Hey, it's Jennifer Jones. Lee. You're listening to KFI, a M

2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:11.400
six forty wake up call on demand
on the iHeartRadio apps toosdays aren't so bad

3
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:19.839
when they start with Jennifer Jones Light. Here she is with your morning wake

4
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:32.600
up call. Hi, guys,
I survived my thirtieth high school class reunion,

5
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:38.439
and you know what was awesome about
it is at the thirty year mark,

6
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.960
you all still sort of look the
same. There were only a couple

7
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:48.240
of times where I had to glance
down at name tags and they'd go because

8
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:51.399
I was Jenny back in the day, Jenny, and I'd be like,

9
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:56.840
hey, you big hug as I'm
going in for the hug. Is when

10
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:03.119
I can glance down at the name
tacking him all right. Anyway, I

11
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:06.120
only had to do that a couple
of times. But for the people that

12
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.480
I did have to do it too, holy cow, some people look really

13
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:17.519
different. But for the most part, it was awesome. So I appreciate

14
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:21.519
you Jason Middleton for letting me go
up to writing and fill in for me.

15
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.640
It was It was a fun trip. My nephews happened to be up

16
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:26.879
the same weekend that I was there, so I got to chill out with

17
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.920
them, and of course mom and
dad and yes, for all of you

18
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:38.319
asking on social media, she's seeing
a new guy, I am, but

19
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.560
he's not. He was my college
sweetheart. Anyway, we reconnected on Facebook,

20
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.840
so there you go. So the
guy in the pictures, yes,

21
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:52.560
seeing a new guy. His name
is Jason. I know. It's weird,

22
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:57.000
weird, but it's all good.
It's just fun to be up there.

23
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.640
It was hot. It was when
I left, or I think the

24
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.640
day of my reunion it was one
hundred two. I got here last night

25
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.919
and was like, where's the sweatshirt? It was cold and windy and rain

26
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.120
over the grape vine. In fact, we're going to talk about that coming

27
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:16.319
up at five twenty with the National
Weather Service. We've got this weird week

28
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:20.439
of weather rolling in, so I
want to get into that. Also,

29
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.159
what is going on in Ukraine this
morning. We had the press briefing yesterday

30
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:29.639
where the White House spokesman John Kirby
didn't really say whether Ukraine's counteroffensive had begun.

31
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.159
But now we've had a damn break
and it's right by the Zapparisia nuclear

32
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.759
plant. Here's the problem. The
water in that is used for the cooling

33
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.240
mechanisms on that plant, So we'll
get into that. Also, the state

34
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.199
Attorney General says he looking into possible
charges related to flights of illegal immigrants from

35
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:52.879
El Paso, Texas to Sacramento.
Did you hear what Governor Newsom said about

36
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:59.360
Florida Governor DeSantis? Oh boy,
we're getting into size again. And US

37
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:04.680
Defense Terry Lloyd Austin says courage one
over terror during a ceremony marking the seventy

38
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.840
ninth anniversary of D Day, which
is today. So let's start with some

39
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:12.360
of these stories coming out of the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Ukraine and

40
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.439
Russia have blamed each other for a
major dam wall collapsing. The wall broken

41
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:22.000
a region of southern Ukraine under Moscow's
control following a reported explosion. Officials say

42
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:25.960
the gushing water prompted warnings of ecological
disaster. Last night, they ordered some

43
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.639
people to get out. The dam
break also endangers Europe's largest nuclear plant,

44
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:37.000
that's Zapparisia, threatens the drinking water
supplies for both sides. The State ag

45
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:42.159
says he's looking into possible charges related
to flights of illegal immigrants from El Paso,

46
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.159
Texas to Sacramento. Rob Banta says
the trip was another stunt by Florida

47
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:50.319
Governor Ron De Santis and Texas Governor
Greg Abbott. Both Republican governors have flown

48
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.840
migrants to democratically controlled cities throughout the
country. Banta says the migrants were approached

49
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.199
by government contractors and told if they
sign a waiver, they could get jobs

50
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.680
and assistance in California. Grants arrived
in Sacramento on Friday and yesterday morning,

51
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:06.039
and we're taken to a church.
Bonta says he's exploring civil impossible criminal charges

52
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:14.400
against those responsible. Steve Gregory Campine
news and Governor Knewsom was not at all

53
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:20.399
happy with Florida Governor decciantists and it's
I'm paraphrasing here. I don't have the

54
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:26.480
exact words, but it was something
like he is a I think he called

55
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:31.800
him a pathetic but definitely small.
He did call him small, a pathetic

56
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:42.639
small man. Oh politics. A
new safety report shows metro bus drivers and

57
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.560
rail operators were attacked one hundred sixty
two times last year. The report was

58
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.079
presented to the Metro Board on May
twenty fifth, and also shows in March

59
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:54.879
of this year, there were twenty
three attacks, most of which were people

60
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.240
spitting on the drivers and operators,
followed by assaults with hands and fists.

61
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.240
There was also a knife attack.
Someone used a baby stroller as a weapon.

