You're listening to KFI AM six forty Wake Up Call with me Amy King on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. This is the first full day of spring.
Spring officially arrived last night at eight o'clock. And more importantly, it's baseball
season. The Dodgers and Padres are playing right now in Seoul, South Korea.
Now we're going to do a replay of the game on our sister station,
AM five seventy at noon, or you can also listen to the game
on the iHeartRadio app. I'm not going to tell you what the score is.
It's a good game. So far. Nine hundred and seventy seven million
dollars is on the line Friday night. I mean, you could just be
a billionaire, which is six, you know, if you could just get
all six numbers, since nobody matched all six from last night to mega millions
drawing. Oh and if you don't want to wait till Friday, Powerball has
a drawing tonight. It's worth a me easily, six hundred eighty seven million
dollars. That kind of money is just mind boggling, But I would like
to be boggled by it. That would be great. Here's what's ahead,
on Wake Up Called. Police in Soul, South Korea are investigating an alleged
bomb threat targeting shohe Otani during the MLB season opener between the Dodgers and Padres.
The La Times says the threat is not credible, No bombs were found,
and the person thought to have made the threat as a history of making
false claims. Negotiations to reach a temporary ceasefire in the war between Israel and
Hamas continue. The deal on the table would stop the fighting in exchange for
the release of hostages and an increase in humanitarian aid into Gaza, which the
UN has warned is on the brink of famine. And Albertson's in San Diego
has taken steps to stop retail threat theft at its store. It has been
fenced off. Yep, they fenced the whole store off and now there are
two entrance gates and one exit gate on the other side of the store where
you have to scan your receipt and able to be let out of the gate.
Locked in at Albertson's Great at six oh five, It's handled on the
news. Looks like lawmakers are actually doing their jobs and have passed a deal
to fund the rest of the US government. Let's get started with some of
the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A union representing
DWP workers in La says double dipping by city workers threatens the solvency of the
Water and Power employees retirement system. The union says some workers are getting pensions
and also taking high paying salaries at the Department of Water and Power. IBW
Local eighteen leader Gus coronas La is violating the city charter. We've asked the
city attorney to cease and desist on allowing this practice to continue. We haven't
heard back yet. We've also filed the unfairlyer practice charge. The city Attorney's
office says a response will be issued in writing. A man has been killed
in a shooting involving inn La County Sheriff's deputy in Long Beach. Video from
last night shows the back of a red muscle car on the hood of a
Lakewood Sheriff's Deputy patrol car. Tenant Michael Gomez says the driver of the nineteen
seventies Pontiac apparently put his car in reverse, sped backwards, and crashed as
they were giving him commands. To exit the vehicle. He exited the vehicle
with a knife in hand, at which point ultimately he charged towards deputies.
That's when he was shot. The deputy in the crash patrol car was hurt
and taken to the hospital. LA City and County firefighters have been helping with
the search for a missing swimmer off Dockweler Beach should They have been out there
since last night. Two other possible swimmers were seen on the shore. Former
President Trump has won the Republican primaries in Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Kansas,
and Ohio. President Biden won the Democratic primaries except for Florida. Democrats
canceled their primary and just gave the states two hundred and twenty four delegates to
Biden. A former car dealer backed by former President Trump, I has won
the Republican Senate primary in Ohio. Say we have, but he said that
you were tied to Trump. Let me just say something. I wear with
honor my endorsement of President President Trump. I wear that with a badge of
honor. Bernie Moreno will now run against Democratic Senator Shared Brown in November.
Brown is running for a fourth term in a state Trump won twice. Vietnam's
state news agency says the president has resigned, which is it says, is
raising questions over the direction of Vietnam's fast growing economy. We'll take a closer
look at that developing story, and now let's turn our attention to ABC's Jim
Ryan. So, Jim, we we thought this one was settled, but
my things changed quickly. And of course we're talking about the Texas immigration law.
So tell us what happened yesterday and then what happened last night. Well,
yeah, the Supreme Court yesterday essentially cleared the way for enforcement of SB
four to begin. And again what s before does It creates a state misdemeanor,
a state misdemeanor here in Texas, making it illegal to the border between
the checkpoints. There hadn't been a state law before. It was strictly a
federal law you were breaking by coming into the country illegally. So the creation
of this misdemeanor makes every city police officer, sheriff's deputy essentially a Customs and
Border Patrol agent taking people into custody if they feel these people have came have
come into the country illegally. So for a short time, yesterday, after
the Supreme Court said yeah, you go ahead and enforce it if you want.
