This is your 3 00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:19.199 wake up call for Thursday, February fifteenth. I'm Amy King. Welcome to 4 00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:23.239 the day after Valentine's Day. Hope your day is getting started off on a 5 00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:27.640 positive note. You know, yesterday was super fun. It was Valentine's Day. 6 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.920 Love is in the air. Everyone's happy. I was happy because I 7 00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:35.119 was going to treat myself to a facial and then the shooting in Kansas City. 8 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:39.320 My goodness. We'll get to the latest on the shooting that happened, 9 00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:43.719 and then another that didn't thanks to a student who saw something and said something. 10 00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:46.439 That's all coming up. Plus we've got one of our own who needs 11 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:49.960 your help. It's a pretty specific ask. That's coming up at five point 12 00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.520 fifty. Oh. And I went out and about I'll tell you about that. 13 00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:55.880 That's at five point thirty five. And here's a hint. It was 14 00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:00.280 an intoxicating trip. So buckle up, let's get started. Here's what's ahead 15 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:04.239 on wakeup call. The person killed in a shooting after the Kansas City Chief's 16 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:11.159 victory parade has been identified as a local DJ, Lisa Lopez Galvin. Twenty 17 00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:15.319 two others, including children, were hurt in the shooting yesterday. At least 18 00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.159 three people have been taken into custody. A high school student in Ontario has 19 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.000 been arrested for allegedly plotting to carry out a school shooting. Police say the 20 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.280 eighteen year old had every intention of shooting up in Ontario Christian High School. 21 00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:34.280 He was arrested after another student told authorities about the guy's obsession with school shootings 22 00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.640 and that he had access to weapons. Another big storm is headed towards southern 23 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.439 California, and that could mean flooding. The brunt of the storm is expected 24 00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.840 late Sunday through Tuesday, with two to five inches of rain expected across the 25 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.599 La Basin. Up to eight inches could fall in the mountains, and several 26 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.280 feet of snow as possible above seven thousand feet. At six oh five, 27 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.560 it's handle all the news. Among other things, disposable cups could soon be 28 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.799 off the table at rusts in California. Let's get started, though, with 29 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:06.760 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Of 30 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.080 course, so we told you about the shooting in Kansas City. A dozen 31 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:14.879 children or among those hurt in the mass shooting. One person was killed. 32 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.400 Doctors at Children's hospital say nine kids were treated for gunshots yesterday. The shooting 33 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.319 happened at the end of the Chief's Super Bowl victory parade. This man says 34 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:28.120 he was one of several people who tackled the alleged shooter. That's I'm tackling 35 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.280 him. I see his weapon either fall out of his hand or out of 36 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.520 his sleep. So when I seen that hit the ground, I'm like, 37 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.319 oh, you know, we got to take this guy down. Police have 38 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.080 detained three people. The Chiefs have confirmed that all players, coaches, staff, 39 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.439 and their families are safe. Following the shooting, the team released a 40 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:50.240 statement saying they are saddened by the senseless act of violence and their hearts are 41 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.520 with the victims and their families and all of Kansas City. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes 42 00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:58.639 saying he's praying for Kansas City, and Travis Kelsey saying he's heartbroken over the 43 00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:02.360 tragedy that took place. ABC's Andrew Dimbert says it's the second time in less 44 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:07.599 than a year that gun violence has interrupted a pro sports team's celebration. A 45 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:12.479 shooting in Denver in June injured ten people as fans celebrated the nuggets first NBA 46 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:16.360 championship. A high school student in Ontario has been arrested for threats he allegedly 47 00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:22.400 made against his school via signor. Has been formally charged with one count of 48 00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:28.479 attempted criminal threats and five counts of attempted murder. Ontario Police Chief Michael Lorenz 49 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:34.199 says a classmate reported Sebastian via signor, saying they were afraid he might hurt 50 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:38.759 people. An investigation found via Senor had targets in mind, picked out a 51 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:43.680 date for the shooting, and had searched police response times. Several weapons and 52 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:49.319 more than a thousand rounds of ammunition were recovered. SpaceX is taking a shot 53 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:53.120 at the Moon on a happier note. ABC's Jim Ryan says the company successfully 54 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:58.280 launched its lunar lander this morning from Cape Canaveral. Within minutes, the robotic 55 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.319 lunar lander, known as novac or Odysseus, was operating under its own power 56 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:06.199 on a trajectory to the Moon. Nova Sis expected to land on the Moon 57 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:11.080 a week from today. Those working on the mission say the moon is an 58 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:15.879 easier site to launch deeper into the Solar System from since it has won sixth 59 00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:20.560 the gravity of Earth and no atmosphere. Thank you, Nick. It's five 60 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:26.519 six on your wake up call it say good morning now to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. 