WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.879 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:10.880 demand on the iHeartRadio app. This is your wake up call for Monday, 3 00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.359 March fourth. I'm Amy King. Thanks for getting your day and your week 4 00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:18.399 started with us. We've got lots of head for you. First off, 5 00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:22.280 we've got pitpwatch going. We've got the eagles up in that tree over Big 6 00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:26.399 Bear and they could be hatching any time now. In fact, we're gonna 7 00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:30.879 be talking with the executive director of the Friends of Big Bear Valley a little 8 00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:35.640 bit later this morning at five point fifty to find out how everybody's doing and 9 00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:39.520 if we're expecting any hatchings in the next day or two. Also, I 10 00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.799 have not seen this in quite a while, but I watched the lift off 11 00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:48.520 of that Falcon nine rocket from Kennedy Space Center last night. I just happen 12 00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.719 to be flipping around and they said, oh, here, we're going to 13 00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:54.920 go with us. It's the launch is going to happen in a minute. 14 00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:59.439 I haven't watched a launch in a while. It is. It's pretty spectacular. 15 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:02.399 I mean it's you know, hair stands up on the back of your 16 00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:06.680 neck and off they go into space. And gosh, it's cool. Are 17 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:10.920 what we can do if only we would use it all for good but very 18 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.599 cool to see. Here's what's ahead on wake up Call. A one hundred 19 00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:19.319 mile stretch of the eighty Freeway in the Sierra Nevada remains closed because of a 20 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:25.159 weekend blizzard. HP says the roadway is pretty much unpassable because of blowing snows 21 00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.640 piling up in lanes. About three feet of snow has fallen. Forecasters say 22 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:32.280 more snow is on the way. Some people who tried to make the journey 23 00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:36.439 ended up stranded in their cars for hours. Six hundred and twenty five early 24 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:41.120 voting centers have opened in La County ahead of tomorrow's primary election. They'll be 25 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:45.519 open from ten to seven today. Polls tomorrow are open from seven am to 26 00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:49.719 eight pm. Voter turnout expected to be less than thirty percent. Crews in 27 00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:56.319 Oxnard and Ventura will begin removing sand berms from beaches. The berms were put 28 00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:00.280 in in December to protect the cities from high surf during winters, but they 29 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:05.400 need to come down to make room for the federally protected Western snowy plover, 30 00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.960 which is entering its nesting season. At six oh five. It's handled on 31 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:13.199 the news. Not long after hearing that Israel had agreed to a framework for 32 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:19.120 a ceasefire, the Israeli delegation has decided not to attend talks in Egypt. 33 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.319 I was going to tell you why. Let's get started with some of the 34 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:27.400 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Former UN Ambassador Nikki 35 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:31.680 Haley has won her first primary. She beat former President Trump yesterday in Washington. 36 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:37.159 D C ABC's Chuck Severson says Trump got just fourteen percent of the vote 37 00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.680 in the nation's capital. Baley's campaign spokesperson says it was not surprising that Republicans 38 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:46.560 and her words closest to Washington dysfunction, are rejecting Donald Trump and all his 39 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:52.479 chaos. A statement from the Trump campaign says Haley's just been crowned Queen of 40 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:57.840 the Swamp by the lobbyists and DC insiders. Several seats on the La City 41 00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.400 Council are up for grabs this coming Eletay. Seven people are running to replace 42 00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:07.199 turned out councilmen and council President Paul Krekorian. One of them is a former 43 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.199 chief of staff to Krekorian. The seat held by a councilwoman Heather Hut is 44 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:15.639 also being filled. Hutt was appointed caretaker city councilwoman last year when Mark Ridley 45 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:21.319 Thomas was indicted and convicted of corruption. Hutt is now running for the full 46 00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.719 term. Three other council seats are also up in this election. Two men 47 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:29.560 have been hurt in a crash off a bridge near Griffith Park. Their car 48 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:34.120 went over the edge of the overpass on Riverside Drive onto the one thirty four 49 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.639 late last night. It hit the freeway divider and burst into flames. Two 50 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:39.479 men in their sixties managed to get out of the car and were taken to 51 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:44.360 the hospital. The crash has made a mess of the roadway. We'll get 52 00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:49.199 the very latest from Nick Poliochini in just a couple of minutes. House Intelligence 53 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:53.199 Chair Mike Turner says CIA director William Burns told him a ceasefire is close in 54 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:58.280 the Israel Hamas war. Turner says it's important to get the deal done because 55 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.439 there are hostages still being held by Hamas and a major need to get aid 56 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:06.800 into the Gaza Strip. ABC's Aikejachi says the US began dropping aid to Palestinians 57 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:12.439 over the weekend. US military cargo planes dropped food and palates over Gaza Saturday. 58 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.000 It comes after reports of more kids than Gaza dying from a lack of 59 00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:21.120 food and more civilians dying in Israeli airstrikes. Israel has reportedly agreed to a 60 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:29.360 framework of a potential temporary cease fire and hostage release agreement. NCAA college basketball 61 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:34.600 has a new all time scoring leader. Iowa's Caitlin Clark broke broke Pete Marevich's 62 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:40.920 fifty four year old career scoring record yesterday with point number three thousand, six 63 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.680 hundred sixty eight. I feel like I'm living in a dream, honestly, 64 00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.199 Holly, and hopefully I can inspire a lot of young girls to be able 65 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.720 to dream, to be on stages like this. Clark broke the record before 66 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:54.639 a sold out crowd. She finished the game with thirty five points, nine 67 00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:58.800 assists, six rebounds, and three steals in a ninety three eighty three win 68 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:03.480 over second ranked Ohio State. It's five seven on your wake up call. 69 00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:09.879 Let's say good morning now to ABC's m Win in Washington, so M. 70 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:13.720 The Supreme Court has been busy and some decisions are still months away, but 71 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.560 apparently we're going to get at least one today, at least one to day, 72 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:21.360 and the one we're really watching out for is Trump the Anderson. This 73 00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:26.839 is a potentially landmark Supreme Court decision that could come in the next couple of 74 00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.399 hours in a case over whether Donald Trump could be kicked off the primary ballot 75 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.480 due to his efforts to overturn his twenty twenty election defeat to Joe Biden. 