00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.839
You're listening to KFI AM six forty
wake Up Call with Me Amy King on

2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:15.400
demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI and
KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.

3
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:27.960
It's time for your morning wake up
call. Here's Amy King. It

4
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:34.000
is five o'clock. This is your
wake up call for Tuesday, January sixteenth,

5
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:41.000
twenty twenty four. I'm Amy King. Back to work. Well,

6
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:45.479
for those of you who didn't have
to work yesterday, Martin Luther King Days.

7
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:50.320
This great, great holiday, but
it seems like a lot of people

8
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:54.520
don't have it off, even though
it is a federal holiday. But that's

9
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:59.520
okay, celebrating a great man.
I was watching the MLK Junior Parade.

10
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.400
It's the biggest one in the country. Kind of cool and Princess Tiana was

11
00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:06.480
there, Mickey and Minnie were there, so you know, that made me

12
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:11.879
happy. So last night was a
I was in a quandary, as many

13
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.079
of you probably were too. What
to watch. We had the Emmys,

14
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:23.319
the NFL playoffs, and the Caucuses. What won out For me? It

15
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.000
was really between the Emmys and the
Caucuses. I didn't watch football last night,

16
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.280
but the Bills beat the Steelers thirty
one seventeen, Tampa Bay beat the

17
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:36.079
Eagles thirty two nine. Let's head
to the playoffs. Actually we're in the

18
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:40.719
playoffs, but let's continue down that
road. And super Bowl is late this

19
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:42.920
year. Did you notice that it's
like February eleventh or something like that.

20
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.000
Why is it so late? It
used to be on my birthday weekend,

21
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:51.159
which is the last weekend in January, but not anymore. Here's what's ahead

22
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:55.519
on wake up call. Speaking of
the caucases, Donald Trump escored a commanding

23
00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:00.239
win in the Iowa caucuses. The
results have the former president getting just over

24
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:02.959
fifty percent of the votes. Ron
DeSantis was a distant second, followed by

25
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:08.360
Nikki Haley. Vivek Ramaswami dropped out
of the presidential race following his fourth place

26
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:15.719
finish. Trump won ninety eight of
Iowa's ninety nine counties. A vacant kmart

27
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:20.759
in Riverside could become a large apartment
complex of city if the city council approves

28
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.960
the project. Some neighbors say they're
worried about increased traffic and whether the new

29
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:29.199
tenant's children would put a strain on
the school district if approved. A three

30
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:34.080
hundred and forty seven unit complex could
start taking tenants by twenty twenty seven.

31
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:38.520
And speaking of the other thing that
you know was what to watch last night,

32
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:43.719
Elton John is now an egot.
He's got an Emmy, a Grammy,

33
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.479
an oscar An, a Tony after
he was awarded the Emmy last night

34
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:52.080
for his Apple TV special, which
was his farewell concert at Dodgers Stadium.

35
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.639
Oh what a show it was.
He's the nineteenth performer to win all four

36
00:02:54.680 --> 00:03:00.759
awards and at seventy sixties, the
oldest to complete the feat. So it's

37
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:07.240
handle on the news. Ron DeSantis
is claiming the networks engaged in election interference

38
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.319
and last night's Iowa caucuses. We'll
tell you why. Let's get started with

39
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:14.520
some of the stories coming out of
the KFI twenty four hour news room.

40
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:21.879
Well, I want to thank everybody
former President Trump has won the Iowa caucuses.

41
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:23.800
He thanked Florida Governor Ron DeSantis,
who came in second last night,

42
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.919
and Nikki Hayley, who was third. Trump says he thinks they both did

43
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:34.039
very well. I also want to
congratulate the Veake because he did a hell

44
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.719
of a job and after that fourth
place finish, as we mentioned, the

45
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:44.680
Vike Ramaswami ended his campaign and endorsed
Trump. The results are the first in

46
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.800
what will be a month's long effort
by Trump to secure the Republican nomination for

47
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:53.280
president. The vaked Ramaswamy, as
I mentioned, dropped out after falling short

48
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:59.319
last night. As of this moment, we are going to suspend this presidential

49
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:04.159
campaign. Ramaswami got eight percent of
the vote among caucus goers. The Santas

50
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:10.960
and Haley each got roughly twenty percent. Former President Trump got more than fifty

51
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:15.439
percent. The LAPD says a homeless
guy wanted for the fatal shooting of a

52
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.800
dog has been arresting. Investigators say
they found David Someone just after midnight Monday

53
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:23.519
in downtown LA. He was booked
on fifty thousand dollars bail. Please say.

