WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.839 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:15.720 demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. 3 00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:28.359 It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. Good 4 00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:34.359 morning and happy Leap Day. It's Thursday, February twenty nine. This is 5 00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:38.880 your wake up call. I'm Amy King. So Leap Day the day that 6 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:43.840 comes only once every four years, and to celebrate, there are some businesses 7 00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:48.359 that are going to be offering up some things so you can kind of cash 8 00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.000 in on it. We'll be telling you about that during wake up call. 9 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.799 A couple of them are pretty tasty, because one of them I already tasted. 10 00:00:55.479 --> 00:01:00.159 Also very excited. Today Pitpwatch is underway, so watches when they're watching 11 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:04.319 for eglitz to start coming out of their shell. We've got a couple of 12 00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:10.560 bald eagles perched in a tree high above Big Bear Lake, about one hundred 13 00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:15.200 and forty five feet up Jackie in shadow. They've been nesting and sitting on 14 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:21.000 their eggs for thirty five days, and thirty five days is when it's feasible 15 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:26.120 for the eglitz to start hatching. So we start watching that today. Whether 16 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.799 it starts happening today, that is up to mother nature. But being as 17 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.280 if you listen to the show at all, you know that I am a 18 00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.519 huge, huge fan of the Eagles, and you can watch it on the 19 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:42.040 Big Bear Bald Eagle Cam. It's a YouTube channel and it's so cool to 20 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.840 watch. Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. Both President Biden and former 21 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:51.879 President Trump will be visiting the US Mexico border in Texas today. Biden is 22 00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.640 set to meet with border patrol agents and local leaders in Brownsville. Trump will 23 00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:00.079 be about three hundred miles away in Eagle Pass. Two men convicted in a 24 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:04.879 deadly drive by shooting in South La more than twenty years ago are now free 25 00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:09.479 men. The La County DA formally exonerated them. They were fifteen and twenty 26 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:15.960 at the time of the killing. The stars of Curb Your Enthusiasm are remembering 27 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.400 comedian and actor Richard Lewis. He died yesterday of a heart attack. Larry 28 00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.759 David said Lewis was like a brother to him. David's TV wife, Cheryl 29 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:29.000 Hines, says he was a loving person and working with him was a dream. 30 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:31.719 Richard Lewis was seventy six At six oh five, It's Handle on the 31 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:36.680 news with two days left despair. Looks like lawmakers have a deal to prevent 32 00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.439 a partial government shut down tomorrow night. Let's get started with some of the 33 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.759 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. One of the worst 34 00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:49.520 storms of the winter season is sweeping through northern California. National Weather Service meteorologist 35 00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:53.759 Courtney Carpenter says heavy snow and hazardous blizzard conditions are expected in the Greater Lake 36 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:59.039 Tahoe area through Sunday. This will bring stonefall rates of two to four inches 37 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.280 per hour at times, so really going to pile up pretty quickly and really 38 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:10.439 make things nasty or travel across the mountains. Carpenter says gusty winds and widespread 39 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:14.800 rain will also be a problem. She says by the end of the storm, 40 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:19.039 the Sierra could get up to ten feet of fresh snow, with snow 41 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.960 levels possibly dipping down to two to three thousand feet. The Department of Water 42 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:29.960 Resources is expected to do its latest snow survey in the southern Sierra later this 43 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:34.639 morning, and forecasters are saying all these storms that have been coming through should 44 00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:38.080 bode well for the snowpack. A woman accused of trying to snatch a four 45 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:43.199 year old boy from a target in Korea Town has been arrested. Police say 46 00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.919 the woman grabbed the boy on Sunday afternoon and dragged him outside the store. 47 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:50.719 That's where she was confronted by one of the kid's parents and ran away. 48 00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:55.879 Trial has started in Lancaster for a man charged with killing his four kids and 49 00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:01.159 their grandmother. The youngest child was just over a year old. Prosecutor told 50 00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:06.719 jurors yesterday that Jermarcus David drove himself to a sheriff's station after the murders in 51 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:12.400 twenty twenty one, apologized in a note and asked to be taken into custody. 52 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.000 The kid's mom found the bodies when she returned from dinner with friends. 53 00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:20.439 The defense says David was devastated and crushed by his wife's decision to end their 54 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:27.560 relationship. President Biden and former President Trump are both visiting the southern border today. 55 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.800 ABC's Jim Ryan says Biden is going to Brownsville, Texas, about three 56 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.920 hundred and twenty five miles up the Rio Grand From here, presumed Republican nominee 57 00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.839 Donald Trump will appear in Eagle Pass, a city that has become a focal 58 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:46.240 point in the broader debate over illegal immigration. Biden blames Trump and Republicans for 59 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.319 killing a bipartisan border security deal. Trump says the deal wasn't strong enough to 60 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:56.240 secure the border. He's promised to begin mass deportations if he's elected. We'll 61 00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:00.199 be talking more about the dueling border visits with ABC's Jim Ryan coming up up 62 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:01.959 at five point fifty, so we do hope you'll stick around for that. 63 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.920 A street medicine program and Garden Grove has received ten million dollars to expand into 64 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:14.040 Costa Mesa and Anaheim. Cal Optima Health Medical executive director Kelly Bruno Nelson says 65 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:17.920 nearly two hundred homeless people got medical, mental health and housing services in the 66 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.800 first year of the program. The veterans that had been on the street for 67 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:26.399 over seven years and after seeing our housing navigator for just a few short months, 68 00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.480 was issued a housing voucher and is now in apartment. Bruno Nelson says 69 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:34.560 the team searches out people on the street who start getting doctor and nurse visits 70 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:40.240 as soon as they sign up. She says a peer navigator also visits participants 71 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:45.160 twice a week to help them through the process. A plan to redevelop Disneyland 72 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:49.279 with new hotels, parking, and attractions includes buying several streets from Anaheim. 