I personally like the old animated one, but 12 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.200 I was like, oh yeah, so now they're doing backstories on lions. 13 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.120 I love this, but it's not coming out till December. I think they're 14 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:21.959 trying to get us hyped up a little bit too early. But it looks 15 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.439 really cool, so be watching that. Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. 16 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.760 Columbia University says it is limiting campus access to students and essential employees. 17 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:36.560 Now that pro Palestinian protesters have smashed windows and broken into a building on the 18 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:41.680 campus, dozens of students are now occupying Hamilton Hall in protest of what the 19 00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:48.000 group calls the university's complicity and genocide. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed 20 00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:52.719 to send ground troops into Rafa with or without a deal as ceasefire talks with 21 00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:56.640 Hamas continue. Israel's put up an offer. Amas is looking into it, 22 00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.159 but has not agreed to it. Former President Trump will be in court in 23 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.840 New York for day number nine of his hush money trial. We're gonna get 24 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.519 caught up with what happened last and what's on tap for today when we talk 25 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:12.080 with ABC's Peter Hairalumbus at the bottom of the hour at six ZHO five. 26 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.000 It's handle on the news. California is going to buy a bunch of generic 27 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:19.560 narcn They're going to save some lives and save some money. Let's get started 28 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.639 with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 29 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:28.120 A pro Palestinian protesters tried to tase a man outside an anti Israel student camp 30 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.080 at UCLA. The woman allegedly walked onto campus from the street, ripped an 31 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:35.360 Israeli hostage flyer off a fence, and then tried to rip the photo. 32 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.719 This man says he tried pulling the sign away from the woman when she pulled 33 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:40.439 out a taser and tried to zapp it, pully on my hat, throwing 34 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:43.759 my goggles off. I don't know. I she was all over me, 35 00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.479 so I just walked away. Try to call security. No, the security 36 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.360 didn't do anything. The woman can be seen on video hitting the man and 37 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.560 then flipping off the crowd as bystanders recorded the fight. Yesterday, UCLA has 38 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:58.400 added a metal fence with security guards to keep the public out of the protesters 39 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:02.039 camp. Chris Adler, Yeah Fine News protests that UCLA got heated overnight. 40 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:13.080 Police were called in when dozens of pro Israel protesters tried to breach a barricade 41 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.919 where pro Palestinian protesters have set up tents. The pro Israel side also used 42 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:23.159 a megaphone to shout messages and played music outside the camp. Several items were 43 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:27.360 thrown during the scuffle. Campus police broke it up. Investigators have ruled out 44 00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.400 arson as a possible cause of a fire on the ocean side pier. They 45 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:35.879 say they're trying to see if the fire last week stemmed from an electrical issue, 46 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:39.159 since arson teams and dogs didn't find anything suspicious. The city is working 47 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:44.120 on installing temporary fencing to block the damaged end of the pier, and the 48 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:47.360 Coastguard has restricted areas around the pier one hundred yards for boats and one hundred 49 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:53.800 feet for swimmers and surfers. Governor newsom'sys twenty five percent of all vehicles sold 50 00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:58.360 in California at least new vehicles, were zero emission vehicles last year, and 51 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.639 the governor says that's a good number considering he wants California to sell only zero 52 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:06.039 emission vehicles by twenty thirty five. California dominates in this space. We want 53 00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:10.599 to obtain that leadership, maintain that dominance. Newsom says. As of this 54 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:14.840 weekend, there is one fast charging EV station for every five gas stations in 55 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.639 California. To help build his vision of a greener state, Newsom says one 56 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.720 hundred five thousand public or shared private EV chargers have been installed on top of 57 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:26.839 the more than five hundred thousand at home chargers. Steve Gregor k if I 58 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:30.560 News. Now, let's say good morning too, ABC's Jim Ryan. Jim. 59 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.680 You know they say that there's a tornado Alley in the US, and 60 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.240 they're not kidding. Oh no, my goodness. There's what is going on? 61 00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:43.079 Yeah, well, it's springtime. It's springtime, right, that's getting 62 00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.000 flowers and tornadoes. Yeah, well, that's when they start to kick up, 63 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.399 and then they sort of intensify through the summer and when it gets hot 64 00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:53.439 and you have that the heat waves coming off the earth. But it all 65 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.079 starts now. And yes, Tornado Alley did live up to its name. 66 00:04:56.120 --> 00:05:02.600 From Nebraska down through Iowa, through Oklahoma and into Texas. We've seen a 67 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.839 rash of tornadoes in the last few days and they're just beginning the cleanup now. 68 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:11.480 In Sulfur, Oklahoma. That town was especially hard hit. Town of 69 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.519 about five thousand people or so. Thirty of the people were hurt there. 