Speaker 1: Kf I AM six forty is mister mo Kelly. We're
Speaker 1: live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Another day, another earthquake,
Speaker 1: three point nine on the Richter scale. The quake struck
Speaker 1: at nine thirty nine AM, about four miles from Lake
Speaker 1: Elsinor if you're listening to the show. Yesterday we talked
Speaker 1: about how more quakes usually mean more quakes and possibly
Speaker 1: possibly maybe they may become more severe. As it turns
Speaker 1: out that has not been the case as of yet.
Speaker 1: We had like a five point two than a four
Speaker 1: point four. Today was a three point nine, but relatively
Speaker 1: within a small central area. They are all within maybe
Speaker 1: thirty five forty miles of each other to quote beyond that,
Speaker 1: but relatively close to that. But did you know in
Speaker 1: North America only Alaska records more quakes per year than California.
Speaker 1: And of course we're going to be more aware of
Speaker 1: them because they're happening back to back.
Speaker 2: I know we have earthquakes all the time.
Speaker 1: We may not feel them, but we're feeling these, we're
Speaker 1: noticing these, and they're happening back to back to back
Speaker 1: to back almost on a daily basis. Yeah, I know
Speaker 1: some of the quakes are actually aftershocks of quakes, but
Speaker 1: still I think everyone is paying a little bit more
Speaker 1: attention now than before.
Speaker 2: And we were talking about this yesterday.
Speaker 1: I think it's well intentioned where we're talking about having
Speaker 1: your earthquake kit or things that you're going to do
Speaker 1: in the event of an earthquake, but is not really
Speaker 1: realistic in many ways.
Speaker 2: Let me give you an example what I mean.
Speaker 1: If you had like the shake alert app when the
Speaker 1: earthquake comes in, it'll probably tell you to drop cover
Speaker 1: and hold on. What they mean by that is drop immediately,
Speaker 1: drop down onto your hands and knees. This position prevents
Speaker 1: you from being knocked over and allows you to stay
Speaker 1: low and crawl to safety if necessary. Cover, use one
Speaker 1: arm to protect your head and neck, and if possible,
Speaker 1: take shelter under a sturdy table or desk. If no
Speaker 1: shelter is available, get down next to an interior wall,
Speaker 1: away from windows. Stay on your knees and bend over
Speaker 1: to protect vital organs, and hold on. Hold on to
Speaker 1: your shelter until the shaking stops. Be prepared to move
Speaker 1: with your shelter if it shifts. That's fine in Dandy,
Speaker 1: unless you're worried about someone else. Let's say their kids
Speaker 1: in the house and they're downstairs.
Speaker 2: You're just gonna.
Speaker 1: Drop and cover and hold on and say, f the kids.
Speaker 1: You know what is a reasonable response. Your problem gonna
Speaker 1: wonder about so and so or the pets or something.
Speaker 1: You know that it's fine if you're by yourself and
Speaker 1: all you have to worry about is yourself. It's fine
Speaker 1: that if you're cognizant of what's going on and you realize, oh,
Speaker 1: this is an earthquake, let me go stop, drop, cover, roll, shake,
Speaker 1: rattle and roll whatever the things are.
Speaker 2: But realistically doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure. And if it's a really, really
Speaker 1: bad earthquake. We're talking about those Mark Ronner nine point
Speaker 1: zero earthquakes were theorizing yesterday.
Speaker 2: Now we're associating them with me. Thank you for that.
Speaker 1: No, you made mention of how a nine point zero
Speaker 1: is on its way to Spokane right.
Speaker 2: To Seattle, a Pacific North question. It won't make a
Speaker 2: difference for the nine point Oh no, it will.
Speaker 3: I hate to correct you in front of way.
Speaker 1: You're saying that a nine point zero is going to
Speaker 1: make a difference if it lands in Seattle versus Spokane.
Speaker 3: It's going to liquefy about the half of Seattle that
Speaker 3: is closest to the ocean. It will be felt across
Speaker 3: the state. Spokan's like four hundred miles away. You got
Speaker 3: to remember that.
Speaker 1: No, but I'm saying a nine point Oh. We talked
Speaker 1: about this. The magnitude is exponential. They will feel that
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Yeah, they'll feel it. But it's gonna ruin Seattle.
Speaker 1: But please proceed. That's why it's called a runner. It's
Speaker 1: not called an Now what we're gonna copyright that?
