K I Am six forty is later with Mo Kelly. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We have a metro update. We'll get to that in just a second. But also as we get closer to Memorial Day, we'll let you know what's open and closed as we get closer to that observance for our fallen heroes. California could require age verification to visit porn sites. That's very, very important. We have to make sure that we address that straight
away. And there's a California bill which would require new cars to beep at speeding drivers. Let's get to first. I know Mark Ronner, good evening, Mark Ronner, Hello, Mo. I know that I was listening to you and I knew that you probably have an update for us. Oh, thank you for that. Thank you. May I have another? Thank you? Sure one another, I'll bring it on. Yeah okay, oh yeah, that was good. Thanks for that. There's a rumor going around that
there might be some precipitation in our future. You may be getting moist tonight, Mo, we are due for some patchy drizzle late tonight and into tomorrow morning. But what about the weekend? Is it going to mess up my weekend. No, you, weekend should be fine, all right, the seventies and maybe some clouds through the weekend, It'll be okay. Just want to make sure it's not rain I don't want that to stop you from standing outside anyway. I mean you should still stand outdoors. You are really hoping
for rain drops to keep falling on my head? Well, I don't know why you're afraid of it. Are you one of the wicked witches from Wizard of Melting of the West? Yes, I know. Do you have flying monkeys at your disposal? What do you got that's racist? No, it's not. Good evening, Mark, good evening, Stephen. How you doing, brother? Good sir? How are you? I'm doing well? And to Walla Sharp, how are you doing? Man? Fantastic? I want all of you to weigh in on this story as we give the Metro update.
We've been following this, in fact, we've been leading the coverage of Metro and I asked a question tomorrow yesterday, what is going to be the tipping point? What needs to happen before actual action takes place? Because we've heard a lot of talk. We said we're going to have this police surge fifty officers across all the MTA, and that was supposed to be the stopgap measure until I don't know what. It doesn't mean that they're going to get
their own police force. It doesn't mean that there's going to be a real increased police presidence on trains, on buses. And in the meantime, people are still getting stabbed. No one got stabbed today as far as I know. As far as I know, someone could be getting shanked right now and it's just not reported as of yet. I don't know. I'm just saying there's nothing which has come across my desk alleging that someone was stabbed today connected
to Metro. But I guess someone was listening to me because Metro seemingly has put forward a proposed solution that they can implement right now. Well, here's some stats for you. Of the one hundred and fifty three violent crimes perpetrated on Metro between May twenty twenty three and April twenty twenty four, one hundred and forty three of them, And if you're really good at math, that's
more than ninety three percent. More than ninety three percent of those violent crimes were committed by people who did not pay a valid fare and were using the transit system illegally. Metro says it's possible that stronger fair enforcement could be part of the plan to make Metro safer. Segan Metro believes that it's possible that stronger fair enforcement could be part of the plan to make Metro safer. In fact, Mayor Karen Bass will discuss this particular issue with the Metro Board of
Directors tomorrow. How about that for turning it all around. I'm sorry I missed something because you you rep that up like there was a plan like Evil Knievo was going to actually complete the jump, but then it seems like it hit the buses. Off it went. It went Evilnevo ended up in the bottom of Snake River Canyon. Yeah, I'm confused because, Okay, there's a there's a misunderstanding here. I think Metro has confused correlation with causation.
There's a correlation people who are committing crime and have also skipped on the fare. Okay, there's a correlation there, but it's not a causation where because they didn't pay the fare, they're more likely to commit crimes or at leads to crime. It's not like they're not paying the pay. Paying the fare was the gateway drug to stabbing someone. Oh, yesterday I didn't pay the fare. Today I'm stabbing someone in the neck. No, it doesn't work
like that. There's a correlation lawlessness, but there's not a causation. I don't think you're giving them the benefit of the doubt. Mo. You just want to have your eyes dotted and tease crossed and make sure somebody's paid to get on before they go on a stabbing spree. That's the part, Mark, that's the part that I'm not really I'm still not sure because it sounds like you're saying by them forcing people to pay that fare that two dollars or
whatever it is, they're less likely to stab. The point is, the point is you can't just get on and stab people for free. Okay, nobody's gas free, Yes, thank you. Okay. Twally, you had a great point when you say forced to pay the pair, pay the fair. Whose responsibility is it going to be? And let me talk about this from a first person standpoint. When I was riding Metro, I would get on the Blue line in Long Beach. That's an above ground train, that
platform, I assume it still is to this day. Is not patrolled in the sense of there's no one taking your fare. There is no turnstyle for you to put your fare card in. Okay, it is incumbent upon a law enforcement officer on the train to come by and check your fare, which they would do every now and then to make sure that you weren't jumping fair and illegally on the train. But it wasn't often. I would see a sheriff's deputy, I don't know, every two or three days on my route.