61 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:31.279 So, Stephen, we heard yesterday that the House Intelligence Committee chairman said 62 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:36.160 there was a serious national security threaten and wants to know more about it and 63 00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.560 wants us to know more about it. What you got it exactly right, 64 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.160 And what an interesting dynamic this is. You have the House Intelligence Committee chair 65 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:48.720 Mike Turners issuing a news release yesterday saying that his colleagues and the country ought 66 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:54.879 to be aware of what he calls an urgent matter, a foreign military capability 67 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:59.240 that could be destabilizing, and he's calling on the President to declassify it so 68 00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:03.160 the whole country can talk about it. He earned his colleagues to receive classified 69 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.680 briefings on it, and so of course it has leaked. This is about 70 00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:13.319 Russia and Russia's efforts or desire to put a nuclear weapon in space to take 71 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:16.879 out American satellites, the satellites that, for example, connect this radio station 72 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:20.519 with its network that allow for all of us to take out our phones and 73 00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:24.639 know where we are and had to walk or drive from one place to another. 74 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:27.759 We take it all for granted, but that is satellite delivered information. 75 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:32.920 And the idea here is that the Russians could take out those vulnerable satellites which 76 00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:38.560 are floating above us in space, and that we would have no defense against 77 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.680 that. And it's all about it's essentially an arms race. And so I 78 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:46.480 think Mike Turner, the Congressman who chairs the Intelligence Committee, sees this as 79 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.639 a spoutnik moment where the US needs to get engaged and get ahead of this 80 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:57.639 emerging capability. And it would require Congress I don't know it provides funding or 81 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:03.079 something to get ahead of this emerging Russian capability. And what is also interesting 82 00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:09.000 is as this frenzy was sparked yesterday by Mark Turner's news release, the Speaker 83 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:14.560 of the House and Turner's colleagues across the Capitol in the Senate put out statements 84 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:17.959 yesterday to say that there's no need for alarm. This Speaker of the House 85 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:23.360 came to cameras yesterday to say that there's no reason for panic because he's been 86 00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.360 aware of this. He said for weeks and he asked for the briefing that's 87 00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:30.360 said to occur today with Jake Sullivan, the President's National Security advisor, going 88 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.959 up to Capitol Hill to provide the information about all this in a classified setting 89 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:40.680 with the senior leaders of a House, including Johnson and Turner and their Democratic 90 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:44.680 counterparts. So a bit of a tit well back and forth, we'll call 91 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.879 it a tip for tack, but certainly an interesting dynamic where the White House 92 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:51.279 had yesterday was surprised that Mike Turner would have done this, and lots of 93 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:57.759 head scratching about what has driven him to it and do we have any kind 94 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:01.399 of inkling of what caused him to do that? If they already know this 95 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.279 is going on, why did he want to go public with it right now? 96 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:09.279 There are two theories that have been floated, and I think they both 97 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.879 make sense. I mean, one is that Mike Turner is a Republican who 98 00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.759 strongly believes that the US government ought to be doing more to support Ukraine, 99 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.839 and many of his Republican colleagues don't agree with him. And I think Mike 100 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:23.319 Turner is trying to say, hey, look, guys, Putin's a bad 101 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.199 actor in the world. This is what he's up to. We've got to 102 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:29.839 meet him where he is, and we've got to support Ukraine. That's one 103 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:33.000 thing. The other thing is about two months from now there is the expiration 104 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:39.079 of Section seven oh two of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act or FISA. FISA 105 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.800 Section seven oh two. This is a surveillance capability. It's been highly controversial 106 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.040 in the post nine to eleven era because it's alleged that the deep state has 107 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:50.480 been using it to spy on Americans. I think it's possible that this seven 108 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:56.360 oh two authority has been used by the intelligence committee community to dig into this 109 00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:00.000 Russian capability. The whole idea of section seven oh two is it's supposed to 110 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:05.199 allow the FBI and the intelligence community to spy on foreigners and scoop up sometimes 111 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.040 Americans in that surveillance, and they're supposed to weed out