WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:03.839 Hey, it's Jennifer Jones. Lee. You're listening to KFI, a M 2 00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:10.720 six forty wake up call on demand on the iHeartRadio apps. Tuesdays aren't so 3 00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:18.839 bad when they start with Jennifer Jones Late. Here she is with your morning 4 00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:28.719 wake up call. God bless America. Have you? Are you one of 5 00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:34.920 those people like me who actually has a summer wardrobe and a winter wardrobe. 6 00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.799 Not that I'm not fancy pants, but I'm just saying for closet space, 7 00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:45.399 right Like I like to take all the sweatshirts out, hold them up, 8 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:50.439 I put them away in the spare bedroom closet because I don't need them anymore. 9 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:57.600 It's spring, it's summer. And then we get this this cold front 10 00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:00.159 that's sitting over the top of us right now. Now, remember over the 11 00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:07.239 weekend, I was in my garage sweating my bohunkas off because it was like 12 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:15.040 close to ninety And this morning I get in the car and it's fifty something 13 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:22.280 at any point, and mother Nature's gonna be fickle basically all week. So 14 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:25.840 I already got some sprinkles and things on the way in this morning, so 15 00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:30.400 you'll probably encounter that as well. And then the bulk of the actual rain 16 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.040 isn't supposed to come until tomorrow and Thursday, maybe stay into Friday and then 17 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.000 warm again for the weekend. But you know what, let's be honest if 18 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.959 this is what we have to gripe about in the world. Oh hey, 19 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:48.079 he can't put my sweatshirt away. I feel like life's pretty good, am 20 00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:52.799 I right? Tyler? I like the cold, well, I do too. 21 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:55.599 I don't want to ever have to put my sweatshirt away. As what 22 00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:00.599 I'm saying, I see it. I'll find a way to wear it. 23 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:06.560 Okay, it'll be that in a speedo to work or not. Let's talk 24 00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.400 about the writers, Okay. In La they say they're going on strike for 25 00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:15.000 the first time in fifteen years because the studios and the riders failed to reach 26 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.360 a contract. Sad story. Three people have been killed in the crash of 27 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:22.319 a small plane in Big Bear, and then two teen boys were stabbed in 28 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:27.120 front of LA High School. Five oh five. Do we have possible progress 29 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:32.599 in the debt ceiling talks? Maybe? And this follows Janet Yellen issuing a 30 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:37.800 pretty dire warning. So we'll get into that with Karen Traverse in just a 31 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:39.919 few minutes. Let's start with some of these stories coming out of the KFI 32 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:45.439 twenty four hour newsroom. Writers in LA say they are going on strike for 33 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.759 the first time in fifteen years, as studios and riders just could not reach 34 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.080 a new agreement. Fifteen years has passed since the Writers Guild of America last 35 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:57.879 win on a strike that lasted one hundred days and cost the industry billions. 36 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:01.360 The union says half of its overall eleven thousand members are earning minimal wages, 37 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:07.000 and in LA it's not nearly enough to get by. The union says streaming 38 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.919 services I've cut down the number of episodes in a series, which cuts working 39 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:15.360 hours. The union says about ninety eight percent of its members last month voted 40 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:20.280 for a strike if an agreement couldn't be reached. Chris Adler ka FI News 41 00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:27.120 okay. So, which shows will be impacted the most? Looks like immediately 42 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:31.400 the new episodes of Jimmy Kimmel Live, That Tonight show starring Jimmy Fallon, 43 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:36.560 Real Time with Bill Meyer, maher I always want to call them my heart, 44 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:42.280 Late Night with Seth Myers, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. All 45 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:47.159 of those also daytime TV and soap operas will feel the impact of ongoing production 46 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:57.360 schedules. Shout out to my boy Ken. You know, Scottie Baldwin and 47 00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:00.439 I are buddies. We had like ten minute conversation at the car washed over 48 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.439 here. I know, Tyler, I know that you're shaking your head because 49 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:10.400 you're jealous. Do you want to see me and Scottie Baldwin jj LKFI. 50 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.479 I wasn't weird or anything at the end of it, once I realized who 51 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.160 it was and that, oh my god, I'm having a conversation with Scottie 52 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:21.639 Baldwin at the car wash, and I was like, hey, before you 53 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:27.480 leave, can we take a selfie? Nicest guy ever by the way, 54 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.000 all right, let's get back to some of these other stories. He was 55 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.480 fantastic. Three people have been killed in the crash of a small plane in 56 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:38.240 Big Bear. That plane went down in a field yesterday afternoon, about a 57 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.839 mile east of the Big Bear Airport. Cruise arrived in minutes and they found 58 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:45.839 three people aboard the plane dead at the scene. Two boys were stabbed in 59 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.279 front of La High School. The students who were taken to the hospital yesterday, 60 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:55.639 School district Superintendent Alberto Carvallo says students deserve to go to school free of 61 00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:59.839 fear. He says that counselors and mental health support will be provided to the 62 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.920 who need it. Police will be around campus today for additional security. A 63 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:09.639 man from Westlake Village has admitted to selling heroin that resulted in a fatal overdose. 