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 --> 00:00:13.439 demand on the iHeartRadio app k f I and kost In HT two Los Angeles, 3 00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:36.920 Orange County and yours Amy Kay, Good Monday morning to you. It's 4 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.840 five o'clock, straight up. This is your wake up call for April First. 5 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:45.479 I'm Amy King. Hope you had a nice easter. It was sort 6 00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.359 of a relaxing one for me. We had lots of rain, so it's 7 00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:53.039 just sort of chill and with stores closed, it's a nice relaxing date. 8 00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:57.240 So if you're ready to get stressed out, it's two weeks until tax day. 9 00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.520 If you haven't done your filing yet. I chalked to my little brother 10 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.079 yesterday and he's like, I haven't even started. I was like, oh 11 00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.920 my god, I'd be freaking out. Also, it's April Fool's Day, 12 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.519 so keep your guard up. You never know who's going to try to get 13 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:12.599 you. Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. Section of Highway one in 14 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:19.719 Big sur collapsed, closing the roadway, trapping about sixteen hundred residents and tourists. 15 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.519 Heavy rains sent chunks of the roadway into the ocean below. The roadway 16 00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:27.280 is partially reopened, but getting in and out a big sur is going to 17 00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:32.159 be a challenge for a while. Israeli troops have pulled out of the Sifa 18 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:36.400 Hospital complex and the Gaza Strip following a two week raid in which officials say 19 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:41.200 two hundred Hamas militants were killed and hundreds more were detained. We're going to 20 00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:46.400 be getting the latest on that and also ships taking aid that are making their 21 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:51.120 way into the Gaza Strip. With ABC's Geordana Miller coming up at five twenty. 22 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:53.840 You've heard of the leap year, Well, that's where we get an 23 00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:59.200 extra day. ABC's Jim Ryan says, hold on a second. We've got 24 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.319 another issue with time that's coming up at five thirty five. Lots more coming 25 00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:07.200 up, including getting money back from soakow Gas and SOCl Edison and answering the 26 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.199 age old question of how the heck do you boil your eggs so the shells 27 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:14.879 come off easily? I know, we cover the really important things here on 28 00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:19.120 Wakeup Call at six oh five, it's handle on the news. The first 29 00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:23.159 piece of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge has been removed from the water in 30 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.240 Baltimore. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI 31 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.879 twenty four hour newsroom. The weekend storm sets some record rainfall or rainfall records. 32 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:36.560 Rather the National Weather Services, Downtown La set a record on Saturday one 33 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.120 point seven three inches of rain that breaks the record of one point twenty seven 34 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:46.240 inches back in nineteen forty six. Lax got one point eight seven inches, 35 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.960 and Long Beach Airport set a record with one point eight six inches. Palmdale 36 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.719 and Lancaster also set records, and several record lows were reported in Orange County 37 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:59.280 yesterday. The storm also caused some power outages, road flooding, and caused 38 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.639 a tree to fall on it house in Long Beach. A man's been arrested 39 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:06.919 following a police shooting in Boyle Heights. The officers found a car stopped in 40 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.120 the middle of the street last night near First end Vicente Fernandez Streets with the 41 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:15.000 doors open. While they were investigating, they say they saw a man with 42 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.039 a gun. Shots were fired. No one was hit. The guy police 43 00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:22.439 shot at ran but he was caught and arrested. A fourth Navy crane is 44 00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.240 arriving in Baltimore to help clear the wreckage of the Francis scott Key Bridge. 45 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:30.159 Over the weekend, salvage teams hoisted two hundred tons of debris out of the 46 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:37.719 Patapsco River in a complex operation which involves cutting and removing the mingled trusses one 47 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:43.680 section at a time. Abc'sm Win says a temporary channel will be opened to 48 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.879 let cargo ships safely get around the collapse, but it's not clear how long 49 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:52.560 that will take. The search for for missing construction workers can also resume once 50 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.439 the debris is cleared. A barge has hit a bridge over the Arkansas River 51 00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:00.879 in Oklahoma. State troopers closed US Highway fifty nine Saturday and diverted traffic away 52 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:05.639 from the area. A State Patrol spokesperson says the bridge will stay closed until 53 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:14.159 it can be inspected. Tens of thousands of Israelis have gathered outside the Parliament 54 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:18.000 building in Jerusalem to protest the war in Gaza. Demonstrators have urged the Israeli 55 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.839 government to reach a deal to free the dozens of hostages still held by Hamas 56 00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:27.519 in Gaza and to hold early elections. The country is largely in support of 57 00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.160 the war, but families at the hostages say they believe time is running out. 58 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:35.879 Prime Minister Netanyahu says calling new elections before a victory in Gaza would paralyze 59 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:42.920 Israel and hinder hostage negotiations. The Powerball jackpot has grown to almost a billion 60 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.800 dollars. There was no grand prize winner from Saturday Nights drawing, so tonight's 61 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:51.160 jackpot is up to nine hundred and seventy five million dollars. Your odds of 62 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:57.360 striking it rich about one in two hundred and ninety two million. Let's say 63 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:02.000 good morning to ABC's Mike us eight. Mike My, How time flies? 