00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:24.239
<v Speaker 1>Kfi mo Kelly.

2
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:28.800
<v Speaker 2>We're live everywhere on YouTube, Instagram, and the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:32.679
<v Speaker 2>It is Monday, but what a glorious Monday it is.

4
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.159
<v Speaker 2>I can say the traffic wasn't too bad for me.

5
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:38.079
<v Speaker 2>I hear it was hell for Mark and Twalliver. That's

6
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:41.520
<v Speaker 2>not my problem because, as Mark says, it's always about me.

7
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:44.479
<v Speaker 3>So my drive was rather enjoyable, Thank you very much.

8
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:48.479
<v Speaker 3>I have never once said that, Oh it's always about you. Yes,

9
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.000
<v Speaker 3>oh that I say all the time. Not me, because

10
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:54.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm not an insane egomania, but about you.

11
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:56.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm only somewhat.

12
00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 2>Slightly, just barely narcissist tendency.

13
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:04.719
<v Speaker 3>If you say so, Your highness. Uh no, I don't

14
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:06.799
<v Speaker 3>know about your highness. I think that's a little bit much.

15
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 3>Did you have a good weekend, my Lee? How about

16
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:11.560
<v Speaker 3>how about dear Leader?

17
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

18
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Actually I did. It's interesting that you mentioned the weekend.

19
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Saturday morning, I went to work out at Clauding Cooper's

20
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:21.439
<v Speaker 2>free public workout.

21
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:23.599
<v Speaker 1>You gotta do that in the morning, don't you. Yes, yes,

22
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>it starts at it's pretty much on time. About nine am.

23
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Got there and they were.

24
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:32.439
<v Speaker 2>About maybe fifty to seventy five people and she's trying

25
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:33.239
<v Speaker 2>to kill all of us.

26
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:35.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't care what anyone says. She says, you can go.

27
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 2>At your own pace, don't worry about it, don't try

28
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:40.680
<v Speaker 2>to keep up. But you know, being a guy, the

29
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.439
<v Speaker 2>last thing you want to do is lag behind sixty

30
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 2>five other people. So I'm killing myself trying to keep

31
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.920
<v Speaker 2>up and act like I'm not really struggling.

32
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 1>To keep up. So she really isn't the nice exercise.

33
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:54.159
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, no, no, no, no, no. She's polite, but she's

34
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:55.079
<v Speaker 1>not nice.

35
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>There's a distinct difference. I mean, a drill instructor can

36
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 2>be polite at times, all right, not nice. She was

37
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.439
<v Speaker 2>trying to kill us. I say us because I looked

38
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 2>over at one point and there was Carnesia, and I

39
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:08.199
<v Speaker 2>didn't know that.

40
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:08.719
<v Speaker 1>She was coming.

41
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:10.560
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know she was going to show up because

42
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 2>earlier that morning, Daniel had texted me said that he

43
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:17.520
<v Speaker 2>couldn't come. So I'm thinking, like, neither Daniel nor Carnesia

44
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:21.000
<v Speaker 2>are coming to the free community workout with Claudine Cooper.

45
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:25.439
<v Speaker 2>And I saw Carnesia and I won't say the look

46
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:27.960
<v Speaker 2>that she had on her face. I'll let her explain

47
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:29.919
<v Speaker 2>the hell that I could tell that she was going

48
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 2>through Carnashia.

49
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:35.080
<v Speaker 4>You know, Mo, you did warm me that Friday. You

50
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.520
<v Speaker 4>said it's going to be hard. You think it's easy,

51
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 4>but it's going to be hard. And when I got there,

52
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:43.639
<v Speaker 4>I was not expecting the intensity that took place. I

53
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.639
<v Speaker 4>have to say I was sore all weekend.

54
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.879
<v Speaker 2>I didn't like the fact that there were women thirty

55
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.560
<v Speaker 2>years older than me am I life, yes, yes, who

56
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:57.000
<v Speaker 2>were having less issue, fewer issues with the workout than me.

57
00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 1>They were not struggling. They were yeah.

58
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.479
<v Speaker 2>Because for me, my hips are hurt and she's doing

59
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.879
<v Speaker 2>Claudine is notorious for doing squats. Yes, okay, you're like

60
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.599
<v Speaker 2>sitting in a chair for forty five minutes, except there's

61
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:11.280
<v Speaker 2>no chair there. And I see all these people who

62
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 2>should not be should be struggling more than me, okay,

63
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:20.520
<v Speaker 2>and they're not. And so my ego was like, okay,

64
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:21.439
<v Speaker 2>we're not gonna make it.

65
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Carneie.

66
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.319
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember the guy who was like maybe six

67
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.240
<v Speaker 2>two or so, had it was a basketball uniform and

68
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 2>he just said, I quit.

69
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:34.879
<v Speaker 1>He quit, he walked, and he hadn't been younger than me,

70
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:37.599
<v Speaker 1>he just quit.

71
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 2>So the struggle was real on Saturday, but it was necessary.

72
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad that Claudine did put us through our paces.

73
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.120
<v Speaker 2>If you have a chance to work out with Claudine

74
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Cooper by all means see her on Saturdays for her

75
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.080
<v Speaker 2>free community workouts at nine am.

76
00:03:57.520 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 1>But that was Saturday. Sunday.

77
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.719
<v Speaker 2>I didn't do anything except stay in the house and

78
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:06.319
<v Speaker 2>watch TV and recuperate because, like Carnacia, I was really sore,

79
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:08.560
<v Speaker 2>and after a certain point you're not expecting to be

80
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:10.960
<v Speaker 2>that sore where it makes it difficult to walk up

81
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:12.919
<v Speaker 2>and down the stairs. And so I said, let me

82
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.879
<v Speaker 2>just stay downstairs, watch some TV. And that's what I

83
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.360
<v Speaker 2>did for Sunday. And here we are Monday. We are

84
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 2>back at it. We have so much to cover today

85
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:24.360
<v Speaker 2>and this week it's day five, Day five of waiting

86
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.879
<v Speaker 2>for Eddie. As in waiting for Eddie Murphy. Nothing has

87
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:33.639
<v Speaker 2>happened yet, no declination, no type of regrets as far

88
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:36.279
<v Speaker 2>as coming on the show. So as far as I'm concerned,

89
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.399
<v Speaker 2>we are still in the mix. For those who don't know,

90
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.759
<v Speaker 2>let me reset. We sent out a request to Eddie

91
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:45.399
<v Speaker 2>Murphy and to Amazon Prime. We have connections over there.

