Yesterday we talked to Space Force guardian and NASA astronaut Colonel Nick 10 00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:59.000 Kay about his upcoming trip to the International Space Station, and if you missed 11 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.039 that interview, it's so worth a listen. So we talk about some of 12 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.799 his training because his missions about two months away right now. He's actually in 13 00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.040 Los Angeles this week doing some training. And we also got to talk about 14 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.920 the astronauts who are stuck up on the Space station because they can't catch a 15 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.079 ride home on the Starliner because there's some issues with that so we talked about 16 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.959 that a whole lot more, and you can listen to it on the iHeartRadio 17 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.640 app. Just search keyword wakeup Call and you can listen to the whole wake 18 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.760 Up Call or at KFI AM six forty dot com slash wake up Call. 19 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.519 We've got a web page with that interview and all of the other interviews we've 20 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.000 had with Colonel Haig, and again we're hoping to talk to him one more 21 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.120 time before he launches for the International Space Station a little bit later this summer. 22 00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.840 But again, a really interesting interview and such a nice man and so 23 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:51.079 informative. Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. The first debate of the 24 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.719 twenty twenty four presidential election is just hours away. The debate's going to last 25 00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:00.560 ninety minutes, no audience, and Biden and Trump's microphones will be u when 26 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.079 it's not their turn to speak. We're going to be talking with ABC's Karen 27 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.400 Travers about how the candidates are preparing and what we can expect tonight from Atlanta. 28 00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:12.680 The state of California has followed the lead of the La School District in 29 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:16.800 efforts to ban cell phones and schools. The Senate Education Committee unanimously passed to 30 00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:22.479 bill yesterday that would require school districts to limit or ban students from using cell 31 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.360 phones during the school day. Governor Newsom came out in support of that plan 32 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:32.360 last week. NBC is going to be using artificial intelligence of Al Michaels for 33 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:38.439 the twenty twenty four Paris Olympics. It's using generative AI software to recreate the 34 00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:44.080 sportscaster's voice to provide Olympic recaps. For Peacock. Michaels did approve of the 35 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.280 plan. He said he was astonished after hearing a sample broadcast. At the 36 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:51.479 bottom of the hour, we're going to find out, actually, we're going 37 00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:55.360 out and about to find out about one of the best stakes, not in 38 00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:00.159 Los Angeles, not in the country, but in the whole world, and 39 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.280 it's right here in La I'm going to give you a hint. We got 40 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:07.479 to catch up with the one and only world renowned chef Curtis Stone, so 41 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.039 be listening for that again. Coming up at the bottom of the hour. 42 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:14.159 Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 43 00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.599 hour newsroom. Metro's board of directors is meeting to discuss an in house Police 44 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:23.800 Department after another fatal stabbing of a Metro rider. The person was attacked in 45 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.919 South La on Tuesday afternoon just after getting off the bus. Police say two 46 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.360 riders got into a fight. One of them pulled out a knife and stabbed 47 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:37.479 the other one several times. Metro says violence in the communities it serves spilling 48 00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.560 over onto the public transit system continues to be an issue. In Greater LA. 49 00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.759 Police have cut the fuse on an illegal fireworks stash in Guardina. It's 50 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:50.039 seventy five tons of illegal fireworks. The rate of a warehouse by Guardina police 51 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:54.400 investigators marked the largest bus in California history. Guardia Police Lieutenant Chris Cuff says 52 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:59.439 five trailers and one big rigor used to remove the fireworks. The fireworks, 53 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:04.439 as can tained, were very stable and able to be transported without any issues 54 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.719 of that so there was no detonation. Please say they believe the illegal fireworks 55 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:13.159 found last week were valued between seven to ten million dollars. Three people were 56 00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:17.920 arrested in Guardina Blake Trolley k if I News. Somehow, I think that 57 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.240 that's going to fail to make a huge dent in the amount of fireworks that 58 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:26.639 are going off on July fourth around Los Angeles. I remember last year was 59 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.000 sitting there and it's just it's like a war zone from about eight o'clock at 60 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:34.600 night until about midnight. Just crazy. A pair of giant pandas are on 61 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:39.839 their way from China to the San Diego Zoo. A farewell ceremony was held 62 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:45.120 in Beijing yesterday before the pandas, yun Chuan and Zinbao, began their trip 63 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.160 to Southern California. They're going to need a few weeks to get used to 64 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:51.040 their new home before they are going to be viewable to the public. They'll 