64 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.680 Gmail is twenty years old today. Yeah, the Big two to oh for 65 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:11.439 Gmail, for Google's email client, launched on April first, two thousand and 66 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.120 four, and people actually thought that this was an April Fool's joke when it 67 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.439 launched, Amy because nobody believed we could have it, so sort of that 68 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.759 was part of it. One part of it was that Larry Page and Sarah 69 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:27.519 gay Brinn were kind of no strangers to putting out jokey press releases on April 70 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.879 Fool's Day, as many companies have come to do over the past twenty years 71 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.680 or so. But also because you're right, Gmail made a huge promise one 72 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:40.319 gigabyte of free storage. Now, in today's world, that sounds like nothing, 73 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.959 right, You can go buy an iPhone with a terabyte of storage if 74 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.040 you are so inclined. But in two thousand and four, a gigabyte of 75 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:50.639 storage just for email was unheard of. Most of its competitors, hot Mail 76 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:57.800 and Yahoo and the like really only offered about fifteen megabytes of storage that's the 77 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:01.279 equivalent of about thirty to six the emails, which meant that people had to 78 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:06.480 constantly attend to their inboxes deleting things to allow new emails to come in. 79 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:12.160 Well, now Google is offering a gigabyte of storage that's the equivalent of about 80 00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:16.040 thirteen thousand, five hundred emails, so that you didn't really need to do 81 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:20.800 that. Email became this much more casual communication style, to the point where 82 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:27.279 Google on its original launch didn't even have a delete button on sort of the 83 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.680 main menu of Gmail because they thought you didn't really need it if you had 84 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:34.839 this much storage. Isn't that weird? How time had times have changed? 85 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:42.079 I can't imagine not having a couple thousand emails in my inbox right, And 86 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.160 when was the last time you went through and deleted emails? In your inbox, 87 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.399 because for me, at least, it was a really long time ago. 88 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:54.160 I don't really need to do that because I just have seemingly infinite storage. 89 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:59.480 And just to speak to how much has changed over the past twenty years 90 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:04.399 or so, Gmail, the free tier of Gmail at least offers fifteen gigabytes 91 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:10.480 of storage now, which just speaks to exactly how much more we're doing over 92 00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:15.879 email and how much more we're sending to each other using this service. Again, 93 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:20.480 it kind of just goes back to how Gmail changed how we communicate online. 94 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:25.959 It allowed email to become this much more casual service. You could chat 95 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:30.360 with your friends without having to be concerned about these emails taking up too much 96 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.560 space. And interestingly enough, in the intervening twenty years, those conversations are 97 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:39.399 now taking place on social media or in group chats. So while Google did 98 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:44.199 sort of shake up the communications game online twenty years ago, it has since 99 00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.519 been shaken up by other companies like Google, like Facebook and you know, 100 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:51.319 Snapchat and what have you. Yeah, So I do remember once when email 101 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:55.759 kind of caught hold that that's how you did communicate if you weren't going to 102 00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:59.639 be on the phone. And now I almost never do personal emails on my 103 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.639 email, Right, it's kind of weird to communicate with your friends using just 104 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:05.160 email. Now, it's kind of like, why aren't you texting me? 105 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.279 But that is not to say that, you know, email is not useful 106 00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:15.839 anymore. As people have now sort of drafted off of email as a casual 107 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:20.920 communication service, it has allowed services like Gmail to become a much more formalized 108 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.560 and business sort of centric service, and many people have taken to it. 109 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:31.199 One point eight billion people or users use Gmail in some capacity. That is 110 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.799 one seventh of the global population. So it is a hugely popular product for 111 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.080 Google. That's really weird because I think I have a Gmail account. I 112 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.879 never use it, I never open it, and I don't know anybody. 113 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:46.679 I know one person who uses Gmail on a regular basis interesting. Well, 114 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.120 so I would say that's that's interesting to hear, because in talking to people 115 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.639 about Gmail this morning, I found that people use it for a whole host 116 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.320 of different things. Right. ABC Disney gives us an Outlook account, which 117 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.600 is, you know, competitor to Google. Of course, that's where I 118 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.919 put all my work emails. My personal emails, which now amount to pretty 119 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.759 much just newsletters, go to my Gmail account, so that's what I use 120 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:15.159 it for. But the person I live with that her office runs on Gmail. 121 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:20.600 It is nothing but Google software products in that particular workspace. My parents 122 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:26.000 like to send themselves things over Gmail just so that they can have a record 123 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:30.000 of them, recipes and places to go in that sort of thing. These 124 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.759 were never sort of what Gmail was intended to be. It was meant to 125 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.600 be a communication service, of course, but people have found that use case 126 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.919 and again it's just a sort of testament to the changing nature of communication online, 127 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.600 and it of course brings up what the next twenty years of Gmail are 128 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.440 going to look like. Google itself has played around with bringing artificial intelligence features 129 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:56.840 into Gmail, allowing their large language model Gemini, to draft emails for you, 130 00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:01.480 which of course brings up some questions about you're a c and misinformation and 131 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.039 what have you. But it does seem like that is where the industry is 132 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:07.320 going as we talk about the future of email. Yeah, the AI think 133 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.879 freaks me out because I know you can do like an automated response, but 134 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:15.120 I think we were talking with our tech guy about that, and I was 135 00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:22.480 saying that I was worried that if you had the AI respond for you. 136 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.600 You wouldn't necessarily know what it was, what was in it, or you 137 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.159 wouldn't remember because you didn't compose it yourself. Sure, you're certainly less close 138 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:37.360 to the product. And many have complained that having AI draft anything creates this 139 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:43.919 level of impersonality, which is particularly