WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:05.280 You're listening to kf I AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King 2 00:00:05.559 --> 00:00:12.560 on demand on the iHeartRadio apps. It's time for your morning wake up call. 3 00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:25.039 Here's any King. This is your wake up call for Tuesday, August 4 00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:30.800 twenty second. Good morning, I'm Amy King. Is everybody all dried out 5 00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:35.880 now? They had some problems mainly in the ie, but we're back to 6 00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:41.520 sunny skies and after like a day of not having sunshine yesterday, I was 7 00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.719 like, oh gosh, it's so nice to see the sun again. We're 8 00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:48.759 so spoiled here, it's crazy. Here's what's the head on the wake up 9 00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:52.359 call. A new poll suggests about two out of three people in the US 10 00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:58.240 support the Writers and Actors strikes. Eighteen percent say they're against him. The 11 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.359 writers have been on strike for more than three and a half months. Students 12 00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:06.359 in LA and several other school districts are headed back to school today after classes 13 00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:11.599 were canceled yesterday because of Tropical Storm Hillary. Former President Trump says he will 14 00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:17.680 head to Atlanta Thursday to surrender to Fulton County authorities in his Georgia election interference 15 00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:22.480 case. His bial's been set at two hundred thousand dollars. Let's get started 16 00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:25.640 today with some of the stories coming out of the twenty four hour Ki FI 17 00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:27.879 newsroom. Got your coffee, You're ready, Here we go. More than 18 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:33.599 two hundred patients have been impacted by a power outage at White Memorial Hospital in 19 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:37.519 Boil Heights. Most had to be moved to another building overnight. Our fire 20 00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:42.560 fire peramedics going Florida floor and extracting those patients from those top floors and moving 21 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.959 them down the stairs and then out to waiting ambules. This fire Captain Cody 22 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:51.560 wire eater It tells NBC four. Twenty one critical patients were moved to other 23 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:56.280 hospitals, most of them were on ventilators. A large tree has fallen onto 24 00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:00.560 an elderly couple's home in Sierra Madre during the storm. The tree crashed into 25 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:02.840 the roof, causing holes in the house and leaks from the storm. This 26 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:07.239 next door neighbor says there wasn't much wind when the tree came down, just 27 00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.080 lots of rain. I think it was just water weight on the tree, 28 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:14.479 and the tree kind of had a cool like a lean to it, which 29 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.560 made it really pretty. But I think the extra weight from the lean just 30 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.080 was too much. Friends say the fire department helped pull the couple out of 31 00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.719 the house yesterday and into the home of a neighbor. City officials say the 32 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:30.680 tree cleanup will be the responsibility of the homeowners. Chris Adler KFI News. 33 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:38.039 The Dodgers say the video showing the stadium surrounded by water during Hillary is an 34 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:43.280 illusion. They say footage is just showing a wet parking lot, but it 35 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.639 made it look like there was a big moat around the ballpark. Trucks for 36 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:51.520 the K pop group Black Pink are already in the parking lot setting up for 37 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:55.479 a performance on Saturday. That's more. Shaking in the Southland looks like another 38 00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:01.680 aftershock from the five point one quake in Ohi on Monday? Actually, was 39 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:08.280 is it on Monday? What is today? It's Tuesday. It looks like 40 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:15.159 we have a four point aftershock near Ohi. The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department 41 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:20.520 says the man who killed a shop owner near Lake Arrowhood Lake Arrowhead had a 42 00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:25.759 history of making social media posts critical of the LGBTQ community. Kagucci also reposted 43 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:36.080 videos associated with anti law enforcement contact excuse Me content. Sheriff's spokeswoman Maura Rodriguez 44 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:43.039 says Travis Ikagachi is a local in Cedar Glen. He allegedly killed Laura and 45 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.639 Carlton Friday when she confronted him for pulling down a Pride flag outside her store. 46 00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:52.759 He allegedly yelled homophobic slurs at Carlton before he shot her. The man 47 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.240 was later killed in a shootout with sheriff's deputies. They say the nine millimeter 48 00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:01.599 semi automatic handgun he had was not registered to him. A couple of nineteen 49 00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:05.280 year olds have pleaded not guilty to charges related to a crime spree in the 50 00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:11.319 San Gabriel Valley that included an elderly woman being dragged in Hacienda Heights. She 51 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.479 was outside a bank last week when a guy grabbed her purse and tried to 52 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.759 run off with it, dragging her as he went. The Archdiocese of San 53 00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:23.759 Francisco has filed for bankruptcy amid more than five hundred sex abuse lawsuits, some 54 