00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:05.200
Am I Am six forty. You're
listening to wake Up Call on demand on

2
00:00:05.280 --> 00:00:15.359
the iHeartRadio app. It's time for
your morning wake up Call. Here's Jason

3
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:22.280
Middleton. Good morning, everyone,
Welcome, this is wake Up Call.

4
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:28.160
It's June thirtieth, halfway point calendar
wise. I was looking at the markets

5
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:31.879
actually figuring out how they're going to
close out the first six months of the

6
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:35.880
year on the trading thing. Will
have a little bit more on that during

7
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:41.240
Handle on the News with Wayne.
It is the of course, it's kind

8
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:44.560
of a getaway day for a lot
of people because of the July fourth holiday

9
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:49.079
that's coming up. We have an
interview later on this hour with Jim Ryan.

10
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.320
A fifty one million people are expected
to travel. A lot of that's

11
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.479
going to be going through major airports. We're gonna check on that too.

12
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.640
If you're not going anywhere, we're
gonna do a whip around of the wake

13
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:07.840
Up Called crew this morning of what
we're watching this weekend reading and at least

14
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:14.159
in one instance, somebody's going to
go outside, so we're gonna have that

15
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:19.200
too. Let's get a few headlines
in and then we're going to get into

16
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.079
what's happening in the rest of the
show. The Supreme Court is expected to

17
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:29.239
drop a few more decisions this morning, including student loan repayment and LGBTQ plus

18
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:33.280
policies. Now. Yesterday the Supreme
Court jenmed up the news cycle with its

19
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:37.079
affirmative action ruling, and we're going
to have more on that in this show

20
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:41.040
as well. In and around Paris, six hundred have been arrested during civil

21
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:46.079
unarrest and violent protests after a teenager
was shot and killed by a police officer

22
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.719
moral and that is also coming up
this hour. And we've had a spate

23
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.120
of deadly and serious car accidents,
it seems this week. Last night a

24
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.239
sixty year old woman was killed and
five others, including a toddler, were

25
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.599
hurt, and a head on crash
in Van five people were taken to the

26
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:07.439
hospital. And as this heat wave
moves in, another thing to watch,

27
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:14.159
specifically the sporting overnight fog is picking
up and some spots only have visibility of

28
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:16.719
a quarter of a mile, So
I know that the traffic volume might be

29
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:20.599
down a little bit today and definitely
on Monday and Tuesday, but still if

30
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.000
you only can see for a quarter
of a mile and you're going eighty five

31
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.080
one one thirty four, maybe not
the best choice. Let's start with some

32
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.639
of the stories coming out of the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom, where we

33
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:34.000
do lead local A lawsuit has been
filed against the VA over allegations it failed

34
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.240
to provide housing for homeless veterans in
LA. Attorney Eve Hill says the new

35
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:42.000
homeless data released yesterday includes a twelve
percent increase in the number of homeless vets

36
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.479
in the LA area. Hill says
the VA was sued once before over a

37
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:49.159
failure to act. It was settled
in twenty fifteen with a plan in place

38
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.800
that would have had seven hundred housing
units in place on that campus by now

39
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:57.840
and would have had twelve hundred units
on that campus within the next few years.

40
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.879
But Hill says when asked why the
housing has happened, she says,

41
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:02.919
the agency replied, We're not going
to spend the money. The VA won't

42
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:08.479
comment on pending litigation. Steve Gregory
kafinews family members of people killed in the

43
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:13.599
school shooting in Parkland, Florida,
have questioned how a sheriff's deputy who did

44
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:19.000
nothing was cleared by a jury.
We don't understand how this jury looked at

45
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:23.759
the evidence that was presented and found
him not guilty fired at Deputy Scott Peterson

46
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:28.800
was acquitted yesterday of felony, child
neglect and other charges for taking cover in

47
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:32.879
twenty eighteen instead of confronting the shooter
who killed seventeen people. Peterson teared up

48
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.280
as the verdict was read. He
later hugged his wife and said he also

49
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.879
wanted to hug the families, but
you know, I know that's maybe not

50
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:44.039
what they're feeling at this point.
Peterson says the only person to blame is

51
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.400
the monster who did the shooting.
The deadline for actors in studios to make

52
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:52.879
a deal is getting close. ABC's
Jason Nathanson says if the Hollywood groups can't

53
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:58.439
negotiate by tonight, the actors could
join the WGA strike on the WJA on

54
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:02.400
strike. The actors sag AFTER has
been negotiating with the Hollywood studios represented by

55
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.319
the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television
Producers for several weeks now over many of

56
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:11.120
the same things at issue in the
writer's strike. Earlier this month, nearly

57
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:15.560
ninety eight percent of sag after A
members approved the vote to authorize a strike.

58
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.079
Nathanson says the last time and the
only time that SAG and the WGA

59
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:25.040
were on strike at the same time
was in nineteen sixty And Broadway is going

60
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:30.079
back to nineteen eighty five. Previews

Amy King KFI news first topic for today

67
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:01.959
on Wake Up Call is the Supreme
Court ruling that recasts, if not recalls,

68
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.439
affirmative Action in the United States.
ABC News correspond at Faith of Boo

69
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:10.199
Bay is with us to help us
with the day afternows around this welcome back

70
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.279
in Yeah, thank you, thanks
for having me. Yeah, it's the

71
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:17.639
day after Affirmative Action was effectively rolled
back. How are the politics playing out

72
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:21.560
since yesterday morning? Well, Mami
here the White House. You know,

73
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:27.600
this was not a topic that the
Biden administration wanted the Supreme Court to take

