WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.839 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:12.039 demand on the iHeartRadio appt and our Soggy Day started. Actually, the drive 3 00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:15.960 in this morning was better than yesterday. It was still raining, but I 4 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.719 didn't have the same amount of standing water. Not sure what it's going to 5 00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:22.960 be like in your area, because obviously LA is a very large area, 6 00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:27.280 but it was better today. So there was still people going too fast, 7 00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:31.039 though I'm going to say that as I shake my finger at you, which 8 00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:34.399 I don't mean to do, is just we want everybody to be safe out 9 00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:39.000 there. Sad Day also woke up to news that Toby Keith has died. 10 00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:45.759 And I am a huge, huge country music fan and worked in country radio 11 00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.439 as a news director on a morning show on a couple of them actually for 12 00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:54.759 four years. And Toby Keith was just one of those people who really, 13 00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:00.079 you know, affected the whole genre and his music is so great and I 14 00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:04.879 am just very sad about that. And we're going to play little snippets of 15 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:10.040 some Toby Keith music throughout the wake Up Call. Here's what's ahead on wake 16 00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:14.040 Up Call this morning, and evacuation warning has been issued for the Upper Crest 17 00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:18.560 neighborhood in Culver City. Mudflows have already been reported behind a couple of homes, 18 00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:23.519 and emergency shelters been opened at the Culver City Veterans Memorial Complex. More 19 00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.719 than ten inches of rain has fallen in some areas of LA just since Sunday. 20 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.599 A lot of students stayed home from school in LA. It's the bomb's 21 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:38.280 cyclone moved through southern California. Attendance yesterday was at sixty three percent across LAUSD 22 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.280 It's normally ninety two percent. Officials say most faculty and staff still showed up 23 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:48.760 for work. A vote to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorcis could come as 24 00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:53.400 early as today. A Republican led House Rules Committee voted yesterday to send the 25 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.680 measure to the full House for a vote. Lawmakers accused Mayorcis of refusing to 26 00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:04.000 uphold his oath of office by failing to enforce immigration laws. At six oh 27 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:08.240 five, It's handle on the news bills back today, Republicans continue to push 28 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:13.520 back on the new bipartisan border bill in the Senate. Let's get started with 29 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.439 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The 30 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:20.560 storm has done a lot of damage. Mud and debris flows have damaged homes 31 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:24.520 in Studio City, Tarzana, Beverly Glen, and Baldwin Hills. Rocks and 32 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:29.759 boulders fell overnight on parts of Malibu Canyon Road, and flooding has been reported 33 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.120 in several areas. This man in Long Beach says a tree fell on his 34 00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:36.719 house late Sunday. I believe it was the rain. It softened the soil 35 00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:40.719 out there, and it was the tree was unbalanced and it just slowly ripped 36 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:46.599 up Fellow the house. He says he's working with his insurance company to see 37 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.319 if it is going to cover the damage. President Biden is called Mayor Bass 38 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.240 to offer a helping hand to the city of La as it prepares to clean 39 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:58.080 up after the huge winter storm. There's anything more you need from us, 40 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.759 from my FAMENT director, We'll had any help on the way as soon as 41 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:06.280 you guys requested, So just let me know. That's why I'm calling, 42 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:12.159 he says. Biden called Mayor Bass during her storm briefing last night. Bass 43 00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.039 held her cell phone up to a microphone so everyone could hear Biden's offering. 44 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.639 FEMA helped to La and the rest of California. The mayor is going to 45 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.319 do another storm update this morning. Of course, we will bring you all 46 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.240 of the information from that as soon as it comes in. About one hundred 47 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:29.560 and fifty thousand people in northern California are in the dark because of the storm. 48 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:31.360 At the beak of the storm, more than a million Kgen customers were 49 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:38.000 without power. PG and E's Paul Moreno says the high winds have left Cruise 50 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.960 scrambling with this widespread storm. We have many, many hundreds of thousands of 51 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.919 cases of trees in the power lines or tree branches of the power lines, 52 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:52.240 down poles as well as power line. Morenos's Cruise are working as fast as 53 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.759 they can, but PG and E is telling customers it may be Thursday before 54 00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:00.599 their power is back on. Let's head out and see what's going on on 55 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:05.719 the roadways. And welcome back Nick Poliochini back from vacation. So nice to 56 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:09.080 have you back with us. Nick. We got to crash in Linwood on 57 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:11.879 the one oh five. Good to be with you as well, Amy and 58 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:14.360 checking out the driver for folks are making their west und right now along the 59 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:15.920 one o five. Ed, you make me through the Linwood area before Long 60 00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:18.600 Beach Boulevard. It's erect that has the right lane shut down and it looks 61 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.879 like it's a silicar spin out car hydroplane there and it's a mess for your 62 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:26.199 drive right now on the westbound side of the one oh five from what before 63 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.160 the seven to ten and single is continuing for you for their westbound on the 64 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.279 one o five as you make way into south light heading toward the one ten. 65 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.959 Now, unlike Amy's experience