00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:29.879 of them dating back decades. Victim attorney Joe George Junior says the filing yesterday 55 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.959 is away for the diocese to avoid responsibility. This is another way for the 56 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:40.079 diocese to avoid responsibility. And do the right thing by survivors. He says 57 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:44.199 the diocese is trying to shield its money from survivors. The diocese says it 58 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.639 doesn't have the financial means or ability to handle all the abuse claims on its 59 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:53.920 own, so bankruptcy was the best solution to provide fair compensation. Rescuers in 60 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:58.279 Pakistan trying to freeze six kids and two men in a cable car that's dangling 61 00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.319 hundreds of feet in the air in a remote area. Army commandos are seen 62 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:06.680 trying to lower themselves on ropes from helicopters, and expert says the rescue is 63 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:13.720 incredibly delicate because the wind created by the helicopters blades could weaken the cables holding 64 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:19.120 the car even more. The All Star team from El Sagundo will play a 65 00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:24.839 must win game today in the Little League World Series. El Segundo lost three 66 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:29.199 to one yesterday to the All Star team from Needville, Texas that put them 67 00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:33.439 in the elimination bracket of the Modified Double Elimination Tournament. Let's now say good 68 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:38.680 morning to Joel lars Guard. He's the host of How To Money on KFI 69 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:42.120 Sundays noon to two. Joel, happy to have you up and about with 70 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:44.879 us this morning. Glad to be here with you. Amy. Hey, 71 00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:46.839 I gotta tell you that this is the first time you and I are actually 72 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:51.199 talking. But I've listened to your show and I have to say I love 73 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:56.439 it because a lot of financial stuff goes over my head. I just I'm 74 00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.439 not good with it, and you talk to me in a way that I 75 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:03.879 understand. So thank you for that. Let's talk about something that that all 76 00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:08.439 of us are probably going to have at one point or another unless you live 77 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.399 in New York. And that's a car, and they're not cheap, and 78 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:15.279 they're getting more and more expensive. Yeah, that's so true. And the 79 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:21.240 pandemic certainly changed the car market, and it made cars new and used go 80 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:25.279 skyrocket and value. And there were people who were like, wait a second, 81 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:29.600 it's my car actually appreciating, which never happens in a normal world. 82 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.120 But the pandemic world was kind of upside down. And so I was just 83 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.560 hanging out with a friend the other day and he had his car, he 84 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:38.279 said, his car for thirteen years. He bought it brand new. It's 85 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.000 a Hyundai, a small, tiny, little Hunday, and he paid thirteen 86 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:45.319 thousand dollars for it, and now you can't get a new car for less 87 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:49.199 than twenty And in fact, the last sub twenty thousand dollars new car just 88 00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:54.680 bit the dust, the Mitsubishi Mirage. And so it's not like people were 89 00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:59.199 actually buying sub twenty thousand dollars new cars anyway. But the average price of 90 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.439 a new car nouse is closed. It's nearing fifty grand, and so it's 91 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:06.800 just a scary time to be buying a new car. So are they used 92 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:13.680 cars still way up there in value? I remember during when the shortages and 93 00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.199 stuff during the pandemic, they were just skyrocketing and hard to get. Is 94 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:20.319 that still happening or is that kind of played out? Yeah, so we're 95 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:25.879 starting to see more kind of supply come back into balance with demands, but 96 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:31.319 we prices remain elevated. So I think the average cost of a used vehicles 97 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:36.000 now twenty seven thousand dollars. So not only are there no new cars sub 98 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:41.399 twenty k, we're also talking about people paying on average close to thirty thousand 99 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:45.480 dollars. And it's hard to find a good used car for less than twenty 100 00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.839 And I found this out the hard way. I got rear ended in our 101 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:55.920 old school Honda Odyssey minivan we had to upgrade, and exactly, I mean 102 00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:59.199 the swagger wagon. It makes a thirty nine year old dad feel cool, 103 00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.000 right, But this is one of those things it's hard to find a good 104 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.720 use car at a reasonable price, and especially with interest rates having gone up 105 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:11.439 substantially too, if you're financing that thing, not only is the price higher, 106 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.160 but then those monthly payments are higher as That's why it's really really important 107 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.879 for consumers to shop well and also save up as much as they can to 108 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.439 put down towards the price of the car. Ideally, I would love for 109 