Speaker 1: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on De Maya from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Am six Forting. It is the Conway Show.
Speaker 3: Mo Kelly is here normally your show and I'll be
Speaker 3: at eight o'clock. Then you take over for the rest
Speaker 3: of the night.
Speaker 2: Till eleven o'clock. Yeah, to eleven o'clock. That'll be great.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 3: We have La City council Member Tracy Parks is with
Speaker 3: us representing mostly.
Speaker 2: I think, if I'm not.
Speaker 3: Mistaken, the eleventh district is a lot of the western
Speaker 3: southwestern part of the city.
Speaker 2: Is that correct, Tracy?
Speaker 4: That's right, everything west of the four or five south
Speaker 4: of mill Holland down to down to the lax.
Speaker 2: All right, that's huge, that's huge, huge.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 3: Is there any way that we can get Santa Monica back?
Speaker 4: You know, I tell folks in Santa Monica all the time.
Speaker 4: You know, I surround you on three sides. You are
Speaker 4: my constituents, and I'm really lucky to have a great
Speaker 4: relationship with Santa Monica.
Speaker 2: Oh that is great. Where do you see some of
Speaker 2: the measures? Measure A and Measure G.
Speaker 4: Going interesting questions. So Measure A basically repeals and replaces
Speaker 4: County Measure H, which was a quarter cent sales tax
Speaker 4: to raise money for homeless services. And here we are,
Speaker 4: all of these years later, the mental health and addiction
Speaker 4: crisis on the streets in Los Angeles is worse than
Speaker 4: it has ever been. And this Measure A would replace
Speaker 4: and repeal that by making the sales tax permanent and
Speaker 4: doubling it from a quarter cent to a half cent.
Speaker 4: So the question here really is our voters, who historically
Speaker 4: in La County have been very generous when it comes
Speaker 4: to taxing themselves to address the homeless crisis, are they
Speaker 4: going to do it again here? And I think this
Speaker 4: is going to be a very close call. I've spoken
Speaker 4: to a lot of folks about this one, and what
Speaker 4: I consistently here is a high level of frustration with
Speaker 4: the lack of accountability, the lack of transparency, and overall
Speaker 4: the lack of success that we have seen so far.
Speaker 4: I think Prop One on the March ballot was a
Speaker 4: good test run for this in terms of what the
Speaker 4: mood of voters is. That's squeaked by I don't know,
Speaker 4: fifty point one percent to forty nine point nine, and
Speaker 4: I think Measure A is going to face, even maybe
Speaker 4: a more difficult hurdle here in La Counter County, voters
Speaker 4: are fed up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think right.
Speaker 3: And I love how honest you are about it, because
Speaker 3: you have seen your share of homeless problems in your district.
Speaker 3: Because look, if you're homeless, if you know, if you
Speaker 3: have two choices, stay downtown LA or go to the beach,
Speaker 3: everyone goes to the beach.
Speaker 4: Well, and that's right, and it's the literal end of
Speaker 4: the line as well as a regional gateway. And you know, frankly,
Speaker 4: we have been so successful with our efforts to clean
Speaker 4: up the West side of Los Angeles that, frankly, the
Speaker 4: folks who are left on the streets are folks that
Speaker 4: are either too unwell or addicted to say yes when
Speaker 4: hope and services are offered, or they just don't want
Speaker 4: to go. And so you know, the funding that deals
Speaker 4: with the mental health and the addiction issues is really important.
Speaker 4: The policy maker in me says yes, the taxpayer in
Speaker 4: me says no, okay.
Speaker 3: And I think you're exactly you know, if you take
Speaker 3: off your city council head, I think you're exactly on
Speaker 3: page with every taxpayer.
Speaker 2: In the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: When is enough enough, all right, So we'll see how
Speaker 3: those do tonight, and then what about the DA's race.
Speaker 2: Where do you see that.
Speaker 4: I think Nathan Hawkman is going to prevail in every
Speaker 4: corner of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: I speak to victims of crime every day. I hear
Speaker 4: from businesses who are sick and tired of being broken
Speaker 4: into I represent constituents who have been the victims and
Speaker 4: are loved ones of violent crimes, and they are sick
Speaker 4: and tired of the lawlessness, the chaos George Gascon's failed
Speaker 4: social experiment, and they are hungry for a district attorney
Speaker 4: who is going to start holding criminals accountable again. I
Speaker 4: predict that he is going to win county wide in
Speaker 4: every community. I think this is just going to be
Speaker 4: a landslide tonight. And I think it sends a message
Speaker 4: to elected leaders in Los Angeles that they need to
Speaker 4: start getting serious about public safety.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 4: Whether they're going to hear that message or not remains
Speaker 4: to be seen, but I think Nathan Hoffman is one
Speaker 4: step in the right direction. I am also really excited
Speaker 4: about Prop thirty six, which is an effort to reform
Speaker 4: Prop forty seven, one of Gascon's epics failures here in
Speaker 4: the state of California that has led to the rampant
Speaker 4: addiction and retail theft crisis because there are no longer
Speaker 4: any consequences for those kinds of crimes or mandates for
Speaker 4: people involved in drug related crimes to get treatment. Thirty
Speaker 4: six fixes that and opens up those pathways to care
Speaker 4: and accountability.