62
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.959
It's nice, Metro says. Forty
eight new transit officers have been hired

63
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:12.040
specifically to ride the buses. A
man from Pomona is facing more than twenty

64
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:16.680
years in prison for illegally smuggling eel
meat into the US from China. Prosecutors

65
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:20.240
say the meat at chemicals in it
that could cause cancer and also caused drug

66
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:25.639
resistant bacteria and fung Guy Kevin Fang
admitted that when the meat was refused entry

67
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:29.839
into the US in twenty seventeen,
he changed shipment information and mixed the eel

68
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.800
meet in with other real meat to
sneak it into the US. Homeland Securities

69
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:38.360
Eddie Wang says Feng showed complete disregard
for people's health and safety. Feng is

70
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:41.879
set to be sentenced in August.
Blake Trolley k if I News and as

71
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:46.519
Delakuta, good morning to you.
Let's talk about Prince Harry going to court

72
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:51.439
today and what is this lawsuit against
the Mirror group? Hey, good morning,

73
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:57.639
Yeah, So Harry suing the Mirror
Group for I think he's accusing them

74
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.759
of hacking his phone. This is
uh, you know, he's hacking would

75
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:04.639
have happened ten years ago. So
he's accusing them of hacking his phone,

76
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:11.560
tapping into his phone unlawfully to get
private information to then publish these tabloid newspapers.

77
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.480
The Mirror Group owns the Daily Mirror. Important to note that his senior

78
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.079
British Royal hasn't given evidence in court
for one hundred and thirty years, So

79
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:20.399
it's a big deal. What's happening
today. And we did see Harry in

80
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:25.839
court this morning. He was so
there's a lot of back and forth.

81
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.360
He testified. He talked about how
it's just some of the headlines. So

82
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.079
he said the articles caused him to
be paranoid and to distrust his friends.

83
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:36.199
He claims the articles also played a
destructive role in his growing up. He

84
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:42.160
says that some editors and journalists do
have blood on their hands. And then

85
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:47.040
he came under cross examination and was
a pretty tough and long cross examination from

86
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:51.600
the Mirror Groups lawyer. The lawyer
is bringing up a number of articles that

87
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:56.720
Harry has complained about, asking him
just how much distress each article has caused

88
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.680
him. He's trying to make the
case of the old, trying to make

89
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:04.759
the case that Harry doesn't specifically remember
when these articles were first published and when

90
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:09.199
he first read them, and specifically
what kind of impact they had on him.

91
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:14.279
Um and Harry at one point,
Um, you know, seeming a

92
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:16.360
little scattered, I think at times, and at one point saying this felt

93
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:23.040
like a workout. So we'll see
how this continues. You know, they

94
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:27.519
already took a breath. They might
take more breaks throughout the day, but

95
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:30.480
it's certainly been a lot of back
and forth there between the two sides.

96
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.079
Does it look like is this well, first off, is this a jury

97
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:38.040
trial? And if it is,
does the jury is the jury enamored by

98
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:42.839
Harry or are they looking at it
as a way a little rich boy who

99
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:46.040
seems scattered maybe doesn't really know what
went down. But at the same time,

100
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.480
yes, he was wronged, but
to what level was he wronged?

101
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.720
So you know, it's interesting.
So the public reaction to this whole thing

102
00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:59.920
has been really interesting too. It's
been really interesting to see how it's it's

103
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:03.959
been playing out. You have two
thighs, so you have you know those

104
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.519
who point out that Harry has clearly
been um on a kind of campaign against

105
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.439
the tabloids. So it's not just
this lawsuit. He and Megan have been

106
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:16.279
plaintiffs in no fewer than seven cases
against the British tabloids and other media organizations

107
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.160
over the years. And and specifically
when it comes to phone hacking and other

108
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:26.560
violations of privacy. Um we saw
in justin in March appearing in the UK

109
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:30.199
in a case that also featured Elton
John. Uh, this is against the

110
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.639
publisher of the Daily Mail, again
on charges of phone hacking. Harry also

111
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:39.679
is doing rupert rudofs that news group
newspapers also for hacking and violations of privacy.

112
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.879
So uh, this is clearly something
that that they've they've taken up that

113
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.080
this kind of war on the tabloids, if you will, and and and

114
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:50.600
you have those who say that that
you know he is he has a right

115
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.279
to do so that his you know, those who believe that the tabloids are

116
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.600
are are toxic and and and you
know if that if they are engaged in

117
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.559
phone acting, that that is certainly
unlawful and wrong, and that Harry is

118
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.159
right to go after them. And
then you do have We are seeing a

119
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.919
little bit of this in the UK
where there are those that say that this

120
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:13.600
is just too much and um and
and that it's it's um, but he's

121
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.799
taken it a step too far.
So I think in the UK that the

122
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.519
opinion is kind of divided, and
it'll be interesting to see as these um

123
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.600
lawsuits unfold what the public reaction is
like. And I do also want to

124
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.840
mention there were reports that um,
the Royal family actually that King Charles had

125
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.519
pushed for Harry not to go to
court. UM. He wanted Harry to

126
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:37.519
to settle these these suits um you
know outside the court. Um. And

127
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:43.879
the reports that that Prince William PRINCETONCE
had settled with uh Rupert Murdoch's group years

128
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.960
ago for for a large sum amount
of money and that that had avoided um

129
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:52.039
William going to court and and and
the Royal family's logic here is that going

130
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.480
to court and airing all of this
evidence uh you know in public, um

131
00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:58.720
is not good for the royal family. So UM. There were reports that

132
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:03.519
Can Charles tried to stop it,
but Harry going forward with this trial anyway,

133
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.519
all right, Always drama within the
Royal family, it seems lately.