Speaker 2: Now? How strong was it? It was a runner?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: Shoot, just a second. Isn't it enough that I missed
Speaker 2: all the food today? You gotta pile all the earthquakes
Speaker 2: stuff on me too. That's not my fault. You need
Speaker 2: to blame the schelle. Wait a minute.
Speaker 3: You were in a frat house, right, fraternity? I'm sorry, yeah,
Speaker 3: but what is that you? Are you familiar with the
Speaker 3: concept of late plates. You should have done this for me. Okay,
Speaker 3: as a brother, I got you, I got you, I
Speaker 3: got you. I mean, if we're naming earthquakes after you, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: after shots, I will give you a plate.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 3: I don't like this trade off, but you get my point.
Speaker 3: Let's not get hung up on this though, this this
Speaker 3: horrible betrayal.
Speaker 2: How is it a betrayal? Are you talking about the
Speaker 2: earthquake naming or the food? Actually both? Well, you need
Speaker 2: to pick. You can't have both I have.
Speaker 3: I mean, I've gotten completely screwed in two different respects today.
Speaker 2: And well sometimes that can be good thing. Well, I'm
Speaker 2: willing to move. I see what you did.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like you know Elver's paying attention
Speaker 1: to the show. Otherwise I would have gotten my point. No,
Speaker 1: it's all right, Elmer. I tried to go right past
Speaker 1: it myself.
Speaker 2: It's no, no, no, all right, all right.
Speaker 1: But if you were to stop, drop cover and hold on,
Speaker 1: how's that gonna work for anyone else in the house?
Speaker 1: I mean, are you for me? I need to realize
Speaker 1: what's going on. It's almost like you can't. You have
Speaker 1: to figure out where you're going to go. You know,
Speaker 1: are you going to run to or from danger? You
Speaker 1: might be in a place where, oh, there's a bookcase
Speaker 1: by me. I don't want to just drop right here.
Speaker 1: I might need to go into another room, That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I don't think it takes into all these
Speaker 1: other variables in the equation.
Speaker 3: It's looks good on paper, I'm not so sure about reality.
Speaker 3: Don't drop right next to your weight rack hello, because it.
Speaker 1: Says immediately, drop down onto your hands and knee. It
Speaker 1: doesn't say look out, there might be a refrigerator next
Speaker 1: to you or something you know, or be careful of
Speaker 1: that bookcase right next to you, or be aware of
Speaker 1: the lantern above you, the chandelier, you know.
Speaker 2: It just says drop immediately. Why would I do that?
Speaker 3: Well, here's an aspect of it that you, as a
Speaker 3: martial arts lifelong practitioner, can appreciate. These things happen so fast.
Speaker 3: People don't know what to do in these like ten
Speaker 3: fifteen or in the most recent case, thirty seconds. You've
Speaker 3: got to practice these things so that it's muscle memory,
Speaker 3: it's hardwired into you. I mean, you can say whatever
Speaker 3: you want about having a go bag and protecting your
Speaker 3: organs and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but unless you've practiced.
Speaker 3: It, you're going to be standing there like Martin Short,
Speaker 3: running back and forth wondering what to do.
Speaker 1: But also to use that great analogy, give you great
Speaker 1: credit for that. To use that great analogy a lot
Speaker 1: of times you can't react too fast or commit to
Speaker 1: an action too fast, because then you've just increased your danger.
Speaker 1: If you're in the garage, you know, I got tools
Speaker 1: and stuff hanging on the sides of the garage and
Speaker 1: everything that may not be a safer place. You have
Speaker 1: to know what is happening and assess it in that
Speaker 1: five to ten seconds before. I would recommend before you
Speaker 1: just stop, drop cover and hold on, because just because
Speaker 1: you drop it, your cover and hold on it doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that you are in a safer location.
Speaker 2: You could be right under the piano that's on the
Speaker 2: upper floor heller.
Speaker 1: You know, if it's a really bad earthquake, stuff is
Speaker 1: going to start falling, presumably presumably you know if it's
Speaker 1: if it's a Runner point five, Okay, if.
Speaker 3: It's a mark on the Rich discode, you're gonna gang
Speaker 3: up on me on this. No, no, no, seriously, But
Speaker 3: if it is, we're all dead.
