00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from

2
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>KFI AM six forty.

3
00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:09.359
<v Speaker 2>It's mister mo Kelly. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

4
00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Could you imagine going to see Olympic events in River Tucky.

5
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 2>It is possible, not probable, but possible. There's a two

6
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:24.399
<v Speaker 2>hundred million dollar proposal which would transform, you know, the

7
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:27.879
<v Speaker 2>Riverside Golf Club. It's been abandoned since like maybe two

8
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.920
<v Speaker 2>thousand and nine. They would transform the Riverside Golf Club

9
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:37.159
<v Speaker 2>and Riverside into like an adventure center. They're talking about

10
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:40.920
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and twenty six acre sports complex and it

11
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:45.759
<v Speaker 2>would feature kayaking, surfing, climbing areas and more. And we

12
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.960
<v Speaker 2>know that the Olympics are coming to LA in twenty

13
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:53.759
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight and Riverside. If they can get this project

14
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.679
<v Speaker 2>off the ground, and they're saying it would be privately funded.

15
00:00:57.399 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 2>People would not have to pay out of their taxes,

16
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:02.520
<v Speaker 2>would not be paying for it in the sense of

17
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:06.159
<v Speaker 2>public funds. If they could get it done by twenty

18
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:10.560
<v Speaker 2>twenty seven, June twenty twenty seven, that's the cutoff, then

19
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:15.400
<v Speaker 2>it would be eligible to host events in twenty twenty eight.

20
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:17.640
<v Speaker 3>Here's some of the story five point thirty. I share

21
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 3>Calvin and I'm Micah Olman.

22
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.239
<v Speaker 4>If approved, the general old golf course in Riverside will

23
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:27.920
<v Speaker 4>transform into the Riverside Adventure Center, featuring kayaking, surfing, climbing areas,

24
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:32.799
<v Speaker 4>zip lines, and more. The complex would also have stores, restaurants,

25
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:34.439
<v Speaker 4>and apartments across the street.

26
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.040
<v Speaker 5>Ka Tail's Shelby Nelson joins us live in Riverside with

27
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:39.200
<v Speaker 5>more Shelby.

28
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:41.680
<v Speaker 3>Hey, Sharon, Michael.

29
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:43.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it sounds really exciting. But keep in mind is

30
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.879
<v Speaker 5>these are the really early stages of this proposed project,

31
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 5>and if all goes to plan, the developer is hoping

32
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:54.719
<v Speaker 5>that this newly proposed location could host some of the

33
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.799
<v Speaker 5>competitions for the twenty twenty eight Olympics.

34
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 2>Two years a little more than two there's time to

35
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:04.400
<v Speaker 2>do it. I don't know if it can be organized

36
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.920
<v Speaker 2>and created in that two and a half years, but

37
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:10.199
<v Speaker 2>it's a very small window. But I actually would like

38
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:13.360
<v Speaker 2>to see that just for the city and area of

39
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:17.159
<v Speaker 2>Riverside in an empire, because it needs it, and it

40
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.400
<v Speaker 2>would be a great draw for people to come out there,

41
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 2>bring their families, have all sorts of fun. It would

42
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 2>be a quasi amusement park, but I don't know if

43
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:29.039
<v Speaker 2>you've ever been kayaking.

44
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:30.599
<v Speaker 3>I have. It's great fun.

45
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how much of an audience there would

46
00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.800
<v Speaker 2>be for it for the many months of the year,

47
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.080
<v Speaker 2>but it's something that I think there would be an

48
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:41.280
<v Speaker 2>audience for on some level. I mean, there are also

49
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:46.360
<v Speaker 2>plans for biking trails, picnic areas, new grocery store and housing.

50
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.120
<v Speaker 2>It's something that could really revitalize the area more than anything.

51
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.879
<v Speaker 2>And I always care about Riverside, calling it River Tucky,

52
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:56.919
<v Speaker 2>and I say that very fondly because it's nactually a

53
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.280
<v Speaker 2>very nice area as well as San Bernardino in the

54
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:04.439
<v Speaker 2>Inland Empire. There's just not a lot to do out there.

55
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:06.560
<v Speaker 2>When I went out there, I was hanging out with

56
00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:10.520
<v Speaker 2>friends at UC Riverside or cal State Sand Bernardino, but

57
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:14.560
<v Speaker 2>there's not a lot as far as tourism goes. This

58
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:18.439
<v Speaker 2>would go a very long way to change that. And

59
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm just not one of those outdoorsy type people. I

60
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 2>doubt Mark is. I know Tawala is not. I don't

61
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:28.240
<v Speaker 2>think Stefan is, but he's not here tonight. That doesn't

62
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:32.960
<v Speaker 2>appeal to me per se, But this is California. There's

63
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.439
<v Speaker 2>got to be, you know, something something like that that

64
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 2>would be appealing for most Californians.

65
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:40.560
<v Speaker 3>Kayaking is a good workout, believe it or not.

66
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:45.400
<v Speaker 6>When did you do that? How about a lifetime ago?

67
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.800
<v Speaker 6>I mean, you don't think I got skin like this

68
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:50.439
<v Speaker 6>by being outside all the time, don't you?

69
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:50.800
<v Speaker 3>Come on.

70
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.639
<v Speaker 2>I've done some light kayaking with friends up in a

71
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:59.719
<v Speaker 2>place called Clear Lake in kind of central California, and

72
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:04.039
<v Speaker 2>I it's some sculling and some rowing, just for fun

73
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:08.360
<v Speaker 2>with friends at Georgetown because Georgetown has a huge rowing team,

74
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:10.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, one of the best in the country, or

75
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:11.800
<v Speaker 2>at least when I was there, So you had the

76
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>chance hang out with friends and they were teaching me

77
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:15.840
<v Speaker 2>how to do it. I was very bad at it,

78
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:18.600
<v Speaker 2>very very bad at it. But I understand it's a

79
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 2>great workout. I mean, you have a great appreciation for

80
00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:26.759
<v Speaker 2>those types of water competitions and water sports, especially if

81
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:27.560
<v Speaker 2>you've never done it.

82
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.720
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean it's not fun enough to continue doing

83
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:31.839
<v Speaker 6>it into your adult life.

84
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.639
<v Speaker 3>Hell, I don't even like sitting on a rowing machine now. No. No,

85
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:38.920
<v Speaker 3>Did you ever watch House of Cards?

