WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.839 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:10.279 demand on the iHeartRadio app. Boy, what a difference of day makes? 3 00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:16.039 Huh? Yesterday driving in it was torrential downpours, and this morning it was 4 00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:20.640 smooth sailing and I saw the moon. So I was like, oh nice, 5 00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:25.440 And it looks like the rain that we're expected to get again at the 6 00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:28.000 end of the weekend being pushed back a little bit more, might not even 7 00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:32.200 get it, but they're expecting rain again on Monday. Hey, if you 8 00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:37.200 were listening earlier this week, I interviewed the author of the Dream Dictionary, 9 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:41.159 a disease. She has this whole book on how to decipher your dreams and 10 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:47.399 what they mean. So I've been paying attention or trying to. So here's 11 00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.719 my dream from last night. And if you guys, you know, right 12 00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.320 when you wake up, write down your dreams and then go back and look 13 00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:56.840 at them later. You go go, God, that was weird. And 14 00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.280 if you don't write it down, you're probably gonna forget it. But we 15 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:04.480 were flying in a plane and it was flying really low and I was asking 16 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.319 the pilot, I'm like, don't you think we need to get some more 17 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.760 altitude. Like we were literally just like skimming the ocean, like one hundred 18 00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:17.599 feet or less over waters. And then the pilot was taking us over waterfalls 19 00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:19.519 and she'd go, oh, look, isn't that cool? And I kept 20 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.599 saying, shouldn't we gain a little altitude? Don't you think that's a good 21 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.719 idea. At some point the tail hit something, but we were fine. 22 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:32.400 Weird, weird dream And then there was a crazy lady who was screaming, 23 00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:36.000 but we took care of her. Maybe that's because of all the weird stuff 24 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.920 that's been going on on planes. I don't know anyway, dreams, weird 25 00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:44.480 stuff. But here's what we're finding in the wake up world on wake Up 26 00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:49.079 Call Seale service is out to thousands of customers across the US. It's mostly 27 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.239 affecting AT and T, but we're also getting reports at Cricket, Wireless, 28 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.799 Verizon and T Mobile or having out it. Just almost seventy five thousand are 29 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.640 affected. Service went down early this morning in cities including LA Chicago, Houston, 30 00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:06.560 and Honolulu, and there are reports that some nine one one service has 31 00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.879 been interrupted as well. The La Metro Board of Directors is going to consider 32 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:15.479 approving the Environmental Impact Report for the controversial Dodger Stadium Gondola project. The three 33 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:22.240 hundred million dollar private project was proposed by ex Dodgers owner Frank McCort. The 34 00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:27.120 one point two mile aerial tram would take people from Union Station downtown to the 35 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.960 Dodger Stadium parking lot, which McCourt still owns. Beyonce has become the first 36 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:36.759 black woman to score a number one hit on the Billboard Country charts. Her 37 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:42.560 hit Texas Hold'em, debuted at number one on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart yesterday. 38 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.639 She's now the first woman to have topped both the country and the R 39 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:53.639 and B hip Hop charts. President Biden's considering an executive order for the US 40 00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:58.240 Mexico border. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the 41 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.199 KFI twenty four hour news room. A civil engineer says LA's infrastructure handled the 42 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:07.000 recent heavy rains pretty well, but maintaining the infrastructure before and during the storm 43 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.840 is key. We really need to be on our game, so to speak, 44 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:14.719 all hours of the night while it's raining to make sure that none of 45 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:20.439 these outlets, none of these catch basins get clage. On Abelson's with Stantech 46 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.520 in Pasadena and says while the entire system did handle the massive amounts of wastewater, 47 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:27.960 the system is still antiquated. Abelson says he'd like to see a more 48 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.919 green and eco friendly approach to drainage. Steve Gregory, King of Fine News, 49 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:35.199 a man for Minnesota has been arrested for the murder of a model in 50 00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:39.479 downtown LA. Police say Melissa Mooney was beaten, bound and stuffed inside her 51 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:45.360 refrigerator back in September. They say the accused killers on probation for federal drug 52 00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:49.960 offenses. He was taken into custody at his home on an unrelated federal warrant 53 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:53.759 and has agreed to be returned to LA. A two year old girl allegedly 54 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:59.159 kidnapped by her mother in Garden Grove has been found safe at a bus station 55 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.680 in Palm's It Brings. Polie say the girl was taken yesterday during a supervised 56 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:08.759 visit with a social worker. They