the Americans or mask 112 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:15.920 the Americans. But the idea is that if this authorization expires, that perhaps 113 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.279 America's surveillance capabilities could be weakened. And I think John Turner is trying to 114 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:22.480 say to his colleagues, this is what seven oh two can yield. We 115 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:28.120 need this information, we need this authority please don't block it. And yesterday 116 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.559 the House leadership pulled a seven h two reauthorization bill because they feared it would 117 00:08:31.559 --> 00:08:35.919 fail if they put it up pro vote this week. Okay, And just 118 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.240 going back to the threat for one second, because I know you got to 119 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:43.120 go. It's Russia wants to do this. It's not an imminent thing or 120 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.759 we just don't know yet. I don't believe it's an active capability. I 121 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:48.679 think if the Russians actually had a nuclear weapon in space by now, we'd 122 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.279 know about it. Okay, all right, Steven Portino, I thank you 123 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:54.080 so much for the information. This is an interesting one, you bet. 124 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.240 All right. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the 125 00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:01.679 KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

He says more rain 131 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.200 could either pile up material at the base of the cliff, stabilizing the hillside, 132 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.919 or it can have the opposite effect, sending the homes into the sea. 133 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.559 The city said yesterday there has been no structural damage to the homes. 134 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.279 Chris Adler kf I News Pacific Coast Highway is going to be closed every night 135 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:43.039 in parts of Malibu in Ventura County because of shoulder damage caused by erosion from 136 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.960 the heavy rains.

Trump's 171 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.840 team's also going to be in court in the election interference case in Georgia. 172 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.440 The city of La has voted to set up a reward program for people who 173 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.879 report copper wire theft. Thousands of street lights across the city have gone dark 174 00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.720 because of the thefts. City Councilman Kevin dal Leone says there were more than 175 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:52.480 sixty eight hundred cases of copper wire theft last year alone, and it costs 176 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:54.720 the city more than twenty million dollars. At six oh five Handle on the 177 00:12:54.759 --> 00:13:00.320 News, a two year investigation has led to seventeen people being arrested to a 178 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.639 big old drug trafficking ring right here in La. Let's say good morning now 179 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:09.879 to ABC's White House correspondent Karen Travers. Karen, the Senate has passed a 180 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:15.279 ninety five billion dollar foreign aid bill for Ukraine, Israel in Taiwan. Future 181 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:18.879 is uncertain at best in the House, and now Mike Johnson, the Speaker 182 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:24.080 of the House, wants to talk to President Biden. Yeah, that about 183 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.639 sums it all up. It's kind of, you know, a suspended state 184 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:30.320 of animation right now on Capitol Hill. The Senate passed that bill that would 185 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:33.120 give funding to Ukraine, Israel in Taiwan, but it did not include border 186 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.879 security measures. That was because the House last week made it clear they were 187 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:41.120 not going to move forward on that because they didn't like what the Senate had 188 00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:46.639 done in that bipartisan negotiation, so the Senate stripped it out and just passed 189 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:50.080 the Foreign aid. Well, now the House Republicans are not moving forward on 190 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.240 what the Senate sent over because they say it doesn't have border security in it, 191 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.440 and House Speaker Mike Johnson is asking for a one on one meeting with 192 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:03.840 the President to negotiate border security, and the White House wasn't very shy, 193 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.919 holding, you know, with their frustration yesterday, saying you know, this 194 00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:11.639 is not going to happen. The President has declined meetings with Johnson because they 195 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:16.200 don't see what there is to negotiate. That's how Karine Jean Pierre, the 196 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.919 Press secretary, put it. She said, what is the one on one 197 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:24.639 negotiation about when he has been presented with exactly what he asked for, referring 198 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.679 to Speaker Johnson and border security. So, you know, we're kind of 199 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:31.279 in this holding pattern right now, waiting to see what the next move is 200 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.799 on the House side of things, whether they take up the Senate passed bill. 201 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.840 Mike Johnson has made it clear he's not moving forward on that. Do 202 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.159 they break it apart and do some bits of it to put up for a 203 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.679 vote. It's not clear what the next step is and even some Republicans up 204 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.320 there are saying they don't know what the next move will be by the Speaker. 