86
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, and how a principal portion of the show was

87
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:47.199
<v Speaker 2>built around Frank under would and he would sit at

88
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 2>his rowing machine and he'd work out his issues on

89
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Speaker 2>a rowing machine.

90
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 6>It seems like every show that's said in DC shows

91
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:57.079
<v Speaker 6>some variation, some permutation of rowing, like Jack Ryan, all

92
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:58.600
<v Speaker 6>of it.

93
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:00.600
<v Speaker 3>It's big as far as the culture in DC.

94
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.519
<v Speaker 2>That's my point. That's exactly my point. There is a

95
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:09.199
<v Speaker 2>big rowing community in Washington, d C. In the way

96
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:13.040
<v Speaker 2>that you think of LA and maybe the Venice basketball courts. Well,

97
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.160
<v Speaker 2>rowing is a thing that people just do in DC

98
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.879
<v Speaker 2>because you have the Potomac and you have the opportunity

99
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 2>to actually go rowing.

100
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:19.800
<v Speaker 3>Now the hell with that.

101
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:21.639
<v Speaker 6>Just get on a stationary bike and watch a movie

102
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:22.920
<v Speaker 6>on your iPad like the rest of us.

103
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's what I do, except the iPad part. I

104
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:29.240
<v Speaker 2>would never have an iPad in my hand. That blasphemy.

105
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't do too complicated tech for you. No, I

106
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:36.839
<v Speaker 2>just don't like Apple products. I'm on the good, beautiful things.

107
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:41.920
<v Speaker 2>I give Apple credit for the quality of the hardware,

108
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 2>the build of their devices.

109
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:46.319
<v Speaker 6>You prefer inferior products, is what you're saying.

110
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:51.560
<v Speaker 2>No, I just like American products. I love America, and

111
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.879
<v Speaker 2>Apple build most of your stuff in China.

112
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.720
<v Speaker 6>Okay, Well, they put those nets up to stop people

113
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:03.720
<v Speaker 6>from killing themselves. I mean that's due diligence. I don't

114
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.120
<v Speaker 6>have to feel guilty about Apple stuff, do I. No, No,

115
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:07.360
<v Speaker 6>I'm just a Google guy.

116
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:11.759
<v Speaker 2>Like in other words, I My phones have been Google

117
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Android since the beginning. I have a Google Pixel eight.

118
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm probably going to upgrade to the Pixel ten. Everything

119
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:23.600
<v Speaker 2>I do on my computer is within the matrix of Google.

120
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.519
<v Speaker 6>Now, you and Marsha, who I am right now christening

121
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.120
<v Speaker 6>the nice tech lady, the two of you have a

122
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:32.160
<v Speaker 6>weird uh Android.

123
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.600
<v Speaker 3>Cult thing going on. I've never understood that. I'll explain it.

124
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:36.560
<v Speaker 3>It's very, very simple, very simple.

125
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Android is for those who appreciate customization. We can make

126
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:48.759
<v Speaker 2>our phones and our email and that whole ecosystem specific

127
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:53.279
<v Speaker 2>to us. There are more customization options with Android phones

128
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:57.959
<v Speaker 2>as opposed to Apple, just from our home screen to

129
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:04.040
<v Speaker 2>the icon. It's just a it's a much more personalized experience.

130
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.959
<v Speaker 6>It's like you're speaking Farsi to me, because when I

131
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:10.000
<v Speaker 6>have my iPhone in my hand, there's nothing I can

132
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.279
<v Speaker 6>think of that I would want to customize because it

133
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.560
<v Speaker 6>does everything that all the stuff in a Star Trek

134
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:16.879
<v Speaker 6>episode would do combined.

135
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:17.839
<v Speaker 3>It's not due.

136
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:22.120
<v Speaker 6>It's about the presentation, it's about how it looks superficial.

137
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:23.199
<v Speaker 6>Then that's where you're focused.

138
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.519
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it could be the types of notification alerts, and

139
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:30.120
<v Speaker 2>you can customize it how your phone will buzz or

140
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:33.079
<v Speaker 2>beat for a certain text message, or I can do.

141
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:35.120
<v Speaker 6>That when when you text me, I could program it

142
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:37.279
<v Speaker 6>to go it's mo you can't.

143
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:40.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying, but there are more options when it comes

144
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:41.040
<v Speaker 2>to Android.

145
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:42.360
<v Speaker 3>You asked a serious question.

146
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to give you a serious answer, and I'm

147
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.000
<v Speaker 2>trying to make it as simple as possible so you'll

148
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:46.639
<v Speaker 2>understand it.

149
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:52.279
<v Speaker 6>That's a nice try, but I'm actually gonna do that,

150
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:54.160
<v Speaker 6>and I'm going to insist you call Marcia the nice

151
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:54.639
<v Speaker 6>tech lady.

152
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Now she is the nice tech lady. But my point

153
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:01.000
<v Speaker 2>is going back to the story. I've done some kayaking,

154
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:04.000
<v Speaker 2>I've done some rowing, but that was specific to Washington,

155
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:08.000
<v Speaker 2>d C. And if you spend any time out there, yeah,

156
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:11.360
<v Speaker 2>rolling is a typical thing, and people would have rowing

157
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:16.160
<v Speaker 2>machines because you'd see people rowing on the Potomac and

158
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:18.439
<v Speaker 2>it's a beautiful thing to do, and I missed the

159
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.720
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to do it. I would never do it now,

160
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:23.040
<v Speaker 2>but I'm saying was when I was in my you know,

161
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:26.759
<v Speaker 2>late teens and early twenties, the opporunity percent of itself.

162
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:28.639
<v Speaker 3>So I got my ass out of a potomac.

163
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:30.959
<v Speaker 6>Do that too much, you get huge lats and your

164
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.279
<v Speaker 6>jackets won't fit anymore. Yeah, but that was thirty five

165
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.200
<v Speaker 6>years ago. I think it's okay now you think.

166
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:35.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

167
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:39.799
<v Speaker 2>Look what I do is as far as the physical activities,

168
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing my hot keto. I'll do thirty to forty

169
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:45.679
<v Speaker 2>push ups every morning before I get in the shower,

170
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:47.080
<v Speaker 2>do my stretches.

171
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.320
<v Speaker 3>But I'm not trying to build bulk.

172
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:52.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to stay as lean as possible I should say,

173
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:57.559
<v Speaker 2>less fat as possible, and you know, retain basic muscle mass.

