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 --> 00:00:14.199 demand on the iHeartRadio app k f I at kost HD two, Los Angeles, 3 00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:33.960 Orange County. Amy Kay, good morning. This is your wake up 4 00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.759 call for Tuesday, June fourth. I'm Amy King. We're live everywhere on 5 00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:42.719 the iHeartRadio app. So if you're listening on the app or you're listening at 6 00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:47.079 AMFI six forty, we are just so happy that you're here for us today. 7 00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:51.000 We got so much to get to as usual. I know it sounds 8 00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.719 cliche when we say it's really busy, but it really is busy today, 9 00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:57.079 so let's get right to it. Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. 10 00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:03.240 The LAPD has cleared out a pro Palaceinian protest encampment from the sidewalk outside City 11 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.920 Hall. About twenty tenths went up late yesterday afternoon. The LAPD declared it 12 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:12.079 a non permitted demonstration last night and cleared the tents early this morning. Cal 13 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.920 Trends is being blamed for the massive fire in November that shut down the ten 14 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.599 Freeway in downtown LA and costs thirty three million dollars to fix. Remember that, 15 00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:25.879 it says, infrequent and haphazard inspections led to conditions that led to the 16 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:27.599 fire. Our Steve gregor Is can tell us more about that in just a 17 00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:33.480 minute. A jury has been seated Testimonies expected to begin today in Hunter Biden's 18 00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:38.200 federal gun case. The twelve jurors and four alternates were selected in a Delaware 19 00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.480 federal courtroom yesterday. The President's son is accused of illegally buying and possessing a 20 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.159 gun while being addicted to drugs. In twenty eighteen, we're going to get 21 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.599 the latest on a new ceasefire deal in Israel and the discovery of four more 22 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:55.120 dead hostages with ABC's Jordana Miller in just a couple of minutes. And Joel 23 00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:00.359 Larsgard is going to tell us about a potentially financially devastating trend for homeowners facing 24 00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:06.200 sky high homeowners insurance prices at six oh five right after wake up call its 25 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:09.319 handle on the news. Apparently fire hydrants or a hot ticket item, about 26 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:14.639 one hundred of them have been stolen around LA this year. Let's get started 27 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:22.039 with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 28 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:27.800 LAPD has cleared out a camp of pro Palestinian protesters from outside City Hall. 29 00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:31.840 About twenty tents began going up yesterday afternoon at Maine and First Streets. Several 30 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:38.639 had Palestinian flags and phrases like Free Palestine and Free Gaza. Police started monitoring 31 00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:43.080 the area and by about nine thirty told people to clear out. When they 32 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.840 didn't, the department went on tactical alert. No arrests were reported overnight, 33 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:53.199 but the tent encampment has apparently been cleared. A rolling strikeover pro Palestinian protests 34 00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:58.479 has moved to more UC campuses. Members of the UAWR demanding all criminal and 35 00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.400 conduct charges be dropped against arrested students and staff. UCLA student Annie Valoria winn 36 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:07.759 It says her university is now punishing some of those protesters by refusing them access 37 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:09.639 to campus housing. It basically serves, isn't avixtra notice. If you're not 38 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:13.400 allowed to come to campus, you can't go to work and you can live 39 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:15.240 here. The strike has spread this week. Do you see Santa Barbara and 40 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.159 you see San Diego? With UCI workers expected to hit picket lines tomorrow. 41 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.439 The union, made up of researchers and teachers AID says it will strike through 42 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:28.439 June thirtieth, unless the universities meet their demands. Chris Adler KFI News A 43 00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:32.960 bill has unanimously passed the California State Assembly that would ban smartphones for students in 44 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.000 public schools. The bill claims there is growing evidence cell phones get in the 45 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.560 way of education and can lead to cyber bullying, anxiety, depression, eating 46 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.719 disorders, and suicide. The bill now heads to the state Senate for consideration. 47 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.919 The bill would allow students to use their cell phones in an emergency house. 48 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:57.639 Republicans have drilled doctor Anthony Faucher Fauci in the origins of COVID nineteen and 49 00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:02.159 the advice that led to lockdowns. Fauci was the top US infectious disease expert 50 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:08.400 until he retired in twenty twenty two. ABC's Stephen Portnoy says. Fauci insisted 51 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:13.639 yesterday that US funded research in Wuhan, China, could not have caused the 52 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:17.199 pandemic. It is molecularly impossible, stale. Fauci said he can't rule out 53 00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:20.720 the chance that COVID did leak from a lab. I have always kept an 54 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:26.000 open mind to the different possibilities, Fauci said. Allegations that he tried to 55 00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:31.120 cover up COVID nineteen's origins are simply preposterous. He also played down criticism of 56 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:36.639 his social distancing guidelines. Spotify is getting more spendy. Subscribers will pay a 57 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:43.160 dollar more a month for the ad Premium plans or AD free premium plans starting 58 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.199 this month. Other plans are going up to the Family plan has going up 59 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.560 three bucks a month. That's a twenty percent increase in two years. The 60 00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:55.639 increase comes as Spotify cuts costs through layoffs and reductions to its podcast business. 61 00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.839 Let's say good morning now to Geordana Miller with ABC. Jordana's back after some 62 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.959 well earned time off and time to accept her Gracie's Award here in La So 63 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:09.079 proud of you about that, Jordana. Thanks so much, Amy. It 64 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:14.839 was really fun to attend the ceremony and be part of the ABC team and 65 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:20.759 so many other great journalists and women who are doing really important work, you 66 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:28.000 know, across news and media and entertainment special well, and you are one 67 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.839 of them, and we appreciate you for all of your efforts. And now 68 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:35.160 you're back in Jerusalem, and a lot happened while you were gone, but 69 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:39.839 let's get right back to it. A new ceasefire deal has been put forward, 70 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.279 Is there any new movement on it? We know that Hamas hasn't responded, 71 00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:47.639 or at least that's the last we were hearing, right well, Israel 72 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:56.639 ben is waiting for Hamas's official response. They'd said that they viewed President Biden's 73 00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:02.560 remarks positively, but that doesn't necessarily mean they've reviewed and responded officially to the 74 00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:10.680 deal itself. I think the same issues that have torpedoed previous efforts to read 75 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:15.000 to reach us these fire are still on the table and there are still gaps 76 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:19.759 on. For example, when would the end of the war be declared? 