134
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:13.000
Thanks and as I appreciate it,
Thank you all right, see you later.

135
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.440
That's Abcason as de la Kuta.
I wonder if the royal family,

136
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:20.480
I mean, they've always been in
the headlines, right, I mean,

137
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:26.960
it's it's it's fun for us to
watch this because it's it's kind of foreign

138
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:31.960
to us, the whole royal family
kind of thing. And so sometimes I

139
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:39.399
look at it and it's sort of
just this fun like docu drama that I'm

140
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.399
watching because I don't really get it. I'm gonna, of course, I

141
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:48.279
get it historically, but at the
same time, we don't have a king,

142
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.080
we're not princess, and it's just
kind of fun to get caught up

143
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:58.399
in it. But then when there's
something like this and you realize it's more

144
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:00.960
than just the king telling one of
the princess, hey, don't go to

145
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.279
court, it's a little bit bigger
than that. It's like dad telling you,

146
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.799
hey, don't go to court because
you're screwing with the family. That

147
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.679
makes a big difference when you look
at it that way. So we'll see

148
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:18.240
how this plays out. US Defense
Secretary Lloyd Austin says courage one over terror

149
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.759
during a ceremony marking the seventy ninth
anniversary of D Day, which is today.

150
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:28.080
Austin spoke out of ceremony at the
American Cemetery in Normandy, France.

151
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.360
We veterans of World War Two,
we salute you. You save the world.

152
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.080
We much merely defended. D Day
was the invasion of the beaches at

153
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:43.480
Norman d by troops from the US, Canada, and the UK, as

154
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.080
well as other Allied countries. The
US National D Day Memorial Foundation says more

155
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.039
than four thousand Allied troops were killed
in the largest naval, air, and

156
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:58.559
land operation in history. The LA
County Border Supervisors is expected to formally support

157
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.039
the WGA strike. The board says
it believes the guild's demands are reasonable and

158
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.679
necessary. If the board solidarity motion
is approved today, a letter signed by

159
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.200
all five board members will go to
producers expressing their support and urge the group

160
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:16.559
representing the studios to head back to
the bargaining table. And A man's been

161
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.679
arrested in connection with multiple threats to
the school, students and staff at Luguna

162
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.480
Hills High School. There's at least
fourteen victims. Ocie Sheriff's Sergeant Mike Woodrufe

163
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.600
says Eugene Jenkins allegedly made bomb threats, death threats, and calls claiming a

164
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:33.840
possible shooter was approaching the campus.
This can cause a lot of emotion in

165
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:39.080
the community because of today's society with
the concern of weapons and people doing the

166
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:45.919
unthinkable on school campuses. Woodrufe says
Jenkins was arrested during stakeouts at known locations

167
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.600
where the threats were made in anticipation
of additional threats during graduation season in Orange

168
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:56.080
County, Corbin Carson k if I
knew Ukraine and Russia have blamed each other

169
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.679
for a major dam wall collapsing.
That wall broke in a region of southern

170
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:05.600
Ukraine after Moscow's control following a reported
explosion. Sag AFTER members have told their

171
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:07.840
union they're good with the union calling
a strike if it doesn't come to a

172
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:11.519
contract agreement by June thirtieth. The
vote was approved by a ninety eight percent

173
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:15.600
margin, just under half the one
hundred and sixty thousand members voted. The

174
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:20.159
national executive director of sag AFTER says
going into talks knowing members have already authorized

175
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:24.600
to strike will give the union leverage
negotiations are expected to start tomorrow. Sticking

176
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:28.320
points include compensation and less residuals due
to a shift to streaming. AI is

177
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.840
also an issue, and the union
wants more regulations on how actors, voices

178
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:35.480
and images are used. SAG members
last went on strike in two thousand in

179
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:41.039
a dispute over their commercials contract.
Amy King KFI News, the June gloom

180
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:46.360
is back, and maybe even some
storms. Let's talk with the National Weather

181
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:50.120
Service meteorologist Todd Hall. Todd,
good morning to you. I was driving

182
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.639
the grape Vine last night and sure
enough, for about five minutes, I

183
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:58.080
got a good little shower, just
enough to really make the truck look alful.

184
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:01.480
Yes, we're in We're in June, June. This is a very

185
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.080
very much a staple of southern California
weather. Okay, so what can we

186
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:11.440
expect this week and will we see
some storms on the way. So in

187
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.679
general, we have this persistent trough
or persistent low pressure area that's been anchored

188
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:18.480
along the West coast. That's been
a common theme through a really since since

189
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:24.440
April um and we've had this persistent
little trough just hanging out along the along

190
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.159
the West coast. And that's actually
has brought us that onshore flow and continues

191
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.159
to bring us that those nights through
morning low clouds and fog and and as

192
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:37.440
that you know, we've really we've
had for the last really our last offshore

193
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.679
day was was that we've recorded in
the La Basin was April twenty second,

194
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:45.279
and that was just for a brief
just one brief day, and then everything

195
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.519
else has been pretty much on shore
um the roof, so that continues,

196
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.240
those low clouds and flog so um. So yeah, that's unfortunately, I

197
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:56.399
mean, this is kind of the
thing we're looking at throughout the rest of

198
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:00.120
the week. We're going to see
more of this on shore flow and long

199
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.559
arms for flow keeping those that those
night and morning low clouds hugging the coast

200
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.960
each day. Is this odd for
there to be a drop that hangs out

201
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:13.799
for so long? No, I
mean you can get in weather patterns where

202
00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:16.200
you end up in getting a weather
pattern for about six weeks or so,

203
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:18.759
six day weeks. That's what I
learned when I was kind of getting into

204
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:22.879
weather here in southern California. So
it can it can be very persistent.

