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 --> 00:00:13.080 demand on the iHeartRadio app Wednesday, March thirteenth. Good morning, I'm Amy 3 00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:16.679 King. It's five o'clock straight up. Time to get up, get going. 4 00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:20.800 I got my coffee ready to go. Got a lot ahead today. 5 00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:25.320 Here's what we're working on on wake Up Call. This stage has been set. 6 00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:30.879 President Biden and former President Trump each clinched their party's nomination, setting up 7 00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:36.240 the rematch of the twenty twenty election. Recent polls showed the two or basically 8 00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:40.479 in a dead heat in the race. It'll be the longest general election campaign 9 00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:45.520 ever. Other polls also show that voters would prefer that neither one of them 10 00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.679 would run for president. Students have jumped fences to get away from the Taft 11 00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:54.039 High School campus in Woodland Hills following an Instagram threat that someone was planning to 12 00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:58.719 shoot up the school during the fourth period. LA District officials say the threat 13 00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:03.079 that caused the panic was not credible, but extra parole patrols are being added 14 00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:10.159 on and around campus as a precaution. The Dodgers and Angels haven't fared too 15 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:14.480 well in a new study that ranks stadiums based on their concessions. The study 16 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:18.680 looks at how many concessions are available plus the prices of beer and hot dogs. 17 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.920 Angels Stadium ranked twenty fifth on the list of thirty, the Dodgers twenty 18 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:29.959 seventh. The best park for concessions in the country Seattle's t Mobile Park at 19 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:33.840 six oh five. Its handle on the news Robert F. Kennedy could tap 20 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:38.719 a quarterback or a wrestler to be his running mate. Let's get started with 21 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.000 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour Newsroom. Trial 22 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.760 has been set for film director Roman Polanski, who's accused of raping a minor 23 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.640 at his home in la in nineteen seventy three. The woman making the allegation 24 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.280 says Polanski gave her tequila before and during a dinner date, and when she 25 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.120 started feeling sick, he took her back to his home and led her to 26 00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.400 his bedroom. The woman, known only as Jane Doe, said it took 27 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:02.799 a long time to make the decision to expose what he did to her, 28 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:07.480 but I finally did make that decision, and I decided that I want to 29 00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:12.439 file it to obtain justice and accountability. Polanski was served with a lawsuit in 30 00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.280 Paris, France, last September, where he remains a US fugitive. Because 31 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:19.719 this is a civil suit, he won't be required in court for trial next 32 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:24.240 summer. Chris Adler KFI News. An appeals court has reaffirmed the ruling that 33 00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:30.360 Anaheim did not violate state open meeting laws during a deal to sell Angel Stadium. 34 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.400 Anaheim's Aaron Ryan says it's the second court to reject a lawsuit's claim that 35 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.199 the one hundred and fifty million dollars deal was secretly done behind closed doors. 36 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:43.039 There were serious allegations, but a lot of statements made with the lawsuit and 37 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.400 those were not found to be credible. We welcome the court's decision. The 38 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.560 course I found that Anaheim did it right. We followed the Brown Act. 39 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.759 Last week, the court criticized Anaheim's decision to accept six hundred and forty three 40 00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:01.319 emails as public input instead of also offering public comments by video like they did 41 00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:06.360 during the pandemic. The Angel Stadium deal eventually collapsed, and the mayor at 42 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.800 the time pleaded guilty to federal corruption charges. President Biden says the US is 43 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:15.000 sending another three hundred million dollars in weapons to Ukraine. Package includes munitions and 44 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:21.280 rounds help Ukraine hold the line against Russia's brutal attacks for the next couple weeks. 45 00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:25.000 The Pentagon says it found some cost savings in its contracts to be able 46 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:30.120 to provide more weapons. Officials say the additional aid comes as the military remains 47 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:36.400 overdrawn and needs at least ten billion dollars to replenish all the weapons it's already 48 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.520 pulled from its stocks to help Ukraine fight Russia. Downtown LA has had more 49 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:46.039 than seventeen million visitors in the last year. The annual survey by the DTLA 50 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:49.479 Alliance shows the average length of stay for out of towners was just over two 51 00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.680 days, with folks from San Francisco and New York City visiting the most. 52 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.479 Executive Vice president Nick Griffin says outside people see downtown as a destination even if 53 00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.919 the rest of the city doesn't. Other cities recognize that the downtown is key 54 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:05.159 to what they are and to their economic viability. In some way, I 55 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:10.680 think that the city was just doesn't fully grasp that. The downtown residential population 56 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.360 is now estimated to be eighty thousand. Michael monks KFI News. So, 57 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.600 as you know, if you've been listening to Wake Up Call, we've been 58 00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:23.480 following the Big Bear bald Egle cam for well about a month and a half 59 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:29.199 now and Jackie in Shadow great parents. They're the bald eagles that live in 60 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.360 the nest about one hundred and forty five feet up a tree that overlooks Big 61 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:38.600 Bear Lake, and they laid three eggs this year and thousands of people have 62 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:42.439 been watching the Big Bear bald Egle Cam. I've been one of them, 63 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:47.480 and producer and is one of them. Several people around the office are watching 64 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:55.519 them, and sadly we got a post that as of Monday afternoon, there 65 00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:59.040 had still been no confirmed pips in any of the eggs. That's when the 66 00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:03.000 eaglets start to break through the shell. This is later than Jackie's eggs have 67 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:08.560 hatched in the past, and so Big Bear the friends of Big Bear Valley 68 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:13.199 are saying it is probably unlikely that any of the three eggs are going to 69 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.199 hatch at this time. They say that miracles do happen, so you never 70 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:21.240 know, but it's probably not going to happen, and they wrote this beautiful 71 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:25.920 