WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.879 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:17.120 demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI and KOSTHD two Los Angeles, Orange County. 3 00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:30.839 It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. It's five 4 00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:34.880 o'clock, straight up. Good Monday morning to you. This is your wake 5 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:38.799 up call for April fifteenth. I'm Amy King, and you know what it 6 00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:43.719 is. If it's April fifteenth, it's texting. I know that in years 7 00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:48.320 past, I've been very stressed because I hadn't I was scrambling at the last 8 00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:51.119 minute to get my taxes done. I actually got them done early this year, 9 00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:56.479 so that's that's a great, great feeling. But I totally get it 10 00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:00.240 if you are freaking out and stressing out because you're working on your taxes. 11 00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:06.680 Some restaurants are helping you cash in a little bit on tax Day. Will 12 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.959 tell you about some of the freebies that they're offering up for tax Day. 13 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.680 Also, remember I don't know about a month or two ago, we talked 14 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:21.439 to the lady who wrote the Dream Dictionary, Teresa Cheng, super nice lady, 15 00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:23.200 and she wrote this whole book about what your dreams mean. And I 16 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.439 was like, I wish I could talk to her today because I had the 17 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.400 weirdest dreams last night, and a lot of them were work related. Like 18 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.760 we were driving in an suv. I was with Steve Gregory and there were 19 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:41.040 water spout tornadoes coming at us and we had to bail out of the car 20 00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:46.319 and dive behind some rocks. And then I left the studio while Handel was 21 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.680 getting ready to do handle on the news, and I went over to the 22 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.480 gym, which I never go to gym's and went to do a little bit 23 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.799 of a workout and missed one of my breaks. I mean, it was 24 00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:00.599 like the weirdest, weirdest things you have, those dreams. I would love 25 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.760 to make sense of them. I doubt those are in the dream dictionary, 26 00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.319 but maybe I'll look when I get home. Here's what's ahead on wake up 27 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.680 call. Busy day for you. A pilot and a dog have survived a 28 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:15.280 crash landing into the ocean waters off Rancho Palace Alreadies. Officials say the pilot 29 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:20.400 and the dog swamed ashore after landing late yesterday afternoon. Like Henning, Fire 30 00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.599 and the Coast Guard are working to recover the plane. Not clear why the 31 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.919 pilot had to land in the water. World leaders are urging Israel not to 32 00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:32.479 retaliate after Iran launched an attack involving hundreds of drones, ballistic missiles and cruise 33 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:39.080 missiles. British Foreign Secretary David Cameron says the UK does not support a retaliatory 34 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:45.479 strike, and French President Emmanuel Macrone said Paris will try to convince Israel that 35 00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:49.759 we must not respond by escalating. We're going to be talking with ABC's Jordana 36 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.680 Miller in Israel in just a few minutes to get the latest from there. 37 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.080 That's in about fifteen minutes, and also Steve Portnoy is going to be driving 38 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.120 joining us to let us know whether the attack is going to get Congress to 39 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:07.159 finally approve some funding for Israel. Jury selection starts today in the hush money 40 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:12.319 criminal trial of former President Trump in New York. It's the first ever criminal 41 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.840 trial of a US commander in chief for a former one. It's also the 42 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:21.439 first of Trump's four indictments that are going to trial. At six oh five, 43 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:27.080 It's handle on the news. LAPD has increased patrols around religious sites because 44 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.919 of the drone strikes on Israel. Let's get started with some of the stories 45 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.280 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Jury selection, as I 46 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.199 just mentioned, is starting in New York in the hush money case against former 47 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:42.840 President Trump. He's facing thirty four counts of falsifying business records for payments made 48 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:47.199 to porn actress Stormy Daniels during the twenty sixteen presidential campaign. Trump has pleaded 49 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:51.719 not guilty. He says the stories are false and has called the case a 50 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.599 sham designed to damage his current campaign. It's very unfair that I'm having a 51 00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:59.280 trial there. It's very unfair that we have this judge who hates Trump. 