70 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.920 One hundred people across Oklahoma were hurt in these tornadoes, thirty of them were 71 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:23.959 in Sulfur, Oklahoma. One person there died, there were three others who 72 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:28.439 were killed across Oklahoma, and then one person in Iowa was killed as well. 73 00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:31.720 So just a really deadly, horrific outbreak of tornadoes early in the year. 74 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:36.040 Yeah, and along with the tornadoes and that then they're also getting dumped 75 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:42.079 on. They are heavy, heavy, rained down in Trinity County, Texas, 76 00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.279 which Misoga stood by the name the Trinity River runs through it. The 77 00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:51.920 Trinity itself has been flooding. And now there's been an evacuation order issued for 78 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:57.439 Polk County out there in southeast Texas. But they too, that area also 79 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.759 had a tornado. Still a little E one tornado. Don't count out the 80 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:05.959 danger that an EF one tornado can bring to an area like this. Yeah, 81 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:10.160 and the F one has top wins of one hundred and ten miles per 82 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:14.600 hour. Man, it was an EF one tornado that touchdown on Sunday in 83 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:18.199 Trinity County. One man was critically injured when that tornado hit his house, 84 00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:21.680 destroyed the house. His wife was injured as well. He's still hospitalized, 85 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:26.079 and I mean he may or may not make it. So, Yeah, 86 00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.680 even an EF one tornado can do a lot of damage. Yeah, one 87 00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.720 hundred mile an hour winds. That's and then you said that there's there was 88 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:38.079 that the one in Marietta, Oklahoma is an EF four. How strong are 89 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:42.319 those wins that's going to be topping one hundred and thirty hundred and forty miles 90 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:46.920 per hour and you know, but it's all relative, like say, I 91 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:51.800 mean, they come up with these scales both for for tornadoes and for you 92 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:56.120 know, for hurricanes. But if you're caught in the middle of something like 93 00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:00.360 this, then you know you're you're in trouble. So yeah, So the 94 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.560 EF rating system, there's even an EF zero and occasionally we get EF zero 95 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.160 tornadoes. That means the winds were up to eighty five miles per hours. 96 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:10.600 But you can imagine even that can do some damage. And it goes all 97 00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:15.279 the way to the EF five ranking, which is winds over two hundred miles 98 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.079 per How they don't even try to measure that at that point. That's how 99 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:21.279 strong they are. In the movie Twister, I think, yeah, great 100 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:25.560 movie. I was in Oklahoma, ac surely covering a tornado when that when 101 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:29.120 that movie, they are really the only thing. Here's one of the things 102 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.800 that was a beef for me about that movie. So I thought it was 103 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:36.199 super interesting. But you know, how is it continuity? What's the thing 104 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:41.519 that making making sure that everything kind of goes in the correct succession. Yeah. 105 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:45.720 So at one point they're in those bright red trucks uh huh, as 106 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.319 they're chasing the tornadoes, and then they get caught up in something and the 107 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:53.279 trucks are just a mess and covered with mud and the windshields broken. And 108 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:57.759 the next scene that's supposed to happen like five minutes later, it's not like 109 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.600 the next day. But the next scene, the truck is clean and the 110 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:03.920 windshield is intact. I was like, dudes, come on, you think 111 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.079 nobody's going to notice that. That's why they have continuity directors. There's another 112 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.120 scene that is the same sort of issue, not as big, and probably 113 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.839 I'm the old person in the world who noticed it. But the second unit, 114 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.600 you know when they have sort of background stuff and things that aren't the 115 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.920 main characters, right, you're familiar with that term. And they're driving down 116 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.040 the free when you see out the front of the car that's rolling along the 117 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:30.720 Oklahoma skyline and these clouds that are roiling up there, and it's real video. 118 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.440 It's clearly real, real video. But as they're driving along, there's 119 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.519 a Texas highway side that they drive past. They're not in Oklahoma. That 120 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.279 video was shot in Texas. How about that. I hate when they do 121 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:46.039 that. Okay, so back to the real life tornadoes I know I get 122 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.039 caught up in movie stuff too. How much warning do do they typically get 123 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:56.000 before a tornado comes down? Well, it depends if it's something like we've 124 00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.240 seen here. A particularly dangerous situation PDS is the new term for that that 125 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.360 the Weather Service has come up with. You can get a day and a 126 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.960 half two days worth of notice you know that something might be coming, but 127 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:13.480 in terms of a serious and immediate threat is sometimes ten to fifteen minutes. 128 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.120 You know that, you realize something's happening. But of course, getting the 129 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.120 warning and doing something about it, that is, taking shelter are sometimes two 130 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.480 different things. And everybody has a cell phone so and especially in tornado Alley, 131 00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:30.720 they're all set to accept those kinds of notifications when there is severe weather. 132 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.600 But again it's kind of up to the individual to do something with that 133 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.039 information, that is, to seek shelter and get safe. Do most people 134 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.720 have storm shelters in the Midwest? Not most? No. And you know 135 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:48.960 this was something I saw starting maybe fifteen twenty years ago in Watervoklahoma. There 136 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.240 was a big tornado there that I have to cover. And at that point, 137 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.519 you know, there was a push to get people to install these shelters 138 00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:00.440 and they were doing it. So in a lot of places, especially in 139 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.840 Oklahoma, you find that people do have these backyard shelters. You wouldn't even 140 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.360 know it was there. Really, there's kind of a it's almost like a 141 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.279 cellar door in an old house. You open it up and you go down 142 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.440 there and you're safe. So they stocked them with provisions and they get in 143 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.399 it. So and that was one thing I noticed about this outbreak of tornado, 144 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.279 saying hearing people talk about it, folks who were saying, yeah, 145 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.279 I got down to my shelter and I called my cousin who was over in 146 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:26.440 his shelter. And so people do take it seriously, knowing the threat and 147 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.879 history is a tough teacher. And the More Oklahoma that struck in twenty eleven, 148 00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:37.159 I think it was and just devastated that area in More Oklahoma, in 149 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.279 Norman, Oklahoma into Oklahoma City. A lot of folks took action after that. 150 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.039 Yeah, and how long is this weather system supposed to be hanging around? 