Speaker 3: I think you're right, Tracy. I know it's a busy night.
Speaker 3: I we we really appreciate you coming on. Are you
Speaker 3: heading over to the any either of the DA's celebrations tonight.
Speaker 2: I will be.
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to celebrating with our next district Attorney,
Speaker 4: Nathan Hawkman.
Speaker 2: Excellent. Nice being over the phone, and hopefully we'll talk
Speaker 2: again soon.
Speaker 4: All right, have a good night, guys.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Tracy Park the eleventh City, eleventh Council district, which is
Speaker 3: again mostly the beach, with the exception of Santa Monica.
Speaker 3: She got the you know, Venez and all the way
Speaker 3: down down the coast, all the way up to the
Speaker 3: four oh five. Mo Kelly, keep an eye on which
Speaker 3: race here.
Speaker 6: I'm looking at it just big picture and it's just
Speaker 6: not trending well for the Vice President. Kamala Harris if
Speaker 6: you look at just about all the states, she is
Speaker 6: either behind or not necessarily in a good enough position
Speaker 6: to overtake Donald Trump in the competitive states. Looking at
Speaker 6: Fox News, they've already called Ohio four Donald Trump. So
Speaker 6: at this point, there's a very very narrow path to
Speaker 6: victory without getting into all the specifics for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 6: If she loses Georgia and North Carolina, that pretty much
Speaker 6: would be it. And if that were to happen, feasibly
Speaker 6: they could call the election tonight. Sees if that were
Speaker 6: to happen. But it's going to get a little bit closer,
Speaker 6: because of course you'll have California, maybe Oregon, and that
Speaker 6: will make it closer. But you just have to look
Speaker 6: at each individual state as far as which one that
Speaker 6: Harris could flip to get back to the states that
Speaker 6: she would need from the Joe Biden electoral map.
Speaker 3: Right and I'm looking this is remarkable. I'm looking at
Speaker 3: Arizona right now at thirty six percent reporting six hundred
Speaker 3: and thirty nine thousand to six hundred and thirty nine
Speaker 3: thousand and change. That couldn't be any closer. Again, we
Speaker 3: don't know whether now it just change to thirty eight percent.
Speaker 3: All right, so we're gonna have Arizona. We'll have numbers
Speaker 3: for you from Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon as well. Oregon
Speaker 3: with one percent reporting, so it's not even worth mentioning
Speaker 3: the numbers there. Colorado has turned bright blue and has
Speaker 3: been called in on every news station, every cable station
Speaker 3: for Kamala Harris, but is surrounded by red states, you know, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming,
Speaker 3: and Utah. And so we'll continue here to figure out
Speaker 3: this thing. I'll be here till eight mo Kelly will
Speaker 3: take it to at least eleven o'clock. Maybe they'll let
Speaker 3: be a winner tonight. Maybe there won't be, but Ricky
Speaker 3: and I on the again. The overall the totals, the
Speaker 3: national totals right now forty six percent for Kamala Harris
Speaker 3: and fifty two percent for Donald Trump. Google has it
Speaker 3: at one oh nine for Harris one ninety eight for
Speaker 3: Donald Trump. And so Donald Trump really literally needs seventy
Speaker 3: two more Electoral College votes and he is the next
Speaker 3: president of the United States. We're live on KFI AM
Speaker 3: six forty Conway, mo Kelly.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KF
Speaker 1: I am six forty.
Speaker 5: This is.
Speaker 3: It's Conway show. It's actually about Kelly's show. But I'm
Speaker 3: here atill eight, my old time slot. I like this
Speaker 3: time slot. I like the old time slot.
Speaker 2: You want to switch? You know what, I wouldn't be
Speaker 2: a post of that. I wouldn't be a post of that.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: I thought you liked having time to do stuff with
Speaker 2: your daughter.
Speaker 3: And look, I thought that if I got home at seven,
Speaker 3: I'd have, you know, the All American dinner with my wife,
Speaker 3: my daughter. We talk about the day I go home.
Speaker 3: My wife's in her office, my daughter's up in her room,
Speaker 3: and I watched TV.
Speaker 2: No different. It must be all right. Well, keep an
Speaker 2: eye on the election.
Speaker 3: It is going about the way that everybody predicted it.