getting into the studio this morning, mine was 66 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:40.360 insane here in Long Beach. Really standing water is crazy. Amy. In 67 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.519 fact, the front entrance to get into the facility, we couldn't even get 68 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.000 into our building, so we had to go to an alternate exit around the 69 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.199 or entrance around the back. So it's really crazy. So, as Amy 70 00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:53.959 said, your neighborhood may be great, your neighborhood may not be the best. 71 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:57.040 So give yourself extra time wherever your travels are taking you this morning, 72 00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:59.959 heading back to the ninety one as an alternate to the one five one, 73 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:01.879 I spound that's looking slow going for you right now as you're coming away from 74 00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.839 about oh let's say a lake Wood, North Long Beach and Bellflower from before 75 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.879 Lake boulevards make way toward the seven ten. Okay, if I in the 76 00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.519 sky, help skids you there faster. I'm Nick Poliokeemi, thank you Nick. 77 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.800 It's five oh five on your wake up call. Let's now say good 78 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.800 morning to ABC's Tom Rivers in London. So Tom, a pretty surprising and 79 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:26.399 announcement from Buckingham Palace yesterday. The King has cancer. Yeah. Yeah, 80 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:30.439 it was a shocker. We kind of caught when something was up toward the 81 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.759 end of the day here in the bureau and the six pm local time, 82 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:39.000 it'd be a bit dark, kind of a kind of a gloomy day and 83 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:45.240 coming forward with a news that was very very unexpected. Twelve days after he 84 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:49.000 underwent a procedure for an enlarged prostate. At that time they said there was 85 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:57.399 no cancer. We find out that upon closer examination the prostate was not cancerous, 86 00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:02.759 but another organ was rus So he's begun treatment now, I actually began 87 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:08.759 yesterday. We don't have details on what form of cancer. We don't have 88 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:13.879 details on what stage he's at, and all we know is that he's starting 89 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:19.160 treatment, so that's chemo or radiation, but it's being done outpatient and according 90 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:24.399 to the Prime Minister here. They say that they've caught it pretty darn early, 91 00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:28.720 so that's a good sign. Yeah. So, and we don't know 92 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:33.680 what kind of treatment, which might kind of help point to. So generally 93 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:39.879 the monarchy is kind of clothes lipped about a lot of these things. They 94 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:44.560 chose to come out and talk about this, But are you expecting them to 95 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:48.160 share more details or is it going to be like this Princess Kate thing where 96 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.480 they say, oh, she's having surgery, but they won't say what it 97 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:55.920 is. Yeah, I don't expect play by play. We'll see how this 98 00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:00.199 story plays out, though, I mean, you know, if his health 99 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.639 takes a turn for the worst, they're going to have to become at least 100 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:10.439 a bit more forthcoming. But compare and contrast to the old way things were 101 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:15.079 done. Even a year or so before the Queen died, she spent a 102 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:19.000 night in the hospital, and of course the palace uttered not a syllable in 103 00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:24.959 that particular instance, until tabloids here caught wind of it. Then they had 104 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:28.439 to react to it. So charges Charles had taken a very different approach, 105 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:32.360 more proactive, saying, look, I've had in the first instance, prostate 106 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.920 procedure and now with cancer, and he's saying, look, people of a 107 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:43.160 certain age may well develop this, so let's get it out there. If 108 00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:47.000 you're feeling symptoms, then get screened. So it's a very different approach. 109 00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:51.959 Well, I think that that's a positive shift, especially because I know that 110 00:07:53.000 --> 00:08:00.000 testing is so important for getting catching and treating cancers. How are the bridge 111 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:05.920 it's reacting to all of this, you know, it's it's interesting if you've 112 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.600 kind of on an average day here he got a third of the country that 113 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.079 loved the Royals, a third of the country don't like the Royals, and 114 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:18.040 a third in the middle are pretty indifferent. Having said that, because of 115 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.720 many families have gone through cancer, the vast, vast majority of Brits are 116 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.600 getting behind him right now saying look, we're not royals. We can't imagine 117 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.079 your life, but we have gone through this and it can be pretty nasty. 118 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.200 So yeah, he's got great support at this stage from the country and 119 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.399 is probably getting you know, some of the best care in the world. 120 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:43.360 So and then Ice, Oh but yeah, I heard rumblings that Prince Harry 121 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.480 was spotted or for him, is he still Prince Harry? That Harry was 122 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.080 spotted at l A X not too long ago, so he's headed there. 123 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.639 Yeah, well that's a that's a that's a that's a good tip for me. 124 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.919 We were told that he would be coming over by himself within the next 125 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:03.200 day or two. And again, Megan is not coming, the kids are 126 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:07.159 not coming, and of course, you know we've talked about this in the 127 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.360 past. They're not viewed in the best light over here in the UK. 128 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.759 So he's gonna have to play this one, probably pretty low key. And 129 00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.639 uh and remember that this is not the Harry Show, is all about the 130 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:28.159 king. Yeah, and if something happens to King Charles, William is next 131 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:33.440 in line, right, yep. You got William and then you got George, 132 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.559 and then you got Charlotte, then you got Louis and then the fifth 133 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.840 in the batting lineup it is it is Harry. Oh so William's kids would 134 00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:48.360 take the throne thrown before Harry. Yep, exactly. And the change you 135 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.120 know, this has change about I don't know five six years ago, Charlotte 136 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:54.039 would never have been in the in the in the lineup, in the running. 