92
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 2>We've done things with Amazon Prime Prime Video before to

93
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 2>get Eddie Murphy on the show.

94
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:54.680
<v Speaker 1>I said, it is my one must have.

95
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 2>If there's any person that I want to interview more

96
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.879
<v Speaker 2>than anyone in the world, it's Eddie Murphy. And there's

97
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:05.199
<v Speaker 2>been this ongoing joke about his personal publicist, Arnold Robinson

98
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 2>over at.

99
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Rogers and Rogers in Cown, who keeps shutting me down.

100
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:12.439
<v Speaker 2>Every single year I send a request, he'll send a

101
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:17.240
<v Speaker 2>decline like thirty minutes later. Can you at least consider it?

102
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's it's it's you know, it's considerate that

103
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 2>you sent me a response, But can you at least

104
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:27.079
<v Speaker 2>consider her my requests? And we've always hit a brick

105
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:31.240
<v Speaker 2>wall within minutes this time not so much so far.

106
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Now.

107
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 2>It could be that he thinks even less of me

108
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.040
<v Speaker 2>now and has no intentions of responding.

109
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:40.879
<v Speaker 5>No, hush your mouth. We must keep our eyes on

110
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.600
<v Speaker 5>the prize. He is thinking about it, He is considering it.

111
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.800
<v Speaker 5>He is saying to himself, you know, Moe has always

112
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:51.519
<v Speaker 5>been respectful, been humble in this request. He has always

113
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:55.399
<v Speaker 5>afforded me plenty of time, you know, on this film,

114
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:56.399
<v Speaker 5>on this one.

115
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Let me take this request more serious. Well, see, we

116
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.560
<v Speaker 2>shall see. There are a number of people. Hopefully they

117
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:07.000
<v Speaker 2>are listening right now, watching right now on YouTube to

118
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:11.199
<v Speaker 2>get a better sense, to better assess this show and

119
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.680
<v Speaker 2>the fit for Eddie. And I understand that if only

120
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.480
<v Speaker 2>because of working in entertainment, you always have to protect

121
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:20.920
<v Speaker 2>the talent. In their case, it's Eddie Murphy. You're not

122
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:23.839
<v Speaker 2>gonna put him in a situation where they feel that

123
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.360
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna get embarrassed or it's not going to be

124
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.399
<v Speaker 2>a good fit to get to generate good content. I

125
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.920
<v Speaker 2>completely get that. In other words, they're gonna vet me

126
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:33.639
<v Speaker 2>through and.

127
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 5>Through, and it's important to note and of course you

128
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:41.160
<v Speaker 5>the listener can't see the email and most sim but

129
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:45.199
<v Speaker 5>did a little bit of name dropping sure in the email,

130
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:49.319
<v Speaker 5>just to kind of highlight some comparable talent that has

131
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:53.360
<v Speaker 5>been on the show, the likes of of Delroy Lindo

132
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:57.160
<v Speaker 5>and all Alfrey Woodard and and a lot.

133
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:58.879
<v Speaker 1>Of other communities at Anthony Anderson.

134
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a lot of people I remembered and did not

135
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.519
<v Speaker 2>put in the email, like I forgot. I literally forgot

136
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:09.279
<v Speaker 2>to put George Wallace, Jay Leno, I mean others we

137
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:10.480
<v Speaker 2>had Centric the entertainer.

138
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:12.240
<v Speaker 1>I put that in there just so you can see.

139
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Look reputable comedians have been on this show.

140
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:20.399
<v Speaker 1>You led with Shatner. That's not going to be a

141
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:22.079
<v Speaker 1>List's not going to be a draw for Oh, I

142
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 1>think it will be. Yeah, he's on the list. I

143
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:25.680
<v Speaker 1>can't tell him.

144
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:28.160
<v Speaker 2>You know which names are going to be most important

145
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.399
<v Speaker 2>to them, But William Shatner is on the list.

146
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.519
<v Speaker 3>Now. A little point of clarification, Mo, when you were younger,

147
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:36.839
<v Speaker 3>did you take getting ghosted by a girl as a

148
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:38.680
<v Speaker 3>more positive sign than just a break up?

149
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:40.800
<v Speaker 2>When I was younger, there was no such thing as

150
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.439
<v Speaker 2>being ghosted. What did happen to me is that I

151
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:45.759
<v Speaker 2>would get a fake number. You go to the club,

152
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.000
<v Speaker 2>you talk to the woman and da da da da da,

153
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.399
<v Speaker 2>and you dance a few times and say, so, you know,

154
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:52.720
<v Speaker 2>how can I get in touch with you? This is

155
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:56.040
<v Speaker 2>pre email, so it was just the phone number. It

156
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:58.560
<v Speaker 2>may not have even been a cell phone, depending on

157
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.600
<v Speaker 2>the year. So you just ask for the number. And

158
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.720
<v Speaker 2>there were times I know that the woman would give

159
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:06.600
<v Speaker 2>me a fake number and you run into that woman,

160
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:08.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, next time at the club.

161
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:10.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but that's all a part of the game. Mark,

162
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.800
<v Speaker 5>you play the numbers game just to get the number

163
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:16.399
<v Speaker 5>one with your boys, you get as many numbers as possible.

164
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:19.079
<v Speaker 5>That one number that you may not even been thought

165
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.600
<v Speaker 5>about turns out to be a real one, and now

166
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.720
<v Speaker 5>you and your your boys are like, ah, man.

167
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.839
<v Speaker 3>I feel like you're not really responding to the spirit

168
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:30.079
<v Speaker 3>of my question, though, which is, if you get blown off,

169
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.320
<v Speaker 3>does that still leave a remnant of hope with you

170
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.320
<v Speaker 3>as opposed to just being told to get lost?

171
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:38.120
<v Speaker 2>I would look, I would think that I've been blown

172
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:41.759
<v Speaker 2>off respectfully by Arnold Robinson for the past fifteen years.