65 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.560 be living in San Diego for the next five years as part of a nearly 66 00:04:55.639 --> 00:05:00.920 thirty year partnership between China and the San Diego Wildlife Alliance. Let's take a 67 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:03.879 first look at your morning commute with Russell Ford. We've got a crash in 68 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:09.199 Santa Anna on the five and it's a bad one. Yeah. Unfortunately, 69 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.439 that's on the southbound side of the five, right before seventeenth Street. That 70 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:16.759 crash has the four right lanes blocked. Looks like there might be about eight 71 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:20.000 lanes there, so try to stay up to the left hand side, including 72 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:24.079 the car poolane. Looks like CCHP is opening that one up for you. 73 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.560 Traffic right now completely locked up from the twenty two. If you can, 74 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:30.279 you might want to try to find an alternate route around that. You might 75 00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:32.759 be able to take the twenty two down to the fifty five. If you're 76 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:38.519 heading down into Irvine in mid city on the ten eastbound, right before Crunshaw 77 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.399 Boulevard, there's a crash block in the right lane. Looks like a detached 78 00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:46.920 trailer is over there in the right and in Castaic. Looks like that earlier 79 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.040 crash has now been actually cleared out of the way. Just now on the 80 00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:54.560 five northbound at Demplin Highway. Some great news. It does look like your 81 00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:59.199 drive time is now starting to recover with Southern California's only airborne traffic reports. 82 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.120 I'm Russell fully oh, I love good news when it comes to traffic. 83 00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:06.040 Thank you, Russell. It's a five seven and let's say good morning now 84 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:13.199 to ABC's Karen Travers. Well, it's a big night tonight and Karen has 85 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.959 her finger on the pulse of debate, debate prep and what to expect. 86 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:20.519 So Karen tell us what we can expect. Yeah, it is finally debate 87 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:25.800 night it's we've been talking about it for years. Yeah, it was joking. 88 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.600 It's like that two weeks before the Super Bowl, where like you're just 89 00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.240 anticipating it and now finally it is here. But it's gonna be a long 90 00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:35.959 day and a lot of anticipation before nine o'clock Eastern time tonight when the two 91 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:41.079 candidates finally take that stage. But you know, the President is still waking 92 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:45.319 up at Camp David today after nearly a week with his campaign advisors, white 93 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:50.079 House advisors doing policy sessions, mock debates. He'll travel down to Atlanta tonight, 94 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:54.480 of course for the debate, and then you know, notably after he's 95 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:58.160 going to do an event after the debate, stop by a watch party in 96 00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:02.040 Atlanta and meet with some people who had gathered together to tune into the debate. 97 00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:05.639 Supporters of his in Atlanta. Campaign is touting the fact that they're doing 98 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:11.439 parties like this in all fifty states. Twelve thousand people are gathering just in 99 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:15.639 the battlegrounds alone, and they're trying to use that to support and enthusiasm for 100 00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.040 their side. Tonight. It's like the finale of Bachelor. Watch parties all 101 00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:25.800 over the country are the same dramas don't know. Yeah, So on Trump's 102 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.959 side, is he doing watch parties too or is It's not that I have 103 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.439 seen in an organized way, but I'm sure in some sort of organic way 104 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:36.879 they'll be happening. Okay, So what are the polls saying as we head 105 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:43.160 into this debate? You know, there was a poll yesterday from Quinnipiac that 106 00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.920 showed Donald Trump with a slight lead of Joe Biden among registered voters, all 107 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.639 within the margin of error. I thought it was also interesting that showed that 108 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:55.199 a majority of registered voters seventy three percent, say they're going to tune in 109 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:59.199 tonight to the debate. So there's heavy interest and that's exactly what both campaigns 110 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.319 would like to see. They want to have a big audience for this evening. 111 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.720 We had a new survey out today with our partners at five point thirty 112 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.079 eight. When you look at the average of polls showing that it's a dead 113 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.920 heat, I mean, it is very close. And this is where tonight 114 00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:16.439 becomes so important because for the Biden campaign, they say they are really hoping 115 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.839 that this is a big opportunity for the president to make his case to that 116 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.240 critical group of undecided voters. It might not be a large group of undecided 117 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.639 voters because people seem to know what they want to do in November, but 118 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.960 they're going to be the ones that decide this race in those critical battleground states, 119 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.639 and we're looking at handful of voters in maybe just a handful of states. 