Speaker 3: Everything is way too close to call. You're gonna see
Speaker 3: California close here. They're going to close up and halt
Speaker 3: the vote in about forty minutes, and then you're gonna
Speaker 3: see fifty four electoral votes go towards Kamala Harris. That's
Speaker 3: gonna get her much closer than she is now. Donald
Speaker 3: Trump one according to CNM, one seventy eight to ninety
Speaker 3: one according to Fox Trump two five to Harris one
Speaker 3: point seventeen and according to Google, one ninety eight for
Speaker 3: Trump one oh nine for Harris. What states mode, I
Speaker 3: mean she has to win Pennsylvania.
Speaker 6: Then has to win Pennsylvania. In the last update that
Speaker 6: I saw that she fell behind there. And also when
Speaker 6: I was doing Spectrum this morning, I was saying, I
Speaker 6: was also watching the Senate races because that's a statewide
Speaker 6: race and will give you a sense of how people
Speaker 6: generally feel about the party. And saw the Senate Bob Casey,
Speaker 6: the Democratic Senator, is falling behind in Pennsylvania, which says
Speaker 6: that the Democrats have a problem nationally, have a problem
Speaker 6: in Pennsylvania, which pretends that there's probably going to be
Speaker 6: a bad night for them coast to coast. Doesn't mean
Speaker 6: that necessarily, but it's a bad sign for them before.
Speaker 2: We get to see Gregory.
Speaker 3: You think the really the big last hope is to
Speaker 3: hold is to flip Congress, Then, yeah, that was.
Speaker 6: About the only thing they really could have had the
Speaker 6: best shot at. Yeah, you want to win the Oval office,
Speaker 6: but you definitely want to win the Senate. And the
Speaker 6: map did not look well for Democrats because there are
Speaker 6: more defending seats than having the opportunity to flip them.
Speaker 2: If you're defending, all you can do is keep the
Speaker 2: status quo. At best.
Speaker 6: They were never going to win West Virginia because Joe
Speaker 6: Manchin had left. They probably weren't going to win Montana
Speaker 6: because John Tester was running so far behind his opponent.
Speaker 2: So the odds of keeping the Senate were slimming none.
Speaker 6: But if you look at how the other races are
Speaker 6: going for the Democrats in the Senate, it gives you
Speaker 6: the sense that nationally the Democrats are not going to
Speaker 6: do well, and that can impact what happens in the House.
Speaker 2: I see. All right, let's talk to Steve Gregory. He's
Speaker 2: out keep an eye on the DA's race. Steve Gregory,
Speaker 2: you're on KFI? How you, Bob? Well?
Speaker 7: How are you this evening?
Speaker 3: I'm doing excellent. Thank you for being so formal, young man.
Speaker 3: All right, it's good to be here, it's good to
Speaker 3: be with your show. Give us a scene setter, what
Speaker 3: do you say, what's happening out there? Are the seven
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty people mobbing the place?
Speaker 7: Yet the doors don't open till eight, So we're still yeah, exactly,
Speaker 7: so we're still in sort of prep mode here. People
Speaker 7: are scurrying about and we've got you know, more workers
Speaker 7: coming in and catering's being set up now and the
Speaker 7: food's being placed out on the tables.
Speaker 2: The booze is out ready to get a free booze.
Speaker 2: Free free food, yep, free food. Look at you.
Speaker 7: Not a mystery while you're out there. No, I actually
Speaker 7: I had to order my food.
Speaker 2: They had.
Speaker 7: I had to do Uber Eats for my dinner tonight. Yeah,
Speaker 7: there's no food for us. And it's funny the way
Speaker 7: we're situated here. We're in this long courtyard right at
Speaker 7: the intersection of Crescent Drive and just off of Little
Speaker 7: Santa Monica, and this beautiful, long, narrow courtyard has got
Speaker 7: you know, these fountains in the middle, and then it's
Speaker 7: got these flaming torches on the side, you know those
Speaker 7: space he's outdoor heaters all lined on the outside edges,
Speaker 7: and then these all these tables with these like decorative
Speaker 7: center pieces and whatnot. And they're anticipating up to seven hundred,
Speaker 7: seven hundred and fifty people here. They've even got a
Speaker 7: honey wagon across the street. For those that don't know
Speaker 7: that that's Porta Potti's and a nice, nice clean trailer
Speaker 7: like they use on movie sets. So they're expecting quite
Speaker 7: a crowd here and a lot of drinkers apparently.
Speaker 3: And what is hawk but expected to show up? Is
Speaker 3: he going to be their exact day? Eight o'clock.
Speaker 7: We had a chance to speak with him a little
Speaker 7: after four o'clock this afternoon some of the audio I've
Speaker 7: been playing on KMFI news, But they said he will
Speaker 7: probably address the crowd some time between nine and nine thirty.
Speaker 7: So I don't are you there then?
Speaker 5: If not?