137 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.399 No, it doesn't matter exactly. It says if your man or woman 138 00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:03.360 doesn't matter now we're in the twenty first century, so she gets a place 139 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.840 above. He used to be just the males went down the list, but 140 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:15.000 now comes in order and whoever's next male or female will be in line. 141 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:16.919 Okay, well, Tom Rivers, thank you so much for the update. 142 00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:22.840 And of course we certainly wish or Prince Charles king Charles well, as you 143 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.399 know with anybody, we all say that, well he was the prince for 144 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:31.600 so long. He's only been king for eighteen months, right exactly, and 145 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:37.919 you're absolutely right, and he goes into history books as the longest heir to 146 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.360 the throne in the thousand year history of the British monarchy. So yeah, 147 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.320 that's a distinction. All right, Tom Rivers, thanks again. If you 148 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:50.480 want to follow Tom, you can follow him at Tom Rivers ABC. Let's 149 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:52.679 get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour 150 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:58.320 newsroom. A man has been sentenced for sneaking into a plane or onto a 151 00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:03.039 plane in Denmark than flying into lax without a passport, a visa or even 152 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.360 a plane ticket. A federal judge gave Serge O Chaigaba ninety three days time 153 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.600 served and ordered him to repay Scandinavian Airlines for the ticket. The man was 154 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:16.440 not carrying his Russian or Israeli passports when he was arrested. Prosecutors say in 155 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:20.440 November, the man snuck into a terminal in Denmark, then waited till the 156 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.159 next day to sneak onto a flight bound for Lax. However, the flight 157 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.000 crew noticed o Chaigaba kept switching between unassigned seats and alerted border patrol. The 158 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.080 judge, after sentencing yesterday, ordered the man to be turned over to Ice 159 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:37.159 for deportation proceedings. Corbin Carson KFI News. The LA City Council is considering 160 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:43.480 rescinding a so called no street vending zone they've been around since twenty eighteen. 161 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:50.279 They banned vendors from popular spots like the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Hollywood 162 00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.759 Bowl, Dodgers Stadium, and the LA Live Area. City Council is also 163 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.799 considering lowering the cost of street vending permits from five hundred and forty one dollars 164 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:03.120 a year to just over twenty seven dollars per year. All I know is 165 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.080 that in Inglewood they must not have this zone, because when we went to 166 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:13.799 the Chargers game a few weeks ago there were street vendors with fabulous smelling bacon 167 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.919 wrapped hot dogs like every ten feet.

A suspected Yemen who they rebel drone 174 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:54.360 has attacked a ship making its way through the Southern Red Sea. The cargo 175 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.960 ship is from the UK. The British military's United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations says 176 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:05.320 a projectile caused slight damage to the ship's windows on the bridge.

Egypt Is trying to make sure the fighting doesn't push Palestinians across 180 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:26.480 its border. Blincoln has repeatedly said Palestinians must not be forced out of Gaza. 181 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:31.720 We're gonna be talking more about this with ABC's Shannon Crawford coming up in 182 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:37.399 about thirty five minutes.

This second whisked for My Man, Beer for My Horse. 184 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:48.440 Country music start Toby Keith has died. His family says he passed away 185 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.519 in his sleep last night. He's known for songs like beer for My Horses, 186 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:54.720 courtesy of the Red, White and Blue and my personal favorite should have 187 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:58.799 been a Cowboy.

He'd been battling stomach cancer for the past couple of years. 190 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:15.200 Toby Keith was sixty two when we come back, Getting your paycheck early sounds 191 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.559 like a good thing, But Joel Larsgard is going to tell us why it 192 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.360 might not be Plus sharing your streaming. Another company is cracking down on that. 193 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:24.720 Hey, before we head to traffic, I want to check in with 194 00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:30.159 Nick Poliochini, because as I was telling you as I came in this morning, 195 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.080 the roads were pretty good. It's just light rain falling, and Nick 196 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.200 said, not so much here, so tell us again what's going on in 197 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.399 Long Beach. So it's funny. I just did poke my head outside to 198 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:41.559 make sure that I gave you the most up to date information of what the 199 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:43.679 skies look like down here. And there's about thirty to forty miles difference between 200 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:48.279 Burbank and Long Beach. But it has seemed to dissipate at least for the 201 00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.279 rain right now, so it's gone from pouring over the last ninety minutes or 202 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.200 so, add to not being too crazy bad, although the standing water down 203 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.279 here on the coastal portion of La County is really pretty crazy, so make 204 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.799 sure to give yourself the extra time wherever your travels may be taking you. 205 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:03.759 But it looks like things that lightened up a little bit and long we've definitely 206 00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:07.559 still sing a lot busier drive already first thing this morning, even more so 207 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.480 than yesterday. Fabulous, Thank you for that update. We got people all 208 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:15.519 over the place. We got Blake trolley heading out to the ie this morning. 