173
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.960
<v Speaker 2>It's this didn't ghost me, but you know he was polite,

174
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:49.480
<v Speaker 2>but it wasn't a yes. But here I am still,

175
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, asking for the number, asking for the date,

176
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:54.440
<v Speaker 2>want to take take her out?

177
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:56.240
<v Speaker 3>As they say, I want you to know I'm going

178
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.399
<v Speaker 3>to be here for you. Like Ducky Mark when you're

179
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:02.440
<v Speaker 3>let down. Mark, Look, we are not dealing.

180
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:08.279
<v Speaker 1>I think it's pretty in pink. I think Ducky was

181
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:08.799
<v Speaker 1>a coward.

182
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:09.720
<v Speaker 3>That was not.

183
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:14.320
<v Speaker 5>I've never been afraid to approach any any kool aid

184
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:16.919
<v Speaker 5>that's you gotta shoot you shot I have.

185
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I can honestly say I think you've shot it.

186
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:24.200
<v Speaker 2>I've never been apprehensive about approaching a girl.

187
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:26.440
<v Speaker 1>If I were was a boy at the age at

188
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:27.159
<v Speaker 1>that time.

189
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Or a woman. I was okay with being turned down.

190
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:34.360
<v Speaker 2>I would more be upset with myself if I didn't know.

191
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:40.679
<v Speaker 1>I would rather know there was It's not about thinking

192
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:42.440
<v Speaker 1>that there's no woman out of my link.

193
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.399
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't that. It's just I knew at a very

194
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:47.360
<v Speaker 2>young age I had the gift of gab. Look at

195
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:51.840
<v Speaker 2>me now. But it it it? Uh, how should I

196
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:55.600
<v Speaker 2>say this? It brought a lot of good things into

197
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:58.000
<v Speaker 2>my life in the dating world.

198
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Because you say, like, yeah, it's like they said, I,

199
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:02.799
<v Speaker 1>how did you end up with her?

200
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.039
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. It must be something I said. And

201
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.919
<v Speaker 3>you think that's going to translate to Eddie Murphy.

202
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:14.399
<v Speaker 2>No, I think it is applicable to all facets of

203
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:15.120
<v Speaker 2>one's life.

204
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:19.679
<v Speaker 3>I see, you ever read a book called don Quixote?

205
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm not chasing windmills? Okay, I see, So does that

206
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:25.519
<v Speaker 1>answer your question?

207
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.320
<v Speaker 5>Wait? Mark, aren't you the one that was literally talking

208
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:30.039
<v Speaker 5>about we need to focus on the secret?

209
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Last week? I forget you know, I know it was

210
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:35.679
<v Speaker 1>a long time. No, No, that's okay.

211
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:38.000
<v Speaker 5>We got to go to the water that said, Moe,

212
00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:41.759
<v Speaker 5>you must practice the secret, the art of calling it

213
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:44.480
<v Speaker 5>into your life, putting it out into the universe. He

214
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:47.639
<v Speaker 5>didn't manifesting it as if it was going to happen.

215
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>No matter what. I have such a stellar bomby the

216
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:51.159
<v Speaker 1>far right box.

217
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:53.559
<v Speaker 3>He did say that it's it's been so long, I

218
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:54.759
<v Speaker 3>barely remember saying that.

219
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:55.840
<v Speaker 1>But I don't.

220
00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:57.799
<v Speaker 3>What I'm saying is that I'm not sure the secret

221
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:00.200
<v Speaker 3>worked out for you. I don't think it works for everyone.

222
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:02.480
<v Speaker 1>That's not how the secret works.

223
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:05.840
<v Speaker 2>Don't yet to be seen. Okay, But no one's rendered

224
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:10.279
<v Speaker 2>judgment yet. We haven't gotten a no yet, you haven't

225
00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:11.879
<v Speaker 2>gotten anything that's right.

226
00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:13.000
<v Speaker 1>It's inconclusive.

227
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.799
<v Speaker 2>Don't put that into existence, right, that's the answer that

228
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:16.879
<v Speaker 2>is so negative.

229
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:19.279
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, no, you misunderstand. I am one hundred percent

230
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.000
<v Speaker 3>on your side. I just I just don't. I don't

231
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.240
<v Speaker 3>want you to just decompensate and be a puddle of

232
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:27.000
<v Speaker 3>tears when it doesn't happen. I'm not fragile like you.

233
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.639
<v Speaker 3>I said, Well, nobody is, okay if I am six sport.

234
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:31.320
<v Speaker 3>We have a metal update when we come back.

235
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:34.039
<v Speaker 2>We're live on YouTube, Instagram, and the iHeartRadio app, and

236
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:35.600
<v Speaker 2>before the end of the week we'll be live on

237
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Facebook as well.

238
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:37.799
<v Speaker 1>We're just broadening the empire.

239
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:41.960
<v Speaker 6>You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from

240
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:43.639
<v Speaker 6>KFI AM six forty.

241
00:11:49.639 --> 00:12:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I remember standing right across me. When I remember.

242
00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:14.679
<v Speaker 2>Next to me, kfis Later with Kelly. We're live on YouTube,

243
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Instagram and the iHeartRadio app. The headline will read Metro

244
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.080
<v Speaker 2>security guard shoot suspect who stabbed him as in the

245
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Metro security guard in North Hollywood. Three hospitalized in stabbing

246
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:31.279
<v Speaker 2>shooting outside North Hollywood Metro station. If you've been listening

247
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.120
<v Speaker 2>to the show, we've talked at length about the North

248
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Hollywood Metro station, how Metro was using that as a

249
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:44.039
<v Speaker 2>prime example of how they've lowered crime, how they've cleaned

250
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:46.720
<v Speaker 2>up one of the most high profile stations.

251
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:49.120
<v Speaker 1>And I said, mmm, I don't think so.

252
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:54.200
<v Speaker 2>And I also said, if you remember that safety is

253
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:58.720
<v Speaker 2>about perception. You feel safe like they can put out

254
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.559
<v Speaker 2>the stats and you think it's that crime is down

255
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:05.399
<v Speaker 2>six percent. You can't feel that. You can't feel do

256
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:07.600
<v Speaker 2>I feel six percent safe? For no, of course not.

