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 --> 00:00:11.720 demand on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome to Monday, February twenty six. This 3 00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:15.599 is your wake up call. I'm Amy King. Good Monday morning for you. 4 00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:18.519 I hope you had a good weekend. I was kind of expecting to 5 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:21.640 wake up to rain, but now we have a chance of rain a little 6 00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.440 bit later today, so and then we've got another storm headed our way for 7 00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.039 the weekend. Isn't that fun? But we'll get a break in between. 8 00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:31.879 So in preparation for the rain, I decided I was going to hunker down 9 00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:37.520 for the weekend, and I finally started watching Yellowstone. I know it's like 10 00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.920 ten years old, Tony, don't give me that look, but I did. 11 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:43.159 And now, of course I'm hooked, but I don't know that I 12 00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:47.399 love it as much as everybody says they that they have loved it. I 13 00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:52.359 love Kevin Costner, I like the show. I'm hooked. I pretty much 14 00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:57.359 wasted my weekend watching it. But anyway, I'll let you know what I 15 00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:00.280 think when i'm done. You guys probably already know because you probably already watched. 16 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.480 I think I'm the only one who hasn't, But anyway, here's what's 17 00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:07.519 ahead on wake up call this Monday morning, crews have begun putting bigger, 18 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:14.120 stronger fencing around the tagged towers in downtown LA. The unfinished high rise has 19 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:18.879 been covered in graffiti recently. Last week, the LA City Council approved one 20 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.519 point eight million dollars in funding to secure the building, which someone broke into 21 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:29.560 and base jumped off of earlier this month. Cruise in San Clementi are about 22 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:34.120 to start work on a one hundred and sixty foot tall retaining wall along train 23 00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.280 tracks. The goal is to create a barrier to prevent land movement and mud 24 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.319 slides that have covered the tracks. Following recent heavy rains, the rail lines 25 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:48.359 closed down until at least late March. Ronald McDaniel is stepping down as chairwoman 26 00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:51.799 of the Republican National Committee. She announced this morning that she's going to resign 27 00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:57.560 next month after former President Trump endorsed North Carolina Republican Chairman Michael Wattley for the 28 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.680 job. McDaniel's been the chair of the RICE since twenty seventeen. At six 29 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:06.239 oh five, it's handle on the news. Nikki Haley got thumped by Trump 30 00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:08.319 in her own state, but says she's still in it to win it. 31 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:12.360 Bill's going to weigh in on that. Let's start with some of the stories 32 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.159 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Police in la are trying 33 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:19.479 to find a woman who grabbed a four year old boy at a Target store 34 00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.159 in Koreatown. They say the woman put the kid down yesterday and took off 35 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:27.719 when she was confronted by the boy's parents outside the store. The woman is 36 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.280 black, about forty five foot five, one hundred and fifty pounds. A 37 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:35.439 man believed to have been racing in a Chevy Camaro has been killed in a 38 00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:40.240 crash that involved at least four vehicles in Resita. The crash late yesterday morning 39 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:46.159 damaged some parked cars and sheared off a fire hydrant. Paramedics say eleven people 40 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.560 were evaluated at the crash site. Six were taken to the hospital. The 41 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:53.599 driver of a Dodge Charger was treated for minor injuries then booked on suspicion of 42 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:59.639 murder. Nikki Haley has lost the Republican presidential primary in her home state to 43 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.039 former President Trump, but she says that's not the end of her campaign. 44 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:07.560 She held a rally last night in Michigan ahead of that state's primary tomorrow. 45 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:15.240 Okay, those first early states, they can say Donald Trump won. I 46 00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:21.319 give him that, but he as a Republican in coumbent didn't get forty percent 47 00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.960 of the vote of the primary. Trump won South Carolina by about twenty points 48 00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:31.479 on Saturday. He won every Republican primary so far. Florida Congressman Byron Donalds 49 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:38.080 has defended former President Trump over some remarks the NCAA or the NAACP and others 50 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:44.759 have called racist. Trump told black conservatives on Friday that all the indictments against 51 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:50.159 him have increased his appeal with black voters. Congressman Donalds told me the press, 52 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.759 the government is going after Trump with foolishness. This is political persecution from 53 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:59.000 the