WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:04.280 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from 2 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:05.960 KFI AM six forty. 3 00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:09.839 You might have seen the i'll say the kerfuffle regarding 4 00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:13.320 Saturday Night Live. There was an issue of what was 5 00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:18.800 called equal time regarding Kamala Harris's appearance. Let me just 6 00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:24.079 get into what equal time is and equal time is 7 00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.199 the understanding the rule I should say by the FCC 8 00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:32.200 which says that each candidate should have no less of 9 00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.960 an opportunity to be heard or seen on the public 10 00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:37.359 broadcasting airwaves. 11 00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:38.679 Quote. 12 00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:42.479 The SEC seeks to ensure that no legally qualified candidate 13 00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:46.359 for office is unfairly given less access to the airwaves 14 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:52.399 outside of bonafied news exemptions than their opponent. Equal opportunities 15 00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:56.359 generally means providing comparable time and placement to opposing candidates, 16 00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:00.719 but does not require a station to provide opposed candidates 17 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:06.480 with programs identical to the initiating candidate. Kamala Harris appeared 18 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.120 on Saturday Night Live. Obviously that's NBC will play that 19 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:13.040 for you. The whole bit was about two minutes long. 20 00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:17.920 There was one of the FCC members I think they're five, 21 00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:22.799 and a Trump appointee specifically, so there's that was saying 22 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.959 that this was a violation of equal time. Donald Trump 23 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:31.120 should have been given equal time. Yes and no. Yes, 24 00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:36.159 if you want to go by the strict interpretation. Because 25 00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.719 NBC is a broadcast outlet, this equal time does not 26 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.359 apply to cable. So if you say, well, what about 27 00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:45.400 all the times did Donald Trump went on you know, 28 00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:51.319 Fox and Friends, that's cable. Cable's a private signal, NBC, ABC, CBS, 29 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.359 those are broadcast stations. They're actually broadcasting and they use 30 00:01:55.400 --> 00:02:00.079 the public airways. So the FCC is with respect to that, 31 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:04.120 governs equal time for that. So and the FCC and 32 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:09.759 equal time does not apply to the internet social media. 33 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.199 So just because Joe Rogan had on Donald Trump doesn't 34 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.520 mean that Kamala Harris can say, hey, wait what about 35 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.400 about equal time? Now there is a question, or the 36 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.439 question could be asked, well, what about when Donald Trump 37 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:28.680 came on KFI. If the Harris campaign went to KFI 38 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.719 and said, hey, I heard Donald Trump was on for 39 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:34.840 a half hour, John Cobel, we want equal time, then 40 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:39.120 KFI would probably have to extend that invitation. I don't 41 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:41.599 think that the Harris campaign wanted to come on KFI. 42 00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:43.879 So it was a moot point. But as far as 43 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.680 equal time, that's where it begins and ends. It has 44 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:52.719 to be a broadcast station, radio, television, not cable, not 45 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:53.719 social media. 46 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.439 And yeah, so it doesn't apply even if it's a 47 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.080 news joke or not a news joke. But even if 48 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.439 it's like a satire, it doesn't count. 49 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:10.840 The fact that she appeared makes it an equal time 50 00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:14.879 issue or could be. You know, it could be looked upon. 51 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:19.919 It wasn't litigated, so we'll never know. NBC ultimately said, here, 52 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.120 Donald Trump, here's you can have a minute and a half, 53 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.800 will air your your ad or whatever during Sunday Night Football. 54 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:29.680 Going back to what I was saying about equal time, 55 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:31.439 it does not have to be the same show, doesn't 56 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.120 have to be Saturday Night Live. It has to do 57 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.039 with the outlet, which is NBC. So they gave him 58 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.439 time on NBC. It doesn't have to be Saturday Night Live. 59 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.199 Now Saturday Night Live is said, hey, we've extended an 60 00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:45.560 invitation of Donald Trump. He declined, I don't know if 61 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:47.840 that's true or not. I'm just saying that's what Saturday 62 00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:52.159 Night Live said. But NBC said, look, effort, here's a 63 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.319 minute and a half, will air your ad will play 64 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:57.439 it on Sunday Night Football. They did last night twice. 65 00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:02.159 If I'm not mistaken. Here is the Kamala Harris bit 66 00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.120 which led to the controversy. 67 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:10.960 This is it the last campaign stop in Pennsylvania. Gosh, 68 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.240 I just I wish I could talk to someone who's 69 00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:16.879 been in my shoes. You know, a black South Asian 70 00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:21.759 woman running for president, preferably from the Bay Area. 71 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.920 That's Maya Rudolph talking as Kamala Harris. 72 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:32.560 You a new boath sister. It's nice to see you, Kamala. 73 00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:35.399 It is nice to see you, Kamala. And I'm just 74 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:39.519 here to remind you you got this because you can 75 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:43.519 do something your opponent cannot do. You can open doors. 76 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:50.439 I see it from that. 77 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:52.240 They like to be a garbage truck, right. 78 00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:58.160 I don't really. 79 00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.040 Laugh like that, do I? 80 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:01.439 A little bit? 81 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:02.680 Not? 82 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:10.199 Kamala, take my Pamela. The American people want to stop 83 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:11.439 the chaos. 84 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:13.120 And end the dramaa. 85 00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:18.720 With a cool new step Mamala, kick backing our Pajamala's 86 00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:25.680 and watch a rum Kamala. 87 00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:27.519 Like legally Blondola and start decorating for Christmas. 88 00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:33.920 Follow lalaha, because what do we always say, keep Kamala 89 00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:34.639 and carry on. 90 00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:35.079 Alah. 91 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:45.079 We know each other so well. 92 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:49.759 We even finish each other's belief in the promise of America. 93 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.079 Right now, come on, let's. 94 00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:53.399 Bring it in. 95 00:05:53.680 --> 00:06:07.879 I gotta tell myself something over here.