151 00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:46.440 Is it moving out now? It's dying on now, but it's turned 152 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:52.360 into a different threat. Now there is the possibility for flash flooding, severe 153 00:10:52.399 --> 00:11:00.320 flooding in Texas and more severe weather winds and possible tornadoes up in to Des 154 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.480 Moines in Iowa, Kansas City and then down through which John Tulsa, so 155 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:07.039 Oklahoma might not be out of the woods just yet. All Right, Jim 156 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.679 Ryan, thank you so much for the information. All Right, we'll talk 157 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:13.360 soon. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI 158 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:18.080 twenty four hour newsroom. Almost a dozen cities in Orange County are making developers 159 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.039 include affordable housing in projects of fifty or more home. It's just too expensive 160 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:26.519 to live in southern California. Coasta Mason Mayor John Stephen says the city has 161 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:31.840 no chance of meeting the state's lofty housing mandates, but must do something to 162 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.720 address the housing crisis. What we were trying to do is find a sweet 163 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:41.679 spot that was acceptable to developers but also addressed the issue. The city this 164 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:45.320 month also approved to feed that developers can pay to sidestep the mandate, which 165 00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.960 will go into an affordable housing fund. Critics say the plan will push developers 166 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.519 to build in cities without the mandate. In Orange County, Corbin Carson. 167 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:56.279 KFI News for law enforcement officers in North Carolina have been killed and five others 168 00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:00.639 were hurt in a shootout. Police chief Johnny Jennings says, it was a 169 00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.559 tragic day yesterday for the city of Charlotte and for law enforcement. We lost 170 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:09.240 some heroes that are out to just simply trying to keep our community safe. 171 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.879 Jennings says the officers were serving a search warrant at a home when someone opened 172 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.440 fire. The first shooter was killed, but two others inside the home started 173 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.320 firing shortly after that. They were taken into custody. Jennings says this is 174 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:24.720 a reminder that when officers put on their uniforms, there's no guarantee they get 175 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:30.200 to return home. Hunter Biden has threatened to sue Fox News for defamation, 176 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:35.919 exploitation of his image, and publication of hacked photos.

They had a supposed simulation of a trial that involved Hunter 180 00:12:54.320 --> 00:13:01.440 Biden Andy jury and supposed to evidence. Ergo says the evidence included photos the 181 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:09.399 legal team say was revenge porn related to Hunter Biden. Warmer Weather's on its 182 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.440 way, and CalFire says now is the time to protect your home from possible 183 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:18.279 wildfires. Get that grass cut down and cut short before it drives out and 184 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.960 then the clearing that you do could become a fire hazard. Calfire's Robert Foxworthy 185 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:30.240 says fires are often started by people accidentally by hot exhaust touching grass or mowers, 186 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:33.279 striking rocks and causing sparks. Foxworthy says you should clear a total of 187 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:37.039 one hundred feet around your home, and hedges and bushes should be up to 188 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:39.639 five feet away from the house.

Are 190 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.159 you watching American Idol? I am. I'm loving it. Stayed up a 191 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:54.000 little late last night to watch it. And I made a prediction last week 192 00:13:54.080 --> 00:14:09.240 that Abby Carter is going to win, so she did em and since last 193 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:28.799 night just angelic except oh, listen to this. I don't think she's gonna 194 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.879 win them. And here's why. I think she has the like overall the 195 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:39.120 best voice, I think, But for whatever the reason, I don't think 196 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:43.720 the judges are behind her. Like when they do their their reviews of some 197 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:48.200 people, they're more complimentary and more excited in that kind of stuff. They 198 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.919 I mean, they said she did an amazing job what she did. But 199 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:56.159 I think that they're kind of they've got it their heart set on other people. 200 00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:58.440 We'll have to wait and see we've got the top seven. I'm still 201 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:03.759 team you See. Irvine is the latest campus dealing with a pro Palestinian protest. 202 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.120 Several tents have been set up on campus law enforcements there, but no 203 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.720 signs of any arrest. Protesters say the encampment will stay up until you see 204 00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:18.639 Irvine addresses their demands to cut financial ties with Israel. California has partnered with 205 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:24.519 a pharmaceutical company in New Jersey to buy a generic version of Narcan. It 206 00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:30.840 costs forty percent less. It's used to treat opioid overdoses. California will distribute 207 00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:35.919 the packs for free to first responders, universities, and community organizations as part 208 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:41.320 of the state's naloxone distribution project. The nuggets have ended the Lakers season. 