Not often, but those are the only people who are actually checking my fare. Are you saying that the train operators got to check people's fair Are you saying that the bus operators got to check someone's fair? If someone's gonna get on the bus and you're driving the bus, do you want to have that altercation right then and there, Because people, I've seen it, they'll just walk right on the train, and they'll walk right on the bus. Do you want the bus driver to get out of the seat and get into
a fight with someone. We've seen that happen, all right. I don't think that's what they're there to do. And I'm under the impression that the operators are told do not escalate. Yeah. Yeah, Are you expecting the Metro green shirt ambassadors to step in and say, excuse me, sir, excuse me man, we need you to pay that fare you or are they the ones that are going around check tickets? Are they like, can I see your ticket? I don't think so. But there's something else if you
don't know Metro. If you're riding like the Blue Line, which is above ground, those are outdoor platforms. There is no policing of that, and there's no turnstyle, so people can get on and off on those platforms very easily. You can't really police that. As you get to the Red Line and you're a Metro center downtown and you're underground, then yes, you have to use your fare card to get through the turnstiles, so there's a little
bit more of a security measure at that point. But if you get on on the Blue Line and you just ride in Long Beach to Compton and whatever, you can just ride all day. No one's stopping you, No one was asking for fares all that often. It's almost like you're saying, we can't rely on the honor system with people who are crazy enough to get on one of those things and stab everyone. Well, the flip side is, are you going to have law enforcement do it? Are they going to be
dedicated on every bush? Have you ever been? No, you haven't. But imagine getting on a metro bus during rush hour. There's no place to set Everyone is standing in the aisles. You have a good seventy to eighty people on that bus. They're not checking fares. No they're not. And to suggest that, well, if we checked more fares, we make sure that they're paying more fares, that will have a direct correlation and relationship to diminishing crime. No it won't. No, it won't because you don't have
anyone as a deterrent to stop the crime. The fair is minor. I just need you to stop the knife to the neck. I don't care if they don't pay their fare. Just stop the stabbings, all right, that's all I want. I care more about people's safety than someone jumping a turnstyle. Maybe I'm weird like that little high maintenance I am. And again, if you're trying to say that this is gonna be part of the problem and part of the solution, okay, you're just blowing smoke up mine, you
know. It's just come on, come on, it's not fair jumpers. If someone's high on meth, the faar is not gonna make any difference. If someone is not in their right mind, it's not gonna make any difference. If someone is carrying a shank, who's gonna stop that person getting on that train. Who's gonna do the cavity search? That's what I want to know. Heller the lady that got into the fight with the ride bus driver a little while ago. She was trying to pay her fare and the driver
told her not to and she still got into a fight. So that's all that right there. Throws this out the window. Look if I were a Metro ambassador and I wouldn't be and they said you have to make sure everyone pays a fair before they get on the train, I would quit on the spot. There's no way who wants to have that fight because there's going to be a fight or and I also saw this. I know, Stephan gotta go break during the summer, especially, you would have kids, I think
they're kids. They could be young adults, teenagers, early twenties. They would get on in groups at different stops, and the doors are only open for maybe fifteen twenty seconds. What are you gonna do to stop? Are you gonna ask them all of their fare cards? And if they don't have a fair or they don't have a valid fair card, the best you can do is ask them to get off of the next stop. Ask them, because if they don't, what is the escalation? What are you gonna do
physically remove them? No, you're not, No you're not. That's what I'm saying. We're not serious about doing anything with Metro. Don't put this out as part of the solution. Stop insulting my intelligence. It's salt Mark's intelligence. Don't don't insult mine. Yeah, please, I'd like your fair cards and a robust wilding. Please, I'll take a shake to the neck please. Yes, Now, I'll make that too. I need one for twala. It's later with Mokelly. If I am six forty, we life
everybody I Heart Radio APPA. I mister Mokelly here, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And maybe you have plans for this upcoming Memorial Day weekend. And I know we may all observe Memorial Day the actual day and do things on the weekend. We may observe it differently. For many people, it can be a very somber occasion as we remember our fallen heroes. Some people, though, keep it light, may have a barbecue or something like
