WEBVTT

1
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:24.559
<v Speaker 1>It's later with Mo Kelly caf I AM six forty.

2
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.879
<v Speaker 2>We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and if

3
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:30.920
<v Speaker 2>you've been listening to KFI, we have been covering the

4
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:35.119
<v Speaker 2>latest as it relates to the fires in Ventura County.

5
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.280
<v Speaker 2>And you may have known that is a fire which

6
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:42.679
<v Speaker 2>started this afternoon and quickly grew to more than ten thousand,

7
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.920
<v Speaker 2>five hundred acres. There have been multiple injuries which have

8
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:53.240
<v Speaker 2>been reported, multiple houses, unfortunately, which have been engulfed in flames.

9
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.119
<v Speaker 2>And the latest information I have and maybe Mark Ronner

10
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.600
<v Speaker 2>may can correct me or update me if there's something

11
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.960
<v Speaker 2>which is conflicting or an additional information to this. But

12
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:06.000
<v Speaker 2>a number of residents were transported to hospitals to be

13
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:10.400
<v Speaker 2>checked for smoke inhalation. There have been some difficulties as

14
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:13.640
<v Speaker 2>far as getting water over the fires and dropping the

15
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.280
<v Speaker 2>water over the fires, just because of the location and

16
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:21.200
<v Speaker 2>also the high winds. If you are new to California

17
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:23.640
<v Speaker 2>or if you haven't lived here most of your life,

18
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:27.560
<v Speaker 2>the Santa Ana winds, they are an annual occurrence and

19
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:29.879
<v Speaker 2>you may not get it, but it's something that we

20
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 2>always have to deal with and we may not think

21
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.480
<v Speaker 2>much of it until we have situations like these from

22
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:37.040
<v Speaker 2>which we do have these fires.

23
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>It's very dangerous.

24
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 2>It makes it very easy for these fires to spread

25
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.920
<v Speaker 2>very quickly over a large area of terrain. And Mark

26
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:48.439
<v Speaker 2>di digniss anything as far as the fires, it's not that.

27
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:48.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm aware of.

28
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:50.439
<v Speaker 3>We're trying to stay on top of it, and I'll

29
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:52.719
<v Speaker 3>let you know as soon as I find out anything new.

30
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so we will continue to update you over the

31
00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:00.280
<v Speaker 2>course of the evening regarding the Ventura County fires. If

32
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.239
<v Speaker 2>you're just tuning in, it's engulfed more than ten thousand,

33
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:08.199
<v Speaker 2>five hundred acres and a number of structures have burned down.

34
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:08.879
<v Speaker 1>Unfortunately.

35
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.680
<v Speaker 2>I was watching actually I think it was KTLA, and

36
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:14.280
<v Speaker 2>they had a reporter out there and you could see

37
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:18.080
<v Speaker 2>the homes burning in the background. I felt like it

38
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:22.599
<v Speaker 2>was almost gratuitous. I felt like I was watching someone's misery. Well,

39
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.000
<v Speaker 2>I knew I was watching someone's misery, but I felt

40
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.520
<v Speaker 2>bad seeing it happening in real time.

41
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's always rough as a reporter.

42
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:32.840
<v Speaker 3>I had to cover lots of fires, house fires, trailer fires,

43
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.800
<v Speaker 3>you name it, and you always have to thread that

44
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:39.199
<v Speaker 3>needle of letting people know information that they need to have.

45
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:41.360
<v Speaker 3>At the same time, there are people there who've lost

46
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 3>or in the process of losing their homes, and maybe

47
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:46.120
<v Speaker 3>they don't want to be photographed.

48
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:46.319
<v Speaker 4>Right.

49
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:48.840
<v Speaker 2>It's very difficult, right. I don't know how I would

50
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.400
<v Speaker 2>respond in that situation. I'm pretty sure I would not

51
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:56.120
<v Speaker 2>be approachable. I would not be amenable to an interview. Intellectually,

52
00:02:56.199 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 2>I could understand the value of the information, but that's

53
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:03.919
<v Speaker 2>not a time for me as an individual. If I'm

54
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.319
<v Speaker 2>one of the people most affected, that's not the time

55
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:08.520
<v Speaker 2>to have a conversation with me.

56
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.560
<v Speaker 3>No, And you really, as a reporter, you have to

57
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.159
<v Speaker 3>read the room. You have to be a little bit

58
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 3>empathetic and try to figure out who does look approachable,

59
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.520
<v Speaker 3>because that's one of those times you don't want to

60
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.560
<v Speaker 3>intrude upon somebody unless they're completely open to it. And

61
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:27.039
<v Speaker 3>I had to put myself between a photographer once and

62
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.360
<v Speaker 3>some guy who just charged at us because he didn't

63
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:31.120
<v Speaker 3>want us there at all.

64
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:34.680
<v Speaker 2>It's a very difficult situation. I've never been in those situations.

65
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:38.879
<v Speaker 2>I've done reporting, but usually it's for entertainment. It was

66
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:43.080
<v Speaker 2>for sports, and it's a different animal altogether. And there

67
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.159
<v Speaker 2>are people who are the victims in a fire like this,

68
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.479
<v Speaker 2>and there are some people who are suffering due to

69
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:51.960
<v Speaker 2>collateral damage. I mean power has been cut to some

70
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 2>of the customers in the area just to the high

71
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 2>wind and fire dangers. You know, you're not even directly

72
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.639
<v Speaker 2>impacted by the fires, but you're still losing power, and

73
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.159
<v Speaker 2>so this is a problem which would go well into

74
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:07.879
<v Speaker 2>the week, possibly into the weekend. You said there was

75
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.520
<v Speaker 2>a wind advisory I think until tomorrow from four o'clock

76
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:14.520
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow at four o'clock tomorrow. So look, if you are

77
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.839
<v Speaker 2>in that area, obviously follow all evacuation orders. And Southern

78
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 2>California Edison had already shut power by seven am to

79
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:30.920
<v Speaker 2>fourteen thousand customers fourteen thousand customers across La County, Riverside County,

80
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.480
<v Speaker 2>San Bernardino County, and of course Ventura County, and that

81
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:38.319
<v Speaker 2>number is probably going to go up throughout the day,

82
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.560
<v Speaker 2>probably into tomorrow, as we continue to deal with the

83
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 2>Santa Ana wins, something we have to unfortunately deal with