Speaker 7: Mo I didn't know, yeahs live or night? Yeah, so
Speaker 7: mo I, you know I'll be here for that. And
Speaker 7: then if you want to bring that live, I can.
Speaker 7: I can take it to you live on a clean
Speaker 7: feed on this end, so if you want to do that.
Speaker 7: But yeah, so it's it'll be interesting to see. They've
Speaker 7: got monitors set up here now, television monitors, so we're
Speaker 7: going to watch results as they come in when they
Speaker 7: put up the feed, and then we should have a
Speaker 7: pretty good sense where things are at by nine excellent.
Speaker 3: And how many election nights has this been for you
Speaker 3: at KFI?
Speaker 2: At KFI.
Speaker 7: Probably a dozen to fifteen?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, between presidential ones and the local ones. Yeah,
Speaker 7: but in my career it's a few hundred least.
Speaker 2: That's why you're here at KFI byre you the best.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's just that they couldn't get anywhere else to
Speaker 7: work late.
Speaker 3: At night, and the free food and free drinks were
Speaker 3: uh yeah, Like Matt, I.
Speaker 7: Get a partake in that, especially when sharing. When I
Speaker 7: get a text, can you come on? And I was like,
Speaker 7: I'm just getting a burger.
Speaker 2: And a barrier.
Speaker 3: I'm just eating, but you ate an hour ago. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I know, but I'm eating again, but you.
Speaker 2: Ate two hours ago. It's free.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, buddy, I will be listening to it
Speaker 3: A nine nine thirty when Hawkman speaks, Okay, guys, all right,
Speaker 3: thanks man, all right, there he goes Steve Gregory out
Speaker 3: there in Beverly Hills and the DA's race. I've never
Speaker 3: seen a state react so quickly and in such big
Speaker 3: numbers to crime, with proposition thirty six and now the
Speaker 3: possible DA in Los Angeles being thrown out.
Speaker 6: I try to tell people all the time, all politics
Speaker 6: is local, all economies are local, and all crime is local.
Speaker 6: It's about how you feel. What I mean by that is,
Speaker 6: if you don't have a job, be damned. Whatever the
Speaker 6: rest of the country is or what the unemployment numbers are.
Speaker 6: Your economy is bad, right, and people vote emotionally.
Speaker 2: I don't say that's wrong. I'm just saying that's the motivation.
Speaker 6: If you feel the economy, you're going to vote regarding
Speaker 6: the economy. We feel the crime, We're going to vote
Speaker 6: accordingly and be at the DA, be at propositions, be
Speaker 6: at law enforcement.
Speaker 2: And you're seeing that play out, I think you're right.
Speaker 2: We live my wife and I and my daughter. We
Speaker 2: live on an alley.
Speaker 3: Our house backs up to an alley in Burbank, and
Speaker 3: three four years ago, I would go out to the alley,
Speaker 3: you know, take the trash out or pick up trash
Speaker 3: or whatever, just walk you know, into seven eleven down
Speaker 3: that alley. Never ever, for a second felt like I
Speaker 3: was going to get jumped or you know, the homeless
Speaker 3: guy you know's going to come out and yell at me.
Speaker 2: Now, I don't walk in that alley at night.
Speaker 6: And this is what I think elected officials intentionally deceived us.
Speaker 2: You'll see an elected official and both parties do it.
Speaker 6: But I'm saying, when you talk about California's Democrats, we'll say, well,
Speaker 6: crime is down. Yeah, statistically, crime may be down, but
Speaker 6: it's different. You didn't necessarily have to worry about someone
Speaker 6: just walking into a store and ran secting the place.
Speaker 6: Did have to worry about someone walking down the street
Speaker 6: and beating up someone who's elderly. You didn't have to
Speaker 6: worry about the homeless person on the corner who may
Speaker 6: have cost you, or you didn't have to worry about
Speaker 6: someone who's going to get out the car and try
Speaker 6: to take you or your dog. It's a different type
Speaker 6: of crime, and all of us can feel it right
Speaker 6: where we are.
Speaker 3: And the one thing that didn't exist, or if it did,
Speaker 3: it was a very infrequent level, is these street takeovers too.
Speaker 3: They're now every single night, but it's also connected.
Speaker 6: You have the street takeover and it may turn into
Speaker 6: a robbery of a seven eleven.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, exactly. So they're not.
Speaker 6: Discreet as in separated incidents. They are tied together. We
Speaker 6: are going to continue to give you numbers here.
Speaker 3: Let me give you the latest here with Google, Donald
Speaker 3: Trump one ninety eight, Kamala Harris one twelve, CNN has
Speaker 3: it a little closer, Kamala Harris ninety one, Donald Trump
Speaker 3: won ninety five and Fox has it at two oh
Speaker 3: five Donald Trump Kamala Harris one. So we'll have all
Speaker 3: the numbers for you here. They'll continue to come in.