74
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.519
up. You know, they've been
on the record explicitly asking the Supreme Court

75
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:34.399
to reject this case, going back
to when this case was being considered by

76
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:39.639
the Supreme Court. The administration even
went through the Department of Justice to file

77
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:43.160
a brief to the Supreme Court arguing
that there was no reason to take up

78
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.079
the Harvard case at all. So
fast forward. Now, the Justices have

79
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:53.319
gutted the use of affirmative action in
the process of admissions for colleges, and

80
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:57.040
the yesterday the President said, you
know, he strongly, strongly disagrees with

81
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.040
the court's decision. He said this
is not a normal because they were walking

82
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:05.800
away from decades of precedent, and
that moving forward, that there needs to

83
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:10.959
be something done in place of this. You know, he said, this

84
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:15.160
cannot be the last word. And
so he's now directing the Department of Education

85
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.879
to review practices in the school admissions
process when it comes to diversity, when

86
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:24.560
it comes to legacy admissions and other
systems. And so what we're learning right

87
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:28.439
now is that the Department of Education
will start that review as soon as possible,

88
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.079
and then within the next forty five
days they will issue some guidance to

89
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:35.040
the collegists all across the country as
it relates to this ruling and what they

90
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:40.360
can do moving forward. But the
President really urged collegists across the country to

91
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:45.519
maintain their commitment to diversity despite what
the Supreme Court ruled in this case.

92
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.120
Well, Faith, you just described
some of the very detail oriented responses to

93
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:53.879
this, which of course implies that
they were prepped for it and the administration

94
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.319
wanted to have an immediate kind of
pushback. And that was kind of my

95
00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.360
follow up question. But then I
did notice that he kind of sort of

96
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.800
the President kind of sort of fell
for the classic walk away question again yesterday.

97
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:09.240
What happened with that? Yeah,
so a reporter asked him whether this

98
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:13.519
was a rowe court, and you
know, he responded by he paused for

99
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.560
a minute, and then he responded
and he said, this is not a

100
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:19.680
normal court. Of course, later
on, the President explained further what he

101
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:25.399
meant by that, and what he
said during a TV interview was the fact

102
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.639
that, you know, he has
issues with the way that the court has

103
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.800
been rolling back precedent. For example, with affirmative action, and also with

104
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.600
the Roe v. Wade, you
know, decades of precedent and the Court

105
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:38.600
is overturning that, and so he
said, that's what he meant by that.

106
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:41.920
But you know, he was asked
yesterday as well, you know,

107
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:46.279
whether this decision means that he would
be in favor of expanding the courts,

108
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:48.480
and he said no, and that's
that it would be a mistake to do

109
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:54.240
that, and that it would further
politicize this court, which would be not

110
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:58.519
in the a good thing for the
country as a whole. But you know,

111
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:03.160
he also misspoke yesterday he talked about
how a majority of Americans actually support

112
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:09.800
affirmative action. That's not what the
polls show. Polling from our five thirty

113
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:15.519
eight partners who actually they actually analyze
the sentiments across the country using different polls

114
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.839
altogether, and they found that a
majority, a strong majority of Americans actually

115
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:24.600
have said that they would agree with
limiting affirmative action or ending affirmative action in

116
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.399
higher education. They do support diversity
in higher education, but they just don't

117
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:33.799
want affirmative action the way it has
been. And so the polling as shown

118
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.039
that Americans do support what the courts
did in this case. Well. As

119
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.000
we move into the weekend, of
course, the Sunday yacht shows will have

120
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.399
a lot more to add to this, But thank you for helping us unpack

121
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:45.360
the day after news when it comes
to affirmative action. I assume you're on

122
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.200
the case this morning as well when
other rulings drop around seven am Pacific.

123
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.200
Yes, I will be here at
the White House that if the President has

124
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.679
anything to say, we'll be sure
to let you know. Oh, thanks

125
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:56.759
a lot, Thank you very much, and thanks for joining us again.

126
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:01.879
Thank you have a great day.
ABC News correspondent Bob there helping us unpack

127
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:05.120
the day after affirmative action was effectively
rolled back. Now, let's get back

128
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.879
to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

129
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.440
Long Beach City College is planning to
build affordable housing for homeless students. Superintendent

130
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:16.679
President doctor Mike Munos says about three
hundred units would be created on campus for

131
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:22.559
students without dependence. The twenty four
units that we're hoping to build as part

132
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.799
of the North Long Beach Educational Higher
Educational Center that would have units that would

133
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.080
allow for students but dependence. Hopefully
as well, you see. Muniz says

134
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.039
the on campus units will cost about
ninety million dollars to build, and other

135
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.399
off campus housing is going to cost
another thirty million dollars. He says there's

136
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.000
no set date on when the units
would be ready. You see. Irvine

137
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.480
researchers have helped create the world's first
high resolution human breast atlas to help fight

138
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.600
breast cancer. The seven year project
is part of a global Human Cell Atlas

139
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.279
consortium, which is mapping every organ
system in the body. You see.

140
00:09:54.279 --> 00:10:00.039
Irvine Associate Professor Kai Kessenbrock says this
is a groundbreaking resource for the cancer a

141
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.279
research community. You can look at
it as somewhat of a Google Maps system

142
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.960
for the human breast and you can
see sellia neighborhoods and you can see how

143
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.919
they start to change potentially during breast
cancer. The human organ system Atlas projects

144
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.679
build off recent advances and g no
make expression on a single cell level.