209 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:16.679 He's going to check in on some of the storm damage there, so 210 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:22.120 don't go anywhere. You're listening to Wake Up Call on Demand from KFI Am 211 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:26.559 six forty. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom to 212 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:31.000 Panga Canyon, bell Air and Woodland Hills have received nearly a foot of rain 213 00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:33.639 since Sunday. That's about a month's worth of rainfall in just two days. 214 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:37.120 More than more rain is on the year. That's actually a year's worth of 215 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:39.919 rain in two days. More rain is on the way, but most of 216 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.360 the heavy rain today's expected. A little further east in the Inland Empire, 217 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.200 about two dozen people have been evacuated from their homes because of the mud and 218 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.960 debris flow in the Beverly Glen and Beverly Crest areas. At least seven homes 219 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:56.799 are affected, and residents are reporting rooms, garages, and pools filled with 220 00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:03.240 mud. Crews also responded to a in nearby bel Air. Democratic Senator Scott 221 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:08.200 Wiener and Republican assembly Member Marie Waldron will be introducing a bill today to allow 222 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:15.080 twenty one people twenty one and up to use hallucinogens like magic mushrooms and MDMA 223 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:19.759 to treat depression, anxiety, and PTSD. The bill does not allow for 224 00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:25.639 personal use of the drugs. The proposal comes after Governor knew some veto to 225 00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:30.720 bill last year that would have decriminalized psychedelics. At six oh five, it's 226 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:34.639 handle on the news some migrants picked up in Arizona, maybe the same guys 227 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:38.159 who attacked an NYPD cop a few days ago. Bill's gonna take a look 228 00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.399 into that. Let's say good morning now to the host of How to Money 229 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:48.399 on KFI. It's our very own Joel Larsgard. Joel, you're saying that 230 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.759 the services that you're seeing about getting your paycheck early might sound good, but 231 00:16:52.600 --> 00:17:03.840 let the buyer beware. On that jewel we had Joel, Tony is furiously 232 00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:07.799 pushing buttons trying to reconnect with Joel. Is he still on the line, 233 00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:12.680 Okay, Nope, Okay, we're going to try to reconnect with Joel. 234 00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:18.559 Well, shoot, I want to hear about this because I've seen the ads 235 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:21.960 for the early paychecks. Oh, get your paycheck a couple of days early. 236 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:25.599 But Joel is saying it's not a good idea, and we're going to 237 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:29.319 ask him about that when we reconnect, right now let's get back to some 238 00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:32.240 Oh we got him. Oh good, because I didn't want to wait any 239 00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:37.039 longer. Joel, good morning. Maybe Okay, so I already did your 240 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.559 big intro, so we're going to dive right into it. So we talked 241 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:44.279 about getting your paycheck early. Sounds like a good thing. We've seen the 242 00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:47.839 ads for it, but not so much. Yeah, wouldn't it be? 243 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:49.400 It sounds so lovely. It's like, yeah, I'll get paid on Wednesday 244 00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:53.359 instead of Friday. And or you know certain gig apps now that you get 245 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:57.240 paid the day that you render services, the day that you give those rides, 246 00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:02.240 boom, the money goes into your account. But if your employer is 247 00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:06.240 paying you early, that's one thing, and I don't necessarily hate it. 248 00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:10.599 But there are now apps that allow you to claw that paycheck. You make 249 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:15.319 sure you get paid earlier than you otherwise would, but often with a cost 250 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:21.759 right so it's called earned wage access or it's in the amount of money you 251 00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:26.640 might owe these companies for the privilege of getting paid early could be significant. 252 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:29.920 Some people have called it payday lending on steroids because it could be like four 253 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.880 hundred percent loans, and the only way that these apps are able to skate 254 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:37.279 the laws is because they make it seem like it's a voluntary thing, like 255 00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:40.680 it's oh, it's just a tip, right, it's this friendly thing. 256 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:45.279 I'm just helping the app out because they're helping me out. In this voluntary 257 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:49.559 tipping model. Is what's allowing these apps like Dave and earn in to get 258 00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:55.079 essentially skirt these rules and charge people exorbitant interest rates to just the privilege of 259 00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:59.599 getting access to your money early. Okay, So it's basically a super short 260 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:03.039 term loan. So they're advancing you the money, but then you pay for 261 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:07.759 that Yep, exactly, okay. And this is of course, I mean, 262 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:10.519 you know, in the era of you know, fifty plus percent of 263 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:14.839 Americans living paycheck to paycheck, this seems like water in the desert. This 264 00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:18.240 seems like a great solution to the fact that I don't have quite enough money. 265 00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.759 But the real solution is to cut back on spending. Dare I say, 266 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.400 to increase your savings so that you don't need the paycheck early so you're 267 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:30.519 not paying fees. It's just like getting your when you had a physical check 268 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:34.720 and you go to one of those cash check cashing locations and you pay a 269 00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:38.799 fee for that service, and it's better to have a real relationship with a 270 00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:41.279 bank, right, so you can avoid those extra fees. If you have 271 00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.599 to pay money to get your pay that's a problem. Okay. And just 272 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.400 so we're talking dollars and cents, you say that it's like a four hundred 273 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:52.839 percent interest rate, so on a short term loan, like, is that 274 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:57.000 fifty bucks or I mean yeah, okay, And often they're like suggested tips, 275 00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:00.799 right, so it might be ten bucks on getting two hundred bucks early. 