205
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:26.080
Um, you know, just looking
at some of the statistics, I mean

206
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.960
we have a data basically goes back
to nineteen eighty nine here in the office

207
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:35.759
that we keep and unfortunately we don't
have in in meteorology, we don't we

208
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.840
keep thirty year and normals that we
keep those thirty year normals until we look

209
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.159
at a thirty year period to develop
some sort of climatology with us. So

210
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:48.600
we're out quite at that moment.
But you know, generally, since since

211
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:52.720
April first, about seventy nine percent
of our days we've had the nights morning

212
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:56.600
low clouds and fog, and then
about forty five percent have not either cleared

213
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.159
during the during the afternoon hours or
they've hung in until the afternoon hour.

214
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.399
So it has seemed quite gloomy really
since about I would say about mid April.

215
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:08.960
I like the forecast in the sense
of fire danger because you keep that

216
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:12.960
humidity in. That's going to make
it at least easier if something breaks out

217
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.720
for fire crews to go into this. But how long might we be in

218
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:21.799
this period of Okay, it's going
to be a little bit cooler, a

219
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:25.639
little bit more wet, before we
have to start worrying about the fire danger

220
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:29.679
really kicking in when things start to
dry out. Well, I mean we've

221
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:32.919
we already had a reminder this week
and at the Ald Valley, so so

222
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:36.440
they've been dealing with the Danny fire
the last couple of days, and so

223
00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:40.919
they've they've had that reminder of those
grass fires that can develop pretty quickly.

224
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:45.120
So I mean, it's it's all
in a frame of reference. So as

225
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:48.159
as we're nice and cool out in
the desert, it's actually it's actually fairly

226
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:52.080
dry, and so that that is
is a frame of reference. But eventually

227
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:56.440
what's going to happen is we're going
to break out of this period and get

228
00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:00.399
into summer. This is this is
a nice reprieve because we have the onshore

229
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:06.119
flow and keeping the more moist air
in place. But we know by fall,

230
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:08.039
I mean, we're going to be
back into this where we have a

231
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:15.400
potential for offshore flow and Santana's and
all that stuff to come back into the

232
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.160
forecast. Yeah, it was in
northern California over the weekend, reading specifically,

233
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.240
and it was one hundred two and
I said, welcome home, this

234
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.039
is very normal. And then I
got home last night here to SOCl and

235
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.720
it was cold. I mean,
like grab a sweatshirt, it's cold.

236
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:34.119
Outside, So what do we have
as far as the forecast this week?

237
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:38.039
Can you just kind of give us
the day to day again, we're going

238
00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:44.119
to continue see this this night through
morning, low clouds, lingering. As

239
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:45.759
far as as far as what we're
looking at for the rest of the week

240
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:51.400
here, we're looking at this onshore
flow to continue, and so we have

241
00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:56.519
mostly cloudy days that we're looking at
with some night through morning night through morning

242
00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:03.319
drizzle continuing until least Wednesday. And
then you know, we forecasts when you

243
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:06.720
go out in the long range still
is cloudy, cloudy, cloudy, cloudy,

244
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:11.039
with with you know, more of
this, more of this low clouds

245
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:14.759
and fog lingering at the at the
beaches each day at least. All right,

246
00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:18.279
thank you so much, Todd.
I appreciate your time. All right,

247
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:21.279
thank you, have a good one. See you later. That is

248
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:26.079
a National Weather Service meteorologist, Todd
Hall. But you know what, let's

249
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.440
take it because we're all going to
be complaining very quickly about one hundred degree

250
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:34.400
heat, right and we'll be like, oh, remember that remembered back in

251
00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:40.240
the day when we had that trough
sitting off the coast and it gave us

252
00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:44.400
the June gloom. It was just
seventy for a couple of weeks. That's

253
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:48.960
all I see as far as highs
mid sixties, very low seventies through this

254
00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:55.279
week, with a twenty percent chance
of showers this morning. Let's get back

255
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:57.480
to some of these stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

256
00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:03.160
There was a nurse by a falling
branch in Costa Rica who needed one hundred

257
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:08.759
thousand dollars medically staffed plane to get
home to Orange County Providence Mission Hospital Mission

258
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:15.920
VAO. Doctor Robert Goldberg says Diana
Noizella's spinal cord was damaged. Spinal cord

259
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:18.039
acts like a telephone line between the
brain and the rest of the body,

260
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.960
sending signals from the brain to the
body and back to the brain. So

261
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.519
if the SPOONI cord gets injured,
those signals cannot be sent, which she

262
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.240
says can lead to paralysis. So
there was a go fund me that passed

263
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:34.599
the one hundred eighty two thousand mark
that was used to help fly the nurse

264
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:41.599
home safely. On Saturday, Nizella
oversees the Spinal and Neuroscience Institute at Providence

265
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:45.960
where she now needs care. Oh
look, I just got goose bump.