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.560 people to be able to pay in cash, but how likely is that. 110 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:31.360 It depends on your specific financial situation, of course, and I know that 111 00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:37.080 it's easier said than done. But I think sometimes our desires, the things 112 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.480 that we want out of a car, maybe we could tone those back a 113 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:41.960 little bit, find a way. And I talked with Bill about this last 114 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:46.600 week. Bill handle, how there are car loans are getting longer and longer, 115 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:48.519 and so what people are doing, Yeah, so what they're doing is 116 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.960 they're signing up for a longer payback period, but then they're upside down in 117 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.720 the car longer let's say they get in an accident god forbid, or then 118 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.000 they have to they trade it in to try to get something newer because they 119 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.480 get tired of that ride. Well, then they're rolling that car loan into 120 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:07.639 another one. Then they're upside down for forever, and it just creates this 121 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.440 cascading effect that's really bad for your personal finances. So, I mean, 122 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:13.200 when I look at this stuff, I want people to look at cheaper used 123 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.279 cars. And the reality is when you look at the what Consumer Reports says 124 00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.679 about the average price of repair of some of these used cars. Unless we're 125 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.080 talking about like land Rovers, which are perpetually in the shop, a lot 126 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.080 of these cars you can get and we're talking about a five year old car 127 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:31.200 maybe something like four hundred dollars average maintenance costs in a year, and a 128 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:35.320 ten year old used car something like eight hundred dollars a year in average in 129 00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:37.840 average maintenance costs. And so that is a better way to go for most 130 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:43.200 people a slightly older used car. And it's not like I think people assume, 131 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:45.559 oh, it's gonna I'm gonna be in the mechanic shop every other week, 132 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:50.039 But that's not necessarily the case. And so you're just saying, pass 133 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:54.600 up on the bells and whistles, get a car that's more affordable, because 134 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.000 if you, like you said, fifty thousand dollars. And so, how 135 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.200 long are those loans being stretched out these days? Because it used to be 136 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.360 that, like a five year loan was pretty standard. Sure, yeah, 137 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.799 and I that's even longer than I want people to take on. But now 138 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:13.000 seven years is starting to become more normalized, and you can even get longer 139 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.639 car loans than that. And so I think if it exceeds your ability to 140 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.360 afford the car, if you're taking on a I think forty eight months is 141 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.919 the limit. If you're going to take out a car loan and you can't 142 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.080 afford the payments at a forty eight month clip, then it's time to look 143 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.600 for something cheaper. And so if you're stretching out those payments to be able 144 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.279 to just make it work on a monthly, ongoing basis, that's when you 145 00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.399 get into trouble. Okay, all right, let's move on to credit cards 146 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:45.960 and restaurants, because there's something sneaky going on. Yeah, So there was 147 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.840 an interesting article in the La Times just a couple of weeks ago about these 148 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:54.600 annoying, and they're annoying, but they're actually kind of deceptive and underhanded at 149 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.240 restaurants, these additional fees that are being added to people's bills, and kind 150 00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.200 of during the heart of the pandemic, we all kind of rallied around our 151 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:05.919 local restaurants, right we knew they were struggling. We were getting take out, 152 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:11.320 doing whatever it took to keep our favorite spots alive. And there were 153 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.960 certain search charges that were added to the bill that we understood. We're like, 154 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:16.519 okay, we get it. That's a part of doing business right now 155 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.639 in the current time period. But a lot of those annoying, pesky, 156 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.759 sometimes deceptive charges have stuck around and people are getting tired of them. And 157 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.799 so when you when you talk to people about what they're they're ready to like 158 00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.200 not go back to a restaurant that has some sort of sneaky ten, fifteen, 159 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:37.960 eighteen percent searcharge sometimes at the end of the bill, and patrons are 160 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:39.840 confused too, They're saying, wait, is this My tip is that does 161 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.759 this go to the server? Oftentimes it doesn't, and so you think maybe 162 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:48.919 you leave without tipping because you thought that that eighteen percent service charge was gratuity, 163 00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.039 but it's not. And so I think it's time for restaurants to change 164 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.360 their pricing structure back to something more normal. Raise the prices and then make 165 00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:00.799 it clear to people what they're actually paying for, as opposed to getting a 166 00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:05.480 random charge at the end of the meal. Can you dispute the random charge? 