209 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:45.639 For this second year in a row, the Lakers lost Monday Night's Game five 210 00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.799 in Denver one eight one oh six. Ah Nail bider La was trying to 211 00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:54.159 become the first NBA team ever to win a playoff series. After falling behind 212 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.840 three games to none, they'll try again next season. At six oh five, 213 00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.879 it's handled on the news, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says deal or 214 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:04.679 no deal, they're going to go into Rafa. Let's say good morning now 215 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.879 to the host of how to Money on KFI, the guy who's helping us 216 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:12.039 all hang on to more of our hard earned money. It's Joel lars Guard 217 00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:17.840 Hi Amy. Okay, we're going to get a lesson in fiduciary right now. 218 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:19.799 Okay, let's do that. Yes, because I have no idea what 219 00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:26.759 that is. So it is this fancy word essentially for whats a. It's 220 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:33.919 a designation for financial advisors. And if your financial advisor is a fiduciary, 221 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.200 then it means they have to act in your best interest too. That on 222 00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:45.559 ads. Yeah, And the problem currently is that there is no necessity for 223 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:49.440 all advisors to be a fiduciary. So basically, which most consumers wouldn't be 224 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:52.000 aware of. Hey, if I go to see a financial advisor, they 225 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.320 can actually do things with my money and encourage me to buy products that serve 226 00:16:56.399 --> 00:17:03.159 them that don't serve me. And so the there is now likely going to 227 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:06.920 be I mean, there's gonna be some legal pushback, but a fiduciary standard 228 00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:15.319 adopted under by the Department of Labor, and basically all advisors and insurance salespeople 229 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:18.240 too will be required to offer you and sell you products and manage your money 230 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.920 in a way that is most beneficial to you. And so I am for 231 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.079 this change. I'm for this standard, and it's going to save I think 232 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.400 a lot of consumers a lot of heartache and then also a lot of money. 233 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:37.000 H Okay, you mean more clarification, maybe a little basic Okay, 234 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.640 Basically, right now, if you're an insurance salespeople, you could I could 235 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:44.680 sell If I'm an insurance salesperson, I could sell you something that's high commission, 236 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:45.599 high fees, and it makes me a lot of money and it's not 237 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:49.759 the best product for you. Right and now this rule, which is going 238 00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:53.480 to go into implementation this fall, I'm now required, I'm held to a 239 00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:56.799 different standard, and so if I sell you something like that and you find 240 00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:00.960 out, oh, my goodness, Joe just got rich on the fees and 241 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.119 the commissions from this product he sold me. And actually, I don't think 242 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:07.759 this was the best thing for me. You could take me to court, 243 00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:11.480 and so there is I think this is just a wonderful thing. Like, 244 00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:15.599 if you are in that sort of line of work, you should be held 245 00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:19.079 to a standard. It's similar to a doctor's charge to do no harm, 246 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:23.200 right, Yeah. And if I give you surgery on something that doesn't require 247 00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:27.400 surgery, or encourage you to take some sort of medication that doesn't isn't actually 248 00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:30.759 going to help relieve your symptoms or the issues that you're facing, well, 249 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:33.079 then I'm probably not a great doctor, right, and I should probably be 250 00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:36.960 held to account. And the same is true for a whole lot of insurance 251 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:41.240 salespeople, and I don't want to paint everybody in this industry in that way. 252 00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:45.359 There are currently ways that you can find and work with people who hold 253 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.559 themselves to the fiduciary standard, whether or not they're required to, which I 254 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.400 think is great. But I also like the idea of everybody having to be 255 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:55.119 to live up to that standard in the first place, I agree. I 256 00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:57.000 think I don't like lots of rules, but that one seems like a good 257 00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:02.200 one. You are a rule breaker to say, I don't know about that. 258 00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:07.119 Okay, maybe a little bit. Okay. So if you don't want 259 00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:08.759 to dump a lot of money into a car, but you want a good 260 00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:12.680 car, you've got some cars that might be good for you. Yeah. 261 00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:18.119 So Consumer Reports just came out with a list of the car cheapest cars to 262 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.720 own and maintain over the first five years of ownership and then over the first 263 00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.680 decade of ownership. And I love this stuff because so much of what we're 264 00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:29.799 thinking about when we buy a car is the sticker price, and we're not 265 00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:33.039 factoring in all the secondary costs that come down the line. I talk about 266 00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:36.960 insurance, you're talking about maintenance, you're talking about depreciation. Right, all 267 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.079 of those things factor in, and you've got to be aware of those things 268 00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:41.640 up front. And so when you think about, okay, which cars are 269 00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:45.799 going to be the cheapest to maintain, Man, I love looking at those 270 00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:48.279 because it just means you're gonna have less work to do on those cars overall. 271 00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:52.680 And it's no surprise, no surprise that Tesla comes in at number one 272 00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:56.480 because I think of electric vehicles as glorified golf cars. Right, there's fewer 273 00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:00.359 moving parts, which is lovely. I mean, granted, if the battery 274 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:03.559 pack goes could put which you know, we haven't seen massive problems in that 275 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:06.119 department, but if it did, that's a really, really big expense. 