205 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:54.360 But in the meantime, the White House is putting still immense pressure on 206 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.159 House Republicans to pass this aid for Ukraine and for Israel and get it done 207 00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:05.320 quickly. Okay, so the White House and Karine Jean Pierre said he was 208 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.200 given he being Speaker to Johnson, was given just what he asked for, 209 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.080 But he really hasn't. I mean, they there was border security, but 210 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:16.639 it's really not. It didn't go as far as what the Republicans want. 211 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:22.360 So he wasn't really given what he asked for, and he's not going to 212 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:26.320 get exactly what he asked for because that's not how it works and divide government 213 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.679 right now, that's the reality, and that's what Republicans will say. In 214 00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.440 the Senate. You know, you need sixty votes to pass anything in the 215 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:35.639 Senate. That's why there are bipartisan groups that work out legislation over there. 216 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.919 That's why James Langford the Republican and Chris Murphy the Democrats, spent months, 217 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.840 weeks, you know, they were working over the holiday break to try and 218 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:48.879 reach this agreement on border security, and they did get to that point because 219 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:52.039 they felt that they got to a place where it could pass with sixty votes 220 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:56.440 in the Senate. And they basically then say to the House, you got 221 00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:58.279 to take this and this is what you're going to get. And the House 222 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:02.960 responds is, well, we've already passed a very conservative immigration bill and you 223 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:04.440 need to take this. That's just not how it works right now. When 224 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.200 you have a Democrat in the White House, the Democrats controlling the Senate, 225 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.799 and sixty votes needed to pass anything in the Senate, it has to be 226 00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:18.559 bipartisan over there. Right, So just from like perception to what I hear. 227 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:21.960 Sometimes when I see stuff, you know, you hear something, you 228 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:26.159 go, but you said this, like Biden says, I'm willing to negotiate 229 00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:30.279 on the border, which they did, right. But if he's willing to 230 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.759 negotiate, why not sit down and talk with Johnson? I mean, the 231 00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:38.840 White House will say because there was an agreement, that that is the best 232 00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:42.519 that can be done. Yeah, that is the best that could be reached 233 00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:47.080 in order to pass in the Senate, and that that was the This is 234 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:48.200 again, this is what the White House will say, and this is what 235 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:55.159 Senate Republicans have said too, that those were the toughest border reform measures put 236 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:57.960 on paper in decades. And when that's the best you can do, to 237 00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:02.080 try and go at it again, you're not going to get any better than 238 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:04.279 that, okay, And hardliners are saying we need better than that, So 239 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:10.279 okay, fun sale me. Thank you, Karen Travers, appreciate the information. 240 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:12.920 Have a great day. We need her help to help things get sorted 241 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:15.839 out, don't we. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out 242 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:21.599 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Criminal charges are expected to be filed 243 00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:25.160 against two men accused of going on a shooting spree that killed four people in 244 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:29.839 southeastern La County, including a fourteen year old boy. Sheriff's investigators say the 245 00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:34.200 shootings late Sunday into Monday appear to be random acts of violence. One of 246 00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:38.079 the men arrested as forty two, the others twenty. DA George Gascone is 247 00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:42.759 expected to announce charges against both men later this morning. Defense lawyers have called 248 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:49.640 experts to dispute charges alleging Rebecca Grossman killed two boys in Westlake Village while intoxicated 249 00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:53.160 and speeding. One expert used video from the scene in twenty twenty to estimate 250 00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:57.400 Grossman's speed at fifty two miles per hour, despite crash data from Grossman's SUV 251 00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:02.720 clocking her at eighty one second before the crash. A former detective yesterday claimed 252 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:07.359 Grossman didn't appear drunk and didn't flee the scene. Grossman's husband testified he can't 253 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:11.359 recall her ever speeding. However, jurors didn't get to hear about Grossman's four 254 00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:15.839 prior speeding tickets, but did get to hear that Grossman previously told a CHP 255 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:18.680 officer during a stop for speeding that she hopes he never needs the Grossman burn 256 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.960 Center at van I's Courthouse. Corbin Carson, k if I News Irvine policer 257 00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:26.240 trying to find a woman who walked into a store, filled her cart with 258 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:32.319 eighteen hundred dollars worth of chewing gum and walked out without paying. It happened 259 00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:36.440 in late January. Police say the woman is also suspected of committing similar gum 260 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:41.920 thefts its stores across Orange County. Efforts to get a grounded commercial fishing boat 261 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:45.960 near Bodega Bay back in the water have failed. Hunter Schnabel with the US 262 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.880 Coast Guard in San Francisco says the fifty eight foot boat got stuck last Friday. 