120 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.320 Well, and you had mentioned that seventy five percent people are saying they're 121 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:43.879 going to watch it, which I think is great because I think people should 122 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:48.080 be watching these things and listen to what the candidates have to say. We 123 00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.279 had our social media gown. Nihaw was out and she went and asked a 124 00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:54.879 bunch of people and asked them basically what we're talking about. Do you have 125 00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:00.440 your mind made up? Are you undecided? Several were undecided. Everyone said 126 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:03.120 they weren't watching the debate. Couple didn't know that it was happening. Of 127 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:05.559 course, it's Los Angeles, and I'm like, how do you not know 128 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:11.120 there's a debate? And then most of them that she asked, I mean 129 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:15.759 was small sampling, but most of the people she asked basically said the debate's 130 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.159 not going to sway their vote. Interesting, I know, so I think 131 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.960 maybe everybody's looking for just to see the show. You know, yeah, 132 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:26.159 you know, And you're not the first person this morning that's told me that 133 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.080 that. You know, there are a lot of people tuning in just to 134 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.679 see what these the dynamics between the two of them are like, and to 135 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:37.639 see whether it evolves into the shouting matches that we saw frequently in their twenty 136 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:39.840 twenty showdowns. You know, remember that famous line that we heard from the 137 00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:45.000 President where he finally after they're going back and forth and Donald Trump was interrupting 138 00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:46.000 him, and he just said, will you shut up? Man? Like 139 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:50.919 that got so much play back then, And you know, the campaigns don't 140 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.080 necessarily want it to be like that, but the rules will be a little 141 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:58.399 different this year and maybe preventing that. Their microphones will only be turned on 142 00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.840 when it is their turn to answer, so in theory, even if the 143 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.840 other is trying to jump in, you won't necessarily hear them loud and clear. 144 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.159 Now, they're only eight feet apart, and they have pretty good microphones, 145 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:15.480 the kind of they're called goose neck microphones that come really high up, 146 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.600 so it's likely you'll pick them up when they're talking, but it won't be 147 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:24.360 in theory that same shotting match that we saw last time around. Yeah, 148 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:26.840 and I think that's going to be an interesting factor too, because how much 149 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:30.639 are you going to hear one of them going, oh, shut up, 150 00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:33.279 you're wrong, you know, just off mic, right or exactly? Or 151 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.559 are they going to be really directional because they can do that with microphones and 152 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.960 make them, you know, more directional where you can't hear anything that's really 153 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.559 off mic. Yeah, and awkward to be. You could hear the moderators 154 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.840 telling the candidate to stay out of it, but you don't actually hear the 155 00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.360 candidate. So that's going to be interesting. A lot of things to be 156 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.559 paying attention to tonight, and we will be paying attention. Karen Travers, 157 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.519 thank you so much for your information. We'll join you tonight. Thank you, 158 00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.399 all right, talk soon. Let's get back to some of the stories 159 00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:03.159 coming out of the Case four hour newsroom. The LA Police Commission wants to 160 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:07.320 know when patrols at that abandoned graffiti tower in downtown LA will end. The 161 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.240 answer is unclear, Interim LAPED Chief Dominic Choi told the Commission on Tuesday. 162 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:16.200 Ocean Wide Plaza is taking resources from the department, but isn't safe enough to 163 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.720 be left alone. There has to be an end in sight, because, 164 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:22.559 as you alluded to, we can't continue to police a private entity. The 165 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.720 multi billion dollar project was abandoned by its developer and left unfinished. It was 166 00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:31.519 covered in graffiti from top to bottom by vandals earlier this year. The property 167 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.000 is now in bankruptcy court and set to go to auction later this year in 168 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:39.960 downtown La Michael Monks KFI News Officials in the Santa Clarita Valley are looking for 169 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:45.080 man they say tried to kidnap a child outside of swimming pool. Ellie Kenny 170 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.360 Sheriff's Department says a guy went up to the kid on June thirteenth outside the 171 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.519 Valencia Hills Homeowners Association community pool. Officials say the eight year old boy was 172 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.840 able to get away on his bike. A father has filed a sixty five 173 00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:01.720 million dollar claim against the La County Department of Child Services for not protecting his 174 00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:07.200 infant son from the boy's mom and grandfather in Lancaster. The baby died in 175 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:13.480 February at his mom's house from fentanyl consumption. The dad says the agency should 176 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.399 have known the child was in an unsafe environment. His lawyers say the mom 177 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.279 and her father were on a drug