276 00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:11.000 But Tesla is by far the cheapest. There's the other car manufacturers that are 277 00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:15.200 in that realm Buick, Toyota, Lincoln, and fod round out the top 278 00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:19.119 five. But if a Tesla's going to cost you four grand in total ten 279 00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:22.799 year maintenance costs, which is incredible. I mean that's like replacing tires and 280 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:26.160 brakes, right, I mean it's almost nothing. But if you look at 281 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.200 the other end of the spectrum, Mercedes Portia land Rover, if you buy 282 00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:32.880 a land Rover instead of four grand over ten years, it's going to cost 283 00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:36.400 you over nineteen thousand dollars to maintain over the course of ten years. So 284 00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:41.079 the brand, the make, the model that you buy directly correlates to how 285 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:42.160 much money you're going to be spending and how often you're going to be in 286 00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:48.119 the repair shop. So but on the flip side of the I'm surprised that 287 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:51.839 the Tesla is that low because I know that, like the Tesla, tires 288 00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:56.400 cost a lot more because they have to be because the cars are so heavy, 289 00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.920 they can't use regular tires. They're like industrial strength tires. But what 290 00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:04.000 else are you replacing on it? You know that with with your with your 291 00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:08.400 gas powered car, you're replacing belts and fans and you know, like all 292 00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:12.839 of these different things. I just took mine in for I forget even my 293 00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:18.839 twenty thirteen Honda Odyssey minivan, and they are all sorts of things that just 294 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.920 happen with two sensors, and you know, there's just fewer of those things 295 00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:27.160 obviously on an electric vehicle. And so that's why I get hybrids or the 296 00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:32.319 hot thing right now. I still like electric vehicles large, I mean, 297 00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:36.440 because of the tax incentives. And then also because guess what those electric vehicles, 298 00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:40.079 they're going to mean you need zero gas and they're also going to mean 299 00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:41.960 you need less maintenance. So if it works for your lifestyle, especially for 300 00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:45.079 a two car family having one EV I think, and then a gas powered 301 00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:51.279 car often is the way to go okay. And then there is a budgeting 302 00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:53.400 method. I just learned about this doing a story a couple of weeks ago 303 00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:59.240 the sixty thirty ten method, and you're not a fan of it, So 304 00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:00.759 real quick, what is it and why do you hate it? Yeah? 305 00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:06.599 So, basically, it's it's a slight pivot on a past budgeting method, 306 00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:10.799 the fifty thirty twenty budgeting method, and it basically says that you would spend 307 00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:15.759 fifty percent of your take home pay on your needs, thirty percent on wants, 308 00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:18.079 and twenty percent towards savings. So and then sixty thirty ten. The 309 00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:19.680 way it pivots is it says, well, actually, instead of that extra 310 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:23.079 ten percent that you put into savings and investments in debt payoff, put that 311 00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:29.400 more into the needs category. And I get with the with how prices have 312 00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:33.000 gone up and it's tougher to stretch your paycheck, but I think it's really 313 00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:37.920 really important that we don't lower the bar for savings in our lives. If 314 00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:42.440 we're only saving and investing in using money for debt payoff at ten percent, 315 00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:45.039 and granted that would still be higher than the average American, that's just not 316 00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:49.119 enough. My minimum threshold floor for people is fifteen percent, and I really 317 00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:52.319 do want you to get to at least that twenty percent realm where you're saving 318 00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.519 and investing a good chunk of your paycheck because hey, it's future you. 319 00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:02.400 You're getting financial you're gaining financial security much more quickly, and it's so crucial 320 00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:04.839 to make sure that you are living on less than you make. And when 321 00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:08.880 you pivot to this other, this newer budgeting method that's making the rounds, 322 00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:11.920 you're just not doing enough work in that regard and you're just going to find 323 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:17.079 yourself in tougher financial circumstances and you're not going to be making the progress you 324 00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:18.240 want to be. You're going to kind of be like spinning your wheels a 325 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:22.200 lot longer. Okay, So stick with the fifty thirty twenty I think so. 326 00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:26.680 And these are just like that's like the most basic form of budgeting. 327 00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:29.119 And I know budgeting is like a four letter word for a lot of people, 328 00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:32.000 but I really think of if you think if you could reframe a budget. 329 00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:34.720 A budget is not a negative thing constraining your ability to do awesome stuff. 330 00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:38.960 It's actually your ability to roadmap out how you can spend on the things 331 00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:41.480 you care about the most. So think about a budget like that, Just 332 00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.960 reframe, a little reframe and a budget doesn't have to be this bad thing. 333 00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:48.160 It's in fact this great thing allowing you to gain greater levels of financial 334 00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:52.400 freedom and ensure that you're spending money on the things that you care about, 335 00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:55.279 the things you say you care about, and then you can easily you don't 336 00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:57.599 mind actually cutting back and spending less money on the stuff you realize it doesn't 337 00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:00.440 really matter that much to you. Okay. To find out more on how 338 00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:06.160 to best spend and save your money, listen to how to Money with Joel 339 00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:11.400 large Guard right here on KFI Sunday's noon to two, and also we can 340 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.400 follow you at how to Money Jewel. Thank you Joel Larsguard. Thanks Amy. 341 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:22.640 Pro Palestinian protesters have broken into Royce Hall on the UCLA campus, where 342 00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:26.359 an encampment is set up outside. Police have also detained a man with a 343 00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:33.160 big sword on campus yesterday. This is the sixth day of the protests at 344 00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:37.960 the UCLA. Columbia University in New York has limited campus access to students and 345 00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:42.960 essential employees after dozens of protesters took over a building overnight. They barricaded the 346 00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:48.480 entrances and unfurled a Palestinian flag out a window. Columbia says it will suspend 347 00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.839 students who don't leave the encampment just in time for the summer Olympics.