I'm not sure if this was Sandy Steers, who's the executive director of Friends 72 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:30.120 of Big Bear Valley, but whoever wrote it, it was a beautiful little 73 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:34.279 narration of what was going on in the nest. And she or they said, 74 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:36.920 it's not a matter of giving up. It is simply a matter of 75 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:41.720 taking what is in front of us and moving forward, just the way Jackie 76 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.399 and Shadow do. And they also going to say that with the nest camera, 77 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:50.360 they're observing Jackie in Shadows everyday journey and it's been such a great journey 78 00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:55.240 to watch. And as of right now, they're still on the nest, 79 00:05:55.439 --> 00:06:00.319 they're still protecting the eggs, they're still switching off, they're still doing all 80 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:04.040 of those things just in case. But at this point the eggs are probably 81 00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:09.360 not viable. And as to why the eggs haven't hatched, they say they 82 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.399 have no way of knowing. It could be environmental, it could be biological. 83 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:15.720 But she said, or they said, we're going to continue watching and 84 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:21.199 learning and enjoying Jackie in Shadow as we see what happens next. And even 85 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:27.720 without new baby eglits, they are an amazing pair and so fun to watch, 86 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.680 and you can always watch it at the Big Bear Eagle camp. Let's 87 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.079 say good morning now to ABC's Tom Rivers. Tom, we were just talking 88 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:40.759 about this after twenty days in Mariupol won an Academy award. That Ukraine isn't 89 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:45.079 really front and center in the news right now, but the fighting continues and 90 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:51.240 Ukraine is making some efforts to take the fighting into Russia. Exactly, very 91 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:58.480 very disturbing, but basically it comes with asymmetrical attacks a few days before the 92 00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:03.920 Russian national elections with your Friday, Saturday and Sunday. These one case an 93 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:11.319 incursion, another case a wave of drones are not going to affect the election, 94 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.879 but they just want to get their message across that Ukraine is still here, 95 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:16.920 and I just want to make a note of that, even though it 96 00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:21.199 looks like Putin is obviously going to win another six year term. On the 97 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:29.079 ground, a cross border incursion attempted by the Ukrainians ended very very badly by 98 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:33.560 the Russian numbers. Two hundred and thirty four personnel shot and killed on the 99 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:42.120 Ukrainian side, seven tanks blown up, three Bradley fighting vehicles. They were 100 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:46.920 knocked out of commission two other APCs as well, So a real bloody nose 101 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:50.920 for the Ukrainians on that score. On the drones, yes, the Ukrainians, 102 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:55.439 you know, with Western backing. And of course, couple of months 103 00:07:55.480 --> 00:08:01.079 ago the UK said they'd be shipping over hundreds of additional drones. And it 104 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.720 may well have been one in this case, we don't know. But it 105 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:13.120 flew a long distance four hundred miles into Russian soil and attacked a couple of 106 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.360 oil refineries, one of which about one hundred and twenty five miles southeast to 107 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.759 Moscow. Two people slightly injured there. It caused the fire that was put 108 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.160 out a couple hours later. So, yes, this stuff is carrying on, 109 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:28.639 and it's now as you say, getting onto the Russian side, or 110 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.320 in the case of the ground troops, very close to what is now wrought 111 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.639 western Russia. And we just start finding out that the White House has found 112 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:43.039 three hundred million dollars so they can send some more weapons to Ukraine. In 113 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.600 the grand scheme of things, how much does three hundred million dollars worth of 114 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:52.559 weapons help? Not much? And it is kind of interesting, don't you 115 00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.159 know. The accountants of the Pentagon, they seem to find you know, 116 00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:01.919 money under rocks all the time, with you know, some regularity. But 117 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.519 yeah, that's the latest. Three hundred million is not going to change the 118 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.120 outcome of this war. Okay. And then just as a refresher, that 119 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.000 three hundred million is a bit of a band aid, but there is is 120 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.639 it? How much is on the line in that funding bill? Is it's 121 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:22.559 not sixty billion sixty million. I think it's sixty sixty four billion, sixty 122 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:28.120 four billion, So three hundred million is like nothing, nothing exactly. I 123 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.559 mean put it in context. A number of the countries, France, the 124 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:37.519 UK, they've got different timetables, but they all chuck in about two or 125 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:41.919 three million excuse me, two or three billion per year, and the UK 126 00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.600 said they're going to do that for at least three years. France says we're 127 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.279 going to do that for ten years. But that's the drop in the bucket 128 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.279 of something like sixty four billion of one time shot. And there's going to 129 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.840 be other one time shots down the road for the US taxpayer as well. 130 00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:00.559 Okay, and Tom, from what you're seeing, for a while, it 131 00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.879 seemed like Ukraine was making some advances, but we haven't heard any of that. 132 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:09.840 Are they taking back any land? Are they losing ground? Well, 133 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.480 again, they're not they're not making any real progress and this thing is gonna, 134 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.759 you know, carry on carry on as of right now. Again, 135 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.559 it is still a special operation that is not a total war. If Russia 136 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:28.399 wanted to really really ramp this thing up, they could. They are trying 137 00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.240 to just secure is, you know, the eastern side of Ukraine at this 138 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:37.919 stage. And that's kind of the motors Operendi they've been going with for two 139 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:43.279 years now. So no real change. Again. Russia occasionally gains a little 140 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:48.960 bit more land, but nothing dramatic. As for the Ukrainian side, No, 141 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.519 it does not look very good at all. Right now, all right, 142 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:56.559 ABC's Tom Rivers, thank you so much for the information and the update. 