263 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.400 Attempts were made to try to tow the vessel out of the beach, 264 00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:57.759 Sir, and those were ultimately unsuccessful. Schnabel says some fuel leaked into the 265 00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:00.960 ocean, and they're trying to remove as much diesel as they can to mitigate 266 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:07.839 pollution and other environmental impacts. Former President Trump has said that if he returns 267 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:11.440 to the White House, he would not defend NATO members that don't meet defense 268 00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:17.039 spending target. Trump told an audience in South Carolina yesterday, if they're not 269 00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:21.000 going to pay, we're not going to protect. Trump also says he's against 270 00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:23.519 the foreign aid package approved by the Senate that we were just talking to Karen 271 00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:27.640 about. It includes sixty billion dollars in aid for Ukraine. Trump says the 272 00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:33.079 US should provide a loan to Ukraine instead of just handing the money over. 273 00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:38.319 The makers of Squish Mellows and Build a Bear have sued each other over copycat 274 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:44.799 accusations.

Or right here with us at 284 00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:30.960 KFI. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four our newsroom. The 285 00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:37.000 House Intelligence Committee is warned of a serious national security threat Ohio Republican Mike Turner. 286 00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:41.400 Mike Turner brought the threat to light, saying it's related to Russia wanting 287 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.920 to launch a nuclear weapon into space, so it could take out our satellites. 288 00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:52.200 Two climate protesters have been arrested for allegedly dumping pink powder over the case 289 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.799 protecting the US Constitution at the National Archives in Washington, d C. Officials 290 00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:00.400 say the Constitution does not appear to have been damaged. Another big storms headed 291 00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:04.119 towards southern California, and that could mean flooding. The brunt of the storm 292 00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:08.599 is expected to hit late Sunday through Tuesday, with two to five inches of 293 00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.359 rain across the La Basin, up to eight inches expected in the mountains, 294 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:17.799 and several feet of snow could fall above the seven thousand foot level. At 295 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:22.240 six oh five, it's handle on the news. Space Wars has taken on 296 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.279 a whole new meeting as the US warns Russia wants to launch a nuclear weapon 297 00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:29.319 into orbit. At five point fifty, we're going to be talking to one 298 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:32.680 of our own who needs our help. I hope you'll stick around for that. 299 00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:38.200 That's just fifteen minutes away. Right now, it's time off the road 300 00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:47.559 again, going places that I've never been seeing things. As you may know, 301 00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:51.559 I go out and about around southern California quite a bit. Share some 302 00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:53.599 of the really cool things there are to do in our area. And you 303 00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:57.200 don't have to go too far to have a really great experience when you live 304 00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:02.759 in some place like southern California. But this last weekend, I wind a 305 00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:07.319 little waves away if you're looking for a fun weekend get away and a great 306 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:11.440 experience. And as we've talked about before, like people are looking for more 307 00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:17.960 experiences rather than stuff these days. So maybe it becomes a Valentine's Day weekend, 308 00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:19.960 or maybe it's a birthday present weekend or something like that. But here's 309 00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:26.680 something to consider. Pasa Robels. If you want great wine, beautiful views, 310 00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:30.839 really cool boutique hotels, and a fun little town square with lots of 311 00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.720 shopping and restaurants, Pasa Robyls place to go. It's about three hours from 312 00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:37.640 La So I go and I usually take the five up for about two hours 313 00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:42.319 and then cut over and it's about then an hour longer. Or you could 314 00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:45.519 go up the one on one if you want to go the scenic route, 315 00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:49.000 go through Santa Barbara and get up there and the town itself, if you 316 00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:53.480 haven't been there, it's it's such a cool little place. There's this little 317 00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:57.480 town square, like this old fashioned town square, big park in the middle, 318 00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:00.519 and then shops lying like three sides of it all the way around, 319 00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:04.920 and there's restaurants and there's shopping, and there's plenty of tasting rooms. Like 320 00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:07.160 if you want to just stay in the city center, if you want to 321 00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.279 call it a city because it's very small, you can stay right there and 322 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:14.200 do it all. Now, if you want to venture out into the countryside 323 00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:18.519 like we did, there are wineries everywhere. In fact, I looked it 324 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:22.799 up. There are more than two hundred wineries in the Paso Robols area. 325 00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:26.640 And the wines are fantastic. I think they they didn't