The new prices will 351 00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:12.720 go into effect for existing subscribers in August. At six oh five, it's 352 00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:17.480 handled on the news. GNC stores are in trouble, but it could be 353 00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:22.960 ozembic of all things to the rescue. Let's say good morning to ABC's Peter 354 00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:29.440 Harlumbus. Peter, it is day nine of New York versus Trump. We've 355 00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:32.640 been off for a couple of days, so can you catch us up on 356 00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:36.400 what happened in the courtroom on Friday? Yeah, so we had a dramatic 357 00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:41.240 day testimony on Friday. It was the conclusion of National Inquirer David Pecker's testimony. 358 00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.240 He largely stood by his story, suggesting that he entered this arrangement with 359 00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:48.400 Donald Trump and Michael Cohen de cash and kill stories at twenty sixteen, and 360 00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:52.960 then Donald Trump's longtime assistant and geekeeper, Ronograss, took the stand. She 361 00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:59.240 only testified for about thirty minutes, but she offered some relatively explosive testimony kind 362 00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:03.480 of going through some of the evidence in the case that prosecutors suggest connects Donald 363 00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:07.440 Trump to Karen McDougall and Stormy Daniels, two of the women who received hush 364 00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:12.480 money payments in this case. Grafts details how she created contact entries in the 365 00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:18.559 Trump Organization computer system for Trump for both McDougall and Daniels, and she also 366 00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.160 recounted that she saw Stormy Daniels on the twenty sixth floor of Trump's power that's 367 00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:27.200 the same floor as where Trump's law office is located. She suggested that Daniels 368 00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:33.319 Daniels was there because Trump was considering casting her in The Celebrity Apprentice. Okay, 369 00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:38.400 so then Peter, we know that he knows these women and may have 370 00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:44.400 even paid them off. But there's nothing illegal about that. It's the way 371 00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:48.559 that they did the book keeping on it, basically allegedly. Yeah, at 372 00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:51.319 the end, at the end of the day, prosecutors, you know, 373 00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:56.079 point to all of this conduct, the sellacious conduct environment involving McDougall and Daniels, 374 00:26:56.119 --> 00:27:00.079 and they acknowledge that there's nothing illegal about, for example, a presidential 375 00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:06.079 candidate having an allegend affair. What they say is illegal conduct is this what 376 00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:11.000 they allege is a conspiracy to illegally influence the twenty sixteen election. And the 377 00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:15.480 actual conduct that they allege is illegal in the indictment is the falsification of business 378 00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:22.119 records after the twenty sixteen election. So they're pointing to both the overaarching conspiracy 379 00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:26.519 during the election and the falsification of business records after the election. Okay, 380 00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:30.000 so that catches this up. That's what's happened. And then we're back in 381 00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:34.160 court today. What are we expecting today? So Michael Cohen's former banker, 382 00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:38.920 Gary Farrow, was expected to take the stand and continue his direct examination this 383 00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:44.000 morning. This is actually some of the more technical testimony that we've heard, 384 00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:48.039 but it's going through a lot of the documents that are I guess important evidence 385 00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:52.519 in this case. Pharaoh was involved in the creation of two shell companies that 386 00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:57.319 Michael Cohen frantically created in October twenty sixteen. Prosecutors alleged that they were both 387 00:27:57.480 --> 00:28:03.200 used in ways related to those hush money payermans to McDougall and Daniels. Specifically, 388 00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:07.200 we're going to hear today about the creation of a shell company on October 389 00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:12.480 twenty sixth, twenty sixteen that the very next day Cohen allegedly used to transfer 390 00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:17.839 Daniels one hundred and thirty thousand dollars in exchange for her silence. So definitely 391 00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:22.240 not as dramatic as David Packer's testimony, but important evidence, rich testimony that 392 00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:26.640 really goes to the documents at the heart of this case. Okay, great, 393 00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:29.400 and then I have a question for you because you're one of the few 394 00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:33.720 people who actually gets to be in the courtroom. As we've mentioned, we 395 00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:37.200 know that you can't record anything. There's no video and no audio recording. 396 00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.160 But for you, because you have to report on it and give updates to 397 00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:45.599 ABC, are you like, do you have your phone with you and you're 398 00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:52.079 frantically texting out the information or how does that all work? So thrones are 399 00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:55.200 very strictly prohibiting the courtroom. We'll get yelled at and we'll get kicked out 400 00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:57.039 if we even pull out a phone, but we're allowed to have laptops. 401 00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:02.960 A bunch of us have. We're frantically typing away. Honestly, the most 402 00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:06.640 prominent noise in the courtroom other than the actual testimony, is the sound of 403 00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:11.160 keyboard teeth cooking throughout the entire day. It's the soundtrack of the trial in 404 00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:15.440 a way. And honestly, there are some times because there's no television, 405 00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:18.960 you know, this trial isn't televised, that there are certain things that we 406 00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.640 can only witness in that moment. For example, when Graf was getting off 407 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.920 the witness stand and graph is a long time trusted ally of Trump, his 408 00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:32.920 gatekeeper for decades, Trump got up off his witness, off his chair at 409 00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:37.680 council table and walked slightly towards Graf. He whispered something in her ear and 410 00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:41.000 appeared to pat her hand. But this entire moment wasn't captured on television, 411 00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:45.119 wasn't captured really in a way that we could look back and see what did 412 00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.960 Trump say, what exactly did he do? Really, it was up to 413 00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:52.079 the sixty year silver reporters in that room in that very moment to capture what 414 00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:56.839 