145
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.600
In Orange County, Corbin Carson k
if I News. Before we go to

146
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.480
Nick Poliuchuini in check traffic one more
time, We're gonna start our whip around

147
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.120
as to what people are going to
be watching, doing, reading, listening

148
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.080
to this weekend and I'll want to
start with producer Nate. Nate, are

149
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.960
you still all on the mic?
Oh? Yeah, I'm here? All

150
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.519
right? Cool? Now, you
mentioned one thing and I said, hey,

151
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.000
let's save it for air. So
I hope I picked the right clip.

152
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.000
But I'm going to start with the
clip and then you tell me why.

153
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:45.200
Okay, totally, all right,
mister g qu gotta take it.

154
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:58.879
How you doing, Mike? Are
you screaming about operations? So Nate?

155
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.799
So, yeah, that's an iconic
show. Yeah, totally. I don't

156
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:05.600
know if I've seen that episode yet, but um yeah, I've been watching

157
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:13.440
The Sopranos for the first time.
I just finished season two last night's violence.

158
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:15.559
Yeah. I was gonna say,
yeah, a spoiler. There might

159
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.080
be something because in that clip,
what he's doing is he's a stapling a

160
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.679
parking ticket to somebody's chest. You
know, that's what I thought. I

161
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:24.639
heard a staple gun in there.
That's you know, that's really cool way

162
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.120
to paint the picture. Okay,
Well, what made you whip around back

163
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.279
to The Sopranos. I mean it's
been out for a minute. Yeah,

164
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:35.000
I mean I kind of just missed
it. I was a little too young

165
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:37.799
when it dropped in like nineteen ninety
nine, two thousand and Um, I've

166
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:43.919
always loved mob movies, and since
I have the streaming service Max formerly known

167
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.120
as HBO Max, I have no
idea why they changed the name. Um,

168
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.759
we're not sponsored, by the way, Yeah, not sponsored. Uh

169
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:54.600
yeah. I just decided like,
hey, I love mob movies. Everyone

170
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:56.960
talks about the sopranos. Let me
crack this open. And then I watched

171
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:01.440
like the first couple of episodes of
the first season, and I've pretty much

172
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:03.159
been hooked right on. Okay,
well cool, let's put a pen in

173
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.399
when you see the finale and then
we'll come back and see what you think

174
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:09.399
of that. No, no spoilers, no further spoilers. Oh yeah like

175
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.480
that. I've heard things about the
finale, but you know, I'm enjoying

176
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.080
the ride so far. It's about
the journey. Good exactly. It is

177
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:22.600
about the journey and good call on
the branding miss from HBO. Yeah Max.

178
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.120
I was watching Max over the weekend, like, what is that your

179
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.799
dog? Are you writing your kid? I don't know what that means.

180
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.080
Nate, Thanks for thanks for that. I appreciate it. Thank you.

181
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.679
Jason the Pentagon says a Chinese by
balloon did not collect intelligence during a flight

182
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.519
over the US earlier this year.
The Defense Department says the balloon did not

183
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.360
gather any data as it flew over
the country for most of a week in

184
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:48.360
February, fascinating most people who have
televisions. The US Supreme Court says employers

185
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.759
must reasonably accommodate a worker's religious beliefs. The court ruled yesterday on the case

186
00:12:52.759 --> 00:13:00.279
of a Pennsylvania mail carrier for the
US Postal Service. Republican Congressman George Antos

187
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:03.519
is going to be in federal court
today is New York court appearance comes after

188
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:09.480
pleading not guilty to thirteen charges,
including wire fraud, money laundering, and

189
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.279
making false statements to the House of
Representatives. The fact that that's a crime.

190
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:18.039
At five thirty, yeah, the
House whisper a Dean Sharp is going

191
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.240
to be with us. We're gonna
be talking about finding new life for older

192
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.600
homes. And honestly, with Dean, you can go narrow and deep on

193
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:26.759
just about anything when it comes to
homes, home designs, inside and outside.

194
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:30.919
But right now, ABC's Jim Ryan
is on the line. The top

195
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.159
of mind subject for us this morning
in a lot of ways, at least

196
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:37.399
until seven o'clock where the Supreme Court
comes out with some new rulings. Fifty

197
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.159
one million Americans are going to hit
the road this weekend and some fourth welcome

198
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:43.759
in, Jim, good to hear
you again. It's an eleven percent increase

199
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.120
from last year, Jason. About
eight percent of those people will travel by

200
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.000
air. Doesn't sound like a lot, but that's extremely high in terms of

201
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.039
the ratio of people flying to people
driving. Highest it's spin in about twenty

202
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.799
years. So yes, skis are
going to be crowded. The roads are

203
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:01.799
going to be crowded. They all
across the country. Triple A has figured

204
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.159
out some best times and some worst
times, and best routes and worst routes.

205
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:11.519
To take the worst one around Los
Angeles, taking I fifteen to Las

206
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.000
Vegas tomorrow, well Sunday at six
pm, it'll take sixty percent longer than

207
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.399
it normally does, about six hours
twelve minutes. Wow. Talk about fear

208
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:22.679
and loathing on the road. That's
why I didn't know idea. So eleven

209
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.000
percent jump, that's quite a bit. Are we at pre pandemic levels yet?