used to be, 326 00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:30.680 but they've really grown grown into them, like they've come into their own and 327 00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:33.599 Paso Robls has some of the best wine that I've tasted in a very long 328 00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:37.519 time. There are some larger wineries that you might have heard of, like 329 00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:41.400 Justin and Eberley and even the Ribbley family which makes Tella Rosa. Out in 330 00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:48.039 the country, there's these boutique wineries. They have these gorgeous little tasting rooms 331 00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:52.440 and they're kind of situated in the middle of acres and acres of vineyards, 332 00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.599 so it's really picturesque. And one of the great things about passo is that 333 00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:00.960 you can go to your favorite wineries, but there's all always new ones to 334 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.599 try. Like I said, there's two hundred of them. When we went 335 00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:08.000 up this last weekend, my friends who live in the area, they do 336 00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:11.200 wine tasting with their friends quite often, but they decided, let's go try 337 00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:14.960 new ones, and so we went to a couple new ones, and one 338 00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.200 of them was called hawk Hill, so good. The tasting room was made 339 00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:22.599 in an old stable, but it's fixed up, like gutted, and is 340 00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:26.119 really really nice and classy, and the wines were terrific and so much that 341 00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.640 I joined their wine club. But it definitely you want to make a weekend 342 00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:33.799 of it, because it takes like three hours to get there, so you 343 00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:37.279 don't want to do wine tasting and then drive home, So make a weekend 344 00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:41.799 of it. There are cool hotels in town, some of the wineries have 345 00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:47.559 their own rooms, and plus there're BnB and verbos and that kind of stuff. 346 00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:51.119 But like I said, definitely planned for a weekend. It can be 347 00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:55.880 a little spendy, so planned for that. It's become quite the popular destination, 348 00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:00.279 and when things become popular, the prices go up. The wineries still 349 00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:06.319 require reservations they implemented that when they reopened during the pandemic, but they've just 350 00:25:06.440 --> 00:25:08.799 kept that. And the cool thing about that actually is that when you go 351 00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:12.400 to a winery, it's not going to be super crowded like when I've gone 352 00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:15.279 to some of the wineries like in Temecula, for example, which also has 353 00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:22.559 some good wineries, that the tasting rooms are so crowded you barely can get 354 00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:25.559 in and there's no room for you. So with the reservation system, there's 355 00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:27.720 always a spot for you, and you have a person who can talk to 356 00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:32.640 you and walk you through everything. Some of them have snacks, most of 357 00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:34.559 them don't, so either planned to pack a picnic or have a lunch in 358 00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:37.559 town before you head out. And here's the other cool thing. If you 359 00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:41.519 don't want to drive and you don't have a designated driver, and you do 360 00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:44.880 need a designated driver if you're going to be out wine tasting, you can 361 00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:48.960 book buses or jeeps or even a limo. But they have those services up 362 00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:51.640 there and you can google it and find them. We ran into a guy 363 00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:55.720 who has a jeep service and so it's like a it's a jeep wrangler or 364 00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:57.400 something like that, and it's open air and it's just really like I was 365 00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:02.240 like, how fun is that you just ride around all day and do that 366 00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:04.680 anytime of years? Kind of good. It was like sixty and sixty five 367 00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:08.240 and sunny while we were there. But in the summer it does get a 368 00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:11.519 little hot, so you need to plan for it. But again, whether 369 00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.039 it's with your sweetie or with a group of girls or a group of guys, 370 00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:18.640 it's a fabulous weekend getaway. So I recommend you two go out and 371 00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:22.400 about Tapasa Robos. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of 372 00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:26.799 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. One person has been killed and nearly two 373 00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:32.279 dozen others hurt in a shooting near the Chief's Super Bowl parade in Missouri. 374 00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:37.240 The shooting happened outside Union Station yesterday and the cities packed downtown area. At 375 00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:42.119 least nine of those shot are kids. They were treated at Children's hospital. 376 00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:47.079 Kansas City Mayor Quentin Lucas says the threat of mass shootings is becoming a regular 377 00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:52.079 concern in large crowd. We had over eight hundred officers there staffed situated all 378 00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:57.640 around Union Station. We had security in any number of places, eyes on 379 00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:03.000 top of buildings and on and there still is a risk to people. Tens 380 00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:06.559 of thousands of people showed up to celebrate the team's victory before the shooting happened. 