84
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:51.519
<v Speaker 2>every single year. And when you were reporting, Mark, what

85
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:56.079
<v Speaker 2>capacity were you reporting, Well, I've done everything except sports,

86
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.319
<v Speaker 2>So I mean this would have been general assignment crime

87
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.600
<v Speaker 2>bee type of st where you head out to pretty

88
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.439
<v Speaker 2>much any awful thing that's going on. You know, I

89
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.879
<v Speaker 2>don't know how, especially the KFI reporters, because usually when

90
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.240
<v Speaker 2>we're doing fire coverage or earthquake coverage or some sort

91
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:16.639
<v Speaker 2>of disaster coverage, they have to watch this up close,

92
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:21.680
<v Speaker 2>somehow divorce themselves from the emotions of the moment and

93
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:26.319
<v Speaker 2>be clear in their reporting and information gathering to make

94
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.800
<v Speaker 2>sure that we have the most accurate story possible. But

95
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:34.079
<v Speaker 2>you're seeing a lot of lives impacted, sometimes irrevocably.

96
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:38.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're doing the work of getting people the information

97
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:41.000
<v Speaker 3>that they need, and it's not easy work. You really,

98
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.319
<v Speaker 3>you've got to be smart and sensitive at the same time.

99
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.480
<v Speaker 3>Like if your house is on fire and you're looking

100
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.480
<v Speaker 3>at potentially having no place to live, pretty much the

101
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:50.639
<v Speaker 3>last thing on earth you want is some dope coming

102
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:52.920
<v Speaker 3>up to you and saying, how do you feel about this?

103
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:55.759
<v Speaker 2>You know, and not only that the person hasn't even

104
00:05:55.879 --> 00:06:02.279
<v Speaker 2>fully processed it. You are watching presumably your life, all

105
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:07.959
<v Speaker 2>of your belongings, sentimental value, going up in flames, and

106
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.560
<v Speaker 2>you don't even know really where you're going to be

107
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.399
<v Speaker 2>that night. You're not even sure where you're going to

108
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 2>put your family. If it's the whole family. You don't

109
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.319
<v Speaker 2>even know what tomorrow was going to bring because you

110
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:20.600
<v Speaker 2>didn't know that you were going to be in this

111
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:22.560
<v Speaker 2>situation today.

112
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:23.839
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly right.

113
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.519
<v Speaker 3>And as a reporter, you have to show the same

114
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:31.560
<v Speaker 3>degree of understanding for somebody who lives in a trailer

115
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:33.680
<v Speaker 3>park that you would for somebody who lives in a

116
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:37.000
<v Speaker 3>million dollar home. They're all people's homes, and we often

117
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:37.879
<v Speaker 3>lose sight of that.

118
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:41.319
<v Speaker 2>We think that because someone is of a certain economic level,

119
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:45.040
<v Speaker 2>they won't have the same problems as someone who who

120
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:46.839
<v Speaker 2>is more economically disadvantaged.

121
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no.

122
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:52.000
<v Speaker 3>Money insulates you from many of life's problems, including especially

123
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:53.800
<v Speaker 3>having a place to stay, a roof over your head.

124
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but there's a sentimental value which cannot be replaced.

125
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.160
<v Speaker 2>And I remember, actually here's of sports tie in. I

126
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:06.560
<v Speaker 2>remember talking to Kareem Abdul Jabbar, and now this was

127
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:09.720
<v Speaker 2>years after his house had burned down, but he was

128
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.160
<v Speaker 2>talking about his music collection, all the things that you

129
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:16.519
<v Speaker 2>couldn't replace. He was less concerned about the trophies from

130
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:18.839
<v Speaker 2>high school, but he was more concerned about his music

131
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.920
<v Speaker 2>collection and the pictures of his parents who are no

132
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:22.600
<v Speaker 2>longer living.

133
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Things things like that that.

134
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Yet you may have had a career of excess, and

135
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.959
<v Speaker 2>you may have more money than most who are in

136
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:36.120
<v Speaker 2>your orbit, but those are moments where they forever changed.

137
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:38.959
<v Speaker 3>You, absolutely, and you've got pets to worry about, so

138
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.600
<v Speaker 3>many things that you just can't take for granted when

139
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.480
<v Speaker 3>you're asking people questions about what they're going through at

140
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:45.879
<v Speaker 3>the moment.

141
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.959
<v Speaker 2>So we're going to continue to follow the fires in

142
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Ventura County. We will have updates from the KFI twenty

143
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:55.639
<v Speaker 2>four hour newsroom over the course of the evening as

144
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.360
<v Speaker 2>we Wax and Wayne talking about things going on around

145
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.959
<v Speaker 2>in southern cal And also we have an update as

146
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.120
<v Speaker 2>far as a presidential election. Of course, you know by

147
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:09.680
<v Speaker 2>now that Donald Trump has formerly been declared the president's elect,

148
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.680
<v Speaker 2>the forty seventh president elect. And we'll also have some

149
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:17.920
<v Speaker 2>audio from President Vice President Kamala Harris. She did give

150
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:21.040
<v Speaker 2>her concession speech today. We'll play just a little bit

151
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:23.839
<v Speaker 2>of it. I thought it was enlightening in many ways

152
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:27.240
<v Speaker 2>and something that I personally believe she should have delivered

153
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:31.000
<v Speaker 2>last night, or some semblance of it. We'll get into

154
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:34.000
<v Speaker 2>that next just later with Moe Kelly KFI AM six

155
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.720
<v Speaker 2>forty we are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

156
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:40.879
<v Speaker 4>You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from

157
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.559
<v Speaker 4>KFI AM six forty last nine.

158
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm quite sure it was emotional for a lot of people,

159
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:52.519
<v Speaker 2>but surprisingly enough, when you looked at the viewership, the

160
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:58.639
<v Speaker 2>TV viewership, it wasn't as riveting, or people seemingly were

161
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:02.200
<v Speaker 2>not as interested. If you looked at the primetime coverage

162
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:06.000
<v Speaker 2>of the presidential election, it averaged forty two point twenty

163
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:11.240
<v Speaker 2>nine million viewers across eighteen cable and broadcast networks from

164
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:16.279
<v Speaker 2>seven to eleven pm Eastern or four to eight pm

165
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Our time. Now, that's down from four years ago, which

166
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:28.080
<v Speaker 2>drew fifty six point nine two million viewers, and it's

167
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:32.720
<v Speaker 2>the least watched election night since two thousand, when they

168
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:38.360
<v Speaker 2>first started this measurement. So, if anything, and this is

169
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:41.639
<v Speaker 2>just me spitballing here, I get the sense, if I

170
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:45.360
<v Speaker 2>were to read into those numbers, that is probably indicative

171
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:50.399
<v Speaker 2>of the collective exhaustion most people had with the presidential

172
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:55.279
<v Speaker 2>election cycle, which seemingly never ended, and it was forever,

173
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.000
<v Speaker 2>every single day it was something about the presidential elect

174
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.159
<v Speaker 2>across all those eighteen cable and broadcast networks, and so

175
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:08.279
<v Speaker 2>when we finally got to the finish line, people weren't

176
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:08.799
<v Speaker 2>tuning in.