76 00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:40.560 So this case revolves around Section three of the fourteenth Amendment, which prohibits officers 77 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:43.959 of the United States from holding public office who have taken an oth to the 78 00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:48.480 country and then engage insurrection. So remember Colorado Supreme Court made a ruling weeks 79 00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:54.319 ago that Trump was disqualified from their primary ballot because they believe he engaged in 80 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.519 an insurrection, and the former president's team appealed, and the Supreme Court heard 81 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.680 oral arguments less than a month ago. So this is super expedited if we 82 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:06.439 do see a decision today, which is very likely, okay, and do 83 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:11.879 we have a feeling of which way they're going to go? Yeah, So 84 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.319 of course there's a very unprecedented case. But the court, when I was 85 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:19.040 there during oral arguments, seemed very reluctant to take the story step of actually 86 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:25.000 borring Trump from appearing on the primary ballots this election. Yeer justices from both 87 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:29.839 sides, liberals and conservatives, are very critical of Colorado's decision because of two 88 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:33.000 main reasons. Number one, they questioned whether the state should be allowed to 89 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:41.240 decide whether someone want engage in insurrection without being convicted and essentially get to decide 90 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.360 who gets to be president. So should a state be allowed to affect the 91 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:50.120 entire nation? Then the other question they asked was essentially when the fourteenth Amendment 92 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:56.120 was written, if the framers during that time in the eighteen sixties intended to 93 00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:00.360 give states more power following the Civil War, and so those two distinctions were 94 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.959 made by the justices. Of course, the other side argued that it is 95 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:09.199 very clear that Trump tried to overturn the twenty twenty election and therefore should be 96 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:14.160 banned. There was one of the plaintiffs. Her name is Norma and Anderson, 97 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.040 and she's ninety one years old, and she says she's gone through a 98 00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:20.360 lot of presidents and this is the first one that's trying to destroy the constitution. 99 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:25.720 Okay, so let's play the what if game just a little bit. 100 00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:30.959 If Colorado cannot kick Trump off the ballot. If the Supreme Court says no, 101 00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:36.600 you can't do that, does that nullify all the other state's efforts to 102 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:41.879 kick them off the ballot. Illinois just filed just announced last week that they're 103 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:45.600 not going to put them on the ballot, right right exactly, So this 104 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.839 could have implications nationwide if they were to turn this down, which is what 105 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:55.439 the TEA leads are kind of pointing towards. There's other states like Illinois, 106 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.560 like you mentioned from last week, but also the Secretary of State of Maine 107 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:01.480 just qualified Trump on the states back and there are more than a dozen other 108 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:07.680 states with pending situations right now. So those legal challenges essentially will be thrown 109 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.600 out if they are trying to base their disqualifications on the fourteenth Amendment, And 110 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.399 it essentially just gives a lot more clarity to this one hundred and fifty year 111 00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:24.560 old constitutional provision. And then essentially moving forward, those names that have Donald 112 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.879 Trump on the ballot, those will stay there. But let's say this goes 113 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:35.799 the other direction to ask as Colorado. As I mentioned, Colorado still has 114 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.919 Donald Trump's name on the ballot, but this decision would then decide whether those 115 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:43.519 votes for Trump that we would be seeing tomorrow and Super Tuesday would actually get 116 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.960 counted or would just retrone out. Okay, So if the Supreme Court went 117 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.960 again, we're just playing the life game. If the Supreme Court said, 118 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.360 yeah, Colorado can kick them off, would that just open the floodgates for 119 00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:00.720 even more states possibly to jump in and say can't be on the ballot? 120 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.120 Oh? Absolutely. I mean, as I mentioned, there are pending decisions 121 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:09.360 in more than a dozen other states, and this, if it were to 122 00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:15.080 go in that direction, would then just enforce their thoughts about the fourteenth Amendment 123 00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.039 not only for those states, but potentially other states could be thinking the same 124 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.480 thing as well. Okay, and then, because you know this stuff so 125 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:28.480 well, if that happened and then say Illinois took him off the ballot, 126 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:33.000 could Trump's team challenge that again? Or because of the Supreme Court ruling, 127 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.759 then all bets are off. They wouldn't have any legal ground to stand on 128 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:43.279 because the Supreme Court had already ruled on it. Right. So, normally, 129 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.360 when the Supreme Court rules on a case like this, which essentially had 130 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:52.120 already been decided in the state itself of Colorado, then there's no more legal 131 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:58.200 ground on this specific argument. Now they potentially could try to appeal it again 132 00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:03.159 on a different arguments. Maybe they have another thing up their sleeve. But 133 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:07.639 essentially, when they're trying to argue that a few things that the presidency and 134 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:13.360 a US officer which is mentioned in the Fourtune Amendment are separate, you know, 135 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.399 so certain arguments there would not be able to come back up again. 