Speaker 3: Polls close at eight o'clock and we'll have a lot
Speaker 3: more information for you around the eight o'clock hour. Mo
Speaker 3: will be here till eleven o'clock tonight, it's mo Kelly Conway.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: I am six forty.
Speaker 3: It's Conway Show. MO Kelly is here. I'm splittingt eight o'clock.
Speaker 3: He'll take you to eleven. But we have some more
Speaker 3: numbers in for you here, and Mo Kelly's keep an
Speaker 3: eye on all of them. He does politics better than
Speaker 3: I think anybody here at the station. And what do
Speaker 3: you see well, I mean.
Speaker 6: At this point, we're having the Midwestern states which are
Speaker 6: being called, and not surprisingly, most of them are going
Speaker 6: to go to Donald Trump as they did go to
Speaker 6: Donald Trump in twenty twenty and twenty sixteen. Like Fox
Speaker 6: News is calling Montana for electoral College votes, UT North
Speaker 6: Dakota three, Utah six, that's not surprising anyone. So that
Speaker 6: doesn't change the complexion of the race. But it's one
Speaker 6: less or two fewer opportunities for Kamala Harris to change
Speaker 6: the trajectory of this race. That's the presidential As far
Speaker 6: as the Senate goes, it's looking more and more like
Speaker 6: the Republicans are going to not only take control of
Speaker 6: the Senate but have some seats to work with, which
Speaker 6: is real important when you're talking about if it becomes
Speaker 6: forty seventh President Donald Trump, When you have control of
Speaker 6: the Senate, just to go civics for a moment, you
Speaker 6: can then get through all of your appointments. You can
Speaker 6: get through your federal judges, you can get your Supreme
Speaker 6: Court justices through if there are any openings which should
Speaker 6: open up. You can get through a lot of the
Speaker 6: things that you, as a president would want to get through. Legislation, Yes,
Speaker 6: you need both houses of Congress, but as far as
Speaker 6: appointments go, like your cabinet or Attorney General something like that,
Speaker 6: you want the Senate.
Speaker 2: Excellent, all right.
Speaker 3: Alex Mike is with us from Fox eleven News, taking
Speaker 3: a break from giving out numbers on Channel eleven, and
Speaker 3: he joins us, Alex, how you bob bing dong with you.
Speaker 2: What do you hear? You have a lot of resources.
Speaker 3: I know you're you're close with a lot of politicians
Speaker 3: on both sides.
Speaker 2: What's the word out there?
Speaker 5: Well, I think if if you you'd rather be Donald
Speaker 5: Trump than be Kamala Harris. Right now, he has it
Speaker 5: looks like more paths to win. It looks like he's
Speaker 5: going to win North Carolina and has a real good
Speaker 5: shot at winning Georgia. And so this is all going
Speaker 5: to come down to the blue Wall of Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Speaker 5: and Wisconsin. And you know, if Donald Trump wins any
Speaker 5: one of them, he's probably the president. He didn't even
Speaker 5: have to win necessarily Pennsylvania, where right now he's ahead slightly.
Speaker 5: Although all of these races are really really close. But
Speaker 5: you don't see an overwhelming rejection of Trump. You see,
Speaker 5: basically the country is very evenly split.
Speaker 3: You know, we had Tracy park on from La City
Speaker 3: Council and if I didn't know that it was twenty
Speaker 3: twenty four, I would have thought it's nineteen seventy four,
Speaker 3: because even the La City Council members have gotten a
Speaker 3: message that crime has got to stop in La.
Speaker 5: Well she has, well, she has, but is so is.
Speaker 3: The people voting for DA, and so are the people
Speaker 3: who are who are rejecting the f the police comments too.
Speaker 5: But there is, but there is still a significant number
Speaker 5: of Democratic Socialists on the LA City Council who do
Speaker 5: not have very positive viewing views of the LAPD or
Speaker 5: of policing itself. Tracy Park is on one side of
Speaker 5: the LA City Council, but there is a not insignificant
Speaker 5: other movement on that council as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get that, but I think that the louder
Speaker 3: voices are the people who are coming out and saying
Speaker 3: we've had enough.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think that the overwhelming message, most likely from
Speaker 5: the California numbers, which we haven't gotten yet, but if
Speaker 5: they're in line with the polls in which I expect
Speaker 5: that they will be, is basically saying that the city
Speaker 5: is sick of homelessness, sick of taxation, and sick of crime.
Speaker 5: And even though many of them will be willing to
Speaker 5: vote for Democratic people, many of whom created those policies,
Speaker 5: if it's just a question on the policies themselves, they're
Speaker 5: willing to vote against them. And that the pendulum is
Speaker 5: swung in a dramatic way on issues of homelessness and
Speaker 5: crime because a lot of Democrats, moderate Democrats are simply
Speaker 5: set up. Tracy Park used that feeling to defeat Mike
Speaker 5: Bonnan in her race for La City Council, and she
Speaker 5: brought together a coalition of people who felt that way
Speaker 5: and has governed that way. But we'll see, you know,
Speaker 5: going forward, if they're other members of that council that
Speaker 5: potentially lose their jobs in the years ahead because of
Speaker 5: that feeling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's also remarkable.