64 00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:13.680 Prosecutors say Bradford Shepley and two other men were cut on security cameras in 65 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.399 a target parking lots selling the heroin. US Attorney spokesman Karen McAvoy says the 66 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:21.600 man who bought the drugs in twenty seventeen overdose the next day. The victim 67 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:26.600 was twenty three years old, an overdose in the heroine in his bedroom at 68 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:30.120 his parents' house. Shepley will be sentenced in August. Prosecutors have agreed to 69 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.879 recommend no more than fifteen and a half years of prison. Bloy Trolley, 70 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.199 k if I News, Karen Travers, Good morning to you from the White 71 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:42.160 House correspondence dinner to right back into all right, let's talk about the debt 72 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:45.279 ceiling now. So how are things? Do we have any progress in the 73 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.600 debt ceiling talks? It was a really busy day yesterday and there was a 74 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:55.279 flurry set off when Janet Yellen, the Treasury Secretary, released a letter that 75 00:05:55.439 --> 00:06:00.240 she had sent to congressional leaders saying that the new date now the warning that 76 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:04.439 the US could default on its debts as early as June first. This moves 77 00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:09.160 up the timeline slightly, and it's also the most firm date we have seen 78 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:13.199 from the Treasury Secretary. And what this means now is that the US is 79 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:17.920 essentially one month away from a potential economic catastrophe if Congress doesn't act. She 80 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.560 sent this letter and said that the lawmakers need to raise the debt feeling as 81 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:28.920 soon as possible or risk severe hardship to American families and harm to our global 82 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:34.040 leadership position, the US position. And this has sparked some actual action. 83 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:39.600 Now we'll see what it does. But the President yesterday, we have learned, 84 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.759 has invited congressional leaders to the White House for talks on May ninth. 85 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.639 Kevin McCarthy, the House Speaker, has accepted that invitation and they will then 86 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:53.639 sit down and talk about things. They're not budging on their positions on this 87 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:57.680 based on what they were all saying last night, but at least there's a 88 00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:01.279 conversation taking place and we'll see where that goes next week at the White House 89 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:05.959 when we are at loggerheads like this, but we have a fall off the 90 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:12.959 cliff impending? What is it? Or what typically or should I say maybe 91 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:16.600 who typically has to break or bend a little bit more than the other side. 92 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.319 Yeah, that's the great question. And you know, you start looking 93 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:28.079 at politics here and there's always a blame game, and who looks like they're 94 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:32.040 going to get more of the blame and who the politics reflect badly on, 95 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:39.079 and everybody starts sizing up how this might work for them. The talking point 96 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:43.199 that the White House keeps hitting on is that Republicans, when they were in 97 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:48.079 charge of Congress during the Trump administration, raised the dead ceiling three times without 98 00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:53.439 any conditions, and they should do the same thing now, but they're doing 99 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:56.439 it with strings attached, or that's what they want to do right now, 100 00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:01.160 with strings attached, and they're saying that is pure politics. Republicans are saying 101 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:05.160 enough is enough. That is why we're trying to do it with strings attached. 102 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.959 Because spending is out of control and we have to draw a hard line 103 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.360 here because we need to reign in federal spending. The President's response to that 104 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:18.120 is sure, let's have that conversation, but only when a threat of a 105 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.720 desault is taken off the table and the US economy is no longer in jeopardy. 106 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.199 Okay. And I feel like that threat is not even not taken off 107 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.959 the table. It was put on the table by Janet Yellen. So somebody's 108 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.559 got a break at some point here. Yeah, Yeah, that threat, 109 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:35.919 it's still very much on the table. That threat is coming on June first, 110 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:41.480 and until Congress passes legislation to raise the dead ceiling, it will still 111 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.440 be on the table. And that's an important point here too. The president 112 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:48.320 can't just raise the debt limit himself. Congress has to pass legislation, then 113 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.480 he has to sign it. The House did pass legislation last week that raised 114 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:54.240 the debt limit, but it had all those other things attached to it that 115 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:58.759 the president would not sign. It was also dead on arrival in the Senate. 116 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:05.519 They weren't even history so much and might help to do is just sit 117 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.799 as they have done before. All right, Karen, thank you so much. 118 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:15.159 That was good timing when we were starting to lose. You have a 119 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.600 great day, see you later. Thanks bye. That's ABC's Karen Travers, 120 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.320 it was all going so well until the end. So we'll see what happens 121 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:31.679 today. So it's um the President having Kevin McCarthy, Chuck Schumer, I 122 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:37.559 saw Mitch McConnell. So you've got all the big boys coming in to try 123 00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.279 and talk, and it'll be interesting what concessions are made. I do feel 124 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:46.919 like they're not going to let us default, and so honestly, with Kevin 125 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.679 McCarthy saying like, hey, I'm not going to move, I'll agree to 126 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:56.320 meet with you as of right now that we're in the you know, May 127 00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:03.039 second, we have until June one in political time, or in Washington, 128 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.919 DC time, that's eons. So I have a feeling they'll get something hammered 129 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.559 out. Don't mark my words or anything, but I just have a feeling. 