54
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.560
On January second, someone and the
dog's owner got into an argument,

55
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.920
and sometime during that exchange, someone
grabbed a pillow, put it on the

56
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.079
dog, and pushed a gun into
it, and then he said it's either

57
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:36.240
you or the dog. Detectives say
someone then shot two rounds into the pillow,

58
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:40.600
killing the four month old puppy.
It's not known how someone got the

59
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:46.040
firearm. Steve Gregory k if I
News. USC quarterback Caleb Williams has decided

60
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:50.839
to leave college behind and enter the
NFL Draft. The twenty twenty two Heisman

61
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:55.720
Trophy winner, who threw for more
than ten thousand yards in his three college

62
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.839
seasons, is expected to go number
one in the draft. The Chicago Bears

63
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:05.279
have the number one pick. Let's
now say good morning to ABC's Tom Rivers.

64
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:10.399
Tom, we just talked yesterday about
the US hitting hooty targets and then

65
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:14.879
got word that the rebels hit a
US owned ship, the Gibraltar Eagle.

66
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.959
Yeah, exactly. That's the latest
one. A bolt carrier that was overnight

67
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:27.279
and it hit the port side above
the waterline. Minor damage. The crew

68
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:33.199
is safe. It's carrying on with
its journey, carrying describe it shipment of

69
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:38.199
steel products. I don't know exactly
what that is, but steel products.

70
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.680
Now, in the past couple of
hours, we had another vessel. This

71
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:47.879
one is a Greek flagged vessel,
the Zographia. It is a dry bult

72
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:53.720
carrier and it was hit as well, same kind of storyline, minor damage,

73
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:58.600
no injuries. It is continuing on
with its its journey. But we've

74
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:04.079
seen more of this in the houtis
basically ignoring any kinds of quote unquote warnings

75
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:06.920
from from the US, and they're
saying them to carry on with what they've

76
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:13.519
done until the Israeli incursion in Gaza
is over. So then are we expecting

77
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:18.000
the US to respond now because they
keep warning and they've they've launched some attacks.

78
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.959
Well, well, they don't want
any other country to escalate, but

79
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:27.399
the US may escalate. I guess
that's kind of inferred in your question.

80
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:33.959
And that's always a difficult one when
you go into a conflict of this kind

81
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:38.759
and you don't have you don't have
a quote unquote end game scenario written in.

82
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.319
Does it mean there's going to be
a lot more military activity? Will

83
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.319
it mean you boots on the ground, et cetera that's not been articulated by

84
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:51.839
this administration and whatsoever. And certainly
you know Britain had a small participatory role

85
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:58.639
end of last week. Parliamentarians are
asking the same questions. If we're into

86
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:02.639
this thing, you better tell us
what direction we're going so we can tell

87
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:08.160
our constituents what to expect down the
road. And that we've heard that nothing

88
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.279
of the sword from Washington, nothing
of the sword in Congress. Nothing of

89
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:15.120
the sword in parlad here in London. Okay, So you mentioned that the

90
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:19.199
damage to both of the Greek ship
and the US owned ship was minor,

91
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:26.959
So they were both hit by Houthi
missiles. And I'm curious as to why

92
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:31.480
the damage was minor, Like well, obviously because the the missile didn't have

93
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:38.639
enough firepower, But is that because
the Houthis don't have stronger missiles or and

94
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:44.759
they're just like yes Anderston was looking
at a study yesterday, of course IV

95
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:48.399
it means supplied through to Orion,
just like Saudi Arabia, which had been

96
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:55.240
dropping missiles on the Hooties for nine
years, were supplied by the US and

97
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:59.759
the UK. But if you look
at a cost wise, they reckon.

98
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.680
These are pretty pretty primitive missiles,
you know, maybe costing up to ten

99
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:11.519
thousand dollars a crack, and if
they're shot down by say a US vessel

100
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.480
a missile, they could cost hundreds
of thousands of dollars to knock them down.

101
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.439
So it's it's bargain basement prices.
These these missiles that the Hoodies are

102
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:28.079
firing, but very much more expensive
ones by the taxpayer are being used by

103
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.360
the US predominantly to shoot them down. And you mentioned and I know that

104
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.879
we talked about how the US has
shot down some of these missiles. So

105
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:41.720
are are the hoodies firing more and
just these are a couple that are getting

106
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:46.080
through or are they just doing isolated
firings. Yeah, well they had they

107
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:50.600
had a slew of them the day
before the US led strike, if you

108
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:56.320
had a last week, and now
it's been more just the occasional missile here

109
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.360
there and everywhere. So maybe maybe
they're they're they're using a different tactic,

110
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.679
maybe their supplies maybe running. We
don't know, but they're not going,

111
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.480
if you will, with the shotgun
approach. They're just doing the rifle approach,

112
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.320
doing maybe one or two a day, and that's it, at least

113
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.360
that's the track record over the past
four or five days. It feels like

114
00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.039
they're just poking the bear, doesn't
It Like just we're going to fire off

115
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.840
one here and one here just to
say, ha, We're going to keep

116
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.879
going even you know, I mean
it just it doesn't feel like an organized

117
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:31.039
assault, No exactly, But I
mean that's what's required, you know,

118
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:37.240
and you got if you want to
tangle up world trade, you can be

119
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.039
the Hootsies, who could be quashed
in a day if all the firepower of

120
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:46.159
the US were leveled against it.
But they're playing a game. And fifteen

121
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:50.759
percent of the traffic the world trade
goes through the Red Sea. We have

122
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:58.279
liquefied gas tankers that are now stacking
up off a cutter. Insurance companies are

123
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.399
saying to not go through there.
Uh, stay where you are. Guess

124
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:05.840
what natural gas prices are going to
be increasing in Europe in the short term.