52 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.599 Trump says the judge should have recused himself when reports came out that his daughter 53 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:09.520 is an executive at a pr company that worked for President Biden. World leaders 54 00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:13.879 have urged restraint as Israel considers its response to a drone and missile attack by 55 00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.399 Iran. Israel says nearly all of the weapons were shot down over the weekend, 56 00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:23.720 including eighty drones and six ballistic missiles taken out by US forces. ABC's 57 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:29.680 Alison Kosik says Israel's war cabinet met yesterday without an apparent decision on what to 58 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:33.519 do next, one member saying Israel would act in a manner and time that 59 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:39.959 is appropriate for US. Prime Minister Netanyahu's war Cabinet is said to support retaliating 60 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.720 against Iran, but is divided over the timing. US officials have emphasized Israel's 61 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.079 right to defend itself, but say the US will not participate in any counter 62 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:53.519 strike. A person has been found dead on the sixty freeway in Almonte. 63 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:57.600 The body was found late last night on the slow lane of the westbound side 64 00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.480 near Rosemead Boulevard. See hpiece trying to fee figure out how the person ended 65 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:05.439 up on the freeway. Scotti Scheffler has a spare green jacket. Now the 66 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:10.480 world's number one golfer. Earned that ranking. He shot a final round four 67 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:15.519 hundred per sixty eight to win his second Master's tournament by four strokes. Tiger 68 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.920 Woods finished with his worst tournament score ever, sixteen over par. He finished 69 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:25.680 in last place. It is five seven on your wake up call. Time 70 00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:30.399 to say good morning to ABC's Steven Portnoy. So, Steven, the House 71 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:34.199 may finally take some action on getting funding to Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan. 72 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:39.360 I will see, I mean, look the weekend barrage of missiles and drones 73 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:44.560 launched in Israel's direction certainly amps up the pressure on the House to do what 74 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:46.399 the Senate did a couple of months ago, which has passed a ninety five 75 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.839 billion dollar package of support not just for Israel, but also, as you 76 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:55.199 mentioned, Taiwan and Ukraine. Now the question becomes, will Speaker Johnson put 77 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.319 that measure on the floor of the House or will he do something else to 78 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:02.199 abide by his late pledged to do something in support of Israel, or well 79 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:08.879 House Republicans when they conference later today choosing a different path. The easiest way 80 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.240 to get money to Israel now would be to pass that ninety five billion dollar 81 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.920 foign aid package that the Senate passed a couple of months ago. You know, 82 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.240 that package was passed before Chuck Schumer took to the Senate floor and said 83 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:24.600 it's time for net Yahoo to go and it. You know, if the 84 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:28.120 House were to take up a different measure for Israel, that would have to 85 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.560 go back to the Senate. There's the chance that some progressives in the Senate 86 00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:35.839 might balk given the state of the war in Gaza since the Senate acted last 87 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:41.600 So we'll see what happens. But I will say that over the weekend, 88 00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:46.279 while the barrage was still underway, the House Republican leadership pledged that the House 89 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:50.920 this week would take up legislation that holds Iran accountable and supports Israel. Now, 90 00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:56.439 the House has released seventeen bills that target Iran, but so far a 91 00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:01.279 path for Israel support is not yet clear, okay, And so it's expected 92 00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:05.800 that they're just going to move forward with the bill that basically they've been sitting 93 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:10.120 on. Well, we'll see. I don't know that they will because the 94 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:14.079 reason that they might not is, as you know, amy, the controversy 95 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:20.959 overfunding Ukraine. And late last week before the Iran strike, Speaker Johnson visited 96 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:26.759 mar A Lago and stood with former President Trump, who appeared to endorse the 97 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:31.800 House Speaker and the job he's doing. But Trump was asked about funding for 98 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.120 Ukraine and he said, well, maybe we ought to make it a loan 99 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:41.279 as opposed to a gift. And the provisions for additional sixty billion dollars support 100 00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:45.519 for Ukraine and the Senate bill it's not alone. So if Speaker Johnson's going 101 00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:46.759 to move in that direction, he's going to have to draft a new piece 102 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.720 of legislation that if it passes the House or then have to go to the 103 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:54.120 Senate, and it just there's the risk that it might go off the rails 104 00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:58.319 again. I will just to reiterate an underscore. Since October seventh, the 105 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.560 Congress has not passed in addition penny of support for Israel as far as I 106 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:07.319 know, other than the regular whatever annual appropriations measures that have become law. 107 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.600 There was an effort to get additional support for Israel. It was a fourteen 108 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.160 billion dollar package that was requested by the Biden administration after October seventh, and 109 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:20.360 it has not been delivered. Congress has not lived up to that promise, 110 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:24.360 