167 00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:09.320 I think it's worth asking a manager saying, hey, what am I 168 00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:11.399 paying for here? Hey, why wasn't I notified about this ahead of time? 169 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:15.399 And you know, be kind, but push back and say listen, 170 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:16.799 like, we love this place, and we would love we want to keep 171 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:22.399 coming back. But unless I'm notified ahead of time, this seems pretty underhanded. 172 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:24.360 And so that's something I would definitely bring to their attention. Say so, 173 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.840 check the bill next time you go to a restaurant, because you never 174 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.639 know what they're adding. Also, unused gift cards real quick, what's going 175 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.799 on with those? Because I know it's seven months after Christmas and I think 176 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.519 I still have a couple. That was a great time right middle of the 177 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:45.559 year to check and see, wait a second, where did I stash those 178 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.039 gift card presents that I got for Christmas? And a lot of people something 179 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:52.879 like forty seven percent of US adults have a gift card languishing, whether it's 180 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.159 in their wallet, their purse, or in their underwear drawer. Right wherever 181 00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:00.720 you keep your gift cards, there's one somewhere that you haven't used. And 182 00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:01.840 I just, yeah, I think it's a good time to bring that up. 183 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:07.480 This was a recent bank rate survey in fact, And that's money that 184 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.840 you can spend at restaurants, retailers, whatever, but it often gets forgotten 185 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:13.279 about. And so I want people to go out there to gather them all 186 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:18.440 together, plan your date nights around where you have gift cards to right and 187 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.159 start start using that money or one other thing. If you're like I don't 188 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.039 even shop at this retailer, I don't know why somebody got me this gift 189 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:28.600 card to begin with. Cardcash dot com is a place where you can sell 190 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.840 that gift card for real US dollars, which you're not going to get dollar 191 00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.360 for dollar, but it's a really good way for you at least get something 192 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.720 for that gift card that might otherwise just kind of continue languishing. Or if 193 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.320 it's a gift card for a store, you could buy someone else a present 194 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:48.200 for this year with it. Yes, that's another good that's another good option. 195 00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:50.440 And just one other thing on the gift card front. I don't think 196 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.639 they make great gifts, and I want people to instead consider giving cash with 197 00:13:54.679 --> 00:14:00.679 a thoughtful note. Because of this problem, this mass some amount of gift 198 00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:05.080 cards that goes unused. Instead give cash and write a thoughtful gift and say, 199 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:05.559 hey, I know you were looking at this or this, or I 200 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:07.399 know this is your favorite store, but I wanted you to be able to 201 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:13.759 buy whatever you wanted. Because we're training greenbacks that can be used anywhere in 202 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:20.480 the world for only being able to spend that money at a specific store retailer. 203 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:22.399 And it really seems silly when you think about it like that, but 204 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.039 we do it because we think it's a thoughtful gift. But I don't think 205 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:28.639 it has to be thoughtless to give cash. I want to bring that back 206 00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:31.320 and make it cool again. And that is how to Money with Joel Laskard. 207 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:37.200 You can catch him Sundays on KFI noon to two and on Instagram at 208 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:39.679 how to Money Joel. Thanks so much, Joel, thanks for having me 209 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.960 Amy. A ninth bus full of asylum seekers has arrived in LA from Texas. 210 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:48.759 Thirty seven people were on Board officials say many of them have relatives or 211 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:52.639 friends in the area. At six o five, it's handle on the news. 212 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.320 Former President Trump says he will surrender at a jail in Atlanta Thursday. 213 00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:01.919 Right now, let's say good morning to ABC News correspondent Tom Rivers. Tom, 214 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:05.279 things are getting pretty scary, at least the words are getting scary. 