in ironic given that Gmail, again at 140 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.080 its origin, was sort of meant to be this very personal means by which 141 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:52.879 to communicate with your friends. So it's interesting. It is just one particular 142 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:56.759 avenue that Google could go down with its email client, but it is you 143 00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:01.000 know, certainly something that they're focused on, something that entire tech world is 144 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.720 focused on. Microsoft, for example, is bringing co pilot, which is 145 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:09.240 its artificial intelligence service, to its suite of software products. It's office products, 146 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.480 things like Outlooks. So that is just another sort of element to this. 147 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:18.600 Interestingly enough, because of AI concerns and how you know, companies train 148 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.879 large language models, Disney, which is the parent company of ABC News, 149 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.399 does not allow us to use Copilot on our business accounts. So again something 150 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:31.559 that companies need to reckon with as they confront this new sort of very AI 151 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:35.039 centric future. Yeah, so for now, happy birthday to Gmail. And 152 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:39.200 here's to the next twenty years. Absolutely have birthday Gmail. Thank you so 153 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.480 much, Mike Debuski, appreciate it. Figure right, let's get back to 154 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:43.879 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room. 155 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:48.200 Fast food workers in California are going to be paid at least twenty dollars an 156 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.919 hour starting today. Several fast food chains say they're going to hike prices immediately. 157 00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:54.919 Everything, even the tator thoughts everything. The price is going to increase 158 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.919 in that that guy owns a catering business and says he has to raise price 159 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:03.519 is to keep workers. This worker say she needs the raise. Our cost 160 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:09.080 of living is rising too fast and we just can't catch them. Other companies 161 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.200 have announced plans to automate, layoff workers or reduce hours. Pizza Hut already 162 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:18.720 laid off all of its delivery drivers because of the anticipated pay increase. Two 163 00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.960 people have been killed in a crash of a single engine plane in northern California, 164 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:26.279 ABC's Jacqueline Lease as the plane went down in a wooded area on Saturday. 165 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:31.720 The plane crashing while attempting to land at Trucky Tahoe Airport. Light snow 166 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:37.120 falling in the area at the time. Silicon Valley fund Up West says their 167 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:41.799 senior advisor and his wife were killed in the crash. Both were well known 168 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:46.480 tech entrepreneurs. Godzilla and Kong have destroyed the competition at the box office. 169 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:52.120 The new Empire opened with eighty million dollars this weekend. Godzilla and Kong demolished 170 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.279 the second place finisher, Ghostbusters Frozen Empire.

We're going to be paying higher 190 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:28.360 prices almost immediately, including at McDonald's, Chipotle, and a lot of workers 191 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.679 are going to get laid off. All state offices are closed today for the 192 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:37.559 observance of Caesar Chavez Day.

LA City and County offices are going to 194 00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:46.360 be open because they observed the holiday last Monday. The iconic Tropacana resort on 195 00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:50.480 the Las Vegas Strip is closing. It's been open for sixty six years, 196 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:56.080 but it'll close its doors tomorrow and then we'll be demolished to make room for 197 00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:00.159 a new baseball stadium. The Oakland A's have announced plans to move tow Las 198 00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:03.320 Vegas at six o five. It's handle on the news. Getting to Big 199 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.120 sur is pretty difficult right now unless you're a resident, still going to be 200 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.440 kind of hard. Bill's going to tell you why. Right now, let's 201 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:13.039 say good morning to ABC's Jordana Miller. We've got a couple of big things, 202 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.799 Jordana. One is some help is on the way for Palestinians, and 203 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.720 the others that Israeli troops have pulled out of the Sifa Hospital Complax after two 204 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:26.480 weeks. So first let's talk about, hopefully the positive news, and that 205 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:31.440 is getting aid to the Palestinian people. That's right, Let's start on a 206 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:37.639 positive note. There was a three ship flotilla that left Larnaca, the port 207 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:45.559 in Cyprus, this weekend and has set sail for Northern Gaza. It's expected 208 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:50.639 to arrive tomorrow, possibly early Wednesday morning. It's going to dock at a 209 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:58.000 temporary jetty that's been built there and it's carrying four hundred tons of food that 210 00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:07.000 is right, some flour, canned protein, proteins and vegetables. The eight 211 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:10.720 Ship is being funded by the United Arab Emirates and it's being run by the 212 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:15.360 World Central Kitchen. This is their second maritime aid mission. They say they're 213 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:19.559 going to be able to make about a million meals. That sounds like a 214 00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:25.960 huge number, but you consider there's two hundred and fifty thousand people in Northern 215 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.159 Gaza alone that are starving or close to it. That's only a few meals 216 00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:36.399 actually, and a few days worth of food. Still the best way to 217 00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:41.679 get food in is by land. You know, if Israel would open its 218 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:47.879 crossings directly from its territory into northern Gaza, that would be a huge help. 219 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.799 But that just hasn't happened yet. Okay. And we've talked to your 220 00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:56.399 Dana before about the challenge of actually delivering the aid so it gets to people 221 00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:00.480 and keep keeping the people who are delivered it or making the meals keeping them 222 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:06.240 safe. Have they kind of figured that out? Well, it looks like 223 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:15.759 the World Central Kitchen its workers are working essentially with the Israelis and some local 224 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:23.440 some local personnel who are helping to safely deliver and distribute the aid. So 225 00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:30.079 far, there haven't been problems with There were no problems with the first AID 226 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:34.359 mission that carried about two hundred tons of food, So there's you know, 227 