381 00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:11.640 Three people have been detained. A homeless man's been arrested in Long Beach 382 00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.640 for allegedly stealing a car with a four year old boy in the backseat. 383 00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.640 The theft Tuesday night triggered an Amber alert. The boy was later found in 384 00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.799 the abandoned car, still in his car car seat. Please a security video 385 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:27.519 help them find the suspected car thief. He was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping, 386 00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:33.559 child endangerment, and car theft. Firefighters are urging voters to reject a 387 00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:37.880 ballot measure that would slow traffic on many streets in La. Changes the city 388 00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:44.680 would make under Measure HLA include implementing bike lanes protected by curbs and implementing dedicated 389 00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:48.200 bus lanes. LA City Fire Captain Brian Assour says the possible changes have him 390 00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:53.960 worried for public safety. The lafd's average response on for any critical response for 391 00:27:55.039 --> 00:28:00.319 als is six minutes and fourteen seconds. Measure HLA is only going to slow 392 00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:03.759 us down more than twenty five hundred miles of streets would be affected. Proponents 393 00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.400 of the measures say it will make streets safer. But like trolley k if 394 00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:15.319 I news. So, have you ever wondered why vegan burgers taste so good? 395 00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:19.440 I just found this story. I just had to share it, nick 396 00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:25.680 Er. Do you know why vegan burgers taste so good? That's what vegan 397 00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:30.200 burgers? Yes? So have you ever had a vegan burger? Oh? 398 00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:33.039 Yeah, I've had several. Now wait are we talking? Yeah, impossible 399 00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:36.920 burger beyond meat those things right yeah, plant based meats. Yeah, so 400 00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:38.480 yeah, I know I've had them. They're tasty, but right, I 401 00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:45.000 always get a little freaked out because they do such a good job replicating what 402 00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:48.319 a burger is. Like, yeah, they bleed and there's no there's no 403 00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:52.640 meat in them, so right, like they have pea protein and potato starch 404 00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:59.359 and coconut oil and micoproteins, super highly processed. But I found out a 405 00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:03.440 little secret. They taste good because they're putting animal fats in some of them. 406 00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:12.400 Stop, way does that get well? I it's not regular an animal 407 00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:18.160 fat, it's they're growing fat in laboratories. Isn't that nice? See that 408 00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:26.559 says gross too and They also use animal byproducts from traditional meat production and blend 409 00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:30.240 it in with the plant ingredients to create those pieces of like shredded steak, 410 00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:40.640 and yes, the co founder of a company called Choppy, Yeah, they're 411 00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:47.440 doing. It's fundamentally difficult to make plants taste like meat, she says, 412 00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:52.359 it would be impossible. So next time you try a vegan impossible burger, 413 00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:56.440 look at the ingredients and see what's actually in there. I don't. I 414 00:29:56.440 --> 00:29:59.319 also don't eat them because they're so highly processed. And I think, if 415 00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:02.160 you're really going to be vegan, eat some nuts and fruits, right, 416 00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:07.039 But they have like impostor kind of everything these days. But so next time 417 00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:10.480 you take a bite into a vegan burger and you go, boy, that 418 00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:17.640 sure tastes good. Animal fat might be why huh wild. We've got the 419 00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:19.559 Food and Wine Festival coming up at Disney California Adventure, so I bet you 420 00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:22.880 will get some of the d tasty impossible meat or maybe a beyond burger. 421 00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:26.920 So okay, that will be the exception that'll be when I try it. 422 00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:29.880 Oh sure, for sure, No, of course, because it'll be delicious. 423 00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:33.759 But still, yeah, Okay, you're listening to a wake up call 424 00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:37.480 on demand from KFI Am six forty. Here's what we're following in the KFI 425 00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:41.319 twenty four hour newsroom. President Biden says the shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs 426 00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:45.000 Super Bowl rally that left one person dead and twenty two others hurt, including 427 00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:49.000 children, should move us, shock us, and shame us into acting. 428 00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:53.359 Three people have been detained, one of them after fans tackled him and held 429 00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:57.119 them down until police showed up. The city of La has voted to set 430 00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:02.759 up a reward program for people who were copper wire theft. Thousands of street 431 00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:06.599 lights across the city have gone dark because of the theft. City Councilman Kevin 432 00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:11.119 da Leon says there were more than sixty eight hundred cases of copper wire theft 433 00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:15.440 just last year, costa city about twenty million dollars. Six hikers have been 434 00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:18.440 airlifted off Mount Baldy. The group was rescued yesterday after getting stuck in the 435 00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:22.079 snow on Bear Canyon Trail at about the nine thousand foot level. It's the 436 00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:26.279 latest in