215 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.799 North Korea making moves to escalate things between the North and well pretty much everybody 216 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:15.159 else. What's going on exactly, And we've been here many many times before, 217 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.240 but as you point out, a rhetoric is just getting a bit hotter 218 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.279 this time around a lot of moving parts. Let's let's look at it. 219 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:28.360 We have the annual South Korean US and others ancillaries involved as well, UN 220 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:31.960 forces, Britain, Greece, Italy, fill in the blank. Those are 221 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.360 going on. North Korea never likes that, but North Korea through its wire 222 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:41.919 service as those particular exercises are much larger in scale and involving things like a 223 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:48.519 nuclear carrier, a nuclear sub B fifty two's B one bomber, etc. 224 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.080 So they're they're they're concerned, worried about that. Also, they're trying to 225 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:56.320 connect dots, they say the big meeting at Camp David on Friday between Japan, 226 00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:03.840 South Korea, and US leadership points towards some kind of a ZA offensive 227 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:08.320 action against North Korea. So they are strengthening their rhetoric. They're saying, 228 00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:14.159 look, this could be a nuclear confrontation that goes beyond the neighborhood, so 229 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:17.480 to speak. So, yes, you're absolutely right, it's it's worrying, 230 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.679 and they're absolutely there's absolutely no dialogue going on with this administration and Pyongyang as 231 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:26.320 we saw under President Trump. So we are where we are right now. 232 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:30.240 And yeah, it's it's a tense world. It's just gotten a bit tenser. 233 00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:37.039 Okay. And are the demonstrations act or the drills actually larger than they 234 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:41.240 have been in the pastor is that just North Chris saying they are. No, 235 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.960 they are larger this time around. So they are factually correct on that 236 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.559 one. But again they've always hated these things. We've seen back going back 237 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:55.600 about ten years ago. Occasionally some moves to try to develop a dialogue. 238 00:16:55.879 --> 00:17:02.519 The exercises were scaled back, some of the on ground drills were turned into 239 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:07.039 simulations, et cetera, et cetera. Not the case right now, okay, 240 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:11.079 And North Korea is as you mentioned, saying that the meeting between South 241 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:15.359 Korea, Japan, and the US increases the possibility of nuclear war. I 242 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:19.240 mean Kim Jong who isn't stupid. He knows that that would be the destruction 243 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:25.400 of his of his country exactly exactly. But again we're talking about nuclear weapons, 244 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:27.720 and you know, if he gets hit, he says he's going to 245 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:32.599 take out those around him. So yes, it is very very serious. 246 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:37.880 And you know, in a different context talking about you know, the nuclear 247 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.359 threat over Ukraine, if that, if that has ever touched off, there 248 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:45.559 are no winners in that. So yes, it is, it is. 249 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:49.720 It is more than just you know, play ground bullying, very very serious 250 00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:56.000 implications indeed, and as the US responded at all yet or they're just not 251 00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:59.759 not this time,'re not doing anything this time. Again, we may 252 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.160 get word from the State Department or the Pentagon later on, but no, 253 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.319 nothing immediate. Okay, we'll watch that closely. Thank you so much for 254 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:10.519 your time this morning, Tom, We'll talk to you again soon. Let's 255 00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:12.079 get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour 256 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:17.200 news room.

Right now, let's say good morning to Tucker O'Neill and Wes 290 00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:48.240 Brumbaugh. Good morning Tucker and Wes. Okay, so we got two men 291 00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:51.480 who decided to take a hike. They hit the road. They walked forty 292 00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:56.039 one miles around La in one day. Guys, first of all, tell 293 00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:00.240 me why you did this. Yeah, well, I mean I moved to 294 00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:04.000 La a couple of years ago, and I found myself a little frustrated with 295 00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:07.680 how hard it was to get around and how hard it was to walk around 296 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.359 the city. So I thought about, you know, taking the challenge of 297 00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:14.680 walking a host city in a day, and asked my friends, you know, 298 00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:15.680 who would be willing to come with me? And West said yes, 299 00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:18.960 and we took it from there. Okay, So in your daily life, 300 00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:22.880 Tucker, you're a video editor and Wes is a comedy show producer, and 301 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.880 you guys have been friends for a really long time. Yeah right, we've 302 00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:33.160 been twenty years. Yeah, twenty years first grade. Okay, So tell 303 00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:37.839 me where where did you go on your journey? Yeah? So we've done 304 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:42.359 it twice now. Actually, so the first time we started off in Pasadena 305 00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:48.359 and made our way through the east side into downtown and then over to Santa 306 00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:52.079 Monica. And the most recent trip we took, we started off in Santa 307 00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:56.480 Monica this time, went down to Marina del Rey and then across the city 308 00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:03.160 through Kennethon Downtown again up around Dodger Stadium, and then we finished in Kenneth 309 00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:07.759 Hunt. And you did this all in one day? Yes, very ill 310 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.319 advised trip, but yes, you did all in one day. And it 311 00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:15.400 was about forty one miles and took us about fifteen and a half hours. 