WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.839 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:11.640 demand on the iHeartRadio app. Good morning, I'm Amy King. This is 3 00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:15.839 your wake up call. So happy that you're with us this morning. I 4 00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:19.120 know you don't have to be, but we we're happy that you're here. 5 00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:23.239 And of course, hits a rainy one. The rain started falling at my 6 00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.879 house at about I don't know, one or two yesterday afternoon. Yesterday morning, 7 00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:30.079 I was like, this is nice, just kind of cloudy and cool. 8 00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:33.719 Maybe they were wrong about the storms. Nope, nope, nope, 9 00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:38.240 nope. Started raining, hasn't stopped. And if you are headed out and 10 00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:44.679 about today, got a little warning for you. Those roads are huggy. 11 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.119 I know that. I was driving like a grandmother on the way in because 12 00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:52.320 I thought last time we had a really really heavy rainstorm. I hit some 13 00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:56.479 big puddles of water on the freeway and it scared the Bejesus out of me. 14 00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:59.880 So I was driving about fifty miles an hour. A couple of things. 15 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.439 There was a lot of standing water. So if you're heading out and 16 00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:07.079 about and then there was standing water on the surface streets and on the freeways, 17 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.719 so be careful of that. And the other thing. I noticed that 18 00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.000 the people were driving way too fast. I know I was driving way too 19 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.799 slow because I was only going about fifty but there were some people. A 20 00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:22.359 big truck went by me going about at least eighty miles an hour, and 21 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.239 I was like, oh, dude, if you hit a big puddle of 22 00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:29.920 water, you could be in some serious troubles. So just you know, 23 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.840 chill out, leave a little early, or as Mayor Math said yesterday, 24 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.280 if you don't have to go out, don't go out, just stay home. 25 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.640 Okay, here's what the head on wake up call. Southern California, 26 00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:45.000 of course, being pounded by that powerful atmospheric river that has actually been upgraded. 27 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.799 They're now calling it a cyclone bomb or is it a bomb cyclone bomb 28 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.959 cyclone? Either way, it means a lot of water. Eight counties had 29 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.000 been placed under a state a state of emergency with the risk of flooding and 30 00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:01.319 high winds. Then ashal weather so called yesterday, one of the most dramatic 31 00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:06.319 weather days in recent memory. Canyon roads in and out of Malibu are shut 32 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.120 down because of mud and rock slides. And speaking of slides, we're going 33 00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:15.199 to be checking in with our own Blake Trolley momentarily because he's out in it 34 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:19.680 and we've got some slides a little closer in along, awaited bipartisan deal to 35 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.800 secure the US Mexico border and provide a to Ukraine has been unveiled. The 36 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:29.199 full bill totals about one hundred and twenty billion dollars, with roughly twenty billion 37 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.240 going to the border. In the deal, asylum screenings would be raised, 38 00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:38.479 with the practice known as catch and release done away with. Sofi Stadium is 39 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.800 going to host eight World Cup matches in twenty twenty six, including the first 40 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:46.520 and third matches for the US men's national team. The US team's first match 41 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:50.199 will happen on June twelfth, twenty twenty six, against a yet to be 42 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.319 determined opponent, and then the World Cup final will be played at MetLife Stadium 43 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.319 in New Jersey at six oh five. It's handled on the news, the 44 00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.919 US strikes twice. Will take a look at what happened in Syria, Iraq 45 00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:06.280 and Yemen over the last few days. But let's get started now with our 46 00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:10.360 very own Blake Trolley, who is live in Studio City, and Blake, 47 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:15.360 we're calling you our storm trooper today. Well, I feel that way, 48 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:19.000 and you're definitely right about the roads. You know, it was quite the 49 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.560 drive from Claremont all the way out here to Studio City. I saw some 50 00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:24.599 issues on the two ten. I believe there may have been an accident on 51 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:29.719 the two ten eastbound, I want to say near Arcadia when I was coming 52 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:32.199 out, and I've just seen other cars having a hard time struggling through some 53 00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:36.520 of these high puddles of water. Yeah, we're going to get the latest. 54 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.680 Nick Paulochini's back from vacation and he'll give us a complete update on the 55 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:44.560 roads. Now, you are in a neighborhood now in Studio City where they've 56 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:46.599 had some problems from the rain. That's right. Nine homes here in Studio 57 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:51.560 City have been evacuated, and at least three homes over in Tarzana have also 58 00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:54.719 been evacuated because of debris flows. Here in Studio City. I'm on Freeman 59 00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:59.120 Canyon Road near Freeman Canyon Park, just up the road here a little bit 60 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.120 and into a kind of a side street. This is where the nine homes 61 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:08.120 were evacuating, evacuated, forcing sixteen people and their pets out. Now, 62 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:12.599 not all of the homes evacuated Amy, were actually impacted by this debris flow, 63 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:15.599 but there are concerns that more mud slides could be on the way, 64 00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:19.079 so those some of these evacs are precautionary and heavy equipment is on seen here 65 00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:24.160 to clear that debris. The good news is there have been no injuries reported. 