73 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:54.959 Disneyland would stay within its current five hundred acre property, but Disney consultant Joe 74 00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:59.399 Haupt said this week buying a street like Magic Way improves traffic on as any 75 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.560 Disney resort. Traffic on Walnut because there would be no way to get through 76 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.360 Magically would be converted to emergency vehicle access only. The ten year, one 77 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:11.120 point nine billion dollar project also promises one hundred million dollars in improvements for Anaheim, 78 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:15.680 comitments to address city wide needs and housing, parks, transportation, and 79 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.319 infrastructure. A city planning commission to set to vote on the proposal next month. 80 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:23.839 In Anaheim, Corbin Carson KFI needs It's five oh six on your leap 81 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:28.360 day wake up call. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jordana Miller. 82 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.120 Good morning, Jordana. The fighting continues, but there is a bit of 83 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:41.319 positive news. Well, the positive news is that there's slow progress towards a 84 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.800 seafire. But it's really two things to say. If we have a breakthrough 85 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:49.160 yet. Of the Israeli delegation that was in Cutter reported that the talks have 86 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:54.959 been positive there with the Katari and the Egyptian mediators. They are of course 87 00:06:55.000 --> 00:07:00.680 representing Hamas. But I'll still waiting this year from Yeesi Seinoir, that is 88 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:06.079 the mastermind of the Deaday October seventh attack, the head of Hamas, the 89 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:12.319 man who's hiding in tunnels in southern Daza, likely surrounded by hostages, and 90 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:16.199 he has to weigh in and you know, approve this deal. So we're 91 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:21.800 not there yet, and there are still some gaps, but it appears where 92 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:28.759 there's momentum, there's forward movement. The deadline everyone is aiming for is March 93 00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:33.399 tenth, that's before Ramadan begins, the Muslim holy month, and then shortly 94 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:39.000 thereafter the Jewish holiday of Passover. You know, God willing, it's disclosed 95 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.879 well quiet through you know, most of March and April. Yeah, so 96 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.439 earlier this week President Biden had said that he thought we would have or we 97 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.600 would see a deal by Monday. So it sounds like he kind of jumped 98 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:54.639 the gun on that. I think he did jump the gun on that. 99 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.319 You know, he certainly wants a deal as soon as possible to stop the 100 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:03.199 fighting, to bring the hostages home of them. You know, there's eight 101 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.920 Americans, two of those unfortunately have died, but you know, to bring 102 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:16.360 those two bodies and presumably six Americans out alive, and of course to you 103 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:22.079 know, bring in tons and much more aid into the Gaza Strip. You 104 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:26.040 know, today there's you know, we're beginning to get the full picture now, 105 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:31.080 but it looks like there was a very very deadly incident as eight trucks 106 00:08:31.159 --> 00:08:37.840 arrived in the north near Gods of City. You know, thirty thousand people 107 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:45.639 rushing for likely a dozen trucks filled aid. Some firefights breaking out with Israeli 108 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:52.399 soldiers that were there trying to secure the passageway of the convoy, as well 109 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:58.159 as stampedes and trucks that were then you know, attacked, including the drivers 110 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:03.000 who then tried to leave the site, killing people. The Hamasa and the 111 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:09.360 Health Ministry says one hundred are dead and several hundred injured. Hamas is blaming 112 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.080 the entire incident on the Israeli army. But these Erali armies says they did 113 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:18.360 not use artillery or tank fire or drones that they did open fire on some 114 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:24.840 who were attacking idea of soldiers, but they're not, they are not. 115 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.080 They say the majority were killed in a stampede, and it speaks to how 116 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:35.000 desperate the situation is in northern Gaza, where aid is just trickling in and 117 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.639 Jordana. When you say that the trucks were attacked, you said that the 118 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:43.960 Health Ministry run by Hamas says that it was Israeli soldiers, but I mean 119 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:48.360 like attacked, like fired upon and shooting or that just attacked by people trying 120 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:56.320 to get to the aid. You know, the Israeli soldiers were protecting the 121 00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.399 safe passageway of the trucks. They weren't driving the trucks, were guarding the 122 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:07.240 trucks. They were on the streets, and the trucks were driven by locals. 