312 00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:18.839 Yeah, okay. And did you goes pretty much straight through and just power 313 00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:22.359 through or did you stop along the way? What was it like? Yeah? 314 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.279 I mean you want to you want to get as much my lunch in 315 00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:27.480 as possible, so you don't really want to stop too much. But also 316 00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:30.480 you need to give yourself like a little break. So we had stopped for 317 00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:36.000 lunch and stopped anytime we were in too much pain to you know, have 318 00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:38.440 to take five minutes and then just kind of power through it and tried to 319 00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.319 do it as quickly as possible, and we'd kind of push each other, 320 00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:45.480 you know, to keep going. And I think that's the only way to 321 00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:48.160 do it. Okay, what was your favorite part? What was the coolest 322 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:55.920 thing you saw along the way? I mean, oh, go ahead, 323 00:22:55.920 --> 00:23:00.599 West, go ahead. Well I was I'd actually never been to Kenneth or 324 00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:04.680 Griffith Observatory, which is where we ended our trip, and so that was 325 00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:07.480 a highlight for me. Also meant no more walking, so that was an 326 00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:11.319 added bonus. Okay, I gotta ask you about that because you started in 327 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.240 Santa Monica this time and you ended at the Griffith Park Observatory. It's quite 328 00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:18.279 a hike to get up there, and you put that on the last leg 329 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:25.559 of the trip. Yeah, why not another terrible idea of a Yeah, 330 00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:29.480 okay, what was the worst part aside from the pace? The middle? 331 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:33.880 The middle is usually the worst, right before lunch. I think West would 332 00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.400 agree. Both times right before lunch, when you're hungry and you're not even 333 00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:41.279 halfway yet, that's the worst, okay. And then as you're walking around, 334 00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.440 did you get into were you in nice areas, sketchy areas, kind 335 00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:48.039 of a little bit of everything? Yeah, certainly a bit of both. 336 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:52.200 I mean, as we're in Santa Monica and walking through Marino Way, where 337 00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:57.599 there were some you know, definitely more affluent areas, and then some areas 338 00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:02.640 are just a little bit more industrial and you know, not particularly well taken 339 00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:06.799 care of, but you know the whole, it adds to the experience on 340 00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:10.359 the whole, seeing both sides of that carn Okay, So when you guys 341 00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:12.200 normally go out on a walk, do you do like a ten mile walk? 342 00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:18.519 And just decided, yeah, well, West walks every day. I 343 00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:22.079 used to. I lived in Seattle, and so I did a lot of 344 00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:26.799 hiking back then. But I mean, yeah, just trying to walk as 345 00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.400 much as possible, even if it's just to the grocery store down the street, 346 00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:33.759 trying to do that as much. But yeah, definitely three mile walks 347 00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:37.440 were unusual to us for sure, Okay. And was there a goal in 348 00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:41.839 mind? Was it just to answer the question is La walkable or were you 349 00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:47.759 raising money for charity or just doing it to do it. I was just 350 00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:49.039 doing it to do it. I mean my friend said he was going to 351 00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:52.680 do something times, so I said, I better not let him do it 352 00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:59.799 alone. True friend, And I really don't. I mean, that's for 353 00:24:59.880 --> 00:25:02.599 the question, is La walkable? It's a pretty easy answer, and I 354 00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:07.440 don't think it'll come as a surprise. No, it's not. Why is 355 00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.680 it not walkable? Like? What did you run into? And there's just 356 00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.839 so many parts of the city that are, you know, just not friendly 357 00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:19.799 to pedestrians. We'd be on a sidewalk in an end on one intersection, 358 00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:23.119 you have to cross the street to the other side, and just a lot 359 00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:26.440 of the city isn't really activated. There's just not a lot of people out, 360 00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:30.480 so you know, you can walk it. And I think we showed 361 00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:34.200 that anyone could walk from point A to point B. But is it enjoyable 362 00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:38.680 or practical to walk across you know, I think it depends on where you 363 00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:41.480 are, but across the whole thing not not quite. Okay, you're going 364 00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:45.640 to do it again. We actually are going to do it again. We 365 00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:49.200 have one plan for this weekend and this time we're actually gonna go through San 366 00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:52.720 