77 00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:24.240 Is it in phase one? Is it in phase two? Uh? The 78 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:28.839 Israelis want the option to restart the war if talk stall or they feel Hamas 79 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:33.120 is playing games. How would that work? What is the role of Hamas 80 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:38.199 at the end of this war? Israel? The United States don't want must 81 00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:42.879 have any role in governing the Gaza Strip or obviously any military role. Hamas 82 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.879 still wants to have a foot, you know, a hand in the game 83 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.439 after this war. That's a problem. And then, of course, the 84 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:55.839 issue of the Israeli military withdrawal or redeployment. You know, are there still 85 00:06:55.879 --> 00:07:00.000 going to be troops that the along the perimeter of the Godza strip. Hamas 86 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:04.839 wanted every troop out. These are the same issues that have again torpedoed previous 87 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:10.519 efforts, and they seem to still be in this They still seem to be 88 00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:16.800 hovering above this deal. So I can't report any great optimism from Jerusalem about 89 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:24.000 this deal. Okay, and now we know that President Biden kind of surprisingly 90 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:27.079 announced, hey, we've got a new deal and it was from Israel. 91 00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:32.079 But Israel's pushing back on that a little bit. And Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke 92 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.399 publicly about the deal for the first time. What did he have to say 93 00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:43.519 specifically? That's right. President Biden emphasized in his remarks that he's looking to 94 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.759 end the war. You know, it's time to end the war and get 95 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:54.839 a permanent ceasefire. That was one of his main points. And Ntania, 96 00:07:55.000 --> 00:08:00.240 who felt the need to, you know, publicly respond and say, you 97 00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:05.000 know, we're working to get our hostages out, and you know, we 98 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:11.360 will only agree to the end of the war if Hamas has been quote unquote 99 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:16.720 eliminated, if we get our hostages out. He felt the need to say 100 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:22.680 publicly that Israel's not agreeing to end the war before its war aims are met, 101 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.120 and so, you know, pushing back a little bit on the President's 102 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:33.200 main point in his remarks on Friday. Okay, And while all of this 103 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.240 goes on, Israel says, it's discovered four more hostages are dead. What's 104 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.480 that? What's going on with that? That's right? Right? They announced 105 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:48.200 last night four hostages that the Israeli Army believes were being held together in the 106 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:54.039 Communists, that large city in Gaza South. They believe these four were killed 107 00:08:54.080 --> 00:09:01.519 some months ago, and the Israeli Army left open the option that friendly fire, 108 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:07.120 part of Israel's offenses against Hamas, may have killed these hostages. They 109 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.080 said that the circumstances of their death will raise many questions, and they're going 110 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:18.279 to look into those questions and report back to the families. So the circumstances 111 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.240 of their death, you know, remains unclear. They didn't squarely blame Hamas, 112 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:28.720 and Israel didn't also, but didn't squarely take responsibility either. Of course, 113 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:33.200 this speaks to the danger of these hostages are in day after day after 114 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.840 day, and this is part of the reason why the families of the hostages 115 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.159 have been so vocal stepping up their protests and their criticism of the government, 116 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:46.399 because they say it is a fallacy to claim that you can both pursue the 117 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:52.080 end of Hamas and the release of the hostages, because the heavy assault on 118 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.720 Hamas actually in dangers the lives of the hostages, and that may have been 119 00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:03.799 the case with these four. It leaves another eighty or so hostages that Israel 120 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:07.600 believes could be alive, forty more than forty than are now declared dead, 121 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:16.600 among them several Americans, and unfortunately it's not even clear if the eighty you 122 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.399 know that many hope are alive, are really alive. That's why I was 123 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.080 going to ask you, because aside from a video of a couple of them, 124 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.399 there has been no contact. Red Cross hasn't been allowed in. Nobody's 125 00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.600 been able to check on them. So they really don't know. They really 126 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:41.240 don't know how they're doing. You know. The only hints that Israel gets 127 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:48.039 are from well, there's two sources, one from the DKSE that they take 128 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.559 from the Gaza strips. From some of those interrogations, they learn about the 129 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:58.559 fate of the hostages. They get new intel and the other is from Hamas 130 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:03.600 itself who out videos, right, and those are signs of life when they 131 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:07.879 can try to figure out how, you know, authenticate the videos and figure 132 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:13.480 out when they may have been filmed. So, you know, it's very 133 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.320 difficult to know. You know, these are eighty hostages that are likely spread 134 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.720 out again into smaller groups across the gods Strip, and right now they're fighting 135 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:28.000 really across the Godless Strip from the north to central, to the to the 136 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.159 to Rafa. So it is a dangerous situation for those hostages. Yeah, 137 00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:39.039 okay, jor Dana Miller, thank you as always for the information and glad 138 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.679 to have you back and appreciate the information. We'll talk again soon, tox 139 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:45.879 fin All right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of 140 00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:50.559 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A new report shows Caltrans was negligent in 141 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.919 the oversight of rental