drug binge at the time of the death, 178 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:24.960 and that their drug history was well documented. The lawsuit claims the boy's 179 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:30.320 father wanted custody, but the system placed his son with his mother, only 180 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:35.360 giving him visitation rights. The head of Homeland Security says the screening process used 181 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.679 by the FEDS cannot predict whether migrants will commit crimes once they're released. He 182 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:41.759 was referring to the killing of a twelve year old girl in Texas last week 183 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.919 by two illegal immigrants. Secretary Alejandro Majorcis says the killers have been caught in 184 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:52.679 charge. The individual who's responsible for a heinous criminal act is the criminal, 185 00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:54.919 and we need to bring the full force of the law to bear on that 186 00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.960 criminal. He says, the murder of a twelve year old girl is tragic. 187 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.440 The US State Department says Russia is holding a show trial for detained American 188 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:09.639 reporter Evan Gershkovich. It started yesterday. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller says Gerskovich 189 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.960 should not be in prison for doing his job. Journalism is not a crime, 190 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:18.639 and that Evan should never have been detained in the first place. Gerskovich 191 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.039 was arrested in March of last year, accused of spying for the US. 192 00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:28.480 Amazon's Prime Day sale this year will be held July sixteenth and seventeen, so 193 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:35.360 just a couple of weeks away. Tech product review website ng gadget reports that 194 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.440 early sales are going to include a four pack of air tags for twenty dollars 195 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.840 off, as well as deals on the MacBook Pro ooh, might have to 196 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.000 look at that one, Apple Watch Series nine and the Apple Pencil pro. 197 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.279 It says. Amazon is also offering five months of Amazon Music Unlimited for free. 198 00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:56.440 It's usually fifty dollars. I listened to Joel's advice. I wasn't using 199 00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:03.000 my Amazon Music service, so I canceled it. Maybe i'll get it back 200 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.159 free. Joel Larsgard has such great information for us to save money. A 201 00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:11.360 new poll out just before the presidential debate tonight says former President Trump has taken 202 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:18.200 the lead over President Biden nationally. The Quinnipiac poll finds Trump now leads President 203 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.000 Biden forty nine to forty five percent. You can hear the CNN presidential debate 204 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:30.320 tonight at six on CNN and simulcast right here on KFI Marilyn Monroe's home in 205 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:35.279 La is now an historical landmark. The La City Council voted unanimously to give 206 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:39.279 the home in Brentwood the designation after lots of talking with the owners of the 207 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:43.080 property who wanted to tear it down. The twenty nine hundred square foot home 208 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.159 was the only one ever owned by Monroe, and it is where she died 209 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.200 in nineteen sixty two. Loneliness could be a factor in whether you have a 210 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.840 stroke. A new study shows that older Americans who reported being chronically lonely at 211 00:14:54.840 --> 00:15:00.759 a fifty six percent higher stroke risk than those who rated their loneliness level as 212 00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:05.559 low at six oh five. It's handled on the news. LA's school district 213 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:09.799 and the state col ad ban cell phones at school. Let's say good morning 214 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:16.879 now to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana, what we have here is 215 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.279 a failure to communicate. Both the US and Israel are working to fix it, 216 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:28.320 though right his team, saying that he has worked through some of the 217 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:37.799 snags and bottleneck on armed shipments and that he's hopeful that things will improve. 218 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.519 Having said that the United States made it clear behind closed doors that they are 219 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:52.399 still holding up that one shipment of heavy munitions, those two thousand pound bombs 220 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:56.600 that the President was so worried would be used, you know, in areas 221 00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:03.200 where there were a lot of civilians shelter in Rafa, that central Goalsen city, 222 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:10.320 which Israel says that its operations they're about to actually wrap up. So 223 00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:15.120 you know, this is a good sign. I think you saw the Defense 224 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:21.840 Minister during his several days in Washington really trying to put any dispute between the 225 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:30.039 allies back behind closed doors, you know, taking the absolute opposite attack of 226 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:34.320 the Israeli Prime Minister who seemed to be picking a fight last week. And 227 00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:38.120 that of course has tied to what's happening on the northern border here in Israel 228 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:45.679 of fighting has intensified with hasbel Lah over the last several weeks, peaking with 229 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:52.879 about six hundred and fifty cross border attacks about ten days ago, which really 230 00:16:52.080 --> 00:17:00.039 alarmed everybody and signaled that Israel and Haswollah are both, you know, really 231 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:06.119 just creeping up to the line where they could cross over into an all out 232 00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:10.759 