Speaker 1: Thank you about Dan time you joined the show. When
Speaker 1: we come back, we have a metro update and to
Speaker 1: my knowledge, no one died, no one got shot, no
Speaker 1: one got stabbed.
Speaker 5: I think you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on
Speaker 5: demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1: But I'm actually kind of jealous, not all the way jealous,
Speaker 1: but kind of jealous of this new Metro's Go pass program.
Speaker 1: When I was fifteen years old in high school, the
Speaker 1: only way that I could get around see my friends
Speaker 1: in different cities was to ride the bus.
Speaker 2: There was no subway. It was just the bus. There
Speaker 2: was no uber.
Speaker 1: That was just the bus or bicycle or walking. And
Speaker 1: the bus usually was too expensive for me fifteen. I
Speaker 1: didn't have a job, so it was just I think
Speaker 1: I had an allowance of ten dollars a week, no
Speaker 1: exaggeration news ten dollars, and I think the bus was
Speaker 1: maybe fifty seventy five cents, can't remember, but you didn't
Speaker 1: have enough money to do anything.
Speaker 2: And if you're going to get around.
Speaker 1: The city, and there was no internet, so trying to
Speaker 1: figure out which bus to catch to go here and
Speaker 1: then to there and connect there, it was not easy.
Speaker 2: It was just really difficult.
Speaker 1: Comparatively speaking, young people today have a little bit easier now.
Speaker 2: I wasn't dodging bullets.
Speaker 1: And knives and you know, the unfettered gang violence that
Speaker 1: you would commonly see on the Metro today.
Speaker 2: To while I was looking at me with like I did.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I didn't because I was riding the
Speaker 1: torrents and the Guardena buses.
Speaker 2: You know, I was. I stayed on the suburb side
Speaker 2: of town and you were taking the bus through gang there.
Speaker 2: No I was not. No, I was not.
Speaker 1: But if if I were, you know, coming up today,
Speaker 1: I would take advantage of the Metro Go Pass program
Speaker 1: because more than four hundred thousand students have been enrolled
Speaker 1: into that go Pass program and it gives them free
Speaker 1: fare for unlimited travel to school, work, and leisure activities.
Speaker 1: Just to downs today, and it also surpassed forty million
Speaker 1: student boardings, meaning kids are using it. They are using
Speaker 1: and they don't have to use it only during the
Speaker 1: school week. They don't only have to use it to
Speaker 1: and from school. They can use it all day, every day, everywhere.
Speaker 1: Metrosco Pass is available to all students whose school district
Speaker 1: has registered with the program. Participating schools distribute tap cards
Speaker 1: and activation codes so students can ride transit to school
Speaker 1: and extracurricular activities or work without the worry of paying fares.
Speaker 2: That is kind of cool, you know. If I just
Speaker 2: think for me, I don't know how many.
Speaker 1: Kids are actively using it on a day to day basis,
Speaker 1: but I know that if I were a student, not
Speaker 1: only would that help me, it probably help my family.
Speaker 3: That's similar to the program that my son was a
Speaker 3: part of when he had his internship. The school district
Speaker 3: provided unlimited bus fare, tokens, or even metro passes depending
Speaker 3: on how far.
Speaker 2: They needed to travel.
Speaker 3: Now, he could just got a bus, but the kid
Speaker 3: had got a Metro card and it automatically refilled every
Speaker 3: week and he could use it for doing anything.
Speaker 1: See that right there. That just explains how it can
Speaker 1: be used. And all schools in the la USD offer
Speaker 1: go Pass to their students, along with schools in one
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty four additional participating school districts, including public districts,
Speaker 1: Charter Networks community colleges. Go Pass participants can take unlimited, free,
Speaker 1: lick free rides on Metro, bus and rail Analope Valley
Speaker 1: Transit Authority, City of Commerce Transit, Culver City Bus, Foothill Transit,
Speaker 1: Glendale B Line, g trans La Department of Transportations dash
Speaker 1: La County Shuttles, Long Beach Transit, Lynnwood Trolley, Montabello Bus,
Speaker 1: Norwood Transit, Pasadena Transit to all a shout out Santa Monica,
Speaker 1: Big Blue Bus, and Torrance Transit. As I was saying earlier,
Speaker 1: meaning that if I were fourteen fifteen years old again,
Speaker 1: there would be no place I wouldn't be able to go,
Speaker 1: no place because I would be able to get there
Speaker 1: by public transportation. Now we still have to have the
Speaker 1: conversation about whether it would be safe to put your
Speaker 1: child on the bus or a train, subway train, but
Speaker 1: that's something different. But if I was in a position
Speaker 1: where it was difficult to make sure that my kid
Speaker 1: could get to school or needed a ride to school
Speaker 1: or something like that, this would be something that would
Speaker 1: I'm quite sure would be beneficial.