266
00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:49.799
Those stories are crazy to me.
Police say two people were shot during a

267
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:55.559
food truck robbery in South la residence
near Grammercy Park say they heard dozens of

268
00:19:55.640 --> 00:20:00.640
gunshots where police recovered multiple shell casings. Local resident and Garcia says she has

269
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:06.039
never seen street vendors robbed in that
area before. I definitely feel comfortable going

270
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:10.200
to food trucks and bringing my family. I don't see any issues with it.

271
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.319
I've never personally ran into any issues. Police say two people were treated

272
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:18.599
at a hospital after the shooting yesterday
around midnight. Officials say this is the

273
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.519
fifth report of a food truck robbery
in LA in the last week. Chris

274
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:27.039
Adler KFI News, and let's start
with the fact that this study I'm about

275
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:33.640
to tell you about was commissioned by
a mattress company, which I think is

276
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:38.279
very funny. A new study says
it takes less than twenty minutes for someone

277
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:41.920
in the US. I don't know
why the US specifically, and not in

278
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:47.559
the UK or whatever, to know
if they want a second date. The

279
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:53.599
study, again was put together by
a mattress company. Survey two thousand single

280
00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:57.599
people last month. Now, the
study says many gen zers. Gen xers

281
00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:04.000
say they have high steam and nerds
people say manners, personality, and conversation

282
00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:11.720
skills ranked higher than good looks.
Taylor, did you ever do speed dating?

283
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:17.599
Absolutely not. My friend told me
we're oh, yeah, let's just

284
00:21:17.640 --> 00:21:19.680
go to dinner. That's when I
was living in San Francisco. My friend

285
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:23.160
Lisa, actually, who's on my
you want to see? Uh? Lisa,

286
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:30.440
She's on my Facebook and Instagram.
Sucker you into a speed dating.

287
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:34.759
We get to the restaurant and it
says speed dating downstairs, and I looked

288
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:41.680
at her and I say you yes, something came out. It was the

289
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:47.759
worst experience of my life. There's
a reason there's always a speed dating scene

290
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:52.000
in comedy movies. Yes, forty
year old virgin I always go straight to

291
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:56.960
that scene. I did go out
with two of the guys. Okay,

292
00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:00.480
horrible. Yeah, I don't know
what you expected. I don't know what

293
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:03.119
I expected either. But one guy
got mad in the middle of our date

294
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:07.519
and was like, this is not
going the way that I thought it would,

295
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.680
And I was like whoa. At
the restaurant though I made him pay

296
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:12.880
for it, here you go.
Oh yeah. I walked out. I

297
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:18.240
said I'm good, Yeah, thanks
for nothing. The other guy was nice,

298
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.839
but then I think I think I
got I don't know, not ghosted.

299
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:26.960
But he was like, hey,
so my mom's having hip surgery.

300
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:30.279
Oh so I probably can't like do
this for a while, but could I

301
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:33.000
call you next month? You gotta
walk my fish, I'll bear it back.

302
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:36.319
Yeah. I was like, I
think I just got dissed. Yeah,

303
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:38.640
or this guy's really weird and it's
like asking me, can we can

304
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:45.480
we do a thirty day hiatus?
What? All right? Don't you to

305
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:49.039
press the pause button on your interactions? Thanks? After like that, we

306
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:52.279
did go on two dates, but
it was very odd. You guys,

307
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.160
don't speed date. Don't speed date. People do not speed date. Get

308
00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:00.759
out there right bar or something,
and you can swipe after swipe right.

309
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:03.839
Sure, but the speed dating thing, online dating thing is just a it's

310
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:07.039
a hard stop. I just met
a woman, a woman I went to

311
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.400
high school with, over the weekend
who had this lovely husband. He was

312
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:15.640
in Chicago, she was here,
and they were on Tinder found each other.

313
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:18.880
Sure, I mean one in three
hundred's gonna I mean, you hit

314
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.279
your head hard enough on the wall, you're gonna make a dent. Eventually,

315
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:29.559
I adore you. You can see
pictures from my reunion. It was

316
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:37.400
a crazy weekend. Jennifer Jones radio
on Instagram and I think it's still Jennifer

317
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:41.440
Jones. I don't know. I
got rid of Lee, you guys.

318
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:45.400
I dropped Lee anyway, Okay,
hell now I don't even know what it

319
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:49.240
is. Karen Travers, good morning
to you. This was the hot topic

320
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:56.359
at least the Ukraine Russia war yesterday
because you had Ukraine's counter offensive being questioned

321
00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:59.839
as to whether or not it has
begun. What did the White House spokesman

322
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.359
on Kirby have to say, you
know, in terms of the timing,

323
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:07.799
he is not saying much. And
that's been pretty standard from the administration on

324
00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:11.880
this Ukraine counter offensive. It's been
long expected at this point. A lot

325
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.759
of questions yesterday at the White House
briefing about whether or not it had started,

326
00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:21.119
when the timing might get under way, and just kind of the assessment

327
00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:25.799
of the administration about this counter offensive. And Kirby's standard answer on this is

328
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:30.279
We're going to let the Ukrainians say
what is happening on the ground and give

329
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:36.319
their assessment on the timeline and day
to day updates on what's happening. But

330
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:40.519
for the administration, their point is
they feel very confident that over the last

331
00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:44.200
six to eight months, the United
States has done everything it can to get

332
00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:48.480
the Ukrainians prepared for this moment,
whether that is giving training, weapons,

333
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.759
systems, supplies, anything that they
have asked for that the United States feels

334
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:56.039
that they need for this moment.
They say that they are ready and ready

335
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:00.440
to go. Why be kg about
it? What is the strategy behind that?