Then it was in effect. Now was anybody arrested under s before,
no talent. But within a few hours last night, then the Fifth Now
what the Supreme Court doe. It didn't say you must enforce the law.
It didn't say that's the law of Texas. Now, what it did was
say, Okay, we're going to leave this down to the Fifth US Circuit
Court of Appeals, and in the meantime, we're going to clear the way
for enforcement of S before. Well, the Fifth Circuit last night said hold
on, we're going to tap the brakes again. We're going to stop this
enforcement and hold a hearing on the matter later today. So that's where we
are right now. That's before has been blocked. City police can't legally take
people in the custody if they think they're in the country illegally, and the
Fifth US Circuit Court of Appeals plans to hold a hearing later today. Amy,
Okay, So here's my question, and I'm relying on you because you're
the smart one here. Okay, So the Supreme Court said, okay,
you can move forward. I thought the Supreme Court was the last you know,
the final say, the last line of defense. Well, all it
did, all I was doing was saying it was it was allowing enforcement while
the Fifth Circuit considered this. The Fifth Circuit still has purview over what happens
here in Texas. That's if you appeal far enough out of Texas, then
you end up in New Orleans at the Fifth Circuit and then up to the
US Supreme Court. So, no, didn't it didn't issue a firm ruling.
The Supreme Court didn't. All it said was Fifth Circuit, you guys
stand in New Orleans, you handle it, and in the meantime, yeah,
go ahead and enforce that law if you want. Okay. So it's
now on hold again while the Fifth Circuit kind of makes their decision. You
got it, okay, And then if they decide to block it, then
it could still end up back at the Supreme Court, and then the Supreme
Court would have to issue a ruling if they decided to take it up or
if the if the Appeals Court decides to let it go forward, it'll end
up back at the Supreme Court. I think either way, it's going to
end up back in the hands of the Supreme Court. So this is just
another waypoint in this entire legal process that started in December when kevinor Greg Gabbott
signed this law into a fact. You know, it's been back and forth.
It's been upheld, it's been declined, it's been put on hold.
You know, it's been back and forth. Somebody described it as kind of
like a pickleball match. Used to be tennis, now it's pickleball or racketball.
Okay, football, that doesn't work, never mind, So god,
I haven't played racketball in the years. Okay. So under the law,
they could stop people if they think they're in illegally. So would they mainly
be focusing at the actual border and stopping people from coming across, or just
like finding somebody in a Walmart parking lot and say, hey, you don't
look great. No the former, and in fact, I think that's the
advice that most law enforcers, police sheriff's deputies are being given, is that
you know, you don't pull over somebody in San Antonio and just because you
think they're in the country illegally take them into custody for questioning. Don't do
that. But if you are a police officer, in Eagle Past, Texas,
or in Brownsville or Laredo, in some El Paso right there on the
border, and you see somebody coming across between the checkpoints, then you can
take them into custody. But again, we're talking about a misdemeanor, and
the jails along the border, as everywhere else in the country, are pretty
well packed. So it's up to the discretion of that officer to decide whether
they're going to take this person into custody on this misdemeanor and add someone else
into the jail. Right. So I sort of suspect that even if the
sheriffs are out there saying, yeah, we support this, this is great,
we need to secure the border, that I suspect they're telling their deputies,
look, we don't have room for these people just to go along.
Let's do the thing and be done with it. So, I mean,
it's very political. It's political obviously, it's a fight between the Republican governor
of Texas and the Democratic president of the United States. Okay, and then
would another option, because you're saying that the jails are already full, and
it sounds like the way you explain it, it could just end up being
another form of catch and release, like, huh, here we got you.
We're arresting you. Here's a ticket. Well, we don't have room
for you in the prison. So is another option just to turn them around
at the border and say nope, you can't come across, go back.
Yeah, I think that's an option there too. But carrying through it's a
legal proceeding. Let's say you do arrest somebody, you take them into custody.