257
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:12.639
<v Speaker 2>You either feel safe or you feel unsafe. And I

258
00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:16.080
<v Speaker 2>said one of the largest variables in the equation of

259
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:21.159
<v Speaker 2>feeling safe armed Metro was to have that visible police presence.

260
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Metro does have armed security on a limited level. But

261
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:33.159
<v Speaker 2>if I tell you that armed security was stabbed after

262
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:37.480
<v Speaker 2>stabbing a writer or a passer by, then I ought to.

263
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Tell you how dangerous it is.

264
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:41.519
<v Speaker 2>If they're willing to stab the guy with the gun,

265
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:43.639
<v Speaker 2>what do you think they'll do to your child? What

266
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:45.559
<v Speaker 2>do you think they'll do to your wife? What do

267
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.399
<v Speaker 2>you think they'll do to an average joe like you

268
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:53.159
<v Speaker 2>or me? This is not for effect or hyperbole. Is

269
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:57.240
<v Speaker 2>this happened at six seventeen pm on Saturday? What does

270
00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:00.759
<v Speaker 2>that mean? The sun is still outside it right now

271
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:04.000
<v Speaker 2>and we're an hour later. The sun is out on

272
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:08.759
<v Speaker 2>a Saturday, so there are probably people everywhere in North Hollywood. No,

273
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:12.360
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't rush hour, but it's a Saturday, in other words,

274
00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:16.720
<v Speaker 2>during a high traffic period, and you had someone out

275
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:21.399
<v Speaker 2>there who stabbed two different people, including an armed Metro security.

276
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:24.480
<v Speaker 1>So they had to wind up shooting the guy.

277
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:28.559
<v Speaker 2>And I'm glad that there was armed security there to

278
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:33.200
<v Speaker 2>handle it. Imagine if that person, that security officer was

279
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:36.159
<v Speaker 2>not there, probably more people would be harmed.

280
00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:38.039
<v Speaker 1>But there are a number of things in this story.

281
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:40.600
<v Speaker 2>I think that we need to take note of okay,

282
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:43.840
<v Speaker 2>one broad daylight, not in the middle of the day,

283
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:47.440
<v Speaker 2>in the evening, but it's early enough where you can't say, well,

284
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:49.000
<v Speaker 2>it was late at night. You know, it could have

285
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:51.519
<v Speaker 2>happened anytime, because that's what happens late at night. Can't

286
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:56.080
<v Speaker 2>say that, can't say that we had armed security and

287
00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:59.600
<v Speaker 2>that wasn't deterrent enough. If they're willing to shoot police,

288
00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:04.120
<v Speaker 2>are on security, stab armed security. I'm sure they willing

289
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:06.639
<v Speaker 2>to stab you and me. That should not be at

290
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:10.399
<v Speaker 2>the forefront of our minds when we're using Metro.

291
00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:14.679
<v Speaker 1>On a Saturday. We're not talking about midnight.

292
00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.279
<v Speaker 2>We're not talking about at a time where there's a

293
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:21.039
<v Speaker 2>likelihood that there's going to be trouble or a.

294
00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:22.759
<v Speaker 1>Homeless person is just no, no, no, no.

295
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.120
<v Speaker 2>We're talking about a Saturday in which people probably could

296
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:28.480
<v Speaker 2>have been going to I don't know, Universal City, which

297
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:32.080
<v Speaker 2>is only one stop away going shopping. North Hollywood has

298
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:35.000
<v Speaker 2>been known for shopping. It's not one of those high

299
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:38.720
<v Speaker 2>crime areas in and of itself where you can say, well, damn,

300
00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, it is obviously that part of town, so

301
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:43.559
<v Speaker 2>you should, you know, be on the lookout for that. No,

302
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:49.360
<v Speaker 2>it's not that, but that is what our Metro represents now.

303
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.639
<v Speaker 2>It represents crime and lack of safety. And it's not

304
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:57.559
<v Speaker 2>because I said it. I'm just reading you the headlines.

305
00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:00.120
<v Speaker 2>We don't need to really get into the story, but

306
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.240
<v Speaker 2>we can if we want. Two people were hospitalized after

307
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:05.720
<v Speaker 2>one of them was shot, that was the Metro security guard,

308
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:09.120
<v Speaker 2>and the other was stabbed at a Metro station in

309
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:13.200
<v Speaker 2>North Hollywood. That's the whole damn story. That's all you

310
00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:18.039
<v Speaker 2>really need to know. According to the LAPD, the suspect

311
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:22.080
<v Speaker 2>had an approached a Metro security guard regarding a parking citation.

312
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:25.159
<v Speaker 2>So this is not a random homeless person. This is

313
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.039
<v Speaker 2>a person who actually drove there and parked his car.

314
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:31.639
<v Speaker 2>At one point, the suspect took out a knife and

315
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.799
<v Speaker 2>stabbed the security guard. So what is the security guard

316
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:36.720
<v Speaker 2>supposed to do? He's got a gun. Well, if you're

317
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:38.559
<v Speaker 2>not going to use it, then you're probably not ever

318
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:40.759
<v Speaker 2>gonna use it. The security guard then pulled out a

319
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:44.840
<v Speaker 2>gun and shot the suspect twice. Yes, yes, that is

320
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:48.240
<v Speaker 2>the correct response when someone shanks you. If someone shanks

321
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:51.159
<v Speaker 2>you and you got a gun, yes shoot them. Both

322
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:53.960
<v Speaker 2>were taken to a local hospital and are expected to survive.

323
00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:56.840
<v Speaker 2>No other details were immediately known. And there's something else

324
00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:59.639
<v Speaker 2>we talk about the craziness of the world we live in.

325
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.039
<v Speaker 2>This happened over a parking citation. I don't know what

326
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:05.599
<v Speaker 2>the Metro security guard said to this person who was

327
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:08.200
<v Speaker 2>mad about the parking citation. But this goes back to

328
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:10.000
<v Speaker 2>why I talk about Mark Runner. I wanted him to

329
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:11.799
<v Speaker 2>live to see tomorrow. Thank you.

330
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:13.039
<v Speaker 1>You just don't excuse me.

331
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:17.200
<v Speaker 2>You just don't know how crazy someone may be. This

332
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:20.160
<v Speaker 2>is over a parking citation, if we believe the story

333
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:21.079
<v Speaker 2>as it's presented.