00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:41.279 some hope that what was working then will work again. But it remains one 228 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:48.680 of the trickiest parts of getting food into people's hands, and that is safely 229 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:53.920 unloading the aid and then safely distributing it. Because we've seen so much aid 230 00:17:55.160 --> 00:18:00.880 looted, convoys coming under attack. Sometimes that leads to the death of people 231 00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:06.799 who are around these convoys trying to get food, So that still remains a 232 00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:10.960 major challenge. Yeah, and even the civilians who are so desperate to get 233 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:15.599 food going and basically attacking the trucks to get to the food. I mean, 234 00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:21.799 they they're starving. You know, it's really these are desperate scenes and 235 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:26.240 they're heartbreaking scenes. And there's also a lot of bad actors in God that 236 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.599 we have to you know, we have to report on every part of this 237 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:34.119 story. And that's one of the ugly truths is that Hamas and it's supporters 238 00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:41.039 and also just gangs are taking over convoys, killing people, stealing aid. 239 00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:48.359 You know, it's not new to conflicts. This happens in every conflict where 240 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:53.400 AID goes in, so you know, but Hamas has a certain hold over 241 00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:59.160 the Gods Strip because it ran every aspect of life there. And people are 242 00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:07.599 afraid to even work with NGOs anything related to the Israeli security forces because they 243 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:12.640 will be labeled as collaborators by Hamas and can lose their lives. That's one 244 00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:17.640 of the problems. Yeah, like we'll talk about so often. It's everything 245 00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:21.960 so complicated. There's just no easy solution, even if on the surface it's 246 00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:23.680 like just get the food in, but it's so much more complicated than that. 247 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:29.559 Israeli troops have pulled out of the Israeli troops are now pulling out of 248 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.960 the Shifa hospital complex. We're just getting that word and what's going on with 249 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:38.319 that. That's right, the idea ISA. It's wrapped up what began as 250 00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:44.960 a surprise raid on the hospital where the Idea says hamasen regrouped and then it 251 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:51.400 lasted two weeks. They have just pulled their troops out overnight. Now for 252 00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:56.240 Israel, this is being touted as one of the most successful operations of the 253 00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:03.559 war. In one location, they were able to kill several senior HAMAS commanders 254 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.880 and dozens of fighters. They were also able to arrest five hundred militants that 255 00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:15.039 they say are on their list of you know, identifiable members of Hamas and 256 00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:19.759 Palestinian Islamic Jihad. They got a lot of intel. They also confiscated piles 257 00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:26.400 of weapons three million dollars in cash. There was intense combat in the maternity 258 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.559 wards, in the emergency wards. I mean, this hospital has been very 259 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:37.359 damaged and it was only partially operative before the raid. But as the ideas 260 00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:41.200 has pulled out and we see Palestinians returning to the area, there is literally 261 00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:49.799 a ring of destroyed and flattened buildings around the Al Shifa Medical complex. And 262 00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:55.039 you know, we had heard from Palestinians during the operation that they were being 263 00:20:55.079 --> 00:21:00.400 asked to leave buildings that were right near the hospital complex. And it peers 264 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.880 that is real. You know, fought with militants in some of these buildings 265 00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:11.920 and then destroyed them. And they're also finding body strewn you know, in 266 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:18.559 the outside area of the hospital, the courtyard inside, I mean really just 267 00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:23.880 pictures of you know, horrible pictures of destruction and war as the IDF leaves. 268 00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:29.480 Yeah, and that is what war is and so yeah, I think 269 00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:33.839 we should fixate on the positive and hope that that gets in and gets some 270 00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:37.039 food to the Palestinians and then they figure this out and get it ended. 271 00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:41.279 Thank you, Jordana, appreciate all the information. Talk soon. All right, 272 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:44.680 let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 273 00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:48.039 four hour newsroom. All the rains caused part of Highway one in Big Sur 274 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:52.039 to collapse. Officials say as many as sixteen hundred people were left trapped and 275 00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:56.279 isolated by the damage. On Saturday. Linda Molinari says she and her boyfriend 276 00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:59.880 had lunch in Big Sur and then had to spend the night in their camp. 277 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.480 It was really hard when the firefighters said, oh, you get to 278 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:07.000 sleep here tonight. Sorry, it's not going to open. Some cars were 279 00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:11.519 escorted out yesterday afternoon. Caltrends says convoys will lead mainly residents through the closure 280 00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:15.599 area each day at eight am and four pm. A trip to Tokyo has 281 00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:19.599 inspired an LA City Council member to see new potential for the metro system. 282 00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:23.480 Following a trip to Paris with a delegation led by Mayor Karen Bass as preparation 283 00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:26.839 for the twenty twenty eight Olympics, three LA City Council members went on to 284 00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:32.519 another previous host city, Tokyo. Councilwoman Katie Arslovsky, describes the transit in 285 00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:36.519 the Japanese capital as incredible. What struck me was how active, safe and 286 00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:40.160 clean the stations were. Some of the best food we ate was underground in 287 00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:44.559 the Tokyo station. Yarslovski said it last week's Metro Board of Directors meeting that 288 00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:48.400 she and fellow council members Paul Kerkryan and Tracy Park were moved to envision how 289 00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:51.720 to activate stations in LA like the ones they saw in Tokyo in time for 290 00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:56.000 the twenty twenty eight Games. Michael Monks KFI News AT and T says a 291 00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:00.799 data breach has exposed information of more than seventy million customers. ATNT says that 292 00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:03.799 ninety percent are former accounts. The data appears to be from twenty nineteen or 293 00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:08.359 earlier. ATNT says they're reaching out to those former customers, resetting the passcodes 294 00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:12.960 