It's then up to a judge, not an immigration judge, a federal
judge, but a state district judge to say I'm going to deport you.
They are taking out a whole new responsibility as well. So not only is
a local constable or a local police officer taking on this extra responsibility, state
district judges are as well. Nothing is easy. I just everything just sounds
so convoluted. Hey, do you know of other cases that are pending along
the same lines as as I know that Texas passed its own law, But
are other states looking at doing that? Well, I think they're waiting to
see what happens here. You know, New Mexico, Arizona. I think
Arizona would be the most one, the one most likely to create a statute
sort of like the one here, used this one as a boiler plate,
and put it into place in Arizona, because you know, I think politically
that's Arizona is maybe more conservative. New Mexico has a democratic governor. California
I'm not sure would put something like this into place at all, probably,
so you know, I think Arizona might be the place you would next see
a law like that. Okay, and we will be watching ABC. Jim's
Ryan. Thank you for sorting out the pick a ball for us. You
will, all right, Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Irvine Police say a string of thirty
four burglaries in thirty five days includes at least seven professional burglary crews. That's
about one a day on average. Irvine Police Sergeant Kerry Davies says the burglars
often disabled security cameras, and they typically hit through the backyard, travel up
to the second story window or slider and gain access that way. They're typically
looking for cash, stewey, and items of value that they can put in
a backpack. Davy says homeowners can protect property by installing motion lights around the
property, latching windows, locking doors, and closing garages, and keeping valuables
in an anchored safe that cannot be moved. In Orange County, Corbin Carson
KFI News, new unarmed crisis response teams in LA have begun responding to calls.
LAPD Chief Choi told the Police Commission yesterday. The program started on March
twelfth, and in its first four days responded to eighty three calls for service,
one welfare checks, seventeen calls from indition exposure, thirty nine calls for
disturbance, eight calls for persons suffering from mental illness, eighteen calls of other
types that include trespass and dispute choices. Each time, each team of two
includes people with expertise in mental illness and behavioral health. The pilot program is
being tested in Devonshire, Wilshire and Southeast Divisions. Ev Drivers in Fresno will
have to find other ways to charge their cars since a bunch of charging stations
have been vandalized. Jennifer Clark with Fresno's Planning and Development Office as a situate,
the stations are expensive to maintain. Typical cost of a charging station is
anywhere from fifty to six seventy five thousand dollars. Fresno's parking division manager says
the copper wiring is valuable to thieves. Officials say all the charging stations will
be repaired and working by this summer. Here's something that's not working. Apparently,
it's the reservation system to get a tea time at city golf courses.
So if you are a golfer and a producer, Ann and I were talking
about this because her husband likes to golf at city golf courses and has had
issues booking a tea time. And if you golf, you may know that
it's just almost impossible to get a good tea time, especially like on weekends
or you know, at more prime times. Well, apparently it's because there
are brokers. This just reminds me of like a Ticketmaster scam brokers who are
charging up to forty dollars as a booking fee. So apparently they go in
snap up the tea times like right when they become available, and then they
resell them thirty bucks for non peak hours, forty dollars for a tea time,
and you know some are saying, you know, we go and play
golf, we can't because the earliest tea time available is like four thirty in
the after afternoon, and now they know why. But if you go out
onto the golf courses, the people who play a lot seem to know about
this little underground system going on. And then there's also talk that some of
the more prominent brokers are Korean and they're selling mostly to other Koreans, so
that brings race and class into the whole mix. And the brokers are peddling
times at several golf courses including Griffith Park, Rancho Park, and Hanson Dam.
And the fee is the supposed to be thirty five dollars per person,
but apparently you get to pay more if you want to get a tea time
on these golf courses. Interesting, but again it seems like there would be
an easy fix to that, like you know, like at Disneyland, for
example, you making it a reservation and you have to arrive for the reservation
because it's your reservation. But apparently they haven't discovered that yet. So we'll
be watching that. Come back. KTLA Tech reporter Rich de Muro will join
us, and if you're traveling, Rich has some great resources for you to
make sure that you go to the best spots and get good prices, and
also you can get poked again. We'll say you about that coming up.