Okay, that's the Saturday Night Live 102 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:26.959 skit that was responded to by a member of the SCC. 103 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:31.360 And so this is what the Trump campaign offered to 104 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:33.800 be played during Sunday Night Football. And I think they 105 00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:36.199 played it at the beginning in the end, near the 106 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:37.240 end of the broadcast. 107 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:41.680 Hello to our great sports fans, and I hope you 108 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:45.279 haven't a fantastic time. We're two days away from the 109 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.600 most important election in the history of our country. We've 110 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:51.560 got to save our country and in need saving. It's 111 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:57.040 in very bad shape. The worst economic numbers in generations 112 00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:58.759 were just announced two days ago. 113 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.800 Wait a minute, and I thought the Great Recession was 114 00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:03.680 like twenty ten. How could it? 115 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:08.319 Never mind, generations were just announced two days ago. We're 116 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:13.879 losing jobs, We're losing everything, including viability, we're gonna end 117 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:18.160 up in a depression based on what's been happening. We've 118 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.600 never seen anything like it, at least for the last 119 00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:23.199 forty years. We have to straighten down. 120 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:28.160 The Great Recession was like twenty ten. I lived through it. 121 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:32.199 I remember it. Okay, it was really bad. Banks were 122 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.240 like going all to hell. People were losing their houses. 123 00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:39.959 I remember, I was. I was alive for that. Weren't you, Twala, 124 00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:42.120 weren't you alive for that? Yeah? Okay, I was just 125 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:44.079 wondering because this doesn't seem accurate. 126 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.439 We've never seen anything like it, at least for the 127 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:47.879 last forty years. 128 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:53.279 Forty years ago. So that's nineteen eighty four. Is that 129 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:56.160 forty years ago? Yeah, eighty four. I could have sworn 130 00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:57.199 it was like fourteen years ago. 131 00:07:57.519 --> 00:07:59.680 We've never seen anything like it, at least for the 132 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:03.360 last forty years. We have to straighten out our country. 133 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.920 We have to close our borders, we have to lower 134 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.560 our taxes, we have to get rid of inflation. And 135 00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:12.079 we're going to do it. Just remember Kamala and her 136 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:16.160 friends broke it. I'll fetch it. Most important election and 137 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:17.040 the history. 138 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:22.360 Of our country. Go and vote. Look, whether you vote 139 00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:25.600 from or not what he said there was factually untrue, 140 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:28.680 but it was also during football. Well, no, no, well, 141 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:34.639 I will say this, NFL viewership audience skews right. So 142 00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:39.919 that and also it's a huge audience NFL football ratings. 143 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:42.639 Regardless of what you think about NFL, it still pulls 144 00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:47.159 in people. So there was a verifiable audience who saw No. 145 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:50.440 I dig that, but it's such a downer while watching 146 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:50.879 the game. 147 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:53.240 Look, this is what they this is what they chose 148 00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:55.240 to submit, and that's what people got to see.