143 00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:00.120 Appreciate it, Dick you all right, let's get back to some The 144 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.440 story is coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Gusty Santa Ana 145 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.320 winds are headed to the Southland. A high wind watch kicks in tonight and 146 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.559 lasts through tomorrow afternoon in the eastern Santa Monica Mountains, the Malibu Coast and 147 00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.639 the San Fernando Valley. Wins also expected to blow in Santa Clarita Valley, 148 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.720 Calabasas and the Five and fourteen freeway corridors. Winds gusting up to about sixty 149 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.720 miles per hour are expected, with isolated gusts up to seventy five miles per 150 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.639 hour. A six year old girl has been attacked by a homeless man in 151 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.639 Santa Monica. The girl and her family were visiting over the weekend when the 152 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.679 man suddenly punched the little girl in the face. This woman is a family 153 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:39.799 friend and tells KTLA it was awful. I was afraid he was going to 154 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:50.200 hit her again. I was afraid that I was afraid that my friend was 155 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.639 going to get hurt protecting his kid. The family had just left an ice 156 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.279 cream shop when they walked past the man, who was on a bus bench. 157 00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.840 She just walked away after the assault. A new bill has been introduced 158 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:05.399 in California to regulate active shooter drills at schools. Assembly Member Chris Ward says 159 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:09.799 the drills sometimes include role playing with fake guns and blood. Now, when 160 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:15.480 it comes to fire drills in our schools, we don't invent actual things on 161 00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:20.279 fire and put smoke in the hallways and turn up the thermostat we should not 162 00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.360 be doing the same to our kids. When it comes to active shooter drills. 163 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:28.159 Ward says research shows the drills have been linked to increased anxiety in students. 164 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:33.480 He says the Safe and Prepared Schools Act would prohibit simulated gunshots, would 165 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.080 require drills to be age appropriate, and require schools to notify parents, teachers, 166 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:43.000 and students that there was going to be a drill. Puberty blockers have 167 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.840 been banned for miners in the UK. The country's National Health Service announced the 168 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.519 decision yesterday, saying the blockers will no longer be permitted outside of clinical trials. 169 00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.720 This comes as protests have increased against the treatment. In the US, 170 00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:01.679 spring has not yet sprung, but allergy season has. Doctor Darien Sutton says 171 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.960 people have been feeling symptoms earlier than usual. Normally, allergy season should start 172 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.240 during the month of April, but given the fact that we've seen warmer climates, 173 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:11.559 we've had a limited number of freeze days, so that means that the 174 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:16.080 plants to treat the pollen out there have not frozen as much as they normally 175 00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.440 do. The USDA says allergy seasons have twenty one percent more pollen than three 176 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:26.240 decades ago. About eighty one million people in the US were diagnosed with seasonal 177 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:30.240 allergies in twenty twenty one. You know, I think I have allergies now. 178 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:31.879 I never had them as a kid, but now I have them. 179 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:33.440 And when I go to the doctor, they go, oh, you have 180 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.360 some postnasal drip. I'm like, what the heck? I never had those. 181 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:39.399 I hate that you develop them. Later. Hey, when we come 182 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:45.759 back, we're going to be talking to KTLA's tech reporter Rich DeMuro and how 183 00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:50.600 tech is going to help you find the best restaurant ever.

A three hundred million dollar weapons shipment is 191 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.559 being sent to Ukraine. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan says the funds come from 192 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:30.320 savings the Pentagon was able to identify in army budgets. He added, it's 193 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:35.879 only a temporary fix and Congress still must pass the Emergency supplemental, which includes 194 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.159 about sixty billion dollars for Ukraine in its war with Russia. Speaking of big 195 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.480 money, there was no winning ticket sold in the Mega Million's drawing last night. 196 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.360 That pushes the jackpot for the next drawing on Friday up to seven hundred 197 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.799 ninety two million dollars. There hasn't been a jackpot winner in Mega Millions in 198 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.720 the last twenty seven drawings. Tonight's powerball drawing is worth five hundred and fifty 199 00:14:54.799 --> 00:15:00.639 nine million dollars, not too shabby At six oh five. Handle On the 200 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:05.240 news, Florida is on high alert as Haiti continues to fall apart. Right 201 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.279 now, let's say good morning to the host of Rich on Tech right here 202 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:13.360 on KFI and KTLA's tech reporter Rich Demiro. So, Rich, you have 203 00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:18.039 a way to find a great restaurant and it's all thanks to AI. Yeah, 204 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.600 and this is a great app in general if you are just dabbling in 205 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:26.960 AI. It's called Perplexity AI and it's just one of the better apps out 206 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.320 there because you can ask it questions and it kind of guides you with that 207 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.080 question. So if you don't exactly know what you're trying to ask, it 208 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:39.720 will help you with that. But then it pulls information from various sources and 209 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.000 it pulls it all together. It shows you where it's getting this information on 210 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:46.639 like a lot of AI, but they have Yelp built in now, and 211 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.759 this is really cool because now instead of searching Yelp for say, best barbecue 212 00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:54.720 restaurants in Austin, you could search perplexity and not only will it take into 213 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.240 account what Yelp says, but it will also look at a whole bunch of 214 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:03.320 other food websites and things like that to come up with a really well rounded 215 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.080 answer. Okay, so and then does it It gives you a top ten 216 00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:11.600 list or just kind of a list of the best I You know what I 217 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.639 call these AI answers book reports, because that's basically what they are are. 218 00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:18.559 They are looking at all the information from a whole bunch of different places and 219 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.559 they almost come up with a little book report. You know, the web 220 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:23.799 is just links. Yeah, so you might if you search best barbecue in 221 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:26.919 