You're listening to KFI Am six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. This is your wake up call for Monday,
March twenty fifth. I'm Amy King. So glad you're starting your work week
with us today. Tony is starting his work week with us today, but
only one more day and he's very, very excited about it because Kono's coming
back and Tony is ready to sleep in. We also have a producer ends
taking the day off, so we get producer Michelle for the day. That's
always a treat. Oh and there she's waving, but now she's busy getting
ready for Bill Handle's show, so she's not talking to us right now,
which is fine. Nine months until Christmas. I saw that it was March
twenty fifth, and I went, oh, God, Christmas is coming.
I've already started buying presents. Do you ever do that? Like when you
go out, I see something and I go, oh, that would be
cool for this person, and so I just get it, and then it
has to be in storage in the closet until December, and then I dig
everything out and see what I bought throughout the year because I never remember.
Here's what's ahead on the wake up call today? Today is the deadline for
former President Trump to pay the four hundred and fifty four million dollar bond in
his New York civil fraud judgment. If Trump is not able to secure the
bond, New York Attorney General Letitia James and her staff may start the process
of seizing Trump's assets. Never a dull moment, It's going to be interesting
to see what happens there. Metrolink and Amtrak service is back on track in
San Clemente. Service restarts today. It's been shut down for the last couple
of months because of landslides on the track. Work to put in a retaining
wall to show up the hillside has been completed. Chick fil A is backing
off. It's decade old no antibiotics ever pledge. It's intended to help prevent
human antibiotic resistance. Well, Chick fil A says now it will embrace a
standard known as no antibiotics important to human medicine. They had to kind of
back off because of projected supply shortages. At six oh five, it's handled
on the news. So the sun is acting up. There's a geomagnetic storm
headed our direction. Tell you what that means. Let's get started with some
of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A seventeen
year old girl has fatally shot herself at the La County Sheriff's in station.
Lieutenant Art Spencer says the teen went into the station in the city of Industry
last night and knocked on the door. He says there was a struggle and
the teen grabbed a gun from the deputy's holster during the altercation. It is
alleged that the female suffered from a self inflicted gunshot wound with what we believe
to be the deputy's fireman. He says it is believed the shooting is related
to a family disturbance call deputies had responded to earlier. The Dodgers show,
Hey Otani's expected to speak about the gambling scandal that led to his interpreter being
fired. Major League Baseball has opened a formal investigation into allegations that if a
Missahara stole millions of dollars from Otani to place bets with an alleged bookie.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says he thinks it's good that Otani has chosen to speak.
I think it's it's the right thing to do, and I'm happy he's
going to you know, speak and speak to what he knows and give his
thoughts on the whole situation. Robert says he thinks it'll give everyone a little
bit more clarity. New York Attorney General Letitia James is prepared to start seizing
some of former President Trump's assets if he doesn't pay the four hundred and sixty
four million dollars he owes in his civil fraud case. If he does not
have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek, you know,
judgment enforcement mechanisms in court. James has registered the court's judgment in Westchester
County, which is a sign that she may be eyeing Trump's Briarcliffe Manor golf
club and Bedford estate known as Seven Springs, in addition to his properties in
the city. Trump's attorneys have argued it impossible for them to secure the bond
to appeal. The usc and UCLA women's basketball teams have made it to the
second round of the women's NCAA Tournament. UCLA takes on Crichton at Polly Pavilion
at five point thirty tonight, then USC faces Kansas at seven at the Galen
Center. The teams are in different brackets, so they wouldn't play each other
until the final four. Wouldn't it be fun if they both made it to
the final four? Now, let's say good morning to ABC's Patrick Reveal.
Patrick. We're gonna be talking, of course, about the terrorist attack in
Moscow, and Patrick has probably a unique perspective on this because he spent ten
years in Moscow before relocating to London. So Patrick, good morning, Please
tell us the latest on the terrorist attack that's even more deadly than we first
thought. Good morning. Yeah, the death toll is now at one hundred
and thirty seven people killed and still it should be said, over seventy in
hospital according to authorities. You know, this is really one of the deadliest
terror attacks to hit Russia in its modern history, and it's certainly the deadliest
in about twenty years. And you know, over night we also saw for
the first time the suspected attack has been brought into court to be charged.