Speaker 3: Now, when my son got it, it was because neither
Speaker 3: me nor his mother. No, me nor his mother were
Speaker 3: able to pick him up because his internship was in
Speaker 3: the middle of the day. Neither could leave and make
Speaker 3: that hour drive all the way to pick him up,
Speaker 3: drop him off, and then get back to work.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 3: So you know, after all the conversations we had about Metro,
Speaker 3: I was real hesitant. But it's also like, but I
Speaker 3: also can't take him two three times a week to
Speaker 3: his internship and he got it, and he was, say,
Speaker 3: if he traveled with a friend, he was, you know,
Speaker 3: head on a swivel, always looking around, always checking because
Speaker 3: why because we were always talking about it. Because yeah,
Speaker 3: because he knew full and hell well how serious it was.
Speaker 3: But he saw the occasional unhoused person acting out. He
Speaker 3: saw a lot of that. He saw a lot of
Speaker 3: gang members getting on and off the bus. But for
Speaker 3: the most part they were getting on and going to
Speaker 3: wherever they'd go to do gang things or whatever. They
Speaker 3: didn't mess with the people on the bus.
Speaker 2: But you know, it's free.
Speaker 1: Look, I'd been to Stepdad with high school age kids,
Speaker 1: middle school age kids. I understand, at least on that level,
Speaker 1: you can't always get to them to pick them up
Speaker 1: from school, or to take them to this location or
Speaker 1: that location, to this recital or that practice. And if
Speaker 1: you had something like this because not everyone can afford,
Speaker 1: oh just go ahead and call it uber. Now, you
Speaker 1: can't do that all the time. Many times you got
Speaker 1: to take public transportation. I wish that this would have
Speaker 1: been around then. You know, I still have my misgivings
Speaker 1: about Metro big picture, but I'm not going to shake
Speaker 1: a stick at something like this which is going to
Speaker 1: help all sorts of students, all in families, in all
Speaker 1: sorts of ways to make it easier on them. You know, look,
Speaker 1: I wish I had it as a kid, and I
Speaker 1: know my parents wish they had it as parents of kids.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not just good for the kid. I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about as someone who wanted to have more freedom
Speaker 1: where I could go to this area or that area
Speaker 1: and hang out with my friends. Because I didn't live
Speaker 1: close to my school, I had to get a ride
Speaker 1: to school, so.
Speaker 2: Which meant that you can get to hang out with
Speaker 2: him on the weekends. There was no way for us
Speaker 2: to hang out now.
Speaker 3: Said when I was in high school, we had to
Speaker 3: go down to the rough, tough and dirty office and
Speaker 3: apply for a student bus pass, which was a discounted
Speaker 3: bus pass.
Speaker 2: You had to pay for that, and it was not unlimited.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, it was only like certain days, certain hours. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was. It was like, you know, you're going to
Speaker 3: and fro school, you're hanging out on the vie.
Speaker 1: It's not Saturday and you can go to you know,
Speaker 1: go to Torrents.
Speaker 3: Right now, that wasn't happening. Weren't catching the bus to
Speaker 3: the beach, none of that. But this new program, Man,
Speaker 3: this is a lifesaver.
Speaker 1: I went to South Torrence High School and I don't Mark,
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, and I'm bringing you in
Speaker 1: because in the state of were you in Washington growing
Speaker 1: up in high school?
Speaker 2: For the most part, yeah, I spoken Okay.
Speaker 1: When I was in school, we had open campus for lunch,
Speaker 1: which meant that we could leave the campus and go
Speaker 1: anywhere for lunch as long as you're back in time
Speaker 1: for your period right after lunch. Well, I wasn't a
Speaker 1: rich kid, so I didn't have my own car, so
Speaker 1: it was about the only place I could walk.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: That was the extent of the freedom that we had
Speaker 1: in high school. Now they don't have that anymore because
Speaker 1: it's a different world. You just can't have all these
Speaker 1: kids just going wherever, leaving campus before school's over, even
Speaker 1: only for lunch.