Austin, you'll probably get a whole bunch of you know, just blue links 222 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:30.960 back that say, hey, the best barbecues here, the best barbecues here, 223 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.159 the best barbecue here. This gives you kind of like a full answer, 224 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.320 like here's why this is the top barbecue place. Here's why people like 225 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.519 this place because of the ambiance. And you can do this with any city. 226 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:44.759 So I just looked up like best hikes in Hawaii with kids. I 227 00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:47.279 mean, there's a whole bunch of things you can do. I think having 228 00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:52.639 that Yelp information is really nice because it adds a nice dimension of reviews to 229 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.200 these answers. Yeah, and sometimes when I go and I look through Yelp, 230 00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:59.120 it just gets to be too much for my little brain. Oh yeah, 231 00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:02.120 it's a lot by the way. You look through Yelp and one person 232 00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:04.359 says this is the best place I've ever been, and the next person says 233 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:08.640 one star the worst, and you're like, wait what Yeah, so this 234 00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:12.400 this hopefully kind of helps you out. Have you searched for best restaurant in 235 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:18.480 la I actually I was going that's a good question. I think that's such 236 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:22.640 a subjective thing. But let's see, I'll do best steakhouse in Los Angeles. 237 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.319 How about that? No, I want to go now. I mean, 238 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.160 there's like, there's so La is such a big place, and I 239 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.119 think it's really tough to even but let's see what they say. See now 240 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.559 it says, understand the question what type of steakhouse casual or fine dining. 241 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.079 I'm gonna say fine dining. Do you have any dietary restrictions? I'm going 242 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:45.400 to say no. And so now it's looking for the best fine dining steakhouse 243 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:51.400 in Los Angeles. It found seventeen sources and as we wait on live radio 244 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:53.640 here for the answer, of course, it takes longer than it usually does. 245 00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:56.960 But maybe we'll have to come back because it's still it's still searching. 246 00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:00.400 That's oh, here we go for a fine dining steakhouse in Los Angeles. 247 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:04.839 Steak forty eight and Beverly Hills stands out. Never heard of that. I 248 00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:08.079 heard of it. Okay, well, there you go. Another notable mention 249 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:12.119 is the penthouse that Mastros and Beverly Hills. Of course, that's a very 250 00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:17.519 popular place. And let's see, is there one more that it's coming up 251 00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:18.480 with. It's writing all of this in real time, by the way. 252 00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:22.160 Okay, those are the top two it gives. So there you have it, 253 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:27.400 all right. Good to know masters always a good bet. Okay, 254 00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:32.359 So there's a new website that hopefully is going to help you because I know 255 00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:37.079 that I have run into this where your computer's slow and everybody's saying we have 256 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:41.319 the fastest internet, but who really does? Yeah, and I think this 257 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:44.359 is a great website. So if you've ever gone to that website speed test 258 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:47.039 dot net, you know, to do a quick speed test to see what's 259 00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:51.440 going on. They have now taken all of that behind the scenes information and 260 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:56.000 created a new website that reveals the all the data on internet providers in your 261 00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:00.359 zip code. Now, I'll just fair warning this does not work for every 262 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:03.200 single zip code in Los Angeles. There are some spots where it doesn't work. 263 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:06.839 But this is brand new, it's only about two days old. But 264 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:10.359 what's nice is you pop in your zip code and it will show you all 265 00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:15.480 the providers with real world speed test results. What does that mean? Instead 266 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.000 of seeing what they advertise on TV or the radio, you can actually see 267 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.920 what real people are getting for their download speeds and more importantly, their upload 268 00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:27.200 speeds. Because all of these people only advertise the download which is always really 269 00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:30.480 fast. If you're working with video or anything like that, like myself or 270 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:33.880 your business, you may want a faster upload speed as well. So it 271 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.480 reveals those numbers too, okay, And that's at speed test, dot net 272 00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:41.279 speed Test, dot net slash Performance. I also link it up on my 273 00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:45.640 Instagram at richon Tech. If you check my stories. Love that that'll make 274 00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:49.359 it easier to find. And this is always a cool thing. You score 275 00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.960 points, or you earn points with your credit card, and you earn points 276 00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:56.240 and then you want to go on vacation and then you don't know how to 277 00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:00.200 use those points to do that. Yes, impossible to use every single time, 278 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.400 or you just don't know if they're a good deal to use, or 279 00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:04.319 it's just you know, it's kind of a pain. But anyway, two 280 00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:11.440 websites to know about. One is called points Yeah Points Yeah dot com. 281 00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.880 And this is an instant free, you know website that searches. You can 282 00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:18.960 even narrow down by your credit card or airline program. So if you have 283 00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:22.000 Chase points, you can say, oh, I just want to see how 284 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:23.839 I can use those, or if you have Capital one miles, you can 285 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:27.400 see how you use those, or if you just have United miles. You 286 00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:32.079 can see how you can use those. It's it's kind of limited on the 287 00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:34.319 free search. You got to log in if you want some more, and 288 00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:37.279 then if you really want the everything, you got to pay a little bit 289 00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:41.519 for the year. There's another one called point dot me, very similar. 290 00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:45.319 I use this one all the time. Point dot me, and this one 291 00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:49.960 is really great for finding the cheapest way to fly with your points. It's 292 00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:55.480 a really great website. Again. You know, you can get three searches 293 00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:57.400 for free. No one's giving this stuff away for free in a big way 294 00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:02.119 because it's it's expensive to to do this kind of search. Okay. And 295 00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:06.119 this is for mileage or is it for also for vacation points like I don't 296 00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:08.440 know, like Hilton Honors has hotel points and stuff like that. This is 297 00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:12.160 just for airline points. Yeah, so both of these work with airline points. 