210
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.840
Oh yeah, yeah. And in
fact, this fourth of July holiday

211
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:33.320
is probably gonna set records for all
Fourth of July holidays, but keep in

212
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.559
mind that it's a very long holiday. This year the Triple A puts brackets

213
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:43.000
around these holiday weekends. Of course, then it begins today and it ends

214
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.759
this coming Tuesday. Well, Tuesday
is the fourth of July. Who's going

215
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:50.519
to stay out watch fireworks on the
fourth of July or drone shows or whatever

216
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:52.000
you do, right, and then
go back to work on the fifth,

217
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:56.240
which is Wednesday. So I sort
of think that they might as well extend

218
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:01.200
it out to today through next Wednesday, a five day holiday, because that's

219
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:03.039
I think what a lot of people
will be doing. But so you know,

220
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:07.519
that's that's one of the reasons I
think that we're naturally gonna have a

221
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.080
record for travelers because it is a
very long holiday. But yeah, the

222
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:13.639
volumes are much higher as well.
ABC's Jim Ryan right there calling for a

223
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:18.720
European style holiday weekend of five days. Okay, gotcha, Jim. I'd

224
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.039
be nice. What did though?
But yeah, I'm with you. I

225
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:24.279
mean, you're right. Tuesday night, the family and I are going to

226
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:28.080
go to Dodger Stadium to see the
game, and then the fireworks are afterwards,

227
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.519
and then I'm back on the air
Wednesday morning because nobody could cover for

228
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:33.519
him because they're all out doing their
July fourth party. Don't bother going to

229
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.960
bed because you won't get out of
there until. Yeah, it's fair,

230
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.399
you know, two three in the
morning. Yeah, I'm just gonna roll

231
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.039
with it. What about let's go
back to the tips you mentioned. Can

232
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:45.879
you extrapolate on some of those coming
out of triple because I mean, fifty

233
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:48.000
one million people traveling is no joke
and we want to be ready. Oh.

234
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:52.679
Absolutely, And you know, obviously
getting to the airport early is the

235
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.720
best advice. TSA does have a
goal set for herself. It wants to

236
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:00.600
have ninety eight percent of wait times
under thirty minutes in the stand hundred line.

237
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:03.159
In the pre check line, they
want to have it under ten ten

238
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:07.039
minutes. So ninety eight percent of
the way times and pre checks should be

239
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:10.240
ten minutes or less, should be
half an hour in the regular lines.

240
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:14.960
So get there early, be ready
for that sort of delay. Potentially,

241
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:18.039
if you're on the road, keep
in mind that in a lot of parts

242
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:21.720
of the country it's extremely hot.
Make sure that your coolant levels are up

243
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:25.200
to your oil has been changed and
as fresh the tires are up, and

244
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:29.240
that the air conditioning works. And
if you're in the in the east coast,

245
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:32.320
or if you're ahead of that direction, be aware that some storms could

246
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:34.840
be coming. So it depends upon
where you are as to being prepared for

247
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.159
this fourth of July holiday weekend.
Jason, good call on the car maintenance,

248
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:41.519
especially if you're head into Vegas and
you don't want to add to that

249
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:44.600
sixty percent increase. If you're slepping
all the way to hit the strip.

250
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.759
I fifteen can be a lonely place
if you're out there with a busted radiator,

251
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.200
it's just you and the Vulguersum.
I know we can go. I

252
00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:55.039
know I can go lateral with you
a little bit. And I believe you're

253
00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:57.759
still in North Texas today, Yes, And how's the heat doome doing?

254
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:03.320
It has moved to the eavest,
Thank Heaven's mercifully right at this moment at

255
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:07.559
seventy seven degrees and at seven twenty
five Central time, and it'll climb out

256
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.000
into the mid nineties today, may
not touch a hundred, that's the expectation

257
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:15.119
at least. But over to the
east of here, in Louisiana, Mississippi,

258
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.559
Alabama. They are looking at triple
digit heat now and it is miserable

259
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:26.480
out there. So yeah, mercifully
that heat dome that sucked all the life

260
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.680
out of North Texas now has gone
over toward Louisiana. Okay, well,

261
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:30.480
thanks for that update too, Jim, and I hope you have a great

262
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.400
holiday weekend. I'm on the air
all next week, so maybe we'll speak

263
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:36.920
again me too. We'll talk to
you then, all right, thanks Jim.

264
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.240
Let's get back to some news coming
out of the KFI twenty four hour

265
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:45.440
newsroom. The California Reparations Task Force
has recommended one hundred and fifteen policies to

266
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:49.079
address harms to black people, but
no payment amount or funding plan. Never

267
00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:53.640
forget that we were enslave in this
country longer than we have been free.

268
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:59.359
Class Force chair and repertory justice attorney
from La Camillamore listed some of the racial

269
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.720
disparity he's documented in the eleven hundred
page report, vigiland team violence, extrajudicial

270
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.960
terror, war on drugs, mass
and car serration, unfair sentencing, the

271
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:15.039
school to prison pipeline, extreme poverty, homelessness, gentrification, wealthlessness. The

272
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:21.039
report also suggests formal apologies. We
have been relegated to the bottom of the

273
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:23.960
cast system in this country. Governor
Newsom said yesterday, the report comes out

274
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:29.400
right as the Supreme Court strikes down
affirmative action and other civil rights in the

275
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:34.200
country are regressing. I take the
responsibility to answer and to be accountable to

276
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:37.680
what's going on as relates to race
relations in the state in the nation.

277
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:42.240
I am very mindful of our past
recommendations from the two year task force now

278
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:48.680
go to the state legislature. Corbin
Carson k if I news and La County

279
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:55.519
is being sued by the US Attorney's
Office for allegedly discriminating against voters with disabilities.

280
00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:59.480
Prosecutors say polling places in Pasadena,
North Hollywood, Downey, and Watts

281
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:02.880
are still in use, even though
the federal government first alerted the county about

282
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:07.000
lack of accessibility for people with disabilities
back in twenty sixteen and twenty twenty.