174
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.759
<v Speaker 6>I'm not trying to lift weights like that. Those times

175
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.240
<v Speaker 6>are over. Well if you say so, oh, I'm sure.

176
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.000
<v Speaker 6>I want you to be comfortable. I don't want you

177
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:08.279
<v Speaker 6>to injure yourself or or you don't have one of

178
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:10.919
<v Speaker 6>those medical alert things. So I don't want you to

179
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:13.759
<v Speaker 6>fall down until I've fallen and I can't get up

180
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:15.399
<v Speaker 6>and have nobody respond.

181
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:17.399
<v Speaker 2>Don't tell me I'm not the don't tell me I'm

182
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:19.799
<v Speaker 2>the only one who will go to sleep and wake

183
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:21.519
<v Speaker 2>up with a sprain ankle?

184
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.679
<v Speaker 3>What does never happened to you? I don't know what

185
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:27.399
<v Speaker 3>you're talking about. Oh, you're lying. You go to sleep

186
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:28.759
<v Speaker 3>and you wake up with a sprained ankle.

187
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.120
<v Speaker 2>You've never got out of bed in the morning, and

188
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:32.799
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden you realize, like, wait a minute,

189
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:35.200
<v Speaker 2>I twisted my back or I sprained my ankle, and

190
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:38.440
<v Speaker 2>you have no idea why, and I don't sleep walk,

191
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:39.480
<v Speaker 2>so we can remove that.

192
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:41.840
<v Speaker 3>No, no, this is all new to me.

193
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:44.799
<v Speaker 6>I mean, of all the things that are going to

194
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.039
<v Speaker 6>happen while you're asleep, that's not a thing I would

195
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:47.399
<v Speaker 6>have guessed.

196
00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Robin, you're too young. You'll learn about this as you

197
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:51.960
<v Speaker 2>get older. Twallow went somewhere, but I know it's happened.

198
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:52.679
<v Speaker 2>He get him in there.

199
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.200
<v Speaker 3>We need we get you ass in here. I know

200
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:55.799
<v Speaker 3>that I'm not.

201
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:58.000
<v Speaker 2>The only one that that happens too, where you go

202
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:00.200
<v Speaker 2>to sleep and you're like, wait, how did I just

203
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.679
<v Speaker 2>locate my elbow or something in the middle of the

204
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.519
<v Speaker 2>night doing nothing. I know I cannot be the only

205
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.320
<v Speaker 2>one that happens to tell me I'm not lying.

206
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:10.159
<v Speaker 3>We need to get you to help.

207
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:13.559
<v Speaker 2>You need it fast, well, You've never gone to sleep

208
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:15.639
<v Speaker 2>like woken up with a sprain, ankle or something.

209
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.000
<v Speaker 3>You have no idea how it happened. Yes, of course

210
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:21.639
<v Speaker 3>that happens. That's all I'm saying. Are you too like

211
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:24.919
<v Speaker 3>mister Glass in the shamela An movies? Oh come on?

212
00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:28.639
<v Speaker 6>Oh look seriously, Mark, Okay, don't. I don't know what's

213
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:34.279
<v Speaker 6>going on in your genetic pool. But I have literally

214
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.320
<v Speaker 6>woken up and found my knee out of sorts, and

215
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:38.720
<v Speaker 6>I have no idea what happened.

216
00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:39.639
<v Speaker 3>I literally do.

217
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.000
<v Speaker 6>I woke up one one, I got out of the bed,

218
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.320
<v Speaker 6>put my feet on the ground and stood up and

219
00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:46.720
<v Speaker 6>damn near collapsed because I thought my ankle was sprayed.

220
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:49.120
<v Speaker 3>For God's sake.

221
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:55.519
<v Speaker 2>He he's lying now. He doesn't want to admit his age.

222
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:57.679
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't want to let on that he's in the

223
00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:01.679
<v Speaker 2>same age bracket as we are I am. So it

224
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:03.519
<v Speaker 2>wants to claim like, oh my gosh, these things don't

225
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.960
<v Speaker 2>happen to me because I'm my runner and I'm only

226
00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:06.559
<v Speaker 2>thirty two.

227
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:09.879
<v Speaker 6>So you haven't just stretched and almost literally put your

228
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:11.360
<v Speaker 6>entire back out.

229
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:19.200
<v Speaker 3>No, take some vitamins you're pants, or I'll stand up them.

230
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:19.759
<v Speaker 1>You know what?

231
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:21.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't know because you don't wear pants in the studio.

232
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:23.360
<v Speaker 2>You already told us that. Oh that's right. Look at

233
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:25.519
<v Speaker 2>the timef I AM six forty, we're live everywhere on

234
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:26.799
<v Speaker 2>the iHeartRadio app.

235
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:31.039
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from

236
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:32.720
<v Speaker 1>KFI AM six forty.

237
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:36.120
<v Speaker 2>And Space Force is back in the news as Space

238
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:39.799
<v Speaker 2>Force is going to play quote unquote a central role

239
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:47.200
<v Speaker 2>in the Iron Dome US Missile Defense Initiative. In fact,

240
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:51.639
<v Speaker 2>this integrated planning Team, the IPT, will have wide ranging

241
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:53.960
<v Speaker 2>expertise that will be critical in laying out the missile

242
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:59.879
<v Speaker 2>shield architecture to defend the US homeland from missile threats.

243
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.440
<v Speaker 2>And that's according to the Space Forces Chief of Space Operations,

244
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:09.039
<v Speaker 2>General Chance Saltzman, quote, we are leading forward establishing this

245
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:14.679
<v Speaker 2>technical IPT to start thinking about it from an overarching perspective.

246
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.519
<v Speaker 2>The Iron Dome for America Executive Order was signed by

247
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:21.799
<v Speaker 2>President Donald Trump on January twenty seventh, and its specifically

248
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:26.039
<v Speaker 2>direct Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to submit a comprehensive

249
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:30.919
<v Speaker 2>plan detailing the architecture, requirements, and implementation strategy for a

250
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:35.559
<v Speaker 2>missile defense system and the Missile Defense Agency, which oversees

251
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.000
<v Speaker 2>the nation's existing missile defense shield, has taken lead in

252
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:42.080
<v Speaker 2>organizing meetings with the defense industry. YadA yah, yeada, blah

253
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:44.919
<v Speaker 2>blah blah. And this seems to me, correct me if

254
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm wrong. This seems to me the next logical evolution

255
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:53.600
<v Speaker 2>of what was the Star Wars Strategic Defense Initiative whatever

256
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:58.360
<v Speaker 2>they called it during the Reagan administration many decades ago.