Department of Justice and from radical das throughout our country. This is something 54 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.159 similar that black pepeople had to deal with the justice system themselves. Tump recently 55 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:08.000 confirmed that Donald's is on his short list of possible running mates. That spacecraft 56 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:11.800 that landed on the Moon last week has tipped over. Steve Altimus says the 57 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.240 Moonlander performed as designed, but as it touched down, one of its legs 58 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.360 hit the surface. At the wrong angle. The vehicle is stable near or 59 00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:23.680 at our intended landing site. Ultimus is the CEO of Intuitive Machines, the 60 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.920 private company that built and launched the spacecraft for NASA. He says, the 61 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:32.240 lander came in sideways and we came down and touched down at about six miles 62 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:38.360 an hour with a downrange traverse of about two miles an hour. Ultimus says, 63 00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:42.439 nothing appears to be broken. Steve Gregory King, if I News it's 64 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.800 five six, let's say good morning now to ABC's Jordana Miller. Jordana, 65 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:53.560 we may have movement on a ceasefire deal. What's the latest. Well, 66 00:04:53.680 --> 00:05:00.879 Iseel and the mediators for Hama, led by the United States, a very 67 00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:08.000 successful round of negotiations this weekend in Paris, and it looks like there's some 68 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:13.000 room for optimism. That is that a framework has been agreed on. The 69 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.839 deal is still not closed. There are still some gaps, but it feels 70 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:25.120 like we're moving closer to a deal that would see a six week ceasefire in 71 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:30.800 the Godza stret in exchange for the release of forty Israeli hostages. Among them 72 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.319 now all the women, not just the civilian women, but even those younger 73 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:43.319 Israeli female soldiers that Israel is so concerned about, given the very credible testimony 74 00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.879 that some of them had already been assaulted in captivity. So those young girls 75 00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:54.319 nineteen twenty will come out, along with the elderly and the injured, and 76 00:05:54.519 --> 00:06:00.439 in exchange, Israel now says it is willing to release hundreds of power and 77 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:06.720 prisoners in exchange for just those forty Israeli hostages. So that is some flexibility 78 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:12.639 shown on the Israeli side. We are still here in Druth form waiting to 79 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:18.360 hear exactly the response from Hamas. It might take another day or two because 80 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:23.360 it has to go through into the Gaza strip, the Cinoir, the head 81 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:28.040 of Hamas, who's there somewhere in the tunnel Tiden, and then his response 82 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.519 has to come back out. So we're gonna have to wait and see. 83 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:39.199 But this is a step forward for sure. Doesn't guarantee we have a deal, 84 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:43.120 no, but this is the most progress we've seen in many, many 85 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.279 weeks. Okay and Jordana, you mentioned that it was forty hostages. We 86 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:54.160 know that several of them are already dead. Does it say live hostages? 87 00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:59.279 They are live hostages. That are out in the first round. Yes, 88 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:04.439 there are alive. The bodies will come out later, okay, in another 89 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:09.480 phase of this deal. Okay. And you mentioned that the two bodies you 90 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:13.480 mentioned that it's uh women are coming out. Do we have any word on 91 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:19.759 US hostages or US citizens who are hostage. So there are six hostages that 92 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:25.680 are still presumed to be alive, to have already been declared dead. An 93 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:30.519 older couple that were on a walk in their in their community that morning of 94 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.040 October seven. They were both murdered in their bodies taken to Gaza. The 95 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:40.439 six that are alive, there's one young American man in his twenties, Kirsch 96 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:45.399 Goldberg Pollen. His parents actually lived not far from me. His arm was 97 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:49.399 severely injured by a grenade on the day of the attack. But he's a 98 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:55.439 medic and he was able to to close, you know, close the bleeding 99 00:07:55.639 --> 00:08:01.920 and walk out and be taken a hostage to to Gaza. And if be 100 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:07.199 injured, he may fall into the category be injured in this first group of 101 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.399 forty, and he may come out, even though he's technically a man. 102 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.079 So there's a little bit of hope that maybe Kirsha will come out okay. 103 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:22.680 And as we're waiting for Hamas to respond to this net and Yahoo was on 104 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:31.960 us TV yesterday saying we're going into Rafa ceasefire or not right, Well, 105 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.559 the Prime Minister says we're going to go to Rafa and fight Hamas there. 