298 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:15.279 Yeah. So these are just for flights, okay. And we can 299 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:19.759 find these on your website. Of course. It's Rich on tech dot tv 300 00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:25.000 and you can listen to more of Rich. He is our tech reporter and 301 00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.960 the host of Rich on Tech here on KFI Saturdays from eleven to two. 302 00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:30.440 Thank you so much. Rich, all Right, Amy, have a great 303 00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.599 day, all right, you too. Let's get back to some of the 304 00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:37.039 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The political stage is 305 00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:40.039 set and it will be a rematch for the White House in twenty twenty four. 306 00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:45.440 President Biden and former President Trump each clinched their respective parties nominations yesterday. 307 00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:48.640 Now we have to get back to work because we have the worst president of 308 00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:52.599 the history of our country. His name is Joe Biden, sometimes referred to 309 00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.759 as croocket Joe Biden, and he must be defeated. Trump says he would 310 00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:00.839 close the border, drill baby drill, and pardon people convict in the January 311 00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:04.039 sixth attack on the Capitol. On Day one, Biden issued a statement warning 312 00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:07.640 that freedom and democracy are at risk here at home in a way they have 313 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:12.200 not been since the Civil War. Recent polls show that two are basically in 314 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:17.440 a dead heat for the White House race. The La Innocence Project is argued 315 00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:22.640 DNA evidence could prove convicted killer Scott Peterson is not guilty. Peterson appeared by 316 00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.680 video in San Matteo Superior Court. Innocence Project lawyers yesterday asked for DNA testing 317 00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:30.519 they say could prove Peterson didn't kill his wife, Lacy and their unborn son 318 00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.799 in the Bay Area back in two thousand and two. The case and trial 319 00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:38.759 drew national attention twenty years ago and inspired TV movies and specials. Peterson was 320 00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:42.680 originally sentenced to death, but is now serving life without parole. A hearing 321 00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:47.680 on the DNA issue was set for May twenty ninth. Michael Monks KFI News, 322 00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:52.319 Paul McCartney and The Eagles will headline Keep the Party Going, a tribute 323 00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:56.160 to Jimmy Buffett. It's happening April eleventh at the Hollywood Bowl. Other performers 324 00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:02.759 Eric Church, Brandy Carlyle, John bon Jovi, and Kenny Chesney. Of 325 00:23:02.799 --> 00:23:07.559 course, Kenny Chesney and Buffet were good buddies. Buffett's touring and recording band, 326 00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:10.119 The Coral Reefer Band, will be part of the All Star concert. 327 00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:15.400 Ticket pre sales today. General on sale is Friday. When we come back, 328 00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:18.559 Amy's on it. I'll be taking a look at something old and something 329 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:22.720 new, and how those two look a lot of light. You're listening to 330 00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.960 a wake up call on demand from KFI AM six forty. Here's what we're 331 00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.000 following. In the KFI twenty four Hour newsroom. The stage has been set. 332 00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:36.240 President Biden and former President Trump have each clinched their party's nomination, setting 333 00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:38.880 up the rematch of the twenty twenty election. Recent polls show the two or 334 00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:44.279 basically in a dead heat in the race. It's going to be the longest 335 00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:48.160 general election campaign ever. A federal judge in San Diego has struck down a 336 00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:53.440 California law that bans people from buying more than one gun per month. California 337 00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:56.960 will likely appeal the decision over the next month, but there could be other 338 00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:03.480 state gun laws overturned based on similar arguments that state gun policy has to be 339 00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:07.960 consistent with the Second Amendment. On the national level, the Dodgers and Angels 340 00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:11.200 haven't fared too well. In a new study there ranks stadiums based on their 341 00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:15.279 concessions. The study looks at how many concessions are available plus the prices of 342 00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:21.200 beer and hot dogs. Angel Stadium ranked twenty fifth on the list of thirty, 343 00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:26.160 the Dodgers twenty seventh. The best part for concessions in the country Seattle's 344 00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:30.480 t Mobile Park at six oh five. It's handle on the news. You've 345 00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:34.680 all these police chief has resigned even though his officers were cleared of wrongdoing in 346 00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:38.640 the rob Elementary High School massacre. At five point fifty, we're going to 347 00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:42.599 be checking in with ABC Stephen Portnoy about the grilling on the Hill for the 348 00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:49.920 guy who investigated President Biden's handling of classified documents and whether either side scored any 349 00:24:49.960 --> 00:25:00.240 points. Yesterday, Amy's on it, Aami's on this, Amy's on it. 350 00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:04.920 What am I on? I'm on a lot of streaming, sometimes movies, 351 00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:08.880 sometimes books, but mainly streaming. And the reason I'm on it is 352 00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:15.279 because there is so much out there. It's so hard to find what's good. 353 00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.119 And I mean you can scroll endlessly and try to figure something out, 354 00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:22.119 but then you get a lot of misses. Because I've gotten a lot of 355 00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:25.279 misses, and then every once in a while you get a hit. But 356 00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:29.960 here's how I do it. I take rest recommendations from friends and family and 357 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.559 co workers, and then when I find something I like, or maybe even 358 00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:34.880 something I don't like, maybe to save you the time, I also pass 359 00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:37.920 that information along so hopefully I can help you out a little bit. I 360 00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:42.680 was going to be on Elle'sbeth this week. It's actually a network show. 361 00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:48.759 I believe it's CBS. Yes it is because it's on Paramount Plus, but 362 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.319 there's only one episode out so it's a little too soon to tell, so 363 00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.799 I'm going to hold off on that one. In the meantime, I came 364 00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:03.279 across the remake