130 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.159 Let's get back to some of these stories coming out of the KFI twenty 131 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.840 four hour newsroom. California's Department of Water Resources has done its fifth snow survey 132 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:26.960 of the season near Lake Tahoe so the stick. The manual survey yesterday recorded 133 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:31.240 fifty nine inches of snow depth and a snow water equivalent of thirty inches, 134 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.639 which is two hundred forty one percent of average for that location. On May 135 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:41.639 first, electronic greetings from one hundred thirty snow sensors that were put all around 136 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:46.559 the state, So the statewide snowpack is now equivalent of forty nine point two 137 00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.759 inches. That's still two hundred and fifty four percent of average for the date. 138 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.840 Well, the new chief of CalFire says despite all the rain and snow 139 00:10:54.879 --> 00:11:00.799 and so cal it will be a very active wildfire season. Joe Tyler says 140 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.519 the first quarter of this year has already been a busy one. CalFire in 141 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:07.440 the California Fire Service has already responded to more than one hundred and sixty three 142 00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:11.840 thousand emergencies across the state. End of those, he says, six hundred 143 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:16.320 forty were wildfires, with one hundred thirty five of those in just the last 144 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.480 week. Tyler said yesterday, as they kickoff Wildfire Awareness Week, people need 145 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.320 to realize it's not if, but when they'll be impacted by a wildfire. 146 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.639 In Chino Hills, Steve Gregory Koff, I knew, see that's what I 147 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:31.399 was telling you about my firefighter buddy. He was telling me that those fires 148 00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:35.440 that had popped up already in sam Ernardino and the Riverside counties. I believe 149 00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:41.080 the thing is that, yeah, we had a great season of water. 150 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:46.840 It was wonderful, but then it caused all this fuel to grow and then 151 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.840 it dried out. So you know, I'm grateful for this little bit of 152 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.759 rain. Maybe it's going to push you know, the fire season at least 153 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.360 by a few days. Anything would help, but it makes sense that this 154 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:03.240 could be a real humdinger of a season. At least six people have been 155 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.399 killed in the highway crash in Illinois that happened during a severe dust storm. 156 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.480 The pile up yesterday involved more than seventy cars, trucks, and tractor trailers. 157 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:13.720 One woman says she was driving toward the crash when a guy on a 158 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:18.440 motorcycle warned her to stop. His motorcycle was covered with the dust. He 159 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:22.240 was covered with the dust, and he said had he had had to bust 160 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.600 out a couple of one of those in a ladies car to pull her out. 161 00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:31.559 Another driver says it felt like a war zone. The National Weather Service 162 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.879 says newly plowed farm fields contributed to all that dust. I heard a cut 163 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:39.039 from a guy today, A SoundBite from a guy who said it looked like 164 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.000 He said, all I could tell you is imagine you're driving along and you 165 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.960 see, oh yeah, there's some dust ahead of you, and then somebody 166 00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:52.279 takes a brown blanket and throws it across your windshield. Thought that was the 167 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:58.240 best description. Writers in LA have rejected a last ditch offer from production companies 168 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.320 allowing for a strike for higher pay. The Writer's Guild of America West is 169 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:07.120 striking for the first time in fifteen years. The WGA says about half of 170 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:11.960 its eleven thousand members are writers who say their work is devalued. The contract 171 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:16.200 between the writers and production companies expired last night. At midnight, the guild 172 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:22.600 told its members all script riding is to immediately cease. We had three people 173 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:24.759 killed in a crash of a small plane in Big Bear. That plane went 174 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.720 down in a field yesterday afternoon, just about a mile east of the Big 175 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:33.639 Bear Airports, so close. Crews arrived in minutes, but found all three 176 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.960 people aboard the plane dead at the scene. Let's say good morning now to 177 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:41.799 ABC's Aeron Katursky, So let's get the latest. If you'd give that to 178 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:48.039 us on a Former L magazine columnist Ejene Carroll, who was accusing former President 179 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.960 Trump of sexual assault. So what was the latest in this, And a 180 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.559 lot of people had wondered. I know, the line of questioning that you 181 00:13:54.600 --> 00:14:00.440 and I were discussing yesterday was Joe Tacapino talking about the defense attorney talking about 182 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:05.840 why she hadn't come forward, And now maybe we're getting that answered. Yeah. 183 00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.080 She says she never came forward because she's a member nearly eighty years old 184 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:15.399 now of what she called the silent generation women of that era who were taught 185 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.279 and trained, she said, to keep their chins up and to not complain. 186 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.279 And she also said that Donald Trump was powerful. A friend advised her 187 00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:26.360 that she had we had like two hundred lawyers and would bury her. So 188 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:30.840 she never thought the police would take her seriously. She also says Jim that 189 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:35.840 she felt shame and she just didn't she would have done anything but go to 190 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:39.000 the police. So that just wasn't in her head, she said. But 191 00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:43.000 good Offense seemed to suggest that not going to the police was part of a 192 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:48.399 series of behaviors that, to the defense, seemed out of step with someone 193 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.159 who had suffered the kind of trauma she claimed to. Not only did she 194 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.639 not go to the police. She didn't seek any medical or psychological help. 195 00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:01.600 She didn't throw away the dress she wore, she didn't stopped shopping at Burgdor's. 196 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.639 There was a list of some two dozen purchases from two thousand and one 197 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.080 to twenty eighteen. She said she watched Donald Trump on The Apprentice because she 198 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.919 said she thought it was a good show. So all of these things to 199 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:18.799 the defense, you know, it seemed to infer that maybe this didn't happen 200 00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:24.000 because Carol didn't act like it happened. See, and that's that's where we 201 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:30.159 start to split hairs over how should a victim of rape behave? Who the 202 00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:35.080 hell knows? I mean that everybody's going to react differently. And that's what 203 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:41.720 the