283
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.920
The lawsuit claims more than two hundred
fifty voting centers were observed throughout the county

284
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:14.599
in twenty sixteen and twenty twenty.
An investigators say they noticed only a small

285
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:18.119
number complied with the Americans with Disabilities
Act. Issues with van parking ramps and

286
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.880
handrails were among the most common complaints. Steve Gregory KINGO Fine News. An

287
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:27.519
elderly woman has returned home from the
hospital following an attack by thousands of bees

288
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:32.559
outside her home in Murietta. Video
from Wednesday shows the woman being swarmed by

289
00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:34.759
bees, falling to the ground,
and then neighbors trying to help. Fire

290
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:38.759
and rescue crews arrived and were also
attacked, but they were able to get

291
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:44.119
rid of the bees with help from
bee removal pros. Now experts say southern

292
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:48.200
California's bee population has exploded after the
historic wet winter, and I can tell

293
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:51.279
you don't squad at them. If
you can't, just back away. Biggest

294
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:55.400
nightmare is one of my biggest nightmares. Is it a bee attack? Yeah?

295
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:59.759
I don't. Yeah, I'm pro
b bees, man, I'm prob.

296
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:02.880
I feel you. And apparently with
the population this high right now,

297
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:04.920
yikes. I respect bees, I
respect what they do for us, but

298
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:08.880
stay very far away from me,
please, Okay? Fair enough? Anne

299
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.440

produce Ram put her headset on because she

00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:15.519
let's talk about bees. Apparently,
No, you don't want to talk about

301
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.279
a big bee lady that Anne is
he yeah, yeah on the West loses

302
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:21.240
on the West Valley. Let me
get back to this one real quick before

303
00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:25.400
we get to the bottom. The
Equally Employment Opportunity Commission says new federal laws

304
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:30.400
for pregnant workers will not overturn stricter
California laws. The laws would require employers

305
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:34.920
with at least fifteen workers to make
workplace accommodations for expectant mothers. Employment attorney

306
00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:40.880
Doug Silverstein says this could include rest
breaks, relief from strenuous activity, and

307
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:44.839
special parkings. At least one hundred
people have died in Mexico over the past

308
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.799
three weeks as a heat wave is
pushing temperatures above one hundred and twenty degrees

309
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:51.799
in some parts of the country,
and nearly all the deaths are attributed to

310
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:57.200
heat stroke and dehydration. Geraldo Rivera
says he has been fired from The five

311
00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:00.960
on Fox News and is quit the
network. The journalists said so in a

312
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:07.279
post last night on Twitter celebrating Social
Media Day. Now coming up at five

313
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:10.799
fifty, ABC's Royal Oaks is gonna
spin with us back to the affirmative action

314
00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:12.440
decision that dropped yesterday, and then
we're also going to talk about what we

315
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:17.240
expect to get at around seven am
Pacific time today. Of course, this

316
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:18.480
is Wayne's swing zone as well,
so we're just going to kind of t

317
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:22.000
that up. But right now on
the line, the inimitable being sharp.

318
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.519
Good morning Ding, Good morning Jay. So how are you doing? But

319
00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:30.319
I'm okay, Man, New life
for older homes? Okay, what qualifies

320
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:34.400
as an older home in California?
Older home? You know, anything about

321
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:38.799
forty plus years at this point.
And it's not so much the age of

322
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:44.359
the house as it is, you
know, whether it belongs to a style

323
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:49.759
grouping or a style classification that's no
longer being you know, made in mass

324
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:56.640
And the last major architectural style for
southern California was California Ranch and that stopped

325
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:02.400
being done in mass by developers right
around nineteen eighty or so. So it's

326
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:03.640
twenty twenty three. You do the
math, you know, to live in

327
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:08.839
a classic home in California, it's
probably got to be at least forty three

328
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:11.880
years old or so. Okay,
thanks Now for older homes. You want

329
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:14.799
to give him new life. You
don't want to tear the do you want

330
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:17.839
to kind of accentuate the positives.
Right, So there's got to be some

331
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:19.799
lighter lifts and then some heavier lifts. Let's start with the lighter lifts.

332
00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:23.880
What would you suggest, Yeah,
the lighter lifts are the things that really

333
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:30.920
have to do with a superficial stuff
that have been built into homes. And

334
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:33.359
when we talk about, you know, rehabbing an older home, what we're

335
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:37.720
really talking about. There's two categories
of things. One that's just stuff that's

336
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:42.240
breaken down right, just maintenance kind
of things. The other is, you

337
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:47.759
know, improving on the style that
it was built in to begin with.

338
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:52.799
And that can be a little bit
too trickier because some of those things that

339
00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.799
were built in by the tract home
developers, just assuming most of us live

340
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:02.279
in tract homes, some of them
are in bed into the home unfortunately,

341
00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:07.359
stuff like you know, builder grade
plumbing and electrical systems, other things are

342
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:11.240
more on the surface of the home, right, Like they use cheap paint,

343
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:14.240
Okay, well now we're going to
use better paint. They put in

344
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:18.400
cheap lighting fixtures, Well we're going
to replace those. Those are light lifts,

345
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:22.480
right, because they're superficial things.
Floor coverings, even things like roofing

346
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:27.640
materials are a lighter lift than getting
into the walls and redoing plumbing, drainage

347
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:32.680
systems, electrical work, that kind
of thing. So if we're looking for

348
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:37.839
the light changes, then we're going
for purely superficial items. And then if

349
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:41.079
we dig in just a little bit, we could be making some changes like

350
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:47.079
getting rid of unnecessary soffits, which
I just about every tract home in California

351
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:52.640
has unnecessary soffits. Or if you're
from the north, bulkheads, changing out

352
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:56.960
lighting panels, acoustic ceilings, right, the popcorn on the ceiling, those

353
00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:03.400
kinds of things. Those are the
kinds of things that are yeah, capital

354
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:08.240
capital C charming. Don't like you
like that popcorn ceilings? Right, very

355
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:11.920
it's very period, for sure,
you're totally You're totally right, Hey,

356
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:15.640
household budget wise, Dean, just
real quick on the roofing thing. Is

357
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:21.240
that a higher ROI because it's visual
and structural? Yeah, it is,

358
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:25.759
it is, and and it's also
something that's just so critical to the house.