for current account holders, and working with cybersecurity experts. ABC's Mary Alice Park 295 00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:18.039 says customer information, including social security numbers, has been found on the dark 296 00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.480 web and TNT says it's not known if the data originated from the company or 297 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.400 one of its vendors. President Biden and the First Lady are welcoming about forty 298 00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.039 thousand people to the White House for the annual Easter egg Roll. It's a 299 00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:34.440 tradition that dates back to eighteen seventy eight. The American Egg Board has donated 300 00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:38.920 about sixty four thousand eggs for the event on the South Lawn. You know, 301 00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:45.039 tax Day is just one week away. But here's something that's kind of 302 00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:48.839 interesting. There are a lot of people who have money just kind of waiting 303 00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:55.160 to be refunded by the IRS. It's temp typically low income earners who are 304 00:23:55.200 --> 00:24:00.920 eligible to get taxes withheld from their paychecks, but they don't get the money 305 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:03.759 back unless they file a return, and they might not file the return because 306 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:06.519 they didn't think that they had to because they didn't make enough money that year. 307 00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:11.200 About eighty eight thousand, two hundred Californians who didn't file returns in twenty 308 00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:18.119 twenty have just a little while left to reclaim their ninety four point two million 309 00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.799 dollars. It's about eight hundred and thirty five dollars per filer on average, 310 00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:25.799 and of course these as I mentioned, these are people who didn't file tax 311 00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:30.519 returns for twenty twenty. And I believe the deadline is like May seventeenth to 312 00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:33.680 get that and if you don't file the return to get the money back, 313 00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:41.079 I RIS keeps it. A section of Highway one in Big Sur has collapsed, 314 00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:45.160 closing the roadway trapping about sixteen hundred residents and tourists. Heavy rains sent 315 00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:49.440 chunks of the roadway into the ocean below over the weekend. Israeli troops have 316 00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:53.279 pulled out of the Shifa hospital complex in the Gaza Strip, following a two 317 00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:57.400 week raid in which officials say two hundred Hamas militants were killed and hundreds more 318 00:24:57.440 --> 00:25:02.839 were detained. The military Mary has described the raid on Shifa as one of 319 00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:07.599 its most successful of the nearly six month war. Seven eleven has launched a 320 00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:11.759 new collection of sparkling waters. The flavors include lemon, lime, green apple, 321 00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:15.880 sweet orange, and one more hot dog hot dogs expected to launch today. 322 00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:22.000 Seven eleven says you can experience it's iconic big bite hot dog. They 323 00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:27.079 say it's a refreshing beverage ketchup and mustard included. But remember today is April 324 00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:30.559 first, at six oh five, it's handle on the news our weekend storm 325 00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:34.480 has moved out. But for fifty million people from Texas to Virginia, wild 326 00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:41.119 weather is just getting started at five point fifty. Getting that shipping channel cleared 327 00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:44.039 is a major priority at the White House. We're going to be talking with 328 00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:48.279 ABC's Karen Travers about what is going on in the waters right now, about 329 00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:52.160 progress being made. But right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Jim 330 00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:56.079 Ryan. Jim, this is going to take a second, yeah, idiot, 331 00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:00.200 and more of a second than it did the few years ago. Yeah. 332 00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.960 Okay, So what is the deal is we need to catch up to 333 00:26:04.039 --> 00:26:10.079 time because something's going on with the Earth's rotation, well, or let time 334 00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:14.559 catch up to us. More specifically, since I mean since the dawna time, 335 00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:19.240 people have been measuring time by the Earth's rotation, right from the time 336 00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:22.559 that the sun is at a certain spot in the sky until it's that that 337 00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:27.480 spot again is one day, right, twenty four divided by sixteen divided by 338 00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:33.240 sixteen, you get the length of a second. Okay, that's pretty simple 339 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:36.880 math, and they've been doing it for centuries and centuries. But when we 340 00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:41.839 started having atomic clocks. Back in the seventies, somebody noticed something that was 341 00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:45.599 that our seconds were that the Earth was starting to slow down just a bit, 342 00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:51.039 right, According to these atomic clocks, the Earth was getting a little 343 00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:55.000 slower. And so scientists or the folks at the and get this, the 344 00:26:55.039 --> 00:27:02.160 Internal Earth Rotation and Reference System Service started adding one second to universal coordinated time. 345 00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:04.480 Since nineteen seventy two, that's been done twenty seven times. Twenty seven 346 00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:10.799 leap seconds have been added to universal coordinated times Zulu time since nineteen seventy two. 347 00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:12.799 So this is nothing new. It's nothing new, but it's going in 348 00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:19.279 reverse this time because the Earth enigmatically has begun to turn a little bit faster. 349 00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:23.279 Before it was slowing down. Now it's turning a little bit faster than 350 00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:26.319 it was before for a lot of reasons, and here are some of them, 351 00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.240 just boiled down to a non science person like I am. So the 352 00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:33.160 ice caps are melting. Everybody knows that, right, We all know that 353 00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:37.079 the globe is getting warmer. Who's responsible is a whole different debate. But 354 00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:41.000 so the Earth is getting warmer, the ice caps are melting, that water 355 00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:45.039 is flowing down toward the equator. But the polar ice caps of the Earth 356 00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:51.599 neath the polar ice caps is elongating, So Earth is getting more like an 357 00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:56.680 egg shape and oval shape as opposed to a sphere. And picture an ice 358 00:27:56.680 --> 00:28:00.240 skater tucking her arms and legs in it and spinning faster and faster because she's 359 00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.400 tucked her arms like, well, we're getting our Earth is doing the same 360 00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:07.200 thing in her much slower pace, and so the Earth is going a little 361 00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:11.799 bit faster. So what scientists and the folks at the Internal Earth Rotation Reference 362 00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:17.119 System Service will have to do is to take a second away, perhaps as 363 00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:21.000 early as nineteen as twenty twenty nine, next five six years. Well, 364 00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:25.319 here's what I'm thinking. If it was going slower but now it's going faster, 365 00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:29.119 Yeah, we're just going to cancel out all those other changes. And 366 00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:33.880 it's totaling what twenty seven seconds over a course of fifty years, So what's 367 00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.039 the big deal? I suppose, Right, we're not doing it all at 368 00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.039 one time, but we're doing it incrementally, taking that second back, taking 369 00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:42.000 it back, take it back, And what does it all matter? Does 370 00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:45.759 it really matter at all? That's my question? What does it matter? 