redirect her attorney suggested. You know, is there a prescribe to set 204 00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:46.360 a behavior that a you know, a rape victim should behave like and that 205 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:50.840 you know, egene, Carol said, no, some women scream, some 206 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:52.799 don't, some go to the pullies, some don't, I mean, And 207 00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:56.639 so she had even told the defense attorney at one point, and you can't 208 00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.519 beat up on me for not screaming. He raped me, she said, 209 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:06.559 whether you know, I screamed or not. So she has an answer for 210 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:12.679 every every question or inference the defense raised. It's just a matter of what, 211 00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:18.120 you know, how the jury sees her, because she did describe a 212 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.000 kind of a public persona the magazine advice columnist who always said her life was 213 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:27.200 fabulous because she didn't want to burden anyone with her problems, versus the private 214 00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:33.080 person who says she suffered because of this attack from the mid nineteen nineties. 215 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:37.440 You know, I think in just hearing this and kind of a lot of 216 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.720 the things would then go to a he said, she said, or a 217 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:45.480 how should a rape victim ac kind of thing. The only thing that I 218 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.639 think is a little bit strange that I feel like Tacopino can kind of hang 219 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:52.720 his hand on for a little bit was the fact that she watched The Apprentice. 220 00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:57.360 And again it's not to say how a rape victim would act, but 221 00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:00.919 it just seems like for her to call it what she call it, like 222 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:07.799 a witty competition show or something like that. For her to enjoy it that 223 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:11.720 way, I guess is a little bit strange. I mean, I guess 224 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:14.880 maybe he could kind of pick that apart, like you had an opportunity not 225 00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:18.799 to see the guy that you claim raped you, yet you continually watched his 226 00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.079 show. Maybe that's a little bit weird. Well, that that I think 227 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.119 was the whole point of the cross examination, Like she did all these weird 228 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.440 things. You saved the dress, you didn't burn it, you know, 229 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:32.279 she said, oh, it's a lovely dress. You asked the apprentice. 230 00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:34.440 But I thought it was a very good TV show. I enjoyed the competitions. 231 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:41.039 You know, she did other things. She kept shopping at burnt Or. 232 00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:44.319 She said it's not a place I'm afraid to enter, and that there 233 00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:48.359 was a list of like two dozen purchases that totaled more than thirteen thousand dollars. 234 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:52.880 So, you know, there's some quirky things about her her story that 235 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.119 the defense tried to exploit. And again, you know, she's got an 236 00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:00.759 answer. It's just whether the jury, you know, use it or sees 237 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:04.480 it as evidence that she made something up as the defense suggests, to sell 238 00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:07.640 a book. All right, thank you so much, Aaron for the update. 239 00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:14.519 Thanks all right, see you later. ABC's Aeron Katursky, Im, 240 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:21.680 that is not a jury I would want to sit on, I think because 241 00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:26.640 the reason that I would would hesitate to want to be on that jury. 242 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:37.160 Is there is a question about the timing of her coming forward and it coinciding 243 00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:45.160 with the book. On the other hand, you never want to try and 244 00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:53.400 I guess dissect or split hairs on how or when a victim of rape should 245 00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:59.680 act. If Donald Trump did those things to her, who is like, 246 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:03.400 you know, we should be ashamed. If we're trying to say that, 247 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.119 there's some I don't know guideline, check the boxes. This is how a 248 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.079 rape victim is supposed to act. You know what, until you're raped, 249 00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:14.920 what do we know? How do I know I would act? How do 250 00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:18.799 you know you would act? I don't know. But the social media part 251 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:25.960 and the why I'm watching Donald Trump on the Apprentice part, that's a little 252 00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:32.079 that's a little odd. And the part about the timing with the book and 253 00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:37.279 the allegations maybe stick to those, But yeah, dissecting how a rape victim 254 00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:42.400 should act. No. Seven bodies have been found at a rural property in 255 00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:48.079 Oklahoma during the search for two missing teenagers. Parts go out to the families 256 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:52.880 and friends, school mates and everyone else, and it's just a tragedy. 257 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.880 Sheriff Eddie Rice says. The remains found yesterday are believed to include the two 258 00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:02.559 teens and a convicted sex offender. Police were also looking for the teens had 259 00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:07.079 apparently been traveling with him. The bodies were found near the town of Henrietta, 260 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:18.000 which is about ninety miles east of Oklahoma City. Singer songwriter Gordon Lightfoot 261 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.799 has died. His family, says the Canadian Folks. Singer died of natural 262 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:26.079 causes yesterday at a hospital in Toronto. He was known for songs like That 263 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:30.200 One, Carefree, Highway, Sundown, and The Wreck of Edmund. The 264 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:36.799 Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald got. He received five Grammy nominations. Over the 265 00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:45.000 years. He won seventeen Juno Awards. Gordon Lightfoot was eighty four Suddendown's My 266 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:48.759 Favorite Not that you care, but I love that song. A United Airlines 267 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:56.759 passenger on a flight from San Francisco to Houston had to be restrained after he 268 00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:03.359 apparently got mad because they asked him to move seats. Naya Jimenez, who 269 00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.240 was also on the flight Sunday, says the man was combative with airline staff 270 00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.440 and nearly jumped out of the plane at one point. After he paused for 271 00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:15.559 a minute, he ran towards where the like the pilot area is where the 272 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:19.599 emergency exit doors are, and attempted to open it. Successfully opened the emergency 273 00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:25.240 exit, She says, a bunch of people pulled the guy back. Are 274 00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:29.039 we really at that point in society where hi, sir, can you move? 275 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:34.359 Wah? Is that where we are now? Oh? This story so 276 00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:38.680 bizarre, such a one in a million kind of thing. Family members of 277 00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:44.400 a bride killed on her wedding night in South Carolina are raising awareness about the 278 00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:48.880 dangers of impaired driving. Samantha Miller was killed Friday when she and her new 279 00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:53.960 husband, Eric were leaving their wedding in a golf cart. Police say the 280 00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:59.400 twenty five a twenty five year old woman, rammed the cart from behind. 