177
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:11.639
<v Speaker 1>And if you look at.

178
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:15.600
<v Speaker 2>The total votes cast for both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris,

179
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:20.759
<v Speaker 2>both candidates received fewer votes this time around than in

180
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:26.639
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty. Kamala Harris was minus seventeen million, Donald Trump

181
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.080
<v Speaker 2>was minus three to four million. So neither party, let's

182
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:35.240
<v Speaker 2>just put it in a party context, neither party increased

183
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.720
<v Speaker 2>from twenty twenty. Neither party had the type of enthusiasm

184
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.240
<v Speaker 2>that they had in twenty twenty. So take that for

185
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:47.720
<v Speaker 2>whatever it's worth. And last night I was disappointed, just

186
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:53.480
<v Speaker 2>for any politician or elected official. If you have a

187
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:57.360
<v Speaker 2>watch party and you have literally thousands of people who

188
00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:00.440
<v Speaker 2>show up to support you, you gotta a You gotta

189
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:04.159
<v Speaker 2>address them. You have to, even if it's an if

190
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:07.000
<v Speaker 2>it's an incomplete address you don't know, say hey, we're

191
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:08.919
<v Speaker 2>still watching the numbers.

192
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:10.320
<v Speaker 1>We don't know where it's going to go.

193
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.120
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna wait till every vote is counted and then

194
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.519
<v Speaker 2>we'll see what happens. Then you know, when we fight,

195
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:18.960
<v Speaker 2>we went whatever it may be, you still acknowledge the

196
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:22.480
<v Speaker 2>people who brought you to that point. And I thought

197
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:25.799
<v Speaker 2>that Kamala Harris made a mistake in the sense of

198
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:32.000
<v Speaker 2>what I believe to be is good campaign practice and policies.

199
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:34.919
<v Speaker 2>But she did get around to her concession speech today,

200
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:36.600
<v Speaker 2>and I wanted to play a little bit of it

201
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:39.360
<v Speaker 2>because there's some things that I thought were interesting to

202
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:44.679
<v Speaker 2>me that she decided to focus on and decided to highlight.

203
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:48.480
<v Speaker 2>She gave it at the same location where she was yesterday,

204
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:51.399
<v Speaker 2>at Howard University. And for me, I know it well

205
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:53.679
<v Speaker 2>because like my whole family went to Howard University. So

206
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.399
<v Speaker 2>in my mind I can see it, and I know

207
00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:00.000
<v Speaker 2>what people who aren't there could see as far as

208
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:01.480
<v Speaker 2>how big that area is.

209
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Here's just a little bit.

210
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:08.120
<v Speaker 5>So let me say my heart is full today. My

211
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:13.120
<v Speaker 5>heart is full today, full of gratitude for the trust

212
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:18.799
<v Speaker 5>you have placed in me, full of love for our country,

213
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:24.200
<v Speaker 5>and full of resolve. The outcome of this election is

214
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:29.639
<v Speaker 5>not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not

215
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:34.759
<v Speaker 5>what we voted for. But hear me when I say,

216
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:40.320
<v Speaker 5>hear me when I say, the light of America's promise

217
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:51.840
<v Speaker 5>will always burn bright as long as we never give up,

218
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:54.000
<v Speaker 5>and as long as.

219
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:55.320
<v Speaker 1>We keep fighting.

220
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:05.320
<v Speaker 5>To my beloved Doug and our family I love you

221
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:13.200
<v Speaker 5>so very much. To President Biden and Doctor Biden, thank

222
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:14.840
<v Speaker 5>you for your faith and support.

223
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:19.360
<v Speaker 1>To Governor Walls.

224
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:21.840
<v Speaker 5>And the Walls family, I know your service to our

225
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:31.279
<v Speaker 5>nation will continue. And to my extraordinary team, to the

226
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:38.639
<v Speaker 5>volunteers who gave so much of themselves, to the poll

227
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:45.440
<v Speaker 5>workers and the local election officials, I thank you. I

228
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:47.000
<v Speaker 5>thank you all.

229
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:47.399
<v Speaker 2>Look.

230
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:50.759
<v Speaker 5>I am so proud of the race we ran and

231
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:54.759
<v Speaker 5>the way we ran it and the way we ran it.

232
00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:59.159
<v Speaker 5>Over the one hundred and seven days of this campaign,

233
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:06.480
<v Speaker 5>we have been intentional about building community and building coalitions,

234
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:12.240
<v Speaker 5>bringing people together from every walk of life and background,

235
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:19.320
<v Speaker 5>united by love of country, with enthusiasm and joy in

236
00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:27.399
<v Speaker 5>our fight for America's future. And we did it with

237
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:31.559
<v Speaker 5>the knowledge that we all have so much more in

238
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:37.480
<v Speaker 5>common than what separates us. Now. I know folks are

239
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:40.919
<v Speaker 5>feeling and experiencing a range of emotions right now.

240
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:42.279
<v Speaker 1>I get it.

241
00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:49.759
<v Speaker 5>But we must accept the results of this election. Earlier today,

242
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:53.559
<v Speaker 5>I spoke with President elect Trump and congratulated him on

243
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:58.440
<v Speaker 5>his victory. I also told him that we will help

244
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:02.120
<v Speaker 5>him and his team with their transition and that we

245
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:05.360
<v Speaker 5>will engage in a peaceful transfer of power.

246
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:13.879
<v Speaker 1>Dignified response dignified. That's what you're supposed to do. It's

247
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.159
<v Speaker 1>not anything special. That's what you're supposed to do. You're

248
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:16.679
<v Speaker 1>supposed to.