66 00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:26.480 But Amy, it is a mess out here. That's what I was 67 00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.000 gonna say. What does it look like. I went for a little drive 68 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.160 up to try to get closer to these homes, and there are huge rocks 69 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.959 in the road, there's water rivering down streets, trash cans toppled. I 70 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:40.480 mean, it's gonna take a long time, I believe, for crews to 71 00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:44.519 actually clean up this mess. But this really is an example, Amy, 72 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:49.000 of how the whole region from the LA area to Orange County to the IE 73 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:53.519 is under a threat from the effects of this storm. Yesterday we saw some 74 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:58.040 evacuation orders and warnings in the Sun Valley area to Panga Antelope Valley. But 75 00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:00.439 really everybody should be on alert and this is just a prime example of that. 76 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.000 Okay, And as far as the weather, what, I don't know 77 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:08.800 who's bleeding through, but get off our line. Hey. As far as 78 00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.519 the what is coming up I know we've had rain coming through for the last 79 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:17.399 twelve fourteen hours and four inches has already fallen in downtown Ala and that was 80 00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.639 as of eleven o'clock last night. So what are we expecting today? Yeah, 81 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:24.759 so rain should be heavy through today. There'll still be some rain tomorrow, 82 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:27.879 but it will be lighter. I do want to touch on this just 83 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.560 one more time. Amy The National Weather Service says there are concerns that more 84 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.800 mud slides could be on the way, not just here in the Santa Monica 85 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:39.079 Mountains, but in other foothill communities, including the San Gabriel communities. Now 86 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:44.240 tomorrow, we should see light showers across the whole area except around thunderstorms. 87 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:47.360 And that chance of thunderstorms comes into play this afternoon through tomorrow, which bring 88 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:51.319 with them localized heavy rains. However, that thunderstorm is you could start seeing 89 00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:56.360 a heavy downpour, and any thunderstorm that we see over the next couple of 90 00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:00.000 days could produce tornadoes. However, I'm told that chance is relatively low. 91 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.480 Now when you look at Orange County, you actually back the timeline up a 92 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.040 little bit, and that's because of the way the storm is moving. This 93 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:10.079 is also true for the Inland Empire. It's kind of moving through the inland 94 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:14.240 or through LA and then southeast, so it's moving out into the IE and 95 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.040 down into Orange County. A lot of rain is to be expected in Orange 96 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.600 County. Flooding is a concern there. There are some strong winds, and 97 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:25.759 I should say this also about La County. There are still some strong winds 98 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.399 expected, but the major wind portion of this I'm told has moved through. 99 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.480 Flooding maintained. Yeah, flooding is still the concern. So heavy rain most 100 00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:38.720 of the day today in Orange County. Those heavy showers should continue through tomorrow 101 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:43.199 morning, and the heaviest part of this storm again will continue through tomorrow into 102 00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.639 Wednesday. And that's because this storm is moving that way, so it will 103 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.560 be a little bit of a backed up timeline than from here in La County. 104 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:54.399 Okay, So we're not through we're not through it yet, but we're 105 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:59.040 getting there. We're getting there exactly. Lake Trolly, our storm trooper. 106 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.399 We're going to check in with you again shortly for any updates. Stay dry 107 00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.240 out there. I know you can't stay dry out there. I'll try, 108 00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.600 all right. We'll check in with you so we'll see all right now, 109 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.079 let's take a look at the roads. I know that Blake mentioned that there 110 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:14.920 were some problems on the two ten. There's problems kind of all over and 111 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:16.959 heard of lots of spinouts and that kind of stuff. So thank you, 112 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.839 Nick. It's eight. Oh, it's not eight, it's five. Eight. 113 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:24.600 Let's say good morning to ABC's Karen Travers. So, Karen, we 114 00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:29.560 know that we've had two different waves of air strikes, the US hip targets 115 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:33.120 in Syria and Iraq and then the next day in Yemen. Have there been 116 00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:36.319 any additional strikes since then? Yeah? No, that was it. And 117 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:41.199 these are two different campaigns, and I think it's important to keep track of 118 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:45.600 them because it's confusing. They're kind of melding together. But the Friday night 119 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:49.879 strikes in Iraq and Syria, seven different locations, eighty five targets. That's 120 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:54.879 the start of the response to the drone attack last Sunday that killed three US 121 00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.000 service members at the remote base in Jordan, injured more than forty. The 122 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.839 President said that response will continue at times and places of our choosing, and 123 00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.959 the White House over the weekend made it very clear that that was just the 124 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.079 beginning, that there will be more steps. Some of those steps will be 125 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.240 seen, as Jake Sullivan, the National Security Advisor said, and some may 126 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:20.040 not be seen. The retaliation campaign is also happening at the same time as 127 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:24.639 that allied effort to stop the attacks from the Houthy militants. So the US 128 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.519 and the UK, with support from six other countries, were hitting dozens of 129 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:33.120 targets across Yemen over the weekend with strikes launched by fighter jets and warships to 130 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:37.879 try and stop those attacks that the Houthis have been launching against US Navy ships 131 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:43.039 and commercial ships in the Red Sea region. Okay, so separate campaigns, 132 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:48.600 and the one on Friday that was just US, yes, exactly. And 133 00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:52.879 there are questions about Jordanian support and whether or not they might get involved, 134 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.399 but that was the United States that response to the jordan attack, and then 135 00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:01.440 over the weekend kind of picking back up the response to the Hoho thies. 136 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:03.080 There's a lot going on there, I mean, and it's kind of tough 137 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:07.399 to keep track of. And it was asked yesterday if these air strikes are 138 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.759 working, that was just the simple question. They didn't say which air strikes, 139 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.759 and he said yes, Well, that's the good news. And I'm 140 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.919 sure more details are coming out or will come out about what we hit and 141 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.720 next steps, so I know you can't stick with us very long today. 142 00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.519 Karen Travis, thank you so much for the update. Have a great day, 143 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:28.559 all right you too. Let's get back to some of the stories coming 144 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.519 out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom, and of course the big news 145 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.080 is the storm. The la School District says campuses will be open today. 