And I said, look, we're on 193 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.919 a trajectory where there is no ceiling. There is no 194 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:51.080 better audience than the KFI audience. You are consistent in 195 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:55.120 your generosity and your donations, and each year you make 196 00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:58.279 this event better than the year before. And I'm going 197 00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:02.399 to salute an advanced producer who brings all this together. 198 00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:05.759 You get to see here the night of postathon, but 199 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:07.600 you may not see all the work that she puts 200 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.720 into it behind the scenes, So we're going to get 201 00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:14.399 an early start this year. You can start donating on 202 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:18.360 November twentieth, but you can start preparing as far as 203 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:22.120 getting your sauce together and laying out your strategy. Get 204 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.960 your friends involved, get your colleagues involved for another great pastathon, 205 00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:31.720 the fourteenth annual CAFI Postathon coming up on December third, 206 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.159 starting at five am all the way through ten pm 207 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:38.600 at the Anaheim White House. It's Later with mo Kelly 208 00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:41.960 KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 209 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:43.799 When we come back, we have to talk about these 210 00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:49.600 presidential endorsements, whether they matter at all, or why you 211 00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:53.440 might be hearing more of them this year than in 212 00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:55.879 previous election cycles. Will tell you why. 213 00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:59.759 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from. 214 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:03.879 Ko kfis Later with bo Kelly. We're Live everywhere the 215 00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:06.919 iHeartRadio app as we continue to celebrate the life and 216 00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:10.559 the legacy of Quincy Jones. That's one of my favorite 217 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:14.120 Frank Sinatra songs. But if you don't know your music, 218 00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:17.960 you may not know that Quincy Jones produced that along 219 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:22.519 with the Count Basie Orchestra. Something else which has been 220 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:25.879 going on with respect to the election is another day, 221 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:31.120 another presidential endorsement, and it seems like they're more now 222 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.000 than ever before, especially when it comes to celebrities, be 223 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:41.879 it actors, be it musicians, be it athletes. Everyone seems 224 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:47.720 to be endorsing a presidential candidate, not Senate, not governor, 225 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:52.879 not mayor. It's not sexy enough, it's got to be president. 226 00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:59.279 Harrison Ford Han Solo has endorsed Kamala Harris, Lady Gaga 227 00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:05.759 as well. Lady Gaga was appearing with Kamala Harris today 228 00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:10.039 and I'm not one to believe that an endorsement on 229 00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:14.799 Monday night before presidential election is going to garner anyone 230 00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:17.919 any more votes, but it's a good entry point into 231 00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:24.120 the conversations like why are there so many entertainers dipping 232 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:27.879 their toe into this pool? I would say it goes 233 00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:31.639 all the way back to Bill Clinton, and that's how 234 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:37.399 it kind of started, and then with the candidacy of 235 00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:41.799 Donald Trump it became supersized. But hear me out going 236 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:43.879 back to Bill Clinton, and if you're not old enough 237 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:47.080 to remember, it used to be it was frowned upon 238 00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:51.320 when presidential candidates would do anything that wasn't a part 239 00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:58.600 of legacy media or traditional media, be it newspapers, news programs, 240 00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.639 and back then you were not allowed to just phone 241 00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:05.559 in an interview like they say phoning it in. That 242 00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:08.039 goes back to you'd actually have to have to show 243 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:12.320 up for a presidential interview. You didn't have candidates calling 244 00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:16.879 in to meet the press or crossfire or sixty minutes. 245 00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:20.159 All of those were sitting down expectations. You have to 246 00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:24.080 sit down for the interview. That change, and it started 247 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:27.519 to change with Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton went on the 248 00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:30.519 Arcinio Hall Show, which is a late night television show 249 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:34.240 in the early nineties, and it was very popular. But 250 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:38.960 campaigns started to realize that there was an overlooked voting 251 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.600 segment younger people. Younger people Historically, when I say younger people, 252 00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:47.519 you know late teens, early twenties, maybe even early thirties. 