125
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:11.480
So it is in fact having a
pretty good effect, if you want

126
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:15.720
to look at it that way,
punching above their weight the Hooties and affecting

127
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:20.759
the world global economy. And are
US ships which are in the area.

128
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:26.159
Are they actively protecting the ships that
are traveling through the Red Sea? I

129
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:31.200
think it's ketch as catch can depending
on where they are and where activity may

130
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.840
be. They're not they're not escorting
one on one. They don't have the

131
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.480
resources to do that. But they're
going to be in certain certain areas,

132
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.559
certain corridors, and if something happens
there they can they can steam and get

133
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:48.000
close to the quote unquote potential action
pretty hard and quick. Yeah, Well,

134
00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.600
it'll be interesting to watch this because
it's just bizarre. Again. Like

135
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.399
I said, it feels to me
like they're just poking the bear, and

136
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:01.200
it'll be interesting to see if the
bear pokes back. Tom Rivers, thank

137
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:03.519
you so much for your time this
morning. Thank you. All right,

138
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:05.879
let's get back to some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four

139
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:11.000
hour newsroom. A man has fallen
out of an RV onto the fourteen freeway

140
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.960
in the New Hall area. Dash
Cam video from another vehicle shows the RV

141
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:20.480
driver loses control yesterday morning and then
crashes into the center divider. After that,

142
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:22.440
the door of the RV opens and
the guy falls out onto the freeway.

143
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.279
This driver says he rushed over to
help. He was actually more conscious

144
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:31.000
than I thought he was gonna be. Like, his biggest concern was how's

145
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.200
my wife? So I was like, you're the one that just kind of

146
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:37.679
flew out of the vehicle, and
he was more concerned about her. Firefighters

147
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.600
confirmed the man was conscious and breathing
when they treated him. He is in

148
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:46.399
critical condition. San Diego and SeaWorld
are headed back to court because they were

149
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.240
unable to reach a settlement in a
lawsuit over back rent. During the pandemic.

150
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.279
The city had sued the theme park
for twelve million dollars in back rent

151
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:58.639
and fees. SeaWorld says it didn't
make the least payments because the city shut

152
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.679
them down in early twenty twenty and
it couldn't make any money. They'll appear

153
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.600
in court in April of next year. Federal officials in LA say thirty one

154
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.919
thousand machine gun conversion devices have been
taken off the streets in the last five

155
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.120
years. Simply possessing a conversion device
can carry a sentence ab up to ten

156
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:20.440
years in federal prison. US Attorney
LA spokesman Kieren McAvoy says the devices,

157
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.519
also known as switches, chips or
auto seers, are considered by federal law

158
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.919
to be machine guns, even if
the person's caught with the device but no

159
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:33.720
gun. These conversion devices can convert
semi automatic pistols and rifles into fully automatic

160
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.360
weapons in less than sixty seconds.
One pull the trigger can release all the

161
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.360
ammunition in the magazine. Macavoy says
the devices are being advertised as legal,

162
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:46.639
but that ain't true in La.
Corbin Carson kaf I News, the Prime

163
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:52.679
Minister of Qatar has warned of the
massive destruction inflicted by Israel's offensive on Gaza

164
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:58.799
and criticize the Israeli Defense Minister's rejection
of a ceasefire. He says Gaza isn't

165
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.000
even there anymore. Urged for a
two state solution, the fighting in Gaza

166
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:05.720
has been going on more than one
hundred days. A woman in Israel has

167
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.360
been killed and nearly twenty others have
been hurt in what police have called one

168
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:15.440
of the worst terror attacks since the
war against Hamas began. ABC's Patrick Revel

169
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:20.519
says two Palestinians stole cars yesterday and
deliberately drove into pedestrians. We've seen a

170
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.440
number of shootings in Jerusalem now.
I think what this underlines is the growing

171
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:28.000
fears of violence in the West Bank
as we see tensions that really just continue

172
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:33.759
to boil over fury, really from
over the war in Gaza. Reval says

173
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.639
at least four people are in serious
condition. The drivers, who are reportedly

174
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.679
related, were arrested. Fresh off
an Emmy win for Best Special for his

175
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:46.240
Farewell concert at Dodgers Stadium, which
was fabulous, Elton John is auctioning off

176
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.720
another batch of personal items. The
items will go up on the auction block

177
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:54.679
at Christie's in New York February ninth
through the twenty first. The collection includes

178
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:58.799
a pair of his platform boots,
a grand piano, some art, Home

179
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.120
to Corps, sunglasses, and more. Town and Country Magazine says the items

180
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.679
are from a condo he owned in
Atlanta. Elton. John held an auction

181
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:13.159
in the late nineteen eighties that one
raised over eight point two million dollars.