properties under the ten Freeway in downtown LA. The report 142 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.840 from the California Department of Transportations Inspector General also shows Caltrans ignored warning signs in 143 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:03.320 the month leading up to that destructive fire last November, which not only shut 144 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.480 down the freeway for days, but caused thirty three million in damages. The 145 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.320 sixty plus page report outlines a number of deficiencies within Caltrans, including shoddy record 146 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:15.960 keeping and a failure to do required inspections on least properties, many of which 147 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:20.720 contained hazardous materials. Investigators say the fire under the freeway was arson, though 148 00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:26.120 no one's been arrested. Caltrans says it's implemented new oversight measures. Steve Gregory 149 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:28.120 take a fine news. A ride share driver has shot a twenty year old 150 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:31.679 man who was allegedly attacking a sixty year old woman who'd just gotten out of 151 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.519 his car. THEOC Sheriff's Department says the driver saw the woman being assaulted, 152 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.639 so he intervened Sunday night on Custer Way. He did stay at the scene 153 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:58.200 and called deputies. The man shot is in the hospital. Well apparently, 154 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:01.679 Cindy Laufer is about done having fine.

President Biden's expected to take executive action to limit asylum seekers when 164 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:50.559 the number of migrant crossings surge. The restriction would kick in once daily border 165 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.279 crossings hit twenty five hundred. We're going to be talking more about this with 166 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.000 ABC's Karen Travers coming up at the bottom of the hour. Hawaii's kill Away 167 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:03.480 a volcano is a right upting. The volcano has seen increased seismic activity for 168 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:07.559 the past month. Officials say islanders can expect to see volcanic gas that looks 169 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:13.440 kind of like fog it's called vog, and may experience earthquakes that can create 170 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:16.799 cracks in the ground and rock falls. It's the first time the volcano is 171 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.759 erupted since nineteen seventy four. The San Diego Zoo is working on its permit 172 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:26.000 to host giant pandas that will be on loan from China. The application for 173 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.519 the permit includes a million dollars in operating costs and a habitat twice the size 174 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.360 as the last one. It also requires any cubs born while the pandas are 175 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.679 here to be sent back to China when they're two to four years old. 176 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:39.120 If everything gets approved, the pandas could be headed to the San Diego Zoo 177 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:43.440 as soon as this month. At six oh five, it's handled on the 178 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:46.039 news. A jury's been seated. Now it's time for testimony in Hunter Biden's 179 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:50.519 federal firearms trial. Right now, let's say good morning to the house, 180 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:54.919 the houst the House, the houst of how to Money. How about the 181 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.080 host of How to Money? Joel Larsgard. Joel, you can call me 182 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.840 whatever you want. Amy. Oh, you're so sweet. Good, because 183 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:05.440 I'm really good at messing up people's days. Okay, So we were out 184 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:11.360 at lunch on Saturday or Sunday, and we went to this nice restaurant and 185 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:15.000 we got our bill and we gave our credit card and we came back and 186 00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.240 then the service said to us, oh, the twenty percent service charge is 187 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.960 added to your bill right there, and we went okay, and so my 188 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:28.200 friend went, well, that's the tip and didn't tip. I don't think 189 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.159 that's what it was, but I'm not sure. It's so hard to know 190 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:35.960 in this environment. And so I think what people assume is what your friend 191 00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.440 assumed at this point, that a service charge equals a tip, because it's 192 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:43.799 a service. It's a charge for the service exactly. And this is something 193 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:48.240 we've had to deal with that's proliferated in a meaningful way since COVID right and 194 00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.279 restaurants coming up with all sorts of ways. And in the beginning, we 195 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:56.279 all kind of rallied together and we bought takeout because hey, there wasn't, 196 00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:58.399 you know, much else to buy, and we couldn't go to our favorite 197 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:00.799 storts. Dude were to go, right, So it's like takeout, like 198 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:03.720 we're and it felt like we were in it with our local restaurants, wanted 199 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:07.519 to help keep them afloat. And now it feels like these some of these 200 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.480 sneaky fees, these pervasive fees, have abounded, They've come up with new 201 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:18.159 names, and now there's like an antagonistic relationship that we have with restaurants that 202 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.159 have these fees around. By the way, I'm curious, did did you 203 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:26.879 see anything that told you that this fee existed before you, like, anywhere 204 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:29.440 on the table or did anyone tell you about that before you ate? No, 205 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:33.600 and it wasn't on the bill. But when we when he brought back 206 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:37.679 the receipt, you know, for for her to sign, that's when he 207 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.440 said the service charge is on there. Wow. Okay, yeah, that 208 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:45.960 feels really bold, And honestly it's I would be willing to talk to a 209 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:48.039 manager about that, and I would ask, hey, what what is this 210 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:52.960 fee for? Why is it so why is it so opake? Why aren't 211 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:55.960 you telling you about this upfront? It's something I would be willing to push 212 00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:57.559 back. Again. It's not because I'm I'm I don't love restaurants, or 213 00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:02.200 not because I'm not interested in hipping servers, but you want that to be 214 00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:03.119 above board, and you want to know what you're getting into, and you 215 00:17:03.119 --> 00:17:06.400 want to know whether you should be tipping. On top of that. It's 216 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:10.440 also one of those things where people are increasingly revolting against restaurants who are doing 217 00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:12.359 that. I think they're saying, like, okay, cool, this is 218 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:15.039 the last time you're going to get me like that. I think for restaurants, 219 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:19.440 raise the prices on the menu and make clear ahead of time to people, 220 00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:22.200 like at least the transparency to say, hey, listen, we're charging 221 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:26.799 an extra five percent right now in our prices because this and this and this 222 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.720 one. People understand the reality of inflation, and people also understand the especially 223 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:36.160 right now in California with what's going on with wages for service workers. I 224 00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:40.440 mean, the costs are going up, and I think people are willing to 225 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:42.960 pay the increased costs as long as they don't feel blindsided by it. Yeah, 226 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:47.960 And we kind of feel bad now because we started talking about it later 227 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:51.640 and we're like, I think you stiffed him because I think that was a 228 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:56.440 service charge tacked on even though it says service charge and the server provides service. 