253 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.159 They were not usually the group that was mobilized to 254 00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:55.360 go to the polls. Voters tended to be older. The 255 00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:58.559 older you got, the more consistently you voted. And the 256 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.279 people and me during Bill Clinton, you know, we were 257 00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:04.360 the young people. We were the gen xers, we were 258 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.080 the young kids on the block. We were the least 259 00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:11.159 likely to vote in numbers. Well, the Clinton campaign said, well, 260 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.360 let's see if we can reverse that or add to 261 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:18.080 our coalition and doing non traditional media. And I didn't 262 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:19.879 have time to pull up the clip, but you can 263 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:22.600 pull up the clip of Bill Clinton on our Senior 264 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:27.639 Hall Show and actually playing saxophone with the band, and 265 00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:33.519 that I think revolutionized how campaigning was approached. Where there're 266 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:40.679 these these voting segments which are not being utilized. They're 267 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:43.200 not being approached, they're not spending enough money in time 268 00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:45.879 with them to cultivate because there are two things. You 269 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.840 want to cultivate that voting base for that particular election 270 00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:53.600 and also train them to consistently vote every single election. 271 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:56.559 And I think about there was any one moment that 272 00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:02.000 I thought that politicians started to become more entertainers and 273 00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:07.759 rock stars. It was that particular moment was JFKF star. Yes, 274 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:11.960 did he hang out with celebrities, yes, but general society 275 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:16.440 didn't look upon the president as a part of Hollywood 276 00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:19.599 in the way that it's the case now. Now you 277 00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:23.079 have someone like Donald Trump who came from Hollywood. He 278 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:26.799 was best known for a TV show, and I think 279 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:31.480 that supersize and I would say, put the whole Hollywood 280 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:36.480 entertainment focus on politics on steroids, and I don't think 281 00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:40.319 we'll ever go back. But since that time, entertainers high 282 00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:44.160 and low have tried to attach themselves and affixed themselves 283 00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:47.839 to politics. I don't think it's any real deep commitment. 284 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:49.880 You have a lot of artists. The only time you 285 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.480 hear from them in a political sense is when they 286 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.039 want to attach themselves to a presidential candidate or a president, 287 00:17:56.359 --> 00:18:02.519 because now it's sexy, and now presidents are looked on 288 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:06.000 as celebrities in many aspects. You have Kamala Harris going 289 00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:10.400 on SNL. Let's not forget Donald Trump hosted SNL back 290 00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:13.440 in twenty fifteen, and I think one other occasion. Now 291 00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:17.440 we just kind of expected. We have candidates sitting down 292 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:22.279 on podcasts, which was thought to be beneath presidential candidates 293 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:24.799 in the last election cycle. So if you look at 294 00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:28.200 these endorsements, the only thing they have in common is 295 00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:32.200 celebrity wants to be near celebrities. And if you look 296 00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:36.720 at the different endorsers, I don't know if you saw this. 297 00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:42.680 The Avengers, Marvel's Avengers, they did a group endorsement on 298 00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:45.680 social media of Kamala Harris, and I'm just going through 299 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:48.000 the Kamala Harris ones and then I'll go into the 300 00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:52.319 Donald Trump ones. You had Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson 301 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:54.599 doing a group where they got all the adventures together, 302 00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:58.160 most of them from Don Cheeto, Robert Downey Junior, Mark Ruffalo, 303 00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:02.200 and Paul Bettany who played vision and they did a 304 00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:04.960 group endorsement of Kamala Harris. That just tells you some 305 00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:08.000 of the biggest movie stars in the world are getting 306 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:12.160 into this now. Whether that actually changes someone's vote, I 307 00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:15.359 don't know, but the thinking is you're reaching people that 308 00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:19.000 you didn't normally reach in previous elections. We all know 309 00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:22.759 about Taylor Swift, and that is one endorsement that I 310 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.680 think did make a difference. For one reason, Kamala Harris 311 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:30.880 was able to reach millions of younger voters which were 312 00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:35.440 not in her original demographic. Taylor Swift, originally being a 313 00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:38.880 country singer, was able to reach young girls of different 314 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:42.920 ethnicities that probably would not have been exposed to Kamala 315 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:47.680 Harris as quickly or usually given previous political cycles, so 316 00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:49.759 that one might have made a difference as far as 317 00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:54.000 exposure for a political candidate who was only on the 318 00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:57.839 scene in a presidential sense for about one hundred days. 319 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:01.519 And Taylor swiftrobably had a lot to do with getting 320 00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:04.519 her name, Kamala Harris's name out there in a way 321 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:08.559 that other entertainers probably would have had no impact. There's 322 00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:13.519 Donald schwartzendeg Or, Jennifer Lopez with Donna of course, Beyonce, 323 00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:20.039 Bruce Springsteen, Eminem and with Donald Trump. You know Elon Musk, 324 00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:24.920 who also donated seventy five million dollars to a campaign 325 00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:29.000 super pack. There's hul Cogan. We've seen a lot him 326 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:34.599 on the campaign trail, including the RNC. Mel Gibson. Did 327 00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:38.680 you see Megan Kelly tonight, which was interesting. I didn't 328 00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:40.880 expect her to actually get out on a campaign trail, 329 00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:44.240 but she was with Donald Trump tonight. We heard about 330 00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:49.599 Dennis Quaid, John Voight, He's been no stranger to presidential politics, 331 00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:55.599 Jake Paul Kelsey Grammer, and Kid Rock just to name 332 00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:59.519 a few. So all of these celebrities are lending the 333 00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:04.519 power of their name to presidential politics. Me personally, it's strange. 