249
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Concede, call the other side, congratulate them, and if you

250
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:23.879
<v Speaker 2>are a part of the city administration, then you pledge

251
00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:25.360
<v Speaker 2>to help them in that transition.

252
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:29.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, let's just chalk as they say, that's standard.

253
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.519
<v Speaker 5>A fundamental principle of American democracy is that when we

254
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:40.639
<v Speaker 5>lose an election, we accept the results. That principle, as

255
00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:46.559
<v Speaker 5>much as any other, distinguishes democracy from monarchy or tyranny,

256
00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:51.799
<v Speaker 5>and anyone who seeks the public trust must honor it.

257
00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:59.360
<v Speaker 5>At the same time, in our nation, we owe loyalty

258
00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:03.519
<v Speaker 5>not to a president or a party, but to the

259
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:05.679
<v Speaker 5>Constitution of the United States.

260
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Now, if you are a Kamala Harris supporter, you may

261
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:13.240
<v Speaker 2>ask a question, well, what's next for her?

262
00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:14.799
<v Speaker 1>Historically?

263
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:18.600
<v Speaker 2>And I know when I say historically, we're an unprecedented time.

264
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.240
<v Speaker 2>So history usually doesn't matter when you're talking about present

265
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:28.440
<v Speaker 2>day politics. But historically, when you lose an election on

266
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump aside, because you can't use the history to

267
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:34.320
<v Speaker 2>talk about Donald Trump, but historically, when you lose a

268
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:38.559
<v Speaker 2>presidential election, that's usually the end of your political career.

269
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:41.279
<v Speaker 2>Usually you go on and do something else. You may

270
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:44.960
<v Speaker 2>move into the private sector, you may go on the

271
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.960
<v Speaker 2>lecture circuit, but you usually move on from politics because

272
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:51.960
<v Speaker 2>there's really nowhere else for you to go. Kamala Harris,

273
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:56.279
<v Speaker 2>she could possibly be in the future, maybe someone's attorney

274
00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:59.639
<v Speaker 2>general candidate or something, if there were a Democratic president

275
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.600
<v Speaker 2>down the road, But as far as her political future,

276
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:06.160
<v Speaker 2>this is probably it because there's nowhere else for her

277
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:08.960
<v Speaker 2>to go, unless she were to take a step back

278
00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:11.799
<v Speaker 2>and run for governor or something like that. But this

279
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:15.599
<v Speaker 2>is probably the end for her because that's just the

280
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:17.960
<v Speaker 2>way it usually is, especially when you're a vice president.

281
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:19.319
<v Speaker 1>You can look at.

282
00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:22.519
<v Speaker 2>Paul Ryan when he was a part of that ticket,

283
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:26.319
<v Speaker 2>that was pretty much the end of his political career. Obviously,

284
00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Dan Quail that was the end of his career. Al

285
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Gore that was the end of his career. Now you

286
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:35.039
<v Speaker 2>had George H. W. Bush who managed to become president.

287
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:37.839
<v Speaker 2>He was like the only one to move from vice

288
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:41.720
<v Speaker 2>president to president, from administration to administration in the past

289
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:44.119
<v Speaker 2>maybe one hundred and forty years or so. So it's

290
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.200
<v Speaker 2>rare that it does happen, but usually when it doesn't happen.

291
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:51.440
<v Speaker 2>That's the end. When you run for president and you lose,

292
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:54.440
<v Speaker 2>you're pretty much done. John Kerrey didn't do anything after that.

293
00:17:55.200 --> 00:18:00.160
<v Speaker 2>Michael Ducaccus didn't do anything after that. John McCain went

294
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:02.559
<v Speaker 2>back to the Senate, but didn't do anything after that.

295
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:05.359
<v Speaker 2>And that's what usually happens. This is probably the end

296
00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:08.480
<v Speaker 2>of her political career, and that's just the way it goes,

297
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:11.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, That's just where it goes. And the Democrats

298
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:13.839
<v Speaker 2>will have to regroup and look at themselves and see

299
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:16.079
<v Speaker 2>what they did wrong or see what they can improve upon,

300
00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:19.400
<v Speaker 2>because for the next at least two years, can't say

301
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:24.039
<v Speaker 2>four years, next two years, they're going to be subject

302
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:26.480
<v Speaker 2>to the whims of the Republican Party because they probably

303
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:30.119
<v Speaker 2>won't be able to take over the House. I'm just

304
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:32.680
<v Speaker 2>looking at the numbers and the tea leaves. The math

305
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:35.079
<v Speaker 2>is not looking good for them at this moment. But

306
00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:37.359
<v Speaker 2>still they have a lot of racists have to finish

307
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:40.400
<v Speaker 2>counting and deciding. So it looks more like this it's

308
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:44.400
<v Speaker 2>going to be a Republican House, Republican Senate, Republican Oval Office,

309
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:47.599
<v Speaker 2>and a Republican or i should say, conservative Supreme Court.

310
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:50.079
<v Speaker 2>So there's not much the Democrats can do in the

311
00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:53.200
<v Speaker 2>near term except try to change something in twenty twenty

312
00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:54.559
<v Speaker 2>six in the midterms.

313
00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:58.480
<v Speaker 4>You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from

314
00:18:58.559 --> 00:18:59.880
<v Speaker 4>KFI Am six four.

315
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:02.920
<v Speaker 1>If you've ever been shopping, We've all been shopping, but some.

316
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:06.079
<v Speaker 2>Of us are a little bit more I would say

317
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:10.839
<v Speaker 2>sensitive to sales. It could be I don't know, Amazon

318
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Prime Day, could be Black Friday. You think there's a sale,

319
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:17.519
<v Speaker 2>everything's going to be deep discount. I need to go

320
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:20.519
<v Speaker 2>buy something, something that I don't even need, something I

321
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:23.559
<v Speaker 2>may not even be able to afford, but it's marked

322
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:25.319
<v Speaker 2>down seventy percent.

323
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:29.440
<v Speaker 1>I can't pass up the deal. Have you ever been there?

324
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.119
<v Speaker 2>That's not usually me, but I can say, if I'm honest,

325
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:34.240
<v Speaker 2>it's gotten me.

326
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it's like, oh, this computer is seventy percent off.

327
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:40.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't need a computer, but when might I have

328
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:44.119
<v Speaker 2>another opportunity to buy a computer for seventy percent off?