229 00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:00.000 And there was only three of us too, like a lot of times, 230 00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:02.839 you know, on six parts party of sex, the more they automatically 231 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:04.640 add the tip. So we weren't sure. But so I guess what we 232 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:08.960 take from this is watch for it and then, like you said, you're 233 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.759 free to question it. Yeah, ask the question, and I ultimately I 234 00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:18.200 think probably all of us feel this way is why can't we function more like 235 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:22.720 Europe in this regard where servers just get paid a normal wage and we don't 236 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:25.119 have to have to think about the tipping thing. That's just a much more 237 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:29.519 ideal way to do it. So and it's I kind of like rewarding people. 238 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:33.440 I love like being super generous if we have a great server or we 239 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.440 have incredible service. It's really fun to get to do that. But man, 240 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:40.960 this all these extra like fees coming out of nowhere kind of makes it 241 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:44.240 a lot less fun. Yeah. So, speaking of prices going through the 242 00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:48.200 roof, homeowners insurance prices are going up when you can even get them, 243 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.440 and that's kind of created this disturbing new trend. Well, it's a homeowner's 244 00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:56.519 insurance market in California has a mess. Is a complete mess. It's a 245 00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.119 complete mess, and it's super sad to watch. And surance has gotten significantly 246 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:06.960 more expensive. We're talking about just twenty plus percent increases year over year and 247 00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:11.200 four and that's nationwide and in California it's worse than that for so many people. 248 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.440 And not only are insurance rates climbing rapidly, but payouts on claims are 249 00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:21.680 diminishing too, So the value proposition of homeowners insurance has declined. But it's 250 00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:25.400 also one of those things where, for the most part, most people have 251 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:27.079 to have it, right, especially if you have a mortgage, you literally 252 00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:30.440 have to have it or your mortgage company is going to say no, no, 253 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:32.400 we're going to buy that policy for you, and then we're going to 254 00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:34.599 bill you for it, and then it's really really expensive insurance policy. It's 255 00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:38.359 going to cost you more than if you had shopped for that policy yourself. 256 00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:44.400 And so the Wall Street Journal just wrote an article about the increase in people 257 00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:48.160 who are choosing to go without insurance altogether. And you're saying, well, 258 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:51.640 who is that and who can do that? Well, surprisingly, something like 259 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:55.119 forty percent of homes in this country, our own, free and clear people 260 00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:56.279 don't have a mortgage. You're like, who are these people? I don't 261 00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:00.440 know? These people who I know? But that's great, Yeah, credible, 262 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:04.519 But it's also I'm shocked every time I hear that stat because how are 263 00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:08.279 these people like own their homes completely free and clear. But a lot of 264 00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:12.839 those folks are choosing to ditch homeowners insurance completely. In twenty nineteen, only 265 00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:18.640 five percent of Americans didn't have homeowners insurance, and now it's twelve percent of 266 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:23.079 Americans who don't have any homeowners insurance. And I get why if you have 267 00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:26.519 a paidoff home you might choose to forego it. You're also putting yourself at 268 00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:32.759 incredible risk, and so you have to make sure that you are either one, 269 00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:37.039 okay if the home does something happens to the home, like a severe 270 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:40.759 destruction of the home, that you're like, hey, listen, I'm just 271 00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:42.079 not going to rebuild. It's worth the money, it's worth the savings. 272 00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:47.160 Now I can barely afford to keep the insurance. And you just have to 273 00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:49.279 make sure that you've got your ducks in a row before you decide to forego 274 00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:52.720 homeowners insurance. And if you have a mortgage, that's not even really an 275 00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:57.000 option for you. Yeah, so plan, plan, plan, and evaluate, 276 00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:02.519 and yeah, because what if you cancel your insurance and like your mortgage 277 00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:06.720 company doesn't know about it, right, How's I mean? Yeah, that'd 278 00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:10.000 be a huge problem. I have a friend who owned a home in Florida 279 00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:14.759 and there was a massive storm that came through and basically completely demolished his home, 280 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:17.440 and he didn't have homeowder insurance. And I remember him telling you that, 281 00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:18.640 and I was like, oh my gosh, well, I'm so sorry. 