276 00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:03.359 But it's one of these things that it just it becomes this cycle for 277 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.279 people. They get used to getting their money early, and because of that, 278 00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:10.720 they're living even more on the financial precipice than they were before. Okay, 279 00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.519 streaming services, I just saw I got I got the note from Hulu, 280 00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:21.200 hey no more sharing? Yeah yeah, So I think the reason Disney, 281 00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:22.720 Hulu, ESPN Plus, which are you know, all in the same 282 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:26.400 family, the reason that they are going in this direction is because they've seen 283 00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:30.279 Netflix do it with so much success. So Netflix said, hey, guess 284 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.440 what, no more password sharing. Subscriber accounts skyrocketed, profitability went up, 285 00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:37.480 and so the folks over at Disney Hulu are saying, oh, what if 286 00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.680 we take this same playbook and we prevent you know, you sharing your password 287 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:44.960 with your aunt, your uncle, your mom, your dad, your sister, 288 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:47.799 your brother. And because of that, we're going to have force some 289 00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:51.400 of these people essentially to create new accounts. It's probably gonna work. It's 290 00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:56.519 annoying as a consumer, but also I don't fault these streaming services for doing 291 00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:00.319 this. Like Netflix used to it the very origin of their service. They 292 00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:03.000 kind of lauded password sharing. They've made it seem like, oh, that 293 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.720 was like the loving thing to do is to share your password, and now 294 00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:08.400 they don't want you to do that anymore. And I get it because it 295 00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:12.920 does impinge on their ability to make revenue and create the shows they want to 296 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:17.079 create, and to grow at the scale they want to grow. But you, 297 00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:18.680 as an individual need to remember, okay, cool, does this mean 298 00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:22.480 I need to sign up for my own Disney Plus or Hulu account or do 299 00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.000 I just not need that service anymore? And these are the perfect times to 300 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:29.839 reconsider what you're paying for on a monthly basis. And you know, if 301 00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.599 you don't want that ten twelve fourteen dollars monthly streaming bill in your life. 302 00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:37.200 Then just say no to Hulu, say no to Disney Plus. I don't 303 00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:40.720 want that streaming bill, but I want the streaming Easier said than done, 304 00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:42.519 right, I know my kids love Disney Plus too, so it's one of 305 00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:45.480 those things we or wait, here's the thing. I know you're gonna be 306 00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:49.640 waiting a while. But Black Friday they had such good deals on streaming services, 307 00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:53.440 and so maybe maybe you maybe you pay for one month and you skip 308 00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:56.599 a month for now, and then once you get to Black Friday, that's 309 00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.799 when you sign up for the sweet deal like two bucks month or whatever for 310 00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:04.319 Disney Plus the adversion of course, but that's that's probably gonna be when you 311 00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:08.279 see the best streaming deals typically. Okay, so maybe do some bingeing, 312 00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.759 cancel your service for a while, and then wait and then all the stuff 313 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:15.960 is pretty much there when you come back. Yeah, that's exactly it. 314 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.160 I mean, I think people are like they keep paying it in perpetuity and 315 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:21.559 set a calendar in mind to remind yourself, like, listen, cool, 316 00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:23.319 this is the month where I'm going to catch up on my favorite Marvel show. 317 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:26.440 And then I'm going to cancel and then guess what when the next favorite 318 00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:30.559 Marvel show or whatever comes out in you know, April May something like that. 319 00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:33.279 That's when I'll sign back up. That's really you figure out what is 320 00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.279 it that I love about the service and how often does that mean that I 321 00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:40.359 actually need it? Like when Squid Games comes out season two, I'll be 322 00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:42.160 on Netflix, but right now I'm not on Netflix, and I want people 323 00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:45.640 to think about their streaming services that way. There's no contracts, unlike the 324 00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:49.319 you know, former relationship with the cable company. So that's the beauty of 325 00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:52.960 it. Just make sure you actually do cancel and resubscribe. You're not missing 326 00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:56.160 out on anything in the in between. Okay.