Speaker 3: I'm sure you read this story because you have your
Speaker 3: finger on the pulse of what's going on here, not
Speaker 3: only nationally but state and locally, county and city. It's
Speaker 3: remarkable that, you know, the Jim McDonald's going to be
Speaker 3: the next chief of the La Police Department has asked
Speaker 3: for what looks like a three hundred and fifty thousand
Speaker 3: dollars raise over the previous chief.
Speaker 5: And they're willing to give it to them.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's remarkable, pretty wild. I mean the city council.
Speaker 3: You know, he has to go to that city council
Speaker 3: to justify and ask for that kind of money. And
Speaker 3: three members on that board are in the.
Speaker 5: The police crew, and Jim McDonald will be making more
Speaker 5: money than the president of the United States.
Speaker 3: That's right, Yeah, a lot more like one hundred and
Speaker 3: fifty thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 5: More, which is pretty extraordinary.
Speaker 3: But still, and I know you're going to laugh and
Speaker 3: deny this much less than what you make.
Speaker 5: I wish that was true. I wish that was true.
Speaker 5: But that was a dog that was a different dog
Speaker 5: got him era of media.
Speaker 2: I guess laugh first, then denial got them both. Buddy.
Speaker 2: I appreciate you coming on. You're going over to the
Speaker 2: DA's race.
Speaker 3: You're staying in the anchor chair where it's nice and warm.
Speaker 5: I will be at the anchor chair tonight. We have
Speaker 5: special coverage from ten to eleven thirty with all the
Speaker 5: local results coming in. We should have some some real
Speaker 5: numbers by then. I hope people can check it out.
Speaker 3: Remember and used to be hungry and used to go
Speaker 3: out there and cover news.
Speaker 5: I've been out in the field like four times in
Speaker 5: the last week. What are you talking?
Speaker 2: You remember that, Alex, the old days, I do.
Speaker 5: I was literally in the field twice two.
Speaker 2: I know that.
Speaker 5: I remember yesterday.
Speaker 3: I appreciate you coming on. Okay, thanks man. I don't
Speaker 3: know why he keeps coming on. All we do is
Speaker 3: bus this.
Speaker 8: No, not we you. It's you, Jim, not Sharon. You.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll give you that show.
Speaker 2: But I did ask him a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3: I said, buddy, where is your nearest and be honest
Speaker 3: with me. Where is your nearest Walmart? And have you
Speaker 3: ever been there? And he said, I don't know, and
Speaker 3: I've not been there.
Speaker 2: That's a virtue. If you had an option, would you
Speaker 2: go to Walmart? I love Walmart. I'm a big fan.
Speaker 6: Where's where's your Walmart? Because the ones okay, they fight
Speaker 6: in my Walmart? Okay, my Walmart is a disaster. They fight,
Speaker 6: they steal, the woman checking your receipt at the attitude
Speaker 6: like a gestapo. And I love all of it. I
Speaker 6: love it.
Speaker 3: And I go to clearance when I get there because
Speaker 3: that's if I can buy any cheap crab.
Speaker 6: Oh that's the stuff that's usually on the phone before
Speaker 6: on the floor because they never clean up the place.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: I'm a big fan, But I do wander out to
Speaker 3: other Walmarts because this one's clo it's small, and it's
Speaker 3: it's rough.
Speaker 6: You need to go one south of Burbank. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 6: it's a rough crowd in Burbank. It's like choose your adventure.
Speaker 6: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2: But you know you live.
Speaker 3: Out near what was the original Costco. Yes, the Price Club.
Speaker 3: It was a prairie not Prairie, I guess it was
Speaker 3: on Central Centric three. Yeah, yeah, And we used to
Speaker 3: make a trip from the valley to that that Price Club.
Speaker 2: Do you go by there now?
Speaker 6: They usually have a guy who's in the parking lot
Speaker 6: who sets up his truck and starts playing drums in
Speaker 6: the back of this truck all day, all night with
Speaker 6: the speakers and everything like that. It's loud as hell,
Speaker 6: usually on a Sunday, right across from the Hollywood Park Casina.
Speaker 2: Correct, Yeah, good times. All right, it's con My mo kelly.
Speaker 2: We're keeping eye on all the numbers.
Speaker 3: The polls close in California in sixteen minutes, so we'll
Speaker 3: have some more numbers for you after that and we'll
Speaker 3: come back.
Speaker 2: We'll give you most keep an eye on.