146 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:39.399 We recognize the severity and a threat that this storm brings, so we will 147 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:46.240 be exercising a great deal of grace of patients and understanding both with our students 148 00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:50.559 as well as our workforce. Superintendent Alberto Carvallo says the decision is partly because 149 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:56.080 kids rely on schools for their meals. Considering the fact that our students depend 150 00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:00.799 on nutrition at school, we have made the decision at this point maintain our 151 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:05.480 schools open. One school, Vindale College Prep in Sun Valley, has been 152 00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.960 closed for the day because it's in an area affected by an evacuation order. 153 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:15.200 The la USD is planning to give us another update at six o'clock this morning. 154 00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.320 Of course, we will bring you the latest as we get any updates. 155 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.320 Evacuation orders have been issued for the Latuna Canyon burn area north of the 156 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.559 Burbank Airport. Lameor Bath says the area is at a high risk for storm 157 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:33.519 damage. Residents along a portion of Latuna Canyon Road should have already evacuated because 158 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:39.399 of the increased risk of significant flooding, mudslides and sediment flow due to the 159 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:46.000 burn scars left by the twenty twenty two landfire. Parts of Tepanga Canyon and 160 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:52.200 an area near Agua Dulce are also under evacuation orders. Evacuation warnings are in 161 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.279 place for the Jupiter Hills and Valaermore areas in the Anelote Valley, Lake Hughes, 162 00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:01.320 and Dwarty. A high wind warning and flood have also been issued for 163 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:07.639 the Antelope Valley. Flights in and out of the Burbank Airport have been canceled, 164 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.200 several of them because of the heavy rain and apparently standing water on the 165 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:15.639 runways, so if you're traveling today, be sure to check your flights before 166 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:18.879 you head out. At least one city in La has experienced a drop in 167 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.759 the number of homeless people. Officials in Malibus they counted fifty one homeless people 168 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.639 compared to seventy one last fiscal year and eighty one the year before. Among 169 00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:31.360 those counted, sixteen were living in cars, thirteen in vans or RVs, 170 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.279 five in campers, seven in homemade shelters, and nine in tents. The 171 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.639 highest number since the annual count began was two hundred and thirty nine and twenty 172 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:41.440 sixteen. The city says a total of eighteen volunteers helped to do the count 173 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:46.559 alongside the city's Homeless Outreach Team. Volunteers were assigned to groups that covered specific 174 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.000 areas to look for individuals, families, cars, RV's, tents, and 175 00:11:50.080 --> 00:12:01.559 makeshift shelters. Steve Gregory Kafinos. Taylor Swift is made Grammy's history by becoming 176 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:05.639 the first artist to win Album of the Year four times.

Four to eight 190 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.440 inches of rain is expected before this storm moves out. Texas Republican Governor Greg 191 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.480 Abbott, who has sent bus loads of migrants to New York City, says 192 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:15.679 he is offended by the city's recently announced plan to give them money to buy 193 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.759 food. New York City announced migrants in one of the city's hotels are going 194 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:24.320 to be given pre paid credit cards instead of being provided with meals. Under 195 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:26.919 the plan, a family of four would get one thousand dollars a month. 196 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:31.679 The Supreme Court will arguments this week about whether former President Trump should be removed 197 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:37.759 from Colorado's primary ballot.

The hearing will be held Thursday at six oh five. Its 200 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:48.919 handle on the news. The text of that border bill passed by the Senate 201 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.639 has finally been released, what it says, and whether it has a chance 202 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:58.360 of passing. Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Jason Nathanson, 203 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:03.120 who was at The Grammy's Life last night. Jason, h, first off 204 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.399 the bat, I'm going to say I think that they resolved some sound issues 205 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.679 because for the most part, for me, I thought it sounded really good. 206 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:13.159 When you said there were issues, though, what are you comparing that 207 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.960 too in the past, like they do a Grammy show and the sound just 208 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:24.320 doesn't quite measure up. I was always surprised by that because you know, 209 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.440 it's music, but it seems like the sound sounded pretty good last night. 210 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:30.840 Okay, good to know you were there though, so it was different for 211 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.720 you it was. Yes, it's a little different when you're there kind of 212 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:35.039 you know, in the area, although you know, for the most part 213 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.799 we're watching it on TV, but we can still hear what's going on because 214 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:43.120 we're still in in the Crypto Center just a little a little ways away. 215 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.600 So all right, sound it sounded good to me. Okay, good? 216 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.440 So what what are some of your takeaways from last night? Well, I 217 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.399 mean, obviously you can't start without talking about Taylor Swift, Yeah, and 218 00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.720 picking up Album of the Year and being the first person to win that four 219 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.440 times, right, she was in a three way tie with Frank Sinatra, 220 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:05.039 Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon, So you know those are that's a that's a 221 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:09.759 pretty mount rushmore of music right there. And to be now the most the 222 00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:15.039 winningest person in that category, right when we always talk about the best of 223 00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.039 all time. In say basketball, people count rings, right, whether it's 224 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:22.120 mj or Kobe or Lebron, you got to count the rings. Well, 225 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:26.200 if you're counting her rings, she's the goat at this point, so you 226 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:30.039 got to give it to her for that. And also using the ceremony to 227 00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:33.840 uh to drop her new album and promote that you know again business savvy, 228 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.360 and she is. She has got a lot of business savvy. So we've 229 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.919 seen that over the past year. Although I have to feel like maybe because 230 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:48.120 of last night, there's gonna start to be a backlash. She had a 231 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:52.879 lot of good will over the past year, right with and with the NFL 