You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI AM six forty. Controversial
La City Councilman Kevin da Leone and tenant wrights attorney Isabelle Herado appeer headed to
a runoff. The updated vote count yesterday has Herado leading daily On by about
four hundred votes. The top two candidates will square off in November. Efforts
continue to get US citizens out of Haiti. Two rescue flights were supposed to
leave yesterday, but plans fell through. Florida Division of Emergency Management Director Kevin
Guthrie says they got close, but the situation on the ground is so volatile
because of all the gang violence. But they're going to keep trying. Taylor
Swift the Era's Tour. Taylor's Version has quickly become the most streamed music film
on Disney Plus No big surprise there. Disney said the movie had four point
six million views and more than sixteen million hours of viewing time over the weekend.
It was released just last Thursday at six so five. It's handle on
the news. The first over the counter birth control pill is now available.
Right now, let's say good morning to our tech guy. It's a host
of Rich on Tech on KFI and KTLAS tech reporter Rich DeMuro Rich, I
would like to poke you now, and I don't mean that in a weird
way. Now you can the poke is back on Facebook. Don't ask me
why, but apparently they brought it back. You can go to Facebook dot
com slash pokes. You can see a list of your friends and maybe someone's
already poked you. My last poke is from let's see I thought it was
kind of funny, twenty sixteen, someone poked me. So it's been a
while. Oh my gosh, So I forgot that there even was one because
it just kind of went away, and I always thought it was sort of
a weird thing. Anyway, Well, it's just a way to get someone's
attention. And I think in this day and age, it's so much social
media and so many different ways of connecting with people, and maybe you scroll,
you know. I think the thing is you scroll through social media so
much. You see your friends, but maybe you're not interacting with them.
Perhaps, so this is kind of a fun, just way to get things
started, and they're finding an uptick, especially with gen Z. The younger
folks who had never seen this before, they're finding it really interesting. So
I guess that's why Facebook wants to bring it back new audience. So it's
a way to say hi without actually communicating with anybody. Yeah, it was
a really weird term. All right, Okay, don't poke your boss.
Yeah, you could get in trouble for that. So we've got Apple might
be using Google's AI tech on its next iPhone instead of having its own.
Yeah, talk about a strange partnership, right, So Apple's pretty much front
of me, is with everyone at this point. So as Google, all
these tech companies because they need each other, but they don't want each other
because they all want their own silo. They all want you to use all
their stuff. And so Apple has always had this interesting relationship with Google because
they need them because of the search engine, and they pay them a lot
of money. It's tons of money that they pay every year to Google to
be the primary search engine on the iPhone. End users like that on the
iPhone because what's the alternative? Bing like? Come on? So apparently with
iosa team because Apple wants to get into AI. They don't have enough of
their own AI to do something just yet, so it looks like they may
use Google's AI, which is called Gemini, to power some of these AI
features on the iPhone, you know, generative search, generative images, those
kind of things. This is not necessarily a done deal, but two major
news organizations are saying this is what's happening. And according to sources inside Apple
and Google, so we'll see, it would definitely be strange because Google has
its own platform, Android, so it'd be weird, okay, And so
is Gemini basically just a different version of chat GPT? Are they kind of
different? Yeah? No, they're basically yeah, exactly. That's so all
of these things are generative you know, uh, generative AI products. You've
got chat GBT, you've got Claude AI, you've got the uh oh,
what's the one over in Paris Mistral uh and then of course you've got Copilot
from Microsoft and you also have Gemini from Google. So lots of different flavors
of AI out there. And are they all kind of the same or are
is like chat GPT sort of the gold standard because it's first? Uh you
know, they all they all have their pros and cons, and I could
probably do a whole story and I probably should this weekend on my radio show
because chat GBT is kind of like the end all you know, it's like
it's the early one. So everyone uses it, but personally I use Claude
for a lot of data processing and transcripting and stuff like that. And Gemini
is really good for real time like that linked up to Google, like it
has that full access to Google, so it's really good for real time stuff.