329
00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:46.680
<v Speaker 2>And then you get it and you realize, you know,

330
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:49.440
<v Speaker 2>I really didn't need to spend this four or five

331
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:53.160
<v Speaker 2>hundred dollars on this computer that I didn't need with

332
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:56.480
<v Speaker 2>money I really didn't have, just because it was marked

333
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:01.160
<v Speaker 2>out That is what I felt the moment that I

334
00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:05.240
<v Speaker 2>saw that I read that the La County Board of

335
00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:11.279
<v Speaker 2>Supervisors has approved the purchase of the Gas Company Tower.

336
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:12.960
<v Speaker 1>You know about it.

337
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:17.640
<v Speaker 2>It's downtown, it's just sitting there, it's vacant. It was

338
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:22.000
<v Speaker 2>appraised at a value of six hundred and thirty two

339
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.559
<v Speaker 2>million dollars back in twenty twenty during the pandemic. Six

340
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.720
<v Speaker 2>hundred and thirty two million dollars. They're going to buy

341
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:35.079
<v Speaker 2>it for two hundred million dollars, which is less than

342
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:36.319
<v Speaker 2>one third of the price.

343
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Is it a great deal. Yes, it's a great deal.

344
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:44.000
<v Speaker 2>I just didn't know, and maybe I'm just late to

345
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:46.599
<v Speaker 2>the party, but I didn't know that the La County

346
00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:50.559
<v Speaker 2>Board of Supervisors was in the real estate business of

347
00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:52.880
<v Speaker 2>buying skyscrapers.

348
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Never in my life.

349
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:56.920
<v Speaker 2>If I heard about the La County Board of Supervisors

350
00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:02.799
<v Speaker 2>and it's not unanimous, it's not animus. In fact, Jennison said,

351
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:06.680
<v Speaker 2>hell no, and that's a quote, and that's where I

352
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:07.359
<v Speaker 2>come out on this.

353
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:09.839
<v Speaker 1>Hell no, I don't know.

354
00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:11.880
<v Speaker 2>If they're going to buy the building and turn it

355
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:14.839
<v Speaker 2>into homeless housing. I don't know if they're gonna buy

356
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:19.319
<v Speaker 2>the skyscraper and turn it into a museum and maybe

357
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:22.799
<v Speaker 2>they'll put a I don't know, a rooftop club. You

358
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:24.559
<v Speaker 2>can go there in the summer. I don't know if

359
00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:29.519
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna turn it into a concert venue. I don't

360
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:32.359
<v Speaker 2>know what they're gonna do with it. Mark, I know

361
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:34.680
<v Speaker 2>you had the story what they're gonna put like the

362
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:37.079
<v Speaker 2>La County Board of Supervisor's main offices.

363
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:38.759
<v Speaker 1>There are some stupid stuff like that.

364
00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:41.000
<v Speaker 3>I think I have that coming up, and I am

365
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:43.279
<v Speaker 3>not one hundred percent school done it yet, so I

366
00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:43.920
<v Speaker 3>will defer to you.

367
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Moh, that's okay.

368
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:48.759
<v Speaker 2>But the disapproval, I mean it's been approved.

369
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Four to one. Four to one.

370
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:55.400
<v Speaker 2>They gave county officials the final green light to move

371
00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:58.640
<v Speaker 2>ahead with buying the tower for two hundred million dollars.

372
00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:01.839
<v Speaker 2>And if you have two hundred million dollars laying around

373
00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:04.880
<v Speaker 2>that you're just not using because this is an impulse buy.

374
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:08.079
<v Speaker 3>You never know when you're gonna need something to tag. Well,

375
00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:11.440
<v Speaker 3>they're already tagging it. Oh okay, I mean it's legendary

376
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:12.559
<v Speaker 3>for it being tagged.

377
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:14.920
<v Speaker 1>All right. If you've seen the building they've had, they've done.

378
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:17.599
<v Speaker 2>Stories on this, this building being tagged.

379
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, don't get me wrong. It's a nice building. Well,

380
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:23.759
<v Speaker 1>who doesn't love art, it's two hundred million.

381
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:26.400
<v Speaker 2>In other words, it wasn't like the La County Board

382
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:28.279
<v Speaker 2>of Supervisors. To the best of my knowledge, they're free

383
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:32.079
<v Speaker 2>to correct me. It wasn't like they were already in

384
00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:36.559
<v Speaker 2>the market for a skyscraper. It'd be different like, for example,

385
00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:38.880
<v Speaker 2>twall and nine, we were in the market for a car.

386
00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:43.359
<v Speaker 2>So if we were to see a heavily discounted car

387
00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:49.279
<v Speaker 2>which met our needs, that's one thing. But for example,

388
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:53.200
<v Speaker 2>if we were not in the market for a house,

389
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:58.559
<v Speaker 2>and we come across a house which is seventy percent off,

390
00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:01.839
<v Speaker 2>too good to pass up, and let's say it's listing

391
00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:04.920
<v Speaker 2>at seven hundred thousand dollars when usually it's two point

392
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:11.519
<v Speaker 2>one million, that's probably an ill advised purchase. Now, if

393
00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:14.119
<v Speaker 2>you happen to be a real estate developer, if you

394
00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:16.559
<v Speaker 2>happen to be a house slipper, and it's something that

395
00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:19.200
<v Speaker 2>you normally do, then you are to go ahead and

396
00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:21.279
<v Speaker 2>do that because that's what you do. You can turn

397
00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:26.079
<v Speaker 2>it into a monetary opportunity, but it's within your sphere.

398
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Of what you do.

399
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:31.880
<v Speaker 2>But the Eli County Board of Supervisors, last I checked

400
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:34.960
<v Speaker 2>they're not in the business.

401
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Of real estate. I don't know. What do you mean

402
00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:39.839
<v Speaker 1>you don't know?

403
00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:42.319
<v Speaker 6>I don't know, because if you look back, I think

404
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:48.440
<v Speaker 6>this was in June where they purchased that high rise tenement.

405
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.119
<v Speaker 6>It was some two hundred and thirty or two hundred

406
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:56.960
<v Speaker 6>and seventy something units for Google gobs of money for

407
00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:00.279
<v Speaker 6>the purpose of housing the homeless or bad This was

408
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:02.960
<v Speaker 6>behind it, the board of supervisors behind it.

409
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:06.640
<v Speaker 1>They I remember that. Sorry to cut you off.