282 00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:22.319 But he has been a diligent saver and he owned the home free and 283 00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:26.880 clear, and so he has rebuilt it on his own time. There aren't 284 00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:29.640 many people who can do that. So the other thing to do, by 285 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:33.240 the way, as home insurance prices are going up, raise your deductible For 286 00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:37.440 normal people out there who still have a mortgage on their home. I love 287 00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:41.039 the idea of having more money in savings and then raising your deductible, which 288 00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:42.880 is going to lower that premium ount. It's going to reduce the shock of 289 00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:48.880 the outgoing homeowners insurance premium every single year. You again have to make sure 290 00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:51.559 you have the savings to back it up, because I found this out the 291 00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:53.519 hard way last year when a tree fell through my home and I had a 292 00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:56.000 really high deductible, but guess what, I had the cash on hand to 293 00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:00.599 cover it. That's one way to kind of mitigate and minimize the impact of 294 00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:04.119 rising homeowners insurance rates. It's not a fail safe, but and you have 295 00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:07.039 to make sure you have the cash on hand to pay the deductible if something 296 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:10.799 happens. But that can be a way to save a significant amount of money 297 00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:14.839 every year on that insurance. Okay. For more great money advice, you 298 00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:18.359 can listen to how to Money with Joel Larsguard right here on CAFI on Sundays 299 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:22.559 from noon to two. And next time we talk, because we didn't we 300 00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:26.640 ran out of time. But I want to talk about inflation and how we're 301 00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:29.359 kind of getting it wrong. But that's going to have to wait for another 302 00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:32.640 day. Okay, sounds good, next week, all right, Joel Larsguard, 303 00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:34.039 thank you so much for the information. Again, how to Money with 304 00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:37.799 Joel Larsguard Sunday's noon to two. You can also follow him. I'm at 305 00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:41.279 how to Money Joel. Have a great week. Thanks Amy, you too. 306 00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:45.000 All Right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of 307 00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.440 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The first excessive heat warning of the season's 308 00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:52.680 been issued for the valleys and desert areas. Temperatures are forecast to go into 309 00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:56.920 the high nineties and low one hundreds today. National Weather Service meteorologist Joe Sarad 310 00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:02.240 says it's because of an upper level of high pressure moving into southern California. 311 00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:04.000 I wo'll not to say it's early. Sometimes I do get some May heat 312 00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:08.640 waves, if you will, But this year it's been quite cool through May 313 00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:11.480 and early June so far, so it's going to be quite a shock for 314 00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:17.319 people to experience the heat building in. He says temperatures should be back to 315 00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:22.839 normal by Sunday. Show Hey. Otani's former interpreter, Ibe Mizuhara, is 316 00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:26.400 due in court in Orange County to plead guilty to federal bank fraud charges. 317 00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:32.000 He pleaded not guilty last month as a formality while he negotiated with prosecutors on 318 00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:37.720 a deal involving a wide ranging illegal sports betting investigation. Mitsahara is accused of 319 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:42.720 stealing about sixteen seventeen million dollars from Otani to cover gambling debts. Okay, 320 00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:47.319 I do also feel quite so bad now, But a lot of younger Americans 321 00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:52.960 are just passing on artificial intelligence. A New York survey shows just four percent 322 00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:56.680 of fourteen to twenty two year olds say they use it daily, fifty percent 323 00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:03.119 say they have tried AI, forty one percent say they've never used generative AI, 324 00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:07.759 and eight percent say they don't even know what AI tools are. Caltrans 325 00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:11.359 is being blamed for the massive fire in November that shut down the ten Freeway 326 00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:15.039 in downtown LA and costs thirty three million dollars to fix. A new report 327 00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.559 says caltrans ignored warning signs at the property under the freeway that was leased to 328 00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:23.400 private parties. Voters will decide today whether to recall the president of the Temecula 329 00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:29.519 Valley School District over his support of a policy that requires teachers to notify parents 330 00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:33.480 if their child asked to be identified differently from his or her birth gender. 331 00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:37.839 Supporters of the recall say the policy is forced outing for kids. Close to 332 00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:41.240 one hundred fire hydrants have been stolen in La County so far this year. 333 00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:45.640 AUTH already say thieves are selling them at metal recycling yards. At six oh 334 00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:48.400 five, TENDL on the news, and so it begins. A heat dome 335 00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:53.160 is forming over California. Our first big heat wave of this year is arriving 336 00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:57.319 right now. Let's say good morning to ABC's Karen Travers. Karen, immigration 337 00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:00.599 polling is one of the most important is choose of the twenty twenty four election. 338 00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:04.000 Yeah, And after saying for a really long time that Congress needs to 339 00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:07.799 fix the problem, President Biden appears to be ready to fix it on his 340 00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:11.160 own. Yeah. And you know, they'll still say that Congress should have 341 00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:15.640 taken a lead on this and that it would be better done through a legislative 342 00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:18.359 path. But at this point, the President and the White House is looking 343 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.880 to do something now. I should note this has not yet been announced yet 344 00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.680 for the President's schedule today. The White House is not confirming that this executive 345 00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:30.759 action is coming, but sources tell us that the President is going to is 346 00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.960 getting ready to unveil what would be his most aggressive action on immigration. He 347 00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:38.839 will sign an executive order soon that would effectively end the asylum process, shut 348 00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:44.880 down the border for asylum seekers when migrant crossings surge. The threshold that they're 349 00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:49.759 looking at is when daily illegal encounters reach twenty five hundred between ports of entry. 350 00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:53.599 Asylum Seekers at that point would be turned away, immediately sent back to 351 00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:57.880 their country of origin to wait until the daily average goes down, and once 352 00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:00.559 it does go down, they would then be able to come back and claim 353 00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:04.480 asylum. This could have an immediate impact. Say he signs this today, 354 00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:08.559 migrant crossings have been averaging thirty five one hundred a day thirty five hundred a 355 00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:12.279 day in recent weeks, so that is above that threshold. And that means 356 00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:18.240 they could put that trigger in place and shut down the border for the asylum 357 00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:21.839 process. Okay, and Karen, so you said that's if they're coming across 358 00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:25.640 illegally. Does it affect the ones who are going through the ports of entry? 