Speaker 3: Did they have that in Washington? Not so much. But
Speaker 3: I mean I do remember being a young hooligan and
Speaker 3: like walking across the street from the convenience store and
Speaker 3: trying to get booze with a fake ide at lunch
Speaker 3: and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, you.
Speaker 1: And Tualla must have hung out it together at some point,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you we are from the same claw.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at Booze, I'm looking at him right, or
Speaker 3: like my brother I was there with you. I mean
Speaker 3: it rarely worked, but no, you generally nobody left back then, Elmer,
Speaker 3: did you have where did you go to high school?
Speaker 6: Lehman High School in the Bronx, New York? Did you
Speaker 6: have an open campus? We did?
Speaker 2: We did leave for lunch show. And how far did
Speaker 2: people go? Did it like get on the trains and
Speaker 2: go somewhere or just walk?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: So we actually had an unlimited pass like you're covering
Speaker 6: in the story, so we could go anywhere.
Speaker 2: Uh so people would just leave, go home, or go
Speaker 2: to Manhattan, you name it. If like the subway could
Speaker 2: get you there, they'd leave class.
Speaker 1: Okay, not all of us are familiar with the geography
Speaker 1: and topography of New York. The Bronx to Manhattan is
Speaker 1: like how long of a train ride?
Speaker 2: It's like less than an hour? Damn yeah you much
Speaker 2: less than a hour? That could be fifty nine minutes.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, so I'd say like forty to an hour,
Speaker 6: depending if you get like an express train, you can
Speaker 6: get there in like maybe half an hour, but like,
Speaker 6: you're not coming back to class after that. No, no,
Speaker 6: it's cutting.
Speaker 2: You're just leaving. That's not like never mind.
Speaker 1: Jesus Warriors come out to play.
Speaker 2: Have you ever seen that movie?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: No, I love The Warriors.
Speaker 1: Okay, I just want to make sure, lindsay, have you
Speaker 1: seen the movie The Warriors? No?
Speaker 4: I have not.
Speaker 1: Okay, your homework assignment, young lady.
Speaker 2: You have to.
Speaker 1: It's it's on stream. You can find it. Okay, I
Speaker 1: think it's nineteen seventy nine. You have to find the
Speaker 1: movie The Warriors, and you have to watch it from
Speaker 1: beginning to end. And I'm going to quiz you on
Speaker 1: it when you come back. What are you working on
Speaker 1: the show again tomorrow?
Speaker 2: Well, there you go. You have to see it.
Speaker 1: It's one of the greatest movies in American cinematic history.
Speaker 2: Okay, stop, I'm dying that a lot of movies. Wait
Speaker 2: a minute, what Mark you didn't like The Warriors. I'm
Speaker 2: dying that somebody alive hasn't seen it. Oh okay, I
Speaker 2: get ready to say.
Speaker 1: I watched it for like a forty fifth time a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how can you not? I'm so disappointed. In you,
Speaker 2: Lindsay watch a little and you're working on this show.
Speaker 2: Oh you gotta step it up. Okay, Later with Mo
Speaker 2: Kelly KFIM six forty.
Speaker 1: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, but we have
Speaker 1: an RV park ban update when we come back.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 5: kfi AM six forty.
Speaker 1: In a fourteen zero vote on Monday unanimous, the La
Speaker 1: City Council ordered city agencies to come up with quote
Speaker 1: unquote recommendations for a citywide program. For that program would
Speaker 1: limit RV parking, and it would also have to provide restrooms,
Speaker 1: septic waste removal, and help finding housing and other services
Speaker 1: and designated areas.
Speaker 2: That's a heavy lift.
Speaker 1: It's one thing to ban RVs from parking in certain areas,
Speaker 1: but you also got to provide restrooms. You also have
Speaker 1: to provide septic waste removal. You also have to help
Speaker 1: finding housing and other services in designated areas.
Speaker 2: In Ferry, I'm all for it. The practicality, I'm not
Speaker 2: so sure.
Speaker 1: And if you've lived in any of my neighborhoods used
Speaker 1: to live out in the Harbor City, uh Lomita, Torrents area,
Speaker 1: and you'd leave my house and they would be r
Speaker 1: v's parked one after the other after the other after
Speaker 1: the other. And it's one thing when you're dealing with
Speaker 1: just the RV's because the streets were narrow, it was
Speaker 1: it was impossible to drive past them in both directions.