that on Saturday or Sunday. Not judging, just saying. People observe it as supposed to celebrate it, observe it in different ways as we remember our fallen heroes. But in observing it, we still have to go about our day to day lives, and I often forget. You might forget what's open, what's closed. Here's an easy way to remember LA City, County, state, and federal. It's a holiday across the board, so you can assume most, if not all government agencies offices closed, banks closed New York
Stock Exchange markets, or close the courts. They're close La County Superior courts. If you need to know the specific schedule, you can always log onto La court dot org forward slash holiday if you can get it there. If you were like me and I, actually I don't know if I told the story or if I did, I haven't told it. Recently, before I came to Camfi and I was looking for work, I had a quasi office
at the La Public Library. I would go to the library, the one in Harbor City on Western Boulevard Western and just north of Lomita, right by Narbonne High School. I would go there every single day and it was a place where I had a makeshift office. I would send out my resumes, I had use of the internet and other facilities. It was a great way to stay busy. I swear by La County Public libraries. But having said
all that, libraries are closed. They'll be closed for the holiday. But if you want to know when they'll be closing prior to the holiday or the lead up to the holiday, you can always check it out their Facebook page, Facebook dot com, forward slash LA Public Library or www dot lap l dot org forward slash holiday hyphen closures. I know that's a lot. Google might be easier. The mail will not be delivered. Usps will not be delivering mail, and post offices are closed. I'm not sure how that will
impact your ups and FedEx packages we were just talking about. Metro buses and subway services in La County will be running on a weekend slash holiday schedule. You can get the specifics at metro dot net and Metrolink Trains. CAFI is on Chris Little would ride the Metrolink train on frequent occasion. Metrolink trains will be running on a modified schedule on Memorial Day. Each day leading up to Memorial Day will be normal schedule, but there will be no service on the
Riverside Line Metrolink Riversideline on Memorial Day. Trash pickup. I know this varies by area. My area, if there's a holiday, for example, will be there will be the Memorial Day holiday on Monday. Trash pickup for my neighborhood is Thursday. Whenever there's a holiday, it kicks back our trash pickup a day. And I'm the idiot who forgets this, and I will forget again. So I'll put my cans out on Wednesday like I did today. I put my cans out on Wednesday because I get home too late at night.
I don't want to feel like going in the backyard and pulling out the cans at eleven o'clock at night. Okay, But at the same time I understand that because I I'm the opposite of you, feeling like an idiot like, oh, it's a holiday tomorrow, I'm not gonna put out the trash. And then I hear the garbage truck roll through it on the wrong holiday, and I'm like, son of a bee, Like I thought that was
no trash today. Well, I always put my cans out on Wednesday for Thursday pickup because I don't want to have to get up early Thursday morning to put out the cans. Sometimes we will, actually most times, they will delay the trash one day. If the trash pickup schedules push back one day, customarily that means it'll be picked up on Friday. There are times, Stephan, just like you're talking about, was like, wait a minute, there was a holiday this week. Why aren't they pushing everything back to day
and they pick it up on the Thursday. For me, to be safe, I will still put my cans out on Wednesday because I don't want to do it late Wednesday night and I don't want to have to get up early and rush if they should happen to pick up up on Thursday. But if there is holiday schedule, the trash won't come until Friday, and my cans will be baking and smelling like stuff in the sun for an extra day and a half or so. You know, first world problems, But trash,
I will call your local trash provider for the specific sanitation schedule. It's real simple in that regard. It's city, county, state, federal. It's a holiday for everything. So just about every major service that you'll need will not be in operation, will not be open on Memorial Day. Throughout the weekend, yes, but not on Monday Memorial Day. As we acknowledge and remember our fallen heroes. It's Later with Mo Kelly k if I AM six
forty. We are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty. California could require age verification to visit porn sites. What is the world coming to? What is the world coming to? When I was coming of age, we had to hunt for our porn. We had to struggle. We had to really search high and low. We had to go to friends houses and see if their dads had any type of porn collection. And I'm not talking about the videos.