say a man pepper sprayed the social worker 57 00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.479 at the Chuck E Cheese, then he and the mom took off with the 58 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.719 girl. That triggered an Amber alert. The three were found about three hours 59 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.439 later. La Kenny Sheriff's investigators in Lancaster trying to figure out what caused the 60 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:23.279 death of a three year old boy. The child was found bleeding and not 61 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:28.279 breathing Tuesday night. There are reports he had cuts and abrasions. Investigators say 62 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.199 the mother's live in boyfriend was also taken to the hospital because he tried to 63 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:35.199 kill himself. He is considered a person of interest, but no arrests have 64 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:41.600 been made. House Republicans have moved forward with their impeachment investigation into President Biden 65 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.560 by interviewing his brother, James Old, despite the fact Alexander Smirnoff, the 66 00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.240 man who made claims key to their probe, has been charged with lying to 67 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:54.079 the FBI when he said President Biden was connected to his son's overseas business dealings. 68 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:01.000 Biden aby C's j O'Brien says. Democrats argue they haven't heard anything indicating 69 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:05.240 Biden had anything to do with the business ventures of brother or his son Hunter. 70 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:11.240 James Biden says the President was never involved in any of his financial deals. 71 00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.199 Bed Bugs have been found crawling around in some big name hotels in Las 72 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.639 Vegas, gross at least four people staying at the Encore, the Venetian, 73 00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:24.079 the Excalibur and The Mirage have reported finding the bugs in their rooms between September 74 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:28.199 and January. The Nevada Resort Association says four rooms out of about one hundred 75 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:30.439 and fifty five thousand and the city shows it is still very rare. The 76 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:36.560 group says when hotels encounter bed bugs, guests are relocated and exterminators are called, 77 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:43.639 that's reassuring. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jim Ryan. Jim 78 00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:48.120 tell us how much are we making in the US on average? We're doing 79 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.839 okay, We're doing better than they were a couple of years ago. National 80 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:56.759 average income in the last quart of last year was fifty nine three hundred and 81 00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.160 eighty four dollars. That's across everybody, all in levels, all races, 82 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:04.839 genders, every state, it all balls up together. And the Census Bureau 83 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:10.399 says we're making fifty nine three hundred and eighty four dollars on average amien. 84 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.800 That's up in the last year, and in fact the rate of increase. 85 00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.519 The average salary grew by nearly five and a half percent, a gain of 86 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:23.720 three point two percent though in the Consumer Price Index, so salaries at least 87 00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:29.079 in the fourth quarter of last year, we're outpacing inflation. Oh so technically 88 00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:32.079 we're making five percent, but it's only two percent because inflation is at three 89 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.800 percent. Yeah, but still I did the math there. That's pretty impressive, 90 00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:40.560 right, pretty good, bitter and most radio folks could manage it better 91 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.439 if I could do. But yeah, so, I mean the key takeaway 92 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.279 though, is that, yeah, well you might as well reduce it by 93 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.120 that much, by three point two percent, it's still keeping up in a 94 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:54.040 little ahead of inflation. When you get the other direction, when you get 95 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:58.399 to the opposite, with inflation outpacing salaries, then you see an economy and 96 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:02.720 major problems. Well that's not happy news. Who's doing the best, Jim 97 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:06.800 who? Yeah, Well, let's see, folks in Massachusetts are doing the 98 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:11.120 best. I guess if you had to categorize, put the person, it's 99 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:17.920 a cardiologist living in Massachusetts. Cardiologists who live in Massachusetts are doing the best. 100 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:23.759 White males are oh, white male cardiologists in Massachusetts. Okay, And 101 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:28.519 I mean if you look across all the categories, all the occupations, medical 102 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:32.360 occupations do the best. Cardiologists do the best out of all you know, 103 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:38.279 on the average doctor living in Massachusetts, you make the more most of any 104 00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:41.759 state in the country. And if you're a man, you're making about ten 105 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:46.079 thousand bucks a year more than the cpparable woman in terms of education. You 106 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.920 know, is that getting any better than the gender gap? It is. 107 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:55.399 It's not obviously that it's not a one for one kind of thing. Still 108 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:59.720 isn't. But and it has shrunk by about one percent over the last ten 109 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.399 years years. That sounds very much not much, no, but still the 110 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.120 average male earning or the average male gets sixty three, nine hundred and sixty 111 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:13.720 