123 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.559 And it appears that iman were in war, right, so an Israeli 124 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:16.720 soldiers the enemy. And it seems that some of those thirty thousand people who 125 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:22.840 were in the area started to attack soldiers and the soldiers used live gunfire to 126 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:30.480 protect themselves, and that sounds like it could have led to some of the 127 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:37.600 deaths. But one hundred deaths did not come from firefights between gunmen or unarmed 128 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.200 civilians, and that number seems that number is too high to come from just 129 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:50.080 gunfire incidents. In one part of this stretch of road that was being guarded 130 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.200 by the Israelis. We can see from aerial shops that the Israeli Army put 131 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.679 out now that there were you know, thousands and thousands of people around these 132 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.480 trucks. Okay, So is that going to or do we know yet if 133 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:09.559 that's going to affect attempts to get more AID in because I know that one 134 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.919 of one of your talking points today was going to be that AID trucks are 135 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:18.399 getting in. But that's what gets Yeah, that was the positive, that 136 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.879 was the positive news yesterday until this incident. You know, it's unclear how 137 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.080 this is going to impact come. You know, AID convoys to northern Gaza, 138 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:35.519 about fifty had come before this morning into specifically northern Gaza. And it's 139 00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:41.960 important to say that Jordan and France, the United Arab Emirates, Baharain and 140 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:48.039 Egypt. Over the last twenty four hours they've been dropping air dropping AID all 141 00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:50.480 over the Gaza strip. But in the last twenty four hours, the first 142 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.840 air drops of AID made it to northern Gaza early this morning and last night. 143 00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:01.320 So that's also that's also a help. Certain certainly not enough. I 144 00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.279 mean, we know that people are hungry in the northern part of the Gaza 145 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:11.559 Strip. There's three hundred thousand people there and they are not getting enough aid. 146 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:16.159 Uh. And there's vast destruction in northern Gaza. Uh. And this 147 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:22.399 is this is you know, a major major humanitarian crisis there. Yeah, 148 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.919 and you said there's three hundred thousand people. There are those people who went 149 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:33.159 back to Gaza City or are those people who never left? Those are mostly 150 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:37.480 people who never left northern Gaza. There used to be about about one point 151 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:46.440 five million, almost half more than half of Gaza's entire population was based in 152 00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:52.039 northern Gaza. Isra was able to move out about eight hundred thousand people, 153 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.960 and there's around three hundred. The estimate is around three hundred thousand. Most 154 00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:01.440 dozens have not returned to the north. It's one of the disputes that Hamas 155 00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.799 and Israel are trying to work in a hostage relief and take fire deal. 156 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.679 Who will be able to go back to the northern Gaza Strip. Israel doesn't 157 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.320 want young men of fighting age to go back because they're worried that they'll regroup, 158 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.799 so Isra wants to allow when we women and children back so complicated, 159 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.039 continue to hope that. Yeah, we'll continue to hope that they can come 160 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.600 up with a deal and at least stop the fighting for a while. Thank 161 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:30.799 you so much, Jordana Miller, appreciate it. Bud Willing, Thanks Puck. 162 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:31.919 Soon, all right, let's get back to some of the stories coming 163 00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.399 out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A judge in Illinois has ruled 164 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:41.120 former President Trump should be removed from the state's Republican primary ballot because of the 165 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:43.960 January sixth ride at the Capitol, but that decision is on hold to give 166 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:48.919 Trump time to appeal. The US Supreme Court recently heard oral arguments regarding a 167 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:54.399 similar ruling in Colorado. The Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether former President 168 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.879 Trump can claim presidential immunity to fight charges of election interference.

Wildfires burning in Texas have now burned through more 171 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:11.120 than a million acres. The largest of the fires in the Texas Panhandle has 172 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:16.080 burned more than eight hundred and thirty thousand acres and has crossed into Oklahoma. 173 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.399 It's only three percent surrounded. People in the town of Canadian were allowed to 174 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.679 return home yesterday. Dozens of homes have been damaged or destroyed.

The Assembly Public Safety Committee passed a bill lowering 177 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:39.320 the amount of feentanyl and the drug deal needed for wire taps to be approved. 178 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:43.879 Assembly mean Jim Patterson says police need more tools to take down suppliers. 179 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:48.399 We all know this that thousands of Californians are act being poisoned as a result 180 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:52.559 of fentanyl. Currently, wire taps can be approved for deals involving at least 181 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.480 three pounds of fentanyl. Patterson's bill would lower the amount to eight ounces of 182 00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:00.759 the drug. The bill will need to pass another committee BEF for the entire 183 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:03.960 Assembly can vote on it. Blake Trolley Kafi News, the company that owns 184 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:11.639 Outback Steakhouse, has closed dozens of so called underperforming restaurants. Bloomin Brands also 185 00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.519 owned Carabas, Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, and Flemings Yum. The company 186 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:20.840 said in an earnings call last week that it had already closed forty one locations. 187 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:26.360 The closures hit Outback steakhouses the hardest. The company did not release a 188 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:30.240 list of closed restaurants. You know, Outback is one of my favorite places 189 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:33.200 to go. It's like a inexpensive and a good steak and plus they've got 190 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:39.879 bloomin onions, Oh delicious. You're listening to Wake Up Call on Demand from 191 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.720 KFI AM six forty. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour 192 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.799 newsroom. Northern California is about to get slammed by the strongest storm of the 193 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:52.320 season. Blizzard warnings go up this morning for the Sierra Nevadam Mountains, including 194 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.399 Lake Tahoe, with up to ten feet of snow expected. Michael Moore has 195 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:00.399 one day left on the job as chief of the LAPD. He stepped down 196 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.080 and moving out of La says he wants to be closer to his daughter, 197 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:07.759 but we'll still be a consultant for the city. Shohei Otani has a new 198 00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.679 team and a new wife. Announced on Instagram late yesterday that he got married. 199 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:15.720 He says he's not only begun a new chapter in his career with the 200 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:18.720 Dodgers, but also in new life with someone from his native country Japan. 201 00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:22.559 At six oh five, it is handle on the news, the longest serving 202 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:26.279 Senate leader in US history, stepping down, but not going away just yet. 203 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:30.559 Let's say good morning now to ABC's Karen Travers at the White House. 204 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.519 So, Karen, President Biden got his annual check up. How did it 205 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.320 go? Yeah, you know. The President talked to reporters before the official 206 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:41.159 report came out yesterday and gave a two thumbs up and said everything squared away, 207 00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:45.559 told reporters everything was great, and even joked at an event with some 208 00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:49.679 police chiefs that his doctors think he looks too young. He got to kick 209 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:52.919 out of his own joke. The police chiefs also liked his joke, But 210 00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:56.720 he told reporters there was nothing different in this year's physical than last year's report, 211 00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.759 and then when we got the details of it, that was largely true. 212 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:03.359 The president's doctor said that he is a healthy, active, robust eighty 213 00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:08.880 one year old who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency word 214 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:12.000 for word from last year, except changing his age. But one thing that 215 00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.160 is different than last year is that the president, according to his doctor, 216 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:21.079 has begun using a positive airway pressure machine a seapop machine to help him with 217 00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:25.440 some ongoing sleep apnea. So people probably are familiar with those masks that you 218 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:29.680 could use to help you sleep better. He has been trying that. I've 219 00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.880 never get it called a positive airway. Yeah, though I had to traffic 220 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.200 track it that way yesterday because that's the official way the doctor put it in 221 00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:41.200 the report. His gait, the way he walks, remains stiff, according 222 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:45.599 to doctor O'Connor, but hasn't gotten worse since his physical last year. And 223 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:49.559 the President continues to exercise at least five days a week. We know he 224 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:52.519 likes to exercise in the morning. He has said he likes to hop on 225 00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:56.240 a bike if he can. But he is somebody who very much tries to 226 00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:00.720 get in a daily workout. And he does still have occasional symptoms of acid 227 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.640 reflux. That's why he clears his throat a lot, according to his doctor, 228 00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.880 and is getting some medication treatment for that, as well as cholesterol issues. 229 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.000 But those were all the same from the year before. So as the 230 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:15.240 President said, yeah, kind of uneventful. But one thing that was questioned 231 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:19.000 at the briefing yesterday. There wasn't a cognitive exam in this physical looking at 232 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:23.240 mental fitness. That's of course something that poll show Americans are concerned about whether 233 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:26.680 he is the physical and mental fitness to serve another term. The White House 234 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:32.039 said yesterday that his doctors, including neurologists, did not believe he needs one. 235 00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:36.480 Karine Jean Pierre told my colleague he passes a cognitive test every day as 236 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.960 he does his job. Of course, Karen Jean Pierre says that, of 237 00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:42.039 course, okay, Kiaren, drivers thank you for the update. Appreciating it 238 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:45.799 you. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI 239 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:49.559 twenty four hour newsroom.

Superior Court Executive Officer David Slayton says the pre arraignment released protocols, 249 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:34.720 known as PAARP or PARP, are safe and fair, so the PARPs are 250 00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:40.440 working as intended, protecting public and victim safety while ensuring that those who present 251 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:45.200 little risk don't languish behind bars simply because they can't afford to pay bail. 252 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.359 If you want to see it, it's at LA court dot org slash bail. 253 00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.720 That's where you can find the dashboard.

ABC. 255 00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:00.400 Sandy Field says money for half the government runs out March eighth, the 256 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.440 rest March twenty second. At March eighth date could be a problem as it 257 00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:07.160 is the day after President Biden said to give his State of the Union address. 258 00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:11.319 Congressional leaders insist they have a deal on six of the spending bills now 259 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:15.559 do it a week.

Man made chemicals called PFA's or forever chemicals don't 264 00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:38.119 break down and have been associated with serious health risks. The agency called the 265 00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:45.079 move yesterday a major win for public health. A bunny boom has baffled animal 266 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:48.720 services in Granada Hills. Nearly one hundred rabbits were found last week on some 267 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:55.119 private property. The abandonment resulted in rabbits well making more rabbits. Officials in 268 00:20:55.279 --> 00:21:00.200 la and Chatsworth called the Bunny World Foundation for extra support, dispay and re 269 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:04.200 home the animals.