war. And now it seems that the United States is working very hard to 233 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:15.119 try to see if they can carve out some kind of diplomatic solution to the 234 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:21.720 north, and Israel says it is giving that time, but it is also 235 00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:25.640 preparing for war. We just got a notice from the Israeli Army that they 236 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:32.200 finished a whole series of exercises in the north along the northern border, simulating, 237 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:37.279 you know, fighting with Hezbollah. Okay, so when you're talking about 238 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:45.039 these these cross border attacks, so they're both firing Hesbola started at Israel's retaliating, 239 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:51.960 I'm guessing and I'm wondering are they hitting anything or are they just kind 240 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:55.640 of firing off just to say, hey, we're here and we're attacking. 241 00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:59.240 Or are they I mean, are they hitting buildings? Are the bombs falling 242 00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:03.240 or the missiles falling in fields? What's being hit? All Right, that's 243 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:08.680 a great question. I think the intensity of the fighting in Gaza overshadowed what 244 00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:14.240 has been going on along the northern border for many, many months, and 245 00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:19.960 we've seen Israel carry out attacks on southern Lebanon, targeted attacks, killing They've 246 00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:27.839 killed over four hundred Husbolla fighters, some of them commanders, and Husboa has 247 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:37.480 fired thousands of missiles and rockets and anti tank missiles and even suicide drone attacks. 248 00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:44.079 Over the last several months, there's been incredible damage done to the communities 249 00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:49.359 up that the Israeli communities along the north, the northern border with southern Lebanon 250 00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:56.039 and on the been a lot of damage to homes there. They're about eighty 251 00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:02.359 thousand Lebanese that have fled norths and about sixty five thousand Israelis that have fled 252 00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:07.440 south. So that area is largely right now emptied out of civilians. But 253 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:14.079 we saw during that escalation just ten days ago that has Bulah started to fire 254 00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:19.960 even deeper into Israeli territory where people are not evacuated, and Israel also started 255 00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:27.319 to fire deeper into Lebanese territory. So you know, this is a very 256 00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:33.000 Again, there are these very critical moments we've had in the war, and 257 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:37.319 I think this is another one of them coming up where we're going to see 258 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.680 active, fierce, intense combat come to a close in the Gaza Strip probably 259 00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:45.400 in the next two to three weeks, and then there's going to be a 260 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:51.480 window, certainly where the US is going to push for a renewed Gazza seasfire 261 00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:55.079 and at the same time to try to solve the problem in the north. 262 00:19:55.359 --> 00:20:00.519 The US wants to carve out an agreement that will push Hasbollah further north off 263 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:06.880 of Israel's northern border and declare it again a demilitarized zone. Remember back in 264 00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:10.759 two thousand and six when these two went to war. After that war, 265 00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:15.680 there was a UN resolution passed seventeen oh one where the area about twenty miles 266 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:19.759 off of Israel's border was supposed to be demilitarized. Well, has Bola over 267 00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:25.200 the years came in and turned it into you know, a very active military 268 00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:32.480 zone with fighters and storing weapons and everything else. So you know, the 269 00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:36.519 aim here by the you know, the United States wants a diplomatic solution that 270 00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:41.279 of course would then avoid a larger war. And is there any motivation for 271 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:47.160 Hesbola to comply with any kind of resolution that would create that or recreate the 272 00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:51.160 de militarized zone. I mean, it just seems like they're just well, 273 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:55.319 going and going, and yeah, they're not really paying attention to what we 274 00:20:55.519 --> 00:21:00.640 want. Right. Well, has Bola operates, right, they're an Iranian 275 00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:06.200 back terror group, but they also have a very strong political presence in Lebanon, 276 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:12.640 and they've lost a lot of their what was once their hefty political influence 277 00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:18.599 in parliament in Lebanon. They're under a lot of criticism for various other issues. 278 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:26.160 Remember that huge blast that happened at the Berout coort Hasbala who is keeping 279 00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:34.200 chemicals stored unsafely there? And so the pressure that can be put on Husbala 280 00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:41.160 is really by the Lebanese government the other factions, because if Husbala decides that 281 00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:45.079 it wants war with Israel, and right now I think both Hasbala and Israel 282 00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:48.440 would prefer not to have a war. But if it comes to that, 283 00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:56.480 Hasbala will be blamed by Lebanon for dragging it into an even more dire economic 284 00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:02.480 and political situation, because you know, Israel will not just keep its fighting 285 00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:07.400 to southern Lebanon against Cosbola, they will go after infrastructure and other parts of 286 00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.839 Beirute, knowing that Hesbela will be blamed for that. So the states for 287 