Speaker 3: All these states, and we'll give you a huge, huge
Speaker 3: overview from thirty six thousand feet of what's going on
Speaker 3: with this President's choice.
Speaker 2: It's Conway, mo kelly.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: KFI AM at six forty eight Conway.
Speaker 3: Mo Kelly, I'll be here in a lot well another
Speaker 3: ten minutes. Then I got a press on your stay
Speaker 3: until eleven o'clock. Yes, Sarah, you and I come from
Speaker 3: similar dads.
Speaker 2: Both of them loved the racetrack a lot.
Speaker 3: My dad never had the conversation with us about quitting
Speaker 3: work and coming a full time handicapper.
Speaker 2: Your dad, Yeah, you missed out. That was a good time.
Speaker 3: But you know, my dad sort of did it anyway.
Speaker 3: He was there three or four days a week.
Speaker 6: The difference is your dad was also very successful in
Speaker 6: the entertainment business and you had something to fall back on.
Speaker 6: My father was only a teacher, and he traded being
Speaker 6: a teacher for that, so there was no other alternative
Speaker 6: form of income.
Speaker 3: So I'm asking you that because gambling has been a
Speaker 3: big part of your life has been mine.
Speaker 2: Yes, who would you make a bet on to win
Speaker 2: this thing?
Speaker 6: As far as president, Oh, all the signs are pointing
Speaker 6: towards Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: That's just a fact. Donald Trump.
Speaker 3: And if if you think it's gonna have you think
Speaker 3: it's gonna happen tonight, tomorrow, later this week.
Speaker 6: It could happen tonight if a couple like if Arizona
Speaker 6: falls for Donald Trump, Arizona and Georgia, and let's say Wisconsin,
Speaker 6: because those three states will probably be called tonight. If Arizona, Georgia,
Speaker 6: Wisconsin because Wisconsin will break up the blue wall for
Speaker 6: the Democrats. If that happens, they'll call it tonight. Well,
Speaker 6: you know, Arizona is an odd state. You know, you
Speaker 6: have Phoenix and Tucson, but you also have the northern
Speaker 6: part of that state. I don't remember what the county's called,
Speaker 6: but there's a northern part of that state that's also
Speaker 6: very blue. But it's not a city, it's not you know, urban,
Speaker 6: it's a rural area that happens to be blue. Yes,
Speaker 6: and Arizon from what I'm looking at I'm looking at
Speaker 6: Fox News dot Com, it's a dead heat with fifty
Speaker 6: percent in and Donald Trump is up like two thousand votes,
Speaker 6: which got that closed there would and that goes.
Speaker 2: Back to what I would say earlier.
Speaker 6: If it's like within one or two percentage points, they'll
Speaker 6: be a mandatory recount, which would keep from them calling
Speaker 6: the state, which could impact whether they call the race tonight.
Speaker 6: So there are still other factors involved as far as
Speaker 6: whether it would be called tonight or not. And it
Speaker 6: could be a moot point if Harris were to lose Pennsylvania,
Speaker 6: for example.
Speaker 3: Right, but you knows what is tightened up in the
Speaker 3: last even ten minutes or so five minutes is Georgia.
Speaker 3: Georgia went from you know, fifty three to forty six
Speaker 3: and now it's at fifty one forty eight and there's
Speaker 3: really only a difference of one hundred and forty one
Speaker 3: thousand votes.
Speaker 2: Right, And that's another state.
Speaker 6: If it falls within I think it's a three percent
Speaker 6: threshold that would be it would trigger a mandatory recount,
Speaker 6: and that would delay any type of official projection of
Speaker 6: a winner tonight. Those are the things that people will say, like,
Speaker 6: why don't they you just call it. Well, there's still
Speaker 6: state requirements and goes state by state as far as
Speaker 6: what triggers the recount.
Speaker 3: Almost all evening, Virginia has been in the Donald Trump
Speaker 3: column and now it has flipped into the Kamala Harris column.
Speaker 3: And with the thirteen electoral votes, seventy three percent reporting,
Speaker 3: she's up by nearly sixty thousand votes.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's probably northern Virginia coming in, and if you
Speaker 6: know anything about that area, the dmv DC Maryland Virginia area.
Speaker 6: You talked about how DC was so heavily democratic, so
Speaker 6: is northern Virginia, right, So if northern Virginia those returns
Speaker 6: are coming in, that would skew Harris's way.
Speaker 3: I have a lot of friends who are Democrats. I
Speaker 3: have a lot of friends who are Republicans. And I'm
Speaker 3: gonna tomorrow, whoever wins, I'm gonna wake up bummed for
Speaker 3: my friends that lost, happy for my friends that won,
Speaker 3: but more depressed from my friends that lost, because I
Speaker 3: know what losing on a night like this feels like,
Speaker 3: and it's dreadful, it's horrible.