Look at that. I inspired you. I'm happy. Yeah, thanks
for the idea. Sure. So tell me about Glassdoor and it's it's sharing
information. So Glassdoor is this website that lets people anonymously sort of review where
they work. Right, it's been a good source of information for people trying
to get the real deal on an employee, an employer, I should say,
okay, But the problem is they bought this other company called fish Bowl,
and now apparently they're starting to add names, like real names to these
reviews that are on the website, and people are like freaking out because they're
like, why would be Yeah, I thought, well, yeah, because
you're I read your review. I saw it on there, and oh my
gosh, I'm glad we were still talking this morning. We were scheduled and
I was like, I don't know if it's going to happen now, I'm
just kidding. Well, that's why i'd like they even when sometimes at work
they go, oh, here's a survey, it's anonymous, your name's not
going to be tied to it, and I'm like, hell, no,
I'm not doing that, because you know that some how your name's going to
get tied to it. One hundred percent every survey I get from a hotel
where I like rip them, and it's like, all of a sudden,
I get like a private email from the manager. I'm like, wait a
second. I didn't think this was public information. Like I thought you'd just
get an anonymous you know this room needs cleaning better, you know. Yeah,
okay, so be careful if you're posting on glassdoor, and then real
quick before we head out. You have some handy travel sites. I know
that a travel season is coming up, so what are some good ones that
can help you kind of navigate where you're going and make sure you go to
a good places. Well, I've got them all on the website. Rich

Wiki Voyage is like Wikipedia, but for a destination. You've got to pop
in where you're going, you'll read all about it. And how about this
one, Amy Napper. Nappr let you rent hotel rooms in blocks of four
to ten hours if you just need to take a nap or rest during a
hectic day. That sounds like a prostitution thing to me. Okay, where
can we find these great travel sites again? Richon tech dot TV. Just
go to the website or you can find the link on my Instagram at rich
on tech Perfect. And you can also listen to Rich on Tech Saturday from
eleven to two right here on KFI with great lots and lots of great tech
advice. Thank you so much, Rich. All right, thanks Amy,
byebye. Okay, let's see when we come back. What's old is new
and before the new hits theaters? I'm going to bust out the old that's
your hint. You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI AM six
forty. If you're a big baseball fan, you might be starting by watching
the Dodgers and the Padres play in Soul, South Korea. You can listen
to the game on AM five. Also, if you want to listen to
the whole game because you don't want to start it now, you can listen
to a replay of it at noon today on AM five seventy or on the
iHeartRadio app. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
A controversial Texas immigration law is back on hold. Hours after the Supreme Court
decided the law could be enforced, a three judge panel at the Fifth US
Circuit Court of Appeals voted to block it. The law would allow police to
arrest anyone they suspect of crossing the border illegally. The CDC says, so
far this year, there have been fifty eight cases of measles in seventeen states,
and that's how many cases were reported in all of twenty twenty three.
The CDC is again urging families to make sure they get their vaccinations against measles,
which had been eradicated. Doctor say on average, one infected person infects
twelve to eighteen unvaccinated people. And Albertson's and San Diego's taking steps to stop
retail theft at its store. It has fenced the store off. There's a
fence surrounding the whole thing with two entrance gates and one exit gate on the
other side of the store where you have to scan a receipt to get through
the gate. At six oh five, it's handle on the news. This
isn't a great look. On the first day of the Major League Baseball season.
A bomb threat targeting at New Dodger star shohe Otani. At five point
fifty, we're going to be checking in with ABC's Tom Rivers. We're talking
Olympics and how Team Russia is affected by the war in Ukraine. Aamie's on
it, Gamie's on, Amy's on it, Gami's on it? What am
I on? I'm on movies, TV shows, streaming, even books every
now and again, because there's so much to watch and see and do out
there. Hopefully it can guide you to some good things, so as you
may or may not have heard the new ghost Ghostmusters. The Ghostbusters movie is
about to hit theaters. It's called Ghostbusters Frozen Empire. So there are four
Ghostbusters movies in the franchise. The first one came out in nineteen eighty four.
Of course, that's the one with Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold
Ramus, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, Annie Pott's Rick moranis and then there's
three other movies. So I was like, you know what, I haven't
seen these movies in forever, And in fact, I never saw the New
Girl Ghostbusters movie or Ghostbusters Afterlife, which came out in twenty twenty one.