dollars. That's about ten thousand dollars per more per year more than his female 112 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.160 counterpart with a similar, similar occupation and similar education level. Okay, and 113 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:22.079 then according to all these numbers, because I'm sure they broke it down every 114 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:28.879 which way, what when's your prime earning time age wise? Yeah, well, 115 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.080 when you are kind of a middle aged earner thirty five to forty four, 116 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.919 When you're between thirty five and forty four years old, you're making on 117 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.679 average about thirteen point eight percent more than the national average. The lowest paid 118 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:45.720 group, as you can imagine, are the youngest workers, the sixteen to 119 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:50.120 twenty four year olds. But surprisingly, once you hit forty five, your 120 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.639 income on average starts to drop off somewhat average forty five. Really yeah, 121 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.120 oh see, I thought it. I thought like the prime earning years were 122 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.679 up until you were about fifty five. No. Not. According to Census 123 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.919 Bureau, thirty five to forty four are your prime earning years, and then 124 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.960 between forty five and sixty five you start to see a decline about eight percent 125 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:16.200 less than the national average. Okay, and does do all these studies predict 126 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:22.159 that incomes are expected to continue to increase as the salary or as the job 127 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.279 market stays tight or are they just reporting numbers and now they just look at 128 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:30.399 the numbers for the for Q four of last year. So no predictions, 129 00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:35.240 no estimates, no expectations or a crystal ball about what might happen next. 130 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.919 But folks in California should be pretty happy. I mean, yes, the 131 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:41.960 cost of most things is higher than in the rest of the country, but 132 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.360 yeah, rich, salary high. Yeah, my brother lives in San Francisco 133 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.559 and oh gosh, that's even higher than here. Right. Eighty four four 134 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:56.840 hundred and forty eight dollars is the average salary in California. Surprisingly, Washington 135 00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:01.039 State has a slightly higher. Course, it's kind of weighted up by a 136 00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:05.519 lot of all the tech firms up there in the Pacific Northwest. But eighty 137 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.240 five thousand, seven forty eight in Washington State, and where Massachusetts has the 138 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.679 highest average income, right, Massachusetts, Yeah, what's it there? That's 139 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:18.440 consistently about what you can expect. Eighty six thousand, eight hundred and forty 140 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:22.159 So there are a couple of thousand dollars per year higher than you folks in 141 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:31.360 California, okay. And who makes the least minutes rather Mississippi. Mississippi's average 142 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:33.799 is forty eight thousand and forty eight. That's way below the national average. 143 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.679 And that that whole southern strip there in the Deep South there see some of 144 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.960 the lowest incomes in the whole country. Alabama's is down there. Georgia does 145 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.240 a bit better, and then Florida does. Okay, but yeah, that 146 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:52.399 whole the Mississippi, the Arkansas, Louisiana, they're all consistently near the bottom. 147 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.399 The cost of living is so much lower, so probably that compensates for 148 00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:58.120 it too well. Yeah, still, okay, so we want to be 149 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:03.120 a eight male cardiologist in Massachusetts. Ill, Yeah, that in mind, 150 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.200 if you can arrange that, if you can make that possible. Good luck. 151 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.600 All right, thank you, Jim, I appreciate it. Jem. 152 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:13.879 All right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the 153 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:18.679 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Jurors in Van Nuys can choose manslaughter or murder 154 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.320 if they reach a verdict to convict Rebecca Grossman. Prosecutor cited a speeding ticket 155 00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:28.679 as proof Grossman knew speeding could kill seven years before she allegedly killed two children 156 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.879 in a crosswalk in Westlake Village in twenty twenty. The prosecution said during closing 157 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:37.720 arguments yesterday that ticket and some text messages from Grossman are proof of the implied 158 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.159 malice necessary for a murder conviction. The defense asked jurors, where is the 159 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:46.120 other driver who Grossman's lawyers alleged hit the kids first? And why was his 160 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.799 car never investigated? The defense says that should be all jurors need for reasonable 161 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:54.679 doubt. At Vanni's Courthouse, Corbin Carson KFI News jury deliberations are expected to 162 00:11:54.679 --> 00:12:00.399 start today when closing arguments are complete. Lawyers for former president and Trump have 163 00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.600 asked for a delay of enforcement. In New York on the three hundred and 164 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.279 fifty five million dollar judgment in his civil fraud trial. The verdict this week 165 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:09.840 gives Trump a month to pay the penalty.