257
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:03.919
<v Speaker 6>Yes, but now we have an actual dedicated arm of

258
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:10.559
<v Speaker 6>our US military dedicated to defending us not just in

259
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:14.480
<v Speaker 6>the upper atmosphere, but in the upper upper atmosphere.

260
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.799
<v Speaker 2>I saw this photo which is floating around social media

261
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:25.399
<v Speaker 2>of the X thirty seven, the super secret Dronet unmanned

262
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:28.200
<v Speaker 2>craft which they use to do all our spy work

263
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:29.840
<v Speaker 2>out and outer space, and it took a picture of

264
00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:32.639
<v Speaker 2>Earth and they released that to the press. And I'm

265
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:38.159
<v Speaker 2>quite sure now we have a fully fleshed out space presence,

266
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:41.919
<v Speaker 2>unmanned at least, including our satellites which are doing all

267
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:44.480
<v Speaker 2>sorts of things up there. And this is the next

268
00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:47.200
<v Speaker 2>logical progression. We have all these satellites, in other words,

269
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:51.759
<v Speaker 2>billions and billions of dollars worth of communication and military

270
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:57.799
<v Speaker 2>hardware which can be vulnerable or can be weaponized in

271
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:00.879
<v Speaker 2>whatever degree, and it serves out our interests that not

272
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:03.639
<v Speaker 2>only is protected, we also know what everyone else is doing.

273
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:06.440
<v Speaker 3>It's not just satellites up there, that's for sure. Well.

274
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:13.159
<v Speaker 6>The notion of a military division protecting us not just

275
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:17.399
<v Speaker 6>here in the land, the sea, and the air, but

276
00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:22.799
<v Speaker 6>in space is important because we need to have like

277
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:26.159
<v Speaker 6>you said, there are unmanned vehicles up there. We need

278
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:32.000
<v Speaker 6>some type of protection, some type of deterrent from enemy

279
00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:39.559
<v Speaker 6>satellites by noun from attacking our existing satellite network up there.

280
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:41.440
<v Speaker 3>We have to have some protections against that.

281
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:44.919
<v Speaker 2>Trump's executive order says the US needs a multi layer

282
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:50.480
<v Speaker 2>defense against advanced missile threats, including ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles.

283
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.759
<v Speaker 2>The administration argues that an advanced missile shield would deter

284
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:59.720
<v Speaker 2>adversaries like Russia and China. Well, how can I just

285
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:01.879
<v Speaker 2>thought we just were on the side of Russia as

286
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:04.840
<v Speaker 2>of yesterday, How can they be considered an adversary? But

287
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:07.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, the administration argues that in an advanced missile

288
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:11.120
<v Speaker 2>shield would deter adversaries like Russia and China from leveraging

289
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:17.879
<v Speaker 2>their missile capabilities for corrosion I don't think President Trump

290
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:21.039
<v Speaker 2>needs to be coerced. He is fully on board with Russia. Yeah,

291
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:26.759
<v Speaker 2>fully on board. Maybe this is being built to help Russia.

292
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:27.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

293
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:30.360
<v Speaker 6>Look, I just love the idea that space force is

294
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:33.799
<v Speaker 6>we need it futilized more and more and more, that

295
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:38.279
<v Speaker 6>it is actually becoming something to our chagrin, because in

296
00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:41.600
<v Speaker 6>the beginning we laughed bodily at space force, and then

297
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:44.279
<v Speaker 6>it's turned into like, oh, oh, wait a minute, oh.

298
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:44.840
<v Speaker 3>We say.

299
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:49.440
<v Speaker 2>It is serious and we need it. And Robin is

300
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:52.440
<v Speaker 2>way too young to remember this. But back in the

301
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:55.759
<v Speaker 2>nineteen eighties, there was this huge debate about whether we

302
00:15:55.840 --> 00:16:00.960
<v Speaker 2>should pursue militarization in space, that we should have some

303
00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:04.440
<v Speaker 2>sort of military presence or what was thought to be

304
00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:07.519
<v Speaker 2>like this Star Wars defense initiative, where we would be

305
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.519
<v Speaker 2>able to shoot down other countries' missiles. Of course we

306
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:14.600
<v Speaker 2>can do that now, but the conversation started in a

307
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:18.000
<v Speaker 2>public sense in the nineteen eighties, and I know Mark

308
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:18.919
<v Speaker 2>remembers that debate.

309
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:21.679
<v Speaker 6>Well, I'm not sure many people remember how widely mocked

310
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:24.519
<v Speaker 6>Reagan's Star Wars thing was. And also, yes, about the

311
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:26.320
<v Speaker 6>best thing you could say about it is that it

312
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:30.120
<v Speaker 6>helped accelerate Russia spending itself into ruin the former Soviet

313
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:31.799
<v Speaker 6>Union rather well.

314
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:34.759
<v Speaker 2>That is true too, and yeah that helped also bring

315
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:37.399
<v Speaker 2>down the Soviet Union, absolutely.

316
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:39.759
<v Speaker 6>But it wasn't because you know, we had a realistic

317
00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:44.799
<v Speaker 6>shot at some futuristic space star Wars thing actually happening.

318
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:47.480
<v Speaker 6>It was just it was a spending race and Russia,

319
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:49.480
<v Speaker 6>the Soviet Union, bankrupt itself.

320
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:52.360
<v Speaker 2>And that was an adjunct, if you will, of the

321
00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:56.799
<v Speaker 2>nuclear arms race at the time, where Russia had more

322
00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:59.080
<v Speaker 2>missiles nuclear.

323
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:02.600
<v Speaker 3>ICBMs than we did. I think they still do now.

324
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:05.319
<v Speaker 3>They still got plenty, but you know.

325
00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:08.359
<v Speaker 2>They could they couldn't even feed the people in I

326
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:10.200
<v Speaker 2>would say the early nineties.

327
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:14.640
<v Speaker 6>There's still a shocking percentage of the Russian population that

328
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.200
<v Speaker 6>doesn't have indoor plumbing and toilets and stuff.

329
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:20.000
<v Speaker 3>But the god missiles though, the god missiles.