of Lindsay Loewen's Mean Girls from two thousand and four. It's 365 00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:07.759 the new version, starring a Gory Rice as Katie Herron. That's who Lindsay 366 00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:11.599 Loan played when she did the role. Also, Tina Fay is in this 367 00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:15.359 one. She was in the first movie too, apparently she's reprising her role 368 00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:22.640 Tim Meadows. Jenni Fisher is Katie's mom, and Busy Phillips is also in 369 00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:26.559 the show, so there's some names in there. Oh and did I mention 370 00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:29.960 John Hamm. It's kind of a cameo role, but it's kind of fun 371 00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:33.640 to see when somebody like John Hamm shows up anywhere. So Katie Heron is 372 00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:38.279 a new student at Northshoe Hi. She gets invited to join the popular girls 373 00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:42.000 known as the Plastics, and then she gets wrapped up in their world and 374 00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:48.039 kind of predictedly becomes a mean girl herself. So the acting in Mean Girls 375 00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:52.000 the new version. Oh and it's a musical, did I mention it's a 376 00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:56.480 musical. It's sort of a mix between a regular movie and a musical, 377 00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:59.480 you know how the acting in musicals tends to be a little more over the 378 00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:03.480 tops, kind of that sometimes it's almost right on part and sometimes you go 379 00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:07.480 and it's a little overacted. The music was good, but there was no 380 00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:11.079 what was I made for? Kind of song, you know, like, 381 00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:18.759 nothing like that incredibly haunting and beautiful song from Billie Eilish from the Barbie movie. 382 00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:22.839 Of course, there's a twenty twenty four twist, so there's social media 383 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:25.279 mixed in, which is kind of fun because when you go back and watch 384 00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:29.160 the first one with Lindsay Lohan, which I also watched because I wanted to 385 00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:33.119 have reference, and I had never actually seen Mean Girls, it has all 386 00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:36.319 the social media and everybody's got their phones, and you know, twenty years 387 00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:41.079 ago everybody didn't, So that's kind of a fun little differential. But there 388 00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:45.640 is the social media twist, which makes it very relevant and more like what 389 00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:48.680 would probably happen in real life. And of course a mean girl always gets 390 00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:53.319 her come up, and she does just like in the first movie. It 391 00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:57.079 is a little bit more crass than the first one, and the Mean Girls 392 00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:03.279 are even meaner, but it's still kind of a sweet story. And I 393 00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:07.079 like a story when someone gets knocked down and then gets back up learns a 394 00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:10.119 lesson, and that happens in Mean Girls, And in the end, it 395 00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:12.359 was a little bit touching and sweet. Not a great movie, but it 396 00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:15.799 was okay. And like I said, the music was okay. It was 397 00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:19.960 good, not great, So if you're looking for some light entertainment, this 398 00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:22.519 would be a good one. Again, I'm glad it's out on the stream 399 00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:26.480 and glad I didn't spend the money in movie theaters, but to be able 400 00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:29.480 to watch it at home, I think it was a good one. And 401 00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:32.359 that's what I'm on this week, and I'll let you know about Elsbeth. 402 00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:37.720 The first episode was interesting, but I'm going to reserve judgment and try to 403 00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:41.920 get a couple more episodes under my belt before I make any recommendation. Let's 404 00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:44.680 get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour 405 00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:49.920 newsroom. Researchers say nearly twenty percent of new cancer diagnoses at City of Hope, 406 00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:53.920 Orange County are for people younger than fifty. I was in shock because 407 00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:57.519 we didn't have family history of breast cancer. Orange County help Officer doctor Regina 408 00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:02.359 Cincio Kwong says she was diagnosed in twenty twenty two at just forty three years 409 00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:04.480 old. I was really into more of that healthy lifestyle, reducing all my 410 00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:07.880 risk, all kinds of different ways eating healthy. If you ask my family, 411 00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:11.400 they know that about me. And here I was faced with that diagnosis, 412 00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:15.799 but she says because of early routine screening, I was able to take 413 00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.480 care of it and be cancer free almost immediately. However, Brandon Narbini was 414 00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:22.920 diagnosed with stage four colon cancer at just forty years old. It was devastating 415 00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.319 and it really surprised me. I didn't smoke, I didn't drink. I 416 00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:29.279 have no family history of cancer. City of Hope, O C. Physician 417 00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:32.759 in Chief, doctor David Kim says cancer and people younger than fifty is projected 418 00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:37.599 to increase thirty one percent by twenty thirties. Not just an older smoking person 419 00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:42.000 who comes in. These are younger professionals who don't understand why they're being diagnosed 420 00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:47.359 with late stage cancer despite living healthy lifestyles. Kim says Orange County lead southern 421 00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:51.480 California with more than two thousand cancer diagnoses each year at City of Hope OC 422 00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:56.039 Corbin Carson k if I knews hy. That's scary. And they mentioned colon 423 00:29:56.079 --> 00:29:57.519 cancer and you may have known I had that a couple of years ago. 424 00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:02.960 So always harping on people to get those tests done, the routine testing. 425 00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:07.039 I mean, it's just it's such a good idea. It's inconvenient, but 426 00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:10.599 man, it can save your life and not that big of a deal in 427 00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:15.039 the grand scheme of things. A new bill in California could ban public schools 428 00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:19.759 from serving food that contains artificial dyes. It would prohibit synthetic food dyes blue 429 00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:23.599 number one, blue two, green three, red, forty, yellow five, 430 00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:27.240 yellow six. Those dyes can be found in foods like ice cream, 431 00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:32.920 candy, flavored milk, frozen yogurt, baked goods, breakfast cereals, and 432 00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:37.240 pudding. The authors of the bill, announced yesterday, say the state has 433 00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:41.839 the responsibility to protect children from chemicals that can cause harm and also harm their 434 00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:47.880 ability to learn. The police chief in Uvalde, Texas, is resigning. 