So I thought, well, before the new movie comes out, I should
probably go and watch all of these because you know how sometimes they make references
to old movies or to old stories, and if you don't know the story,
you're kind of out of the loop on a lot of the stuff that's
going on. So I thought, I'll go watch them all and see what
they what I think. So again, the first one, the original from
nineteen eighty four, I still think it's hilarious. I mean, it's went
forty what is that forty years thirty years ago. I can't do math.
It's forty years ago. But it's still really good. I thought I thought
it was. It's still entertaining, it's still fun, not obviously not scary,
but the little supposed to be scary stuff that ends up not being scary.
But I just thought it was a great, great movie to watch.
I think the acting was fun, everybody was fun. And then Ghostbusters too,
I think still was good. The Girl version which came out in twenty
sixteen that I had not seen, I did watch, and it has Kristin
Wig, who I love, and Melissa McCarthy and Leslie Jones from Saturday Night
Live, Kate McKennon also from Saturday Night Live. Chris Hemsworth Hello. He
plays a receptionist in it, and he is absolutely adorable. So it was
good, but it was like a standalone movie. So it's along the same
theme where there's ghosts showing up in New York, and they do sort of
reference the old movie, so it helps if you have the background of the
other movie, even though the storyline's completely different. It's a good watch,
but not my favorite. And then the most recent one is Ghostbusters Afterlife,
which just came out in twenty twenty two, and that has McKenna Grace,
who's she's the teenage actor who's kind of the star of it. And then
Finn Wolfhard Wolford I'm not sure how to pronounce his name, but he's from
Stranger Things. And then Carrie Kuhn is the mom. She's from Gilded Age,
and then Paul Rudd is in it too, And I think that it
was really really good because it happens thirty two years after the second Ghostbusters,
when they've disbanded, their legacy is mostly forgotten. And then Carrie Kuhn plays
a single mom and she and her kids moved to a farm in Oklahoma that
they inherited from their estranged father. And they don't tell you right out of
the gun or out of the gate who the exchanged father is, but you
find out pretty quickly. And I think that this one was really fun.
So I would say the first one from nineteen eighty four probably the best one,
but then After Life was really good, and it'll be interesting to see
if Frozen Empire makes references to it. I don't want to tell you too
much about it, probably if you've seen it, you know, if you
haven't seen it, It's worth the watch, and I will tell you that
there are some really fun cameos in the last two movies. We'll just say
that. Okay, So Gustbusters, Frozen Empire, Nick Pauli, o'keeanne and
I are actually going to go see it and so we'll be reporting back to
you on that one. But really was surprised, really liked After Life,
which again was the fourth movie in the franchise. Let's get back to some
of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. La City
Councilman Kevin de Leone is set for a runoff in November to try to keep
his job. Results from the March fifth primary show him in second place behind
tenants rights attorney Isabelle Herado, who has more than twenty four percent of the
vote. Daily On has just over twenty three percent. Their Register Recorder County
clerks is There are still about thirty four hundred ballots left to process county wide,
but again the top two finishers will head to the runoff in November.
La County has changed its rules for short term rentals in unincorporated areas. County
leaders say the new regulations are designed to preserve housing stock and quality of life,
while also still allowing property owners to rent out some spaces. Moving forward,
operators of short term rentals found on websites like Airbnb or verbo will have
to pay a nine hundred and fourteen dollars annual fee. Available rentals are also
restricted to the host primary residents, no accessory, dwelling units or vacation properties.
The rules are only for the unincorporated parts of the county, not the
cities which manage their own regulations. Michael Monks KFI News. The death of
a woman whose torso was found in a trash bin in Encino has officially been
ruled a homicide, and autopsy report released just also says the areas where the
limbs were cut were so smooth it suggests a sharp power tool was likely used.
The woman's husband is charged with killing her and her parents in November.
He's pleaded not guilty. The bodies of the parents have not been found.
Prosecutors say Rebecca Grossman has admitted during jail phone calls in La County to trying
to influence the jury, the witnesses, and even the judge in her case.