136 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:24.360 So essentially they wouldn't have much footing to continue this argument, but they potentially 137 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:28.720 could bring up a different argument, which we've seen in the past multiple times 138 00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:33.039 with the Trump team. Okay, a lot of steak today and when thanks 139 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:37.080 for helping us sort it out. Thanks so much. All right, let's 140 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.919 get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour 141 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.600 newsroom. Governor Newsom has visited parts of the California Mexico border that have seen 142 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:48.559 a lot more illegal immigrant crossings in recent months. He was briefed by California 143 00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:54.320 National Guard and US Border Patrol officials late Friday and met with community leaders at 144 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.720 a migrant shelter in San Diego. Newsom praised President Biden's executive actions on the 145 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:05.799 Board and criticized Republicans for blocking a bipartisan border security deal. The LAPD has 146 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.799 responded to the City controllers report on the alleged misuse of helicopter. Laped's command 147 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:15.039 staff says the City Controller's implication the helicopters are wasting time, money and resources 148 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.960 is based on flawed research. The City Controller said sixty one percent of laped's 149 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.879 flight time was for non emergencies, but LAPD Commander Shannon Paulson recently told the 150 00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:26.919 Police Commission the Controller's audit was based on a highly inaccurate definition of Part one 151 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:31.519 crimes as defined by the FBI. The commander says helicopters are also used just 152 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.240 stop street takeovers, which are not classified as Part one crimes but are a 153 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:37.759 high priority for the city. The City Controller's office says it stands by its 154 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:43.120 report and told The Times the LAPD's reaction was politically motivated. Steve Gregory kfinows 155 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:48.840 the European Union has fined Apple nearly two billion dollars for breaking the block's competition 156 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:56.200 laws. The EU says Apple unfairly favored its own music streaming service over rivals. 157 00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:00.279 Vice President Harris is set to meet at the White House with Israeli War 158 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:05.840 Cabinet member Benny Getz. Erris called for a ceasefire yesterday during an event in 159 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:09.840 Alabama and said Israel must do more to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, no 160 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:18.240 excuses. They must open new border crossings. They must not impose any unnecessary 161 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.559 restrictions on the delivery of aid. She also said Israel has the right to 162 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:28.799 defend itself and repeated the US's unwavering commitment to Israel's security. CVS Health and 163 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:35.320 Walgreens plan to start dispensing the abortion pill MiFi press Stone in some states within 164 00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.759 weeks. CVS Health will start filling prescriptions in Rhode Island and neighboring Massachusetts. 165 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:45.480 Walgreens will start in California, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Illinois. 166 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.759 Nott's Berry Farm is now going to let visitors pay a little extra to 167 00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:54.000 skip the lines. People can choose the option that charges seven fifty in up 168 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:58.679 per individual ride.

Smable lapp shows the available pay per ride attractions after two pm each 170 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:07.360 day. The number of passes sold each day is limited. Prices vary by 171 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:13.799 ride day, time and time of day and also time of year, sounds 172 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.879 like maybe it was working for Disneyland, so they thought, let's give it 173 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.320 a shot when we come back. Humanitarian aid is now being air dropped into 174 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.639 Gaza since most trucks are still being prevented from entering. We're going to find 175 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:28.960 out more with ABC's and Flaherty. You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand 176 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.919 from KFI Am six forty. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four 177 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.200 hour newsroom. Nikki Hayley has picked up her first win of the twenty twenty 178 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.120 four election season. She got sixty three percent of the vote in Washington, 179 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:46.039 DC's primary election. Ahead of tomorrow's Super Tuesday, voters in fifteen states, 180 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.679 including California, head to the polls with almost nine hundred delegates, that's about 181 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.840 a third of them on the line. A man's been arrested for trying to 182 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:56.679 steal a way Mow Robo taxi in downtown LA Police say the guy hopped behind 183 00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:01.360 the wheel late Saturday night after the car had dropped someone else off. He 184 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.799 tried to put it in drive but didn't get away. Bus rides are free 185 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.919 for election day around La Metro buses and trains are going to be free tomorrow. 186 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:13.679 Officials say it's to encourage people to get out the vote. Metro will 187 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:18.000 also have ballot drop boxes at nine locations, including at Union Station. Polls 188 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.720 are open tomorrow from seven am to eight pm. At six oh five, 189 00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:24.519 it's handle on the news. A ship in the Red Sea, hit weeks 190 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.559 ago by Hoothi rebels has sank and for the Red Sea, that's bad news. 191 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:35.200 We'll tell you why right now. Let's check in with ABC's senior national 192 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:39.480 reporter and Flaherty. Good morning, and hey, good morning. So the 193 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:45.240 US has joined other countries in air dropping some humanitarian aid into the Gaza strip. 194 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.879 Can you tell us all about that? Yeah, so we are told 195 00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:52.120 that this is a first, that this has not happened, certainly not since 196 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:56.679 the war began October seventh. But the US strapped about sixty six pallets to 197 00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:01.480 parachutes, loaded them up on a one see one thirty planes and flew them 198 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.919 over and dropped them over the coastline of Gaza. And of course we saw 199 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:09.919 this remarkable video over the weekend of people running out to those palettes to try 200 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:15.120 to get to the aid packages. What was inside was about thirty eight thousand 201 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.519 MREs. These are the meals that troops set when they're out in the field. 202 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.240 You know, of course there are two million people in Gaza. We're 203 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:31.480 getting reports of children dying of starvation, not necessarily bombs or other disease, 204 00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:37.159 it's just simple starvation because the devastation there has grown so acute. So, 205 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:39.639 you know, the US frustrated that a lot of these aid trucks have been 206 00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:45.840 held up and prevented from going in through the ground checkpoints, so teaming up 207 00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:50.200 with other countries Jordan Israel says they coordinated with this, which is a little 208 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:56.320 bit hard to imagine because they had been blocking those you know, aid checkpoints 209 00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:00.679 on the ground, but allowing those aid packages to be dropped from the air 210 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:06.200 a very inefficient way to deliver aid there, but at least one first initial 211 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:10.039 step. Yeah, And so this was the first time that there had been 212 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:11.960 air drops or other countries had been doing it, and now the US is 213 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:17.440 joining them. Well, the other countries have been doing it over the past 214 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:19.600 week or so, and this was the first air drop that the United States 215 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:23.039 had done, and certainly we heard from the President that there's going to be 216 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:27.679 more that he's going to look at every avenue, land, sea and air 217 00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:33.159 to try to deliver more AID. Okay. And when I initially heard about 218 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:34.679 this, and I don't know if you were the same way, I was 219 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:37.000 like, Oh, that sounds great, let's get some food in there. 