359 00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:29.200 No, that would not. I'm waiting to see the exact details of 360 00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:32.759 it, but that's a great question because this is between the ports of entry 361 00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:36.079 where it is not legal to be coming through. Now this is complicated though, 362 00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:40.160 because technically the asylum process is where you come in and claim asylum. 363 00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:42.640 You can claim asylum, but they're making a distinction here, and we again, 364 00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:45.799 we don't have this yet. The executive order hasn't been released, so 365 00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:51.440 we're waiting to see what this looks like and how they're drawing that legal line 366 00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:55.119 there. Okay, And we don't know for sure, but your sources are 367 00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:59.680 saying we'll find out today. So today, hopefully we get some mayors from 368 00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:02.559 Texas is coming to the White House today for an event that is not yet 369 00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:04.640 on the President's schedule, So tuned. Okay, Well, hopefully we can 370 00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:07.880 talk to you tomorrow and get more details. Yeah, all right, Karen 371 00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.799 Travers, thank you so much for the information. Appreciate it. All right, 372 00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:14.359 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 373 00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:18.279 four hour newsroom. Opening statements are set to begin. In Hunter Biden's federal 374 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:22.799 gun case in Delaware, a jury was seated yesterday. First Lady Jill Biden 375 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:26.680 was in the courthouse for that. ABC's Stephen Portnoy says one prospective juror was 376 00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:33.160 excused because she'd read Hunter Biden's book, which may be used by prosecutors as 377 00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:36.480 evidence. Other would be jurors were sent home because they'd heard news about the 378 00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:40.119 case, including one man who knew a plea deal had dissolved last year. 379 00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:44.119 Another man was dismissed because he said he couldn't be impartial in a case involving 380 00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:47.880 gun law violations. That guy said he thinks owning a gun is a God 381 00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:52.119 given right. I think I'm going to change teams. Riverside County Sheriff Chad 382 00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:56.839 Bianco says he is all in for Donald Trump for president. In a social 383 00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:02.119 media video that's gone viral, he called out Democrats in California for going soft 384 00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:04.640 on criminals and says he has no choice but to join the other team. 385 00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:11.440 And I think it's time that instead of letting them out of jail and giving 386 00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:14.559 them alcohol and drugs and everything else, I think it's time we put a 387 00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:18.079 felon in the White House. He says he'll vote for Trump in twenty twenty 388 00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:21.920 four to make America great again. More than one and a half million people 389 00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:26.400 have viewed the video. More than fifty alleged street racers have been busted. 390 00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:30.640 In the high desert city of Atlanto, thirty seven adults and nineteen miners who 391 00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:34.519 allegedly went onto a private property for the event were arrested. Samatdardino County Sheriff's 392 00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:40.799 Corporal Sarai Evans says investigators have noticed a trend of drivers sneaking onto properties to 393 00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:45.160 hold side shows, and Victorville is trying to curtel similar meats like this, 394 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.119 like I said, due to the danger it poses to the community. Guns 395 00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:52.119 were recovered at the side show. Investigators say they were monitoring one of the 396 00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:56.119 groups at the meet up ahead of the bust. Over the weekend in Samadardino 397 00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:00.839 County, Blake Trolley k if I news Doctor Pepper just Be came more popular 398 00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:06.240 than pepsi. It's now the country's second favorite soft drink behind coke. Data 399 00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:10.599 from Beverage Digest showed the soda with twenty three flavors had a slight lead over 400 00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:14.079 pepsi last year. Doctor Pepper's been around since nineteen eighty five. It's been 401 00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:18.640 experimenting with new flavors and social media trends to gain traction. I love me 402 00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:21.799 a good dr Pepper, although I have to say I haven't had any in 403 00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:26.279 years. Okay, so, uh, have you ever just called somebody and 404 00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:30.799 not made a plan to call people? That's kind of how I do it, 405 00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:34.599 but apparently I'm doing it wrong. So as more and more people are 406 00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:40.839 more and more entrenched with texting, you're not supposed to call people without first 407 00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:48.720 making an appointment. I know. Cono's like what, so they're saying that 408 00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:53.640 it calls that are unannounced really not socially acceptable anymore. Now. I know 409 00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:57.799 that like Nick and I talk, we text all the time, but I 410 00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:02.799 think we do sort of make appointments to talk on the phone. But that's 411 00:30:02.799 --> 00:30:06.119 probably just because you're so busy. Well that and I was gonna say, 412 00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:08.039 it's just the quick hit of like hey you got a minute, as opposed 413 00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:11.319 to you, you know, because we didn't have that luxury not that many 414 00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:14.559 years ago. So I mean, well, I guess now it's been enough 415 00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:15.680 time. But it's always been that way. It's like, what are you 416 00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:18.079 up to? You got a second to talk. But I do have to 417 00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:22.119 say even I experience a certain level of anxiety when I look at the phone 418 00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:23.559 and go, I didn't know somebody was going to call me, And you 419 00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:27.000 know, twenty years ago didn't even factor in, Oh my god, I'm 420 00:30:27.000 --> 00:30:30.319 so excited somebody's calling. Now it's like, oh my god, what do 421 00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:32.920 I do? I have to answer it? So I feel you like this 422 00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:37.039 is a wild story. Well apparently it's the thing. And here's my here's 423 00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:41.000 a couple of my pet peeves. Is one. I think it's fine for 424 00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:42.960 me. It's fine if people call without telling me they're going to call first 425 00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:48.799 mm hmm. But when they call and then don't leave a message, you're 426 00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:52.200 like, wait a second, did you mean to call me? Did you 427 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:55.240 what dial me? What do you want? Do I need to call you 428 00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:57.799 back? Or was it just a high hello? So if you call me, 429 00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:00.519 please leave a message. Well, and on top of that, and 430 00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:03.400 usually most of those messages are transcribed. So even