410
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:09.759
<v Speaker 2>What I'm saying, that was for the La County in

411
00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:14.880
<v Speaker 2>the business of La County, right, So they're just expanding, MO,

412
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:18.160
<v Speaker 2>They're expanding their real estate profile.

413
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:19.839
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm saying. This is expanding.

414
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh I have yet to see anyone say, oh, yeah,

415
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:23.319
<v Speaker 2>this is going to be for the homeless.

416
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:25.960
<v Speaker 6>Well, well, if they look, if they set up their

417
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:32.160
<v Speaker 6>headquarters there, why not dedicate several floors to the un housed.

418
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:34.559
<v Speaker 6>They need the space. They keep talking about, we don't

419
00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:35.839
<v Speaker 6>have the space by this building.

420
00:24:35.880 --> 00:24:39.160
<v Speaker 2>You got the rooms. Okay, here we go. This is

421
00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:42.480
<v Speaker 2>what Supervisor Janis Hahn had to say. None of it,

422
00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:45.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm quoting quote. None of you here are going to

423
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:51.079
<v Speaker 2>convince me that this is a good idea. Hell no,

424
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:54.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm not too far off on this one. I'm on

425
00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:57.480
<v Speaker 2>the hell no side. What if they named the building

426
00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:01.200
<v Speaker 2>after you, the Moe Kelly Building. See look at him

427
00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:02.279
<v Speaker 2>right down, look at it about it?

428
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:04.839
<v Speaker 6>See you're a radiolan. Can't see his face, it's all

429
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:05.920
<v Speaker 6>of a sudden his eyebrows.

430
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:06.359
<v Speaker 5>Enough.

431
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:08.559
<v Speaker 1>Well, since you bring that, I won't rule it out

432
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:08.960
<v Speaker 1>of hand.

433
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, but but I but I will say this

434
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:16.319
<v Speaker 2>to be absolutely serious. It's not that it's seventy percent

435
00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:19.400
<v Speaker 2>off or whatever. It's just that it's a two hundred

436
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:23.759
<v Speaker 2>million dollar purchase. And it doesn't seem like there was

437
00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:29.000
<v Speaker 2>a clear plaid in place before the purchase was approved. Yes,

438
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:31.920
<v Speaker 2>they're going to be moving over county employees. Yes, this

439
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:34.400
<v Speaker 2>is going to be like the new headquarters and everything.

440
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:37.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm not exactly sure. And I and according to a

441
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:41.440
<v Speaker 2>last Jennis Han, there hasn't been evidence given that this

442
00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:48.559
<v Speaker 2>is necessary. This is an impulse purchase, largely because it's

443
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:51.640
<v Speaker 2>seventy percent off. Oh my gosh, the building is seventy

444
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:55.240
<v Speaker 2>percent off and it's not even Black Friday in November.

445
00:25:55.359 --> 00:25:57.440
<v Speaker 1>I gotta have it. I just gotta have it.

446
00:25:57.759 --> 00:26:00.119
<v Speaker 3>Well, Rule number one of American shopping mo is that

447
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.079
<v Speaker 3>you got to spend money to save money. And sub

448
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:05.599
<v Speaker 3>section one A of that is there's no such thing

449
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:06.279
<v Speaker 3>as enough ever.

450
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:11.279
<v Speaker 2>But but but talk about how what a great deal

451
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:13.920
<v Speaker 2>this is the cost of the building is going to

452
00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:16.960
<v Speaker 2>be two hundred billion, but officials have estimated it will

453
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:22.640
<v Speaker 2>cost hundreds of millions to upgrade either this building or

454
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:27.400
<v Speaker 2>their old buildings to make it a worthy alternative.

455
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:28.680
<v Speaker 1>So it's not going to be.

456
00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Just the cost of the building, because it's not even

457
00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:34.559
<v Speaker 2>fitish yet. There's plenty more that they have to sink

458
00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:38.440
<v Speaker 2>into this building. It's not like it's real estate term.

459
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:41.279
<v Speaker 2>It's not turnkey. It's not like you can just you know,

460
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:41.960
<v Speaker 2>PLoP down.

461
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:44.880
<v Speaker 1>The money and move in tomorrow. It's moving ready. No,

462
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:48.160
<v Speaker 1>it isn't a fixer upper. It's a two hundred million

463
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:52.640
<v Speaker 1>dollars fixer upper. I mean, come on, what is what?

464
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:54.839
<v Speaker 1>What is two hundred million for the county? What is

465
00:26:54.839 --> 00:26:56.160
<v Speaker 1>wrong with this count Hey?

466
00:26:56.200 --> 00:27:04.519
<v Speaker 7>Two hundred million dollars two one hundred billion dollars largely

467
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:09.720
<v Speaker 7>business offices just for the It doesn't do anything.

468
00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:12.480
<v Speaker 6>You don't see the future. This could be converted. This

469
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:17.279
<v Speaker 6>can be converted low income housing, housing for the individuals

470
00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:19.680
<v Speaker 6>who work for the county. All types of things can

471
00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:21.160
<v Speaker 6>go at on a wee building.

472
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Wait, it's worse.

473
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:26.000
<v Speaker 2>No supervisors have toured the building themself.

474
00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:28.519
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, okay, okay, they.

475
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:30.400
<v Speaker 3>Get some respect when they're talking about.

476
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:33.559
<v Speaker 1>On the internet. They haven't seen it at first. That's

477
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:39.599
<v Speaker 1>the new way. No, no virtual tours. You buy the

478
00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:43.319
<v Speaker 1>house that you've never did walk or they have a

479
00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:49.240
<v Speaker 1>slide show online they do for a building they have

480
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:53.640
<v Speaker 1>even walking with it.

481
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:56.359
<v Speaker 6>Okay, someone from the county, I know, I know, you

482
00:27:56.359 --> 00:27:59.440
<v Speaker 6>don't want to take this ridicule lying down. Please please,

483
00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:01.119
<v Speaker 6>You've got to come on the show so you can

484
00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:03.680
<v Speaker 6>explain yourselves. You've got to come on so you can

485
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:04.440
<v Speaker 6>explain yourself.

486
00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:09.359
<v Speaker 2>They were swayed by the sales pitch of this opportunity

487
00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:10.640
<v Speaker 2>will not last forever.

488
00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:15.319
<v Speaker 1>You're acting like they bought a can of bean a

489
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:16.680
<v Speaker 1>magic beans.