330
00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:23.480
<v Speaker 6>I mean, you may see footage of Tucker losing his

331
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:26.880
<v Speaker 6>mind at a grocery store there, but bear in mind

332
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:29.519
<v Speaker 6>that that's not representative of the entirety of the country.

333
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:33.440
<v Speaker 2>But we're now old enough to see the i'll say,

334
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.319
<v Speaker 2>the growth and evolution of the vision of the late

335
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.559
<v Speaker 2>Ronald Reagan. It's now here Are you sure.

336
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.079
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure, Okay, I'm positive. It's real.

337
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:50.400
<v Speaker 2>The whole strategic the fits initiative has been realized thanks

338
00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:51.680
<v Speaker 2>to our President Donald Trump.

339
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:55.200
<v Speaker 6>I just hope they have cool outfits. We talked about

340
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:58.200
<v Speaker 6>that and we saw the uniforms. They're not quite cool yet.

341
00:17:58.240 --> 00:17:59.880
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I want a cool jacket if they're going

342
00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:02.400
<v Speaker 6>to go through with this thing. Oh, you weren't here

343
00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:05.039
<v Speaker 6>what we brought Space Force on the show. Yeah, we

344
00:18:05.079 --> 00:18:06.319
<v Speaker 6>did a whole hour with them.

345
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:09.680
<v Speaker 3>Did they bring hats? Now? Like a hat? Those a

346
00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:11.119
<v Speaker 3>very very serious conversation.

347
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.279
<v Speaker 6>It was about their expansion and infrastructure, what they're building

348
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:16.480
<v Speaker 6>here in southern California.

349
00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:17.720
<v Speaker 3>It was very very impresive.

350
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:19.559
<v Speaker 6>It's like three miles from while I live on Crenshaw

351
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:21.039
<v Speaker 6>and yet no hats.

352
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:22.559
<v Speaker 3>That's very disappointed.

353
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:24.720
<v Speaker 6>We'll have them back of the show. We'll get hats

354
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:26.960
<v Speaker 6>just for you. That's tattoos and I want the whole

355
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:27.799
<v Speaker 6>nine yards.

356
00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:31.039
<v Speaker 2>It's later with mo Kelly kfi AM six forty Live Everywhere,

357
00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:35.160
<v Speaker 2>the iHeartRadio app from Star Wars Defense Initiative to Star

358
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Wars will give you the latest about where that whole

359
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:42.599
<v Speaker 2>intellectual property is going. Now that Kathleen Kennedy is expected

360
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:44.039
<v Speaker 2>to retire by the end of the year.

361
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:48.359
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from

362
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:50.680
<v Speaker 1>KFI AM six forty and.

363
00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:53.279
<v Speaker 3>I love Star Wars through and through, Love it through

364
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:53.839
<v Speaker 3>and through.

365
00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:56.160
<v Speaker 2>It takes me back to nineteen seventy seven when my

366
00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:01.519
<v Speaker 2>father took me and my grandfather, my mother's father to

367
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:03.799
<v Speaker 2>see Star Wars. I think it was maybe the second

368
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:08.160
<v Speaker 2>week he was out. He was in Century City, had

369
00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:12.599
<v Speaker 2>a waiting line, was packed out theater, and I'll never

370
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:17.279
<v Speaker 2>forget the experience. I absolutely loved it. Fell in love

371
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:19.680
<v Speaker 2>with Star Wars right then. And this was at a

372
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:24.440
<v Speaker 2>time there weren't a lot of sequels. You had maybe

373
00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:27.119
<v Speaker 2>The Godfather, and I can't think of anything else which

374
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:31.400
<v Speaker 2>had a sequel in the nineteen seventies that was not expected,

375
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:31.960
<v Speaker 2>that was not.

376
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:34.200
<v Speaker 3>Normal at all.

377
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:36.680
<v Speaker 2>And then as Star Wars progressed, you had the Empire

378
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:40.000
<v Speaker 2>strikes Back in nineteen eighty, Return of the Jedi in

379
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:43.680
<v Speaker 2>nineteen eighty three, and then the rest, they say is history.

380
00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:46.920
<v Speaker 3>But much later on in that history, George.

381
00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:54.359
<v Speaker 2>Lucas sold his Star Wars World Universe of intellectual property

382
00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:58.039
<v Speaker 2>and rights to Disney, and there was a question there

383
00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:03.319
<v Speaker 2>was concern. There was a worry whether selling Star Wars

384
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:08.359
<v Speaker 2>would change change it into something else, changing into something

385
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:13.400
<v Speaker 2>which was much more disneyfied and less Star Wars. Star Wars,

386
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:16.119
<v Speaker 2>for all the jokes that people would make about it,

387
00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:19.599
<v Speaker 2>was still a somewhat serious movie. You had one of

388
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:23.480
<v Speaker 2>the best villains of all time, Darth Vader, who choked

389
00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:24.319
<v Speaker 2>people to death.

390
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:28.559
<v Speaker 3>He was a serious villain. If you know anything about.

391
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:33.200
<v Speaker 2>The Star Wars storyline, it's basically based on the Nazis.

392
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.920
<v Speaker 2>You had the Stormtroopers, and it was a mark. How

393
00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:39.000
<v Speaker 2>would you characterize it? I thought it was like a

394
00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:41.039
<v Speaker 2>treatise on imperialism.

395
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:45.119
<v Speaker 6>I just always thought of it as like the Cadillac

396
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:47.880
<v Speaker 6>treatment of all the old sci fi movie serials that

397
00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:51.440
<v Speaker 6>George Lucas grew up with, like Flash Gordon and Bush Rogers.

398
00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:54.400
<v Speaker 2>True, but there still wasn't a serious underpinning as far

399
00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:57.119
<v Speaker 2>as what it was based on and the message he

400
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:01.799
<v Speaker 2>was trying to convey. There was a definite message in it, Yeah, absolutely.

401
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:05.640
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, sure, and I think it became more pronounced as

402
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:09.039
<v Speaker 6>the series went on, and then you realize that, like

403
00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:13.519
<v Speaker 6>you have moments where you realize, oh, are we the Empire?

404
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, and you think that you're on the side

405
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:21.920
<v Speaker 2>of right yeah, and maybe you're not. The more you

406
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.680
<v Speaker 2>investigate the origins of Star Wars and the real message,

407
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.359
<v Speaker 2>who was exactly the empire and who was the resistance.