232 00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.440 stuff that some people started to complain, But I think those are kind of 233 00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:58.519 you know, there's are there's are outlier complaints of people saying, oh, 234 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.600 there's too multiber with the Grammy wins that that puts it a little bit over 235 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.440 the top. And I think some people say, okay, enough Taylor Swift 236 00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:08.480 already, we get it, she's great, you know, Okay, let's 237 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.960 let's move on. And then I think we would be remiss if we didn't 238 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:18.559 mention jay Z because it definitely affects Taylor Swift. Yeah, great, greatest 239 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:22.080 speech of the night. Well, okay, so are you are you saying 240 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:23.759 that in terms of you think he was shading her? Because I doubt Oh 241 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:26.000 you don't. No, no, no, no, he was he was 242 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:30.080 not, absolutely not. It reminded me of when Kanye wefts Yeah, no, 243 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:33.519 no, and yes, And I can understand why you say it felt 244 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.440 like that and that's because just Taylor Swift kind of permeates everything. But what 245 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:45.279 he was talking about is this really systemic ignoring of certain genres in the main 246 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.720 categories when it comes to rap and when it comes to R and B, 247 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.840 and when it comes to his wife Beyonce not winning the main prizes, and 248 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:56.600 that happens over and over and over again. And that's not Taylor Swift's fault. 249 00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.559 That's that's he the Adamy's fault. I mean, you listened to what 250 00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.960 he said, which was, by the way, is a great speech. 251 00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:10.599 He got the Doctor Dre Global Icon Impact Award, what's the full name of 252 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:15.039 it, the Global Impact Awards, and he gets up there and in front 253 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.720 of in the Grammy's house, talked a lot about it. At first, 254 00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:19.599 he was, you know, kind of gracious, thank you for getting for 255 00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:23.720 giving me this award, but then talked about how several times in his career 256 00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:27.200 when he'd been nominated for stuff, he wasn't there because he was boycotting because 257 00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:32.759 he wasn't happy with the way things were going, and how the Academy you 258 00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:37.599 know, yeah, sure the nominations might be there, but they're not always 259 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:40.559 getting it right. One shot to get it right. We love y'all, 260 00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:42.599 we love y'all, We love y'all. We want Shot to get it right, 261 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:47.200 at least get it close to right. And obviously it's subjective. You 262 00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:52.759 don't got to clap at everything. Obviously obviously is subjective because you know his 263 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:59.000 music and his opinion bas but you know some things, you know, I 264 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:02.359 don't want to embarrass this sh but she has more Grammys than everyone and never 265 00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:06.519 won Album of a Year. So even by your own metrics, that doesn't 266 00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:08.680 work. So he's talking there about his wife, Beyonce, this young lady, 267 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:12.640 and she does she has thirty two I think grammys, never one album 268 00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:18.000 of the year, and that is you know, a travesty. Again, 269 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:19.759 when we go back to the conversations, we always go about when we talk 270 00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:25.640 about rings, right, she so she's you know, thirty two, she's 271 00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:27.640 what she's made the playoff, gone to the championships, yeah, you know, 272 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:32.799 the most times, but never never won that one ring. And that's 273 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:36.359 you know, pretty much in oversight. Yeah, and I do think though 274 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:41.039 one I felt like it was throwing shade at at Taylor, but he and 275 00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:44.720 he also said, well, some of you don't belong in this category, 276 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:48.480 and I thought that that was bad. Yes, but you know, also 277 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:55.039 kind of speaking the truth, which she said he does when he gets nervous, 278 00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:57.960 which I thought, I don't know, there's something great about getting up 279 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:03.720 there on the stage at the thing where everybody is celebrating and talking truth to 280 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.720 the academy and the people who are are doing it. I appreciate that. 281 00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:12.079 I also I one of my favorite lines of it was we heard right there, 282 00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:17.519 y'all don't have to clap at everything. Yeah, that's if they could 283 00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:21.880 run that at every talk show that ever exists in the world, because you 284 00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:25.160 know, whenever anybody says anything, you know, you know. So I 285 00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.599 was. I was on the road the other day in Ohio. Oh, 286 00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:30.640 we don't have to clap in everything, everybody, Okay, we got it. 287 00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:33.039 Just tell the story. You only have a couple of minutes. Just 288 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:37.720 tell the story. So I appreciate it. I loved I love the whole 289 00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:40.640 speech. Also, as I think we've talked about on this show before, 290 00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:45.920 I root for chaos and so any awards show when there's something that you know, 291 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:49.039 yeah, sure Taylor Swift winning is fine, but that's not the most 292 00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:52.640 interesting storyline. You like the unexpected, Yeah, I like, I like 293 00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:59.039 somebody getting slapped about arrested. I like, okay, I don't like somebody 294 00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:02.279 getting arrested. He did get arrested, and we did get arrested, and 295 00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:04.440 I got to say that was that was a big shocker, because so this 296 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:08.119 is killer Mark. He was a rapper. He won Best Rap Album. 