Court records alleged Grossman admitted to trying to get witnesses to say they were
forced to testify, asked her daughter to release sealed bodycam video to the media,
and talked about sending someone to try to convince the judge to order a
retrial. A motion filed Monday also alleges jury tampering, claiming a private investigator
working for the defense showed up at three jurors homes. Prosecutors will ask a
judge on Friday to revoke the woman's jail phone privileges. Grossman faces thirty four
years that sentencing set for next month for killing two boys during a crash in
twenty twenty in Westlake Village. Corbin Carson kf I News Doctor Dray, my
brother from another hip hop legend, Doctor Dre, has been honored with a
star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He was joined yesterday by friends and
associates who've been in his corner for decades, like Snoop dogg Eminem, Jimmy
Iovine, fifty Cent and others. Dre says growing up in Compton, he
would never have imagined that he would one day be represented among some of his
child childhood heroes. He told the crowd, the saying is true, if
you love your work, you'll never work a day in your life. One
of my favorite sayings. If you missed my interview on Monday with Space Force
guardian and NASA astronaut Colonel Nick Haig, we wanted to let you know that
we've put it up on the KFI website so you can go and give it
a listen KFI am six forty dot com slash wake Up Call and it's right
there, really fun conversation and we're going to be talking again with Colonel Hague
as he gets closer to going to the International Space Station. So he's been
up in space before and was on the space station and he gets to go
back and he'll spend like six months there, and so we're going to check
in periodically with him while he's doing his training and kind of find out what
life on the space station is. Like. I like that kind of stuff.

Good morning. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hours newsroom.
The Major League Baseball season is officially underway today. The San Diego Padres
and the LA Dodgers are playing right now in Seoul, South Korea. The
two game series marks the first time that a regular season game has been played
in South Korea. The Dodgers home opener is a week from tomorrow at Dodgers
Stadium. Producer and representing for the San Diego Padres with her jersey I got
my Dodger blue jersey on go Blue controversial La City councilman Kevin Dalyon and Tenants
Wrights attorney Isabelle Herado appear headed for a runoff. The updated vote count yesterday
has Herado leading daily On by about four hundred votes. The top two candidates
will square off in November. Almost a billion dollars is on the line for
the next Mega Millions drawing. No one matched all six winning numbers from last
night's drawing, so the jackpot for Mega Millions goes up to nine hundred seventy
seven million dollars for Friday. And if you don't want to wait till then,
Powerball has a drawing tonight. It's worth six hundred eighty seven million dollars.
We're just minutes away from handle on the news this morning. Not such
a great look. On the first day of Major Leagues baseball season. A
bomb threats targeting new Dodger star Shohei Otani. I'll tell you more about that.
Let's say good morning now to ABC's Tom Rivers in London. So Tom,
the Russian and the Belarussian. I don't know if that's the way you
say. Athletes can participate in the twenty twenty four Summer Games, but there's
a hitch. Yeah, they've been working on their rules at the IOC and
they're going to be neutrals. So thirty six individuals from Russia twenty two from
Belarus are going to be allowed to play, but not collectively. So there's
any totals, it will not be you know, Russian team winning is just
going to be individuals. Oh okay, so what so opening ceremonies is one
of my favorite parts. In closing ceremonies, I always think is really fun
just to kind of get the whole party started. And so do they come
out individually or did they come out with no flag or did oh wait,
they're not coming out at all? Exactly. You're gonna love this. It's
not going to be the parade around the stadium. It's going to be the
athletes on boats going down the river then, except those individuals are going to
be on the bank watching all of their other colleagues go down the river.
So it's going to be very different in that regard, but it is what
it is. I think it'd be cute if they gave them a little kayaks
and they could eat individually go down the river. I hadn't heard of that
that sounds like a kind of a cool I mean, I love the stadium
and all of that. So do you know then after they go down the
boats, are they going to stop at a stadium and then they do the
opening ceremony show or is that going to be completely different too. We don't
know. We know they're heading toward the Eiffel Tower, and how they're going
to disperse from there, we're not sure. But that's that's been nailed down.
The closing ceremony though, is not and their interaction with it, so
we don't know. That's one of the last pieces of the puzzle. They're
going to figure that out in the next couple of weeks. Okay, so
then tell me if the athletes are competing under neutral so it's basically they're competing
as individuals. If they win medals, does it go into the pool for
neutrals like when they have the medal count or do they just not register anywhere
because they're just in Yeah, they get, they get they get just as
individuals. Now five year old kid could add them up and say, well,
that's really Russia, but they're not putting it in that category, in
that total if you will in the table. So it's going to be individuals.