435 00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:52.400 Chief Daniel Rodriguez announced yesterday he is stepping down on April six. The news 436 00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:56.680 comes just days after a city Council report cleared several officers of wrongdoing in their 437 00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:02.240 delayed response to the rob Elementary School shit shoting in twenty twenty two. Rodriguez 438 00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:06.720 announced his resignation in a statement, but did not mention the report or the 439 00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:12.000 mass shooting in which nineteen children and two teachers were killed. Costco is expanding 440 00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:18.759 its Kirkland signature sushi counters following the success of the first location in Washington. 441 00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.599 Costco started working on its sushi counter concept for the US in twenty twenty two 442 00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:29.200 and opened its only location last summer. The chains culinary team flew to Japan 443 00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:33.720 to study the art of sushi making and tested out recipes. It's unclear where 444 00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:37.319 the new locations will be. I hope one of them is in California. 445 00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:44.079 Costco Sushi Who Knew. Paul McCartney and the Eagles are going to headline the 446 00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:48.240 Keep the Party Going a tribute to Jimmy Buffett on April eleventh at the Hollywood 447 00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:55.000 Bowl. Eric Church, Brandy Carlyle also known as Carlyle, John bon Jovi, 448 00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:57.559 and Kenny Chesney are also going to be performing at the All Star concert. 449 00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:02.559 The ticket pre sale are today and then the general on sale is Friday. 450 00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:06.400 I have a feeling that one's going to sell out pretty quick. You're 451 00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:10.039 listening to Wake Up Call on Demand from KFI Am six forty. I'm Amy 452 00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:13.640 King. Thanks for getting your day started with us. Here's what we're following 453 00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:17.279 in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. House Republicans are moving forward with a 454 00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:22.160 vote on a bill that would effectively ban TikTok in the US. A vote 455 00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:24.640 on the measure is scheduled for today, and if passed, the ban could 456 00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:30.759 go into effect if TikTok's Chinese parent company, Byte Dance, doesn't sell to 457 00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:34.799 an American company within six months. More than one hundred million people use TikTok 458 00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:37.599 in the US. Police are looking for a homeless man who punched a six 459 00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:42.000 year old girl in the face as she left an ice cream shop with her 460 00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:45.960 family in Santa Monica. Witnesses say the attack Sunday was completely unprovoked. The 461 00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:51.000 girl's recovering at home. The Batman Part two is being delayed. The film 462 00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:54.640 was supposed to be released October third of next year, but now it's been 463 00:32:54.680 --> 00:33:00.200 pushed back to October second of twenty twenty six. The sequel will star Robert 464 00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:05.839 Pattinson as the title character. Once again, he wasn't my favorite Batman. 465 00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:08.880 We're just minutes away from handle on the news this morning. If it's artificial, 466 00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:13.680 kids in California may not be getting it at school anymore. Right now, 467 00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:19.400 let's say good morning to ABC's Stephen portnoy So Steven. Special Counsel Robert 468 00:33:19.480 --> 00:33:23.480 hur got grilled on the Hill by both Republicans and Democrats yesterday. He did, 469 00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:29.079 and it depends on your political persuasion and your view of the world and 470 00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:34.640 politics. That's the prism through which you probably saw yesterday's her testimony. And 471 00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:38.000 this is the former Special Council coming to the House Judiciary Committee to explain why 472 00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:44.079 he decided the charger should not be brought against Joe Biden for his handling of 473 00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:47.720 classified information. As you know, last month, he reported to the Attorney 474 00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:52.640 General that there should not be charges brought because while there's some evidence that Joe 475 00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:59.000 Biden willfully retained classified material and shared it with his ghostwriter, nevertheless, the 476 00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:04.359 likelihood that a jury would would convict Joe Biden is low, and for that 477 00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:09.000 reason charges should not be brought. That Herbert determined he couldn't prove it beyond 478 00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:15.079 a reasonable doubt. And so Democrats yesterday said, your report exonerates President Trump 479 00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:19.960 President Biden, and the response from Robert Hurst saying, no, that's not 480 00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:23.360 what my report does. My report does not include that word. And Republicans 481 00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:27.400 said, well, there's a double standard here because the Justice Department is bringing 482 00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:30.000 charges against Donald Trump, and Her said, well, there are key differences 483 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.000 between the two cases. As he lays out in his report. President Biden 484 00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:38.119 opened his homes to the FBI, sat for two days with her and his 485 00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:44.840 team for an interview, and on the whole Biden was cooperative while Trump was 486 00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:51.480 evasive, and it's alleged obstructed justice. You had Democrats, particularly Congressman Schiff, 487 00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:57.239 say that her had a political motivation for including in his report the fact 488 00:34:57.280 --> 00:35:00.079 that Joe Biden's memory was fading, and her push back against that and said 489 00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:04.639 that is not what his report did and that's not why he did it. 490 00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:08.119 That he had to assess the president's mental state, and he had to review 491 00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:13.599 the president's memory in order to make a determination as to whether on how a 492 00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:17.639 jury would perceive what Biden did. I thought so it was interesting when they 493 00:35:17.639 --> 00:35:22.239 were talking about that back and forth between Schiff and her because Schiff is saying, 494 00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:24.599 you are politically motivated, and he said, no, it would be 495 00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:28.480 politically motivated for me not to put it in there, because that's what I 496 00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:32.960 had to include that information to explain why I came with that determination. The 497 00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:38.119 public generally does not get to read what are called declination memos that are written 498 00:35:38.159 --> 00:35:45.039 by prosecutors inside the Justice Department for internal purposes to determine whether to pursue or 499 00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:49.920 not pursue particular cases. And most often the public sees when an indictment is 500 00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:54.199 brought because the Justice Department has decided that there is a likelihood of success and 501 00:35:54.360 --> 00:36:00.239 that it's in the interest of justice to pursue charges against an individual. Why 502 00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:02.519 that decision has made me in the reverse, we never hear about it. 503 00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:07.480 And what's rare in this circumstance is that we are reading a declination memo. 504 00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:13.960 We're seeing the internal deliberations of the Justice Department. And while Democrats say it 505 00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:17.880 was gratuitous and beyond the norms and policy of the Justice Department to put all 506 00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:22.559 this in writing, Hers says just the opposite, that this is exactly what 507 00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:28.239 prosecutors do and it's important for him to have put it in the note in 508 00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:32.639 the report so that his seniors at the Justice Department could understand his thought process. 