334
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:23.279
<v Speaker 3>No, you're right about this, and I hate to admit it.

335
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.400
<v Speaker 3>I led the seven o'clock with a story about a

336
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:31.160
<v Speaker 3>shooting that was over a parking spot. This stuff's getting intense, and.

337
00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:34.839
<v Speaker 2>It's going to get worse, if only because it seems

338
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:39.359
<v Speaker 2>like when people start believing that it's normal and it

339
00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:43.119
<v Speaker 2>does not have the same impact emotional impact, then there

340
00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:45.559
<v Speaker 2>will be more of it. You get numb to it.

341
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:49.880
<v Speaker 2>You're not necessarily outraged. You're just less and less surprised. Oh,

342
00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:52.759
<v Speaker 2>someone got stabbed on a Metro. Is anyone surprised about

343
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:55.400
<v Speaker 2>that anymore? I hope not. I hope not. Because it

344
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:59.880
<v Speaker 2>happens frequently enough where nobody should be surprised. And unfortunately,

345
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:05.559
<v Speaker 2>altercations over a parking space or a parking citation are

346
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:08.519
<v Speaker 2>less and less unusual as well, which says to me

347
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:10.759
<v Speaker 2>we'll probably have more of them. But before I get

348
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:14.599
<v Speaker 2>too far afield, this is just more evidence that, for

349
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:19.119
<v Speaker 2>whatever reasons, La Metro is a magnet to crime and

350
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:22.640
<v Speaker 2>is unsafe. And it's not because I say so, is

351
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:24.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm quite sure Metro would like to have you believe.

352
00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:27.960
<v Speaker 2>It's the media, is how we are positioning it is

353
00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:31.119
<v Speaker 2>how we're presenting it. We have a bias against Metro.

354
00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:34.640
<v Speaker 2>It's not what we're saying. I am pointing to stabbings,

355
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:38.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm pointing to shootings. I am poorting two different random

356
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:42.920
<v Speaker 2>acts of violence on the trains, on the platforms, on

357
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:47.680
<v Speaker 2>the buses. And it's not going to change until there's

358
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:51.720
<v Speaker 2>a change at Metro, and not before. Its later with

359
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:54.279
<v Speaker 2>mo Kelly, we're live on YouTube, we're live on Instagram,

360
00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:57.799
<v Speaker 2>we're live on the iHeartRadio app. And when we come back, unfortunately,

361
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:00.240
<v Speaker 2>it's a little bit more bad news to start off

362
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:02.920
<v Speaker 2>this week than good news. I don't want to talk

363
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:07.279
<v Speaker 2>about what happened in Colorado. We know what happened in Colorado.

364
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:10.559
<v Speaker 2>I do want to talk about how we here in

365
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:15.839
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles always have to be mindful given what happened

366
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:16.640
<v Speaker 2>in Colorado.

367
00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:17.480
<v Speaker 1>We'll do that next.

368
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:21.480
<v Speaker 6>You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from

369
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:26.240
<v Speaker 6>KFI AM six forty when moo.

370
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:27.599
<v Speaker 1>Kelly on.

371
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:37.000
<v Speaker 2>And six live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, YouTube, and Instagram.

372
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:42.000
<v Speaker 2>And we usually don't necessarily talk about terror attacks on

373
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:45.200
<v Speaker 2>this show for a number of reasons, but there is

374
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.599
<v Speaker 2>something to be learned by what happened in Colorado over

375
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:51.880
<v Speaker 2>the weekend. By now you should have heard about how

376
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:54.319
<v Speaker 2>four women and four men between in the ages of

377
00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:57.519
<v Speaker 2>fifty two and eighty eight were taking to hospitals in

378
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Denver for treatment Sunday yesterday, after a suspect used a

379
00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:06.400
<v Speaker 2>makeshift flamethrower and threw an incendiary device into a crowd

380
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:09.240
<v Speaker 2>walking in a weekly event to call for the return

381
00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:15.039
<v Speaker 2>of the remaining hostages taken by Hamas militants on October

382
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.880
<v Speaker 2>seventh of twenty twenty three. This is not about that,

383
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:23.279
<v Speaker 2>but there's a lesson which can be learned from that.

384
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:24.839
<v Speaker 1>And here's what I mean.

385
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:31.119
<v Speaker 2>Although that attack with the flamethrower happened in Denver, Colorado.

386
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:35.079
<v Speaker 2>There are lessons that we can learn from it. I'm

387
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:37.960
<v Speaker 2>talking about you who may live in Los Angeles. I'm

388
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:40.920
<v Speaker 2>talking about you who may live in Orange County, San

389
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Diego County. You may think, well, that was in Colorado.

390
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:46.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't have to worry about that. Well, that has

391
00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:48.400
<v Speaker 2>to do with Israel and Hamas. I don't have to

392
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:51.440
<v Speaker 2>worry about that. No, No, you actually do have to

393
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:55.880
<v Speaker 2>worry about it. And the difference between America as a

394
00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:59.759
<v Speaker 2>country and other countries. It comes down to, and this

395
00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:02.000
<v Speaker 2>is to sound very cliche, but it's true, it comes

396
00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:05.240
<v Speaker 2>down to freedom. And because we do have a certain

397
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:08.799
<v Speaker 2>amount of freedom. We don't have unlimited freedom. But because

398
00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:12.559
<v Speaker 2>we do have freedom, there is more of a possibility

399
00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:17.640
<v Speaker 2>and arguably more of a likelihood that a terrorist attack

400
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:20.519
<v Speaker 2>is going to happen. You don't have these types of

401
00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:26.680
<v Speaker 2>terrorist attacks in say Russia, China, North Korea. That's not

402
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:32.200
<v Speaker 2>by coincidence, that's by design. People don't have actual freedom.

403
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:35.559
<v Speaker 2>In fact, even when I was in South Korea, the

404
00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:40.799
<v Speaker 2>amount of surveillance in that country severely limits the options

405
00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:44.480
<v Speaker 2>of people to do as they please. On one hand,

406
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:49.799
<v Speaker 2>it prevents certain acts of violence or mass murder, but

407
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:53.200
<v Speaker 2>you know there's a cost to it. You are limited

408
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:55.759
<v Speaker 2>as far as where you can go, You're limited in

409
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:59.960
<v Speaker 2>terms of your privacy. You're aware that you're being served,

410
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.519
<v Speaker 2>veiled at all times. I mean that's just in South Korea.