220 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:41.200 And I went, how are they going to drop palettes of food and not 221 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:47.200 hit anyone? Yeah, you know, I actually asked that exact question of 222 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:48.840 people at the Pentagon and they said, you know, when you strap it 223 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:53.519 to that giant parachute that I mentioned, it does actually drift very slowly to 224 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.399 the ground. So this is not going you know, the rate of speed 225 00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:02.600 down to the ground. So we did see video that you know, landing 226 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:04.680 safely. The concern, though, is the same with the AID truck. 227 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:08.680 So we saw in the past week that there was an incident where reported one 228 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:12.359 hundred people were killed. When there was a chaotic scene of people trying to 229 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:18.119 get around an AID truck, shots were fired. Israeli defense forces say that 230 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:22.519 people mostly died in the stampede. There are questions about that, but certainly 231 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.720 you can imagine that with two million starving people and thirty eight food packages, 232 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.599 thirty eight thousand food packages, that there could be quite the scramble there. 233 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.160 So you know, that was a concern, and I think that the more 234 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:37.839 aid that they can drop, the less that becomes a concern. But certainly 235 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.200 we're nowhere near hitting and being able to meet the need that is in Gaza 236 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:48.160 right now. Yeah, did anyone ask why this hasn't been done before in 237 00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:52.680 the last week. Yeah, you know, we've asked that behind the scenes, 238 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.000 and certainly that's a question for the White House, and you know, 239 00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:00.240 I've mostly been speaking with Pentagon people. It's not very efficient, that is 240 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.319 one, you know, very obvious answer. The most efficient way to get 241 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.119 aid to the Gosen people is to roll a truck through there, and there 242 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:10.720 have been questions about that. Israel has been very hesitant. They've been limiting 243 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:14.519 the amount of aid that comes through because simply they say they don't want any 244 00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:18.119 of that aid to end up in the hands of Hamas. But the problem 245 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:21.680 is that when you're dropping it from the air, it's just it's not very 246 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:26.400 efficient, it's very expensive. That was not avenue that the administration was pushing 247 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:30.359 for for several weeks. I think it just became the avenue that was the 248 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.759 only one that they could do this week. Yeah, like something's got to 249 00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.640 be done. They need they need to get some food in there. Then 250 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:40.839 let's switch gears real quick, because I know we're kind of almost out of 251 00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:47.799 time. The ceasefire. Apparently there's some a framework that has been agreed to, 252 00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:49.880 but now we're hearing that the Israeli delegation isn't going to go to the 253 00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:56.799 talks, So you know, this is a fast moving situation, very fluid. 254 00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.720 What we were hearing over the weekend was that Israeli had essentially agreed to 255 00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:07.680 a framework for a ceasefire and that it was the onusless quote on Hamas. 256 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.680 That's what US officials were telling us. We do know that Hamas negotiators are 257 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.200 reportedly showing up in Cairo right now. I do not have you know if 258 00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.319 the Israelis have since pulled out in the past hour. I'm not aware of 259 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:22.160 it. But you know, this situation obviously very very fluid, Okay, 260 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.960 and we will keep watching it. Anne Flaherty, thank you so much for 261 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:29.960 your information this morning. Appreciate it. Thank you. All right, let's 262 00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:32.319 get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour 263 00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:37.720 newsroom. Fifteen states have primary elections on Super Tuesday. That's tomorrow. Former 264 00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:40.839 President Trump campaigned in North Carolina over the weekend. Well do you help, 265 00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:45.759 we will win big. On Super Tuesday, Nikki Haley was in Vermont, 266 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:48.920 where a recent poll found more than sixty percent of the voters support Trump. 267 00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:52.880 I need you to go Tuesday and vote. Ailey went after Trump and President 268 00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:57.000 Biden, calling them more of the same. A teenager has been arrested for 269 00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:02.640 allegedly shooting at police in Anna. No officers were hurt in the shooting early 270 00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.640 yesterday morning, and they did not return fire. They searched the neighborhood for 271 00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:11.079 hours and say detectives saw the teen's mom driving away from the area. The 272 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:15.880 boy was arrested in Mission Viajo on suspicion of attempted murder of a peace officer 273 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:21.920 and other crimes. Researchers that U see Irvine have identified a relationship among drought, 274 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.680 invasive plant species and wildfires. The study determined that the reduced fire severity 275 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:33.000 associated with drought encourages several invasive species. Researchers say some non native grasses thrive 276 00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:36.720 in these conditions, which leads to a transformation of the landscape. Then the 277 00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:41.640 return of an abundance and diversity of native species. Problem is wildfire management, 278 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:47.319 such as controlled burns in coastal sage scrub systems, can inadvertently promote other invasive 279 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:52.519 species, which can prevent native plants from returning. Researchers suggest addressing climate change 280 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:56.440 instead. In Orange County, Corbin Carson kf I News. Okay, you 281 00:20:56.480 --> 00:21:00.000 know that inflation has hit everyone, right, Well, we're talking and everyone. 