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.839 Hesbalala actually are high. I mean, they don't want to be destroyed or 288 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:21.759 kicked out of Lebanon. This is Iran's influence in Lebanon, and so they're 289 00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:26.359 not so keen to go to war and either as the United States, I 290 00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:30.319 would say, of the three parties, Israel is probably the party that would 291 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:34.640 favor war more than the others because they have, you know, many of 292 00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:41.920 their residents are evacuated. And on top of that, they have a lot 293 00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:47.079 of troops already called up, they're trained from Gaza. They're in kind of 294 00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:49.880 war mode. The countries in war mode. The Americans, you know, 295 00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:56.079 the warships are here for backing. We've had a dry run already with the 296 00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:02.079 attack from Iran. So you know, for Israel, though, the Prime 297 00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:04.279 Minister and the Defense Minister say they're going to get to plant and safe champ. 298 00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:07.640 If you look at any of the three parties, Israel's kind of the 299 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:14.319 strongest motive to go to war, all right, and the not bright spot. 300 00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:18.000 But maybe the positive thing that I'm going to have as my takeaway from 301 00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:22.559 today is that you said that it sounds like the operation in Rafa is going 302 00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:25.519 to wind down in the next couple of weeks and we'll see what happens after 303 00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:30.000 that. Yes, absolutely, I mean we heard it first from the military 304 00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:34.440 leaders and then the Prime minister. It is it should wrap up in the 305 00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:38.680 next two or three weeks, and by the way, without a major assault 306 00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:45.160 on the city and with most of the civilians having fled, and that horrible 307 00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:51.279 scenario of the world was worried about with tens of thousands of civilians killed did 308 00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:55.079 not happen. Well, that is another positive thing then, Jordanna Miller, 309 00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:57.200 thank you so much for the information, and we'll check in with you again 310 00:23:57.319 --> 00:24:00.839 very soon, because we know you're following this very closely and we need to 311 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:04.680 keep learning about it. Talk too. All right, take care, Let's 312 00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:07.880 get back to some of the stories coming out of the CAMFI twenty four hour 313 00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.920 newsroom. Three Jewish students at UCLA have asked a judge to make the university 314 00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:15.839 ban pro Palestinian camps on campus. So students first filed a lawsuit in May 315 00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:22.039 accusing the university of allowing anti Semitic activities on school grounds. Attorney Jordan Varberg 316 00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:25.480 says his clients and other Jewish students were blocked from entering certain parts of the 317 00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:27.839 campus for up to a week. The UCLA is aware of the lawsuit. 318 00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:33.880 They filed an appearance in the case. We have not heard their substantive response 319 00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.799 to the allegations yet, he says. A motion filed Monday asked the court 320 00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.359 to make sure Jewish students have equal access to the school. A judge is 321 00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.240 expected to hear from both the university and the Jewish students next month.

Of course, the presidential debate is just 350 00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:59.880 a few hours away, coming up on Handle in the news, Bill's Gonna 351 00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:03.799 Wait and on that World's Best Steaks dot com has come out with its twenty 352 00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:07.079 twenty four list of the best steaks in the whole wide world. We checked 353 00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:14.359 out the list and found that one of those is not only in La, 354 00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:18.640 not only in the USA, but it's one of the best in the country. 355 00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:26.160 But it's here in La. It's world renowned chef curtistone Gwen on Sunset 356 00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:27.920 Boulevard. We got to catch up with Curtis Stone, and I have to 357 00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:30.720 tell you we did get to talk to Curtis, but it was in the 358 00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:36.160 kitchen at his restaurant and there are big old industrial fans going because all of 359 00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:40.039 his steaks are cooked on an open flame. So the fans are going because 360 00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:44.119 of course safety first, so there are some background noise. But ladies and 361 00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:47.720 gentlemen, Curtis Stone and thanks for letting us come out to check out Gwen 362 00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:49.880 and your fabulous steaks. Oh you're so welcome. How you know I am 363 00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:55.000 great? So I want to hear about this fabulous restaurant of yours. Tell 364 00:27:55.079 --> 00:27:59.319 us about what makes Gwen so great that it got ranked one of the best 365 00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:00.519 in the whole world. Well, look, I think when it comes to 366 00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:06.119 eating steak, there's everything that happens before it gets to the chef, and 367 00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:08.839 that's really important. That goes right back to the farmer, a rancher, 368 00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:12.720 right, Like what breed of cattle is it? What feed does that feed 369 00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:17.640 on? At what point is the animal harvested? How long is it aged 370 00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:21.440 for? Because we dry age all of our meats, so that's all farmer 371 00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:26.720 and butcher