281 00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:04.240 Miller's mom says her daughter's alleged killer made a terrible decision that changed lives forever. 282 00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:08.039 She literally ran into my daughter going sixty five miles an hour because Sam 283 00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:12.039 and Eric were on the back of the golf cart, and so she basically 284 00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:18.119 just ran my child. Oh my god. The family says. The groom 285 00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:22.680 is recovering from a brain injury and numerous broken bones after the golf cart rolled 286 00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:27.119 over several times he was thrown a hundred yards. The woman driving has been 287 00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:33.799 charged with three counts of felony dui and one count of reckless homicide. Television 288 00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:37.039 and movie riders are headed to the picket lines. The WGA voted to strike 289 00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:41.559 last night for the first time in fifteen years. Chris Escobar is the executive 290 00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:45.920 director of the Atlanta Film Festival and says the strike will hurt Georgia as well 291 00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:49.880 as New York in LA anything that could put a halt into people being able 292 00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:53.559 to work and to be able to get to work, and for businesses to 293 00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:56.119 be able to supply. I mean, that's obviously a huge concern. The 294 00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:00.640 sag AFTER National Board says it stands in solidity with the union as well as 295 00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:07.680 the Director's Guild of America and the IATs. Negotiations between the studio and the 296 00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:11.640 riders in March, that's when they started, and we still have nothing. 297 00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.039 On the second of May, and the US military says, hey, look 298 00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:18.359 up in the sky, it's a bird. It's a plane. It's another 299 00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:22.960 mysterious balloon. This one's been seen over parts of Hawaii. But they say 300 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.319 it poses no threat to aerial traffic or national security. But They say it's 301 00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:30.799 not clear who it belongs to or what exactly it is. The military has 302 00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:34.920 been tracking the balloon since late last week. Officials say it did not go 303 00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:40.039 over any sensitive areas. A Chinese spy balloon flew over parts of the US 304 00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:45.880 in February February before it was shot down. Jim Ryan, Good morning to 305 00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:49.000 you. So let's talk about you know, a lot of times these an 306 00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:56.079 elderly person sometimes won't shoot Anybody who gets caught in a scam oftentimes just doesn't 307 00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:57.839 say anything because they don't want to look like, oh gosh, I was 308 00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:00.960 that dummy who got caught. Not scam. That's what they're afraid people will 309 00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:06.880 think of. But there's a gentleman eighty years old who's a Navy veteran, 310 00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:10.000 and I love that he's bucking a trend like, hey, I got caught. 311 00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:12.519 You easily could too. Yeah, And that's the warning he's trying to 312 00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:17.000 put out there. His name is John McKendrick. He lives in West Palm 313 00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:19.160 Beach. As he said, he's a Navy veteran, got his master's degree. 314 00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:23.599 Smart guy, he's tech savvy, but he still fell for this scam. 315 00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:29.480 The Norton Security Protection scam. You get a note from Norton Security saying, 316 00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:33.160 hey, your subscription for your computer security is about to expire. Do 317 00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:36.240 you want to renew it or do you want to cancel it? So you 318 00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:40.200 get in touch with the company. What's really frightening to me, Jen is 319 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:42.240 that John McKendrick had the presence of mind to say, no, I don't 320 00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:45.599 know about this. So instead of relying on the phone number that was provided 321 00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:52.559 to him by quote Norton Security Protection unquote, he googled Norton Security Protection, 322 00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:56.960 went out, found the website, and called the phone number that he found 323 00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:02.519 there. He still was connected to scammers. Because these scameras are able to 324 00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:06.799 spoof a website, they can make one very similar to what the actual company 325 00:25:06.839 --> 00:25:11.480 website is, so that makes it extra difficult to try to thwart this kind 326 00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:15.079 of thing. These people are unscrupulous, and you might think, well, 327 00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.079 they say, well, this guy's eighty years old, he's living on his 328 00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:22.079 retirement, he's just got a little level. Let's leave him alone and move 329 00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:23.960 onto the knocks. No, no, no, no, they were. 330 00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:29.279 They play on that the guy's age, They play on his unfamiliarity with how 331 00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:30.880 the scam wight work. And they know that he's got a pile of money 332 00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:33.559 that he's sitting on to live on, and they don't mind taking it away 333 00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:37.480 from him, So that's what they do. You gotta be careful because companies 334 00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:42.400 like or the scammeras will use a name like Norton or Microsoft or geek Squad 335 00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:47.839 or Amazon in their pitches to try to buy some confidence from you, to 336 00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:49.839 get you to buy into it and say, hmm, this looks legitimate. 337 00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:55.920 Even the phone number on your caller ID might say Microsoft, and you know 338 00:25:55.960 --> 00:26:00.000 it's They're able to spoof just about anything, including websites and phone numbers. 