411
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:07.279
<v Speaker 2>We don't have that here. Yes, there are cameras everywhere,

412
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:09.279
<v Speaker 2>but it's just not the same. And if you've traveled

413
00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:13.119
<v Speaker 2>to like's say, Korea or China or even Russia, you

414
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:16.440
<v Speaker 2>know it's different. It's different. We don't have that here

415
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:19.480
<v Speaker 2>in the United States. But since we do have this

416
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:23.960
<v Speaker 2>freedom and also with it a greater danger, I would

417
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:28.240
<v Speaker 2>say there's a larger responsibility for you and for me

418
00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:33.359
<v Speaker 2>to take active roles in our own safety. There's nothing

419
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:37.200
<v Speaker 2>which really could have prevented what happened in Denver from

420
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.319
<v Speaker 2>what I understand and bolder, I don't know exactly what

421
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:43.720
<v Speaker 2>law could have been on the books or what type

422
00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:48.039
<v Speaker 2>of surveillance which could have stopped what happened and seemed

423
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:52.960
<v Speaker 2>to be low tech and very little preparation. Now it

424
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:55.720
<v Speaker 2>could have been planned for quite some time, but the

425
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:58.240
<v Speaker 2>ingredients in it, I don't know. I there's much we

426
00:22:58.240 --> 00:22:59.920
<v Speaker 2>could have done about it, And as far as I know,

427
00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Mark correct me if I'm wrong. Flamethrowers or their approximations

428
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:06.079
<v Speaker 2>are still legal in most states.

429
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:08.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm making furious no, no, no.

430
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:10.680
<v Speaker 3>I wish I could give you a definitive answer on

431
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:13.680
<v Speaker 3>the legality of flamethrowers nationwide, but I'm gonna have to

432
00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:14.279
<v Speaker 3>look that one up.

433
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm pretty sure because I've had similar debates and

434
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:20.599
<v Speaker 2>discussions with other people about what is legal or isn't legal.

435
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:22.759
<v Speaker 2>Like you can't have your own tank that you can

436
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.000
<v Speaker 2>drive down the street, and you know that you can armor.

437
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:29.000
<v Speaker 2>There's certain weapons and vehicles you just can't have legally.

438
00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:32.319
<v Speaker 2>But if I'm not mistaken, you can't have a flame

439
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:37.480
<v Speaker 2>thrower in most places. You can't use it however you want, obviously,

440
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:40.640
<v Speaker 2>but it's not illegal to possess. My point is, I

441
00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:43.440
<v Speaker 2>don't know how much we can actually prevent here in

442
00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:44.680
<v Speaker 2>this country.

443
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:47.119
<v Speaker 1>But all the question, the conversations we have.

444
00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:50.440
<v Speaker 2>About not stopping at gas stations at night, or I

445
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:53.880
<v Speaker 2>may have kidding, say, you know, I don't go to

446
00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:58.079
<v Speaker 2>seven to eleven, It's all about this one singular idea.

447
00:23:58.920 --> 00:24:00.599
<v Speaker 1>We have to be aware of our.

448
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Surroundings and the people who are around us at all times.

449
00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:08.400
<v Speaker 2>That's about all we can control. We have to be

450
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:14.519
<v Speaker 2>aware of what may be a target where you're in

451
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:18.160
<v Speaker 2>a space where maybe something could happen. And there's not

452
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:20.640
<v Speaker 2>a day in which I do not go out. I'm

453
00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:23.160
<v Speaker 2>talking about if I'm going to work, if I'm going

454
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:26.480
<v Speaker 2>to the movies, if I'm going to an amusement park,

455
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:31.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm always conscious of something major and disastrous possibly happening.

456
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:34.000
<v Speaker 3>I have an answer for you, by the way, go ahead.

457
00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:38.519
<v Speaker 3>Flamethrowers are broadly legal to own personally, except in Maryland,

458
00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:41.119
<v Speaker 3>where they're banned, but here in California they require a

459
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:47.920
<v Speaker 3>permit Maryland skipping ahead. California modifies units to reduce their

460
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:50.279
<v Speaker 3>range to less than ten feet. And this is from

461
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:53.680
<v Speaker 3>a site called throwflame dot com. There's a site devoted

462
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:53.920
<v Speaker 3>to this.

463
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:55.279
<v Speaker 1>There you go.

464
00:24:56.039 --> 00:24:58.720
<v Speaker 2>We can't prevent everything, we can't stop everything, but we

465
00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:02.039
<v Speaker 2>can be a way aware of as much as possible

466
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:05.839
<v Speaker 2>before we even walk into those situations. I am never

467
00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:09.000
<v Speaker 2>on a higher alert than when I'm like in a

468
00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:12.720
<v Speaker 2>mall or in an open space. I don't really go

469
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:17.839
<v Speaker 2>to concerts anymore, but large gatherings of people because that's

470
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:19.440
<v Speaker 2>the world we live in now. And if there's a

471
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:23.079
<v Speaker 2>lesson which can be learned from what happened in Colorado,

472
00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:29.119
<v Speaker 2>regardless of who the intended targets may have been, if

473
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:31.359
<v Speaker 2>you've lived in the city long enough that there is

474
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:33.960
<v Speaker 2>such a thing as wrong place, wrong time. There is

475
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:36.880
<v Speaker 2>such a thing as a stray bullet. There is such

476
00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:40.559
<v Speaker 2>a thing as the unintended consequences. There is such a

477
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:43.559
<v Speaker 2>thing that something was not meant for you, but unfortunately

478
00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:48.799
<v Speaker 2>it ended up including you. The takeaway with what happened

479
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:54.799
<v Speaker 2>in Colorado politics, aside the specifics acide, is that we

480
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:57.400
<v Speaker 2>always have to be vigilant. We always have to be

481
00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:01.640
<v Speaker 2>first and foremost aware of our surroundings, concern with our

482
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:05.640
<v Speaker 2>own personal safety, our own group safety, and then we

483
00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:09.480
<v Speaker 2>stand a better chance if and when something could happen.