336
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:06.160
I think it's that they want to
you know, they'll say, it's

337
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:08.400
not our war. We are there
to support, we are there to train,

338
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:12.480
We are there to help the Ukrainians
and assist, but we are not

339
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:17.160
dictating what they should be doing,
and we are not going to give day

340
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:21.480
to day updates in terms of like
the battle plan or what's happening on the

341
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:26.119
ground. I specifically asked about Ukrainian
Presidents Zolenski's assessment of casualties that might happen

342
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:32.960
because of Russia's superior air power and
when this town or offensive starts. Zolensky

343
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:37.200
said he feels that the Ukrainians are
going to suffer significant casualties on the ground,

344
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.279
and John Kirby would not weigh in
on that, saying, you know,

345
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:45.440
it's not up to us to say
and assess what casualties must be like

346
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.640
or might be like. That's what
we will pay attention to the Ukrainians on.

347
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:52.480
We will take their lead on that
and listen to what they have to

348
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:56.960
say. But I think it's because
they just don't want to be that involved

349
00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:03.240
in the minutia and sort of been
as dictating what's happening there. All right,

350
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:06.200
Karen, thank you so much.
I appreciate you explaining it all.

351
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:10.799
Have a great day, you two, see you later. ABC's Karen Travers

352
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:18.000
and I get that we do not
know what the day to day operations are

353
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:23.200
until we are told by our sources
and Ukrainian officials. I get that,

354
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:26.400
so I can see where they'd be
like, Ah, don't make us the

355
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:30.480
front runner on this when it comes
to having us explain what's going on on

356
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:36.039
the ground. That absolutely makes sense. All right, let's get back to

357
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:40.720
some of these stories coming out of
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom newsroom.

358
00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:45.759
That is, the SEC has soon
binance. It's the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange,

359
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:49.960
and it's CEO for the Mishandling of
billions of dollars. ABC's Rebecca Jarvis

360
00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:55.359
says it's another hit to crypto following
the downfall of rival FTX last year.

361
00:26:55.480 --> 00:27:00.759
Finance was the other marquee name,
and at least by the public record,

362
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:08.599
Finance was doing even more transactions than
FTX. Finance was sued yesterday. The

363
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:15.400
SEC alleges the company acted in blatant
disregard of US securities laws. Finance,

364
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:19.880
however, says the company takes the
allegation seriously, but says the agency's accusations

365
00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:26.279
are unjustified. Cannabis coffee shops,
what do you think about this? They

366
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:30.319
could soon be coming to a city
near you. So California pass this sixty

367
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:37.759
four to nine last week that allows
local governments to license kind of Amsterdam style

368
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:42.599
cannabis cafes. San Francisco as Similarman
Matt Haney says the bill allows struggling cannabis

369
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:49.799
businesses to pivot from the dispensary model
and bring tourist dollars into empty downtowns.

370
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:55.400
He says people want to enjoy cannabis
while drinking coffee, eating a scone,

371
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:00.359
or listening to music. Do you, I don't know, what are your

372
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:06.680
thoughts? Jen, I don't,
I don't do I do nothing. I'm

373
00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:11.079
so freaking boring when it comes to
okay, I stop drinking. You used

374
00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:15.519
to be an enjoy your of spirits, yes, and the bits to go

375
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:18.480
to bars, right, used to
used to be somebody that went out and

376
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:22.599
about and had time with friends.
Oh. I also think about this is

377
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:27.160
just another avenue for people to have
those experiences, but more targeted at something

378
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:33.119
that's kind of a different experience.
I'm not sure because I don't know,

379
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.400
so that I kind of can't speak
to this one. Do you when you're

380
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:41.920
smoking? Do you want to sit
there and smoke while you're drinking coffee,

381
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:48.880
eating a scone or listening to music? Why not? Why not? Or

382
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.880
why not have it in your coffee
or in your scone? Okay, I

383
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:55.720
can see that, right, I
can see that it becomes more of an

384
00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:57.880
experience. But just say that you're
going to sit there and what have you're

385
00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:00.839
edible? And then you're gonna have
your scone? And where are they going

386
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:07.079
to sell? Cheetos? Maybe Doritos? Why not? Matt Haney says there

387
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:11.920
is no good reason from an economic, health or safety standpoint, that the

388
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:19.079
state should make it illegal. A
school board in Oklahoma has voted to approve

389
00:29:19.400 --> 00:29:25.119
what would be the first publicly funded
religious school in the country. So the

390
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:30.880
board voted three to two to approve
the Catholic Archdiocese of Oklahoma's application. The

391
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:34.279
online public charter school would be open
to students in kindergarten through twelfth grade.