did Trump just do? To bring it back, So, you know, 415 00:29:56.039 --> 00:30:00.319 high stakes testimony, very short moments that can leave an impression on this jury 416 00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:03.680 okay, great, Well that's and that's what we're looking for, is we 417 00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:07.240 want we want the moments too, you know, we the big picture stuff, 418 00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:10.440 but you get to see the moments. And thank you so much for 419 00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:12.559 sharing them, Peter, appreciate it a ton, and we'll talk to you 420 00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:18.480 again soon. Thanks much, had a good one. Take care. That's 421 00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:22.680 ABC's Peter Haralambus, and we'll be talking to him again soon because the trial 422 00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:26.200 is expected to last for like six weeks. I just think it's fascinating what 423 00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:30.559 goes on in a trial. I've sat in on one trial in my whole 424 00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:36.160 life, like from start to finish. Is His name was Bary James Duvenote. 425 00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:38.759 I remember that from one hundred years ago. It was the first murder 426 00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:44.200 trial held in Jackson County, Oregon. So I sat in on it and 427 00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:48.400 it just watching it every day. It's it's it's an interesting, interesting experience. 428 00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:52.640 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 429 00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:56.680 four hour newsroom pro Palestinian protesters of setup camp at UC Irvine. The city's 430 00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:00.559 mayor warned the university yesterday against any law enforcement action to break it up. 431 00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:06.240 She issued the warning in response to police and Orange County Sheriff's deputies gathering in 432 00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:11.160 a university parking lot near the protest site. Mayor Farakhan issued a statement saying 433 00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:15.640 she will not tolerate any violations of students' rights to peacefully assemble and protest. 434 00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:21.200 A new report says LA is making progress and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but 435 00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:25.279 maybe not fast enough. The LA Department of Sanitation and Environment used its most 436 00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:29.400 recent data from twenty twenty two to show a city council committee that municipal operations 437 00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:33.519 are right at the goal of reducing carbon emissions by fifty five percent next year 438 00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:36.799 compared to two thousand and eight, but the broader city, including the entire 439 00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:40.680 LA community, is still falling short. The report shows in that respect, 440 00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:44.039 the missions are down thirty percent, but well short of its goal of fifty 441 00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:48.720 percent. Friday's presentation suggested that the city council should consider more strategies to speed 442 00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:52.079 up the city's effort to be entirely carbon neutral by twenty fifty. Michael Monks 443 00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:59.920 KFI News Jason Kelcey is joining ESPN's pregame show Monday Night Countdown following his retire 444 00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:05.200 from the NFL Kelsey played for the Eagles for thirteen years. He co hosts 445 00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:09.079 a popular podcast, New Heights, with his brother, Travis Kelcey, and 446 00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:14.759 reportedly received interest from multiple networks who wanted him to join their programs before he 447 00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:20.240 confirmed with ESPN.

Demonstrators have taken 451 00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:39.920 their pro Palestinian protests to USC's president's home. Grad students, union workers, 452 00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:45.680 community members, and others assembled early yesterday morning outside President Carol Fuld's house in 453 00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:51.359 Santa Monica. Activists have demanded she begin what they call an emergency campus student 454 00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:55.680 dialogue about the protests and the war between Israel and Hamas. California has partnered 455 00:32:55.680 --> 00:33:01.240 with a pharmaceutical company in New Jersey to purchase generic version of Narcon. It'll 456 00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:07.839 cost forty percent less a Narcan. It'll cost forty percent less than name brand 457 00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:13.039 Narcan. Of course, it's used to treat opioid overdoses. Governor Newsom has 458 00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:17.160 asked for Californians to help pick a design for a new one dollar coin. 459 00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:22.160 The coin apparently is going to go into a print into in twenty twenty six. 460 00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:27.039 The governor says the coin should honor California's innovations. Critics were quick to 461 00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:32.160 post their ideas on X, including coins depicting tent cities and homeless encampment fires. 462 00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:37.160 We're just minutes away from handle on the news this morning, Benjamin Netanyah, 463 00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:44.400 who says Israel's going into Rafa deal or no deal with Hamas. Let's 464 00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:50.160 say good morning now to the executive executive director of the Best Friend's Animal Society. 465 00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:54.119 It's Britney Thorn and Brittany. We're talking to you today because it's Adopt 466 00:33:54.200 --> 00:34:00.920 a Shelter Pet Day. Yes, and we are so excited to celebrate with 467 00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:05.400 Best Friends Animal Society. Okay, and how is a best friend celebrating? 468 00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:09.119 You're launching a national campaign, right, Yes, we're launching a national campaign 469 00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:14.119 to inspire pet lovers to help get some more dogs and cats out of our 470 00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:17.760 US shelters and into loving homes. Okay, and what are some specific things 471 00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:22.440 you're doing to try to get more dogs and cats out of the shelters and 472 00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:29.119 into the homes where they belong. Beginning today, April thirtieth, and actually 473 00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:34.360 continuing through May and June, all adoption fleas at Best Friends locations will be 474 00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:39.480 covered thanks to our sponsors Blue Buffalo and Walmart. So free adoptions, okay, 475 00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:45.119 And when someone adopts from the shelter, I'm assuming that the pets are 476 00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:50.480 all spade and chipped and all of that stuff. Absolutely spade, neutered, 477 00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:53.639 chipped, vaccinated. All they need is you to come get them and take 478 00:34:53.679 --> 00:35:00.920 them home, okay. And so we're of course all about the adoptions, 479 00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:05.480 and I know you guys are because that's the most important thing, because pets 480 00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:08.039 are such wonderful companions. But one of the really heartbreaking things is that shelters 481 00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:13.559 