I think the images of the attackers are worth talking about, or the images
of the men accused of being the attacks are worth talking about. The men
were brought in looking extremely battered, you know, black eyes, swollen faces.
One of them was brought in in a wheelchair. And you know,
there are obviously questions whether these men have been tortured, and I think in
general Russian authorities are barely even trying to conceive it. Some of them are
actually praising the suggestion that they've been tortured. The video circulating online showing one
of the men having his ear cut off and put into his mouth. Another
man appears in one of the videos to be being electrocuted. And these are
things that actually, you know, Russia, There's always been issues of torture
in Russia, but I've never seen him in my time covering, I've never
seen it quite so naked, you know, high profile case like this.
The Crimlin this morning also noticeably declining to comment on that, but also declining
to deny that the men had been tortured. Yeah. I mean it's you
think about that and you think how horrific that is, But then you also
think that they walked into a concert hall and just started shooting the place up.
I mean, so what they did, I mean, what's the equivalency,
you know, completely, I think, you know, I think it
comes down to a question of law, right. You know, I think
these men, what these manner acused are doing is utterly appalling. But you
know, it's be the same in the US, right, we try to
uphold civilized standards where you don't torture suspects. But I think, as you
said, the attack itself was absolutely horrific. I mean, these men walked
in to a concert hall that was packed, it appears with thousands of people
and just began firing indiscriminately. You know. ISIS have released a video from
what appears to be body cam footage from one of it's from the attackers that
shows them just firing point blank range of people. They then set fire to
the venue, which is an enormous venues. I've been there. It's one
of the biggest malls in Moscow, and the concert venue is completely burned to
the ground. You know, just horrific. As you say, I think,
you know, ISIS have claimed responsibility for this attack. They released a
video for What's very notable is that Russian authorities are so far ignoring that.
Kremlin again this morning refused to say that they're even looking at whether it's ISIS,
and that's because so far, Vladimir Poodin personally, but also many leading
Crimin figures are trying to put the blame on Ukraine. They've been trying to
suggest that Ukraine is somehow involved, despite all the growing evidence that Isis was
very much behind this attack. And when the Kremlin comes out and says that,
I mean, do you live there, do the Russian people believe it
or do they see that it doesn't add up? I think the problem it's
very difficult because ultimately, the Kremlin has such complete control over the media in
Russia and it's broadcasting this out and you have to try and imagine what it
would be like in your own country, particularly you know, where most Russians
really many do increasingly speak English, but the majority don't. And so when
Russian language media is just full of planes and insinuations that it could be Ukraine,
your doubts submerge. And part of the problem is that just in Russia,
there's always the sense that you never really know what's going on, and
that's what you hear from Russians is just that they live in this sort of
total sense of uncertainty where they don't really believe anything. But in reality,
when you scratch the surface, you find they usually are repeating Kremlin lines that
have got sold out there, and so I think, unfortunately, and also
because they are at war with Ukraine right now, I think many people will
unfortunately start to believe the official version. There'll be all the you know,
and there'll be insinuations that somehow Ukraine were using ISIS for example. But you
know, the US has said it's provided intelligence before the attack suggesting the ISIS
was planning such an attack, and there is every indication that they did,
because at the start of the month there was a very unusual warning from the
US embassy and also multiple other Western embassies in Moscow telling people to avoid concerts
because of the threat of an imminent terrorist attack on concerts in Moscow. Two
weeks it didn't happen that weekend, but two weeks later it did happen,
And so there is every indication that in fact, yes, this was ISIS,
and that yes, the US did try to warn rush it. And
still they're discounting it. But I mean, I don't get it, but
I you kind of almost if you get inside Putin's head or try to,
it makes sense that he would say, oh, it's Ukraine, you know,
to try to get support or whatever I think it does, because you
know, they have every incentive to say this wasn't ISIS ISIS and try and
put it on Ukraine because the fact is that if it is ISIS as it
appears, it's a huge security failure for Russia. It makes who look like
he is His regime is not providing security that it promises, and so he
has every incentive to instead try and turn this into something useful for himself and
to try and mobilize Russian support. I mean, you'll see there's also a
lot of speculation and conspiracy online that this could even be some kind of false
flag by the Kremlin, that they could have even organized it themselves. I
mean, honestly, you can never totally rule anything out in Russia. But
frankly, it doesn't have to be a false flag. It can simply be