408
00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:34.799
<v Speaker 2>I say all that to say, given all that subtext,

409
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:39.240
<v Speaker 2>when it was sold to Disney, there was concerned about

410
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:42.519
<v Speaker 2>what it would become, and Kathleen Kennedy, who was the

411
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:45.839
<v Speaker 2>longtime president of Lucasfilm and one of the original people

412
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:49.319
<v Speaker 2>around George Lucas, did not share the same vision for

413
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Star Wars, and after it was sold, Kathleen Kennedy stayed

414
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.480
<v Speaker 2>on as president and she's been much maligned and criticized

415
00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:59.240
<v Speaker 2>as far as her vision, which seems to be more

416
00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:03.480
<v Speaker 2>about Disney then the original feeling of Star Wars, and

417
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:05.680
<v Speaker 2>I think that's part of the reason why we got

418
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:10.160
<v Speaker 2>some mediocre Star Wars movies and some very mediocre TV

419
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:13.799
<v Speaker 2>series with the exception of a few. It has now

420
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:17.000
<v Speaker 2>been reported that Kathleen Kennedy is going to retire at

421
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:20.559
<v Speaker 2>the end of this year, and it says to Star

422
00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Wars fans like me and Twala, I don't know about Mark,

423
00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:27.839
<v Speaker 2>but a different day is coming and maybe better movies

424
00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:30.119
<v Speaker 2>are coming because I had sworn off Star Wars movies

425
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:32.519
<v Speaker 2>for good because of you.

426
00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:34.319
<v Speaker 6>Would just go see it no matter what, just because

427
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:36.640
<v Speaker 6>it's Star Wars and then hate watch it.

428
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:37.160
<v Speaker 4>No.

429
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.039
<v Speaker 2>I did up until the Last Jedi. I was so

430
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:43.759
<v Speaker 2>done with Star Wars. With the Last Jedi, I didn't

431
00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:45.440
<v Speaker 2>even see The Rise.

432
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:50.440
<v Speaker 6>Of Skywalker in like the first three weeks it was

433
00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:50.880
<v Speaker 6>in theaters.

434
00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:52.160
<v Speaker 3>I had no desire to see it.

435
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:54.759
<v Speaker 6>I'm not crazy about those and I said for a

436
00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:58.359
<v Speaker 6>long time that Star Wars really got along on nothing

437
00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:02.160
<v Speaker 6>but goodwill after two good movies Star Wars in nineteen

438
00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:05.960
<v Speaker 6>seventy seven and Empire in nineteen eighty, and there was

439
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:08.559
<v Speaker 6>nothing good for decades after that.

440
00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:10.319
<v Speaker 3>I disagree. For as bad as.

441
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:14.319
<v Speaker 2>Jar Jar Binks was in The Phantom Menace, we still

442
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:16.680
<v Speaker 2>got Darth Maul. The only problem with Darth Maul is

443
00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:17.599
<v Speaker 2>they killed him.

444
00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:21.400
<v Speaker 6>He was a cool character, and there were cool elements

445
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:23.559
<v Speaker 6>to some of those movies. I like The Buddy Cop

446
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:28.160
<v Speaker 6>Jedis that story with Django Fett. That was a good story.

447
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:30.960
<v Speaker 6>It did pay off in the end, but that was

448
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:35.279
<v Speaker 6>still Lucas's involvement. He was still heavily involved, and he

449
00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:38.359
<v Speaker 6>was still trying to flesh out a story that he

450
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:44.599
<v Speaker 6>began long long ago under the leadership of Kathleen Kennedy.

451
00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:47.839
<v Speaker 6>Is when we saw it take a decided turn into

452
00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:54.039
<v Speaker 6>the realm of Solo and the ray led prequels that

453
00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:54.599
<v Speaker 6>were just.

454
00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, that goes back to the whole disnification of it all.

455
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:01.680
<v Speaker 2>George Lucas was made making stories for, I would say,

456
00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:06.960
<v Speaker 2>more the nerd culture, and Kathleen Kennedy wanted to have

457
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:13.079
<v Speaker 2>teen girls and younger Disney fans, fans of the Disney

458
00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:17.640
<v Speaker 2>universe to buy into Star Wars, and I don't think

459
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:21.079
<v Speaker 2>it worked. I think that Star Wars was always intented

460
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:24.519
<v Speaker 2>is much more of a vehicle for kids, and the

461
00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:27.799
<v Speaker 2>marketing of all their toys bears that out. And it

462
00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:29.319
<v Speaker 2>was never meant to It was always meant to be

463
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:32.119
<v Speaker 2>kind of juvenile fantasy and never serious hard sci fi.

464
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:34.599
<v Speaker 3>But maybe, okay, let's say that's true.

465
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:37.400
<v Speaker 2>But by the time it gets to Disney, it is

466
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:40.160
<v Speaker 2>what it is, and it had taken on a life

467
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:43.759
<v Speaker 2>and understanding of its own, which is different from the

468
00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:47.920
<v Speaker 2>toys and the paraphernalia and all the marketing and merchandising

469
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:50.160
<v Speaker 2>that maybe we grew up on. But it was more

470
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:54.039
<v Speaker 2>about a level of seriousness of entertainment, not the silliness

471
00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:55.200
<v Speaker 2>that it's become now.

472
00:24:55.079 --> 00:25:00.039
<v Speaker 6>Because the toys became collectors items for adults. The the

473
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:04.920
<v Speaker 6>series of the franchise, it grew and maintained its relevance

474
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:08.359
<v Speaker 6>because of things like the graphic novels and comic books

475
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:11.240
<v Speaker 6>and Victo games, which are a lot darker, but the

476
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:15.279
<v Speaker 6>video games, which were very dark and told a much

477
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:19.039
<v Speaker 6>more serious and mature story because they had to appeal

478
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:20.400
<v Speaker 6>to young men.

479
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:23.279
<v Speaker 3>That's what kept the interest in Star Wars.