only have so much room. So the reality of it is, without the 482 00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:16.280 room and the resources, not all the animals can be saved. But that 483 00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:22.000 could be changed if just a few more people would adopt. Absolutely, So 484 00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:24.519 you know, we know that this campaign is coming at a really critical time. 485 00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:30.039 Pet adoption has been declining over the last five years, and we're seeing 486 00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:34.239 really more and more people acquiring pets from breeders and pet stores. So, 487 00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:38.239 like you said, with some new data, seven million people are planning to 488 00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:43.559 bring home a pet this year. So if just six percent more Americans chose 489 00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:47.960 to adopt versus purchase pets, all of our US shelters would be no kill 490 00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:51.840 and they're cheaper too, because you don't have to pay form in right now, 491 00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:55.960 you guys are even covering the adoption fees absolutely, and you know there 492 00:35:57.000 --> 00:36:01.199 are so many places shelters, rescues that will help even after you bring the 493 00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:05.119 pet home. You know, we will help with food if you need it. 494 00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:07.079 We know that times are tough right now, and we will help with 495 00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:10.199 resources. You know, if someone wants to come and save a life, 496 00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:14.119 we are all about that and we want to do anything that we can to 497 00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:16.599 support that decision. Okay, so let's talk about the search for a new 498 00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:22.239 pet for just a minute. So before you go and adopt, what do 499 00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:24.920 you need to know? What should you do before you get to that adoption 500 00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:30.400 point. You know, you should make a decision that you want to obviously 501 00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:35.000 bring a new pet home a new family member, and think about some of 502 00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:37.639 the things that you like to do in your life. Are you a little 503 00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:39.960 bit of a couch potato. Are you a hiker. Are you looking for 504 00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:43.440 a cat, a dog, a puppy, a kitten. You know, 505 00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:49.079 they all come with some different responsibilities, but we are happy to provide matchmaking 506 00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:52.639 opportunities and make sure that you're set up with an amazing pet. Okay, 507 00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:58.840 and I had lost a pet. I had had Cleopatra for more than twenty 508 00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:01.119 years, and then I was thinking, you know, I don't need to 509 00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:05.440 get a new one right away. And then about ten months later, I 510 00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:07.760 was like, Okay, I think I'm ready. And that's when I found 511 00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:13.719 Alexander the Great. And it was at that moment that I really realized what 512 00:37:13.800 --> 00:37:16.119 I would had been missing, because when you get them into your home, 513 00:37:16.239 --> 00:37:21.760 all of a sudden, there's there's just a new life in your home, 514 00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:25.679 you know. Yeah, And you know sometimes it's it's you know, you 515 00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:30.639 have that little bit of time to think about what you want to mourn the 516 00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:34.719 loss of your pet, but you know, you're really paying a great service 517 00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:37.679 to your former pet when you bring someone else home, and you're saving two 518 00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:42.039 lives. Really, you're bringing home an animal, so you're saving that pet's 519 00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:45.880 life, and then you're making space for another one who might need some additional 520 00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:51.880 help. Okay. So anyone thinking about adopting Brittany, what might you tell 521 00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:55.960 them that might get them off the fence and down to a shelter. That 522 00:37:57.079 --> 00:38:00.400 it is the best feeling in the world, almost truly know that you have 523 00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:07.039 come in and rescued them. We do offer fostering for someone who might not 524 00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:09.679 quite be ready to make the plunge yet. We're happy to help with that 525 00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:15.079 as well. But it is really truly one of the best feelings, okay. 526 00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:19.760 And it is Adopt a Shelter Pet Day and Best Friends is on a 527 00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:24.119 mission to get more pets out of shelters and into your homes.

I love having Alexander the Great around the house and now 538 00:39:08.199 --> 00:39:12.719 Shelby too. It's just fun to have them. You can't take them for 539 00:39:12.760 --> 00:39:15.159 walks. Cats don't do walks, at least mine don't, but they're great 540 00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:19.119 to have around. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of 541 00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:27.800 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Pro Palestinian protesters taken over at building at 542 00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:32.840 Columbia University in New York. Dozens filed in early this morning, barricading the 543 00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:37.519 entrances and then flying a Palestinian flag from a window. The protesters had been 544 00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:42.840 given until yesterday afternoon to clear the encampment, but they say they're not going 545 00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:46.280 anywhere. This is a movement, an anti war movement. We have sparked 546 00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:52.800 similar solidarity encampments across the nation and even across the globe. A post on 547 00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:59.960 social media said an autonomous group had reclaimed Hines Hall, previously known as Hamilton 548 00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:04.679 Hall, renamed by the group in honor of what the post said was a 549 00:40:04.719 --> 00:40:08.960 six year old martyr murdered at the hands of the genocidal Israeli State. Protesters 550 00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:14.000 say they plan to remain in the hall until the university concedes to their demands 551 00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:20.760 of divestment, financial transparency, and amnesty for protesting students. Israeli Prime Minister 552 00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:24.360 Benjamin Netanyahu is pledged to begin an encouragion into the southern Gaza city of Rafa, 553 00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:29.480 which Israel claims is the last stronghold of Hamas. The US and other 554 00:40:29.519 --> 00:40:34.079 allies have urged Israel not to go into Rafa, where more than a million 555 00:40:34.119 --> 00:40:39.800 Palestinians have taken refuge as ceasefire negotiations have been ongoing. Netanyahu said Israel would 556 00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:45.559 enter Rafa to destroy Hamas's battalions there, with or without a deal.

There's so much education and so much 563 00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:10.480 learning that goes on at the Fair, and that's where we get to be 564 00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:15.280 sneaky about it and make sure we get that education out.