Right now, let's say good morning to 359 00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:15.880 ABC's Alex Stone. Alex the rain stuff for a while yesterday, Yeah, 360 00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:18.279 at least it lightened up, But now let's gonna be stuck in my head. 361 00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.680 I like talking about you, you you you usually I'm gonna be singing 362 00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:25.319 that all day now, I know you. I woke up singing. Should 363 00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:27.640 have been a cowboy. I know, red solo cop I love this bar. 364 00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:30.559 How do you like me? Now? I mean there's so many of 365 00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:33.920 them courtesy of the Red, White and Blue. Remember that after nine to 366 00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:37.519 eleven? Oh that was put a boot in your you know what? Yep, 367 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.079 yeah, anyway, uh yeah, it did lightened up a little bit. 368 00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:44.440 But here this is that's live outside right now. You know, it's 369 00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:48.759 it's still coming down and today it's gonna be more rain, probably another one 370 00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.519 to three inches is what's expected, and then kind of moving out. But 371 00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:56.319 it's going to be the backside of this thing, Amy where it's the thunderstorms 372 00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:00.000 now with the downpours and as you mentioned, over three hundred mud slides and 373 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.839 oh boy, you know, the ground can't take any more water, and 374 00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:10.079 then the potential of something major think Lo con Cheetah years ago or Montecito a 375 00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:14.240 couple of years ago, where then just a huge area gives way. So 376 00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:18.839 today that everyone's going to be at least in the LAFD world in La County 377 00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.759 Fire and Ventura and Santa Barbara watching alt Freddy signs movement just because there's so 378 00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.279 much water in the ground, and christ and Crowley, the LAFD chief, 379 00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.359 saying this last night. As the storm continues, there are many water soaked 380 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:34.119 hill sides that have the potential to slide, and kind of so far, 381 00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:37.200 the biggest one has been the one in Beverly Crest, the one that, 382 00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:41.319 you know, one home that was unoccupied, paying goodness, was blown apart 383 00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:45.759 as the mud came down and ended up in the road and sixteen people had 384 00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:49.559 to be evacuated in homes around it. And that's kind of been the extent 385 00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:53.480 of it. For all of the rain that we have received, Thank goodness, 386 00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:57.799 there hasn't been something far worse, whether flooding or mud slides or power 387 00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:02.319 outages then what we've dealt with. But we're not done yet, and we've 388 00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:04.839 got this backside of the storm with the thunderstorms and then several days of what 389 00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:10.079 could be periods of heavy rain. So it's not over yet. But today 390 00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:12.240 it feels like if we can get through this then kind of, you know, 391 00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:17.200 a little bit of relief and kind of be done with it. As 392 00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:21.000 we begin to see sunny skies over the next couple of days and then do 393 00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:22.640 we have more storms coming in next week or are we pretty much done after 394 00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:27.000 things? We're done for a while at least. What our meteorologist has been 395 00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:30.759 telling us in the briefings that they do every morning is that then there is 396 00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:34.160 nothing on the horizon right away. I'm sure there's something that they could be 397 00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:37.799 out there in a while, but no should be done at that point. 398 00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:41.160 Okay, So Alex, I have a question for you, because once the 399 00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:47.599 rain stops, the road or the hillsides are still just super super saturated. 400 00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:51.559 So how long does that risk of mudslides continue. It's going to be a 401 00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:53.759 while. In fact, I'm trying to remember in Lock and Cheetah when I 402 00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:59.400 covered that, and I think two thousand and five when that one went between 403 00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:03.799 Ventura and Santa Barbara and a bunch of people were killed. It hadn't been 404 00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:10.000 raining in a while, and finally the hillside turned into liquid and it went 405 00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:12.160 down. So it's going to be a while that risk, And with three 406 00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:15.119 hundred of them in the last two days, there's going to be at least 407 00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:18.680 a few days where there are more, and hopefully they're all small, but 408 00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:22.039 it's not going to go away right away. Of course, we need to 409 00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:26.559 stop raining for it to go away, so the risk will go down pretty 410 00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:29.599 quickly just when the rain stops, but the risk is still going to be 411 00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:32.960 there. Okay. And then what about the burn scars. I know that 412 00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:36.759 there were a lot of evacuation warnings in the burn scars, but are those 413 00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:38.559 is that where the slides are happening. I mean, I know you mentioned 414 00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:42.440 the ground is weak and it's bare there. What's amazing to me is some 415 00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:48.000 of the evacuations, like in Ventura County that they've been in the Thomas Burn 416 00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:52.319 Scar. That was so many years ago that the ground is still that week. 417 00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:56.799 But you think what happened in Montecito and twenty eighteen I believe where that 418 00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:00.599 gave way and it was so dangerous and so deadly. So there's a lot 419 00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:03.440 of just being careful with these. And we haven't seen a lot of movement 420 00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:08.440 there in Latuna Canyon or any of the other areas that they've done the evacuations. 421 00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:14.480 It's been more in kind of the Hollywood Hills and Beverly Crest neighborhood, 422 00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:19.720 and the area is more above kind of the valleys around La But the hope 423 00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:23.279 will be that today that we get to tonight and tomorrow morning and say, 424 00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:26.759 all right, there wasn't a lot of movement and we're kind of done with 425 00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:29.480 it and we've got sunshine on the way for the weekend. Yeah, we 426 00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:32.279 have that to look forward to. Alex Stone, thank you so much for 427 00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:38.400 your time this morning. I love this bar, my kind place, Alex 428 00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:41.599 sing it out. Thanks.

LA police 435 00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:15.640 have arrested two men for allegedly selling cocaine at a homeless camp in the Westlake 436 00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:18.839 District. A search weren't served in Hollywood last week led investigators to an RV 437 00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:23.880 parked on South Beacon Avenue.