371 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:51.440 Because the phone in your GPS is telling you how to get to in and 372 00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:55.920 out burger using satellites. Wait, how do you know that, Jim, 373 00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:02.400 Because the satellite and the satellite has to know first of all, where it 374 00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:07.359 is in reference to your smartphone, also in reference to another satellite, one 375 00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:11.480 or two other satellites, maybe more, and it has to know precisely the 376 00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:17.480 exact time that it is on Earth. Okay, So without that, if 377 00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:22.000 there's some mismatch between the time on those satellites, for example, and the 378 00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:26.559 time that we have on our universal Coordinator clock, then that's going to screw 379 00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:30.000 things up a little bit in a big way. First of all, you'll 380 00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:34.279 miss in an out burger by a few blocks potentially, but satellites, you 381 00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:38.319 know, the missiles would fly off in the wrong directions. Everything that relies 382 00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:42.200 on satellites, navigation systems will be messed up. So it's an important thing, 383 00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:45.599 but it kind of happens behind the scenes. Okay, Well, we'll 384 00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:47.720 give you that. And when are they going to do this little reset? 385 00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:52.599 Well, the Earth is wobbling too, so it may be twenty twenty nine, 386 00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:56.519 it might be twenty thirty five. It's going to happen in the next 387 00:29:56.519 --> 00:29:59.079 few years. But we don't know when, and a lot of that has 388 00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:00.000 to do with the inner core of the Earth, and I'm not going to 389 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.920 go into that. Okay, good, but I'm sure that when it does 390 00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:06.240 happen, they're going to make a big to do about it, and we're 391 00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:08.440 all going to go, we just lost a second. Yeah, well, 392 00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:12.599 except that since nineteen seventy two they've added a leap second twenty seven times. 393 00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:15.240 Nobody really paid attention. Yeah, all right, Jim Ryan, thank you 394 00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:18.480 so much. All Right, it's all about time give me surprisefully over there 395 00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:21.839 in and out by the way, I'll fix them up for you. Thanks. 396 00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:25.200 All right. Okay, So we cover it all here on Wake Up 397 00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:30.640 Call. We cover obviously time, the rotation of the Earth. We talk 398 00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:36.640 about wars, and you know, Jim just mentioned that the egg the Earth 399 00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:40.839 is now becoming more like an egg, and so we're going to talk about 400 00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:45.200 hard boiled eggs. I don't this is ridiculous, but we came across this 401 00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:48.440 story and it I guess it's more relevant because there are a lot of people 402 00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:53.440 eating hard boiled eggs right now because Easter hello, and I personally love a 403 00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:56.319 good hard boiled egg. I have one with me today because I think they're 404 00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:00.279 a nice little protein punch, not a lot of calories, quick pick me 405 00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:04.640 up. But I hate peeling them, as I'm sure many of you are, 406 00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:07.599 And so I found an article that says how to do it, and 407 00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:11.920 do it correctly and just real quick. The article says, put baking soda 408 00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:19.160 in the water before you add your eggs. Shock them after you take them 409 00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:23.680 out of the boiling water, because that helps peel or pull the membrane back. 410 00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:29.440 And it says like gently tap the egg on a hard surface to make 411 00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:33.799 little cracks before you peel it off. And also it says during the peeling 412 00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:37.119 process, if you dip it in water, that helps. But then Michelle 413 00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:40.559 Keube says, oh, no, they got it all wrong. Well, 414 00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:45.400 they have some of it right. I've been doing this for twenty years and 415 00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:48.240 my grandma taught me how to do this more than twenty years now, and 416 00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:52.200 I believe your grandma over this article anytime from USA today. So for me, 417 00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:55.480 like it always, you gotta start with the eggs being at room temperature. 418 00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:56.440 So if they're in the refrigerator, you got to take them out and 419 00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.480 leave them. Okay, that's the first thing I'm doing. Ye on to 420 00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:02.839 boil. Let the water boil first. Don't put the eggs in first. 421 00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:06.079 Oh, I put the eggs in first. Yeah. No, And then 422 00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:09.279 when the water boils, I add like a tablespoon of kosher salt to the 423 00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:14.079 egg to the water. And then you put the eggs in one or two, 424 00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:15.839 one or two at a time with a slotted spoon. You kind of 425 00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:21.119 drop them in, you know, slowly into the boiling water so they don't 426 00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:22.680 crack, so they don't well, so they don't. And then don't crowd 427 00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:25.200 them. You can't put too many in at the you know, you don't 428 00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:30.279 want to put a whole bunch in there. One it when it boils again, 429 00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:32.119 because as you put the eggs in, the boil will probably stop. 430 00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:37.960 It'll boil up again. Once it boils again, put a cover on it 431 00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:39.839 and turn off it. Yeah, cover it and doing it all wrong. 432 00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:44.880 Cover it and turn off the heat and let it sit for twenty minutes. 