359
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:29.839
I mean, obviously the roof is
super important. And anybody who's in

360
00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:32.480
the middle of thinking about like,
oh, you know, it's time to

361
00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:34.359
change out the roof, I would
tell them two things. Number One,

362
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:37.759
good on you. It's good timing
for that. In fact, not this

363
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.720
weekend, but next weekend. We're
spending the entire weekend talking about roofing y

364
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:48.319
because El Nino is officially here,
and so we are probably staring down the

365
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:53.119
pipeline at yet another extremely wet winter. Okay, it's not a guarantee,

366
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:57.559
but it is a very strong likelihood, and so now is the time to

367
00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:02.240
you know, tune up the roof
and make sure that as we head into

368
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:06.839
fall in winter, you're ready for
drainage and water issues. But also from

369
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:10.839
an aesthetics point of view, I
think we mentioned this a couple three weeks

370
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:15.640
ago. When you're actually looking at
most houses in Southern California, the average

371
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.960
attract home in southern California, we
kind of forget about the roof, but

372
00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:22.319
as you look at a house,
it takes up about a third of the

373
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:29.359
view, and so stylistically the roofing
choice really really important for the way that

374
00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:32.680
your house just vibes on the street. Very cool. I know, I

375
00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:34.240
have to let you go relatively soon. We're talking about older homes. We

376
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:38.799
talk about popcorn ceilings being a visual
affront, but there are other caustic materials

377
00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:42.839
in homes, and I imagine those
have to be confronted as projects eventually.

378
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:48.599
What are some of those Well,
probably the other issue would be asbestos ducting

379
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.200
and duct work in the attics that
sometimes you can just avoid changing out altogether.

380
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.319
It's not a threat to you when
it's not being disturbed. In fact,

381
00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:59.599
if you have an older acoustic ceiling, you want to make sure it

382
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:03.680
gets tested for asbestos. And then
the other thing for a really really old

383
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:07.440
home, when we're just changing out
or stripping paint, you got to be

384
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:11.160
aware of whether the original paint on
that house was done in the era of

385
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:17.839
lead based paints. Because there's a
way to treat releasing getting lead based paint

386
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:21.920
off of a house, and it's
not just by sitting there with your sander

387
00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:26.519
breathing in all the lead that you're
now releasing. So there are ways to

388
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:29.319
do that. We'll be talking about
that this weekend as well. What time

389
00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:33.720
this weekend Every Saturday morning from six
day and Sundays from nine to noon.

390
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:37.200
Dean, thanks so much for the
time. Thanks Jason, talk to you

391
00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:41.759
next week and I'll be listening this
weekend too, because honestly, there's something

392
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:44.599
to pick up every week when Dean
does a show. It's really cool.

393
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:48.480
You don't have to be a home
owner either. It's just kind of anyway.

394
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:52.039
It's very useful information. And speaking
of useful information, we're doing the

395
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:56.559
whip around on what people are binging, watching, listening to, maybe going

396
00:26:56.559 --> 00:26:59.599
out and doing this weekend as we
head into the July fourth holiday, And

397
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:03.240
Tyler, can I ask you what
you're happening, what you might have on

398
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:07.240
your plate when it comes to this
long ish weekend, not for us but

399
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:12.160
for most. Yeah. So I
actually have a non typical busy weekend ahead

400
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:15.359
of myself. It's my wife and
I his anniversary tomorrow, two years married.

401
00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:21.640
So tonight she's got some plans for
us. We're gonna go to Tomoco,

402
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:26.359
which is a massage parlor, and
then afterwards you have some sushi together

403
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.119
in a kimono. So that'll be
nice and romantic and also super relaxing.

404
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:34.559
I'm excited about that. Yeah,
And then tomorrow we're slated to see No

405
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:38.279
Hard Feelings, the new Jennifer Lawrence
movie, Huh boilers on that. I

406
00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:41.839
saw it this week. You know, I think I'll just wait and see

407
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.960
it. If that's okay, that's
okay. There's a lot of subtexts.

408
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:48.599
I'm just kidding. Yeah, I
hear she shows her true colors in that

409
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:53.119
movie. Uh yeah, the colors
are flying. Yeah, personality really comes

410
00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:56.240
out. Yeah, yeah, I
can't wait. Indeed, a happy anniversary

411
00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.880
to thank you, sir, appreciate
that absolutely. A federal judge rejecting Donald

412
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:04.119
Trump's bid to dismiss a defamation lawsuit
from New York columnist A Jean Carroll.

413
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:08.759
US District judge there made the ruling
yesterday on the first of two lawsuits that

414
00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:12.920
accused Trump of defamation for denying he
raped her in the mid nineties. The

415
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:18.079
US is considering sending cluster munitions to
Ukraine. That's according to two senior US

416
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:22.720
officials, who say the Biden administration
is leaning towards sending the weapons within the

417
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:26.279
next few months. More than one
hundred million Americans are under air quality alerts

418
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:32.319
as smoke from wildfires in Canada continues
filing up the air in the United States,

419
00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:36.440
air quality alerts Washington to Vermont,
down to North Carolina and the worst

420
00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:41.480
air quality this morning Michigan. Sorry, ABC's Royal Oaks is on the line.