282 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:07.880 It's not only prices at the gas pumps and cars and food that's costing 283 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:12.880 more, but inflation has hit the tooth fairy. So there is a report 284 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:21.200 that this one woman in Temecula gave her daughter one hundred dollars and decorated the 285 00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:26.000 bill with glitter and tiny removable rhinestones. And the poll last year by Delta 286 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:33.160 Dentzel said that in twenty twenty two the average for a tooth is six dollars 287 00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:37.440 and twenty three cents, up from actually that was for twenty twenty three. 288 00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:42.720 In twenty twenty two it was five dollars and thirty six cents. The same 289 00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:48.960 pole found twenty percent of kids now get both money and like a gift. 290 00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:52.359 I was lucky if I got a dime. In the UK, this one 291 00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:59.240 lady said the tooth Fairy gave her daughter the equivalent of seventy six dollars and 292 00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:03.839 fifty cents in US dollars, plus a letter, I guess congratulating her, 293 00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:11.200 and a silver fairy necklace along with a Louis Vitan bracelet. Come on, 294 00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:15.680 people, So apparently it's like keeping up with the Joneses, but it's keeping 295 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:19.440 up with the tooth Fairy. Like I said, I think the most I 296 00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:23.079 got was twenty five cents. When we come back, that fire in Texas 297 00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:26.079 has scorched more than a million acres. We're going to get the latest on 298 00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.960 the fire and what may have sparked it from ABC's Jim Ryan. That's just 299 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:34.759 around the corner. You're listening to a wake up call on demand from KFI 300 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:38.000 Am six forty. It's National Snack Day. I'm not sure what I'm gonna 301 00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:44.640 celebrate it with, but hmmm, I think my favorite favorite favorite snack is 302 00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:51.920 Cheetos puffed kinds. Just thinking might be a good day to go get some. 303 00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:55.880 Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A one 304 00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:59.720 hundred mile stretch of the eighty Freeway in the Sierra Nevada is still closed because 305 00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:04.599 of a weekend blizzard. Dozens of people got stranded for hours in their cars. 306 00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:08.440 There were reports of all kinds of spinouts and jackknife trucks, and then 307 00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:14.240 they shut it down. The roadway impassable because of blowing snow piling up in 308 00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:17.960 lanes, and more snow is expected. Six hundred and twenty five early voting 309 00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:22.799 centers have opened in La County ahead of tomorrow's primary election. They'll be open 310 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.319 ten to seven. Polls tomorrow are open from seven am to eight pm. 311 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:30.920 Voter turnout not expected to be great, only about thirty percent. Early voting 312 00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:37.640 centers are also open in Orange County, Ventura, San Bernardino riverside. The 313 00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:42.680 European Union has fined Apple nearly two billion dollars for unfairly favoring its own music 314 00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:48.559 streaming service over that of rivals. At six z five, it's handle on 315 00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:51.200 the news. The Supreme Court's going to hand down rulings today, one of 316 00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:53.960 them expected to be whether Donald Trump can be on the ballot in Colorado. 317 00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:59.319 At five point fifty, we're going to be checking in on our favorite expectant 318 00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:02.759 parent, Bald Eagles, Jackie in Shadow. We're going to be talking with 319 00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:06.960 the executive director of Friends of Big Bear Valley. Can't wait for that. 320 00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:10.839 Those chips the Chick's got to come anytime now. Right now, though, 321 00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:15.440 let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. Jim, we talked to you 322 00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:19.119 last week and wanted to get an update on the more than a million acres 323 00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:23.480 burned in Texas. Yeah, well, yeah, it's only expanded from there 324 00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:26.759 right now. The smoke House Creek fires, you know, i ME is 325 00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:30.640 the biggest, one largest in Texas history and as far as we know, 326 00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:37.039 second largest in US history at lasts that the last estimate showed that it had 327 00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:41.400 burned one million, seventy six, six hundred and thirty eight acres. That's 328 00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:45.680 larger than the state of Rhode Island. Also a last check it was only 329 00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:48.359 fifteen percent contained. Now those numbers will be updated later today. The Texas 330 00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.039 and m Forest Service is responsible for keeping track of all of that, and 331 00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:56.160 yeah, we should get some updates today in terms of containment and the number 332 00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:00.880 of acres that this fire has burned. And it's is it still growing or 333 00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:07.400 is it sort of stalled out? It's growing every day. It consumes more 334 00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:11.160 acreage. So in that way. Yeah, it's still growing. It also 335 00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:14.880 joined up with another fire that was burning out there last week on Friday. 336 00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:18.680 That's part of the reason that it exploded into such a massive wildfire, because 337 00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:23.279 it joined up with another smaller one. And so, yeah, it's still 338 00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:29.599 expanding. It's still consuming grassland, pasture, and buildings. Four hundred buildings 339 00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:33.400 at last count. The weather has moderated somewhat. Thursday, it went dropped 340 00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:37.480 out of like twenty three degrees and it was snowing. That helped a little 341 00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:42.160 bit. It certainly made a little less uncomfortable to fight the flames. But 342 00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:45.240 now temperatures have warmed up again. The real issue, though, the real 343 00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:51.240 weather issue is the wind, and that's what's pushing these fires along. Fifteen 344 00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:53.319 to twenty mile an hour winds today, but gusts will be higher than that. 345 00:25:55.039 --> 00:25:59.279 I was watching Yellowstone over the weekend. I know I'm a late joiner 346 00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:02.960 on the whole yellow Stone thing, but they were talking about heading to Texas. 347 00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:04.599 They got to take some cattle down there or something, and they were 348 00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:08.599 talking about the winds and the Panhandle, and it reminded me of what's going 349 00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:12.640 on right now. And every time I've been up there and I've been up 350 00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:15.759 there to the Panhandle any times, and step out of the car, you 351 00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:19.680 get out or whatever you're doing, the howling wind it just doesn't let up. 352 00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:22.880 It's on the south plains there, and there's nothing there. The Rockies 353 00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.519 are way too far to the northwest, and anything else that might stop the 354 00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:32.880 wind is just so far away that the wind comes whipping across there and that 355 00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:37.519 is driving these flames along. And yeah, as Yellowstone suggest that part of 356 00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:42.240 Texas, the Panhandle is cattle country. Countless ranches up there, and so 357 00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:47.240 much of the property that's been burned was ranch land. The hay was killed. 