Our very own Steve Gregory stat down 291 00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:52.599 with LAPD Chief Michael Moore. Today is his last day on the job. 292 00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:57.960 You're listening to Wake Up Call on Demand from KFI Am six forty. Thanks 293 00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:02.519 for joining us on this Leap Day. Here's what we're following in the KFI 294 00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:06.359 twenty four hour newsroom. Both President Biden and former President Trump are going to 295 00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:10.759 visit the US Mexico border in Texas today. Biden's going to meet with Border 296 00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:14.480 patrol agents and local leaders in Brownsville. Trump's going to be more than three 297 00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:18.000 hundred miles away in Eagle Paths. Two men convicted in a deadly drive by 298 00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:22.559 shooting in South La more than twenty years ago have been freed. The La 299 00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:26.640 County DA says new informations come to light and has formerly exonerated the men, 300 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:30.359 who were fifteen and twenty at the time of the killing. Wendy's is trying 301 00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:34.240 to clarify its plans for so called dynamic pricing, following a huge backlash to 302 00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:38.599 the announcement that food prices would fluctuate during the day depending on the time and 303 00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:42.519 how busy the restaurant is. Fast Food Giant says the plan is to discount 304 00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:48.480 food during off peak hours and not surge prices at the busiest time of the 305 00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:51.279 day. At six oh five, it's handle on the news. The Supreme 306 00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:56.000 Court's going to hear the case of whether former President Trump had complete immunity when 307 00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:59.319 he was in office. And at five point fifty, we're going to take 308 00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.559 a closer look at both of the president and the former president. Heading to 309 00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:08.720 the border. ABC's Jim Ryan is there. Today is Michael Moore's last day 310 00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:12.839 as Chief of the LAPD for nearly forty three years. Moore has been wearing 311 00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:18.000 the official LAPD badge the last five and a half as chief. More hadn't 312 00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:19.880 planned to be the boss, but his predecessor, Chief Charlie Beck, asked 313 00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:23.160 More to stick around. Moore was the assistant chief at the time and was 314 00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:26.400 actually looking for another job at that point. I was actually competing for a 315 00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:32.240 chief job in another city, and where was that at San Diego? San 316 00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:34.480 Diego, And in fact I went down that following Monday. I was one 317 00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:37.119 of two finalists for that job. And it looks like Moore made the right 318 00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:41.960 choice. He would eventually become the fifty seventh chief of the department. I 319 00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:45.039 recently sat down with Chief Moore. It would be our last one on one 320 00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:48.039 interview as reporter to Chief. I asked him about getting the reins from Chief 321 00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:52.759 Charlie Beck. Did Chief Beck give you any advice? Did he tell you 322 00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:59.240 about any pitfalls? What was that inside baseball tip that he gave you? 323 00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:04.400 Sure? Well? Something I carry with me every day, and that is 324 00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:18.559 he gave me worse of that. Here give me ten rules, ten things 325 00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:22.480 remember as I go about my work. And he left this for me, 326 00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:27.559 and he hand wrote in number eleven they're all typed. One through ten is 327 00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:30.960 type and then are our type. And then number eleven he hand wrote, 328 00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:36.119 blame me. Don't be afraid to use this as necessary. It works better 329 00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:38.720 sooner than later exactly, and then he signed it. He more took over 330 00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:42.279 at a time when things in the department seemed pretty stable, But that would 331 00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:47.319 soon change. The pandemic hit and then on May fifth, twenty twenty, 332 00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:52.039 George Floyd was killed, and that incident would forever change the department, isolation 333 00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:57.960 and the quarantine and the shutting down a society, and concert with that formed 334 00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:03.200 a storm where suddenly the frustration and anger and everything that was wrong in a 335 00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:08.200 person's life now the police became a focal point. And while many demonstrations and 336 00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:14.920 protests were peaceful, there were also giving amount that too many that were violent. 337 00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.240 A lot of rank and file say they lost respect for you the day 338 00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:22.319 took a knee and you're looking back on that now, do you regret that? 339 00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:27.440 Yes? And no. I mean the reality of that gesture will probably 340 00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:33.000 forever be misunderstood by Son, but others they understood exactly what I was doing. 341 00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:37.400 During your tenure, what would you consider your lowest point? My lowest 342 00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:47.119 point was the calling in the National Guard, mobilizing the organization and essentially seeing 343 00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:52.519 riotous conditions in our streets across Los Angeles. It was a circumstance that I'd 344 00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:59.759 seen as a sergeant in nineteen ninety two, and it was one that was 345 00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:03.680 it was very disappointing because and it hurt now the other side, your proudest 346 00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:08.920 moment I don't have. It's got to be a singular There's got to be 347 00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:11.720 something singular. I know you've had a lot of good moments, You've had 348 00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.519 a lot of great moments, but there's got to be one that it doesn't 349 00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:18.720 have to be a grand scale thing, just the tiniest thing or the largest. 350 00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:23.440 The proudest thing I am of is I go home to a wife who 351 00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:30.119 loves me, and I have a daughter who does as well. That's there's 352 00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:37.000 so much about this job that to keep that imbalanced. Well, But so 353 00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:41.640 I'm proud of the fact that we've had a team and I get to leave 354 00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:45.759 and take that next journey with them. Give yourself a letter grade from your 355 00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:53.079 performance as chief b b Okay. I think I leave with accomplishments, with 356 00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:56.960 criticism, a drawer full of things I will I wish I'd gotten done, 357 00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:00.839 and more things I want to get done. But also I'm probably know that 358 00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:04.079 I've done everything I can and it's time forty two years and some change. 