334 00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:08.079 It's really strange. I don't know how many votes it's 335 00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:10.759 actually going to impact, but I think it's more about 336 00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:14.519 the celebrities trying to elevate themselves than the actual politician 337 00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:17.720 getting something out of it. But I could be wrong, 338 00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:20.079 and we'll find out tomorrow or at least Wednesday, or 339 00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:22.839 maybe Thursday. Well, probably not till Friday, because we're not 340 00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:25.079 going to find out who wins to the presidential election 341 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:30.440 until probably closer to Thursday. Yeah, probably Thursday. It's Later 342 00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:32.720 with mo Kelly caf I AM six forty live everywhere 343 00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:34.920 on the iHeartRadio Apple. When we come back, I'll give 344 00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:38.799 you my personal anecdotes of Quincy Jones, who passed away 345 00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:40.759 at the age of ninety one yesterday. 346 00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.119 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from 347 00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:47.480 KFI AM six forty And. 348 00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:50.319 Before we get out of here, just a few notes 349 00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:53.119 on Quincy Jones, who passed away yesterday at the age 350 00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:55.920 of ninety one. I'm sure everyone is given some sort 351 00:21:55.960 --> 00:22:00.400 of musical retrospective about how he worked with everyone from 352 00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:06.279 Frank Sinatra, toured with Lionelhampton, of course, Michael Jackson and 353 00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:09.200 the Thriller album. That's all the stuff that most people know. 354 00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:12.440 But I just want to give just a couple of 355 00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:17.200 anecdotes about the guy that I had run into more 356 00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:19.720 than a few times in the course of both my 357 00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:25.000 music and also radio career. In the music industry, there 358 00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:29.000 was no bigger name. I think he had won maybe 359 00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:33.720 twenty eight Grammy Awards, but if you looked at his discography, 360 00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:39.759 it was for just about every genre, every single one. 361 00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:44.119 There was no bigger name in music. There was no 362 00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:47.680 one who was more well respected. Of course, he was 363 00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:50.279 the guiding force behind We Are the World in nineteen 364 00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:54.079 eighty five, the USA for Africa, and so many music 365 00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:58.720 projects across genres. But the guy that I ran into 366 00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:05.240 was probably far more humble than he really needed to be. 367 00:23:05.839 --> 00:23:09.200 It was Quincy frickin' Jones, and anytime he ran into him, 368 00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:13.759 he usually had time to talk. He usually was interested 369 00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:16.279 in you, what are you doing, What is it you 370 00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:18.799 want to do in the business. He was very quick 371 00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:22.400 to give just some general advice, Hey, you should possibly 372 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.359 consider this or pursue that. He was a walking encyclopedia 373 00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:29.759 of course of music. And he started out For people 374 00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:33.480 who don't know, he started out as a horn player 375 00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.000 or trumpet players they call it, and that was his 376 00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:41.119 first instrument, and that was his preferred instrument. But he 377 00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:45.279 developed a brain aneurysm and almost died. And the doctor said, 378 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.319 if you continue to play the trumpet, and if you 379 00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:51.799 know anything about playing the instrument, they call it the armbusher, 380 00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.359 where you press your lips against the instrument to make 381 00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:59.400 the sound and it puts pressure on your head. And 382 00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:02.480 the warned him, if you continue to play the trumpet, 383 00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:06.799 it'll probably kill you. And so he branched out into 384 00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:10.119 arranging and doing other things in the music business. But 385 00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:13.079 he always had time, at least when I ran into him. 386 00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:17.640 And here's something else that is probably impolitic to say, 387 00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:21.160 and probably impolite to say so soon after his passing, 388 00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:25.079 But Quincy Jones loved two things, or actually more than 389 00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:28.119 two things. If you've ever spent any time around him, 390 00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:35.200 you knew that he loved the ladies, ones especially much 391 00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:39.240 much younger than him, And he loved the cocktail. And 392 00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:43.480 they were probably at the same time. There was never 393 00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:46.480 a time in which I was around Quincy Jones, and 394 00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:49.759 I've been around him more than a handful in which 395 00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:52.960 he did not have one or more beautiful young women 396 00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:58.880 around him, usually fifty years his junior, and or a 397 00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:02.720 drink in his hand. My funniest moment with him. I 398 00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:04.960 wasn't physically with him. I had booked him for a 399 00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:09.720 radio show I was working as a producer and the 400 00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:13.480 host had I would say the bad idea to try 401 00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:17.680