work. And then we get a wonderful quality steak given to us 372 00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:29.480 in the kitchen. Look at this beauty, isn't that great? So what 373 00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:32.759 you want to see here is a nice layer of fat over the top of 374 00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:37.240 it and then beautiful marbling throughout all of that it does. Yeah, so 375 00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.519 that gives it all of its richness. So this is preakstone is the ranch 376 00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:45.599 that we get it from. Where's that the middle of the country. So 377 00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:52.240 it's it's a beautiful quality beef. And we love cooking bridge absolutely, going 378 00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:55.160 and you're a stickler for this kind of thing, like making sure that you're 379 00:28:55.200 --> 00:29:00.519 sourcing it and getting it from good places so that it's sustainably done. That's 380 00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:03.279 a big thing we do right, and we get the best. It doesn't 381 00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:04.880 matter where it comes from. We buy grass fed out of Australia. I 382 00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:08.839 bring in the best wag you. This is grain fed from the United States. 383 00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:12.240 So I just you know, it's all about the quality, okay. 384 00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:15.920 And then of course, once you get a good piece of steak, it's 385 00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:18.680 about how you cook it. So here, when we cook everything over like 386 00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:22.119 fire, okay, so it's not done in ovens or on hand suit or 387 00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:26.359 anything. It's grilled and an oven being straight over, so very primal way 388 00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.599 of cooking. We've been cooking over fire for a long period of time. 389 00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:33.519 We burn apple wood here at at the restaurant, and that gives you a 390 00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:37.519 really hot hot, cold, well even the cold smell. Bit, Yeah, 391 00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:41.519 they do. And you don't want it too smoking something like hickory or 392 00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:45.000 mesquite might be too rich in terms of the flavor of that smoke. So 393 00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:47.759 I'll show you. I'll tell you more about the fire when you get there. 394 00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:49.799 Okay. The first thing you need to do is season your steak really 395 00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:53.599 well generously. Okay. Watch all the cooking shows and they say you've got 396 00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:56.400 to salt stuff, you gotta smelt it. Well, I'm a good support 397 00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:00.839 for cooking shows. I like that given me in business. So then you 398 00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:06.920 season all corners and as well with pepper, and just salt and pepper. 399 00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.480 I don't see anything else here being prepped, no other dry rub, and 400 00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:15.359 you season all of that steak. If you were to feel it, you'd 401 00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:19.119 feel it's at room temperature. So that's important. So it's called tempering the 402 00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:23.559 beef because you want the inside to get beautifully pink. You don't want to 403 00:30:23.559 --> 00:30:26.200 be gray on the outside, red in the middle. And you know, 404 00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:30.640 so medium rere can mean lots of different things, but for us, tempering 405 00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:33.559 the meat is important. If you let it come up to room temperature, 406 00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:37.039 it'll take much more even then, okay, okay for cooking on your ground. 407 00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:40.480 So let's go out to the fire. So you take that. We're 408 00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:42.720 going to put fat side down first, okay, And you see the little 409 00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:45.960 basket next to it, that's called a brassiro Okay. And it's gonna get 410 00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:51.519 really loud here for a second because we're under the fans. Do neither fans 411 00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:55.200 or we'd start a befoire. So we heard you did that one time. 412 00:30:55.759 --> 00:31:00.200 Oh yeah, it's happened. It's happened a couple of times. That's with 413 00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:03.799 drag some of that col over, and then we pop the steak straight on, 414 00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:08.599 fat side down. We're gonna let that fat just render and caramelize, 415 00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:11.480 okay, and then we'll turn it so we're gonna get all of that delicious 416 00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:17.839 flavor from the smoke, just whispering up and tickling the steak and giving it 417 00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:22.480 a wonderful seat tickling, and then to get that steak to the perfection that 418 00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:26.440 it will be about how long does it take to cook a steak like that? 419 00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:29.759 Will probably take us about thirty five minutes to call wow, and what's 420 00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:33.279 that cut? Now that's a New York strip. It shouldn't take that long. 421 00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:37.160 But let me explain it. We cook it over a hot fire, 422 00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:40.960 so we want that rich caramelization. But then we take it off and let 423 00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:42.880 it rest, then we put it back on. Let me take it off 424 00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:45.240 and let it rest a second time, and then we put it back on. 425 00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:48.000 So we literally cook it in three stages. I haven't heard of that 426 00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:52.200 check. The people always talk about resting protein at the end of the cooking 427 00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:56.559 process, but you should rest it in between during the cooking process as well. 428 00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:00.480 Okay, so we're gonna let that cook yep, and then we're going 429 00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:05.720 to talk a little more about when, because you have something special going on. 430 00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:08.160 I know that you used to have a lunch service and then COVID hit 431 00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:12.880 and wrecked everything. That's right, and so you're still not open for lunch, 432 00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:16.039 but you're reintroducing something that I think people are going to really like and 433 00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:20.640 tell us what that is. So we were making sandwiches at one point here 434 00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:23.160 at when for the lunch hours and everybody loved them. Oh why that? 435 00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:25.680 Well, we were doing over one hundred a day, so it's not really 436 00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:30.640 hard to manage. So what we've done is we've developed three new sandwiches. 