358 00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:51.079 They we have no of at least a thousand cattle that have died. 359 00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:56.519 The numbers are, yeah, and they because there's nowhere for them to go 360 00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.160 because they're ranches and it's wide open, but it's all fenced off, right 361 00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:03.759 right, there's just no plate. You're right, there's no plate. And 362 00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:07.000 certainly the ranchers couldn't act fast enough to truck them up and get them out 363 00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:11.359 of there or somehow protect them. And so unfortunately that was a big loss 364 00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:17.359 up there. Yeah. Is this an unusually dry winter in Texas? It 365 00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:22.119 it? Well, Yeah, the issue is that last spring and into the 366 00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:25.440 summertime it was wet. There are a lot of rain out there, and 367 00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:29.759 that helped all the vegetation there to grow. But then when everything dried out 368 00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:32.880 in the late summer and into the fall, you had all this fuel out 369 00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:36.039 there that was ready to go and was set to burn, and it did. 370 00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:38.200 So that's the same thing that happens in California. We go, Yay, 371 00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:41.279 we got all this rain. It's great, and then they go, 372 00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:42.759 oh, but that's bad because when it dries out in the summer, that 373 00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:48.480 just makes what you know of us prime for wildfires more fuel. Another potential 374 00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:52.799 parallel to the investigators are looking at the possibility that it was a down power 375 00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:57.160 line that might have started the Smokehouse Creek fire, and a couple of lawsuits 376 00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:03.359 already have been filed suggest that so Excel Energy, which owns those power lines 377 00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:07.279 out there, is being questioned and investigation is underway to see if that was 378 00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:11.960 the source of this same way that so many of your fires have started that 379 00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:14.640 way. Yeah, they just settled for like I think it was in the 380 00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:18.400 hundreds of millions of dollars for one of the fires from a couple of years 381 00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:21.200 ago. I mean, it's just it's crazy, because what do you do. 382 00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:23.720 I mean, you have to have the power lines. Yeah, and 383 00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:29.759 if it's a maintenance issue, you know, it's you know, it's a 384 00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:33.519 tough one to figure out. But if the lines were not properly maintained, 385 00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:37.480 if the trees had not been cut away from them by the power company, 386 00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:41.960 then you know, there could be claims for responsibility. And certainly that's what 387 00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:47.799 these lawsuits are claiming. Okay, so fifteen percent surrounded and will hope for 388 00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:52.559 more favorable weather so they can get a handle on this exactly. That's right 389 00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.559 now, it's still only fifteen percent. Some of the other the big one, 390 00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:57.960 the Windy Douce fire, which was to the west of that, it's 391 00:28:57.960 --> 00:29:03.680 nowt contained, but it's already burned one hundred and forty four thousand nickers too. 392 00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:06.839 Just crazy and like you said, it's just wide open range. There's 393 00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:10.599 nothing to stop it slowed down. So all right, Jim Ryan, thank 394 00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:11.960 you so much for the update. Appreciate it. Thanks Abe. All right, 395 00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:15.160 let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 396 00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:18.480 four hour newsroom. Families are mourning the deaths of three women killed in a 397 00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:23.519 Dui crash in Pomona, and suv ran a red light late Saturday and slammed 398 00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:27.680 into a car with five people inside. One of the women killed was in 399 00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:32.240 the process of adopting her eleven year old nephew. I feel like her time 400 00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:37.920 is way too short, although I do know that she died peacefully. She 401 00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:41.160 died loving me. A twelve year old girl in the car was one of 402 00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:45.119 the two people who survived the crash. The driver of the SUV that hit 403 00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:52.200 them was arrested for felony DUI. A Massachusetts Air National guardsman, is expected 404 00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:56.960 to plead guilty in Boston to leaking classified documents. Jack to Shara is due 405 00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:03.559 in federal court today. He alleged leaked documents online that included information about Ukrainian 406 00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:08.599 military positions, assessments of international support for Ukraine, and other sensitive details. 407 00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:15.519 He's charged with unauthorized retention and transmission of classified national defense information under the Espionage 408 00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:21.920 Act. Officials in Malaysia say they're looking to restart the search for Malaysian Airlines 409 00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:26.680 Flight three seventy it disappeared. I can't even believe this. Ten years ago. 410 00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:30.279 ABC's Derek Dennis's the plane is believed to have crashed into the Indian Ocean 411 00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:36.359 in twenty fourteen. Texas based company Ocean Infinity claims to have scientific evidence of 412 00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:40.039 the plane's final resting place at the bottom of the ocean, and it is 413 00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:45.680 proposing an all new, no fine, no fee search. Malaysia's Transportation minister 414 00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:52.279 says he's invited ocean Infinity to share its new evidence and has promised to approve 415 00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:56.319 a new search if it's credible. Two hundred and thirty nine people were aboard 416 00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:00.319 the flight when it disappeared. A museum in New York to capture memories from 417 00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:04.440 the Woodstock festival that attracted more than four hundred and fifty thousand young people in 418 00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:08.359 August of nineteen sixty nine. It's a new dog. It was an epic 419 00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:12.039 event that now evokes memories about society state of mind nearing the end of a 420 00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:17.000 tumultuous decade. Teens or young adults who are there are now in the twilight 421 00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:19.599 of their lives. That ticking clock is why the museum at Bethel Woods has 422 00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:23.640 started a five year project recording the oral histories of people from all over the 423 00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:33.200 US who were there to catch the Woodstock memories before it's too late you Sandy 424 00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:40.559 Wells KFI News and to rise. You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand 425 00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:45.720 from KFI AM six forty abe Eglett Hatching. We're talking to the executive director 426 00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:48.039 