and it's because there hasn't been agreement as there needs to be in both houses 111 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.439 on the same pieces of legislation. Okay, so we're just going to have 112 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:31.720 to wait and see if he goes forward with the original one comes up with 113 00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:35.720 a new one. But he did say he wants to get to work on 114 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.399 it or have something this week. So hopefully he has said that and we'll 115 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.240 see what happens. But he's under a lot of pressure. Marjorie Taylor Green 116 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.960 is moving to oust him and threatened to do so if he moves a Ukraine 117 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.279 bill on the floor. So it's he's in a hot seat. Well we'll 118 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.759 see if he can handle the heat. Thank you, Steven Portnoy. Have 119 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:56.639 a great day you got. Let's get back to some of the stories coming 120 00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:01.639 out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man arrested of shooting from 121 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.080 the roof of a building, and Marina del Rey has been arrested. LA 122 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.759 County Sheriff's deputies were called Saturday night about gun shots heard from inside an apartment 123 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.000 complex. Deputies heard shots when they arrived and called for backup. They say 124 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:18.000 a man was spotted on the roof firing off a rifle. He was arrested 125 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.559 a few hours later. Officials are saying he fired off about one hundred rounds 126 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:28.320 at least and live streamed the event on social media. LA has approved tens 127 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.799 of millions of dollars to settle a series of lawsuits. A man who suffered 128 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.000 a serious head injury when part of a street lamp fell on him will be 129 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.759 paid up to twenty one million dollars. Another man who was involved in a 130 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.759 car crash with an on duty Los Angeles police officer will receive up to fifteen 131 00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:46.000 and a quarter million dollars. A case involving an alleged defect in the crosswalk 132 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:50.320 at Santa Monica and Westwood Boulevards will settle for one point nine million, and 133 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.320 a woman who tripped while rollerblading in Venice will be paid more than one point 134 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.360 three million dollars. The city council approved the settlements at its meeting on Friday. 135 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.960 Michael Bunks KFI News. So she tripped and fell and sued the city 136 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:09.840 and got one point three million dollars might have to go rollerblading in Venice. 137 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.039 O. J. Simpson is set to be cremated this week, and there 138 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:18.679 are no plans to donate his brain for a CTE study. The executor of 139 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.519 Simpson's estate responded to the idea, saying that's a hard no. The degenerative 140 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:28.519 brain disease has been studied in former football players and is associated with behavioral and 141 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:33.440 cognitive issues caused by repeated head injuries. It can only be diagnosed after death. 142 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.799 Simpson died from cancer last week. He was seventy six Police in Australia 143 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.519 trying to find out why a man who went on a stabbing spree at a 144 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:46.960 shopping mall in Sydney was targeting women. Only one of the six people over 145 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:52.600 the weekend was a man. Twelve people survived. New South Wales State Police 146 00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.639 Commissioner Karen Webbs's detectives plan to question the attacker's family to try to find his 147 00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:01.639 motive. Police say they've ruled out terrorism and that the man had a history 148 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.440 of mental illness. He was killed by police. Also getting word out of 149 00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.960 Sydney, Australia this morning that police have arrested a man after he reportedly stabbed 150 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:16.440 a bishop and churchgoers in Sydney. There were no serious injuries on that one. 151 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.679 Fans will be seeing purple at the Olympics when athletes try to set records 152 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:26.080 at this summer's Paris Games. In a move away from the traditional red brick 153 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:30.600 clay color on the track, A new track is being installed for the twenty 154 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.759 twenty four Olympics in July, and it's purple. Work on the track is 155 00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:39.080 underway. Three world records and twelve Olympic marks were set on the red brick 156 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:46.840 track in Tokyo. So health officials have been telling us that measles is rearing 157 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:52.159 its ugly head again and we've got another one. Ella County health officials have 158 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:58.440 issued an exposure warning. They say there was a traveler who had measles and 159 00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:03.679 guess where he or she went Universal Studios and the Santa Monica Pier and several 160 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:09.679 other locations. So this is basically some of the places where this person was 161 00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:15.320 that if you're not vaccinated, you could have been exposed. And the dates 162 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:20.799 are between March thirtieth and April first, So apparently the person went to Universal 163 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:26.960 Studios, looks like they stayed at the Sheridan Gateway Hotel and also went to 164 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:31.639 