484
00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:14.079
<v Speaker 2>I've never been in a quote unquote mass shooting, but

485
00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:17.640
<v Speaker 2>I have been in situations a number of times in

486
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:20.920
<v Speaker 2>which shots have rung out, and you have to actively

487
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:25.359
<v Speaker 2>think in advance what you're going to do before it happens,

488
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:29.599
<v Speaker 2>not after it happens. You have to actively imagine. You

489
00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:33.400
<v Speaker 2>have to have a healthy enough imagination to see the

490
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:37.960
<v Speaker 2>worst of a situation before it happens, and That's something

491
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:40.559
<v Speaker 2>that we talk about in self defense and martial arts

492
00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:43.599
<v Speaker 2>all the time. Most of the time self defense comes

493
00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:46.200
<v Speaker 2>down to the decisions that you plan to make in

494
00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:50.200
<v Speaker 2>advance before something happens, so if it does, you can

495
00:26:50.319 --> 00:26:55.599
<v Speaker 2>just react, as opposed to freezing and not knowing what

496
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:58.799
<v Speaker 2>to do or where to go or.

497
00:26:58.839 --> 00:27:00.559
<v Speaker 1>How you're going to contact someone.

498
00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:02.960
<v Speaker 2>And that's what I would want people to take away

499
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:06.400
<v Speaker 2>from this, to be as safe as possible humanly possible,

500
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:08.960
<v Speaker 2>because you can't control what some idiot is going to do.

501
00:27:09.119 --> 00:27:11.599
<v Speaker 2>You can't control what some crazy person is going to do.

502
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:14.960
<v Speaker 2>You can't control what someone has an agenda or has

503
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:18.599
<v Speaker 2>hate in their heart and going to attack.

504
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:20.559
<v Speaker 1>A particular group of people. I not.

505
00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:23.039
<v Speaker 2>It's like to be sitting on the corner and have

506
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:26.559
<v Speaker 2>people drive by in a car and throw rocks and

507
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:29.359
<v Speaker 2>drinks and stuff at me just because I was black,

508
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:31.319
<v Speaker 2>and I know it was because of that, because of

509
00:27:31.359 --> 00:27:34.319
<v Speaker 2>what they called me as they were driving by. Now

510
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:38.279
<v Speaker 2>today it could be someone who's going to start shooting.

511
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:41.599
<v Speaker 2>They could throw a Molotov cocktail. But my point is

512
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:45.119
<v Speaker 2>you have to be ready in advance and know in

513
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:47.440
<v Speaker 2>advance that wherever you are, you could be in a

514
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:50.359
<v Speaker 2>movie theater, you could be in a mall, you could

515
00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:53.039
<v Speaker 2>be in a church service, you could be in a synagogue.

516
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:58.079
<v Speaker 2>All these places have been flash points for violence against

517
00:27:58.119 --> 00:28:00.319
<v Speaker 2>a group of people. The only thing that you can

518
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:03.920
<v Speaker 2>do in this free society to bring it all together

519
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:08.920
<v Speaker 2>is take your own life into your own hands and

520
00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:12.000
<v Speaker 2>make sure that it's the most important thing and on

521
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:15.240
<v Speaker 2>your mind each and every time you walk out that door.

522
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:17.480
<v Speaker 1>That's it.

523
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:19.599
<v Speaker 2>It's Later with Mo Kelly CAFI AM six forty, weell

524
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:22.880
<v Speaker 2>ive everywhere, the iHeartRadio app, YouTube, and Instagram.

525
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:26.640
<v Speaker 6>You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from

526
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:30.160
<v Speaker 6>KFI AM six forty KFI.

527
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:32.680
<v Speaker 2>It's Later with Mo Kelly Live on YouTube, Instagram and

528
00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:36.680
<v Speaker 2>the iHeartRadio app. And this has to be unfortunate news

529
00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:41.759
<v Speaker 2>given that Disney is just starting its seventy year celebration. Well,

530
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:45.599
<v Speaker 2>Disney also has announced it has cut hundreds of employees.

531
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:50.400
<v Speaker 2>And let's not forget this is the latest round of layoffs.

532
00:28:50.720 --> 00:28:55.720
<v Speaker 2>So this is another deep round of cuts. People close

533
00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:59.160
<v Speaker 2>to the Bourbank office confirmed the cuts, which are hitting

534
00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:06.119
<v Speaker 2>film and television marketing teams, television publicity, casting and development,

535
00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:10.000
<v Speaker 2>as well as corporate financial operations. And this is just

536
00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:15.240
<v Speaker 2>three months after you may remember, Disney gave the acts

537
00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.839
<v Speaker 2>to two hundred employees, including at ABC News in New

538
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:21.920
<v Speaker 2>York and Disney owned entertainment networks. And this is what

539
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I think people should remember. When we say Disney, it

540
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:29.279
<v Speaker 2>doesn't necessarily mean the company Disney.

541
00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:31.039
<v Speaker 1>It could be its subsidiaries.

542
00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:34.039
<v Speaker 2>It could be ABC, it could be ESPN, and it

543
00:29:34.079 --> 00:29:36.920
<v Speaker 2>could be the amusement parks, it could be the movies,

544
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:39.319
<v Speaker 2>it could be television. And there's so many facets to

545
00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:43.519
<v Speaker 2>the Disney corporation. But still, when you're laying off hundreds

546
00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:46.160
<v Speaker 2>of people, that is never good news, especially against the

547
00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:51.240
<v Speaker 2>backdrop of the seventy year celebration of Disneyland. This is

548
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:55.240
<v Speaker 2>the fourth round of layoffs in less than the year.

549
00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:01.119
<v Speaker 2>We knew that when former CEO Bob Eiger came back

550
00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:05.359
<v Speaker 2>to the company to reassume the role of CEO that

551
00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:08.119
<v Speaker 2>they were going to be a lot of changes. His predecessor,

552
00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Bob Japek, took the company in a lot of weird directions.

553
00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Was over I thought, overcharging people at the amusement parks.

554
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:18.759
<v Speaker 2>He was making a lot of changes which were unpopular

555
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:22.359
<v Speaker 2>for supporters of the company and the brand and also

556
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:26.319
<v Speaker 2>I think turned off people to the brand. So there

557
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:29.519
<v Speaker 2>were some financial issues. And then Bob Iger is trying

558
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:32.599
<v Speaker 2>to write the ship at least financially, and that's different

559
00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:35.079
<v Speaker 2>from the vision of the company going forward.