359 00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:08.720 In this juncture with where the city is at, with what's in front of 360 00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:12.160 it, it needs an early handoff. But it doesn't much matter because at 361 00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:15.039 the end of the day, I know what I did and why I did 362 00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:17.839 it, and that's all it matters. Well, this would be our last 363 00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:21.160 one on one as chief, so I just can't tell you how much I've 364 00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:25.640 appreciated working with you over the years. Your accessibility has always been a long 365 00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:30.640 You have brought in an approachability and candor, and you had to have the 366 00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:33.440 you know, you always play fair, and it says so you ask hard 367 00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:36.640 questions. You know this isn't softball stuff. But at the same time you're 368 00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:41.119 fair and your balance and to that end, it's mutual respect and admiration. 369 00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:44.160 And I wish nothing but the best, and I wish I just wish there 370 00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:48.000 was more Steve Gregory's around here. Well I'm not sure about that. For 371 00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:51.480 wake up call, I'm Steve Gregory k if I news, I think one 372 00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:56.920 Steve Gregory is plenty. Thank you. Steve Gregory. Super interesting and I 373 00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:02.160 agree Steve does a heck of a job. Uh right. At the beginning 374 00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:04.799 of the year. It was, in fact, on January first, a 375 00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:12.359 lot of people with sweet tooth or sweet teeth were pretty shocked when there was 376 00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:18.599 an announcement by Sweet Lady Jane that all of the locations that they have opened 377 00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:22.759 around the Southland were going to be closing and everybody was getting laid off, 378 00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:26.119 and at the time, Sweet Lady Jane said, we can't afford to do 379 00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:32.440 business here. But now Nick, we're getting some rumblings that maybe Sweet Lady 380 00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:41.200 Jane's coming back. Nick Robin, do you have Nick up? I there 381 00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:45.039 there we go. Oh no, no, it's all good. I was 382 00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:47.839 just going to say I was in Largemont Village yesterday and they were supposed to 383 00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:49.839 have a Sweet Lady Jane that would open around the holidays last year, and 384 00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:52.880 it never got open. And the building is still there and everything is still 385 00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:56.759 set up. So it's kind of wild to think that, you know, 386 00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.279 in a quick turnaround of just a couple of months, there might be some 387 00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:03.720 sugar on the horizon if you will. Well. Yeah, so the interesting 388 00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:07.039 thing to me and me I have not been to this place, but anybody 389 00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:10.359 who has, they just rave about it, and then I'm like, dang, 390 00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:12.319 I missed out, and now I never get the chance. But they 391 00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:18.480 closed very abruptly, and then a couple weeks later, somebody who apparently had 392 00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:22.720 worked there for a couple of months filed a lawsuit against them, saying they 393 00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:26.519 hadn't been paid and there was all this stuff, and then social media is 394 00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:30.799 a buzz and starts weighing in, and that's never a good thing. The 395 00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:33.519 court of public opinion is really really challenging. So yeah, so they have 396 00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:40.480 that to deal with. But now they're putting out on social media that said 397 00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:45.119 a post said is this thing on? We have some good news to share. 398 00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:48.759 We're not quite ready to let the cake out of the box. And 399 00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:55.319 then they said, have you been craving a slice of triple berry cake? 400 00:30:55.519 --> 00:31:00.000 Which I hear is wonderful dark chocolate sea salt brownie, which sounds incredible. 401 00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.799 Well what about a curried chicken sandwich soup? Well same here. We think 402 00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:08.759 it's time for a reunion, don't you. And then the latest cryptic message 403 00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:12.200 is can you taste it? Get ready? And Sino Calabasis, Beverly Hills, 404 00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:15.960 Arch Month, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood. So they're reopening. 405 00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:22.680 But if they couldn't afford to do business, how are they reopening. It's 406 00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.240 interesting to me, like, I'm I think it's cool. I hope they 407 00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:30.880 are coming back. I've heard that there may be new ownership, and then 408 00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:33.039 we'll have to. We'll have to wait and see, and if they do 409 00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:38.400 reopen, I'm definitely headed that way. But I think it just sounds so 410 00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:44.279 weird because the closing was so fast and now the reopening is fast. And 411 00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:47.880 Anne and I were talking about this yesterday and I'm like, is there something 412 00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:51.559 fishy going on? Was this a stunt? Well? Yeah, and that's 413 00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:56.640 always my question period, and especially right now with business and with how things 414 00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:59.640 are. And then, like I said, I'm literally walking by the shop 415 00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:02.119 that didn't even get to be opened, and you have this beautiful place in 416 00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:07.279 Larchmont Village where you're like, Okay, well that's interesting. But yeah, 417 00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:09.799 it almost feels like there might have been something to turn around. And we're 418 00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:14.640 so used to things that close or go bankrupt or whatever, and then it'll 419 00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:17.079 be really interesting to see where this goes moving forward. Well, if they 420 00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:20.839 do reopen, Nick, I think we should go out and about and go, 421 00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:23.319 Yeah, sample some triple berry cake. I agree with you. Now, 422 00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:28.200 Allegedly, if you get the there's a maybe a fake out that's over 423 00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:34.119 at Whole Foods, so they have a triple berry fake out or something to 424 00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:37.119 that effect. That's very much similar to that triple berry cake from Sweet Lady 425 00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:40.559 Jane, So we might have to do some research ahead of time before that 426 00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:44.680 happens. Yeah, and that's just right across the street, so exactly, 427 00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:46.559 that's just like it's a real easy walk. And what are you doing? 