297 00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:11.720 But you didn't see any of his wins because they came in the ceremony, 298 00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.160 before the ceremony, because remember there's ninety something Grammys to give out. They 299 00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:18.880 only give out nine on the show. So he won and he won three 300 00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:23.880 and he came backstage before the show even started. But after his wins and 301 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:27.880 he he had, he was great. He was infectious. He gave a 302 00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:33.039 great speech talking about perseverance because you know, he's a little bit of an 303 00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:34.720 older guy and he's been in the game for a while. Yeah, hen't 304 00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:40.160 one on the limitations you have is your imagination. It's our opportunity, it 305 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:44.079 is our must, it is our it is our absolute responsibility to be grand 306 00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:47.720 in every action. So for twenty years I've been saying I can do it, 307 00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:48.559 I can do it, I can do it, and then the twenty 308 00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.240 if year of hip hop, here I am doing it and you know, 309 00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:55.240 inspiring and we're all like, yeah, this guy's awesome. And then he 310 00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:59.440 gets you know, minutes after that bucking right there, he got arrested for 311 00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:07.119 some kind of altercation outside the Crypto Center at and he was it's a misdemeanor, 312 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:11.960 but he was let out in handcuffs. He gets, he wins the 313 00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:15.240 Grammys, gets let out in handcuffs and missed the whole show. That seems 314 00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.839 a little excessive. That sucks. I mean, I don't know, maybe 315 00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:21.240 he pops somebody in the face or something. We don't know what happens. 316 00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:23.440 I also don't know what happened, and you know, maybe it was brutal 317 00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:27.559 and whatever. But talking about the highs and lows of a night and you 318 00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:32.319 know, in just a couple in an hour basically Okay, then real quick 319 00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:33.920 before we let you go, Jason, what did you think of in Memoriam? 320 00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:41.039 I loved it. Yeah, I thought Pantation Perino's performance, the Taylor 321 00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.440 the Tina Turner was awesome. I mean, she she was absolutely great. 322 00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:51.400 Annie Lennox also singing and getting the most political of the night. Yeah, 323 00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:56.680 although you know, calling for a ceasefire in peace is strangely political. I 324 00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.960 guess, but you know that that's where we are in this day and age. 325 00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:03.400 The only real politics of the night of the award show season. So 326 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.240 far, it's been a very quiet when it comes to award shows, which 327 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:08.240 I like. Yeah, it's been quiet. There hasn't been a whole lot 328 00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.240 of politics people have been using that stage, so that's interesting. Yeah. 329 00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:15.680 I thought I liked the I Memorium because a lot of the things, the 330 00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.920 Emmys and the Oscars and stuff, it feels like it's almost an afterthought sometimes. 331 00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:23.240 And I think the Emmys took a hole like they did like fifteen Minutes 332 00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:29.920 and did like a few different performances at Stevie Wonder and Annie Lennox and then, 333 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.720 as you said, Fantasia, and they really kind of let it breathe. 334 00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:37.359 And I think that that gave respect to the people who passed. It's 335 00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.599 a tough thing to do because you have this award show, everybody's happy, 336 00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:42.720 and you do this thing that's, you know, kind of somber, maybe 337 00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:45.599 brings the mood down a little bit. At a show like the Grammy is 338 00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:49.240 you can do that because you could have the live performances there, you know, 339 00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:52.480 at the other award shows it's a little tough. You got to have 340 00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.640 an orchestra doing the thing, and it's gonna be somber. Yeah, you 341 00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:59.519 know. All right. Well, I'm glad you got to get to go, 342 00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:02.480 and I'm sorry that you have to go now, because I could keep 343 00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:04.880 talking to you about this for quite a long time. Stay dry, everybody, 344 00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:10.519 thanks. All right. When we come back, Speaking of staying dry, 345 00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:14.160 we're gonna check in again with our very own Blake Trolley, who's out 346 00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:18.400 in the trenches. He is our KFI storm trooper South. Then weather from 347 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:22.599 KFI heavy rain at times, flood warnings and effect until noon for several areas. 348 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.759 High winds are also expected. There is a chance of rain thunderstorms. 349 00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:30.640 Eight to fourteen inches could fall before this bomb cyclone moves out. The big 350 00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:34.440 storm should move out by tomorrow, but there's still a decent chance of rain 351 00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:37.880 on Wednesday, and then a twenty percent chance of showers. Thursday and Friday 352 00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:41.960 should be dry for the weekend. It's fifty four in Anaheim, fifty seven 353 00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:47.920 in Redondo Beach. You're listening to a wake up call on demand from KFI 354 00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:52.039 Am six forty. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 355 00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:55.440 Downtown LA got almost four inches of rain by eleven o'clock last night as 356 00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:57.720 a powerful storm moves through. More heavy rain is on the way, high 357 00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:02.839 winds and life threatening flood expected to last through at least tomorrow. A state 358 00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:07.119 of emergency has been declared in eight counties, and LA officials are urging people 359 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.319 to stay home and stay off the roads. Along awaited bipartisan deal to secure 360 00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:17.680 the US Mexico border and provide aid to Ukraine has been unveiled. The bill 361 00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:22.519 totals just under one hundred and twenty billion dollars, with about twenty billion going 362 00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:26.319 to the border. In the deal, asylum screenings would be raised, with 363 00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:30.200 the practice known as catch and a release done away with Sofi Stadium's going to 364 00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:33.880 host eight World Cup matches in twenty twenty six, including the first and third 365 00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:38.440 matches for the US men's national team. The US team's first match will be 366 00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:44.200 on June twelfth of twenty twenty six. The World Cup final will be played 367 00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:49.279 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey at six oh five, It's handle on the 368 00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:53.160 news. Hamas is making some big demands in his efforts to put a stop 369 00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:56.359 to the four month long war with Israel. At five point fifty. We're 370 00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:00.960 going to find out more about what's in that bipartisan border bill with ABC's Stephen 371 00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:04.519 Portnoy. But right now, let's check in with our very own Blake Trolley. 