421
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:45.119
He's a legal analyst, be busy
this week. Welcome in, Hey

422
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:49.279
my pleasure. Yeah, big day
for the Supreme Court yesterday in terms of

423
00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:53.640
affirmative action, and the Chief Justice
Roberts announced from the bench today Friday is

424
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:56.920
going to be it the last.
A couple of big decisions will be picked

425
00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:00.880
out the door, and then the
justices are off on vacation. By the

426
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:03.920
way, I love the music.
Mad Man is my favorite TV show ever.

427
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:06.480
All Right, so we were doing
whip arounds on what people are going

428
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:08.920
to be binging this weekend. I'm
glad you brought up mad Man. Let

429
00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:12.640
me get you, Let me get
your take on yesterday's decision before we preview

430
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:19.039
what we expect later this morning when
the affirmative When the affirmative action came in,

431
00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:23.759
what was your immediate knee jerk take. Well, it wasn't a surprise,

432
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:26.119
so I wasn't too shocked. You
know. When they had the oral

433
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:30.880
argument several months ago, the justices
on both sides kind of telegraphed their punches.

434
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:33.720
Chief Justice Roberts wrote back in two
thousand and seven that the way to

435
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:38.000
end that racial discrimination is not more
racial discrimination. So we kind of knew

436
00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:42.000
where he was coming from but he
really laid it out. He just said,

437
00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:47.160
look the equal Protection clause at the
Constitution, band's racial discrimination. He

438
00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:52.839
did say, nothing prohibits universities from
considering an applicant's discussion of how race affected

439
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:56.519
their life. So the Justice sodomy
Or was not impressed with this. She

440
00:29:56.559 --> 00:29:59.480
said, that's like putting a lipstick
on a pig. So, yeah,

441
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:03.160
there was a lot, a lot
of emotion on the High Court yesterday.

442
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:07.440
Okay, let's move to this morning. Apparently, or hopefully or optimistically,

443
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:11.480
we should expect two more fairly large
decisions to come down around seven o'clock our

444
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:15.240
time here on the West Coast.
Let's start with the LGBTQ plus rights slash

445
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:19.119
free speech decision. Is what's at
stake there and what do you expect?

446
00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:25.599
Yeah, so the court took up
the case of a Christian graphic artist who

447
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:30.319
does not want to make wedding websites
for same sex couples. This is in

448
00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:33.160
Colorado. Again, we were called
with several years ago. There was another

449
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:37.960
Colorado case involving the wedding cakes that
made it up to the US Supreme Court.

450
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:44.279
Colorado state law requires that businesses open
to the public provide services without discrimination.

451
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:48.400
So the real question is whether there
is a religious right or a free

452
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.400
speech right for this web designer,
Laurie Smith, And she's going to learn

453
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:55.960
her fate, as you say,
at the seven o'clock our times more okay,

454
00:30:56.039 --> 00:30:57.720
and the other ones that you expect
to get today, I believe is

455
00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:00.960
student debt relief. There are more
than one case there though, right,

456
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:06.319
yeah, a couple of cases,
but really the same issue. The court

457
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:11.519
is going to decide if President Biden's
federal student loan forgiveness program that would wipe

458
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:15.160
out about four hundred billion dollars of
debt, whether that may go forward.

459
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:21.440
There were a couple of suits won
by six states controlled by Republicans and the

460
00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:25.880
other by two borrowers who said,
hey, we don't qualify for loan forgiveness

461
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:30.000
under the terms of this deal.
This one's a little harder to predict it.

462
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:33.079
We didn't see the tea leaves that
well at the oral argument. So

463
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:37.160
we'll find out at seven o'clock,
and a lot of students are going to

464
00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:40.519
be listening to find out if their
chunk of the four hundred billion dollars debt

465
00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:44.640
will disappear. You know what I
read the Supreme Court ruled yesterday. Everybody

466
00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:48.160
just assumes we're going to go right
to the affirmative action decisions. Can we

467
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:52.480
talk about the other one about the
postmaster from Pennsylvania the postal employee from Pennsylvania

468
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:55.400
for a second. What was at
stake there? And let's unpack the ruling

469
00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:57.480
a little bit. That one's not
getting as much press as the others.

470
00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:02.200
No, but it was kind shocking
because it was nine to zero. Every

471
00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:07.440
justice agreed to vote for the postal
workers. So essentially, this is a

472
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:12.720
Christian postal worker who does not like
to work on Sundays because of his faith.

473
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:16.400
The boss said, sorry, Jeff
Bezos says, the Amazon packages have

474
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:21.599
to be delivered today. We promised
one click and all that, and the

475
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:23.359
postal worker said, no, I'm
not doing it. And so the question

476
00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:28.480
is may he be fired? And
the court nine zero said no, he

477
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:32.680
may not be fired. The idea
is, if your religious beliefs has a

478
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:37.599
substantial impact on a workplace, on
the company you work for, in a

479
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:43.480
negative way, then you can get
away with infringing on somebody's religious beliefs.