339 00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:02.400 Tyler in my ear while you were talking and said, wait a minute, 340 00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:07.799 he googled it. And and then does Google. Is there any responsibility or 341 00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:10.960 on us on them to make sure that all of the stuff that's on their 342 00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:14.920 website is legit? Well not really, but as soon as they find out 343 00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:18.240 something like that this has happened, they'll yank that website off of there. 344 00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:21.640 And you know, but it's too late then for a lot of folks, 345 00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:25.759 And it would have been for McKendrick if he had not you know, gotten 346 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:27.799 And in fact it was too late for him because he got pulled in the 347 00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:32.599 scammers and had hold of him. They were able to gain access to his 348 00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:34.960 computer, gain his trust. First of all, they call it an a 349 00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:40.039 con because it relies on your confidence. That's what con is short for, 350 00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:44.440 right, And so you know, it's just it's horrific. And I just 351 00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:47.960 hate too that he was planning on using some of this money to go to 352 00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:52.119 London, I guess, to have the what celebration of life for his wife, 353 00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:55.519 right that really I don't know why that part just it kills me. 354 00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.200 Yeah, I mean, ninety four thousand dollars right out the window. And 355 00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:04.359 this was money, you're right, for this tribute to his wife that I 356 00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:07.599 think it was in France actually, but and money that he was going to 357 00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:11.599 live on and now it's gone. So I think he's relying. He's hoping 358 00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:14.799 the bank and maybe the bank will take mercy on him. They've got insurance 359 00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:18.839 and maybe they'll be able to make him whole again. But catching the scammers 360 00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:22.680 almost impossible. Well, I just again give this guy kudos. I mean, 361 00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:26.160 obviously he's a war hero and now he's a hero probably for a lot 362 00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:30.359 of other elderly people, just to give them shoot and not even elderly people. 363 00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:34.519 For me, I appreciate this guy coming forward right here. Whether you're 364 00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:38.839 eighty or eighteen, it's possible to fall for something like this. And because 365 00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:44.720 the scammers are geniuses in a way, evil geniuses. Yeah, exactly, 366 00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:49.039 evil genius. Yeah yeah, I like that. That's better big jerks. 367 00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:52.519 All right, Jim, thank you so much. I appreciate it too. 368 00:27:52.559 --> 00:27:57.680 Yeah. Well, I think that just proves that, you know, it 369 00:27:57.720 --> 00:28:03.960 can happen to anybody, anybody, and you know it now. I don't 370 00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:10.839 know if you're like me, I just assume everything is a scam until you 371 00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:15.240 go to use your credit card and they say that, you know, like 372 00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:18.720 it'll get declined, and you're like what And you call the company and they 373 00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:22.079 say, we called you five days ago because we suspected fraud, and you 374 00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:26.599 never called us back. I thought that was spam. I didn't think it 375 00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:33.440 was actually you guys that might have happened to one of us. They turn 376 00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:36.279 it right back on, you know, they just go through that did you 377 00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:40.319 make this purchase? Yes? Did you make this purchase? Yes? But 378 00:28:40.440 --> 00:28:42.279 now, in the assumption that I'm going to get, you know, screwed 379 00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:45.799 over by something, I just don't do anything anymore, tell us you're a 380 00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:49.160 shopoholic, gen without telling us that you're a shopoholic, A bit of a 381 00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:55.759 shopoholic when your credit card company says there's irregular activity on your account because you're 382 00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:57.519 shopping so much. You know what, though, But if they looked, 383 00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:03.400 it would probably be like what, she didn't go to Target or Goodwill or 384 00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:07.000 eBay. She actually went to a real store. She went to a Nordstrom 385 00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:14.079 rack. What cause for concern? I'm telling you. Former President Trump will 386 00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:18.480 be on CNN again. CNN says the former president has been confirmed for an 387 00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:22.720 appearance at a CNN town hall. Caitlin Collins will moderate the town hall at 388 00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:26.559 Saint Anselm's College in New Hampshire next week. The booking may be a sign 389 00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:30.119 that Trump is trying to reach beyond Republicans to find more votes for the twenty 390 00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:33.240 twenty four election. CNN has been trying to get more Republicans to appear on 391 00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:37.319 its network since new management took over. This would be Trump's first official appearance 392 00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:44.079 on CNN since the twenty sixteen presidential campaign. Amy King KFI News, all 393 00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:48.519 Right, you've heard us talking about AM radio being removed from new cars and 394 00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:52.839 trucks. Yeah, that's a possibility right now. And if you remove access 395 00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:56.440 to the very AM radio stations that millions of Americans count on, like this 396 00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:02.680 one for local emergency information, especially when your cell phone is down, you've 397 00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:07.839 now lost power and then AM is the lifeline. Right THEEMA and first responders 398 00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:14.599 across the country rely heavily on AM radio to deliver public warnings and emergency because 399 00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:19.039 of AM's unmatched reach resiliency. And don't forget it's free now. This hits 400 00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:22.039 home for most of us. And do you think it's right for you to 401 00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:26.559 lose access to KFI when you're on the road. I didn't think. So. 402 00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:29.880 You need to make your voice heard on this issues. How can you 403 00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:33.799 do that? Text the letters AM to five to eight eight six and tell 404 00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:40.000 Congress to keep AM radio in all cars and trucks. That's the letters AM 405 00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:44.759 to five to eight eight six and tell Congress. Hey, Congress, people, 406 00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:48.759 keep AM radio in all our