Firefighters a couple hours to dig him out of the mud. 190 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.279 And then hoist him up. Yesterday afternoon, Lucky was not injured. At 191 00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:09.279 six oh five, it's handle on the news. The head of the seven 192 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:15.399 thirty seven Max program is out. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Karen 193 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.279 Travers. So, Karen, one hundred and fifty three thousand people got an 194 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.399 email from the President. What did it say. Yeah, yesterday, one 195 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.039 hundred and fifty three thousand Americans got word that all or a portion of their 196 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:30.879 student debt has been relieved. The administration says the total number of Americans approved 197 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:35.000 for some kind of student debt relief is now nearly three point nine million people. 198 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.600 Now, the people who got that word yesterday hand have been enrolled in 199 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.440 the President's student loan payment man called the Save Plan. This is something they 200 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:46.039 rolled out last summer. There's about seven and a half million people enrolled in 201 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.000 that. There are many more who qualify, so look it up and see 202 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:52.200 if you can get into that. And those people who got that relief yesterday 203 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.840 started with an original balance of less than twelve thousand dollars in their student debt, 204 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.000 and they've been paying down their loans for a debt decade or longer. 205 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:03.960 So the White House says that this is just the first round of borrowers to 206 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:09.240 benefit from this aspect of the Save Plan, and moving forward, anyone else 207 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:11.960 who enrolls in that plan and meets the criteria can also get debt relief. 208 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.120 Don't have a timeline on when that next round will come and how many people 209 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.759 it'll apply to, but they say it will be coming. And Karen the 210 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:26.720 Supreme Court said that he couldn't just do this blanket student loan debt forgiveness. 211 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:28.240 So how are they doing it? Yeah, you know, he couldn't do 212 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:35.399 that big sweeping student debt relief for millions of Americans ten to twenty thousand for 213 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:39.039 most people, even more for others who were pelgrant recipients. That was struck 214 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.600 down last year by the Supreme Court. So they've been doing this in a 215 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:50.200 piecemeal approach through different methods, and this so far has been working for them. 216 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:54.320 Again, this is part of a payment plan. So you enroll as 217 00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.840 a federal student debt holder, you had federal student loans, you enroll in 218 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:03.399 the payment plan called the Safe Plan. Can go online and look it up, 219 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.000 and then when the administration goes through and sees how you started with your 220 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:12.159 original balance how many payments you've been making over the course of a decade consistently. 221 00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:17.000 Then they're determining if you're eligible for some relief. Now, the balances 222 00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:22.600 on a lot of these accounts are probably pretty low, given that you started 223 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:26.080 with less than twelve thousand and you've been paying them for a decade or more. 224 00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:30.039 But still it's clearing it out for so many people, which the President 225 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.720 said yesterday is significant. It's not just helping these individuals and their families, 226 00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.440 he says, it's helping the broader economy because these people then can now make 227 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.480 different financial decisions, buy a house, maybe start a business, make other 228 00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:45.720 choices for their community that can help the broader economy. Okay, and then 229 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:48.159 I know that you have to run, but real quick. When it comes 230 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:52.720 to immigration, Yeah, he said just last week or a week before, 231 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:56.600 I can't do anything. Congress has to do it. And now he's saying, 232 00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:59.679 maybe I'm going to do an executive order. They're going to try. 233 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:02.480 That's what we're told that he's looking at a wide range of options. No 234 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:07.319 final decision has been made, but considering taking executive action that could possibly bar 235 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:11.640 migrants from seeking asylum if they cross illegally between US ports of entry. Now, 236 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:15.119 the White House still says to us today they want Congress to act that 237 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:18.200 that's the best way to do it, the best way to have policy reforms 238 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:22.279 and resources at the border. But they're looking to take potential action where they 239 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:26.599 can. This will likely face legal challenges, as anything and a president does 240 00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:30.640 with executive action when it comes to border and immigration policy. But this shows 241 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:36.160 that they're trying to do something on an issue that Americans say is a big 242 00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:38.279 priority for them. Okay, avc's Karen Travers, thank you so much, 243 00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:41.559 have a great day. Thanks. All right, let's get back to some 244 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:44.519 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

Police say it happened Monday near Crystal Cove, but it's not 247 00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:56.839 clear what provoked the assault.

The 259 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:49.519 discrepancy in number stems from the Mayor's office request to continue rolling individuals at the 260 00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:53.720 La Grant with the stated intent that the Mayor's office would be responsible for connecting 261 00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:59.559 additional people to other resources.