Speaker 1: And that's saying nothing of not having any real parking
Speaker 1: around where you live because the r v's have taken
Speaker 1: up all the parking. Then there's see the issue of
Speaker 1: the smell because they're emptying their tanks, their toilets in
Speaker 1: the in the in the area. A lot of them
Speaker 1: are broken down and not moving anywhere. It's not like
Speaker 1: you're going to tow them. They're not going anywhere. They're
Speaker 1: not worried about parking tickets. And they tried to make
Speaker 1: it where you couldn't park there between two am and
Speaker 1: six am. It didn't matter because it wasn't being enforced. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's an eyesore, but also it's a health issue.
Speaker 2: It's unsanitary. So I'm all for some sort of RV band.
Speaker 1: But this goes back to our other conversation about removing
Speaker 1: the encampments. Yeah, we're all four removing the encampments, but
Speaker 1: then what you still have to deal with the human element.
Speaker 1: You still have to deal with the fact that people
Speaker 1: were living there, and a lot of people are not
Speaker 1: living in a physical encampment or a tenement because they're
Speaker 1: living in an RV. It's not one or the other,
Speaker 1: but it's an either both and issue, and I wish
Speaker 1: they could do something with the RVs. And for me,
Speaker 1: it's more than just an eyesore. It's more than that.
Speaker 1: It makes it real difficult to just even maneuver in
Speaker 1: your own neighborhood. Even now where I live, they have
Speaker 1: certain streets where it's like an RV park, And from
Speaker 1: what I understand, people are making their affirmative choice if
Speaker 1: they're getting close to becoming homeless, that for them is
Speaker 1: a reasonable alternative where people are actually people. I think
Speaker 1: you've heard about this twalla where they're actually renting RVs
Speaker 1: to people so they can live in them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was one spot in the valley where someone
Speaker 3: had a lot and just parking a bunch of run
Speaker 3: down RV's there and renting them in. Like you said,
Speaker 3: they were emptying their ways into the gutter, not even
Speaker 3: really in the sewer. Half the time they were trying
Speaker 3: to connect those pipes to the gutter, and of course
Speaker 3: it attracts all type of unsavory nests with individuals who
Speaker 3: not everyone, but some of the individuals who are on drugs.
Speaker 3: It's just, look, my heart goes out to these individuals.
Speaker 3: But you know, that's what I was saying on soul
Speaker 3: called Saturday, the day when we had Governor Tono's going
Speaker 3: through southern California snapping his fingers. Clean it up, uhs, clean.
Speaker 2: It up, you know. Encampments. To me, the problem is
Speaker 2: you go out there.
Speaker 3: Are you going out there with people like are you
Speaker 3: going out there with the Avengers? To then take these
Speaker 3: individuals to shelter, to take them through the program, to
Speaker 3: help them through whatever mental crisis landed them there. This
Speaker 3: program is great, but then what are you doing with
Speaker 3: the people because they're living here in these RVs.
Speaker 1: I am consistent, or at least I'd like to think
Speaker 1: of myself as consistent. I criticize Governor k Newsom for
Speaker 1: doing what I thought was a photo op, for just
Speaker 1: being seen as doing something about homelessness in the same
Speaker 1: way that I criticized then Sheriff Alex Vianueva. Those things
Speaker 1: don't get anything done. That's about a photo op. That's
Speaker 1: about being seen, that's about being tough on homelessness. Now,
Speaker 1: emotionally and intellectually, I'm in agreement. You can't have the
Speaker 1: RVs park there in perfectuity. You can't have the homeless
Speaker 1: encampments there forever, I agree something has to be done.
Speaker 1: But what is being proposed and I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not going to contradict myself. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: let the perfect be the enemy of the good. It
Speaker 1: doesn't it doesn't have to be perfect in address everything.
Speaker 1: I'm saying that what we are choosing or trying to
Speaker 1: do creates other problems, and it's not even solving the
Speaker 1: original problem. What I mean by that is, yes, you
Speaker 1: can ban RVs, but you're not lessening the homelessness.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: You know you're you're not actually solving a problem because
Speaker 1: the problem is not the RV. The problem is the homelessness.