several rescues in the last couple of weeks. A twenty two year 437 00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:30.759 old woman hiking alone during the last big storm died on the mountain. We're 438 00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:34.599 just minutes away from a handle on the news, Israeli forces have moved into 439 00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:40.759 the last working hospital in the Gaza Strip. Right now, let's say good 440 00:31:40.759 --> 00:31:45.079 morning to our very own Mondo. Mondo is the producer of the Gary and 441 00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:49.759 Shannon Show. He's also an award winning Guacamly maker, although he never brings 442 00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:53.359 Manny, and one of the nicest guys at the radio station. Good morning, 443 00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:57.880 Mondo, Good morning baby. How are you? I'm good and I 444 00:31:57.920 --> 00:32:02.039 know you're good, but you are in need of something, so I'm not 445 00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:07.240 sure if we ask, make the ask now or give the backstory. Okay, 446 00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:15.200 so the backstory is I'm a heart kidney transplant recipient and sorry heart kidney 447 00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:21.119 and bone barrow. I got it done during the pandemic, right at when 448 00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:25.759 it started. I was in the hospital and my transplant going. And but 449 00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:30.319 last year I got an infection called the b front the BK virus, which 450 00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:35.720 is something that everybody has, but it just got reactivated in my system because 451 00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:39.039 my loan immune system, and it did some damage to my kidney. So 452 00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:45.440 now I'm currently on the process of getting on the kidney transplant list for a 453 00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:51.400 new kidney. So you've got you already got one, you need another? 454 00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:58.119 Okay, So let's let's talk a little bit about one. The suppressed immune 455 00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:01.160 system. Like you said that it's what's it called the BK infection? Yeah, 456 00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:06.519 it was a BK virus. Virus everybody has. Okay, so when 457 00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:08.079 as a kid, but you build a meaning to it so you know it 458 00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:12.279 doesn't affect you. Yeah, okay. And the reason that it affects you 459 00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:15.039 is because you have a low immune system. And why do you have a 460 00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:20.160 low immune system, Well, you have to need a low immune system, 461 00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:25.880 so I don't get any uh so my organs can can cooperate with my system 462 00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:30.400 so they don't get rejected. Okay. So basically, when you get the 463 00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:32.720 transplant, because you have a new heart and you have a new kidney, 464 00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:39.640 and your body will go that that didn't come with you, that shouldn't be 465 00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:44.000 there, and so your body will go after it, and so they suppress 466 00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:50.640 your immune system so it doesn't try to attack the organ. Correct. Yeah, 467 00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:53.319 And thankfully, none none of that has happened. Everything has been working 468 00:33:53.359 --> 00:34:00.480 properly. There's been no rejection at all, which is great. But but 469 00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:05.680 what since I have a low news system. When I get sick, either 470 00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:10.440 with knock on wood covid luckily haven't gotten, or like a flu or you 471 00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:14.360 know, anything kind of minor, it hits me a lot harder than anything 472 00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:20.039 else. So I'm susptible to eat getting the you know, vk virs or 473 00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:24.679 even with foods like I can't have anything that's raw or or anything that's medium, 474 00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:27.480 well like a steak. If I have a steak, it's got to 475 00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:30.639 be well done. Everything's got to be cooked for you. There's no no 476 00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:36.440 savice, no no soft cheeses. Everything has to be pasteurized. Wow, 477 00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:39.239 and stuff like that. Yeah, okay, And that's similar because our own 478 00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:45.599 Neil uh Savad or the Fork reporter, he had a kidney transplant as well, 479 00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:49.719 so I've heard him talk about that he can't have things like over easy 480 00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:52.400 eggs. Yeah. Correct, And now that's one of my loves. I 481 00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:58.039 used to love having over easy eggs. Well, okay, so you got 482 00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:05.840 the and is your the transplant of kidney is it not working at all or 483 00:35:05.880 --> 00:35:10.880 is it just it's working? But it's that I believe it's at thirteen percent 484 00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:15.719 is what it's at. When it's at ten percent, that's when it's in 485 00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:20.639 complete failure, but they wanted me at thirteen percent. They wanted me to 486 00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:23.599 start me on dialysis just so that it's not putting its wustrain on the kidney 487 00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:28.840 as possible. They don't want me to start dialysis when I'm in kidney failure 488 00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:31.480 because they need to know how how much damage it's already been done. So 489 00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:37.280 they're kind of easily into it easy. I'm kind of easy into kidney failure 490 00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:40.519 in the sense. So I'm on dialysis right now, and I do that 491 00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:45.320 twice a day. Twice a day. Yeah, so you know, get 492 00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:52.280 home, go buy my business, and then I do my first dialysis and 493 00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:54.800 it stays in your system for about two hours, and then I do the 494 00:35:54.840 --> 00:35:58.519 second dose, which is a longer dose.