I'm talking about pre video age, where there was only print media. You had to have pictures. That was it. You had to hope that someone was stuffing some magazines and some mattresses, or you had a friend who could go into a seven eleven and go to the rack and buy some for you. That was the only way we could see a playboy or a penthouse or a hustler or a we as OUI not the game console Wii times of change. I have to remember they may not get that reference. Yeah,
otherwise you were just stuck with the Sears catalog. Hunh. Yeah, that's all we had, you know, women who were scantily clad where underwear? That was all we had. And to look at kids today, they don't know how good they have it. They've been surfing porn websites for decades now and nobody ever asked for ID. Well, all that's about to change,
possibly here in California. There is a legislation which has already passed the state Assembly, and it would have California join a handful of states if it passes the state Senate in which laws have been passed requiring pornography sites to verify the ages of visitors to ensure that they're adults. Under the bill, porn sites would need to take quote unquote reasonable steps. I don't know what that means to verify a user is an adult, such as using age verifications software or
having the user provide the site a credit card or government issued ID. Yes, that's what all of us want to do, submit our government ID to a porn site. Cookies are bad enough, all right, but you want me to give you my driver license or my passport that has a photo and my address. Anyhow, the bill would require that any data collection would ensure the user's anonymity wink wink. It would not be used to create a record
of the user's online activity. Yeah. Sure, remember we talk about this on Tech Thursday with Marshall Collier. The whole idea of privacy is an illusion, and as soon as you put that information out there, it's out there. We talked about the Yahoo hack where they had data from people fifteen and twenty years ago. Excuse me, the AT and T hack who had phone service years and years ago, weren't even using the service anymore more than a
decade pass And that information is out there, the private data. I can only assume that if you give your government issued ID to pornhub dot com, for example, no endorsement, just for example, that that ID is going to stay on their servers in perpetuity up until they get hacked. And that
information is then out there. This can only end badly. Now I feel that I've been attacked because I've been an adult now for the better part of almost three and a half decades just guessing okay, and now I am the one who's going to be made to suffer and I have to show ID just for me to get my porn on. It's not fair. It is not fair because those crumb snatchers didn't know how good they had it, and they hit letting people know that they were able to look at porn and cheuala.
You know this because it was happening in schools everywhere. They were hacking their own little laptops and using it to surf the internet to all these crazy side because they didn't want to get on their own phone. Yeah. No, that's what the kids do, and they will find a way around this. There is no way that they can guarantee that you're going to be able to put up a real idea, especially in the world of what AI. You're telling me that these kids can't come up with some AI program to just enter
some information. As soon as they do, they need to call me, text me, message me, in box me and let me know because I'm not giving up my real idy, no, sir, Next thing, I know, it'll be a hack and I'll be on the front page of Fox News. Well, Moe Kelly host a KFI was found in the data breach of pornhob dot com and x videos dot Com and Doggie Daycare porn dot Com. Doggy Daycare, you know what I mean. I'll just say I don't know what doggy. That was a joke. It's got too far. Literally,
anytime you want to jump in mark anytime. Well, mo, you like what you'll like? Okay, nobody's gonna judge you. Oh right. I mean. The first thing people want, obviously when they're looking for online porn, is to proudly declare their identity. The first thing they want to do. Man, it just goes without saying, Yes, I'm eighteen, here's my name, here's my address, and here is my government history. Do you like my Social Security? And how about the Google street view of
my house? How about that too? It's like the twenty twenty four version of the back room because they had those beads and you couldn't walk in there quietly. Oh you're talking about the video store. The video store. Yeah, oh, you know one of those. There's no way you could go in there and just be silent, because it would be well, not only that, you still had to bring the boxes to this right, exactly right. Don't ask me how I know that. Oh, and let me tell
you when I worked at a video sturing grad school. Did you think I was gonna let any of that go by? Oh, let's see, so you'd like a copy of Hannah Does Her Sisters? Is that correct? I'll be right back with that. Oh, Debbie does Dallas? Oh in Manuel one through eight. Well, the thing is, the ones that they put on video cassette had the best titles in the world. So you'd really be
failing your public if you if you didn't say them out loud. Oh my goodness, because they were always spoofs on actual movie titles like, oh, Pumping Iron. Oh sorry, sorry I misread it pumping Irene rank you. Yeah, we'll be right back with that. I remember one was not Star Wars, but Star you know what I mean, things like that, things like that. Of course, don't ask me how I know that as well. No, seriously, my first apartment I had two housemates, Paul and
Bo. Paul I don't know whatever happened to him, but Bo, he was one of my groomsmen in my wedding. We grew up together. Paul and Bow worked in a video store called Good Time Video. It doesn't even exist anymore, but we had all these free rentals, including the free porn rentals. They would bring home all these selections, and I can't tell you about all the parties we had, all right, just know that we had parties. But you could see all these ridiculous titles. And the porn industry
is making so much money just because of the home video market. Oh yeah, home video caused a revolution in that field. Yeah. The last thing I want now is my browsing history, or more specifically to Walla's browsing history. I care more about his than mine out there for the public to see and review. Because this law is going to happen. They're going to sign it into law, and it's going to forever change VPNs, and I don't
know there'll be a way you'll be able to circumvent it. But when you find out, let me know so I can let someone else know so I can share it as a public service. Yeah, it's all academic for you. You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on Demand from KFI AM six forty. We were really over last segment talking about internet porn. We had our
priorities straight this segment very quickly. We have to talk about the California Senate which just passed SB nine six' one, which would require passive speed limitters to be installed in all new cars manufactured or sold in California by twenty thirty two. Quick civics lesson. California Senate has passed it. It still has to pass the Assembly. It probably will, but you know, has to
pass both houses. This motion, which was introduced by Senator Scott Winner, Democrat from San Francisco, says it would make it would make California the first state in the nation to enact this safety requirement. And if you didn't know, it's similar to a law in the EU that is set to take effect in July. With the EU law was used as the blueprint for this.