Speaker 1: And if you're not dealing with the homelessness, Okay, so
Speaker 1: they won't be homeless in an RV, they'll be homeless
Speaker 1: in an encampment. Oh, we're gonna get rid of them too, Okay,
Speaker 1: so they'll just be laying on the street, which we
Speaker 1: have as well. So you've removed the RVs, you've removed
Speaker 1: the encampments, because that's what they're talking about doing, and
Speaker 1: so you just have people just sleeping on the street.
Speaker 1: Have we actually then addressed the problem, Have we then
Speaker 1: solved the problem? Or have we given a different face,
Speaker 1: a different presentation of the same problem. That's what I
Speaker 1: think it is. I think it's c we have a
Speaker 1: different face. It looks different. We won't see the RVs,
Speaker 1: we won't see the tents, you know, you won't see
Speaker 1: the cardboard boxes. You'll just see people just laying out
Speaker 1: on the street. Well, I mean we have that now,
Speaker 1: but you just see more of that. But we would
Speaker 1: have gotten rid of the r v's or moved them
Speaker 1: to a different portion of the city. We would have
Speaker 1: got rid of the cardboard boxes. And if you've ever
Speaker 1: seen a homeless encampment removed, I have. There was one
Speaker 1: by my old house, and I'll tell you exactly where
Speaker 1: it was. It was on Lomita Boulevard between Vermont and
Speaker 1: Figure Rowa. The whole block on one side of the
Speaker 1: street was just a homeless village. Now they put those
Speaker 1: like these big planters where you can't even use the
Speaker 1: sidewalk at all. But what they did is they would
Speaker 1: clean out the homeless encampment. They had people from the
Speaker 1: city clean them out. Within twenty four hours they were back.
Speaker 1: So just cleaning them out did not solve the problem
Speaker 1: and did not even address the problem.
Speaker 2: So they put in those big cement planters. You know
Speaker 2: what happened. They just moved around the corner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because why they haven't actually gotten to the homeless issue.
Speaker 2: They were only dealing with the encampment issue. So, yeah,
Speaker 2: I want to get rid of the RVs, but that's
Speaker 2: not going to get rid of the actual problem.
Speaker 1: But going back to our last segment, I was talking
Speaker 1: to Elmer and he was talking about going to lunch
Speaker 1: and he would go to lunch in New York. They'd
Speaker 1: get on the subway train and they would just go
Speaker 1: in one direction, just riding off into the sunset. It's like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you're not going to go to lunch
Speaker 1: New York and go from the Bronx to Manhattan. I
Speaker 1: know a little something about New York. That's not a
Speaker 1: quick trip on the subway. And Elma were saying like
Speaker 1: it was about forty minutes to an hour each way,
Speaker 1: and I said, Okay, that's just the end of your
Speaker 1: school day.
Speaker 2: But it just got me thinking about the movie The Warriors.
Speaker 2: And I know, Elma, have you even seen the movie? Yeah? No,
Speaker 2: I love the movie.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I was speaking to Lendsay, our producer, and
Speaker 1: she had no knowledge of it.
Speaker 2: I rattled off a line from the movie Warriors come
Speaker 2: out play, and it just went over. Lendsay said, she
Speaker 2: has no idea.
Speaker 4: Worriers come out to plenty. Warriors come out to plenty.
Speaker 2: Now listen to him scream.
Speaker 7: Warriors come out to night, wors come out to play.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that will never get old.
Speaker 2: That will never get old.
Speaker 1: It's one of the greatest cinematic pieces in American history,
Speaker 1: no exaggeration. And Lindsey for her homework tonight, she needs
Speaker 1: to go home and watch that movie because we're gonna Quizzer.
Speaker 1: We need to make sure that she knows when Tuwalla says.
Speaker 2: Can you dig it?
Speaker 1: She better know exactly what that means and who the
Speaker 1: hell Cyrus was.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying. I'm just saying.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 5: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Into a Dome opened today Bruto Mars is headlining the
Speaker 1: venue's inaugural concert. And we've talked about, well, I've talked
Speaker 1: about just from a personal standpoint. I live close enough
Speaker 1: where the traffic impacts me. I'm about three miles away
Speaker 1: from it. But it's going to be hell for anyone
Speaker 1: who lives around there, and hell if you're trying to
Speaker 1: get there or get home. But there is some good
Speaker 1: news to share. There are going to be complimentary shuttles
Speaker 1: from five different transit centers across the LA area for
Speaker 1: all events and concerts. They will have a high capacity
Speaker 1: transport to Inglewood. They'll be dropped off at the end
Speaker 1: to it Dome Mobility Hub, a dedicated spot for shuttle
Speaker 1: users on the first level of the East Garage. I
Speaker 1: could describe it to you, but you haven't been there.