433 00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:47.160 Okay, I'm doing that right. Yeah. So once you're once the twenty 434 00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:51.559 minutes is up, get a big bowl with some water and pack it with 435 00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:53.480 a bunch of ice, and then you put the eggs in the ice bath, 436 00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:57.400 one by one or two by two, However, you do it with 437 00:32:57.400 --> 00:33:00.079 the spoon and let it sit in that ice bath or ten minutes. That'll 438 00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:05.440 shock the membrane away from the egg itself. Okay, and Nick POULIOCHANI do 439 00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:07.519 you know this technique already? It was funny because I was gonna say so, 440 00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:10.920 I have a derivative of what Michelle was taught, the same thing. 441 00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:16.119 But I start out with the eggs in the cold water, and that's wrong. 442 00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:20.039 But it's funny because then I bring that to a boil. But I 443 00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:22.480 do do the same thing that she said. I put the lid on it 444 00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:24.240 and leave it for twenty minutes. So you take it off the heat and 445 00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:27.240 you leave it for twenty minutes. At that point, once it comes to 446 00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:29.319 a boil, and then it does the whole thing. And then I do 447 00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:31.480 the ice bath and all that for the second member. Once they're done in 448 00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:34.519 the ice path, you take them out, dry them off, and then 449 00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:37.319 let them sit on, you know, for another ten minutes or so before 450 00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:38.720 you put them in. Okay, and now bring them back to some temperature. 451 00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:44.200 Right exactly here is the most amazing thing. Michelle says, I'm gonna 452 00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:46.960 let you say it, yes, because I sit here and pick at my 453 00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:51.160 eggs and lose half of the egg because it doesn't come off right in the 454 00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:54.039 morning. Yeah, and you say you can do it. Yeah, usually 455 00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:58.640 in two pieces, like once, once they're done. Once I'm ready to 456 00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:00.960 crack the egg, I cracked it hard. I just take it and crack 457 00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:04.599 it hard. I don't do a little crack thing. I crack it hard 458 00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:08.079 and then just you know, start to separate it. And normally two or 459 00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:12.880 three pieces and everything's off and the egg is fully intact. I am trying 460 00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:15.920 this today because I'm eating my last hard boiled egg that I have done. 461 00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:22.239 So I'm trying this today. Alrighty, all right, two pieces remains to 462 00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:25.280 be seen, but cool if it works. See, I told you we 463 00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:30.880 cover the very very relevant important things here on Wake Up Call. About a 464 00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:35.199 half million fast food workers are getting a big raise today, and that is 465 00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:37.679 no April Fool's joke. A new state law to increase the minimum wage from 466 00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:42.960 sixteen to twenty dollars an hour goes into effect today. All state offices are 467 00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:47.480 closed today for the observance of Caesar Shavez Day. That includes DMV offices and 468 00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:52.880 LA Superior courtrooms. LA schools are also closed La City and county offices, 469 00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:55.679 though, are going to be open because they observed the holiday last Monday. 470 00:34:57.039 --> 00:35:00.599 The USC women's basketball team's going to face Yukon in the Elite Eight in Portland 471 00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:04.800 this evening on the line for the top seed Trojans a spot in the final 472 00:35:04.840 --> 00:35:08.519 four. Led by freshman Juju Watkins. This will be USC's first appearance in 473 00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:14.199 a regional final in thirty years. Go Trojans. We're just minutes away from 474 00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:16.199 handle. On the news this morning, a week after a cargo ship crashed 475 00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:21.280 into a bridge in Baltimore, a barge has hit a bridge in Oklahoma. 476 00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:24.559 Well, let's go back to that barge, or the not the barge, 477 00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:30.000 the bridge in Baltimore and say good morning to ABC's Karen Travers. So, 478 00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:35.639 Karen's been a week since that cargo ship crashed into the support causing the Francis 479 00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:39.360 Scott Key Bridge to collapse. Where are we at in getting things cleaned up 480 00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:43.920 and getting the waterway open again? It continues as a twenty four to seven 481 00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:47.239 operation, and the work is meticulous, it's painstaking, and it's complex. 482 00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:51.880 According to the Transportation Secretary Pete Buddha Judge, as well as state and local 483 00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:54.960 officials. Boudah Judge was on ABC's Good Morning America yesterday and he said there's 484 00:35:55.000 --> 00:36:00.400 no timeline for when the wreckage will be completely cleared and when the port can 485 00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:05.000 reopen. He said they just don't want to speculate on a timeline because the 486 00:36:05.039 --> 00:36:08.039 operation is so complex, and you know, he said, it's also it's 487 00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:12.840 not just removing the wreckage. You see that image of the ship with the 488 00:36:12.840 --> 00:36:15.199 metal on top of it, they're working on that. They brought in massive 489 00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:20.159 cranes to try to lift the debris off of it. They're sawing it off, 490 00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:22.360 trying to get it away from the ship. But he said they also 491 00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:25.519 have to do it in a way that doesn't cause portions of the bridge that 492 00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:30.639 are still across the water to shift. So you know, if you zoom 493 00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:35.360 out away from the image of the ship, you've got the two sides left 494 00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:38.320 and right of the bridge that are still there where it went down. And 495 00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:43.920 he said that there's a lot of compression intension and those parts of the bridge 496 00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:49.480 could behave like a spring if not properly expertly managed. So that is very 497 00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:52.280 complicated. He also said the ship itself is still an issue. It's a 498 00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:57.440 two hundred and forty eight million pound shipping vessel. That still poses a problem 499 00:36:57.559 --> 00:37:00.360 because they want to make sure it doesn't swing into the channel, and they 500 00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:04.599 also don't want to make maybe want to make sure it doesn't tilt over and 501 00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:08.960 drop containers into the water. So so many things that they're trying to pay 502 00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:15.039 the extra careful and make sure don't happen as they're trying to clear that wreckage 503 00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:19.159 off of the top of the ship. And last week they were saying initially 504 00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:25.480 that the weight of the bridge pushed the ship down onto the floor, you 505 