372 00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:10.200 You're in Studio City this morning. How come that's because nine homes amy 373 00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:14.799 here have been evacuated because of mud slides last night. I'm on Freeman Canyon 374 00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:18.640 Road near Freeman Canyon Park and just up the street from here is where those 375 00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.640 nine homes were evacuated, forcing sixteen people and their pets out. Official say 376 00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:26.079 two homes here were significantly damage. We're hoping to get a good look at 377 00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:30.279 those homes later this morning when the sun comes up. Now, not all 378 00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:34.920 the homes evacuated were actually impacted, but there are concerns that more mud slides 379 00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:37.519 could be on the way as more rain is on the way, so some 380 00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.880 of these evacuations are precautionary. The Department of Public or the Department of Building 381 00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:48.079 and Safety has responded to evaluate the situation and assess the homes. Heavy equipment 382 00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:49.680 is on sen here to clear debris. And I can tell you, Amy, 383 00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:53.039 just by looking around the roads here that is going to take a while. 384 00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:57.880 There is mud dirt what looks like wood for maybe some of these homes 385 00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:03.000 scattered throughout. The water has been rivering down these streets. In fact, 386 00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:06.079 they tried to get closer to the homes earlier this morning, and at least 387 00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:07.960 from the route that I took, it was just too sketchy to stay where 388 00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:11.599 I was. The water was coming down, it was pretty high, and 389 00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:14.319 I didn't want to get stuck in the news truck quite honestly, So we 390 00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:18.039 decided to come back down a little bit lower. So when the sun comes 391 00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:21.519 up, we're hoping to get in there closer when we can kind of take 392 00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:25.279 a look at the water that's coming down the street better and look at these 393 00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:27.559 homes. Okay, and so that's his studio city. And then there there's 394 00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:32.920 a couple other slides that you had mentioned earlier. Yeah, so three homes 395 00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:37.039 had also been evacuated in Tarzana. Were told that in that situation, only 396 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:40.799 one of the homes I believe was inhabited by two people, So two people 397 00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:45.119 had to be moved out of their homes there. And I want to say 398 00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:48.839 with both of these situations, there were no injuries reported, So there is 399 00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.160 some silver lining here. But despite that, some damage to these homes. 400 00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:57.160 Okay, And if you haven't prepared for this storm yet, you might want 401 00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:00.640 to do it now since the rain's been falling from about four our team fifteen 402 00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:04.440 hours now and is expected to continue. What are officials saying people should be 403 00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:08.440 doing well? I think the big message today is that people should be staying 404 00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:11.119 home if they can, they should work from home if they can, And 405 00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:15.880 that is because flooding in poor roadway conditions seem to be the main focus here. 406 00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:18.319 Amy. You know, I had asked about wind earlier today and I 407 00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:22.680 was told that the majority of the heavy winds have moved through. That said, 408 00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:27.400 we are still expecting heavy rain through today, which should taper off ors 409 00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:32.960 start to slow down into tomorrow, and flooding really is the main concern here. 410 00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:36.119 And as we talk about mudslides, you know, one thing I want 411 00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:38.880 to say is that just because there were mudslides here in the Santa Monicas doesn't 412 00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:44.000 mean other areas aren't also under threat. I was told that all foothill communities 413 00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:47.559 are under a threat for mudslides, So anybody who's in an area that could 414 00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:49.759 be impacted should be on the lookout. There Okay, And on top of 415 00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:55.759 that, there are flood warnings everywhere. There are flood warnings pretty much throughout 416 00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.400 all of southern California, all of the La County areas under a flood watch, 417 00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:03.160 all of Orange Counties under a floodwatch, and same with the Inland Empire. 418 00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:04.839 Now when we look at Orange County, I was told, I was 419 00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:10.440 told by the National Weather Service that pretty much every single community in Orange County 420 00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:12.279 could get more than five inches of rain over the next couple of days. 421 00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:15.799 And I think one of the main things to hone in on here with Orange 422 00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:19.359 County is that their timeline's a little backed up. Right. This storm is 423 00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:23.359 moving southeast, so it's moving through LA and it's kind of heading into Orange 424 00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:26.759 County and out into the Inland Empire. So when we talk about flood warnings 425 00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:30.680 and people keeping a lookout for flooding, when you get south of LA and 426 00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:33.240 you get into Orange County, that's an area you're going to have to be 427 00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:37.480 on the lookout a little bit longer for some of these heavy rains. Okay, 428 00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.880 And ironically, or maybe not ironically, but I thought this was interesting. 429 00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:48.680 The rain isn't only affecting the roadways it's also affecting airports. Yeah, 430 00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:52.559 we're starting to see these reports come out that almost I saw that the majority 431 00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:56.400 of flights out of Burbank were either canceled or delayed because of whether. A 432 00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:00.960 lot of flights out of LAX have been canceled or delayed out of weather, 433 00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.880 especially between LA and San Francisco. You think about it, you're kind of 434 00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:07.119 just flying right through the weather system there. So anybody flying should be checking 435 00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:11.880 the status of their flights this morning. Okay, great Lake Trolley, our 436 00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:14.720 stormtrooper. We're going to be checking in with you throughout the morning. But 437 00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:17.440 thanks for getting up early, joining us on wake up call. I don't 438 00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:19.480 know how you do it, Amy, I'll see you. Take care. 439 00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:22.319 Let's get back to some of the other stories coming out of the KFI twenty 440 00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:26.079 four hour newsroom. Fire has destroyed a two story home in Eagle Rock. 441 00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:32.119 Firefighters say the attic had been converted to a living space and excessive storage caused 442 00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:34.839 the fire to spread quickly. Yesterday, Cruise had to put it out from 443 00:29:34.880 --> 00:29:38.799 the outside. It took them almost an hour to get the flames out. 444 00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:41.400 Two people in the home and their dog were able to get out safely. 