480
00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:26.279
<v Speaker 6>And so when they said, hey, let's go at this again,

481
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:31.200
<v Speaker 6>you know we got Fortunately, we got stories like Rogue one,

482
00:25:31.559 --> 00:25:34.279
<v Speaker 6>which for me is one of my favorite stories because

483
00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:36.640
<v Speaker 6>it told the story of the war, which is why

484
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:39.519
<v Speaker 6>I like and or because it tells the story of

485
00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:43.559
<v Speaker 6>the war in Star Wars. But Kathleen Kennedy in her

486
00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:49.119
<v Speaker 6>Zille and her quest to destroy the Skywalker legacy and

487
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:53.160
<v Speaker 6>turn it into some you know, mass marketing machine. Look,

488
00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:57.119
<v Speaker 6>I will give Kathleen Kennedy two props. I will give

489
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:00.200
<v Speaker 6>her two props and two props only. And that is

490
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:04.039
<v Speaker 6>the decision to put Dave Filoni and John Favreau in

491
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:08.759
<v Speaker 6>charge of future projects outside of that dinged.

492
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:09.200
<v Speaker 3>On the Witch is dead.

493
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:11.559
<v Speaker 2>Ye, yes, and no, because she was the one who

494
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:14.759
<v Speaker 2>put Ryan Johnson in charge and was going to give

495
00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:16.079
<v Speaker 2>him his own trilogy.

496
00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, no, no.

497
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:22.279
<v Speaker 6>Now, remember she put Ryan Johnson in charge prior, prior

498
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:25.839
<v Speaker 6>she gave him the trilogy, prior to saying, oh, oh,

499
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:28.039
<v Speaker 6>they don't they don't like this slow speed chase in

500
00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:32.319
<v Speaker 6>outer space with Vice Admiral Evening Gown. They didn't like that.

501
00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:35.680
<v Speaker 6>Oh no, oh Ryan, this may not be a thing

502
00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:39.920
<v Speaker 6>for you. Hey, hey, john who John Star Wars fan?

503
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:40.240
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

504
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:43.640
<v Speaker 6>And and can you get Dave over an animation? Can

505
00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:45.759
<v Speaker 6>you get him to come over to live action? What

506
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:49.559
<v Speaker 6>you've got a series for the Mandalorian? What you've got

507
00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:52.319
<v Speaker 6>an Ahsoka series? You're what You're giving us the most

508
00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:55.640
<v Speaker 6>badass Luke Skywalker in the history of the entire franchise.

509
00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:59.119
<v Speaker 6>Thank you, Thank you, gentlemen for what you've done for us.

510
00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:03.559
<v Speaker 6>You are my obi WS. Was Kathleen Kennedy also responsible

511
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:06.839
<v Speaker 6>for bringing JJ Abrams on board because I think he

512
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:09.079
<v Speaker 6>did as much damage to Star Wars as he did

513
00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:09.599
<v Speaker 6>to Star Trail.

514
00:27:09.680 --> 00:27:11.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, here's the problem, and this week, before we go

515
00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:13.480
<v Speaker 2>to break, we'll pick it up on the other side.

516
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:17.119
<v Speaker 2>Here's where Kathleen Kennedy I think made it worse than was.

517
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:20.839
<v Speaker 2>JJ Abrams had a trilogy in mind, but when you

518
00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:25.039
<v Speaker 2>start changing directors, JJ wanted to tell a story that

519
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:28.559
<v Speaker 2>began with the Force Awakens and was going to have

520
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:31.359
<v Speaker 2>a more fleshed out story in between, which we might

521
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:33.920
<v Speaker 2>have learned more about the Knights of Wren and what

522
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:37.119
<v Speaker 2>actually happened to Luke Skywalker. Ryan Johnson comes in with

523
00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:39.160
<v Speaker 2>the Last Jedi and say you have to kill the

524
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Pass and just disregarded everything which had happened in the

525
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:45.960
<v Speaker 2>previous movie. And then JJ Abrams comes back for the

526
00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:48.359
<v Speaker 2>third one and tries to tell a story which is

527
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:53.880
<v Speaker 2>completely incomplete, and it's completely disjointed and jumbled and nonsensical,

528
00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:56.599
<v Speaker 2>and I blame Kathleen Kennedy for that.

529
00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:58.839
<v Speaker 3>There's no way they could have finished that Siti well.

530
00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:03.680
<v Speaker 6>And JJ Abrams was brought on board by Kathy Kiddy

531
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:06.400
<v Speaker 6>even in the earliest parts of his career, like she said,

532
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:08.200
<v Speaker 6>when I get on, I'm putting you on because he

533
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:11.000
<v Speaker 6>was like a understudy when she was just a producer

534
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:11.720
<v Speaker 6>and stuff like that.

535
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:14.160
<v Speaker 2>We'll have more and just a moment later with Mokelly

536
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:16.039
<v Speaker 2>kf I six forty five everywhere in the arc Heart

537
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:29.319
<v Speaker 2>Radio app Lame Kelly six Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

538
00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:31.880
<v Speaker 2>And we were talking about the impending retirement of Kathleen

539
00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Kennedy and this is important thing.

540
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:34.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm not a Star Wars fan.

541
00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:38.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, the Star Wars universe and the movies and the

542
00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:41.319
<v Speaker 2>television shows on Disney Plus we talk about the importance

543
00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:46.039
<v Speaker 2>of Disney to movie theaters, to the overall entertainment landscape.

544
00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:49.759
<v Speaker 2>I promise you if Disney went away, the entertainment business

545
00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:52.759
<v Speaker 2>as we know it would crater. The movie theaters that

546
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.279
<v Speaker 2>you know and love in your neighborhood would disappear and

547
00:28:56.359 --> 00:29:01.000
<v Speaker 2>go out of business. Regardless of your personal politics, Disney

548
00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:05.119
<v Speaker 2>is keeping thousands and thousands of people employed from a

549
00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:10.559
<v Speaker 2>general labor force perspective, and it's also helping with our

550
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:14.319
<v Speaker 2>gross domestic product and our larger economy.

551
00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:17.519
<v Speaker 3>So regardless of what you think about Disney.