At six oh 293 00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:25.960 five, it's handle on the news President Biden's considering an executive order to deal 294 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:30.279 with the border. See how I rhyme that. At five point fifty, 295 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.799 we're going to get an update on King Charles the Third from ABC's Tom Rivers, 296 00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:37.519 who is in London right now. You know, I like to talk 297 00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.559 to people who give away money, and that's why we're talking to the executive 298 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.920 director of the Music Forward Foundation, Narite Smith. Good morning, Narite, 299 00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:49.839 Thank you so much for having me. And I think this is a perfect 300 00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:55.640 match because I love giving away money. Oh that's perfect, and so tell 301 00:21:55.720 --> 00:22:00.359 us Narit what you have and who the money is going to and how they 302 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:07.480 get it right. So we're the Music Forward Foundation celebrating thirty one years of 303 00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:15.160 empowering the next generation and making the music industry and live entertainment available and accessible 304 00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:19.519 to all. And we do this a number of ways, including through these 305 00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:26.279 scholarships. We're looking for college students who have a passion for music and lives 306 00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:32.960 and need that extra help to pull them through their education. This is for 307 00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:37.079 existing college students who are saying, you know what the music industries that's where 308 00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:41.599 I want to go and I need a helping hand exactly. We give them 309 00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:47.920 to juniors and seniors rising juniors and seniors. So this is not to enter 310 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:52.839 college, but this is to help you continue and drive you through to that 311 00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:56.599 completion point. Okay, and Nari I thought this was really fascinating as I 312 00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:00.240 was looking at what the scholarships are because there's five ten thousand dollars all the 313 00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:03.920 ships. But they're not just for like a person who plays music and wants 314 00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:07.119 to be an artist, because the music industry is so much bigger than that. 315 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:11.400 So can you tell me really quickly about the Stephen J. Finkel Service 316 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:17.799 Excellent Scholarship and who's that one is for? So the Stephen J. Finkel 317 00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:29.160 is named after someone who has was really instrumental in the concerts world, right, 318 00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:33.640 and so we're really looking for someone who is interested in that customer service 319 00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:40.960 experience, that understands that fan experience. So the hundreds of thousands of audience 320 00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:45.559 members that come into venues, how do we make that experience more accessible, 321 00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:56.480 easier for them and engaging? And so that is someone who wants to go 322 00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:03.079 into live and really excite about that audience fan experience. Okay. And then 323 00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:08.759 you have another one that's designed specifically to support women who want to get into 324 00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:14.279 a career in live entertainment exactly. You know, this is a very young 325 00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:19.319 industry, and it's a lot of guys that just learned on the job and 326 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:26.319 has been driving and building this spectacular, multi billion dollar industry. We want 327 00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:33.240 to make sure that this industry is also available to young women, okaight. 328 00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:40.160 And so this is dedicated specifically for a young woman who is looking at operations 329 00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:45.920 production and music engineering and other related fields that align with music and lives. 330 00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:49.759 Okay. And then there's another one, and I love this one because this 331 00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:57.920 one is specifically for someone who has already overcome some just huge obstacles because they've 332 00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:03.519 either had been homeless or been in the foster care system. So think about 333 00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:07.319 how much they've already had to overcome to get into college. Exactly. This 334 00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:12.279 is a partnership with an amazing nonprofit called Inherit the Music, and we've been 335 00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:19.240 running this scholarship for the last five years. And you know, with college 336 00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:29.119 costs continuing to increase, a lot of young people are often forced to cut 337 00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:34.599 basic needs expenses food and housing, and so this not only reaches some of 338 00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:41.920 our most vulnerable young people who are trying to achieve more in their lives, 339 00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:48.559 but it really helps to cut the cost of education down. And you know, 340 00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:53.119 I mean when you look at most scholarships range around twenty five hundred. 341 00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:57.960 With these ten thousand dollars scholarships, we're really saying we believe in you. 342 00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:02.400 Yeah. I love it, and I love that. This is like it's 343 00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:06.160 not a handout, it's a hand up and I like that. Yeah. 344 00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:08.160 Okay, And you know, these scholarships that we've been telling you about are 345 00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:11.599 just kind of the tip of the iceberg. For the Music Forward Foundation, 346 00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:17.319 who I was just reading this narate to date has provided more than forty two 347 00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:22.599 million dollars in scholarships. That's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. We want to 348 00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:29.680 continuously transform young wives, inspire careers, and chapion a much more inclusive music 349 00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:33.359 industry, and with these scholarships, we hope to make that a reality. 