392
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:45.640
The state Attorney general says the decision
violates Oklahoma's constitution. I'm just wondering separation

393
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:52.000
of church and state. How that
plays into not just the state's overall constitution,

394
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:56.799
but the constitution period, right,
And it's not the fact that there

395
00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:00.319
can't be religious schools. They're a
religious Catholic schools, you know, Jewish

396
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:04.759
schools. Handle talks about his daughters
going to a religious school all the time.

397
00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:10.759
So I'm not one hundred percent sure
how this would violate there the states.

398
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:15.799
Sorry, yes, I said,
violet violate the state's decisions. But

399
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:18.599
I find it interesting. Oh,
I find this really interesting. A really

400
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:23.279
cheesy rest stop has opened in Joshua
Tree, but only for a week.

401
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:27.599
The Cheese It Stop is a converted
tourist attraction along twenty nine Palms Highway called

402
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:32.240
The Station, where a twenty foot
service attendant named Big Josh towers next to

403
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:34.279
the building. Instead of gas,
the pumps now fill your car with cheese

404
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:38.640
Its packages literally shoot out of the
hose and inside the cheeset Souvenir shop with

405
00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:42.240
branded merchandise and of course, unique
flavors of cheese its, white cheddar grooves

406
00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:45.200
in my personal fave, the bright
red and yellow cheese at Shop, complete

407
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:48.799
with cheese themed graffiti in the bathroom
and cheese It blooms on the cacti around.

408
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:52.559
The shop is open ten to six
daily through Sunday. Amy King kf

409
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:55.519
I knew, oh, I didn't
know I was going to have to fight

410
00:30:55.559 --> 00:31:00.200
Amy over her cheese It choice white, Huddar blue, regular old cheese Its.

411
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:04.480
That was my snack on the drive
home yesterday. Let's say good morning

412
00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:10.079
now to doctor Katherine Kelso, who
is Deputy Director of the VA Office of

413
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:15.680
Geriatrics and Extended Care Veterans Health Administration. Doctor Kelso, good morning to you.

414
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:22.279
This is such an important topic because
it's rare to find somebody who has

415
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:27.880
not experienced someone with Alzheimer's in their
family, and this being Alzheimer's Awareness Month.

416
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:33.759
Knowing what research is happening out there
is a huge, huge thing for

417
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:37.680
a lot of us. So doctor, thank you for your time this morning.

418
00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:41.119
How is the VA sort of paving
the way when it comes to the

419
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:45.079
research and treatment of Alzheimer's Well,
thank you, good morning. Yes.

420
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:52.440
The VA offers a wide variety of
healthcare services that include medical care, and

421
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:57.559
we supplement that with home care services
and potentially long term care if the veteran

422
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:01.359
can no longer reside, saylee in
their home. One of the areas that

423
00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:09.799
Vageriatrics is focused on is understanding that
challenges that rise with aging, and we

424
00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:15.440
want to be able to support our
veterans and their caregivers as they navigate these

425
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:19.400
challenges to live as well as they
can for as long as they can in

426
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:23.759
the least restricted environment. The VA
had come under scrutiny years ago for not

427
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:29.720
doing enough for the veterans, but
it sounds like now there's a huge shift

428
00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:34.240
and you guys are going above and
beyond to make sure that not just in

429
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:37.559
your care, but like you were
saying outside, in their homes, that

430
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:43.559
they are getting the proper help.
Yes, and VA is positioned very well

431
00:32:43.599 --> 00:32:47.680
to care for veterans. We understand
their needs and our staff are specially trained

432
00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:52.119
to serve veterans. But we understand
that a veteran is not going to be

433
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:57.920
able to remain in their home,
which is their preference, without caregiving support.

434
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:04.440
Anybody that's been a caregiver for those
that have Alzheimer's understands the journey.

435
00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:09.240
There's ups and downs, it's lengthy, it's intense, and we like to

436
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:15.799
offer our caregiver's respite. We offer
in home services everything that we can provide,

437
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:22.640
either aid to come in that VA
will purchase, or our Veteran directed

438
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:27.640
program where the veteran can hire their
own caregiver. If there is somebody out

439
00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:30.799
there who is a caregiver for a
veteran, how can they get in touch

440
00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:34.680
with you guys. Maybe they've been
doing it on their own and didn't even

441
00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:38.160
realize that you guys were there to
help. Yes, So on our website,

442
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:45.079
we have a comprehensive website VA dot
gov slash Geriatrics, and there is

443
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:52.160
a caregiver section on there, and
there's education, There are resources and lots

444
00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:55.680
of information about how to get help. When it comes to what you guys

445
00:33:55.680 --> 00:34:01.200
have done recently to really sort of
flip the narrative to show that it's not

446
00:34:01.279 --> 00:34:05.880
just in your care but as you're
pushing here at home. What is it

447
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:09.119
specifically that you have done over the
last couple of years. Let's say that

448
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:15.519
it made this possible. Now,
what we are currently in the process of

449
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:20.280
is the largest rollout of our home
care programs in VA history. We are

450
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:23.639
rolling out home based primary care,
which has been in place, but now

451
00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:29.239
we are increasing that. That is
where the veteran can get primary care in

452
00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:32.360
their home so they don't have to
travel out and that team will come and

453
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:37.000
see them in their home and support
the caregiver. We also are expanding our

454
00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:43.880
Veteran Directed which will be at every
medical center within the next eight quarters.