the gym at the hotel, went to Denny's on Century Boulevard, a Buca 165 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:39.720 Tobacco, Buca di Beppo, Klitus's Chicken Shack in Universal Studios, lard Lad 166 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:45.720 Donuts in Universal Studios, and Jenny's Splendid Ice Creams. This person was hungry 167 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:48.600 Holy Cow, and then on Sunday went to Jack in the Box, Santa 168 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:54.279 Monica Pier, El Tito, and the hotel, and then on Monday went 169 00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:58.159 to Denny's again and was at the hotel. And health officials are basically saying, 170 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:03.679 if you where at one of the exposure locations on those days. You 171 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.159 need to make sure that you've been vaccinated against measles, and uh, it 172 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:11.840 looks like symptoms develop if you're exposed to be measles and going to get it. 173 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.639 Symptoms developed between one and three weeks after exposure. So that's right about 174 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:22.039 now. So that person probably had a blast, right, sounds like they 175 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:26.600 went everywhere. A section of Malibu Canyon Road is closed in both directions because 176 00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:30.240 of a rock slide. Several large rocks blocked the lane in front of a 177 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:35.039 tunnel between Payuma Road and pch The Oly County Sheriff's Department estimates the roads going 178 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:39.159 to be shut down until at least this afternoon. G seven leaders have unanimously 179 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:46.960 condemned what they called Iran's unprecedented attack against Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu says 180 00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:50.080 Israel will respond to the attack by Iran at a time and a place of 181 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.840 its choosing. President Biden apparently told Natanyahu the US will not take part in 182 00:13:54.919 --> 00:14:01.440 any counter offensive against Iran. The future of the NBA are DOUBLENBA will find 183 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.320 their new homes when the twenty twenty four draft gets underway tonight. Iowa star 184 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:11.360 Caitlin Clark is expected to be the first overall pick. The Indiana Fever were 185 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:18.600 awarded the top pick after winning the draft lottery in December. So Iowa's clerk 186 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.679 may just be going right next door. At six oh five, it's Handle 187 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.960 on the news. Are Iowa and Indiana? Do they touch? I know 188 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:30.120 they're close. At six oh five, it's Handled on the news. What 189 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.679 prosecutors need to prove to get a conviction in the Trump hush money case. 190 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:39.799 Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Jordana Miller and Jornana. We've 191 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.080 got a lot to talk about with the three hundred and fifty drones and missiles 192 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:48.879 being launched at Israel. But right now I want to hear from you, 193 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.320 as someone living in Jerusalem. What have the last couple of days been like? 194 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.200 Not so easy? I mean we're used to kind of running, hearing 195 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.639 sirens, running to the safe. I think what made this and more of 196 00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:09.639 a nail bier was that we knew several hours before any sirens went off that 197 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:16.600 there were dozens of cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and drones heading our way. 198 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.519 You know, looking back on Saturday night, we didn't know the number was 199 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.840 so high because the estimates had been that maybe around would fire somewhere between one 200 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:31.600 hundred and one hundred and fifty. You know, what came in or over 201 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.600 the skies was almost triple that number, right, It was close to three 202 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:41.559 hundred and fifty. And even though the Israeli Army really tried to keep the 203 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:46.480 public calm, saying we have aerial defense systems, you know, you know, 204 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.200 we have our allies, the United States here. You know, it 205 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:54.000 has to be said that Israel's Arrow two and Arrow of three which ended up, 206 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:58.679 you know, they were the heroes of the aerial defense systems. They 207 00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:03.399 shot down almost all of the ballistic missiles, the cruise missiles, and some 208 00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:07.080 of the drones. The Israeli fighter pilots in the F thirty five and F 209 00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:11.639 sixteen did most of the work with the drones, but the AARO too and 210 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:17.039 Erasrowaly never had never been tested in real time like that with so many targets 211 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:21.960 and so many you know, it was a swarm. So I think there 212 00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:25.759 was a lot of there was a lot of tension if it would perform as 213 00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:30.559 well, and it did. It did, and Israel and the United States 214 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:37.240 and the allies shot down almost everything that came towards Israel. Several ballistic missiles 215 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:44.960 hit around and on one Israeli base in the south, causing minor damage to 216 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:49.720 one aircraft that was there, but that base remained operational. Its landings and 217 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:56.440 takeoff routes were not affected. And there were some rockets that fell in the 218 00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:00.159 Dead Sea, for example, there was a road in the north that was 219 