182
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:20.720
Is he strapped for cash or something? Former President tump uh tump. Former

183
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:26.320
President Tump. I like that.
I think we'll stick with it. Trump

184
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:30.720
says now is a time for the
country to come together. His comments came

185
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:33.960
last night in Des Moines after he
easily won the Iowa caucuses in the first

186
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.399
big test of the Republican primary race. Second place finisher Ronda Santis finished thirty

187
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.159
points back, followed by former South
Carolina governor Nikki Hayley. The focus now

188
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:48.200
shifts to next week's primary in New
Hampshire. Work to widen an eroded stretch

189
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:52.360
of beach in San Clement he's been
delayed for two months. The US Army

190
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:58.320
Corps of Engineers has decided to wait
until he can get better quality sand after

191
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:03.240
beachgoers noticed the white sand near the
San Clementi Pierre was being replaced with black

192
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:09.480
rocks. Pope Francis says some people
have jumped to ugly conclusions over his recent

193
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:13.480
decision to allow blessings for same sex
couples. Francis says the blessings do not

194
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:20.120
equal approval of gay sex and aren't
anything at all like the sacrament of marriage.

195
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:22.600
At six oh five. It's handled
on the news. The focus is

196
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:26.320
on the Republicans right now, but
the Biden machines taken in huge amounts of

197
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:31.399
money as it gears up for the
twenty twenty four election. Let's say good

198
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.600
morning to the host of How to
Money on KFI. It's Joel lars Guard.

199
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.600
Joel, we have a lot of
streaming services out there. A lot

200
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:43.879
of people signed up for them over
the weekend because of the NFC. Was

201
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:48.759
that the NFC playoff, the wild
card game, That's right, But I

202
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:54.279
also was reading that about a quarter
of US subscribers to the major streaming services

203
00:15:54.639 --> 00:16:00.759
have canceled at least three of them
over the last three years. This was

204
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:03.600
music to my ears because this is
something I've been telling people to do,

205
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:08.039
like I don't know for years now. Just because we have. When you

206
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:12.440
look at some other stats, most
people don't even know how many services they're

207
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:18.000
subscribed to, and they vastly underestimate
how much money they're spending each and every

208
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:21.440
month on streaming costs. Since so
it just shows up on your credit card

209
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:25.120
bill, and if you're not sitting
there looking closely at it, you don't

210
00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:29.039
even see I fall into this trap. Yes, and you're not alone.

211
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:33.120
There's so many people where they just
they they forget about it. It's understandable

212
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.519
they're not pouring over their credit card
bill like they should be, and so

213
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:38.960
because of that, they're like they
lose track. Oh wait, I do

214
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:42.600
have paramount plus, don't I?
And I am paying eight dollars a month

215
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:47.039
for this or twelve dollars a month
for that, and so those costs add

216
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:51.039
up. And so I've been telling
people like these subscription audits are crucial because

217
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.159
it's those recurring costs that each you, even if they don't feel like they're

218
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:57.399
terribly significant. Streaming costs have gone
up significantly over the past couple of years.

219
00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:02.440
So what might been a six dollars
bill is probably now a thirteen dollars

220
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:04.319
bill. Like that's just how it's
been going in this space, and so

221
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:08.559
I'm heartened to see that more people
are canceling. But then there's things like

222
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:12.559
that wild Card game on Peacock.
It's it's getting people to sign up for

223
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:15.720
a free trial. Oh, they
forget to cancel in time, and then

224
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:18.319
oh, well, you know what, then they forget to cancel for four

225
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:21.960
months after that. Those are the
kind of things. We have to change

226
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:26.839
our behavior. We've got to set
calendar reminders to actually hit the cancel button

227
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.799
so we actually unsubscribe. And the
truth is, like less loyalty in general

228
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.880
to these streaming service providers is the
way to go. If one of my

229
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:37.720
favorite shows comes back on Hulu or
something like that, yeah I'll sign up

230
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:40.920
for a month, maybe i'll binge
it. But for the most part,

231
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:44.400
it's just it's done with it.
I'm done with it, and I can

232
00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:48.680
always sign back up in the future
and they don't penalize you or anything like

233
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.319
that if you cancel and then come
back. No, That's what's beautiful is

234
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:55.720
there are no contracts. It's not
like cable used to be, those cable

235
00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:59.079
relationships where it's so you know,
if you cancel, there's going to be

236
00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:02.880
some sort of penalty or you're locked
into a one or two year contract or

237
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:06.279
something like that. These streaming services, it's it's it's totally at will,

238
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:10.359
and so you can sign up for
a month and then you can immediately cancel

239
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:12.880
even the day you signed up,
and then have it for that month and

240
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:15.079
then, guess what, You've already
done the hard work of canceling, so

241
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:18.880
you don't have to remember to do
it later. Oh that's good, because

242
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:22.599
like, uh, I think Handmaid's
Tale is on Hulu. That is the

243
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:27.279
only show I watch on that network. Okay, so you got to watch

244
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:30.400
The Bear? Can I tell you
that? Oh? Is that on Hulu?