00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:30.840 know, the basically the bed of the river. And I can see where 506 00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:35.360 you're saying where if they lift that off and it pops up that right would 507 00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:38.440 cause problems too, problems too. So it's like you've got all of these 508 00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:43.960 moving not moving, but they don't want them to be moving parts. Really 509 00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:49.039 if they start lifting some of that metal up, of what that might release 510 00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:52.960 from a tension point. So everything is being so carefully managed. It's a 511 00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:58.199 dangerous operation. You know, it's very high risk for the crews that are 512 00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:01.519 there that are coming in on these temporary things that are being put into the 513 00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:07.920 water. These massive thousand, six hundred ton cranes that are being brought in 514 00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:12.960 to clear the twist and debris away. It is incredibly complex and it's going 515 00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:15.079 to take a lot of time, okay, And while that remains closed, 516 00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:22.880 they're moving cargo to other ports. And is that working so far so far? 517 00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:27.000 Yes, Pete Butta Judge says, it's a major priority obviously to reopen 518 00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:30.320 the port, but that's going to take a while. And the other East 519 00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:34.960 Coast ports that have been absorbing container traffic had been doing that because the Port 520 00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:38.840 of Baltimore is the one that handles the bulk of automobiles that come into the 521 00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:43.280 US on the East coast. So you guys know this from the West coast 522 00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:49.039 when we have those supply chain disruptions and what that means with Long Beach and 523 00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:51.960 Los Angeles, and there's been a lot of ships sitting there right there off 524 00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:54.519 the coast. Yeah, and if you suddenly can't go to one and you 525 00:38:54.599 --> 00:38:58.440 have to go to another, Yeah, you can bring a ship in. 526 00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:02.960 But if a particular court is built to handle cars and now suddenly you can't 527 00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:06.760 go to Baltimore and you've got to send it to somewhere else, well, 528 00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:09.760 that one might not be built to handle cars and offload them quickly and make 529 00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:13.840 sure they can get to dealerships and all across the country. So go buy 530 00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:16.000 your car now. Yeah, in a few weeks it might be an issue. 531 00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:19.840 It could be an issue. So they say it's a little complicated, 532 00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:24.360 but for now they haven't seen major issues. But they're trying to absorb that 533 00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:28.159 container traffic at other ports. All right, Karen Travis, thank you so 534 00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:30.760 much for the information. Appreciate it. Have a great day. All right, 535 00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:31.920 let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 536 00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:36.159 four hour news room. More than three hundred inches of snow has fallen in 537 00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:39.960 Mammoth so far this season, and that as of last week before the latest 538 00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:46.199 storm, so we probably have more now. The snowfall totals will allow Mammoth 539 00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:51.559 ski season to remain open through at least Memorial Day, which is May twenty 540 00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:54.880 seventh. A man from San Bernardino County who supplied the fentanel that killed a 541 00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:59.280 fifteen year old girl's been sentenced to twelve years in prison. The girl from 542 00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:02.920 Banning was found dead in a car early last year. James Daily pleaded guilty 543 00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:07.920 recently to voluntary manslaughter under a plea agreement with the DA's office. In exchange, 544 00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:13.440 prosecutors dropped charges of second degree murder and child cruelty. Daily was sentenced 545 00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:17.360 on Friday. Democratic Senator Chris Van Holland says the Biden administration is making the 546 00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:22.360 wrong move in sending more weapons to Israel. Met Yeah, who continues to 547 00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:29.360 essentially give the finger to the President United States, and we're sending more bombs. 548 00:40:29.559 --> 00:40:32.000 That doesn't make sense. He says. President Biden needs to be as 549 00:40:32.039 --> 00:40:37.079 serious about ensuring more humanitarian aid gets into Gaza as Netan Yahoo has been in 550 00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:42.360 making his demands. The Biden administration says the shipment of fighter jets in two 551 00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:49.440 thousand pound bombs is fulfilling long standing agreements with Israel. Pope Francis has presided 552 00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:52.639 over an Easter mass despite his health concerns. He led about sixty thousand people 553 00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:58.159 in Easter celebrations yesterday in Saint Peter Square and made a strong appeal for a 554 00:40:58.199 --> 00:41:02.800 ceasefire in Gaza and a prison swapped between Russia and Ukraine. Okay, here's 555 00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:07.400 something that you're probably going to notice on your utility bills. In April, 556 00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:13.440 so Cal Edison customers are going to see an eighty six dollars credit automatically, 557 00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:17.400 and so cal Gas customers are going to get a seventy three dollars credit. 558 00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:22.119 So what is this and why are you getting it? It's called climate credits. 559 00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:28.480 These were started about a decade ago to offset how electricity and gas bills 560 00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:32.599 might otherwise be affected by costs that some companies are playing are paying to comply 561 00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:37.960 with California's cap and trade program. So these are actually you may have seen 562 00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:42.280 smaller ones in years past. These are the largest credits that you're going to 563 00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:47.639 see in the program's ten years history, and they may get even larger as 564 00:41:47.679 --> 00:41:51.079 we move down the road. So we'll have to wait and see on that. 565 00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:54.280 But then I was thinking, even if you get a rebate, it's 566 00:41:54.320 --> 00:41:58.400 sort of like the inflation thing. Inflation is slowing, but the inflation is 567 00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:01.320 up by twenty thirty percent. Well that's the case here. The cap and 568 00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:07.800 trade isn't inflating utility rates, but electric and gas bills are much higher. 569 00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:13.679 And Edison's rates are up ninety one percent in the past decade, and they 570 00:42:13.719 --> 00:42:16.559 now average two hundred and twenty dollars a month and more than one in five 571 00:42:16.719 --> 00:42:22.840 Edison customers have overdue payments because those gas and electric bills have gone so high. 572 00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:25.800 But look for the rebate. It's coming. Hopefully more are on the 573 00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:30.119 way. We've got handle on the news on the way.