Speaker 1: But that's like ninety seventh in Prairie, and the shuttle
Speaker 1: service is available exclusively for ticketed fans, and reservations are
Speaker 1: strongly recommended to guarantee a spot.
Speaker 2: I did something like this.
Speaker 1: I would go to the Dodger Games and I would
Speaker 1: pick up the Silver Line bus from the Harbor Gateway
Speaker 1: Transit Center, which is I can guardee I mentioned that
Speaker 1: because it was real easy to get on. You go
Speaker 1: straight to the stadium and they pick you up and
Speaker 1: bring you back to the transit center and you don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about parking or anything like that. It
Speaker 1: was very convenient, at least going to Dodger Stadium. I
Speaker 1: mentioned the Harbor Gateway Transit Center because that's one of
Speaker 1: the parking ride locations that you can pick up the
Speaker 1: shuttle service to go to the end to a dome.
Speaker 1: If you're in the Woodland Hills area, Pierce College is
Speaker 1: a pick up and drop off point. If you're in
Speaker 1: the Culver City area, the Expo Slash Supovida metro station
Speaker 1: is a pick up and drop off point. Hopefully you
Speaker 1: won't get stabbed South Bay Guardina. As I was saying,
Speaker 1: the Harbor Gateway Transit Center. If you're near al Monte
Speaker 1: or in al Monte, there's the El Monte Metrolink station
Speaker 1: and downtown La of course Union station. And if you're
Speaker 1: going to into a dome, I would think that's a
Speaker 1: better way to come and go to go to the
Speaker 1: and leave the event. I was telling you about how
Speaker 1: difficult it was just leaving so far to get an.
Speaker 2: Uber or something like that.
Speaker 1: So if you think that you're going to get an
Speaker 1: uber to and from into a dome, it's probably better
Speaker 1: than so far, but probably not much better because the
Speaker 1: traffic is so congested it makes it almost impossible for
Speaker 1: a ride share vehicle to get down Century Boulevard or
Speaker 1: get down Prairie and get to you where you are.
Speaker 1: So if you have an option to try one of
Speaker 1: these shuttle services, me personally, I would try it. Now
Speaker 1: you might be risking your life if you're you know,
Speaker 1: end up at a metro station or something. But you
Speaker 1: can't have it all. You can't have it all. Not
Speaker 1: everything is going to be safe. But the shuttle bookings,
Speaker 1: which include a ride to and from the event, can
Speaker 1: be scheduled in the La Clippers Plus into a Dome
Speaker 1: app shuttles will leave the park and ride lots for
Speaker 1: two hours from two hours before doors open to the
Speaker 1: start of the show, will leave the dome at a
Speaker 1: pre scheduled time, so you know, if you happen to
Speaker 1: be close to those parking ride stations, I would recommend
Speaker 1: it because it's easier to do that then drive all
Speaker 1: the way in the Inglewood and hunt for a parking space.
Speaker 2: Now, the into a dome.
Speaker 1: They have a huge parking structure right across Prairie, and
Speaker 1: they have an overpass walking overpass, which is pretty convenient,
Speaker 1: But driving down Prairie to get to that, it's a
Speaker 1: cluster truck. When nothing's going on and you have an
Speaker 1: event like Bruno Mars, you have to drive a century boulevard.
Speaker 2: Is not that why Prairie is not that wide in
Speaker 2: either direction.
Speaker 1: There's also some construction, so I just know I was
Speaker 1: there last night after the show, I stopped by. There's
Speaker 1: there's really no good way to drive in.
Speaker 2: Let someone else do the driving. What was it? Greathound
Speaker 2: lead the drive to us? Is that what they're all? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so leave it to Metro. Okay, worry about
Speaker 1: just not getting stabbed. Make sure that you can keep
Speaker 1: your head on a swivel. Worry about that, don't worry
Speaker 1: about the driving. It's later with Mo Kelly k if