Diego, so we'll be starting into the border and then heading up through San 367 00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:57.039 Diego and ending in La Joya, and then we're hoping to take it to 368 00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:00.720 San Francisco as well, and then the rest of the country and the rest 369 00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:04.839 of the world. Okay, I think are you going to tie in charities 370 00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:11.559 on this or something? You have it so far? Yeah? Absolutely, 371 00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.400 uh yeah, that's a great idea. Do it for a cause aside from 372 00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:22.559 just doing it for good health. Yeah. Okay, thank you guys so 373 00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:26.400 much. Appreciate your time. Tucker and West, good luck, get some 374 00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:30.000 new shoes. We'll see you on the streets. Thanks so much, Jamie, 375 00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:33.759 appreciate it all right, take care. Here's some more of the stories 376 00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:37.000 coming out of the KFI news room of power outage at White Memorial Hospital and 377 00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:41.160 Boyle Heights has impacted hundreds of patients twenty when people listed as critical had to 378 00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:45.480 be moved to other hospitals overnight.

Nearly one hundred civilians were also 391 00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:44.559 killed or injured in the explosion. Hollywood studio lions Gate is once again requiring 392 00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:48.400 workers to wear masks at the office in Santa Monica.

Offici'll say many of them have relatives or 397 00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:14.240 friends in the area. We're just minutes away from Handle. On the news 398 00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:18.319 this morning, President Biden headed to Hawaii in the wake of the wildfires. 399 00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:22.720 Right now, let's say good morning to Rachel Corey, the executive director of 400 00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:26.640 Stand Up for Pits. Rachel, there is growing concern on skid row involving 401 00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:33.359 dozens of pitbulls. Tell us what's going on. It's an increasingly bad situation. 402 00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:37.839 The dogs that we've been made aware of our obviously pitbull type dogs, 403 00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:44.119 because although there are several other kinds down there, but pitbull type dogs, 404 00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:49.039 because that's what my organization focuses, focuses on helping and educating and advocating on 405 00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:56.640 behalf of So if absolutely horrific, the dogs are being forced to stay in 406 00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:00.200 creates wire creates, many of which don't even have a bottom on the crate. 407 00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:03.240 Not that it matters that much when it's a hundred degrees out, and 408 00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:07.559 but the pavement can be up to one hundred and forty degrees. When it's 409 00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:11.920 one hundred degrees out or even above eighty degrees, the dogs have no food 410 00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:18.359 or water. They're laying in their own vomits and urine and poop. We 411 00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:22.359 are being told and know that they are openly breeding the dogs and selling them 412 00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:29.400 for drugs and using them as hurdering tools. Many of the dogs have wounds 413 00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:36.000 and lacerations. They are have no shade. They are suffering out in plain 414 00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:38.160 sight, day after day, day in and day out, year after year. 415 00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:45.440 And it's compounding the overcrowded shelter system in LA City and County. And 416 00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:52.920 therefore we don't understand why the laws are not being enforced. How are these 417 00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:59.599 people allowed to openly abuse and neglect dogs in plain sight, openly breed and 418 00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:04.640 sell dogs in plain sight. We my organization offered to spend that are sixty 419 00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:12.759 pitbull type dogs. Only that and the encampment residents refuse, and they're allowed 420 00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:17.920 to refuse, okay, and can't can anybody step in for this? I 421 00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:22.480 have My organization has contact the Mayor's office and LA Animal Services, okay, 422 00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:27.880 and neither of them have responded, okay, so we actually reached out as 423 00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:34.480 well. We got a response and this is a producer and asked the question 424 00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:41.519 about it, and the LA Animal Services said that they have personally frequented skid 425 00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:45.960 Row. They say they strictly enforced the laws. They've been out many times 426 00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:48.759 and continue to go to skid Row and other areas of the city to help 427 00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:52.160 people and animals. This is just their response. Again, she said, 428 00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:57.680 we take any allegation of animal abuse and breeding seriously. Animal Services is actively 429 00:30:57.799 --> 00:31:03.640 investigating the complaint. She says that she and officers have been dispatched multiple times 430 00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:08.920 since the complaint was lodged and will continue to act and investigate as necessary to 431 00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:12.480 ensure the safety of all dogs across the city. And your response to that 432 00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:19.599 is canned. Just a canned response, but nonsense. What is there to 433 00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:23.680 investigate? A sixth grader could see what's going on. There should be no 434 00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:27.640 investigation. They're doing it in plain sight. They're not hiding anything. They're 435 00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:36.200 unabashedly and unapologetically abusing, breeding and abusing suffering animals every single day. We 436 00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:42.400 know that people want companions, that's okay, But specifically, what your complaint 437 00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:49.400 with this is is that they're keeping them restricted, tied up in cages and 438 00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:55.160 they're breeding them, which is against the law in La because La City law 439 00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:59.920 requires all cats and dogs over four months of age to be spayed or neutered. 