106 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.879 He's not going to do it during the seat fire, but he's saying that 107 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:46.039 a seat fire would only delay it. So if the seat fire breaks down 108 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.120 and we'll go to Rafa, if the seat fire is not extended and the 109 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.039 Israeli soldiers are not released or the body's not released and the war starts up 110 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.000 again as well, we'll go into Rafa, not before, you know, 111 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:03.440 before they try to evacuate the civilians. And Natanielle has now begun to present 112 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.200 the cabins, the war cabinet with those plans who don't know exactly what they 113 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.120 are yet that they are they have been devised and they're in the process of 114 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.440 being finalized. None of this is really imminent. So Nathaniel we have to 115 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:22.240 remember Nathaniell is using the Rafa operation to put pressure on Hamas and the negotiations. 116 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:24.000 That's part of the strategy here. Okay, okay, And just to 117 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:30.480 refresh everyone's memory. So Rafa is down in the far south end of by 118 00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.600 Egypt. That's right, Okay, all right, it's a city on the 119 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.440 border, that's right. Okay. Jor Dana Miller, thank you so much. 120 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:39.919 We'll keep our fingers crossed that they can come to some sort of a 121 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.159 deal. God willing. All right, let's get back to some of the 122 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.919 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Four people in Riverside 123 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:52.000 County have been arrested for fraud. The Riverside County Sheriff's Apartment served a search 124 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.919 warrant to the city of Hemmett on Saturday afternoon around one thirty. During the 125 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.480 search, deputies allegedly found counterfeit ID cards, fake checks, and the machines 126 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:03.320 used to make them. Among the ID cards were also counterfeit state and federal 127 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.080 military credentials. But the list goes on because the department also says that they 128 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.919 discovered modified tools that would be used to open community mailboxes. Meth, mushrooms, 129 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:15.879 and fetinal pills were also allegedly confiscated. All four suspects, all from 130 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:20.919 the Inland Empire, are all facing felony fraud related charges. Andrew Caravella KFI 131 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.399 News. Senators are said to be sworn in as jurors for the impeachment trial 132 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:30.360 of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Majorcis, but it may not get much further than 133 00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:33.559 that. Senate leaders have shown little interest in spending much time on the effort. 134 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:39.320 House Republicans impeached Majorcis earlier this month over the Biden administration's handling of the 135 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:45.000 US Mexico border. The group Human Rights Watch says Israel is not complying with 136 00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:48.360 an order from the UN's top court because it is failing to provide urgently needed 137 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:52.480 aid to people in the Gaza Strip. The International Court of Justice ordered Israel 138 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:58.519 last month to follow six provisional measures. Israel denies it is restricting the entry 139 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:03.440 of aid and has blamed humanitarian organizations operating inside Gaza. The man accused of 140 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:09.200 killing a nursing student in Athens, Georgia has been ordered held without bail. 141 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:15.559 Judge Donna Reel Green said Saturday. Jose Ebarra is a non citizen from Venezuela. 142 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:22.240 Mister Ibarra has been charged with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated battery, 143 00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:30.480 aggravated assault, false imprisonment, kidnapping, obstructing an emergency call, and 144 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:37.000 concealing the death of another person. The young woman Lake and Riley, disappeared 145 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.080 Thursday while out for a jog. Her body was found the next day in 146 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.480 a wooded area on the University of Georgia campus. AT and T says customers 147 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:48.840 are getting a credit for the network outage that left tens of thousands of phone 148 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:54.759 users without cell service. ABC's Chuck Steverertson says the companies apologize to customers for 149 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.919 the outage last week. AT and T says it recognizes the frustration the outage 150 00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:03.039 caused, disrupting people from connecting with family, friends, and others and filing 151 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.919 up small business connections with customers. So AT and T says it's proactively applying 152 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.960 a credit to their accounts for the average cost of a full day of service 153 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:16.559 five dollars. The company has said the outage was caused by a coding error, 154 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.679 not a cyber attack. It says it is taking steps to prevent any 155 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:26.960 more outages like this from happening again. Well, the SAG Awards happened again. 