SB nine sixty one would require every passenger vehicle, truck, and bus manufactured or sold here in California to be equipped with these passive speed governors or limiters by twenty thirty two. With the fifty percent phase in by twenty twenty nine. The passive speed governors, they say, are referred to as passive intelligent speed assistants and would warn drivers with audible and visual signals when they exceed the speed limit by greater than ten miles per hour. Close quote. That's a
state Senator Wiener's office. I get the sense. Mark correct me if I'm wrong. I get the sense. This is kind of like the lane assist. It'll beep at you if you're drifting into another lane, or if there's a car right next to you. There's an audible alert, but it doesn't control the car in any way. I have something that already does that. It's it's called a girlfriend. Put her in the passenger seat. Then really she performs all of those functions at an acceptable volume. She's a side she's
a side seat driver. Let's just we don't need that extra tech in our car. Well, I look at it this way. I drive fast. I acknowledge that it's something I've talked about on the radio before. I'm self aware. I'm usually in a hurry wherever I'm going, and I try to remind myself to slow down. What do you get up to there? If the speed's sixty five, what do you get up to under advice of counsel?
I decline to answer that. Let's say, theoretically, when we're in a sixty five mile an hour zone, hypothetically, hypothetically, speaking in my younger years, long long, long ago, Yeah, going down the five freeway sixty five. Will use that as an example if I were hypothetically driving home at night where it's a little bit more open. But I wasn't looking at this sphedomino exactly, but I was into the neighborhood of eighty five.
Of course, yeah, you wouldn't intentionally do that. Ever, it was a downhill grade, and the statute of limitations is long past on that. Absolutely, I advise everyone to drive the speed limit of sixty five, the posted speed limit. Of course, we all believe in the law here, all of us. But my question was for someone hypothetically like me, or
drove similarly to me. I don't know what the beeping thing is going to do, because according to this the driver's always in control, and if it's like lane assists or all these other things which are presently in cars, you can always turn it off. Oh you can turn it off, well, put its way. In my wife's car, she has that beeping sound. If you drift into another lane, or if you're trying to make a lane change and there's a car right next you go, he'll say, doop go
on that day something like that. If you can turn it off, why would you ever turn it on? Well, here's the thing. It doesn't say that you can't turn it off, and it says that the driver is still in control. It doesn't physically control the car, and it doesn't say that the driver won't have control over it. And it says that it will be audible and visual. You have to have some sort of settings controlled on
that. Oh god, you know, I would hate that unless it were like in the voice of Andrew Dice play or something like hey, get out of there, something like that. Yeah, I don't know if there's any voice I would like to hear. I don't want my car talking to me now. And that's part of the reason why I have not updated my car, because I don't need all those bells and whistles, and I don't think I'm open and admitable to those bells and whistles. Not the best selling point
for a new vehicle. If you're looking around. You might just have to buy your car outside of California. But for me, most times I am driving incomplete silence. I'm alone in my thoughts. I'm thinking. I'm just I enjoy the silence. I don't have the radio on. I'm not playing any music. I'm not listening to a book on tape. Most times, especially driving home, I'm just in my own head, and I just like to hear the ambient noise of life around me. You're supposed to tell people
you're listening to KFI. Moh no, no, no, no, no no, I listen, But I'm saying most times, most times, I just like to have it quiet. Of course, I bounced it back and forth. Man, I'm listening to George Doran. It's your time for quiet meditation, self reflection. All right, look at the time, Look at the time. Okay.