480
00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:47.319
But in this case, it's not
going to take the company down just by

481
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:53.279
whether or not. This guy delivers
packages from Amazon on Sundays. I mean,

482
00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:57.480
if you were a Rastafarian and you
said, you know, smoking Dopez

483
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:01.279
is a sacrament, and so I
want to do it. The courts are

484
00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:05.759
going to say, sorry, you
can't get away with that. But just

485
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:10.119
not delivering packages, that was okay, royal in classic anchor fashion. I'm

486
00:33:10.119 --> 00:33:14.599
gonna throw you a quick curveball.
Can you remember anything recent when it's nine

487
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:16.200
to nothing as far as the ruling
goes, it could be mundane. I

488
00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:20.559
just it's hard to I mean,
you're right that that fact alone stands out,

489
00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:23.000
not just the ruling, but nine
to zero. Yeah. You know,

490
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:27.680
there were a couple of them earlier
this year, and unfortunately they're not

491
00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:30.839
popping into my head. But when
it happens, it's so shocking because they're

492
00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:37.400
so diametrically opposed. For example,
of Justice Jackson and Justice Thomas in yesterday's

493
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:44.759
affirmative action decision, both black justices
absolutely totally different viewpoints. Thomas says that

494
00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:49.079
affirmative action is just a worthless program, whereas Jackson says, you know what,

495
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:52.359
this is not a colorblind society.
It never has been. So we've

496
00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:58.240
got to make up for past discrimination, but so it's very unusual when all

497
00:33:58.319 --> 00:34:00.640
nine of the justices agree on any
Thank you for that, Royal, I

498
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:02.680
appreciate it. Always good to speak
with you. Hope you have a great

499
00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:08.079
weekend too, do two thanks ABC's
legal analyst Royal Oaks. There. Let's

500
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:10.360
get back to a couple of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four

501
00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:14.199
hour news room, and then we're
gonna finish up with our whip around as

502
00:34:14.199 --> 00:34:16.519
to what people might be binging over
the weekend. People over sixty can get

503
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:22.079
a new RSV vaccine this fall,
but health officials recommend talking to your doctor

504
00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:27.199
first. The CDC initially considered a
stronger recommendation that everyone sixty five and older

505
00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:30.079
get this shot, but loosened up
when members had questions about how well it

506
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:36.159
works in feeble adults and how much
it will cost. Drugmaker GSK says its

507
00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:39.039
vacs will cost two hundred to two
hundred and ninety five dollars, but we'll

508
00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:44.199
hold up for multiple seasons, and
Fiser hasn't yet set a price. The

509
00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:50.280
San Diego Zoo Safari Park has welcomed
a baby Shovalski's horse, sometimes called the

510
00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:53.960
Last Wild Horse. The species was
considered extinct until nineteen ninety six. Still

511
00:34:54.000 --> 00:35:00.480
critically endangered, it has survived for
forty years almost exclusively in zoos. Conservation

512
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:04.199
groups have recently worked to reintroduce them
to their native habitats. So now there's

513
00:35:04.199 --> 00:35:07.280
a few herds in China and Mongolia. And I like to thank the writer

514
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:09.679
for not having me say Schavolski's more
than a couple of times in that story.

515
00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:15.320
Apple is on the brink of hitting
a market value of three trillion dollars

516
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:20.119
in what would be a first for
any company globally. Right now, in

517
00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:24.199
pre market training, Apple shares are
around one hundred and ninety dollars and eighty

518
00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:28.800
cents per share, which would bring
its year to date gain to forty six

519
00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:32.840
percent share price gain. Apple is
also viewed as a safe haven stock given

520
00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:37.320
its durable revenue streams and its massive
user base around the world. Now remember

521
00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:42.320
the purchase of individual stocks does come
with the risk of loss. In its

522
00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:46.440
third estimate of GDP, the Department
of Commerce reported that US economic growth expanded

523
00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:51.199
by two percent year on year in
the first three months of twenty twenty three.

524
00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:54.440
That's revised from its previous estimate of
one point three percent, and it

525
00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:59.639
exceeds expectations of one point four percent, so it was rounded up by more

526
00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:02.440
than half a percent. And you're
talking about the American economy, the biggest

527
00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:07.360
in the world. That's not a
small change. And the change does reflect

528
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:13.679
upward revisions to exports consumer spending as
well. See the one trillion dollars combined

529
00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:16.440
credit card debt we have as a
country right now, all set also by

530
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:22.159
downward projections of non residential fixed investment
and some government spending that is expected to

531
00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:25.679
drop. I did ask Aaron,
who is the news editor, this morning.

532
00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:29.400
She's working remotely so she doesn't have
a mic in front of her,

533
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:30.760
but I asked her what she was
going to be doing over the weekend,

534
00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:35.119
and she said that she actually gets
out and likes to do stuff. There's

535
00:36:35.159 --> 00:36:37.880
an insanely decept from shot I'm thirketball
that's becoming more popular, so I got

536
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:42.039
my friend Gabriel Tardiot to show us
how it's done. Basically, you just,

537
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:46.119
okay, I just pulled that pickleball
clip from TikTok just because it's really

538
00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:49.920
funny. Now, I'm not saying
that Aaron plays dirty pickleball, and since

539
00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:52.559
she doesn't have a mic, she
can't defend herself anyway, So saying I'm

540
00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:55.679
glad, I'm glad that she even
though she might be in an air quality

541
00:36:55.719 --> 00:36:59.800
issue kind of place, I do
think that it's awesome that she's going to

542
00:36:59.880 --> 00:37:00.559
get out there and do that.
Now, for me, I'm going to

543
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:07.840
be sitting on the couch. You
want to seek out new life, go

544
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:12.559
where the aliens are. Your presence
is blasphemy. Let's talk about this.

545
00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:15.800
Find some company. I think that
went well. This new Star Trek looks

546
00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:19.519
really fun on Paramount Plus. And
yeah, I'm going to be nerding out

547
00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:22.599
with some science fiction. We lead
local live from the KFI twenty four hour

548
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:24.960
newsroom. I'm Jason Middleton. This
has been your wake up call. You've