350 00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:36.960 Okay, So if this sounds like something that is interesting to you or to 351 00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:40.039 your kids and you want to take advantage of it, you have until March 352 00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:44.119 thirty first, and Nouri where can they find out all the information and applications 353 00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:51.279 and all that stuff. Music Forward Foundation dot org. Okay, music affects 354 00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:53.799 all of our lives in such a wonderful way, So I love that you're 355 00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:57.519 looking to the next generation. Nari Smith, thank you so much for your 356 00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:00.599 time. Thank you, and that's the love to all the applicants. Yes, 357 00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:07.279 yes, why thanks Narita, appreciate it. The Musicforward Foundation dot org 358 00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:12.680 five ten thousand scholarships are available if you're interested in have a passion for music. 359 00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:15.480 Love that. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of 360 00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:21.799 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Metro's Board of directors is set to consider 361 00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:26.400 the environmental impact report for a gondola project that would take baseball fans to Dodger 362 00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:30.640 Stadium. The board's also expected to consider emotion today, establishing an agreement that's 363 00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:37.359 intended to address the concerns of the communities that would be impacted before any construction 364 00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:41.440 starts. The three hundred million dollars private project would create a one point two 365 00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:45.759 mile system to connect Union Station and the stadium. The project also needs approval 366 00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:52.640 from the city and several state agencies. A former LAPED officers facing several charges 367 00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.599 for allegedly stealing credit and debit cards from people who were visiting inmates at a 368 00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:02.359 detention center in downtown La Qa. DA's office has the officers charged with three 369 00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:06.880 felonies and a misdemeanor count of unlawful use of credit cards. He's facing up 370 00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:11.559 to five years and four months in prison if convicted. Officials say California should 371 00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:17.839 make cuts to temporary and one time spending to close the state's growing budget deficits. 372 00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:22.960 The Legislative Analysts Office says California can save around sixteen billion dollars with the 373 00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.960 cutbacks. California Senate Budget Committee Vice Chair Roger Nilo says he thinks the state 374 00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:30.880 should pause on offering health care to illegal immigrants. The Governor's not going to 375 00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:37.279 remove it. I'm a realist, but to delay it to our years when 376 00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:41.000 revenues start to recover, I think would make good fiscal sense. The Legislative 377 00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:47.319 Analyst Office is projecting a seventy three billion dollars shortfall through June of twenty twenty 378 00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:51.119 five. Blake Trolly k if I News. Police in China have opened an 379 00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:56.440 investigation into an unauthorized dump of documents from a private security contractor linked to the 380 00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:02.519 country's top policing Agency and other parts of its government. The documents from i 381 00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:07.200 SOON reveal apparent hacking activity and tools despite both the Chinese and foreigners. Targets 382 00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:14.240 include ethnicities and dissidents in parts of China that have been have seen significant anti 383 00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:18.559 government protests. I SOON has ties to the Ministry of Public Security. Vandals 384 00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:23.000 have damaged a monument to doctor Martin Luther King Junior in Denver. Doctor Vern 385 00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:26.880 Howard, who helped create the monument in two thousand and one, saw the 386 00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:32.200 damage yesterday in Denver's City Park and said, it's sad out of the project 387 00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:38.079 manager and this was like attacking one of my children. A three pound bronze 388 00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:44.160 panel that depicted Black War heroes was removed from the monument, so were two 389 00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:48.960 decorative emblems on the side. Howard says it had to be a coordinated effort 390 00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:52.680 and it's obvious that tools were used. Florida Governor Ronda Santis is he supports 391 00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:57.079 term limits for members of Congress. This is something that the people in the 392 00:29:57.200 --> 00:30:03.440 states have the ability. The proposed changes to discipline Washington, the founding father 393 00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.559 structure of the constitution like that for a reason. DeSantis was in Indiana and 394 00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:11.519 South Carolina this week pushing for the change. He says term limits are supported 395 00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:15.440 by most Americans, and it's time to make it happen. It rained so 396 00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:19.839 much in Death Valley. How much did it rain? Well? It rains 397 00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:25.079 so much that the bad Water Basin and Death Valley now has enough rain water 398 00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:30.519 in it that visitors can go kayaking on a temporary lake. It's called Lake 399 00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:36.160 Manly. It's about six miles long, three miles wide, and just one 400 00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:41.559 foot deep. Visitors must be t oka bring their own kayak now once the 401 00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:45.519 water dries up. Are we going to get another super bloom from all of 402 00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:52.000 this rain that we've received? Park officials say the potential for the wildfire wildfire 403 00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:56.279 the wildflower super bloom is uncertain. I guess we're just going to have to 404 00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:00.359 wait and see. But man, they're spectacular. Listening to Wake Up Call 405 00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:04.640 on demand from KFI AM six forty, good Thursday morning to you, I'm 406 00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:08.119 Amy King Boy. The hour just went by so fast. Again. If 407 00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:11.200 you missed any of wake Up Call, you can always go back and listen 408 00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:15.400 on an iHeartRadio app any old time you want. Here's what we're following in 409 00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:21.240 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom the head of Boeing's seven thirty seven Max program, 410 00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:25.279 is out ed. Clark had been with Boeing for nearly two decades. 