A man in LA has been sent to twenty six years 439 00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:32.720 in prison for supplying the fentanyl that killed two people I feed say. William 440 00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:36.759 Fulton was also charged in the five count indictment with being a felon in possession 441 00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:41.960 of two nine millimeter ghost guns despite having been convicted of two dozen felony since 442 00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:45.039 two thousand and four. Fulton admitted to selling the fentanyl at hotels in Redondo 443 00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:49.039 Beach on consecutive days in twenty twenty, which caused the two people to fatally 444 00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:53.000 overdose. The man was also ordered yesterday to pay more than twelve thousand dollars 445 00:30:53.039 --> 00:31:00.880 in restitution. Corbin Carson KFI News Jersey Shore Star Mike the situation and his 446 00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:04.000 wife have saved their little boy from choking. It happened as a family was 447 00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:08.279 eating dinner on Thursday. Mike Sorrentino picked up his son, tapped him on 448 00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:12.640 the back until that Nyoki had choked on dislodged, and it was all caught 449 00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:17.480 on the family's ring camera. Which is a good thing because when I first 450 00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:19.359 read this story, I thought, oh my gosh, they were video like 451 00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:22.039 they pulled out their phones while their son was choking, but that's not the 452 00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:26.839 case. Apparently was caught on the ring camera. Sorrentino posted the video on 453 00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:30.480 social media over the weekend and said he and his wife are going to sign 454 00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:34.000 up for CPR lessons. Good idea. You're listening to Wake Up Call on 455 00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:41.759 demand from KFI Am six forty finding out that country star Toby Keith has died 456 00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:45.960 and being in country music for a very long period of time, he made 457 00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:51.400 a huge impact on the industry and such a talented man. Sorry to see 458 00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:55.759 him leave this earth. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour 459 00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:59.640 newsroom. Three people have been killed by falling trees knocked over by the high 460 00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:04.319 winds came along with the bomb's cyclone storm. Two were crushed when trees came 461 00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:07.720 down in their backyards. Another man was in his house. In Santa Cruz, 462 00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:10.960 a five year old girls survived a tree crashing into her house. It 463 00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:15.960 landed within inches of her on the couch. About two dozen people have been 464 00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:20.440 evacuated from their homes because of the mud and debris flow in the Beverly Glen 465 00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:23.440 and Beverly Crest areas. At least seven homes are affected, and residents are 466 00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:29.000 reporting rooms, garages, and pools filled with mud. Crews also responded to 467 00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:36.200 a gas leak in nearby bell Air. Democratic Senator Scott Wiener and Republican assembly 468 00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:40.599 Member Marie Waldron are planning to introduce a bill today that would allow people twenty 469 00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:47.480 one and up to use hallucinogenic things like magic mushrooms and MDAMA to treat depression, 470 00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:52.599 anxiety, and PTSD. The bill does not allow for personal or recreational 471 00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:57.359 use of the drugs. The proposal comes after Governor Newsom veto to bell last 472 00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:01.759 year that would have decriminalized psychedelic We're just minutes away from Handle on the news 473 00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:06.640 this morning. Former President Trump has sent a letter to the Supreme Court saying 474 00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:10.319 that taking him off the ballot is anti democratic. I'm sure Bill's going to 475 00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:14.480 have something or two to say about that. Right now, let's check in 476 00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:20.960 with ABC's State Department correspondent Shannon Crawford. Shannon, Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln 477 00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:24.000 is in the Middle East again. He's racking up a lot of frequent flyer 478 00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:29.119 miles, that's right, Amy, And if it's starting to feel a little 479 00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:32.519 bit like Groundhog Day here. It's because it is Secretary of Blincoln's fifth trip 480 00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:36.359 to the Middle East since the war in Gaza began, and each time he's 481 00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:39.200 gone over to the region with a similar sort of goals escalation, ramping up 482 00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:43.599 baid, things like that. Now, what's different this time is that negotiators 483 00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:46.680 could be on the brink of the deal that would see all hostages Romanian Gaza, 484 00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:52.079 and of course US forces have been carrying out counter strikes into separate theaters 485 00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:54.440 in the Middle East, so the risk that the conflict could flare into a 486 00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:59.839 regional war is really greater than ever. Okay, so you said that they 487 00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:02.839 might have a deal on the hostages, which would be a pretty major thing 488 00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:07.320 because Hamas has said, we're not releasing the hostages, is it until the 489 00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:14.199 war or the fighting stops, and Israel says we're not stopping until his until 490 00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:19.280 the hostages are released. That's right, But what we've seen publicly stated and 491 00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:22.280 what's happening behind the scenes is a little bit different. Now. Of course, 492 00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:27.280 as you point out, you're absolutely right, Hamas and Israel still appear 493 00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:31.079 to be diametrically opposed on this, but we do know that behind the scenes, 494 00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:36.320 Israel has pretty much signed on to a framework that each of the Cutter 495 00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:39.639 in the US have also endorsed, something they hashed out really more than a 496 00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:44.320 week ago. But the ball is in Hamas's court now. We've seen a 497 00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:47.880 lot of optimism from Cutter. They say that, hey, we think Hamas 498 00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:54.280 will eventually this keyword I guess being eventually there because the group have not publicly 499 00:34:54.440 --> 00:35:00.800 weighed in on that that framework so yet they're still waiting to to see what 500 00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:04.239 they come back with, and they are expecting it will be a counter So 501 00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:07.559 these negotiations are going to press on. Okay, And who all is he 502 00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:10.840 meeting with? He's not only going to one place, right, He's kind 503 00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:15.519 of hopping around in the Middle East, that's right. Like we've seen, 504 00:35:15.639 --> 00:35:20.960 it's multiple stops, meeting after meeting. He's already been to Saudi Arabia where 505 00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:25.079 he's met with the crown Prince and the fact a ruler Mohammed bin Salman that 506 00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:30.960 are known by MBS his initials. And then he went to Egypt where he 507 00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:35.760 had a rather tense meeting with President al Sisi there and now he is basically 508 00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:40.840 as we speak, he's landing in Cutter, Okay, And what's the feeling 509 00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:45.880 at the State Department about how the war with Israel, with Israel and Hamas 510 00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:52.199 is going. Are they still kind of full throttle support or is that wavering. 