that this was a real ISIS attack, But the Kremlin now doesn't want to
acknowledge that because it's much more useful for it to blame it on Ukraine and
try and stoke hatred for Ukraine. Yeah, what is isis is beef with
Russia. ISIS have had a long beef with Russia. It began in part
because of this long running islamust insurgency in the south of Russia, in the
Caucuses in Chechhnir, but also because Vatama Putin intervened militarily in Syria, and
so ITIS for many years tried to launch attacks like the group's exclaimed responsibility of
isis K, which is the branch of ISIS based in Afghanistan and Central Asia,
which Russia has a lot of borders with Central Asian countries, and there
are you know, millions of Central Asian people in Russia. The men accused
are citizens of Tajikistan, and I think, you know, ITIS basically have
tried for years to do this. When I was there, we always feared
that they would manage to make an attack because they you know, this was
the height of the attacks in Europe back in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen.
We always thought it would happen in Moscow. It never did. And I
think the question people are asking is, you know, is the fsb our
Russian security Service is too distracted by the war in Ukraine that this was able
to happen. Good question. ABC's Patrick Evil, thank you so much for
your information and a unique insight on what happened over in Moscow. Appreciate it.
Thanks. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Very questing code three for a possible mountain lion
attack. A mountain lion has killed a man in a forest near Sacramento.
The Eldorado County Sheriff's Office says they received a call Saturday afternoon from an eighteen
year old who said a mountain lion attacked him and his twenty one year old
brother. Deputies and paramedics finding the mountain line next to the twenty one year
old on the ground. ABC's Jerene Shaw says the younger brother was taken to
the hospital. He has had several surgeries. The Department of Fish and Wildlife
and an el Dorado County trapper shot and killed the mountain lion. Officials say
the man had gone into the forest Saturday to look for deer antlers. A
woman from Riverside County says an attack by a driver who'd been speeding through her
neighbor neighborhood has affected her physical and mental health. The woman from Norco says
she yelled at the driver to slow down a couple weeks ago and grabbed your
cell phone to take a picture of his license plate. She says. That's
when the guy stopped, got out of his car and demanded her phone,
then attacked her. The guy was cited for assault and battery and released.
The FAA is taking a closer look at United Airlines following a series of serious
mishaps. ABC's Faith Abubet says the Federal Aviation Administration is looking to identify hazards
and insure safety. United has put its employees on notice, telling them to
actually expect an increased presence of the FAA in their operations, while still stressing
that safety is their top priority. Bloomberg says United is being stopped from approving
new pilots and may not be allowed to add new roots. It's time for
Opening Day Dodger Baseball from Dodger Stadium just a couple of days away. The
Dodgers will take on Saint Louis this Thursday afternoon, starting at one ten.
You can listen to the game on AM five seventy LA Sports and NHD on
the iHeartRadio app. Keyword AM five seventy LA Sports brought to you in part
by LA Care for all of LA. When we come back, we're going
to be checking in with ABC's Jim Ryan about how several states are kind of
following the lead of Texas and in the absence of a clear federal plan,
may be planning to take immigration enforcement into their own hands. You're listening to
Wake Up Call on Demand from KFI Am six forty. Here's what we're following
In the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. La Dodger Star Show, Hey Otani
will be talking publicly for the first time since illegal gambling and theft allegation surfaced
involving his now former interpreter. The interpreters accused of receiving more than four and
a half million dollars from the Dodger Superstar to payoff gambling debts made with an
illegal bookie. One person has been injured in a car explosion on a residential
street in Compton. The explosion was reported about seven last night. Pictures from
the scene show a badly damaged car and a field of debris on the street
and sidewalk. The cause of the explosion isn't clear. Someone who a powerball
ticket in Sun Valley is a new millionaire. No one won the jackpot,
but a ticket sold at a seven eleven came close, matching five of the
six winning numbers from Saturday night. That ticket is worth two point four million
dollars. Your next shot at the big prize is tonight. The powerball jackpot
is up to eight hundred million dollars. At six oh five, it's handle
on the news. Former President Trump has a busy day. He's got a
deadline to pay a bond on a four hundred and sixty four million dollars,
and he's expected in court in the Stormy Daniel's hush money case. Right now,
let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim, the
Texas immigration law is still tied up in the courts, and while we wait
to hear whether the Court of Appeals is going to allow it to move forward,
other states are going, hmmm, maybe that's a good idea. Yeah,
seven states at last count, and probably more than that. Hows some
kind of immigration law that's being considered out, all of them led by Republicans.