of Friends of Big Bear Valley. In just a second. Here's what we're 427 00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:52.799 following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Vice President Kamala Harris will meet 428 00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:57.599 with Israeli War Cabinet member Betty Benny Gantz at the White House today, a 429 00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:01.960 day after she called for an immediate ceasefire in the Israel Hamas war in the 430 00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:07.240 Gaza Strip. Israel meantime, had agreed to the framework for a six week 431 00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:12.519 ceasefire, but Hamas hasn't responded. A ship that was hit by Hoothy rebel 432 00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:16.640 missiles in the Red Sea has sank, taking about twenty one thousand metric tons 433 00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:22.119 of fertilizer down with it. Officials say that poses a significant environmental risk to 434 00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:28.200 one of the world's busiest waterways and the home of many coral reefs. The 435 00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:34.960 ship was hit on February eighteenth. Jet Blue Airways is facing pushback from antitrust 436 00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:38.519 regulators in the US, so much so that it has now ended its bid 437 00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:43.519 to buy Spirit Airlines that's been in the works for a while. We're just 438 00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:45.599 minutes away from Handle. On the news this morning, a blizzard in northern 439 00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:51.240 California has shut down roads and ski resorts, and more snow is on the 440 00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:54.480 way. Right now, let's say good morning to the executive director of Friends 441 00:32:54.480 --> 00:33:00.359 of Big Bear Valley. It's Sandy Steers. Good morning, Sandy morning. 442 00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:05.920 So as as anybody who listens to Wake Up Call knows, I'm obsessed with 443 00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:09.160 these eagles. We've got Jackie in shadow and I just saw Jackie get up 444 00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:15.079 and move around a minute ago. And the little camera that's trained on the 445 00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:19.319 nest zoomed in to look at the eggs to see if there's any pipping going 446 00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:22.119 on. Have we seen any? We have not yet. We haven't seen 447 00:33:22.160 --> 00:33:25.200 any yet. Okay, what is pipping again? Just for people who aren't 448 00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:30.200 as obsessed as I am with this, it's when you see the first little 449 00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:35.440 bump or crack in the egg that shows that the chick is trying to poke 450 00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:38.599 its way out. Okay, and right now is that time? So we 451 00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:44.880 hit with the first egg. It was thirty five days on last Thursday, 452 00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:47.440 on the twenty ninth, right, yes, okay, so we're now at 453 00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:52.880 forty days for the first one, or thirty nine days. Thirty nine days, 454 00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:59.319 do my math right, right? So Jackie's eggs haven't usually hatched out 455 00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:02.200 until date thirty eight or thirty nine. Okay, so we're not concerned yet, 456 00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:07.000 no, okay. And then when were the other eggs laid? Because 457 00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:12.000 the first one hit thirty five days on Thursday, and then the other ones 458 00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:15.199 came a few days after that. Yeah. Yeah, each one was three 459 00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:22.360 days apart. I have a question for you because we've seen the eggs grow 460 00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:25.639 and you can see all this, so you not only hear me talking about 461 00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:30.760 it and gushing about how cool this is, but you can see it. 462 00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:36.719 Just google the Big Bear Eagle cam and then pop it up on YouTube and 463 00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:37.760 you can watch them. You can watch them twenty four hours a day. 464 00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:40.599 I was watching this morning, and like I said, I saw Jackie get 465 00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:45.119 up and move around. But we've seen the eggs grow because they come out 466 00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:47.840 and they're pretty small, and over the course of them, they don't grow. 467 00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:53.000 The eggs don't grow, they don't know the chick grows inside the egg. 468 00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:58.400 Well that just answers my question because I was like how do those eggs 469 00:34:58.480 --> 00:35:01.639 get bigger? I thought they got bigger. Yeah, they don't it, 470 00:35:02.119 --> 00:35:05.960 you know, just it might look like it because of the different angles of 471 00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:08.239 the camera and things like that. Okay, And with the bad weather, 472 00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:12.039 I cleared that up. And Anne's gonna laugh at me now because she was 473 00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:14.360 like, yeah, I ask the question, how do the eggs get bigger? 474 00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:16.000 I'm like, I don't know because they're like solid, right, Okay, 475 00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:21.920 So I'm just done that way with all the bad weather. Jackie tense. 476 00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:24.800 She's a female, obviously, she tends to stay right on top of 477 00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:30.239 those eggs and we'll and but the they switch off. So how how much 478 00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:34.239 time does she give up to Shadow? Now when she's kind of in full 479 00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:39.519 on mommy mode, she well, she's still giving up some. As long 480 00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:45.559 as there's not bad weather, she will let him sit on the eggs somewhere, 481 00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:51.000 usually between four and six or seven hours, depending on the day. 482 00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:54.440 When there's bad weather, she won't let him have any time, because she's 483 00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:58.760 a good mama. Okay. And then we know that, you know, 484 00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:02.559 the chances of all three making it, we're hoping for that, we know 485 00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:07.199 that that might not happen. When when do we start to get concerned. 486 00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:15.639 Well, I just watch and see what happens, and hopefully they will hatch 487 00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:20.840 and then we'll see, you know, what happens from here. But we 488 00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:27.199 don't make predictions. We just watch mother nature and see what happens, and 489 00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:30.920 we'll let people know if there's ever anything that you know, it's time to 490 00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:34.119 give up. But Jackie and Shadow will show us, you know, what 491 00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:38.880 to do. And they're taking really good care of the eggs and they're hopeful 492 00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:45.239 or whatever they are to to you know about the eggs hatching, because they're 493 00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:50.320 very dedicated this year, more than ever they always are, but this year 494 00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:54.000 they've been only a few seconds without anybody on the eggs, you know, 495 00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:58.880 during this whole time. Yeah, And in years past they've had like the 496 00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:01.039 ravens have come and come at them. Have we had any of that this 497 00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:06.920 year? No, we have not. They've been so dedicated that nothing has 498 00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:09.039 a chance to get anywhere near there. Okay, And when they do switch 499 00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:14.840 out, like we know that Shadow goes and he brings fish up to Jackie 500 00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:16.039 and that kind of stuff. When she leaves the nest, does she go 501 00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:21.199 hunting too or does she just kind of go and sleep or rest. She 502 00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:27.199 also goes and hunts because and we can tell because sometimes she comes back with 503 00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:30.920 her crop that where they store food at the base of her neck. She 504 00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:34.159 comes back with that very full, so we know she's gone off and eaten. 