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, I don't suffer from that problem because I always
Speaker 6: have to maintain a degree of dispassionate analysis, even though
Speaker 6: the rest of the country looks at this like it's a.
Speaker 2: Sporting event, like it's a super Bowl.
Speaker 6: So my side has to win, your site has to lose,
Speaker 6: and so I remember what it's like when the Rams
Speaker 6: lost the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: I was heartbroken.
Speaker 6: And for many people they get heartbroken over a presidential race,
Speaker 6: not me, because it's you have to be dispassionate and
Speaker 6: almost clinical about it.
Speaker 3: The two positive things if Donald Trump does go on
Speaker 3: to win here is you know, this will be I
Speaker 3: don't know, maybe my fourteenth election or so twelve thirteen,
Speaker 3: fourteenth election, and my life has not changed, but maybe
Speaker 3: one to one and a half percent, depending on who's
Speaker 3: in the White House.
Speaker 6: It depends on your voting preferences and what you are
Speaker 6: actually asking for. If you were hanging on the idea
Speaker 6: of the reduction in taxes, as Donald Trump did in
Speaker 6: his first term, that might have helped you in that
Speaker 6: short amount of time, depending on how your economic life
Speaker 6: may sure filter out, like for example, during the Great Recession,
Speaker 6: Obama helped me with this loan forgiveness program and harp
Speaker 6: and hamp the mortgage programs, which saved a lot of
Speaker 6: people's houses. It saved my house. I was avent you foreclosure.
Speaker 6: So it varies by person. And you know, if you
Speaker 6: can point to something that a president did which personally
Speaker 6: helps you, God love you. But more times than that.
Speaker 3: No, Yeah, And I think unless you work for the
Speaker 3: government or you're in the military. If you're in the military,
Speaker 3: it does depend on who's in the wolf of office.
Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely, But otherwise it is you know, life is
Speaker 3: going to go on. That son's going to come up tomorrow,
Speaker 3: and people are going to live their lives no matter
Speaker 3: if it's Harris or Trump.
Speaker 6: Well, I try to tell people all the time what
Speaker 6: is happening right here in California with these different measures
Speaker 6: and propositions, and if it were a mayoral election, those
Speaker 6: results would have far more impact on your day to
Speaker 6: day lives than the presidential election. Now, the presidential election
Speaker 6: is important because they're going to presumably appoint Supreme Court
Speaker 6: justices which can reshape the nation for the next thirty
Speaker 6: forty years.
Speaker 2: But as far as your day to day life, it's
Speaker 2: your local official.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, all right, Moe Kelly is taking over here.
Speaker 3: Thanks for letting us stay for an hour on your program,
Speaker 3: and you'll have it'll be at eleven o'clock. So it's
Speaker 3: another three hours, Oh my god, another three hours of
Speaker 3: all the numbers coming in. We're gonna have numbers from
Speaker 3: Wisconsin that is getting closer to being called with sixty
Speaker 3: percent of the vote in and then in the next
Speaker 3: three minutes you're gonna get Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California, and
Speaker 3: the most interesting state to me is Nevada. I am
Speaker 3: thrilled to see what happens in Nevada. It's been the
Speaker 3: toughest one to guess a lot of union members there.
Speaker 3: That's where Donald Trump said he is not going to
Speaker 3: charge anybody, and he taxes on overtime and no taxes
Speaker 3: on tips. Yeah, tips and overtime. And that's where that
Speaker 3: came from. That comment came from Nevada. So we'll see
Speaker 3: in the next ten minutes how that played with people
Speaker 3: who live in Nevada. Moe, we'll see tomorrow, and again,
Speaker 3: thanks for let me hang back. Always a pleasure, all right.
Speaker 3: Mo Kelly continues here at eleven o'clock with Mark Ronner
Speaker 3: and his whole team, and we'll have all the results
Speaker 3: after mo Lee is tonight eleven. You'll hear him first
Speaker 3: on the wake Up Call with Amy King and then
Speaker 3: with Bill Handle, Gary and Shannon, and of course you'll
Speaker 3: probably get an interview with Hawkman with John Coleblt, because
Speaker 3: John Coleblt, in his support for what probably is the
Speaker 3: new DA, could literally go out and kill twenty people
Speaker 3: tonight and the DA would probably just look.
Speaker 2: The other way.
Speaker 3: The gave him a wild amount of support and so
Speaker 3: he should be very happy with the with the results,
Speaker 3: and there will be coming in in one minute and
Speaker 3: twenty eight seconds. I Moke Kelly next and continue here
Speaker 3: at eleven o'clock on kf I AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Okay, so half of us don't like the numbers, but
Speaker 1: we're doing this election thing. Can we just get to
Speaker 1: the suing part now before Christmas?
Speaker 2: K f I and.
Speaker 3: The k ost HD two Los Angeles, Orange County
Speaker 2: Live everywhere on the radio.