411 00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:30.160 The seven thirty seven to nine Max fleet was grounded last month after a door 412 00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:33.720 plug blew out on an Alaska flight. Several other issues have been found since 413 00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:40.319 then, including loose and missing bolts on several planes. The boyfriend of the 414 00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:44.160 mother of a three year old boy who was found unresponsive in a homean Landcaster 415 00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:48.799 and later died, has been named a person of interest in the boy's death. 416 00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:52.079 The boyfriend apparently tried to kill himself. He's in the hospital. No 417 00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:59.759 arrests have yet been made. California's nut industry is under attack by invasive almond 418 00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:05.119 by the Beatles, apparently bore holes into developing nuts and then eat the kernels 419 00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:08.680 out inside. In a letter to the Department of Agriculture, Central Valley Congressman 420 00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:15.279 Josh Harder requested emergency funding to fight the little bugs, which he says are 421 00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:22.440 a major economic threat. California's almond and pistachio crop worth six point three billion 422 00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:29.279 dollars in twenty twenty two. We're just minutes away from handle. On the 423 00:32:29.319 --> 00:32:32.720 news this morning, cell phone service is out to about seventy five thousand AT 424 00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:37.759 and T Cricket, wireless, Verizon and T Mobile customers across the US. 425 00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:43.160 The carriers have not said why. Let's get back to some of the stories 426 00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:47.599 coming from the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Ballots in La County will be 427 00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:52.440 counted and processed at a single location this March. The one hundred and forty 428 00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:58.759 four thousand square foot warehouse in the city of Industry has eliminated the need to 429 00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:05.319 transport ballots to several different sites. Officials say the warehouse as live streaming capabilities 430 00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:09.680 to increase election integrity. When mail in voting was first expanded during the pandemic, 431 00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:15.480 ballots were processed at the Pomona County Fairgrounds, counted at an office in 432 00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:20.319 Downey, and then stored at a center in Santa Fe Springs. The La 433 00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:24.240 Kenny Sheriff's Department says it would like access to people's home security cameras. The 434 00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:29.079 request is part of a new program where homeowners would register their cameras through the 435 00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:32.759 department's website. Doing so would allow investigators to see where cameras are located to 436 00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:37.880 help solve crimes or assess the situation in real time. The department would not 437 00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:39.880 have live access, but if you wanted to go the extra mile, you 438 00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:44.480 could buy an adapter for around three hundred and fifty dollars from a private company 439 00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:47.839 that would allow investigators to see your camera's live feed. Officials say they're interested 440 00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:52.359 in areas like Calabasas at Goura Hills and Malibu. Steve Gregory KAA FINOS. 441 00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:59.640 Closing arguments have ramped up in the murder trial of Rebecca Grossman, who's charged 442 00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:04.079 with killing two kids in a crosswalk in Westlake Village. The fence lawyers told 443 00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:07.719 jurors investigators never bothered to investigate the six other cars that went through the intersection 444 00:34:07.840 --> 00:34:12.679 with Grossman that night in twenty twenty, including the suv they say hit the 445 00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:15.960 boys first. Grossman's lawyers say that's enough reasonable doubt for a not guilty verdict. 446 00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:22.199 Prosecutors say eight witnesses a boy's body imprinted by Grossman's SUV, only pieces 447 00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:25.039 of that SUV at the scene, SUV data alleging she hit eighty one miles 448 00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:29.519 an hour, and a prior speeding ticket where Grossman was warned speeding could kill. 449 00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:32.239 Prosecutor say that's plenty of evidence to find Grossman guilty of murder. At 450 00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:37.920 van I's Courthouse, Corbin Carson kaf I News, jury deliberations are expected to 451 00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:43.880 start today when closing arguments are complete. A civil engineer based in Pasadena s's 452 00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:47.079 the water drainage infrastructure in the LA area did what it was designed to do 453 00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:52.920 during recent storms. The overall flood control system is in relatively good capacity. 