455
00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:50.679
And we are expanding our medical Foster
home, which is community residential homes where

456
00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:54.800
three veterans can reside because they are
at a level where they need nursing home

457
00:34:54.840 --> 00:35:00.840
care, but it's so much more
satisfying to live in a home environment than

458
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:07.960
in a traditional nursing home setting,
so we are instituting that this year as

459
00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:12.559
well. I had no idea that
you guys ran a program like that.

460
00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:19.119
Yeah, that's phenomenal. I love
that idea because you're right. Putting them

461
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:22.679
in an environment like that might help
them. It keeps them social they're not

462
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:25.199
isolated, but at the same time
they're getting the care that they need.

463
00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:29.760
That one blows my mind. I
love hearing that. Yes, it's a

464
00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:31.960
great it's a great program, one
that we're so excited about. And we

465
00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:36.960
do believe that there are many people
in the community that want to serve,

466
00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:40.599
that will step up for this program. Oh my gosh, undoubtedly. All

467
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:44.599
right, So again, if you
would give everybody the information, because there

468
00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:46.360
might be caregivers out there who say, I want to step up and help

469
00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:50.320
with one of those foster programs.
Or again, like I said, a

470
00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:53.679
caregiver out there who had no idea
that you guys had resources to help them.

471
00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:58.639
Where did they go? Correct?
They go to VA doc of slash

472
00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:02.559
Geriatrics. You are awesome, doctor, Thank you so much for highlighting this.

473
00:36:02.760 --> 00:36:06.639
I appreciate it, and God bless
you in the VA for the work

474
00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:09.880
that you're doing. Thank you all
right, take care that is doctor Katherine

475
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:15.400
Kelso, Deputy Executive Director of the
VA Office of Geriatrics and Extended Care Veterans

476
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:21.800
Health Administration. I had no idea
they had those foster programs. I know

477
00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:24.599
it sounds it sounds odd to you
know, maybe call it a foster program.

478
00:36:25.199 --> 00:36:32.599
But how often do you see a
veteran on I mean even on the

479
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:38.800
street necessarily, but you feel,
you feel that isolation for them. I

480
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:44.639
mean, gosh, anybody who is
in some sort of assisted care usually it's

481
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:47.840
them and a caregiver, right,
But how wonderful if it would be where

482
00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:52.800
they would have a place with like
that lack of a better word, like

483
00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:59.519
minded people that kept their socialization up, but that also got them the proper

484
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:05.039
care. Oh. I love that
Apple is unveiled a mixed reality headset and

485
00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:09.039
it can be yours for the low
low price of thirty five hundred dollars.

486
00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:16.760
Yesterday's Vision pro announcement is ben called
the company's biggest product kickoff in years.

487
00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:22.119
Apple CEO Tim Cook says VR is
more than just a phase. You can

488
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:29.760
see here and interact with digital content
right in your physical space. And this

489
00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:35.079
is a huge idea. Well,
just like something you would see in kind

490
00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:37.960
of a sci fi film. The
Googles can just record and play back three

491
00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:42.960
D images and videos. They can
access iPhone home screens, play movies.

492
00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:46.719
It's all controlled by your eye and
hand movement and supports more than a hundred

493
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:52.519
video games. There's a musical rehab
program for young people that could be coming

494
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:58.679
to detention centers in La County.
It is a motion by the Board of

495
00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:04.960
Supervisors that calls for the county to
contract a fourteen year old nonprofit specializing in

496
00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:10.760
bringing music education and performances to underserved
kids. This nonprofit would develop develop a

497
00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:15.519
Drum Corps program. The training would
be two hours a day, two days

498
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:20.679
a week for thirty weeks. The
Board's consideration comes weeks before a deadline to

499
00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:29.039
clear juvenile halls. Have you heard
about this one of a kind home in

500
00:38:29.199 --> 00:38:34.199
Alhambra. There is a realtor who
is legit trying to sell this house.

501
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:40.559
It's below street level, it's down
a spiral staircase. Kind of kind of

502
00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:45.559
sounds cool, right, But the
reason that it's got that kind of weird

503
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:51.719
setup is because it's built into the
side of a bridge overlooking the Alhambra Washed

504
00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:55.000
So essentially, you would be buying
a home that is built into the side

505
00:38:55.119 --> 00:39:01.199
of a bridge. It is one
bedroom, one bath, and it's going

506
00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:07.679
for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. However, if you buy this property,

507
00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:12.760
you need to fix the leaks,
of which I don't know how many

508
00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:20.719
there are and spend an estimated three
thousand dollars on mold abatement. So if

509
00:39:20.760 --> 00:39:25.199
you like a place that's a little
leaky and a little moldy smelling, built

510
00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:30.920
inside a bridge or built onto a
bridge, I've got something to sell you

511
00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:37.000
in Alhambra. I want to see. I bet there's a bidding war.

512
00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:42.519
I seriously bet there's a bidding war. A space that's two hundred and fifty

513
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:46.719
thousand dollars that needs three thousand dollars
immediately and repairs. Somebody is going to

514
00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:52.599
buy this and somebody else is going
to try and bid them out. Ah

515
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:55.840
the market. We lead local live