437 00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:34.839 They're all braised meat, so braised beef, braised duck, and braised chicken. 438 00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:38.960 So they're hot, they're warm, and like absolutely delicious. We make 439 00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:43.440 homemade, we make the bread, we make the salami that goes into them, 440 00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:46.880 we literally make it all and they're just so delicious. Okay, And 441 00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:52.240 so that is being reintroduced and it's just for takeaway only. It's not for 442 00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:53.559 Dina. That's right. You can come and pick one up. And it's 443 00:32:53.559 --> 00:33:00.279 starting today, so those yeah, and for the first fifty customers, we're 444 00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:02.400 going to give them a free sandwich. So today, tomorrow and Saturday, 445 00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:07.279 Okay, fifty guests they get to eat for free. So we just want 446 00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:08.720 to party with these new seventh They're going to be really cool. And then 447 00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:12.880 are you going to be doing the sandwich service daily or is it weekdays or 448 00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:15.000 how's that going to move forward? Tuesday through Saturday. Tuesday, I'm from 449 00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:19.759 eleven AM and Silk Suit q A. We are out and about with world 450 00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:23.519 renowned chef Curtis Stone at his restaurant Gwen in Hollywood, and the fourth of 451 00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:27.680 July is coming up. Oh yeah, And so for people who are trying 452 00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:30.960 to cook the perfect steak at home, you've given us some great tips. 453 00:33:30.960 --> 00:33:34.279 So are there any things that people really just need to remember as they're doing 454 00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:36.599 their steaks over the fourth of July? First, well, listen, we 455 00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:39.000 have a great butcher shop here at Gwen too, so you literally enter the 456 00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:42.960 restaurant through the butcher shop, so you can come and pick up steaks from 457 00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:45.680 us, or if you're too far, that's fine, but do start with 458 00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:51.599 a good quality cut of beef hot grill. That's the first really important part. 459 00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:55.559 Let your steak temper season it before you put it on the grill. 460 00:33:55.720 --> 00:33:59.640 Okay, turn it once, and then take it off and let it rest 461 00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:01.920 for about five to ten minutes. Put it back on the grill for another 462 00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:05.920 two or three minutes, and turn it again, and that's it. Serve 463 00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:08.320 it very simply, and that's that trick. You got to let it rest 464 00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:12.960 in the middle, and then you're going to have a steak that is curdised, 465 00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:16.880 stoneworthy, awesome. See how it's gotten beautiful and golden brown on the 466 00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:21.320 top. So that's the fact that we've rendered and caramelized. So that's going 467 00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:24.320 to be absolutely delicious. And then you stick it down. The one thing 468 00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:28.840 that we tend to do with meat we put on the grill is we poke 469 00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:30.639 it and prod it, and we touch it and we turn it. Just 470 00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:34.280 leave it. Don't do that. Nothing's going to happen to it, right 471 00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:37.960 Give it that minute to two minutes without touching it, because what's happening is 472 00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:43.440 you're making contact with a really hot grill and that smoke that's coming up that 473 00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:46.880 leeds time for the caramelization to set, so don't mess with it. Just 474 00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:51.039 give it a minute or two and then turn it. Okay. It sounds 475 00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:53.679 so easy, and I also love that you can hear your excitement. You've 476 00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:58.119 been doing this for a really long time and you're so excited about it and 477 00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:01.599 it's infectious. Thank you again, Curtis Stone. We went out and about 478 00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:07.639 to gwen La. It's on Sunset Boulevard. You can see the steak that 479 00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:12.679 Curtis cooked for me and see the interview that we just did on my Instagram 480 00:35:12.719 --> 00:35:15.079 at Amy K King and of course I would love for you to follow me. 481 00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:19.480 You can also find it at a KFI AM six forty, or you 482 00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:23.880 can follow Curtis at Curtis Stone or follow the restaurant at gwen La.

Let's get back to some of the 489 00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:51.920 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A new poll says 490 00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:54.960 we can expect high TV ratings for the first debate between President Biden and former 491 00:35:55.000 --> 00:36:00.000 President Trump. ABC's actually it's the first one in four years. ABC's Mary 492 00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:05.840 Bruce says the latest national poll from Quinnipiac University predicts more than seventy percent of 493 00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:07.760 voters are going to be watching tonight.