428 00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:50.240 Go get us some cake? Although I know you guys have got those pull 429 00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:52.279 aparts from Wendy you so, and you're des really jealous this morning? Yeah, 430 00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:55.759 all right, thank you. Nick. You're listening to wake Up Call 431 00:32:55.920 --> 00:33:01.039 on Demand from KFI am six forty is you know, according to tradition, 432 00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:07.480 it's the day that women can propose to men. Hmm, who should I 433 00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:12.039 propose to I'm gonna have to think on that one. I propose that we 434 00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:14.960 get more information from Nick Pouliocheani. You know, we were talking about Sweet 435 00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:19.759 Lady Jane and rumblings that it's coming back and some cryptic messages, and of 436 00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:22.920 course Nick dives into everything. He's my best researcher. So what did you 437 00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:29.000 just find? I found out that even though you cannot order immediately, the 438 00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:32.200 ordering platform for Sweet Lady Jane is up and active right now, so I 439 00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:37.279 can actually so it can't so it has notations pick up not available at this 440 00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:42.359 time this location does not offer online ordering now, but I can actually go 441 00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:45.160 in and pre order things because I was looking up the Triple berry cake because 442 00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:49.119 I want to find where that fake is for us to try it before Sweet 443 00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:52.079 Lady Jane's come back, and that's when it's like pre order only, and 444 00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:54.519 I was like, excuse me, pre order only. So by following down 445 00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:58.240 that rabbit hole, it looks like the platform is already up and running. 446 00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:00.559 You mean, if they're not taking orders right now, it's still available there 447 00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:05.039 to get all the details. And it also even has the pre order link 448 00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:07.039 available. Yes, so okay, what happened. Here's another sign that it 449 00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:12.639 might be coming back on the stores in Santa Monica and Encino. There are 450 00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:15.840 now signs posted on the doors that say we're coming back, so we'll be 451 00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:19.360 watching. Thank you, Eric. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty 452 00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:22.840 four hour newsroom. Northern California is about to get slammed by what's being called 453 00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:25.960 the strongest storm of the season. Blizzard warnings go into effect this morning for 454 00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:30.719 the Sierra Nevada Mountains, including Lake Tahoe. The storm could dump up to 455 00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:34.159 ten feet of snow. Wind gusts are expected to top one hundred miles an 456 00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:37.079 hour. Lawmakers are working to pass several bills in Sacramento to fight the rise 457 00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:43.159 of retail theft. One would allow for prosecution of repeat offenders. Another would 458 00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:45.599 make it a felony to press your kids to commit crimes. There's also a 459 00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:51.719 bill that would allow county courts to charge retail thieves in other counties if they 460 00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:55.440 are multi offenders. Three cities in California have been ranked as having some of 461 00:34:55.480 --> 00:35:00.400 the worst commutes in the country. No big surprise there, La two on 462 00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:05.519 the list based on time and money spent driving. San Francisco is seventh worst, 463 00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:09.360 Oakland is tenth. New York City number one. We're just minutes away 464 00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:14.039 from Handle. On the news this morning, Wendy's was hit with a huge 465 00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:19.280 backlash over its dynamic pricing plans. So now the fast food company has some 466 00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:22.920 splainin to do. It's trying to kind of clear the air on this one. 467 00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:25.920 Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan in Texas. 468 00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:30.239 Yesterday we talked Wendy's. Today, we're talking to presidents of the border. 469 00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:35.320 Yeah, both the former president and the current president will be along the US 470 00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:39.159 Mexico border. President Biden will be here in the city of Brownsville later today. 471 00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:44.000 He'll be meeting with local leaders. He's going to talk about He'll use 472 00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:49.280 this as the backdrop for discussion of the Senate bill, the bipartisan immigration bill 473 00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:52.599 that failed, and try to get something going on that front. Meanwhile, 474 00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:57.320 up the river from here, in the city of Eagle Pass, former President 475 00:35:57.360 --> 00:36:00.440 Donald Trump will make an appearance. He'll be talking Texas National Guard members, 476 00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:07.679 local leaders, and discussing the border situation there. They're vastly different situations, 477 00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:10.280 by the way, amy up an Eagle Pass about three hundred and twenty five 478 00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:17.719 miles from here, it's considered the hot spot for undocumented immigrants coming across the 479 00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:22.639 river into the United States illegally. And isn't that where they're putting up the 480 00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:25.480 razor wire. Yes, the razor wire has gone up there also those floating 481 00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:30.039 barriers, the big buoys that are out there in the water, and the 482 00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:34.199 Texas National Guard has taken over a city park there, much to the chagrin 483 00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:37.400 of the Border Patrol agents federal agents who are trying to get in there and 484 00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:39.599 do their job too. So that's really become the epic center down here. 485 00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:45.159 In Brownsville, the number of people coming across illegally and legally by the way 486 00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:50.519 is much more manageable. This is a larger community, a better infrastructure to 487 00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:55.199 handle this sort of situation. The numbers in fact of people coming across illegally 488 00:36:55.239 --> 00:37:00.000 here at Brownsville has gone off, has dropped quite dramatically in the last few 489 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:04.400 months. That's what President Biden will to try to highlight here today. Well, 490 00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:07.159 but what he's going to miss is that they're just shifting west and crossing 491 00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:12.559 in Arizona and California now more or less, yes, and even shifting west 492 00:37:12.639 --> 00:37:15.920 up to know the other parts of the Texas Mexico board of the up and 493 00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:21.280 I'll passo an eagle pass and then over you're right into Arizona and then California. 