245
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:32.400
Wait a second, I do watch
the Bear? Okay, so now

246
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:33.960
there's all right, that's one of
my favorites. But I'm caught up on

247
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:37.519
them. So here are the services. Watch your credit card bill for them.

248
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:42.920
Apple TV Plus got it, Discovery
Plus don't have it, Disney Plus

249
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:48.240
got it, Hulu got it,
Max got it, Netflix got it,

250
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:52.920
Paramount Plus got it, Peacock and
Stars. Yeah, it's almost it's kind

251
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:57.119
of crazy, like because early on
in your personal finance talk fifteen years ago,

252
00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:00.559
it was all about cutting the cord
right, and that was how you

253
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:03.480
save money. And now the truth
is some people will actually save money by

254
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:06.599
going back to cable if they're signed
up for the majority of those services.

255
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:08.640
It's pretty crazy to think about,
yeah, because I mean just reading off

256
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:11.920
this list with the ones that I
have, So there's six, there's fifteen,

257
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:15.359
there's twenty five. I mean that's
like seventy dollars right there. Yeah.

258
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:18.799
Yeah, it adds up real quick. And I think we're going to

259
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:22.680
see more consolidation in the space this
year, which I'm hoping is going to

260
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:25.880
bring prices down a little bit and
cause people to need to sign up for

261
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:29.880
fewer of these streaming services in general. So we might see like slightly higher

262
00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:33.119
prices for each service, but a
whole lot more content under each of these

263
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:36.160
service providers, just as we see
some of that consolidation. So I think

264
00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:38.359
that's going to be a good trend. But it's it's something we'll I'll be

265
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:41.640
keeping my eye on. Yeah,
I'll be watching it. But I got

266
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:44.160
to tell you, I love streaming. I love to be able to sit

267
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:47.000
down and watch stuff when I want
to watch it. H I mean,

268
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:49.480
it's clearly a winning model, right, I Mean, like that's what people

269
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:52.920
want they want to be able to
watch what they want to watch when they

270
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.880
want to watch it, and like
instead of sitting down at Thursday night at

271
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:00.519
eight pm to watch your favorite show, that's just there for you when you

272
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:03.599
want to watch it, which I
think, Yeah, of course you can't

273
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:06.440
put that. You can't put that
the genie back in the bottle. Yeah,

274
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:11.640
okay, let's talk about another trend
that you that you brought up in

275
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:15.119
conversation called career cushioning. What is
it? All right? So we're coming

276
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:19.279
up with QT labels for all these
different things that have just kind of been

277
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:22.519
things that we've talked about, we
just have never put the QT word to

278
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.599
it. And so for instance,
like the cash envelope method became known recently

279
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:30.000
as cash stuffing, and so I
kind of like when there's a neat little

280
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:33.799
term to go along with it because
it helps it stick in people's mind.

281
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:37.759
And this one is career cushioning.
This is the new term, and basically

282
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:42.359
all it is it's kind of setting
yourself up for success if something were to

283
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:45.759
happen with your job. And I
think this is something that we should all

284
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:51.000
be doing on the RAG, like, especially if you're a w two employee

285
00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:56.359
because you never know kind of when
contraction might happen in your industry at your

286
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:00.599
specific employer, and so it's always
a good idea not to be and not

287
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:03.119
to have this cloud hanging over your
head about what am I going to do

288
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.039
next, or be fearful about getting
laid off, but instead get prepared.

289
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:11.519
And so there's a couple of things
that you can do that what really career

290
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:15.240
cushioning is all about in my mind, and that is to one, the

291
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:19.680
best thing you can do is to
have cash savings, because if you're gonna

292
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:22.240
if you lose your job, that's
gonna be the most helpful thing, right

293
00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:26.279
is to have something like six months
of an emergency fund built up so that

294
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:30.079
you're not like stressed taking the next
job, even though it pays forty thousand

295
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:36.160
dollars a year, less that you
have time to get your resume out there,

296
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:40.440
to contact your network, and to
really try to find the next great

297
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:44.240
job. So building up your emergency
fund is like rule number one of career

298
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:45.960
cushioning. And the next thing I
just kind of mentioned it your network.