Taking a queue from Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott, this is a winning
issue on the campaign trail, and those folks know that it's really essentially pitting
the Democratic Biden administration against various state governments, even some states that are far
from any border. Iowa, for example, has taken up one law and
its governor is supposed to sign it. She and others around the country are
undoubtedly waiting to see what happens with the fifty US Secret Court of Appeals,
because that's the panel that now is taking a look at the constitutionality of this
amy okay, and so in the do they just kind of wait and see
what the appeals Court has to say, and then they'll go, okay,
so it said this, so we will move forward exactly, and you know
that's happened in the past with other state laws. You'll wait to see what
happens in the legal process, what kind of success one style of law has
before you go ahead and sit down and drop one of your own. So
the out lawmakers are waiting to see what happens with this one. This is
the law, of course, that's before the one that allows or requires early
police officers at the local level, county chef's deputies and city police to arrest
people they suspect of coming into the country illegally. Now District attorneys all along
the border have been counseling police about how, in practical terms, to enforce
this. They're all essentially being told that, look, if you see somebody,
unless you see them coming into the country across the Rio Grande, in
our case, between the ports of entry, unless you see that happen,
don't even bother presenting a case. It'll be too difficult to prove, too
expensive. And what's more, we just don't have the jail space to handle
everybody who's charged with a misdemeanor trespassing allegation, which is what would come under
this law. So, Jim, it's not going to be if I'm understanding
what you're saying. They're basically being told, when you see them come across
the border, then you can go ahead and get them. But if you
see them walking down the street in El Paso and go hmm, something looks
off there, don't even bother with that, right unless a violent crime is
being committed, then you know this is something that is going to be headed,
like marijuana possession perhaps, or any other trespassing charge. Do you jail
somebody who's arrested for simple trespassing? Do you give them a citation. So
yeah, it's and police will use their own discretion, and that's what the
DA's are telling people. Look, if you see them, you can take
them into custody. If you don't see the offense taking place, it's going
to be really difficult to prove. Okay, here's here's a I love what
ifs oh? I know? Right, So if it's if it gets blocked
by the Fifth US Circuit Court, it could go back up to the Supreme
Court to see if they'll decide it. Right, and even if it's upheld,
it'll most likely get back to the Supreme Court. Okay. Either way,
it's going to end up there. Okay, So if it's blocked,
what happens if Texas just ignores the court and says, screw it, we're
going to keep enforcing. Well, they could be up against a massive lawsuit,
right, You're The argument against U S before is that the Texas is
usurping what has been a federal responsibility written into the Constitution, that it's up
to the US government to enforce its borders and not the state of Texas.
And a police officer in you'll pass, for example, So yeah, I
think they if they do that, then you know, they're looking at some
massive lawsuits. I think, and do we have any idea when we might
expect a decision from the Fifth US Circuit Court, Not at all. I
mean, if people have given up guessing or trying to bet on when these
things might happen, could be this week. I suspect it will be,
but I'm not going to lay money on it. Okay, ABC's Jim Ryan,
thank you so much. See Amy. All right, let's get back
to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
At three homes and the Hollywood Hills have been red tagged because the hillsides behind
them could come down another storm over the weekend soak the hillsides even more.