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:06.480 injured, that was damaged, but nobody was killed, and sadly, the 220 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:11.240 only one person injured was a little seven year old Arab Israeli girl from the 221 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:17.000 South who's still fighting for her life in a hospital here. Okay, and 222 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:25.119 did the does it appear that Iran was targeting specific things because they fell that 223 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:29.160 you said that one fell near a base? Were they was there a specific 224 00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:33.599 target? Are they just Iran? No? Iran said that they were targeting 225 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:42.480 military sites and not civilian places, not population center. They said they did 226 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:47.400 that on purpose. Uh, you know that the you know, and we 227 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:52.880 heard early intelligence from the Israelis that they they knew that these targets were on 228 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.160 their way to military sites. But it looks like some of the ballistic missiles, 229 00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:03.200 and Iran has old missiles, some of them never made it to their 230 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:07.920 to their intended targets. Some blew up on the way. I don't know 231 00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.759 where the target. The Dead Sea, for example, is not. There's 232 00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.119 not a military base right there, so that one seems to have you know, 233 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.319 gone off course. And here in Jerusalem, by the way, sirens 234 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:25.079 went off and we saw, we saw that missiles were were blown out of 235 00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:30.079 the sky over the Israeli Parliament in Jerusalems Old City, there was really the 236 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.079 whole sky lit up around the Old City and the Dome of the Rock, 237 00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:38.119 which is part of you know, Islam's third holyest site in the world. 238 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:47.640 That's where that's where the ALACs Mosque is. That's right, that's right. 239 00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:52.559 Interestingly enough, the Supreme Leader posted some of the footage of the interceptions right 240 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:57.400 over the right over the Dome of the Rock, which is I find that 241 00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:02.880 a bit strange. I mean, are on fired and put these holy sites 242 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.079 at risk. And then he posts something saying, one day, you know, 243 00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:11.680 these they will be in Muslim hands. By the way, the mosque 244 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.039 is, and in Muslim hands. The Jordanians run that mosque. Okay, 245 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:19.759 So you said that you could see things happening over Israel or over Jerusalem. 246 00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:23.680 So you guys weren't in shelters or were you in shelters? But then looking 247 00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:30.400 out kind of peeking. Oh, we saw the footage afterwards. Someone had 248 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.079 posted it on my note. My family. We heard the sirens just before 249 00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:37.880 two am, and I grabbed my children. We went to the safe room, 250 00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:41.079 which I had packed with toys and other things, even though Jerusalem wasn't 251 00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:44.960 supposed to be a target. I said, you know what, you always 252 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:47.880 have to in this in this part of the world, you always have to 253 00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:53.079 plan for all contingencies. So we went running in there, which was scary 254 00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:59.119 for my three year old, and we heard we heard probably ten interceptions at 255 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:02.279 least. We stayed in there for about a half an hour, where I 256 00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:06.079 was reporting from inside, you know, on our group with ABC News. 257 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:11.039 Yeah. Wow, that's just unnerving. Okay, so now let's move forward. 258 00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.160 Israel is saying they're going to respond, and they're going to do it 259 00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.559 in their way, in their time. The world is saying, right those 260 00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:25.319 So I mean, like I think the world is saying, mm hm, 261 00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:32.160 go ahead. I think you know, I think President Biden is putting a 262 00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:38.200 lot of pressure on the Prime Minister and the Israeli leaders to not respond with 263 00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:42.559 a large military strike on Iranian soil. I don't think President Biden is saying 264 00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:48.279 don't respond, but he's saying, be smart, take your time, be 265 00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:55.440 strategic right now, right now, you know his his remarks to the Prime 266 00:20:55.440 --> 00:21:02.319 minister, or you know, basically, we've won one by defending against these 267 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:07.759 missiles, and in a really remarkable way, we won by helping you. 268 00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.240 So do the Jordanians, the Egyptians, the Amaranths, you know, the 269 00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:17.920 Saudis. Everyone rallied to Israel's cause. That is victory right now. Don't 270 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.920 rush into anything that will escalate the region or bring us closer to war. 271 00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:29.279 And I think what President Biden is saying is very, very strategically smart. 272 00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:32.759 And I think Israel, while it doesn't always listen to the president, as 273 00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:36.599 we know, in this case, I think that the President's position will have 274 00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:40.799 a huge impact on what Israel does. Maybe we'll see Israel carry out a 275 00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:44.920 cyber attack, I mean a major cyber attack, and that will be considered 276 00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:51.039 less than you know, enough to make a wrong respond. So we'll see. 277 00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:55.880 Okay, Jordana Miller, thank you so much for providing us an update. 278 00:21:55.920 --> 00:22:00.200 We're so glad you're safe, and everybody in Israel is safe. Thank 279 00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:02.880 God. All right, take care. We'll talk to you soon, Okay, 280 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:06.960 puck soon. Yes. The Dodgers take on the Nationals tonight, with 281 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:08.880 the first pitch going out at seven o'clock.