552
00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:21.440
<v Speaker 2>The success or failure of Disney has a direct impact

553
00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:24.240
<v Speaker 2>on you. And I don't want people to lose sight

554
00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:26.359
<v Speaker 2>of that. But sometimes we think, well, I you know,

555
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:29.519
<v Speaker 2>go woke, go broke. Well, you don't want Disney going broke,

556
00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:32.720
<v Speaker 2>not that they're going to, but you're actually rooting against

557
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:36.559
<v Speaker 2>yourself each time that you say that, because you don't

558
00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:40.640
<v Speaker 2>like the content that they may be putting out. And

559
00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:44.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, sometimes there are consequences when you get what

560
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:47.839
<v Speaker 2>you ask for, it's not what you want. But anyhow,

561
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:50.319
<v Speaker 2>there are some things that Disney is doing well. There

562
00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:54.039
<v Speaker 2>are some series that they've been producing on Disney Plus

563
00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:57.400
<v Speaker 2>which I think are fine in the sense of really

564
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:00.599
<v Speaker 2>quality additions to the Star Wars universe verse. One of

565
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:04.079
<v Speaker 2>them was and Or, and I had to slowly warm

566
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:05.640
<v Speaker 2>up to it. I thought it was a little slow

567
00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:07.880
<v Speaker 2>in its first season and then it picked up. If

568
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:09.920
<v Speaker 2>you don't know the story of and Or, it's basically

569
00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:13.480
<v Speaker 2>telling the story the inner workings of how the Death Star,

570
00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:17.640
<v Speaker 2>the original Death Star was built. And the second sceneson

571
00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:26.720
<v Speaker 2>trailer recently dropped, where the war you.

572
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:30.119
<v Speaker 3>Want to fight? Who do you want to win?

573
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:43.599
<v Speaker 6>Last dream that the world turn around?

574
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:56.960
<v Speaker 3>Alloaves have come to me, Drills Stars now a swell

575
00:30:57.079 --> 00:30:57.519
<v Speaker 3>part of.

576
00:30:57.519 --> 00:31:07.920
<v Speaker 2>This, more music than anything, and montages of pictures. I

577
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:09.920
<v Speaker 2>wish you could have more dialogue in it, but.

578
00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:13.640
<v Speaker 6>You get to see how the Death Star was built

579
00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:16.440
<v Speaker 6>from the inside out and that's something the story we

580
00:31:16.519 --> 00:31:18.079
<v Speaker 6>never got to see. We just got to see a

581
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:21.319
<v Speaker 6>fully completed death Star in episode four, and we knew

582
00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:24.440
<v Speaker 6>the story of the stealing of the plans. We saw

583
00:31:24.599 --> 00:31:27.319
<v Speaker 6>how they were stolen in Rogue one.

584
00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:28.519
<v Speaker 3>But now they're.

585
00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:32.960
<v Speaker 6>Taking you just a step before that, where how the

586
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:38.599
<v Speaker 6>bureaucracy and the evolution of the empire led to the

587
00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:43.640
<v Speaker 6>creation of this weapon of mass destruction That exactly hits

588
00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:47.559
<v Speaker 6>it on the head. The bureaucracy, the politics, the political

589
00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:51.559
<v Speaker 6>intrigue behind the scenes, where you have different politicians carrying

590
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:56.720
<v Speaker 6>favor with different factions, whether they be pro empire or

591
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.960
<v Speaker 6>pro underground rebellion, and how all all of these inner

592
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:04.160
<v Speaker 6>workings is what shaped the galaxy. And it gives you

593
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:10.960
<v Speaker 6>another another look at what you would consider the sides

594
00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:17.599
<v Speaker 6>of right and wrong, when really this is almost Republicans

595
00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:21.720
<v Speaker 6>and Democrats. That is, it is very very heavy in

596
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:25.519
<v Speaker 6>its political leanings, in who is who and the story

597
00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:29.039
<v Speaker 6>they're trying to tell about not necessarily one party, but

598
00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:34.720
<v Speaker 6>party specific overreach and party over zealousness about controlling the

599
00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:36.279
<v Speaker 6>narrative writ large.

600
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:39.880
<v Speaker 3>This is ultimately what happens, you know, And that's the

601
00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:43.440
<v Speaker 3>funny thing. Funny aha, and funny haha.

602
00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:46.079
<v Speaker 2>Where people complain I don't want politics in my Disney content.

603
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:49.359
<v Speaker 3>If you know Star Wars, it's nothing but politics.

604
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Sorry to you know, to you know, disabuse you of

605
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:56.119
<v Speaker 2>the notion that there are no politics in Star Wars.

606
00:32:56.279 --> 00:32:59.440
<v Speaker 2>It was built on politics. And this is talking about

607
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:02.240
<v Speaker 2>we go back and watch the Phantom Menace. It is

608
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:04.640
<v Speaker 2>almost exactly what's happening right now in America.

609
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:07.599
<v Speaker 6>And at the time we all mocked the whole trade

610
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:11.200
<v Speaker 6>war thing and all the Galactic Congress stuff as a

611
00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:13.799
<v Speaker 6>bunch of nonsense. We didn't like it, but it really

612
00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:18.079
<v Speaker 6>applies now it actually does. And you have the invasion

613
00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:19.640
<v Speaker 6>of Naboo. I'm getting ready to go deep.

614
00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:22.960
<v Speaker 2>You have the invasion of Naboo, and then you have

615
00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:25.920
<v Speaker 2>the Trade Viceroyce who said, what do you mean what invasion?

616
00:33:26.319 --> 00:33:28.599
<v Speaker 3>What are you talking about? There was no invasion.

617
00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:32.279
<v Speaker 2>We need to have an investigation into it, and how

618
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:35.920
<v Speaker 2>the bureaucracy and if you're talking about Naboo is Ukraine

619
00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:40.759
<v Speaker 2>at this point, and the Galactic Senate is basically of

620
00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:44.559
<v Speaker 2>Russia and they want to deny the invasion of There's

621
00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:48.079
<v Speaker 2>so many historical parallels to this world right now.

622
00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:49.319
<v Speaker 3>If you watch Star Wars.

623
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:51.720
<v Speaker 2>If you don't like to have politics and Star Wars mix,

624
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:55.279
<v Speaker 2>you've never been paying attention at all at all. As

625
00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:56.599
<v Speaker 2>a matter of fact, I think I have that clip

626
00:33:56.640 --> 00:33:59.000
<v Speaker 2>around here somewhere. Real quick, I can play that What

627
00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:00.920
<v Speaker 2>U is today? The twenty fifth? Yeah, I think it

628
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:03.960
<v Speaker 2>was twenty fourth or so. I have to come back

629
00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:05.720
<v Speaker 2>and find it. Maybe I'll find it after.

630
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:12.920
<v Speaker 6>The break, but definitely, Kathleen Kennedy retiring helps Star Wars,

631
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:16.119
<v Speaker 6>and it will help it moving forward.

632
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:19.719
<v Speaker 2>And and Or season two comes out in April. Correct, Yes,