490
00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:19.880
<v Speaker 3>Two hundred million dollars for a building they haven't even walked.

491
00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:24.160
<v Speaker 1>We deserve everything we get if I.

492
00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:34.720
<v Speaker 7>Und a billion dollars mark.

493
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:38.079
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's a hell of a way to talk

494
00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:38.799
<v Speaker 1>about the future.

495
00:28:39.079 --> 00:28:43.200
<v Speaker 3>Moe Kelly School of Broadcast Excellence and the Homeless.

496
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:49.039
<v Speaker 4>Okay, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand

497
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:51.119
<v Speaker 4>from KFI AM six forty.

498
00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:54.279
<v Speaker 2>We were real over last segment, and I'd blame to

499
00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:57.039
<v Speaker 2>Walla Sharp because he was wasting time trying to defend

500
00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Ellie County Board of Supervisors with that dumb ass move

501
00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:04.200
<v Speaker 2>to buy a two hundred million dollar building just because

502
00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:06.799
<v Speaker 2>it was marked down from six hundred and thirty two million.

503
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Didn't even need a building. But you know, we're gonna

504
00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:11.599
<v Speaker 2>let that go. I'm not gonna bring up old stuff.

505
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:13.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna, you know, like hold on to it

506
00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:18.119
<v Speaker 2>like a grudge or anything. My wife says I do

507
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:22.200
<v Speaker 2>that too much, so I'm trying to be better. You know,

508
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:25.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't like to fly, and I really don't like

509
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:29.640
<v Speaker 2>to fly since the pandemic, because before the pandemic, I

510
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:32.599
<v Speaker 2>was worried about ending up in the side of a mountain. Okay,

511
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:35.960
<v Speaker 2>you know that was just the flying aspect of it.

512
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:38.519
<v Speaker 2>And Rob and I appreciate you working the boards and

513
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:39.960
<v Speaker 2>I just don't laugh at me. Okay, I see you

514
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:43.559
<v Speaker 2>laughing at my fear of flying. I got bees and flying,

515
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:49.200
<v Speaker 2>all right. I'm an imperfect, complicated dude. But since the pandemic,

516
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:52.519
<v Speaker 2>the way people have been acting up on planes left

517
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:53.039
<v Speaker 2>and right.

518
00:29:53.319 --> 00:29:55.440
<v Speaker 1>It's a whole different ball game.

519
00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:58.519
<v Speaker 2>I gotta worry about the airplane and the people on

520
00:29:58.559 --> 00:30:03.480
<v Speaker 2>the airplane, just random people who will decide, well, they'll

521
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:05.799
<v Speaker 2>get a wild hair up their ass and walk down

522
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:08.480
<v Speaker 2>the aisle and decide to open an emergency exit, or

523
00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:09.119
<v Speaker 2>at least.

524
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Try that happened with me once.

525
00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:15.519
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let meat stand down on my story so you

526
00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:18.720
<v Speaker 2>can tell since you have first tam experience with it.

527
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:21.119
<v Speaker 3>There's not much to tell except I needed a change

528
00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:24.359
<v Speaker 3>of pants. Promptly he was stopped, and they don't the door.

529
00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:27.359
<v Speaker 3>The doors don't just open. I know this, the pressure,

530
00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:30.759
<v Speaker 3>but still, but I didn't spot it till the guy

531
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:33.759
<v Speaker 3>was in the process of doing it and he was

532
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:34.759
<v Speaker 3>promptly stopped.

533
00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:39.240
<v Speaker 1>But it'll get your attention, Yes it will, Yes, it will.

534
00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:42.440
<v Speaker 2>And if you are probably like Mark Ronner, let's say

535
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:46.599
<v Speaker 2>you're fifteen sixteen rows back, you are subject to the

536
00:30:46.599 --> 00:30:48.880
<v Speaker 2>whims of everything which is going on in the front

537
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:51.319
<v Speaker 2>of the plane, and you have no control of no say,

538
00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:54.960
<v Speaker 2>you're just there. You're a passenger, You're an observer. You know,

539
00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:58.720
<v Speaker 2>you're just a bystander. You grow up reading superhero comics.

540
00:30:58.759 --> 00:31:02.240
<v Speaker 2>You think you're gonna do something, everything you don't realize.

541
00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Everything in life tends to happen kind of fast, really fast,

542
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:09.160
<v Speaker 2>and you may not even realize it's happening until it's

543
00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:14.359
<v Speaker 2>already happened. Exactly In this story, an unruly passenger was

544
00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:19.039
<v Speaker 2>beaten to a pulp after attempting to open an emergency

545
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:21.440
<v Speaker 2>door on a flight from Brazil to Panama. They even

546
00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:26.200
<v Speaker 2>have some video of it. Quote, a flight attendant started screaming.

547
00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:30.359
<v Speaker 2>Let me stop right there. When a flight attendant loses

548
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:33.920
<v Speaker 2>her is ish or his ish either or you know

549
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:37.839
<v Speaker 2>that you're in trouble, because usually they are the marker

550
00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:40.839
<v Speaker 2>as to whether you're in danger or not. When you

551
00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:42.279
<v Speaker 2>have a lot of turbulence, what do you do? You

552
00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:44.640
<v Speaker 2>look at the flight attendant to see if they're sweating,

553
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.200
<v Speaker 2>to see if they are uncomfortable, if they are worried.

554
00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Because if they're worried, then it's time for you to

555
00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:53.599
<v Speaker 2>be worried, because they can no longer hide their fear.

556
00:31:54.559 --> 00:32:01.680
<v Speaker 1>So imagine a flight attendant screaming, screaming. All hell breaks

557
00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:03.200
<v Speaker 1>loose after that. But let me get back to this.

558
00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:06.880
<v Speaker 2>A flight attendant started screaming and another try to hold

559
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:11.720
<v Speaker 2>him back, but couldn't because he was too strong. The

560
00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:16.839
<v Speaker 2>fight broke out Tuesday yesterday aboard a Copa Airlines flight

561
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:21.920
<v Speaker 2>from Brazil to Panama City, and they show photos of

562
00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:23.319
<v Speaker 2>it there. At least there are a lot of young

563
00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:25.240
<v Speaker 2>dudes on the flight because they had like seven or

564
00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:28.160
<v Speaker 2>eight dudes beat the crap out of this guy. They

565
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:30.920
<v Speaker 2>beat him something awful, and I'm okay with that. I'm

566
00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:34.680
<v Speaker 2>not against violence, especially when it comes to saving my life.