454 00:34:53.000 --> 00:35:00.079 It's working well. John Abelson with Stantec says while the system is pretty robust, 455 00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:01.679 it's still pretty old. He says, when it's time to upgrade the 456 00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:07.519 infrastructure, he'd like to see a more eco friendly approach to drainage. A 457 00:35:07.559 --> 00:35:12.400 plan to move the homeless from the La Grand Hotel to the Mayfair is moving 458 00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:17.480 forward. Miguel Fernandez with the La Homeless Services Authority says LASA will continue to 459 00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:21.719 submit bi weekly reports to the city Council to make sure the public can track 460 00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:28.159 its progress. The report will include remaining participants, housing resources offered, planned 461 00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:34.320 exit exit outcomes, and pertinent data. He says they're trying to move about 462 00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:37.719 three hundred people starting May first. The city has extended the lease through July 463 00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:43.519 thirty first, Hey have you ever been to Colorado, and well, if 464 00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:46.599 you've been to Colorado, you haven't gotten a Bucki's. But apparently BUCkies is 465 00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:52.880 a huge station convenience store combo, and it's in other areas of the country. 466 00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:55.639 I don't think we have them here, but Colorado is getting their first 467 00:35:55.679 --> 00:36:00.639 one. It's at the twenty five and County Road forty. It's going to 468 00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:05.760 have a grand opening next month. Operations District manager Michael Buie says it's going 469 00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:09.159 to be the premier destination stop in Johnstown. You go down the highway, 470 00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:13.440 you see this big old Bucky's logo and it feels like it's an oasis. 471 00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:17.000 You families appreciated, clean facility, an you know, we've added on to 472 00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:22.800 that. We've added some amazing food offerings. We have a cult following. 473 00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:25.039 It's like a modern day rest stop. Right. Bucky's stores are known for 474 00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:28.760 their size. The Colorado location is going to be the biggest one yet, 475 00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:34.159 seventy five thousand square feet. They're hiring more than two hundred workers. China 476 00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:37.559 has plans to send a new pair of giant pandas to the San Diego Zoo, 477 00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:43.239 renewing its long standing gesture of friendship towards the US. Nearly all of 478 00:36:43.280 --> 00:36:47.039 the pandas on loan to US zoo's were returned years ago as tensions grew between 479 00:36:47.119 --> 00:36:52.239 the two countries. San Diego Zoo officials say if all the permits and other 480 00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:57.519 requirements are approved, the bears could arrive at the San Diego Zoo as early 481 00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:02.239 as the end of this summer. Hey, remember two dollar bills. I 482 00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:07.800 haven't seen one in years, But if you have one lying around and you're 483 00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:12.400 probably not going to spend it, it could be worth five thousand dollars to 484 00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:17.480 you. So US currency auctions say that uncirculated two dollar bills from back in 485 00:37:17.559 --> 00:37:23.239 eighteen ninety could sell up for two about forty five hundred, and then other 486 00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:30.239 old uncirculated bills are worth like one thousand dollars. But newer bills have a 487 00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:32.679 lot of value. And remember when they started reprinting them again, I think 488 00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:37.519 the early two thousands. A two dollars bill printed in two thousand and three 489 00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:44.920 recently sold at auction for twenty four hundred dollars. Interesting, I don't have 490 00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:49.960 any two dollar bills. Did you know your coworkers can help you lose weight? 491 00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:53.559 It's true. They can also hinder. You have you ever worked at 492 00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:57.599 a place. We go in spurts here at the radio station, but you 493 00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:00.400 go and you know, everybody's eating healthy food, and then somebody starts bringing 494 00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:04.960 in stuff, and then there's like donuts, and then there's cupcakes another day, 495 00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:09.360 and somebody else brings something else sweet. Not helping, but apparently it 496 00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:16.039 turns out workers are more likely to eat fruit and vegetables and then exercise when 497 00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:22.079 their colleagues encourage them to do so. Coworkers have the potential to contribute to 498 00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:27.440 creating a culture of health within the workplace. Instead of opting for pizza every 499 00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:30.880 Friday, I still prefer pizza every Friday, but I think that's true. 500 00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:35.000 It's the people around you. It's like at home, if your a boyfriend 501 00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:38.400 or girlfriend or husband or wife is hitting the ice cream every night and you're 502 00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:43.599 trying to have salad, it makes it harder. But studies show that creating 503 00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:46.559 a healthy lifestyle has a lot to do with the influence of family and friends 504 00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:52.360 and neighbors and even co workers. Good to know and speaking of food and 505 00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:59.199 going out, I hate this, but we're going to be seeing higher menu 506 00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:05.599 prices because of a new law that takes effect, and here's why. Under 507 00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:10.519 a law that was signed by Gavin Newsom in October of last year, it 508 00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:17.639 goes into effect in July. The law prohibits junk fees across different businesses including 509 00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:22.760 restaurants, bars, and delivery apps. So what that means is you're going 510 00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:27.719 to know how much you're going to be charged at the outset as opposed to 511 00:39:27.719 --> 00:39:34.400 having something tacked on at the end. And the practical result of this law 512 00:39:34.639 --> 00:39:38.400 is that instead of like putting on fees at the end, that diners are 513 00:39:38.440 --> 00:39:42.920 going to get charged upfront. So you can expect basically menu prices to go 514 00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:45.320 up. Something to look forward to as you head out and about and go 515 00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:50.039 out to dinner.