445 00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:47.359 Firefighters have rescued several people from a fire in a boarded up thirteen story building 446 00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:51.839 in Korea Town. The fire started yesterday afternoon. La City Fire cruise say 447 00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:55.319 they found a large amount of rubbish burning on the first floor and the smoke 448 00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:56.880 went all the way to the top floor because the building was sealed up. 449 00:29:57.039 --> 00:30:03.200 Took firefighters about half an hour put it out. At least six Kurdish fighters 450 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:07.960 have been killed in a drone attack on a base in Syria that also houses 451 00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:11.599 US troops. No casualties were reported among the Americans. It was the first 452 00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:18.119 significant attack in Syria or Iraq since the US launched retaliatory strikes over the weekend. 453 00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:22.839 An umbrella group of Iran backed Iraqi militias known as the Islamic Resistance in 454 00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:27.359 Iraq released a video claiming responsibility for the attack late yesterday. It showed them 455 00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:33.920 launching a drone from an unnamed location. President Biden says the air strikes against 456 00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:38.720 Iran backed militant groups are working. ABC's James Longman says missiles and drone strikes 457 00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:42.880 have hit eighty six targets in Iraq and Syria, and thirty six targets against 458 00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:48.559 Huti military sites in Yemen. The US officials reiterate they're trying to degrade the 459 00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:53.359 capabilities of Iranian back militias in this region without triggering a wider war. Crucially, 460 00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:59.480 not one US strike into Iran itself. The US has promised more action 461 00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:03.039 in response to the drone attack that killed three US service members at a remote 462 00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:07.839 base in Jordan. California didn't even make the top ten of state's most interested 463 00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:11.640 in Super Bowl fifty eight, despite having a home team playing in the Big 464 00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:14.559 Game. The VATA came in first, which makes sense because the Super Bowl 465 00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:18.759 this Sunday is in Vegas. Researchers at invez dot com found people in Michigan 466 00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:22.200 search for the Super Bowl the second highest among all states because Kansas came in 467 00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:26.160 third, which does make sense because the Chiefs are making their fourth Super Bowl 468 00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:30.000 appearance in five years. California came in thirteen feither because no one likes San 469 00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:33.240 Francisco or Rams and Charger fans can't let go of the disappointment, But California 470 00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:37.519 was the only state where searchers weren't all about Kansas City. Sorry Taylor Swift 471 00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:42.680 fans, Burke Worbin Carson. KFI News bert bert I Like San Francisco, 472 00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:48.119 The Niners are my team. You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from 473 00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:52.799 KFI AM six forty Hurricane force winds have been pounding part of the California coastline. 474 00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:57.640 Gus were recorded up to ninety two miles an hour. Waves could be 475 00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:01.200 eighteen to twenty three feet. A flash flood warning is an effect in many 476 00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:07.799 areas as the powerful bomb cyclone moves through. The storm Prediction Center is warned 477 00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:13.440 of life threatening floods from Monterey to La Rapper Killer Mike left the Grammys early 478 00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:17.240 last night in handcuffs. He was taken into custody and escorted out of Crypto 479 00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:22.759 dot Com arena after he won three Grammys. It was his first Grammy wins 480 00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:24.880 in twenty one years. Please say it was tied to a fight earlier in 481 00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:28.839 the night, but didn't say much more. The Supreme Court's going to hear 482 00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:34.319 arguments Thursday about whether former President Trump should be removed from Colorado's primary ballot. 483 00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:39.000 Colorado's trying to kick him off for violating the Constitution by inciting a crowd leading 484 00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:44.240 up to the Capitol riot on January sixth of twenty twenty one, we're just 485 00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:46.200 minutes away from Handle. On the news this morning, Hoothy rebels say, 486 00:32:46.240 --> 00:32:51.240 if you strike us, we're striking back, and the US did strike them 487 00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:58.079 over the weekend. Let's say good morning now to ABC's national correspondent Stephen portnoy 488 00:32:58.200 --> 00:33:01.039 So. Stephen, after a really long wait, the Senate finally released details 489 00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:07.079 of its bipartisan border bill. Well, that's right, and now we've had 490 00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:08.759 a chance to finally see what's in it. Three hundred and seventy pages. 491 00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:13.319 I've been going through it since it dropped last night, and the Speaker of 492 00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:15.039 the House, Mike Johnson, who first laid eyes on it last night, 493 00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:19.279 says that it's worse than he expected, and so it's not going to get 494 00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:22.599 a vote in his chamber. What's in this bill? Well, first of 495 00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:25.400 all, to one hundred and eighteen billion dollars spending bill, the lion's share 496 00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:29.559 of the money would go to Ukraine, sixty billion dollars in money for Israel, 497 00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:31.599 Taiwan, all the things we've been talking about for most of the last 498 00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:36.119 six months. But in addition to that, there are the border provisions, 499 00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:39.039 and it would grow the border Patrol's detention capacity, it would grow the border 500 00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:45.960 patrol's ability to swiftly deport people. It would aim to make it harder for 501 00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:50.279 migrants to seek asylum when they come here, and it would temporarily shut down 502 00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:54.039 most border crossings if a certain threshold is met, and the threshold that has 503 00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:59.160 been set is lower than the current number of encounters that the border patrol has 504 00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:02.599 been seeing of late. So the top Republican negotiator in this Jim Langford, 505 00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:07.920 says this would immediately result in a border shutdown to the extent that the border 506 00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:10.320 would be shut down, which is to say that people would be turned away 507 00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:15.199 without their asylum claims being heard, except that there would be a minimum number 508 00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:21.519 of asylum claims that would be heard despite that. So the detractors of this 509 00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:24.760 bill are many. They are mainly Conservatives who say that this in their in 510 00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:30.519 their reading of it, would actually codify catch and release and not end catch 511 00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:37.320 and release. They say that it would it would allow for people to be 512 00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:44.400 entering the country regardless of the saying the argument that it would that it would 513 00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:47.639 not, and they simply say that it doesn't go far enough that HR two, 514 00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:52.079 the bill they passed