509 00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:37.320 Yeah, it's kind of interesting then to see the secret sauce, you 510 00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:40.239 know, because, like you said, we normally just say yes, we're 511 00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:44.559 going to prosecute or no, but we don't know why. And I thought 512 00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:49.039 it was interesting to the whole likelihood of success thing. So where he said, 513 00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:53.079 oh, we found stuff, and he probably willfully took these things, 514 00:36:53.719 --> 00:36:59.760 at least that was some of the verbiage, but said if we prosecuted it, 515 00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:02.679 it wouldn't go anywhere. So well, right, And one of the 516 00:37:02.679 --> 00:37:06.119 reasons it wouldn't go anywhere, and this is in her report, and a 517 00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:07.719 lot of has been made of it, is the idea that Joe Biden would 518 00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:12.280 come off sympathetic to the jury, that he would come off as well meaning 519 00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:19.079 and forgetful and not someone who seems to have intentionally committed a crime. Here. 520 00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:22.000 Republicans view it differently. They say, all you have to do is 521 00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:25.480 look at what happened here. Joe Biden met as soon as he and before 522 00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:30.239 he left office with a ghostwriter. He had a design to write a book 523 00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:32.719 to cast himself as someone of presidential timber in the future, that he had 524 00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:38.840 an eight million dollar advance for this book, and that those all constitute a 525 00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:45.800 motive for the retention of classified materials, but which you could also argue, 526 00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:49.800 and her put this in his report. There's precedent in the case of Ronald 527 00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:55.199 Reagan. Ronald Reagan took diaries. Some of what he wrote down was based 528 00:37:55.239 --> 00:38:00.599 on and derived from classified information, particularly about Iron contract, and no one 529 00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:02.840 ever suggested, or at least the determination was made in the late nineteen eighties 530 00:38:04.039 --> 00:38:07.199 that Ronald Reagan did not commit a crime and should not be prosecuted for it. 531 00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:12.519 So if you had a former president who had classified material at least in 532 00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:16.599 his own hand, how could you charge a former vice president doing the same 533 00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:22.599 years later? And that is an argument that her said that Biden's defense lawyers 534 00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:25.800 would make to a jury, and it might be persuasive to a jury, 535 00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:30.440 and that's why he determined the charger should not be brought here. Okay. 536 00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:36.360 And so now we've had both sides yelling and screaming. Okay, they guess 537 00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:38.280 they weren't yelling and screaming. They were raising their voices a few times, 538 00:38:38.280 --> 00:38:44.280 though from what I saw and both either made their points or didn't get what 539 00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:47.920 they wanted out of it. Does anything come of this hearing, I mean 540 00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:52.920 other than this conversation. No, I don't think so. I mean, 541 00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:58.119 look, it's an opportunity for the country to It's part of history, it's 542 00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:01.159 part of our collective understanding. But does it advance the Republican effort to impeach 543 00:39:01.199 --> 00:39:05.679 Joe Biden? No, I don't think so. Does it, you know, 544 00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:09.280 help either side politically? I'm not sure. It's sort of a wash, 545 00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:12.960 but I think it, you know, for we could say, is 546 00:39:12.960 --> 00:39:15.639 this chapter's closed? The White House said yesterday it's simply case closed. I 547 00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:20.760 don't see anything more coming of it while Joe Biden is president. Okay, 548 00:39:21.199 --> 00:39:22.920 Stephen Borteno, I thank you so much for sorting it out for us. 549 00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:25.119 You bet. All right, Let's get back to some of the stories coming 550 00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:29.719 out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A landslide has slammed into a 551 00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:32.559 home in Sherman Oaks. That happened early this morning on Ventura Canyon Avenue. 552 00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:37.800 Part of the home has been destroyed and there are huge cracks around the pool 553 00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:42.760 and the property. The vice president of the LA Police Commission has reached reacted 554 00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:46.239 to a media report about the way the department uses less lethal force. Rosha 555 00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:51.039 Gurgis says a story in the La Times doesn't accurately portray a recent report on 556 00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:54.639 less lethal use of force, so you know, les lethal force is essentially 557 00:39:54.800 --> 00:40:00.320 leading to Dudley encounter. She asked Chief Troy yesterday if he agreed with that 558 00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:04.559 story, I absolutely disagree. A report was requested by the Commission after officers 559 00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:07.880 killed a man who had a plastic fork, though officers had been told he 560 00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:10.079 had a deadly weapon. Choice said he stands by their training. It's a 561 00:40:10.199 --> 00:40:15.719 less lethal option to disk late a situation, and it's not causing more lethal 562 00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:20.320 force situations. Steve Gregory king if I news, well, this sounds like 563 00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:22.400 it could be a good idea. LA City officials have launched a new effort 564 00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:29.000 to clean up trash in the often littered Westlake and Pico Union neighborhoods, including 565 00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:34.599 the deployment of dozens of new trash cans. Plan calls for ninety new trash 566 00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:40.079 bins along high foot traffic corridors like Vermont Avenue, Venice Boulevard, Washington and 567 00:40:40.079 --> 00:40:45.039 Alvarado Streets, and also surrounding MacArthur Park, which if you've driven by you 568 00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:46.960 see lots of trash there. They're going to be service six days a week, 569 00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:51.719 Monday through Saturday, and now if plief people actually exits. Had some 570 00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:55.239 new places to roam while travelers wait for takeoff. Fat sALS, Sandwich Shop 571 00:40:55.360 --> 00:41:00.599 and Yakumi which serves sushi have been added to the restaurant options terminal. Three 572 00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:05.719 jewelry store Joe Cal and Pop Socks, a place to buy extra pairs of 573 00:41:05.719 --> 00:41:09.880 stylish socks have arrived at the Bradley Westgates in the Tom Bradley International Terminal. 574 00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:15.880 Always nice to have a way to pass the time.