Firefighters say there has been soil movement in the area, mud and debris has
seeped into the back of the properties. News brought to you by one eight
hundred got junk Measrolink is restarting passenger rail service through San Clementy, where a
landslide took a chunk of the hillside out. The slide two months ago damaged
a pedestrian bridge and left debris on the tracks. The Orange County Transportation Authority
worked with Metrolink to build a two hundred foot long wall at Mariposa Point to
shore up the hillside. Amtrak's Pacific Surfliners started limited service earlier this month.
Two crew members have been killed aboard a Holland America Cruise ship off Half Moon
Bay and the Bahamas. ABC's Rena Roy says the two were in an engine
room on Friday. Maritime law firm Walker and O'Neil says the workers were installing
filters there when a steam compensator unrelated to their duties exploded. She says the
room was filled with steam. The ship returned to its home port of Fort
Lauderdale's Saturday. That same day, there was a fire aboard a Carnival cruise
ship also in the Bahamas. Witnesses reported a lightning strike or the sound of
thunder before the fire started. No injuries were reported. Speaking of injuries,
skiing becoming more and more dangerous according to some new research about skiing. And
here's the deal. And I know Nick Pouliochini just was up skiing in Mammoth
last weekend, so I want to find out if he knows anything. He
knows anything about that? Oh, get that early morning frog. So in
California, more than six thousand skiers and snowboarders had to go to emergency rooms
in twenty twenty two because of injuries on the slopes. And here's what's kind
of interesting to me. During the period from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty two,
the number of skiers and ski snowboarders was about the same, but the
number of er visits are up fifty percent from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty two.
So, first, Nick, did you see anything, I mean,
did you see just like reckless skiers while you were out and about. Well,
I was going to say, Brian got taken out and he still suffered.
His left knee is an absolute mess right now because somebody that was a
newer skier took him out. Now, Brian and I are snowboard but we
were out on the mountain. He got taken out and we had to evaluate
it with the ski patrol to figure out if we were going to have to
take him to urgent care because in Mammoth there's not much anything but a hospital
there. So we experienced it firsthand that that really is. And the funnier
part was it was a very quiet weekend. Surprisingly it was Saint Patrick's Day
weekend, and you know, there weren't nearly the number of people you would
expect out on the mountain, and so it was a wide open situation where
the guy that was on the skis just took Brian out and looking around there
was absolutely no one to be seen other than that. And my sister was
the one that happened to be out on the mountain with him that portion of
it, and she was beside herself because she's like, how did this guy?
He came out of nowhere and he took Brian out and then was down.
So, yes, we experienced it firsthand that people just are hitting the
mountain with not the level of either maybe training or experience or having somebody with
a little bit more knowhow that's taken them out on the mat and to get
them a little bit better prepared for things. Yeah, so that kind of
falls in line with what this article is about. It says one of the
issues is that there is more recklessness on the slopes, like you said,
maybe somebody who doesn't really know what they're doing, And the other is that
the behavior is often exacerbated because people there's pot gummies there's magic mushrooms and there's
a lot of booze being consumed before people hit the slopes. Well, and
think that was Saint Patrick's day weekend, So that says a lot right there.
And I mean, granted, there's no breathalyzer before you strap on a
snowboard or strap on some skis, but that could have been one of those
optimal weekends I have had that available to you. Yeah, And here's the
other big factor, and this is from like former ski patrollers and emergency medical
texts and that kind of stuff, because people who work at the ski resorts
are pretty tight lipped about it, and apparently they won't comment at the resorts,
but former people who used to work there or do that emergency response stuff,
they said that. Another thing is that skiers are so focused on taking
selfies and taking video for their social media that they're completely oblivious to what's going
on around them. And I would everybody wants that snap, everybody wants that
moment, So I get it. So let that be a word of caution
to you next time you head out of the slopes. It's sort of like
when you're driving, you got to be your own best advocate and be safe
because the people around you aren't necessarily paying attention. When we come back,
we're going to be talking Kate Gate, and we'll also check in with our
very own Chris Adler, who's flying high with a group of women who are
soaring into a male dominated industry. You're listening to a wake up call on
demand from KFI AM six forty. We're just getting word that three senior Boeing
executives, including its CEO, will step down. The company says the CEO,
the chairman, and the head of its commercial airplanes division will be leaving
the company because of the growing scandal over this safety of its planes. A
new bill's been introduced in response to the death of a twelve year old boy
who collapsed during pe in Lake Elsinore last year. The bill would set up
guidelines for student activities during extreme weather conditions in California schools. Yahushua Robinson's death
has been attributed to a heart defect exacerbated by heat exposures. Today's the deadline
for former President Trump to pay the four hundred and fifty four million dollar bond
on his New York civil fraud judgment. If he can't come up with the
payment. New York Attorney General Letitia and James and her staff are ready to
start the process of seizing Trump's assets. At six oh five, it's handle
on the news Republicans could lose a Senate seat or a senator because of trump
Mania. At five point fifty, we're going to be talking with ABC's Karen
Travers. Vice President Harris is talking tough on Israel and also tap dancing about
why President Biden is on TikTok when he's such a harsh critic of it.