last year, articulates the conservative position on illegal immigration 515 00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:57.679 and they don't see a lot of overlap between what the House passed last year 516 00:34:57.719 --> 00:35:00.880 and what is now agreed to among by part negotiators in the Senate. Now, 517 00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:05.719 liberals say that it goes too far, that it raises the bar too 518 00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:10.199 high for asylum seekers and contravention of international law and America's principles. They say 519 00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:15.679 that there are no pathways to citizenship for those who've been here illegally for years, 520 00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:21.719 and that that's always been the goal of immigration reform negotiations to achieve some 521 00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:25.639 sort of pathway to citizenship for the people who've been living in limbo as increasingly 522 00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:31.280 productive members of American society and the economy. And that's despite the fact that 523 00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:36.559 detractors say they call it an amnesty bill. It's not that there are no 524 00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:40.199 amnesty provisions in this but there are arguments on both sides against this bill, 525 00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:46.079 and it's why it will likely never become law. Okay, so the Senate 526 00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:50.800 actually passed it, correct? No, Oh, they just put it up. 527 00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:53.440 Yes, it was released last night. It is the subject that by 528 00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:58.280 partisan negotiations with a small number of members of both parties, that it goes 529 00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:00.320 for a test vote on Wednesday. So that's how they were saying that it 530 00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:05.679 has bipartisan support. It's because the small group got together and from both sides 531 00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:08.079 and came up with the deal. And this is old fashioned Senate deal making. 532 00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:10.760 You've heard of the Gang of eight, Gang of twelve, all this. 533 00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:15.039 That's how it happens in the Senate. A small number of members of 534 00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:17.039 both sides of the aisle get together and they cook up something and it's served 535 00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:21.679 up for everybody. And the question is whether it's going to be accepted by 536 00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:24.920 members of both parties in the Senate to become formally the Senate bill, or 537 00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:28.639 whether it's going to be rejected. We'll find out on Wednesday. It's a 538 00:36:28.679 --> 00:36:32.280 sixty vote threshold. It'll probably clear that hurdle, and then it'll be subject 539 00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:37.320 to possible amendments, although I think it's unlikely because of the nature of the 540 00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:40.119 way this is such a delicate negotiation. The Senate Leader Chuck Schumer can sort 541 00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:44.719 of nail it down so it can't be amended or opened up on the floor, 542 00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:46.440 and then it'll be sent over to the House where the speaker says it's 543 00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:51.960 dead on arrival. So the idea of this becoming law is very unlikely. 544 00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:57.159 But then it also gives the Democrats ammunition to say, hey, we passed 545 00:36:57.199 --> 00:37:00.119 something, and it's the Republicans in the way we are in an election year. 546 00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:01.880 Well, that's right, and that's, by the way, one of 547 00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:07.800 the reasons why Republicans in the House are not interested because they're presumptive. Well, 548 00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:10.519 I won't say presumptive yet, but the man who is leading for the 549 00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:15.079 Republican nominations has called it a terrible bill and he does not want to see 550 00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:19.440 it past. His son, Donald Trump Junior, was saying on social media 551 00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:22.800 last night that it's an amnesty bill. Again, no amnesty provisions actually in 552 00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:29.239 the bill, but they do not want to see cynically this problem solved in 553 00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:32.400 any way, because Donald Trump intends to run on the fact that this problem 554 00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:36.920 continues to exist and that he argues only he can solve it. Now, 555 00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:38.800 one of the arguments for it, one of the best arguments for it, 556 00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:44.119 is the idea that the status quo is unacceptable and that this in the reform 557 00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:50.440 of the system, allows for change. Now that it would end the current 558 00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:54.760 practice of thousands of migrants a day being handed a slip of paper if they 559 00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:59.840 simply say the magic words I have a credible fear of persecution, and I'm 560 00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:02.480 afraid for X, Y and Z reason they're handed a piece of paper, 561 00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:07.559 come back in five to seven years, enjoy America. That's basically the current 562 00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:12.760 system. And so the idea would be, instead of that, we will 563 00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:17.920 hoard people into these detention facilities and within ninety days, in theory, they 564 00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:24.719 will have an initial review with a higher standard than exists currently for asylum claims. 565 00:38:25.320 --> 00:38:30.719 And the thinking is that most of them will be sent away right then 566 00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:34.840 and there, and the signal will be sent that the days of coming into 567 00:38:34.840 --> 00:38:38.079 the country and you know, integrating yourself into American society, that those days 568 00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:43.920 are over and that America is once again serious about enforcing its immigration law. 569 00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:47.480 The argument from conservative opponents is that's nice, but it doesn't go far enough, 570 00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:52.480 that it's already too permissive, and that we can do better. Okay, 571 00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:55.400 well, we'll have to wait and see that the Senate's taking a vote 572 00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:58.800 on it, at least a first vote on Wednesday, right, So the 573 00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:02.039 stmotion to seed it is a test vote, a hurtled across all right, 574 00:39:02.079 --> 00:39:06.159 we'll be watching that. ABC. Stephen Portnoy, thank you for the information. 575 00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:08.000 As always, Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of 576 00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:12.599 the KMFI twenty four hour newsroom.

ABC's Derek Dennis says workers flagged 592 00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:25.360 miss drilled holes on the window frames of fifty undelivered planes, but this time 593 00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:30.800 Boeing says the miss drilled holes pose no immediate flight safety risk and says all 594 00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:36.320 seven thirty sevens can continue to fly safely. The company said over the weekend 595 00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:40.480 the delay will affect its production schedule, but will improve overall quality and stability. 596 00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:45.719 A rock music revolutionary from the late sixties and early seventies has died. 597 00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:52.559 Wayne Kramer was co founder of the proto punk band the MC five.

Kramer play guitar for the band. 600 00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:05.079 They were known for their uncompromising music, which they envisioned as the soundtrack for 601 00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:09.400 the Uprising to Come.