505 00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:37.079 Oh so, and they can hold the food there, so like if 506 00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:40.360 she is stuck on the net like earlier when the last time we talked, 507 00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:44.320 she'd been on the nest for like two and a half days or something like 508 00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:47.639 that, but that's okay because she's got food and it can exactly Yeah, 509 00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:51.760 they store it in their crop and they can swallow a little bit at a 510 00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:57.239 time that then goes into their digestive system. And we saw her doing that 511 00:37:57.360 --> 00:38:00.679 during that two and a half days, you know, so she's had food 512 00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:02.239 in there and she was doing well. Okay, Well, the sun is 513 00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:07.760 coming up on the Big Bear Valley area and we can see that Jackie's sitting 514 00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:12.880 there all hunkered down, and we're just waiting and waiting, and you have 515 00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:15.800 like thousands of people watching this camera at any given time. Now, is 516 00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:21.519 it really it's really kind of taken hold, hasn't it. It has Everybody 517 00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:24.280 I think is just fascinated with being able to see the eagles so close up 518 00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:30.280 and see how they behave and what they do and their personality. And I 519 00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:35.079 love that everybody is getting to watch nature this close up. Yep Oh producer 520 00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:37.559 Ann had a question one one last question for you. How do the eggs 521 00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:42.400 get nutrition? How do those little babies grow because they don't they're not attached 522 00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:45.360 to an umbilical cord or anything. No, they've got that's what the yolk 523 00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:51.440 is in sighte of the egg when it first starts, okay, and so 524 00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:57.559 they eat off of that yolk the whole time, okay. And how when 525 00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:01.039 they come when they come out, there's already a little tiny eglet and it 526 00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:06.440 just gets bigger and bigger. And when it gets too too full for when 527 00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:08.400 it gets you know, cramped quarters, that's when it decides to come out, 528 00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:14.800 right exactly when it runs out of air really okay, then it then 529 00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:19.320 it has to poke the membrane on the inside first and then start poking the 530 00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:22.400 shell to get out. Okay. Well, Jackie and Shadow have been doing 531 00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:24.239 their job, and we'll be watching. Thank you so much for the update, 532 00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:28.920 Sandy Steers. We appreciate it, and uh, I know I will 533 00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:32.920 be watching. And it's a it's on the YouTube channel and it's the uh 534 00:39:34.039 --> 00:39:37.159 just look for Big Bear Eagle Cam and you can watch them anytime. Thanks. 535 00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:42.840 On our website, oh Friends a Big Bear Valley dot org, you 536 00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:45.920 can also watch it. Great. Thank you so much, thank you. 537 00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:49.559 Okay, thanks Sandy. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out 538 00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:52.960 of the KFI twenty four our newsroom. I know it's ridiculous. I'm obsessed 539 00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:55.760 with these things, but they're so so cool, all right. The Supreme 540 00:39:55.800 --> 00:40:00.679 Court is expected to issue one or more opinions today. ABC's Royal Oaks says 541 00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:05.159 the court could rule on whether former President Trump can be kicked off the twenty 542 00:40:05.239 --> 00:40:08.000 twenty four ballot in Colorado. The expectation is that the High Court will issue 543 00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:13.039 its opinion in the Colorado case that found Trump was barred from the ballot as 544 00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:16.760 an insurrectionist. The timing makes sense because as a huge number of citizens go 545 00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:22.079 to the polls the next day to vote in several Super Tuesday primaries, He 546 00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:24.880 says, the Supreme Court likely wants voters to be aware of its decision. 547 00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:30.039 Voters in southern California can get their primary ballots in before Super Tuesday on this 548 00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:35.199 last day of early voting centers are open for people to either vote in person 549 00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:38.039 or drop ballots off. They can still be mailed in as long as they're 550 00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:44.159 postmarked by election Day, which is tomorrow. Nikki Haley says she no longer 551 00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:47.440 feels bound by a pledge to the Republican National Committee to support the party's presidential 552 00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:52.159 nominee. So you're no longer bound by that pledge. No, I think 553 00:40:52.199 --> 00:40:57.400 I'll make what decision I want to make. Hailey says she is not obligated 554 00:40:57.440 --> 00:41:02.239 to endorse former President Trump. She complete that the RNC is now Trump's RNC. 555 00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:07.800 A woman in West Hollywood says she caught a neighbor on her doorbell camera 556 00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:12.280 drawing what looks like a swastika on her groceries, which were outside her front 557 00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:15.599 door. The man denied it when he was confronted in December. The woman 558 00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:20.639 says she's still in shock. She says she believes the alleged anti semitism was 559 00:41:20.679 --> 00:41:24.199 because she put up an Israeli flag. Trader Joe's has recalled more than sixty 560 00:41:24.239 --> 00:41:30.239 one thousand pounds of chicken soup dumplings because they could contain hard plastic from a 561 00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:35.599 permanent marker of all things. The recall is for six ounce packs of steamed 562 00:41:35.719 --> 00:41:42.039 chicken soup dumplings. They're produced by Cjfoods Manufacturing, Beaumont Corporation. NASA and 563 00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:45.519 SpaceX are celebrating, and they have every reason to the successful launch of the 564 00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:51.920 Crew eight mission to the International Space Station. The SpaceX crew Dragon Endeavor atop 565 00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:55.280 a Falcon nine booster, lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center last night. 566 00:41:55.639 --> 00:42:00.559 The three NASA astronauts and a Russian cosmonaut on board will do and spend six 567 00:42:00.639 --> 00:42:05.000 months on the space station. And as I mentioned earlier, I just happened 568 00:42:05.039 --> 00:42:07.119 to be kind of channel surfing right about when it was getting ready to lift 569 00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:10.760 off, and the channel that had it on said we're just gonna watch this 570 00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:14.199 for a minute. And I love it when they do that. The commentators 571 00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:19.360 just are quiet and you watch, you know, real life unfolding. And 572 00:42:19.559 --> 00:42:22.280 I haven't watched a launch in a while. It was pretty spectacular. You 573 00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:24.239 could probably go google it and watch it over again, but really cool to 574 00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:29.480 see.