It is Women's History Month, and Chris Sadler says female pilots and van eyes
are breaking barriers as the demand for women in aviation sores where that's a sweet
sound for most aviators, a sound of freedom is they prepared to take to
the skies. For private pilot Katie Peters, the sound of the engine starting
means she's one flight closer to earning a commercial pilot license. I grew up
watching my dad and uncle's flying commercial airliner jets and always thought that that was
really fun, but it wasn't sure if it was something I could do professionally.
She became a flight attendant for a major airline for several years, but
could never shake the dream of earning her wings. That little bug in the
back of my brain was still kind of poking me to fly. So I
decided to make the switch, and I'm working on it now. Peters is
one of several female aviators who fly through the First Take Aviation Flight School in
Van nys All Right, we've got fuel, um both break check, trim,
set for takeoff. She says it it's empowering to be a woman in
a male dominated field, but it certainly has its challenges making sure that you
can stay focused and everybody else is staying focused on what the goal is at
hand, and that your gender isn't actually distracting anybody. Women make up about
forty seven percent of the workforce in the US, but females only make up
about five percent of the piloting workforce. First Take Aviation flight instructor Emma Baker
says aviation has been more welcoming to women in recent years, but there are
still some skeptics. People have a hard time coming around to the fact that
I am a female instructor, and sometimes I come in to meet a new
student, they go, oh, you're a girl. I was affecting a
guy. So then I do have the challenge of like having to prove myself
extra like, yes, I am a female instructor, but I got here
for a reason. I know my stuff, Like you're in good hands.
Baker is training four students to fly and says one of them is a minor.
It is heavy stuff. People are trusting their lives with you. I
have a seventeen year old student, so her mom is trusting her life with
me. It's really important to stay calm and just let them make mistakes.
Let's get this baby started. Certified flight instructor Giselle Gomez has been training student
pilots that first take since October. She says, although she's never been discriminated
against as the female in flight, she's seen it happen, especially being a
young female pilot. There's a lot of misconception that you're not qualified to do
what you're doing, and I definitely see that within the industry. I got
an opportunity to get into one of the cessnas with these three ladies, and
it was incredible to watch them handle the plane with absolute professionalism and confidence.
I think we're just gonna do one six right whatever the tower gives us and
we're just gonna cross taxiway Alpha to Charlie. Oh, I am my kinner
right now in her instruction, got it, Roger and I couldn't help but
laugh when I realized all three of them had perfectly polished nails. Yeah,
it's a but you guys are pink, I do. They're like pink sunglasses
on, and these ladies of the skies won't be stopping here. Gomez says
her ultimate goal is to make it to the airlines. Honestly, just trying
to enjoy every moment and my path in the sense that general aviation, being
a flight instructor maybe going tow on thirty five, maybe doing something else.
I'm just trying to enjoy the time I have now, and because once I
do end up going to the airlines, it's gonna be It's gonna be fun.