494 00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:23.960 So yeah, it's all kind of moving in that direction, isn't it 495 00:37:24.039 --> 00:37:27.679 kind of I mean, like, I don't know if you're hearing it, 496 00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:31.360 but what I'm hearing is it's sort of disingenuous to go to Brownsville where the 497 00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:36.480 problem is not as bad as it used to be, Like, wouldn't it 498 00:37:36.480 --> 00:37:39.039 make more sense to go where ten thousand people a day are crossing? To 499 00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:42.800 say, you guys, this is horrible. We really have to pass something 500 00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:45.039 to fix it. Well, it's politics, though, too, right. 501 00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:51.199 I mean President Biden wants to show that things are not as bad maybe as 502 00:37:51.239 --> 00:37:54.960 the Republicans are saying they are. Former President Trump wants to show that things 503 00:37:54.960 --> 00:38:00.719 are worse than they've been in recent years. So yeah, it's politics, 504 00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:04.719 it's optics, so the whole thing, right, you're right, I mean 505 00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:07.519 going to the place where the problem is the worst and trying to get things 506 00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:10.360 done. I think you would do that quietly though, wouldn't you, instead 507 00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:14.320 of making a campaign appearance. That's what these two guys are doing today, 508 00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:20.079 Okay, And the White House is it's a coincidence that they're both going on 509 00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:23.480 the same day and summer saying now, not really, because Trump has had 510 00:38:23.519 --> 00:38:27.519 this plan for two weeks. Yeah, he's had this plan and then this, 511 00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:31.440 the Biden trip, came up after that. So you know, by 512 00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:34.639 the way, they said the President Biden, by the way, while he's 513 00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:37.559 here today, is going to get a briefing on the wildfires burning up in 514 00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:42.039 the Texas, so he'll happen to be in the same state that that's all 515 00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:45.760 going on. That's about eight hundred miles from here. Yeah, Texas is 516 00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:47.400 so big you think that you know, oh Texas is on fire, but 517 00:38:47.480 --> 00:38:51.920 they probably don't even see the smoke down where you are. And how is 518 00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:54.920 that going? I saw the numbers this morning. It's over a million acres 519 00:38:54.920 --> 00:39:00.000 burned. Huge. Yeah, it will at some point become a largest wildfire 520 00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:04.880 ever to burn in Texas. We do have one fatality now. I'm told 521 00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:09.840 that a grandmother and eighty some odd old, eighty three year old grandmother has 522 00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:15.800 died. She was a former substitute teacher. She was in her home in 523 00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:19.559 the town of Stinnett when the fire came across she apparently that was the one 524 00:39:19.559 --> 00:39:23.559 person who died. And where it's burning, it's a very rural area, 525 00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:27.960 is that correct? It is. It's in the Southern Plains, the US 526 00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:30.960 Southern Plans up in the Panhandle, where the most notable feature, I think, 527 00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:34.920 and what I've been there many times, is the wind, just the 528 00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:39.599 constant howling wind that comes. There's nothing to block it for many many miles 529 00:39:39.599 --> 00:39:44.880 around. So yeah, it's very rural. Cattle ranches out there, A 530 00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:47.920 lot of farming happens out there. You also have the pan Text nuclear power, 531 00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:52.159 or rather nuclear weapons plant in Amarillo. Is that still shut down? 532 00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:58.599 Yes? Well, yeah, essentially it is the only essential personnel are on 533 00:39:58.719 --> 00:40:01.400 staff there. They're not producing anything at this point. But they also assure 534 00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:07.119 us that none of the nuclear material is in jeopardy. Well that's good news. 535 00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:08.880 Yeah, okay, all right, Well, Jim, Jim Ryan, 536 00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:12.760 thank you so much for the update. Appreciated a ton. Thanks Amy. 537 00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:15.519 Oh and I forgot to ask him because Anne wrote an extra note on my 538 00:40:16.159 --> 00:40:20.199 show notes that said, is Trump going to look at the wall? He 539 00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:24.800 never finished, and promised that Mexico would pay for I doubt he's going to 540 00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:29.119 talk about that. They did say it's all political. Let's get back to 541 00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:30.800 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A 542 00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:36.559 street medicine program in Garden Grove to help the homeless has received ten million dollars 543 00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:39.280 to expand into two more cities. Just last week, we had five members 544 00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:44.039 receive housing vouchers and are out looking for apartments as we speak. Orange County's 545 00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:47.920 cal Optoma Health Medical executive Director Kelly Bruno Nelson says almost two hundred homeless people 546 00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:52.519 in Garden Grove got medical care right on the street in the first year of 547 00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:54.239 the program, they get a doctor that comes and sees them, a nurse 548 00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:59.000 that comes and sees them, and more importantly, it's pure navigator, somebody 549 00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:04.159 that actually was was previously that has lived expertise. Street medical services start in 550 00:41:04.199 --> 00:41:08.119 Anaheim and Coasta Mesa in August in Orange County. Co Ben Carson KFI News, 551 00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:14.639 President Biden's doctor says the president's latest physical exam shows no new concerns. 552 00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:17.199 ABC's Karen Travers says a report calls Biden a healthy, active, robust, 553 00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:22.559 eighty one year old male who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the 554 00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:27.320 presidency. Doctor O'Connor's report does say the president began using a positive airway pressure 555 00:41:27.360 --> 00:41:31.239 machine this past year to treat ongoing sleep apnea. Mister Biden's gate remains stiff, 556 00:41:31.239 --> 00:41:36.400 according to O'Connor, but hasn't worsened since last year, and he exercises 557 00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:39.559 at least five days a week. The president's physical yesterday did not include a 558 00:41:39.639 --> 00:41:45.480 cognitive test. Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre says Biden passes a cognitive test every 559 00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:51.239 day, so Netflix users might have to update their payment methods to keep their 560 00:41:51.239 --> 00:41:54.559 shows streaming. The company says there will no longer be an option to pay 561 00:41:54.599 --> 00:42:00.000 for the streaming subscription through Apple's iTunes or app store Netflix, as users must 562 00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:05.480 add a new payment method by their next billing cycle or they'll be cut off. 563 00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:07.800 You've been listening to Wake Up Call with me Amy King.