560
00:30:35.759 --> 00:30:37.400
<v Speaker 1>But the fourth.

561
00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:40.799
<v Speaker 2>Round of layoffs in less than a year, I don't

562
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:44.119
<v Speaker 2>know how anyone could work at Disney on I'll just

563
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:46.240
<v Speaker 2>say just an employee level or even a senior man

564
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:51.000
<v Speaker 2>management level and feel comfortable about their future given the

565
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:54.400
<v Speaker 2>number of layoffs in just the past twelve months. Now,

566
00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:57.720
<v Speaker 2>some would say, and including Bob Iger, has said that

567
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:02.279
<v Speaker 2>Disney slash Walt Disney has been pumping out too many

568
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:06.279
<v Speaker 2>shows in movies, some thinking to keep up with Netflix.

569
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:09.480
<v Speaker 2>There were a lot of series on Disney Plus are

570
00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:12.440
<v Speaker 2>like I don't know, And there are some movies that

571
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:15.119
<v Speaker 2>were both in theaters and also on Disney Plus like

572
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:17.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, and yes, and maybe they need to

573
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:20.200
<v Speaker 2>be more judicious with how they spend their money. And

574
00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:23.720
<v Speaker 2>also the landscape has changed. Now you put something in

575
00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:28.480
<v Speaker 2>the theater now, it's less likely to succeed. Why because

576
00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:32.440
<v Speaker 2>people have other alternatives. It's not just Disney in the

577
00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:36.680
<v Speaker 2>movies or Disney Plus at home. They're competing against streaming

578
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:42.039
<v Speaker 2>and all other platforms. It's not just a sum you know,

579
00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:42.759
<v Speaker 2>it's not just a.

580
00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Zero sum game where it's going to be this or that.

581
00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, if I don't go to movies on a stay

582
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:51.279
<v Speaker 2>home and stream Disney Plus, no, you might be streaming Netflix,

583
00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:53.759
<v Speaker 2>you might be streaming Peacock, you might be streaming I

584
00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:55.480
<v Speaker 2>don't know, Paramount Plus.

585
00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:57.359
<v Speaker 1>Pluto, TV, Hulu.

586
00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:02.359
<v Speaker 2>There are so many competing outlets and platforms for what

587
00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:04.880
<v Speaker 2>was just that Disney Eye.

588
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:08.319
<v Speaker 1>And now if you make a mistake, it's magnified.

589
00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:13.119
<v Speaker 2>When a movie bombs like snow White, for example, that

590
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:17.160
<v Speaker 2>sets a corporation back, and it also changed the trajectory

591
00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:19.000
<v Speaker 2>of what a corporation is going to do.

592
00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Now you have Lelo and Stitch. That's fine, that's great.

593
00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:26.039
<v Speaker 2>Didn't save any of these jobs. Certain things just cannot

594
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:30.519
<v Speaker 2>be undone. But all companies to a certain degree have

595
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:35.039
<v Speaker 2>this i'll say rebalancing, trying to find their equilibrium, trying

596
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:38.480
<v Speaker 2>to find a way forward and get their stride that

597
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:41.880
<v Speaker 2>they once had. But it's been a difficult i would

598
00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:46.279
<v Speaker 2>say two years or so, because remember Disney was feeling

599
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:49.240
<v Speaker 2>all sorts of pressure after promising investors that it's direct

600
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:53.480
<v Speaker 2>to consumer services. That's Disney Plus, that's Hulu and ESPN

601
00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:56.200
<v Speaker 2>Plus was going to achieve profitability.

602
00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Last year people forgot Disney.

603
00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:00.119
<v Speaker 2>Plus and those other streaming platforms with the set, so

604
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:03.519
<v Speaker 2>maybe Netflix, they were not turning a profit, and it

605
00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:06.200
<v Speaker 2>was such a bargain. When Disney Plus first came out.

606
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:07.400
<v Speaker 2>I got it for like six ninety nine.

607
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:10.200
<v Speaker 1>It's like, wow, all this content, six ninety nine, Sure,

608
00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:11.000
<v Speaker 1>sign me up.

609
00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:13.880
<v Speaker 2>And then all of a sudden they realized that wasn't

610
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:21.279
<v Speaker 2>really financially feasible as a revenue generating source, and so

611
00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Disney tried to pump out all these extra series and

612
00:33:24.559 --> 00:33:29.000
<v Speaker 2>movies to inspire people to sign up and stay longer

613
00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:34.279
<v Speaker 2>with the streaming service. In that marketing strategy has not worked,

614
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:38.119
<v Speaker 2>and so now they had to retrench, had to reorganize.

615
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:39.599
<v Speaker 1>People have been laid off.

616
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:44.000
<v Speaker 2>The company lost billions of dollars over several years during

617
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:49.279
<v Speaker 2>this strategic shift to streaming. But this last fall it's

618
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:51.799
<v Speaker 2>finally started to turn around and it's turned a profit.

619
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:54.480
<v Speaker 2>But a lot of people had to lose their jobs

620
00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:57.920
<v Speaker 2>in the meantime, and it's not a guarantee that people

621
00:33:57.960 --> 00:33:59.519
<v Speaker 2>who sign up for Disney Plus are going to stay

622
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:01.160
<v Speaker 2>with Disney Plus. It's almost like, once you get on

623
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:02.880
<v Speaker 2>the horse, you got to make sure this it's an

624
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:05.480
<v Speaker 2>enjoyable ride, or people will what, get off the horse

625
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:08.519
<v Speaker 2>and go somewhere else. So this is going to be

626
00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:12.000
<v Speaker 2>painful for Disney in the foreseeable future because they still

627
00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:14.480
<v Speaker 2>have not gotten back to where they were. How can

628
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:17.760
<v Speaker 2>they do that? Well, some hit movies wouldn't hurt, you know,

629
00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:22.440
<v Speaker 2>some great turnout this summer at theme parks wouldn't hurt.

630
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:26.599
<v Speaker 2>People signing up for Hulu and ESPN Plus wouldn't hurt

631
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:30.360
<v Speaker 2>some of those things. Maybe all those things. KFI AM