But I'm gonna look back on these moments and definitely miss them. Here
me loud and Claire, all right, break check breaks are good, all
right? Chief pilot at First Take Aviation, Edgar Kanievo says female pilots bring
different perspectives. They're great in flight and there are a lot less egos to
da We've tried to encourage so many female pilots to get in to make a
change in aviation. We know what the percentages are. There's not many,
and so we're really proud of any female plots to come through here, but
especially the ones that we have, he says. Students who have trained under
female pilots at first take have had positive experiences. All of our female pilots
do that go above and beyond from staying for their tech grides, helping them
out on the sides, on the side after their flights. Men really going
above and beyond for their students and preparing them really well. Women have been
interested in flight since the Wright Brothers gave up their bikes for planes in nineteen
oh three, and although there are more females in aviation than ever before,
women are still highly underrepresented in flight. But for these women a first take
aviation, they won't just leave behind contrails, they will leave behind an important
piece of women's history. For wake up call, I'm Chris Adler. Thank
you, Chris Adler. Love that go girls, women's history mouth good to
know. So we know that we found out about Kate Middleton that she has
cancer on Friday and I know that there was a lot of speculation about what
was going on because we hadn't seen her since she had her scheduled abdominal surgery
in January, and apparently on social media there was all kinds of speculation that
one like maybe she got plastic surgery and when it and it went terribly wrong,
or that she took off and was fleeing because Prince William was having an
affair and now she's hiding overseas, or there was one that said that there
was unexpected complications, she was in a medical coma, and then there was
even some talk that she died over Christmas and honest was being cloned. Okay,
so we know that that's not true. We know that she has cancer,
and there's also a lot of people saying now that you know what,
they really messed this one up because she didn't want to go public because it
happened in January, and now we're at the end of March and she's just
now saying so thing. So I just wanted to chime in from my experience,
obviously with no medical background in any way, shape or form, but
I will tell you that I get it because four years ago I had the
Big C and I wasn't going to tell anybody about it. In fact,
I didn't tell anybody about it. Lettie. I had the surgery in June,
and I think it was mid to late August when I decided to talk
about it. So I get that, like you're dealing with you're dealing with
surgery, you're dealing with news you don't know how. And she's got a
family. I mean, I have my family, but I don't have children,
and so she's got a lot to deal with and I'm guessing that,
you know, you have to process all of that. So I'm totally giving
her a pass on that. I don't know how they move forward with it
because it is kind of confusing because they're not saying what kind of cancer it
is. And again, is it her business or is it really everyone's business
because she's royal and the British people basically fund their lives and their lifestyles.
I guess we'll find out in the coming days, but I will tell you
the other thing that I heard is that she said she's getting chemotherapy as a
precaution, and I'm hoping that that's a good sign because I too had chemo
therapy for six months as a precaution. It was sort of my insurance to
make sure that there weren't any little nasty floating cells still in my body that
weren't detected because they did all the they removed part of my own testin,
they took out lymph nodes, They did all the testing and everything came back
clear. But my doctor said, because of the stage that it was and
where it was, they said, we really would feel better just as insurance
if you did this the chemotherapy. So I'm hoping too that that's the case.
With her not saying that it's the same kind of cancer that I had,
I don't think it probably is based on the information that we have,
But hoping that she gets better and she's feeling better and feeling stronger, and
hopefully they'll put some of these rumors to rest, because I'm quite frankly,
I'm a little bit stick of cape gait. You're listening to Wake Up Call
on demand from KFI AM six forty l a Dodger star show. Hey Otani,
we'll be talking publicly for the first time since illegal gambling and theft allegations
surfaced involving his now former interpreter, someone bought a powerball ticket in Sun Valley
and is a new millionaire. No one got the jackpot, but a ticket
sold at a seven to eleven came close, matching five of the six winning
numbers from Saturday nights drawing. That ticket is worth two point four million dollars.
El Camino Real Charter High School is when the state academic the Cathlon Way
to Go team. The team from Woodland Hills will now represent California in the
national competition in Pittsburgh next month. This is El Camino Real's third state title
in the last five years. Check out the brains on those guys. We're
just minutes away from Handle. On the news this morning, three top dogs
at Boeing incl gluting it's CEO are leaving, not exactly flying off into the
sunset. Right now, Let's say good morning to ABC's Karen Travers. Karen,
So, we have the Vice President talking a little tough when it comes
to Israel. Yeah, you know, she did an interview with my colleague
Rachel Scott, and Rachel pushed her on whether the US would consider consequences if
Israel went forward with that planned operation into Rafa, the one that the administration
says would be a big mistake, the one that Harris said in this interview
would be a huge mistake. But the Vice President said that she is ruling
out nothing in terms of consequences. She didn't say what that would be.