cars and trucks. Standard messaging and data 407 00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:55.279 rates apply. Michelle Steinberg joins us this morning the director of the Wildlife Division 408 00:30:55.319 --> 00:31:00.920 of the National Fire Protection Association. Michelle, Good morning to you. Good 409 00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:03.440 morning, Jennifer. You know I was just doing a story. One of 410 00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:08.359 my reporters had filed something about how this fire season, specifically CalFire was talking 411 00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:12.039 about this fire season. Yeah, the rain was awesome, but then all 412 00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:17.079 that rain turns into fuel, that fuel dries out and look at all the 413 00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:21.920 potential for wildfires we have. And so that just perfectly coincided with what you're 414 00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:26.279 talking about today, right, we're talking about Wildfare Community Preparedness Day, which 415 00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:30.160 is this coming Saturday, May sixth, and it's a chance for people to 416 00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:36.039 get ahead of when those fuels will dry out and get prepared for wildfire. 417 00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:41.279 If you have a house that's got I don't know, any space around it, 418 00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.680 I know, we talk about defensible space and if you're on a property 419 00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:52.039 that's got some land about around it, what is the proper defensible space area 420 00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.000 that you should have? Right, so we talk about preparing your home and 421 00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:01.400 working your way out into that so called defensible space, and really what it's 422 00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:07.880 doing is working in this area that can help prevent your home from igniting from 423 00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:13.559 a wildfire. So these colncepts are very similar, and what we try to 424 00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:16.440 focus on is getting people to take a look at their roof, walls, 425 00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:22.319 windows, vents, any place ember can catch and ignite or enter the home 426 00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:27.200 to try to prevent that, and then working out starting with the first five 427 00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:30.400 feet away from your house, and that extent could go out to about one 428 00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:35.839 hundred feet. It really depends on the property parcel itself, but even in 429 00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:38.279 that first five feet you can make a real difference in the safety of your 430 00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:40.880 home. And you know, one thing that we all hate to do is 431 00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:45.279 clean out our gutters. Nobody likes that. But if you think about all 432 00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:50.519 of the fuel that's in those gutters and God forbid an ember come along like 433 00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:55.200 that boom, you've got an attic fire and forget your house right. Cleaning 434 00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:59.680 your gutters seems like such a kind of ordinary, boring thing to do, 435 00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:02.960 but it's really effective. And if you notice that you're getting a lot of 436 00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:07.079 material onto your roof and guard as you might think about working whether it's a 437 00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:12.039 tree specialist or a landscape or to see can we trim back some of those 438 00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:15.559 overhanging branches that could also pose an issue, or trying to reduce some of 439 00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:20.559 that debris that comes down onto your house and right around your house. That's 440 00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:22.920 real important to rake out. Also at the base of the house, to 441 00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:27.440 get that kind of material away from your siding, away from the edge of 442 00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:30.720 your home, just within about that five feet. And you know one thing 443 00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:32.559 that a lot of us, You sit on your couch, you look out 444 00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:36.440 the window, you see the grass is a little high in the yard. 445 00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:39.160 But you don't you think yourself, I'll get it next weekend, and maybe 446 00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:44.160 next weekend is going to be a little too late. Well, that's the 447 00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:47.920 thing. What we're trying to do with this Welfare Community Preparedness Day is a 448 00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:52.240 reminder, in a rallying call to say, hey, let's get out there 449 00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:54.079 now. Hopefully it's good weather and you can go take care of things. 450 00:33:54.680 --> 00:33:59.240 And sometimes working with your family, working with your neighbors, that can make 451 00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:04.680 as that are pretty mundane a little bit more enjoyable. So that's another great 452 00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:09.679 aspect of our having our prep day happen on May six. So that's that's 453 00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:15.079 just something we recommend that people kind of stay on that maintenance. That's one 454 00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:17.440 of the most important things you can do and really really effective. And one 455 00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:22.400 of the things that I never even thought about, but was that a lot 456 00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:28.159 of people store stuff under their decks or porches and those things might ignite I 457 00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:30.800 never even kind of thought about that. I thought, oh, they're under 458 00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:32.840 there. It's kind of wet and moist, you know, damp underneath your 459 00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:37.840 deck. But I guess that can just as easily ignite as anything else. 460 00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:42.000 Sure, and so a lot of times if you've got an elevated deck, 461 00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:46.559 what we would recommend is think about some screening or as you say, remove 462 00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:51.480 some of those items that might be flammable if embers, if debris is blowing 463 00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:54.880 in there, say like pine needles or other things are collecting there, you 464 00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:59.079 know that embers are going to go there too. So that's where that's where 465 00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:01.239 we try to pay attention and too. That is, anything attached to your 466 00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:06.239 house is part of your house. When fire is concerned, it will have 467 00:35:06.320 --> 00:35:09.440 that path of ignition right to the home. So that's why we recommend to 468 00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:14.119 clear out those areas as much as you can for anything that could catch fire. 469 00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:19.239 Where can people go for all this information. We have a great website 470 00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:24.440 at Wildfire prep day dot org. It's part of NFPAS websites that gives tips 471 00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:28.960 and tools. It's got some great little videos to actually show you some of 472 00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:32.400 the things you can do. Project Toolkit. If people are excited about what 473 00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:35.760 