299
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:52.000
Your network is as some people would
say, your net worth and who you

300
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:55.400
know those contacts that you built up
over the years, just staying in touch

301
00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:59.079
with those people like you put it
on your calendar to every Monday or Tuesday

302
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:02.640
morning, maybe send an nail out
to at least one person who you know,

303
00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:04.319
not asking for anything, but just
checking in, Hey, how are

304
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:11.759
things where you are? Those friendly
relationships inside of where of your kind of

305
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.960
industry are going to go a long
way if for some reason you did lose

306
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.279
your job. For some the job
market is great right now. Right unemployment

307
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:22.880
still pretty close to record lows,
but we are starting to see some contraction.

308
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:26.200
We are starting to see layoffs tick
up just a little bit. And

309
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.240
so this is again not a cause
to be fearful, but it is a

310
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:33.680
cause to be prepared. It's my
friend Jordan Harbinger says, dig the well

311
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:37.039
before you're thirsty, And that's exactly
what you're doing here when it comes to

312
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:41.400
networking. You're you're maintaining those relationships
so that the well is there for you

313
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:45.440
if for some reason you might need
it. I think I'm going to put

314
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:48.599
that on my wall. Dig the
well before you're thirsty. That's a good

315
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:49.640
one. It's a smart move,
right, It's a smart way to go.

316
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:53.799
And I think sometimes we're just kind
of we're hoping that things stay the

317
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:59.759
same where we are or and and
and hope is like fine, but it's

318
00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:03.359
not great strategy if things do,
if the economy does contract, or if

319
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:07.640
where you work maybe they lose a
big client or something like that, and

320
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.359
you're out, even if you've been
there for ten, twelve years or something

321
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:15.200
like that. So that networking is
crucial. It's not just about asking for

322
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:18.960
help from other people. It's about
building those relationships and that mutual. That

323
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:22.960
mutuality that comes from networking is so
powerful, and it's called career cushioning.

324
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:26.279
That's right. Joel Larsgard. You're
so full of wisdom. And if you

325
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:29.799
would like to hear more of Joel's
wisdom, you can listen to How to

326
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:33.279
Money right here on KFI Sundays from
noon to two. Thank you, Joel.

327
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.480
Thanks Amy. All Right, Tonight, the Clippers take on the Oklahoma

328
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:41.960
City Thunder at Crypto dot com with
tip off at seven. It's on your

329
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:45.920
home of Clippers Basketball AM five seventy
LA Sports, brought to you by your

330
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:48.759
Southern California Toyota dealers. We make
it easy, like it very good?

331
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:52.640
Okay, Yeah, I can guys
also say, yeah, the I Love

332
00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.039
Lucy tribute was a very big fail
for me. I agree, massive,

333
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.240
I love Lucyfan and my wife massive
I love Lucy Fan. I just I

334
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:04.079
thought it was not done well.
I got was it Tracy, She's got

335
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:08.880
three names, Tracy Ellen Ross,
Tracy Ross Ellis, Yeah, some one

336
00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:11.839
of those Tracy Ellis Ross. I
just know, Yeah, I wasning.

337
00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:15.240
I was waiting the whole show for
it too. I thought they were going

338
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.000
to open with it, and it
was just, I don't know, made

339
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:21.480
me sad. Yeah, I don't
think that was a highlight of it.

340
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:26.079
But wow, and Succession six wins
and the Bear six wins well deserved on

341
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.599
both. I know, you know
what, in Succession, I'm glad they

342
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:33.680
won just because I hate them all
so much, which again, and I

343
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.319
always say, this means that actors
did such a great job because I hated

344
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:42.079
them. Former President Trump says now
is the time for the country to come

345
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:47.599
together. He made his comments last
night in Des Moines after easily winning Iowa

346
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:52.519
caucus's in the first major test of
the Republican primary race. Second place finisher

347
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:57.480
Ron Desantist finished thirty points back,
followed by former South Carolina Governor Nikki Hayley

348
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:03.440
worked to widen an eroded stretch of
beach in San Clementy has been delayed for

349
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.480
two months. The US Army Corps
Engineers has decided to wait until it can

350
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:11.119
get better quality sand. This after
beach goers noticed the white sand near the

351
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:15.960
San Clementi Pier was being replaced with
ikey black rocks. The city of San

352
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:21.000
Diego and SeaWorld headed to court after
not settling a lawsuit over back rent during

353
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:25.319
the pandemic. The city sued the
theme park looking for twelve million dollars in

354
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:27.839
back rent and fees from the early
days of the pandemic, but SeaWorld says

355
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:33.200
they didn't make the payments in San
Diego because the city shut the park down

356
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:36.960
and didn't allow it to make money. We're just minutes away from Handel.