567
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:37.319
<v Speaker 2>If you need violence to take out someone who's getting

568
00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:39.480
<v Speaker 2>ready to take out all of us, by all means,

569
00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:41.400
<v Speaker 2>proceed the flight.

570
00:32:41.480 --> 00:32:43.240
<v Speaker 1>And this was relatively.

571
00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:47.079
<v Speaker 2>Late in the flight, so it's not like something he

572
00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:48.359
<v Speaker 2>decided to do early on.

573
00:32:48.680 --> 00:32:50.359
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about thirty minutes before.

574
00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Landing, so it seems to me they probably were already

575
00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:57.119
<v Speaker 2>in the midst of their descent. And going back to

576
00:32:57.279 --> 00:33:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Mark's story, if they were in there descent, they might

577
00:33:01.720 --> 00:33:05.039
<v Speaker 2>have been might have been at a at an altitude

578
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:08.480
<v Speaker 2>where pressure was such he might have been able to

579
00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:10.920
<v Speaker 2>get the door open. I'm not like a you know,

580
00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:16.400
<v Speaker 2>an aerodynamics expert or you know, I have you know,

581
00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:18.680
<v Speaker 2>and I've seen people jump out of planes in many

582
00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:21.039
<v Speaker 2>movies so I know little something about this, but I've

583
00:33:21.079 --> 00:33:25.039
<v Speaker 2>never you know, so I can only guesstimate that that

584
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:27.440
<v Speaker 2>was part of the calculation. Since the flight was in

585
00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:30.880
<v Speaker 2>its descent thirty minutes or so before landing, that they

586
00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:32.799
<v Speaker 2>may have been in an altitude where he could have

587
00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:37.400
<v Speaker 2>forced the door open. The said flyer rushed to the

588
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:39.960
<v Speaker 2>back of the plane with a plastic knife from his

589
00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:45.000
<v Speaker 2>food tray and attempted to take a flight attendant hostage

590
00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:48.880
<v Speaker 2>with the goal of opening the plane door. Now me,

591
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:55.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm probably eyes closed, relaxing, hopefully snoring the last portion

592
00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:58.400
<v Speaker 2>of the flight because I don't like takeoffs, I don't

593
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:02.480
<v Speaker 2>like landings. Me out and when we're getting ready to land,

594
00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:04.359
<v Speaker 2>I need to have both my feet flat on the

595
00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:07.559
<v Speaker 2>floor and I'm getting ready to brace for that impact.

596
00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:12.199
<v Speaker 2>I've never had a really bad instance, but I did

597
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:14.880
<v Speaker 2>have a time landing at Burbank Airport. Have you ever

598
00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:19.239
<v Speaker 2>landed at Burbank? Mark many times short runway, real short runway,

599
00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:21.280
<v Speaker 2>and there are times where they've had planes skit.

600
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:24.719
<v Speaker 1>Off into the street. Oh god, oh true story. This.

601
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:29.480
<v Speaker 2>On my flight, I could tell that the pilot lost

602
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:34.480
<v Speaker 2>control after landing, and so we were wildly swaying and

603
00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:37.760
<v Speaker 2>the wings were tipping almost scraped the ground. And this

604
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:40.159
<v Speaker 2>was a burbank, so it's a short runway, and so

605
00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:41.800
<v Speaker 2>we didn't have a lot of time before we'd end

606
00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:42.800
<v Speaker 2>up on Hollywood Way.

607
00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:45.719
<v Speaker 1>Somehow, someway, he managed to stop. Thank you Jesus.

608
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:48.639
<v Speaker 3>If there's a round of applause in the cabin after

609
00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:52.440
<v Speaker 3>that land no, you know, there there there was we all.

610
00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:55.039
<v Speaker 2>It's almost like it was this eerie silence because like,

611
00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:59.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, we almost bought it, right, yeah, And the

612
00:34:59.239 --> 00:35:05.880
<v Speaker 2>flight attendant on fight was saying, like, long pause, thank

613
00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:07.079
<v Speaker 2>you for flying American.

614
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:09.480
<v Speaker 1>They're like there's nothing she could say because we were

615
00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:10.480
<v Speaker 1>all thinking the same thing.

616
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:15.280
<v Speaker 2>We barely escaped death, and so they anyhow. But my

617
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:18.639
<v Speaker 2>point is with this story, the passengers realized that the

618
00:35:18.639 --> 00:35:20.519
<v Speaker 2>flight attendant was being taken hostage.

619
00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:22.880
<v Speaker 1>So they got together. It might have been like a

620
00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:24.360
<v Speaker 1>soccer team or something.

621
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:26.199
<v Speaker 2>They all seemed like the same age, and they got

622
00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:28.440
<v Speaker 2>up and they collectively beat the crap out of this guy.

623
00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:31.639
<v Speaker 2>The pictures of them, he's bloody, there's blood everywhere, and

624
00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:32.639
<v Speaker 2>it's like strong shake.

625
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:35.199
<v Speaker 1>That's what I would want. That's too bad that he

626
00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:36.119
<v Speaker 1>got injured.

627
00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:39.039
<v Speaker 2>Geez well, look, look, if they would have killed him,

628
00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't have been angry. Oh yeah, right, that's looks.

629
00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:42.800
<v Speaker 2>If you're trying to open the door, that's attempted murder.

630
00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:47.559
<v Speaker 2>It is, so go ahead and handle it, street justice.

631
00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:50.320
<v Speaker 2>That's why I don't like flying, because there are just

632
00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:52.800
<v Speaker 2>too many idiots out there now, especially since the pandemic.

633
00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:57.519
<v Speaker 2>Folks forgot how to act on a plane. Since the pandemic.

634
00:35:57.760 --> 00:36:00.599
<v Speaker 3>They should hand out a sock with are a soap

635
00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:03.320
<v Speaker 3>in it to all the passengers as you're boarding, so.

636
00:36:03.199 --> 00:36:06.039
<v Speaker 1>They give out a code red like your full metal jacket.

637
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:12.119
<v Speaker 1>You need a code red. Sometimes you're damn right? Did

638
00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:14.559
<v Speaker 1>you offer? Did you order the cord red?

639
00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:20.320
<v Speaker 3>I want answers, I want the true you can't handle it?

640
00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Did you order the call?

641
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:25.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm losing my voice. My voice is just gone. After