if you you know, 431 00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:07.079 people always complain about the inky means of having to check the voicemail half the 432 00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:11.480 time. You don't need to anymore because your phone carrier already transcribes it for 433 00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:14.359 you and just sends it to your phone. So okay. Well, and 434 00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:18.519 apparently apparently there are some factors that come into play on whether you can call 435 00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:23.680 unannounced or not, and that depends on the relationship best friend's family, member's 436 00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:30.799 husband's wives, that kind of thing. But it's okay to call friends and 437 00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:33.920 family without texting first, but not strangers. And I do kind of agree 438 00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.039 with that one. If it's somebody that I'm not expecting a phone call from, 439 00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:41.319 I would appreciate a heads up first, just to make sure you had 440 00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:45.000 time, you know. Yeah, all right, the new rules, I 441 00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:48.039 don't know if I can get on board with these. I might. I 442 00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:51.759 might still just call you right out of the blue. President Biden's expected to 443 00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:56.759 take executive action to limit asylum seekers when the number of migrant crossings surge. 444 00:31:57.200 --> 00:32:02.039 The executive order is expected today. It would allow border authorities to turn away 445 00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:08.839 migrants seeking asylum who crossed between legal ports of entry. A lunar lander loaded 446 00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:12.480 with rocks from the far side of the Moon is already on its way back 447 00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:15.160 to Earth. China's lunar probe just landed on the Moon's surface over the weekend. 448 00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:21.039 Before leaving, the unmanned lander planted China's flag on the surface of the 449 00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:24.200 Moon. The San Diego Zoo's working on its permit to host giant pandas, 450 00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:28.480 who will be on loan from China for the first time in five years. 451 00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:31.720 If everything's approved, the pandas could be headed to the San Diego Zoo as 452 00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:36.039 soon as this month. Ooh, I'm going to go see the pandas. 453 00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:38.680 I'm excited. We're just minutes away from handle. On the news this morning, 454 00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:44.079 doctor Fauci faced off with lawmakers who are accusing him of not telling the 455 00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:47.599 truth about COVID nineteen origins and profiting off the pandemic, among other things. 456 00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:52.920 Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim, 457 00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:57.839 hackers are everywhere, they are, they are, They're everywhere, all 458 00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:04.839 right. And Ticketmaster was one of the recent very very high profileigh profile Yes, 459 00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:08.640 yeah, well the parent company was Anyway Live Niche, which is the 460 00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:14.960 parent a Ticketmaster acknowledged that, yes, there was a breach five hundred and 461 00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:17.480 sixty million customers, not just in this country but around the world. Clearly 462 00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:22.839 the little five hundred and sixty million pieces of data out there that was leaked 463 00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:28.519 out in this breach. But at the same time or around the same time, 464 00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:30.160 a bank called Santander. I don't know if you have those there, 465 00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:35.000 but Santander announced that it too had a bridge. What do they have in 466 00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:39.240 common? They're a cloud hosting company called Snowflake. I think the thinking is 467 00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:45.519 that perhaps the hackers got into both Live Nation Ticketmaster and into Santander through some 468 00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:52.160 you know, vulnerability at Snowflake, and so that's where this all is going. 469 00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:54.960 But I was surprised this whole underground economy. You know Facebook. You've 470 00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:58.759 probably used Facebook Marketplace to sell something, right or you've seen it there at 471 00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:01.000 least, I mean friend of uses it all the time. Yeah, I've 472 00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:04.759 used it, sold a car on there in fact once. But instead of 473 00:34:04.799 --> 00:34:09.440 selling lawn tools or a car or a washing machine, folks go on to 474 00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:15.519 places like Exploit is the name of one of another one called breach forums. 475 00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:20.840 These are sort of like dark web platforms where people go and sell items and 476 00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:24.280 bid on items and purchase and you know, it's really a shady kind of 477 00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:28.639 business anyway. So as somebody went on there, they opened up a new 478 00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:32.840 account on exploit and they said, I've got one point three terabytes of Ticketmaster 479 00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:37.320 data, including five hundred and sixty million people's information. So we assume that 480 00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:42.519 those are the actual hackers who got into Ticketmaster. They for those names, 481 00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:47.039 addresses, email, some credit card details. These hackers wanted five hundred thousand 482 00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:51.440 dollars for that whole database. Don't know if they actually sold it, but 483 00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:54.519 it was up for sale. So hacking more and more, not just for 484 00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:59.519 the sake of hacking and causing laos, but because there's a big money in 485 00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:00.960 it. Yeah, yeah, there is. There's that profit motive out there 486 00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:07.000 to doing this, and you know clearly what happens then once that data is 487 00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:09.480 sold, once your credit card information is sold, your name, your your 488 00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:15.199 birthday, people can piece it together and start opening up accounts in your name, 489 00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:16.920 credit card accounts, and who knows what they're buying, you know, 490 00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:22.400 and the concern or maybe the suspicion, perhaps it's even certain that there are 491 00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:27.119 terrorist groups that are using your data to buy weapons and whatnot. So it's 492 00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:30.760 it's scary stuff and it's pretty widespread. So what do you do. Let's 493 00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:35.000 say you bought that next question. Yeah, so you bought tickets to something 494 00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:38.599 from Ticketmaster in the last few months, which I have. Okay, go 495 00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:42.639 in there whatever, whether it was the app or there, the website, 496 00:35:42.679 --> 00:35:45.559 whatever, you probably had to open a littleccount there to make the purchase. 497 00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:50.639 Change the password to that today. Go in there the next commercial break and 498 00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:53.360 change the password to that. Right, check your credit card account, check 499 00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:58.960 your statement, whatever credit card you use to make those purchases. Watch for 500 00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:01.960 anything fishy. Get in touch with your credit card. If you think that 501 00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:07.239 your data was lost there, then contact the credit card company and you know, 502 00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:09.079 try to get a new account open or a new card sent to you. 503 00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:12.480 You got to try to avoid the old ones so you don't lose anything. 