357
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:41.359
On the news this morning, Rond
de Santis claims the networks engaged in election

358
00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:45.640
interference in last night's Iowa Caucus's Bill
will be talking about that, but right

359
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:51.720
now we are talking caucus with ABC's
Stephen Portnoyd. Good morning, Stephen,

360
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:57.160
Well, good morning to you.
About thirty minutes after the caucuses started,

361
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:02.440
the network started declearing Donald Trump the
winner, which I guess is why DeSantis

362
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:06.480
is claiming are crying foul right now? Yeah, I mean, look,

363
00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:11.640
his complaint is that the announcements by
the networks were made as members of the

364
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:18.680
Republican Caucus were listening to speeches and
no one had actually filled out scraps of

365
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:23.200
paper, and so the votes hadn't
actually been cast. Look, I don't

366
00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:29.480
think that the thirty point margin of
victory for Donald Trump would have been affected

367
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:34.359
if the networks had withheld that announcement, because it's all based on entrance poll

368
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:38.000
data. What you have to understand
is as people are going in to the

369
00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:44.240
caucus site, outside of the door, there are a couple of poll takers

370
00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:48.759
at you know, a representative sample
of precincts, and they hand voters questionnaires

371
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:53.720
and they ask for whom will you
vote? What are your demographical you know,

372
00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:57.400
characteristics, what are your answers to
these specific questions about issues like abortion

373
00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:02.079
and whether Joe Biden won the presidency, and a whole bunch of other things

374
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:06.440
that we can use to explain the
sort of the themes and the narratives of

375
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:10.640
the night. That data is collected
and then it's reported in and it's analyzed,

376
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:15.079
so we have data, and it
happens that that data bore out the

377
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:22.759
outcome. It is a time tested
way of covering election nights, and you

378
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:26.920
could have media ethicists and political analysts
who can debate academically whether it was the

379
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:30.880
right decision. Rohn de Santis is
complaining, I don't think he was going

380
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:36.480
to win the Iowa caucuses, but
for the announcement of what our entrants polled

381
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:37.880
data indicated, Yeah, I mean
if it would have been like that's the

382
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:42.000
complaint. Yeah, but if like
it had been maybe three percent margin,

383
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:45.480
maybe he'd have an argument, but
a thirty point market. If it had

384
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:49.000
been a three percent margin in the
entrance poll, the networks would not have

385
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:53.039
made the announcement. It was such
an overwhelming And then I want to underscore

386
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:56.720
this and say it one more time
so there's no confusion on this point.

387
00:27:56.359 --> 00:28:00.759
If there had not been such a
decisive indication in the Entrance poll that Donald

388
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:04.319
Trump was going to win, the
networks would not have made that announcement.

389
00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:11.240
Okay, were there any surprises Stephen
from last night? The extent to which

390
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:15.119
I was surprised was to see how
wide and sweeping. Donald Trump's victory was

391
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:19.920
he won among older voters, younger
voters, rural voters, urban voters,

392
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:25.000
suburban voters. He won among men, and he won among women. He

393
00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:27.720
won among college educated voters, which
was a bit of a surprise, and

394
00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:33.079
non college educated voters, which has
been his base. And so because it

395
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:37.200
was so sweeping and so vast,
he won ninety eight of Iowa's ninety nine

396
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:38.839
counties. In the only county he
didn't win, he lost to us by

397
00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:44.319
a single vote, to Nicki Haley. So the idea that we focused as

398
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:47.759
political reporters on who came in second, because frankly with we all find it

399
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:52.200
interesting, it's irrelevant. Donald Trump
won this contest by more than thirty points,

400
00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:56.559
a more historic and larger margin of
victory than in any other prior competitive,

401
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:02.599
modern Republican caucus. So when you
are asking at those entrance polls,

402
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:08.000
Stephen, did you get an answer
to why people are supporting Trump? Like,

403
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:12.200
do they have a one number one
reason? Well, we ask it's

404
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:15.119
hard to read too much into this
data, so we try to stick to

405
00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:21.079
what we have. What we have
is we asked voters what motivated you in

406
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:23.599
your vote tonight? What are the
issues. We gave them four options,

407
00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:27.480
foreign policy, abortion, immigration,
and the economy, and immigration and the

408
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:32.119
economy tied for the top answers.
And among the people who said so,

409
00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:34.519
most of them voted for Trump.
So you get a sense that people are

410
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:40.160
primarily concerned about immigration and the economy, and on those issues, Donald Trump

411
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:44.839
offers them the best answers when it
comes to some of these other issues.

412
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.200
Those who said that, roughly,
I think it was about twelve percent in

413
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:51.680
the Entrance poll who said that abortion
was their top concern. That's fine.

414
00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:55.200
For those people. They voted for
Ronda Santis and that might explain his strong

415
00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:59.319
showing on the abortion question. They
oppose abortion, they feel Ronda Santis is

416
00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:02.759
the best per to carry that message
forward, and those voters voted for him.