She said they're taking it one step at a time, but that they've been
very clear in their perspective that this should not happen. And this is a
big week because the administration is meeting with senior Israeli officials in Washington to present
what they say is a better way forward, an alternative way forward where Israel
would not have to conduct this major ground operation. The White House hasn't said
what that would look like. They're not revealing their place, but you know
by all accounts and are reporting over there Netanya, who is still full steam
ahead with this. It's just delayed while they wait to have this conversation with
the administration. And I think that's the big question then after that conversation takes
place of is this truly a red line for the White House? Will there
truly be consequences and what would that look like from the United States if Israel
does go forward with this planned operation. Okay, and well, we'll be
watching that and then right before you go, because I know you're on a
timeline, she's tap dancing around TikTok too. Yeah, yeah, you know.
She deflected on you know why they have a TikTok account for the campaign
and telling people to follow them and engage with them there. But the official
position from the administration is that they support the legislation that could lead to TikTok
being banned in the US if the Chinese owner bike Dance doesn't sell it.
And so it's a tricky balancing act that they're trying to do of engaging there,
trying to get to where people are trying to reach out to vote,
to the young voters, go to the young voters. Yeah, and she
said yesterday, you know, it allows people to share information in a free
way. It's an income generator for many people on TikTok. But she also
said they have national security concerns about the owner of TikTok. She also reiterated
they have no intention of ban TikTok. That's not the purpose of the conversation
and the legislation of it. But they're trying to, you know, force
that sale. All right. Karen Travers Thank you so much for the information.
Have a great Monday. Let's get back to some of the stories coming
out of the KFI twenty four hour news room. A seventeen year old girl
has fatally shot herself at the La County Sheriff's Industry Station. The girl went
to the station just after seven thirty last night knocked in the door. Investigators
say there was a struggle between the deputies who opened the door and the teen,
and at some point she grabbed a gun from the deputy's holster. The
Sheriff's department says the shooting may be related to an earlier family disturbance call.
Anaheim has demolished a fourth CD motel as part of a long term plan to
revitalize the cities one and a half miles of Beach Boulevard. The city's Rebuilt
Beach Plan calls for removing about half of the fifteen motels currently on the boulevard.
Anheim says the demolition of Anaheim Lodge last week and the demolition of the
neighboring motel property Covered Wagon last year will make room for affordable apartments and condos.
The city says the last year Anaheim Lodge was open resulted in almost five
hundred calls for police and one fatal shooting. Anaheim says it's been a year
and more than half a million dollars relocating twenty nine adults and ten children who
were living in eighteen motel rooms in Orange County. Core bin Carsen k if
I need. Four men have been charged in Russian in connection with the mass
shooting at a concert hall in Moscow where more than one hundred and thirty people
were killed. The men are citizens of Tajikistan. ABC's Derek Dennis says all
four are charged with terrorism. All are said to be operatives of the terror
group isis K. Analysts say isis K has grown stronger after the US withdrawal
from Afghanistan in twenty twenty one. Russian President Putin has tried to tie Ukraine
to the attack. KEEF says it was not involved. Court documents say two
of them in charged have accepted their guilt in the attack Act, but their
condition has raised questions about whether they were speaking freely. The men looked bruised
and beaten when they appeared in quarter over the weekend. One had a bandage
over one ear. Kind of a sad news out of Oakland. We had
told you this was going to happen, and In and Out permanently closed its
restaurant in Oakland this weekend. The last day of operations. I bet the
lines were long, was yesterday. The company said that crime in the area
just made it too dangerous for both its customers and its employees to continue operating.
Even though the branch was profitable, they just said it's not worth it.
And it's the first time that In and Out has had a permanent closure.
It's closed some stores apparently over the years, but this is their first
permanent closure. Very sad news. Love myself a little In and Out Join