511 00:35:54.519 --> 00:36:01.719 I think that since the beginning we have seen a real spectrum of approaches 512 00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:06.599 from the State Department from people who, you know, maybe the more vocals, 513 00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:09.920 the officials who are out at the forefront, you know, endorsing Israel's 514 00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:14.119 things, to stand behind them in the wake of this horrific terror attack. 515 00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:19.320 But of course there have also been officials who have been very cautious's been very 516 00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:24.719 nervous and aware of the civilians and Goza that have been so dearly impacted by 517 00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:29.559 Israel's retaliation. So really, you know, it's covered the map, and 518 00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:34.280 if there's one thing that unites them all, it's this apprehension that this conflict 519 00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:37.679 is going to drag on and only prove to be more escalatory over time. 520 00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:44.840 Just what we're seeing now is that Israel's campaign is continuing. It's pressing perhaps 521 00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:49.320 into areas close to Russa where a lot of civilians have thought shelter, and 522 00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:57.760 that Hamas still retains control over large swaths even areas where Israel's bombardment has been 523 00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:02.320 the most intense. There really doesn't appear to be a finish line here, 524 00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:06.760 and there are a lot of issues with no easy solutions. Yeah, and 525 00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:09.159 then Shannon, as you're talking about things escalating. As we know, the 526 00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:16.519 US attacked eighty six targets in Syria and Iraq on Friday and then hit the 527 00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:22.280 Hooti rebels in Yemen on Saturday, and everybody in that area is saying, 528 00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:28.199 hey, we're doing this because of the Israel Humas war. That's right. 529 00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:31.039 US officials have said that this shouldn't be escalatory, that none of those actions 530 00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:35.800 really should come to surprised to anyone in the region, because they've said that 531 00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:39.199 if the attacks on commercial shipping and the Red Sea continue, if attacks on 532 00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:45.519 US forces, including events like that deadly drone strike in Jordan, if does 533 00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:49.000 press on, that the US is going to hit back and hit back hard. 534 00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:55.840 But still we've seen even in partners like Iraq, a lot of outrage 535 00:37:55.880 --> 00:38:01.400 really over what they say is a violation of its character oriel sovereignty because the 536 00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:07.079 US did not give them forewarning of those strikes that we saw over the weekend. 537 00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:09.960 They contacted them immediately afterwards, but they didn't give them a heads up 538 00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:14.920 right away. Okay, well, we'll be watching lots at stake here. 539 00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:17.519 Shannon Crawford, thank you so much for all your information and the update this 540 00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:22.239 morning. Absolutely thank you. All right, let's get back to some of 541 00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:24.920 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four our newsroom. LA Fire has 542 00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:30.719 warned additional flash flooding is possible as the storm continues. Chief Kristin Crowley says 543 00:38:30.800 --> 00:38:37.440 city services will continue to identify and mitigate hazards to ensure that all of our 544 00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:42.679 city residents are safe, and we will restore the city back to normalcy, 545 00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:45.599 and we will do this as quickly as possible. She says. The public 546 00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:51.440 can help by not calling nine to one one unless it's an emergency, and 547 00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:55.280 calling three to one one to report non emergencies. As we continue to navigate 548 00:38:55.320 --> 00:39:00.800 the effects of this storm together, please continue to prioritize safety, slow down 549 00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:05.119 if you must travel, and take care of each other. The rain's expected 550 00:39:05.159 --> 00:39:07.639 to continue over the next couple of days, but should start drying out by 551 00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:13.360 the weekend. Oh Winter storm watches up through late tonight for the eastern San 552 00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:17.440 Gabriel Mountains forecasters are predicting two to three feet of snow above seven thousand feet, 553 00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:21.760 as much as twenty inches as low as six thousand feet, and eight 554 00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:27.360 inches at five thousand feet. LA County Sheriff's deputies have been searching river beds 555 00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:30.559 for homeless people during the storm. For years, the homeless have set up 556 00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:34.239 living spaces amongst the shrubbery and bushes along dry river beds, but when there's 557 00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:37.159 rain in the forecast, the department's Homeless Outreach Services Team responds. Our main 558 00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:42.400 focus is to warn those that are in and around the waterways of the impending 559 00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:45.360 storms and the dangers that those bring. Captain Jeff Diedrich says they've been focused 560 00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:49.599 on the San Gabriel River, the Rio Hondo River, the Arcadia Wash in 561 00:39:49.639 --> 00:39:52.920 the Walnut Creek area, and since Monday they've only made contact with fourteen people. 562 00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:58.159 That's way lower than years past. Steve Gregory kata Fine. At least 563 00:39:58.199 --> 00:40:01.280 one hundred and twenty three deaths have now been report in Chile, where wildfires 564 00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:07.440 have burned through neighborhoods. Volunteers in Central Chile have been trying to remove charred 565 00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:10.079 metal, broken glass, another debris in areas destroyed by the forest fires. 566 00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:15.480 The fire started on Friday. Hundreds of people are still missing. The House 567 00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:20.880 is expected to vote later today on whether to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Majorcis. 568 00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:24.880 ABC's Stephen Portnoy says the measure contains two articles of impeachment. The first 569 00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:30.360 alleges that in releasing migrants into the country, Alejandro Majorcis has violated the law. 570 00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:35.400 The second article claims he has breached the public trust falsely testifying before Congress 571 00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:38.199 that the border is secure and that Afghan war refugees had been fully vetted. 572 00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:43.599 The Biden administration calls the charge baseless. The Senate may try to dismiss the 573 00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:49.000 charges to avoid a long trial.