417
00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:04.799
There were just not enough of them
for those voters to say that foreign

418
00:30:04.839 --> 00:30:10.279
policy was most important. Well,
the former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley won among

419
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:12.680
those voters. But again they represent
a small fraction. The majority of voters

420
00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:15.640
who came out last night said that
they were concerned about immigration in the economy

421
00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:19.839
and they voted for Trump. Okay, And did people come out or did

422
00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:25.839
the weather really keep people away?
One hundred and ten thousand people took part

423
00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:29.160
in last night to Iowa CAUCUSUS.
Now, that's a small percentage of the

424
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:33.079
population of this state. It is
a participatory process, but relative to past

425
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:37.279
Iowa caucus as it was significantly down. The high water mark for a Republican

426
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:41.759
caucus was set eight years ago.
In twenty sixteen. Donald Trump entered the

427
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:45.400
national political scene, made his first
appearance on a ballot, if you will,

428
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.680
in the Iowa caucuses in twenty sixteen, and that year one hundred and

429
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:53.640
eighty six thousand people came out again
one hundred eighty six thousand in twenty sixteen,

430
00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:56.960
one hundred and ten thousand. Last
night. You could see the impact

431
00:30:57.119 --> 00:31:02.079
that these dangerously cold temperatures had or
out. Yeah, and uh. And

432
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:04.680
then the other the one that I
thought was sort of a surprise was that

433
00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:08.119
the vig Ramaswami dropped out. I
thought he'd hang around a lot. Well,

434
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:12.480
just because he has money, he
spent more time in Iowa than any

435
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:15.720
other candidate. He's you know,
I mean, and and he placed fourth

436
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:18.759
with roughly I think seven or eight
percent of the vote. He dropped out

437
00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:22.079
last night, acknowledging he doesn't have
a path forward and he endorsed Donald Trump.

438
00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:32.039
Hmm. Okay, so what's next
New Hampshire from tonight? Okay?

439
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:34.720
And is it just is it just
the three left? Or isn't Asa Hutchinson

440
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:41.559
still technically in the race, like
he hasn't suspended. Asa Hutchinson is still

441
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:47.200
in the race theoretically, I mean, in fact, he is still in

442
00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:49.759
the race. All Right, all
right, thank you so much. There

443
00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:55.480
are there. I just pointed there
are like two dozen candidates that will appear

444
00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:57.839
on the ballot, but when it
comes to who's a real contender, you've

445
00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:01.160
got the three Donald Trump, Ron
de Sanitis, Nicky Haley. All right,

446
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:05.279
there you go. Thank you for
that clarification. Stephen Portnoy. Always

447
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:07.599
a pleasure. Let's get back to
some of the stories coming out of the

448
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:12.960
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. It
could become easier to charge auto burglars in

449
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:16.200
California. Prosecutors currently have to prove
cars were locked when thieves broke into them

450
00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:22.000
to charge otto burglary. Senator Scott
Wiener says under his bill, proving forcible

451
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:25.119
entry alone would be enough to charge
the crime in San Francisco, and I

452
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:31.559
imagine elsewhere the prosecution, the DA
is losing cases or having to drop cases.

453
00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:37.440
Pasadena Police Lieutenant Keith Gomes told KFI
News yesterday that prosecutors often charge petty

454
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:43.039
theft instead of auto burglary because of
current requirements. Petty theft charges come with

455
00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:46.839
lighter consequences. Blake Trolley KFI News, a volunteer at a cemetery in Carson,

456
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:52.680
says it's disgusting that thieves would target
headstones and grave markers while looking for

457
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:57.000
metal to steal. I'm so choked
up right now because to know that they

458
00:32:57.079 --> 00:33:01.079
came back to try to take this
wonderful statue of Lincoln. Aisha Wood says

459
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:06.319
Lincoln Memorial Park was likely vandalized Thursday
night, about a week after a cemetery

460
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:09.680
in Compton was desecrated. She says
about one hundred name plaques were taken.

461
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:14.759
Families have been stopping by to place
pieces of tape on their loved one's graves

462
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:19.599
to replace the plaques. The vandals
even defaced a memorial for African American soldiers

463
00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:22.599
killed in World War Two that was
donated by boxer Joe Lewis in nineteen forty

464
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:28.200
four. Thieves usually steel, copper
and other medals to sell to recyclers.

465
00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:32.640
Succession has won six awards at the
seventy fifth Primetime Emmy Awards at the Peacock

466
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:37.240
Theater in LA. The show had
twenty seven nominations going into last night's show.

467
00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:43.799
ABC's Rhianon Allie says. Some of
Succession's awards went to actors Kiaren Colkin

468
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:47.559
and Sarah Snook, and also won
Best Drama Series. The Bear also won

469
00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:52.240
six Emmys, including Lead Actor Jeremy
Allen White and Best Comedy Series. The

470
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:58.160
night also produced a brand new ego
Elton John with his win for Outstanding Live

471
00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:01.640
Variety Special and it was outstanding.
It was for his final concert at Dodgers

472
00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:05.519
Stadium. You can still watch it
on Disney Plus. I think I said

473
00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:08.480
it was on Apple TV earlier,
but it's on Disney Plus. This is