they're going to do on May six, they can share that on a map 474 00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:40.039 and tell the world about it, and that's just a great place to start, 475 00:35:40.360 --> 00:35:43.920 all right. Thank you so much for your time, Michelle, and 476 00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:47.800 hopefully people me heed this warning and go around the house and just see, 477 00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:52.199 you know, what could catch fire, and you know, just do a 478 00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:55.280 tiny little bit of maintenance might be you know, a big help in the 479 00:35:55.320 --> 00:36:00.440 future should a wildfire ever start around you. Thanks Michelle, Thank you, 480 00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:04.920 Jennifer, See you later. That is Michelle Steinberg. She is director of 481 00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:10.199 the Wildlife Division of the National Fire Protection Association. Some one of my parents 482 00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:15.960 lived up in the Sticks in Shingletown, literal sticks. I think they were 483 00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:22.800 on like I don't know, maybe two acres or something like that, and 484 00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:27.519 they are like, oh my gosh, I know my dad listens to the 485 00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:30.800 show sometime. Dad. I love you, but holy Cannoli, are you 486 00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:36.800 anal about fire protection? Good for you, dad, see Tyler's in the 487 00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:39.880 will now stay safe out there, dad. Yes, I'm not anymore. 488 00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:46.000 But he would get and I'm not joking you. He would cut down trees 489 00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:50.639 himself, like the digger pines, the ones that you know are kind of 490 00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:54.840 the skinny. They're the skinny ones that fall in our big fire danger. 491 00:36:55.599 --> 00:37:01.599 He'd cut those down himself. He'd go rent man lift. There's Bob and 492 00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:07.280 the man lift cutting down tree limbs and whatever. Y'all ever have a fire? 493 00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:13.960 No, thankfully. However, the properties on the not the one side 494 00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:16.599 of them, but the property on another side of them. Holy cow. 495 00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:23.119 I don't think they ever raked a pine needle or a whatever. And no, 496 00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:25.719 no, there were no There were no fires on their street, Tyler. 497 00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:29.679 So nobody had a fire. Nobody had a fire. However, I'm 498 00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:34.519 trying to make a point, but now he just walked away from the mic. 499 00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:40.159 The point is, you gotta encourage your neighbors to do the same, 500 00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:47.639 because if the house on the other side of them had done some actual fire 501 00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:54.840 prevention, maybe if there was a fire, Tyler, that house wouldn't have 502 00:37:54.880 --> 00:38:00.880 caught fire. I'm just saying, there was no fire on the street, 503 00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:07.360 Tyler. Shout out to Shingletown this morning. Good for you, Shingletown. 504 00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:14.920 Five environmental and cultural heritage groups are suing the FAA over the recent SpaceX launch 505 00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:17.840 in Texas that ended with that big boom. Now, the groups accused the 506 00:38:17.960 --> 00:38:24.599 FAA of approving the test launch without a comprehensive environmental review. Remember all of 507 00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:30.440 the dust and things that everybody was talking about in that area right after the 508 00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:36.039 rocket exploded four minutes after liftop on April twentieth, But it was actually the 509 00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:44.519 launchpad that went you know, also kapui and that concrete metal rained down over 510 00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:47.960 a six mile area once you had the blowup. That on top of all 511 00:38:47.960 --> 00:38:53.519 the damage that was done from the launch pad, it was tough. The 512 00:38:53.599 --> 00:39:00.480 FDIC has recommended the US rethink it's decades old policy of ensure up to two 513 00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:05.480 hundred and fifty thousand dollars in bank deposits. It recommends replacing it with an 514 00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:10.199 overhaul that would let regulators cover higher amounts on a targeted basis. Interest rates 515 00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:15.519 are going up. That's creating challenges in managing interest rate risks. That's a 516 00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:17.840 basic thing that any bankers should be able to do. There are a few 517 00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:22.599 banks out there that have not managed their risk will. Former FDIC director Sheila 518 00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:27.920 Bears says when she worked for the organization, she did not have enough examiners 519 00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:30.599 and had deep cutbacks, and she says she's sad to see the problem still 520 00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:35.719 exist. The proposal comes as we were talking about yesterday, first to a 521 00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:42.840 public bank failed to be the second largest bank collapse in US history. They 522 00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:47.199 say, good fences make good neighbors, right, but the internet makes neighbors 523 00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:51.760 worse. Any study says the average person is not spoken to their neighbor in 524 00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:54.880 three weeks, but they still enjoy posting passive, aggressive stuff about those same 525 00:39:54.960 --> 00:40:00.960 neighbors on social media community pages, researchers saying more than half of those surveyed 526 00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:04.920 enjoyed the sniping and mud slinging and local online groups, with thirty four percent 527 00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:07.920 saying it's pure entertainment. Many won't deal with their neighbors face to face to 528 00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:13.119 resolve issues like loud dogs or parking issues, but they'll post about it online. 529 00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:15.239 About ten percent said they'd like to get to know their neighbors, but 530 00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:20.840 they're unsure how to go about doing so. Michael Krozer k if I News, 531 00:40:20.920 --> 00:40:24.480 All right, not only am I friends with my neighbors? Tyler is 532 00:40:24.480 --> 00:40:30.480 now friends with my neighbors neighbor?

I have 539 00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:05.760 Norma down the street who's worked at Michael's for I think she said thirty seven 540 00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:12.079 years. That's right, Chuck and Shelley across the street, Jerry Arabella and 541 00:41:12.199 --> 00:41:16.639 Madaline who just moved into the house directly across from me, and then there's 542 00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:22.719 Cupcake and Pink Cheeks. I love my neighbors, and I'm not dumb enough 543 00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:29.000 to snipe about them on the community website that they too might be on. 544 00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:34.440 I feel like that's on you if you do something stupid like that. Nick 545 00:41:34.480 --> 00:41:37.480 Paliochini knows everybody. I think you've met half the people that I even talked 546 00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:42.960 about. Nick specifically, say I know all those neighbors in the Cold Side. 547 00:41:43.079 --> 00:41:45.239 Yeah, yeah, Nick's been over the shoot, We've all sat around 548 00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:50.440 for hours.