504 00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:16.159 I just memorize this credit cards number, okay, memorial. Wow, 505 00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:19.679 you mustn't use that thing a lot. I know I use it too much. 506 00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:22.360 Okay. So you're talking about things that have been hacked, so like 507 00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:25.760 in this one, it sounds like they got everything, because a lot of 508 00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:28.840 times we hear about a hack and they go, oh, they got your 509 00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:32.239 name and they got your phone number, but they didn't get credit card information 510 00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:36.559 or social security numbers. Well, in this case, they got some credit 511 00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:39.480 card details, at least according to the people who posted this on exploit. 512 00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:44.159 They said, we had we have some credit card details, maybe the last 513 00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:49.039 four digits. Who knows uh? Information on ticket sales, you know, 514 00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:52.559 the orders that you place through Ticketmaster. But hackers are really wily, and 515 00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:57.719 they have all sorts of technology at their disposal that a lot of people have, 516 00:36:57.880 --> 00:37:00.920 right, so they can start generating numbers. If they have the last 517 00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:05.360 four of your credit card, they can start spinning out literally trillions of possible 518 00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:10.119 numbers to go with those last four numbers, right and anyway, once they 519 00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:15.239 piece together all this information and build a profile of you, then they can 520 00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:19.320 go out in your name and with your data and crime in all sorts of 521 00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:23.559 mayhem. Here's my big question, Jim, why would a company name itself 522 00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:29.440 snowflakes? Nothing? There's no good connotation with snowflake. Well, it's like, 523 00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:32.400 are they running out of names? We haven't had a good name for 524 00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:36.239 a car in a long time, right, I mean they're all numbers and 525 00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:38.840 letters now jumbled together. They don't mean anything. It's not like a Jaguar 526 00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:44.800 or a same with drugs I've noticed that the more drugs that are put on 527 00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:47.960 the market, the weirder the names become. Well, gov we're govy ling 528 00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:52.840 virik licks. You know, they seem to just be throwing letters in a 529 00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:54.679 hat, pulling them out and say, oh, here's what we're going to 530 00:37:54.760 --> 00:38:00.920 call our new irrectile dysfunction drug. All right. So the lesson we learn 531 00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:02.400 out of this is if you have a ticket Master account, check your credit 532 00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:06.920 card and probably change that password right now, and then, you know, 533 00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:08.800 just keep an eye on stuff. Yeah, And unfortunately this may just be 534 00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:14.280 the tip of the eyes and Snowflake has all sorts of clients, including MasterCard. 535 00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:17.400 So oh I got one of those two. Yeah, keep an eye 536 00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:22.239 on it. Just keep change all your passwords or just try to stay ahead 537 00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:24.719 of it as best you can. That's the other thing that you know, 538 00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:29.280 they say, don't use things that you know. I mean, obviously don't 539 00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:30.440 use one, two, three, four, five, but like, don't 540 00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:35.960 use things you know. But you've got so many passwords. I've got fifty 541 00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:40.119 sixty seventy different passwords. I don't know how you're supposed to remember them. 542 00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:44.760 If you're not supposed to one write them down or use something familiar. Well, 543 00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:49.159 you can use a password generator and a password wallet in your phone or 544 00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:52.280 you know, in your on your laptoping and computer, and it will generate 545 00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:54.840 a new password and put that in. You know, it won't make any 546 00:38:54.840 --> 00:38:59.159 sense to you. Don't bother trying to memorize it. As long as your 547 00:38:59.559 --> 00:39:02.800 your phone or your laptop can remember it, then great, You're in good 548 00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:06.400 shape there. All right, I guess I'm gonna have to look into that 549 00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:08.239 now. More digits the better. Okay, thank you, Jim Ryan, 550 00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:12.079 all right, talk to you soon. Let's get back to some of the 551 00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:15.199 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The La County Board 552 00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:19.199 of Supervisors will vote on whether to ask the state for more help with black 553 00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:23.119 bear encounters in the San Gabriel Mountains. Supervisor Catherine Barger says communities like Siera 554 00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:28.440 Mantre I've seen more bears than usual in recent years, sometimes in people's homes. 555 00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:32.000 The bears are going to be looking for trash because they want to feed 556 00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:38.239 themselves, so it's important to keep the public who live and visit these foothill 557 00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:44.239 communities safe. Barger says the state is better equipped to educate and protect the 558 00:39:44.280 --> 00:39:49.280 public and could also assist local police in answering bear related calls. LA County 559 00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:52.280 buildings in Downey have raised the Pride flag despite the city voting against it. 560 00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:55.719 The city Council in Downey weeks ago voted to stop putting a Pride flag at 561 00:39:55.760 --> 00:40:00.440 city Hall. Mayor Mario Trujillo, who's openly gay, joined officials yesterday at 562 00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:05.719 the County Office of Education to raise the flags elsewhere. So today I want 563 00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:13.039 every kid in Dawn to know, yeah, you're safe. County Supervisor Jennis 564 00:40:13.079 --> 00:40:15.840 Han organized the Pride flag event. She says all eight of the county's buildings 565 00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:20.880 and facilities in the city would have rainbow flags waving above them. Michael Monks 566 00:40:20.960 --> 00:40:25.559 KFI News. Today is National Cheese Day. The magic of making cheese is 567 00:40:25.559 --> 00:40:30.880 thought to have started somewhere around eight thousand BC, shortly after the domestication of 568 00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:36.559 animals, and now there are thousands of different types of cheeses. Thank goodness. 569 00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:40.320 I love cheese. The most popular of all mozzarella, though half of 570 00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:45.559 all cheese consumed in the world is Gudha. I think most all cheeses are 571 00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:52.239 Gouda. I know, yeah, okay. This is KFI and kost HD 572 00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:58.079 two Los Angeles, Orange County.