It's a special night too, because it's Jackie Robinson Day at 285 00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:29.759 Dodger Stadium. President Biden has issued a disaster declaration for La Ventura, Santa 286 00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:33.839 Barbara, and San Luis Obispo Counties because of the winter storms. Residents affected 287 00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:38.440 by flooding, landslides, mudslides, tornadoes, and other storm related issues between 288 00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:44.880 January thirty first and February ninth are eligible for federal assistance. In February, 289 00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:48.680 La County had hundreds of mud slides triggered by days of heavy rain. Jerry's 290 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.400 selection gets underway this morning in New York. In former President Trump's hush money 291 00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:57.039 case, Trump's lawyers tried several times to get the trial delayed. Trump is 292 00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:02.519 accused of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to adult film 293 00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:07.640 star Stormy Daniels ahead of the twenty sixteen election. The IRS says it has 294 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.759 made customer service improvements since receiving tens of billions of dollars in new funding through 295 00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:17.839 the Inflation Reduction Act. It says it cut phone phone wait times, digitized 296 00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:22.319 more documents, and improved it's where's my refund tool? It's trying to get 297 00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:26.359 the word out to show what's been improved as congressional Republicans threatened to cut the 298 00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:30.559 additional funding the agency got. At six oh five, it's handle on the 299 00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.200 news. Ojay's gone and no one's going to go poking around inside his brain 300 00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:37.359 to look for any answers. I'll tell you about that. At five point 301 00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:40.480 fifty. The Weegle waggle walk is less than a week away. We're going 302 00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:44.160 to be checking in with the Pasadena Humans Kevin McManus to get the latest on 303 00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:48.000 that. But right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. 304 00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:52.319 It is tax day. Are yours all done? Yeah? Done? Submitted, 305 00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:57.519 refund came back. And that's the thing I remember, you know, 306 00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:03.160 standing outside covering back in the day when it was a big deal. At 307 00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.480 midnight on April fifteenth, all these people lined up at the post office to 308 00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:11.480 get their returns submitted. The ones, invariably the ones who were waiting until 309 00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:14.680 the last minute. The procrast tenures were the people who owed money. Those 310 00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:17.920 who were expecting or rayfound back had filed a long time before that. But 311 00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:21.799 two things for all those folks with the Muth's slide damage that they are likely 312 00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:25.319 to file for extensions. If you had a natural disaster, you can file 313 00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:27.200 for an extension, right, yeah, we got those I think last year 314 00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:32.240 for sure, everybody. Yeah, fire, yeah. And the other thing 315 00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:34.680 is that the first part of that Steve Martin joke here it is, he 316 00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:37.920 starts off, he's there, No, I'm not correcting you, because that's 317 00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:41.000 the second part that you told. He says, Okay, how to have 318 00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:45.720 a million dollars and not pay taxes on it? First, get a million 319 00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:51.200 dollars? Oh yeah, right, Oh my gosh, I love that one. 320 00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:53.960 Yeah. So did you file with this new direct file system there in 321 00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:57.559 California is one of a dozen states where it's available. I didn't because mine 322 00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:03.319 are too complicated for the people who have pretty straightforward, easy a tax on 323 00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:07.559 baby. Huh yeah right, Well California, yeah, I know, you 324 00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:12.279 have state income tax there, so you have to file separately. There's cal 325 00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:18.319 file tax application, then there's the new direct file. And again California is 326 00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:21.839 one of the guinea pig states a dozen of them where this direct file has 327 00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:26.519 been made available. It's supposed to be easier. It's free to file online. 328 00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:29.839 That way, you don't have to ease a tax filing online service. 329 00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:33.400 You can just do it yourself and save some money that way. So, 330 00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:40.200 yeah, this is tax deadline day and the iris will receive millions more returns 331 00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:44.200 today. They've already taken in over one hundred million as of earlier this month. 332 00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:48.000 How many do they expect in total will file?