440 00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:02.319 Yes, And when I called North Central Animal Shelter and spoke to an 441 00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:06.960 officer, I asked why they're not enforcing the laws and he said, well, 442 00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:08.920 all we could really do if they're breeding the dogs and the dogs aren't 443 00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:13.960 life and say, they can't even show proof of ownership. So if they 444 00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:19.160 can't show proof of ownership and the dogs are not spare neutered, then there's 445 00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:22.200 TWOBE issues right there. He said, all we could do is issue citations 446 00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:25.519 and it doesn't matter because they're homeless. They will do no good. Yeah. 447 00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:30.279 I said, so when can you go out and help these dogs that 448 00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:34.359 are languishing and suffering and he said pretty much only if they're dying. If 449 00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:37.200 we get a call that a dog is in imminent danger of death and dying, 450 00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:42.640 we can go out and remove the dog then, But because they're not 451 00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:46.160 living in the quote unquote ideal situations, we can't remove them. We can't 452 00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:49.960 take people's dogs. And one other point, I just want to add, 453 00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:53.000 there is a limit to how many dogs someone can own a LA city, 454 00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:59.680 and on these blocks there are sometimes ten, twelve, fourteen, sixteen dogs 455 00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:02.240 and no one can prove ownership. But they can't take their dogs. None 456 00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:06.799 of it makes any sense. It's nonsense, okay, Rebecca. So how 457 00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:10.200 can people help? They can sign the petition that's available. They can make 458 00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:15.519 their voices heard. They can demand that LA Animal Services and the mayor address 459 00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:21.839 this and stop issuing boiler point nonsense, you know statements. They're not doing 460 00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:24.960 anything. You know, they need to make them follow the law and stop 461 00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:30.799 allowing suffering. And also the other things people can do to help is they 462 00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:36.599 can become committed fosters and if these dogs ever get removed, consider taking one 463 00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:40.119 into your home and fostering it to a rescue. Okay, Rebecca Cory, 464 00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:45.680 thank you so much for being the voice for these dogs, and hopefully we're 465 00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:50.960 going to see some change, because dogs are the best things ever and they 466 00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:55.440 deserve better than this. They are gifts to humanity. We don't deserve them. 467 00:33:55.480 --> 00:34:01.119 And I thank you for allowing me to be their voice and helping us 468 00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:07.160 in this permission because it's it's really horrible. So what can you do? 469 00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:12.280 You can sign the petition at change dot org slash Saving Skid Road Dogs. 470 00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:15.280 You can also get more information and donate to the cause at stand Up for 471 00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:21.639 Pitts dot us. You can also find them on Instagram at stand Up for 472 00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:24.239 Pitts Foundation. I've seen video of it. It's not pretty, you guys. 473 00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:28.119 Pits are beautiful dogs. I know they get a bad rap. They're 474 00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:31.039 beautiful and they need to have good homes and I don't think they're getting them 475 00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:35.679 here. Okay, before we go, where did the hour go? Do 476 00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:37.639 you know? We're just minutes away from handling the news. But I want 477 00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:40.280 to let you know about something that we have to say goodbye to, and 478 00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:46.199 that is Gladstones. Gladstones in Malibu, after fifty years, is closing within 479 00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:52.239 the next year. That's the bad news. Good news is Wolf Wolfgang Puck 480 00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:58.360 is coming along and he's going to build a new Frank Gary designed restaurants. 481 00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:02.679 So apparently it's going to be a standalone restaurant and then it will also have 482 00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:07.679 a separate deck for public use. It will offer some sort of food and 483 00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:09.719 beverage outlet, but it's for those who are just visiting the beach. So 484 00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:14.519 Gladstones is going away, and you know that when my mom comes down to 485 00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:16.159 La, it's her favorite place she goes. Can we go to that fish 486 00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:20.880 place on the beach? It's her favorite? So I won't be able to 487 00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:23.400 take her there again. Lots of good memories and lots of good food at 488 00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:28.920 Gladstones. We lead local line from the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. I'm 489 00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:31.280 Amy King.