They're going to get their own anthem, which is going to be pretty
neutral as well, no lyrics. They get a neutral flag as well.
But of course everybody knows where they're coming from, right, okay, and
has has Russia or Belarus reacted to this information? I've been they'll resign to
it. At least they get some athletes to participate, and you know,
that's better than not being there at all. So I think a shrug,
shrug of the shoulders, and they're saying, yep, it is what it
is. Well we'll take it at that level. Okay. So there's no
sign that they're gonna like say, hey, you guys can't go and you
can't compete or anything like that. They're just saying, okay, fine,
we're just kind of sitting there and watching. Yeah, exactly, okay,
exactly. Well, you know what, I think that that's great because we
know how hard everybody works to get to the Olympics, and so that they
get to compete as good. I think it's kind of weird that they have
to sit on the on the shoreline and watch the parade go by. It's
kind of weird, but it is what it is all right. Thank you
so much for the information. Tom Rivers, take care, take care,
all right. LAPD Chief Choice is new crisis response teams hit the streets.
The Unarmed Model for Crisis Response program is testing at Wilshire, Devonshire in Southeast
divisions. It started March twelve and then this short time period March twelve through
the sixteenth, the UMCR responded to eighty three calls for certain. Of those
calls, most were for indecent exposure and public disturbance. Forty three of those
calls were in Wilshire area, twenty seven of the calls were in Devonshire area,
and thirteen of the calls were in Southeast area. Choi told the police
commissioned yesterday. Each of the teams has two people with expertise and mental illness
and behavioral health. Steve Gregory k Fineows, a convicted murder, has been
charged in Orange County with kidnapping for extortion or ransom in Midway City near Westminster.
The man's accused of grabbing another man on Friday. The alleged kidnapper was
found guilty of killing someone more than twenty years ago. People who live in
La County no longer have to pay for the body of a deceased person transported
and stored. The Board of Supervisors eliminated the four hundred dollars fee yesterday.
Supervisor Hilda Salasa's it's for compassion and equity. Just as we know that many
Angelinos do not have a savings account. When death in a family is sudden,
it only then do we really realize the steep cost of death. The
county had budgeted this year for about one point one million dollars in costs associated
with the transportation and storing of bodies. A state in tech Or a state
law in Texas that allows police to arrest illegal immigrants has been blocked again.
ABC's Connor Finnegan says the Supreme Court yesterday allowed the law to take effect,
and late last night a federal appeals court put it back on hold. The
Supreme Court's conservative majority had dismissed the Biden administration's argument to keep the law on
hold. Well it's being challenged, sparking fiery descends from the liberal justices,
and even a warning from the Mexican government that it would not cooperate with Texas.
Arguments are said to be heard this morning on the state's request to reinstate
the law. The CDC has issued an advisory about an increase in measles cases
in the US. Fifty Eight cases the hi highly contagious virus have been reported
this year in seventeen states, including California. Doctors say on average, one
infected person affects twelve to eighteen unvaccinated people. Common symptoms include a rash,
high fever, watery eyes, cough, and a writing nose. At one
point, measles had been eradicated, but oh joy, it's back. Hibernating
bears in California are waking up and they're hungry. Official say. Melting snow
and wet weather brings wildflowers and wildflower flyer. Wildflowers bring back bears to areas
where they haven't historically lived. Official say bears can smell food from miles away
and can easily rip the door off a house or a car if they smell
something yummy inside. It is illegal to intentionally feed black bears in California.
I want to mention this bill Maher, the host of Real Time, has
fired his agents, so he was represented by CIA. He's been with CIA
for more than two decades, but we're getting word that he dumped his representation
because he was mad that he wasn't invited to the CEO's private Oscar party at
his house on Saturday night. So I'm guessing that it happened the Saturday night
before the Oscars, And according to sources, mar was furious that he was
snubbed for the event, which was attended by people like jj Abrams, Kamala
Harris, Margot, Robbie bob Iger and other CAA clients like Julia Robertson,
Jennifer Aniston. So he was ticked and he said, that's it. Man.
Nice to be in that powerful of a position. I'm guessing he can
probably find a new agent, or maybe they'll make up. This is KFI