156 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:31.879 They actually happened over the weekend on Saturday evening, and they were live 157 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.960 streams, so it's the first big awards show to be live streamed. And 158 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:39.720 SAG Awards are voted on by the actors. They're acting awards only, so 159 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.399 you don't get like Best Director or something like that. And when we were 160 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:48.159 talking to ABC's Jason Nathanson on Friday, I said, do these really have 161 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:50.279 an impact? And he said yeah, because a lot of the Academy members 162 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.720 are also actors and so they can be a good precursor. So if this 163 00:12:54.919 --> 00:13:01.960 is a precursor, I think most of the awards were pretty expected. I 164 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.519 did a tallly of like what I thought would win and then what I wanted 165 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:09.879 to win, and the ones that I wanted to win didn't win that often. 166 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.080 But the ones that I thought would win, I think I only got 167 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:18.440 two of them wrong. But kind of interesting. So the Outstanding Performance for 168 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:24.399 Male in a Movie or a TV movie or Limited series, Oh wait, 169 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:26.039 this was for TV, so it doesn't really count for the Academy Awards, 170 00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:30.000 but I still think it was interesting. The show Beef, did you see 171 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.720 that about the people who they get into a car crash and then how it 172 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:39.679 kind of destroys both of their lives, both the female and male won Best 173 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:46.639 Actor and Actress for that, and my biggest surprise of the evening was that 174 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.759 Pedro Pascal won for the Last of Us, which I think is great because 175 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:52.399 I loved him in that show, but I was really expecting one of the 176 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:58.360 Succession guys to get it. Succession won for Best Ensemble and a Drama Series, 177 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.080 and then I wanted hot Hannah Waddington to win for ted Lasso, not 178 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.320 only because I think she is incredible, but I love that show and I 179 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.720 was there last year, but it was I can't say her name, io 180 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:16.679 Eda Biri from The Bear, who also was fantastic. And then in the 181 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.480 movie categories, Lily Gladstone got Killers of the Flower Moon she won Best Actress. 182 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:24.720 I think it should have been Emma Stone. As much as I didn't 183 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.200 love Poor Things, I think Emma Stone was just phenomenal in that role. 184 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.200 And then Killian Murphy was kind of the shoe in for Oppenheimer, even though 185 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:35.480 I wanted Paul Giamatti, but Killy and Murphy want it. And then Oppenheimer 186 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:39.360 won for Best Ensemble Cast, which I totally agree with. Oh and Robert 187 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.759 Downey Junior won for Best Supporting Actor for Oppenheimer so we shall see when the 188 00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:46.600 Academy Awards roll around. Are they this weekend? I think they might be. 189 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:52.240 Whatever it is, I'll be watching when we come back. It's time 190 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:56.120 for a little refresher course on cell phone etiquette, because yes, it is 191 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:58.960 a thing, and if you're like me, you're probably already breaking the rules. 192 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.240 You're listening to a wake up call on demand from KFI Am six forty. 193 00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.720 Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The De 194 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.960 la mol Fashion Center in Torrens is cracking down on out of control teams and 195 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:18.039 fights at them all. They're launching a chaperone policy starting this Friday. Anyone 196 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:24.200 under eighteen has to be accompanied by an adult after three pm Fridays and Saturdays. 197 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:26.360 Nikki Hayley says she's still in it to win it. She lost to 198 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:31.960 former President Trump in South Carolina's Republican primary on Saturday, but says she's a 199 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.399 woman of her word and will continue her campaign to win the presidential nomination Michigan's 200 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:41.039 primaries tomorrow. The lunar lander that touched down on the Moon last week tipped 201 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:45.679 over, but operators say it's still alive and well the Odysseus Lander is the 202 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:48.639 first US spacecraft on the Moon in more than fifty years. It's transmitting data 203 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:54.200 back to the NASA needs for a crude Moon mission that's planned for twenty twenty 204 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.919 six. At six oh five, it's handle on the news and here we 205 00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.919 are again, after kicking the can down the road. The government will run 206 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:06.519 out of money on Friday of Congress doesn't agree to a funding plan. Okay, 207 00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:11.039 so we're gonna talk about cell phone etiquette because and producer A and I 208 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:17.360 were working on a on a segment that's something that we talk about basically, 209 00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:22.840 and we were talking to our very own Blake Trolley or we were texting with 210 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:23.639 him, saying, hey, Blake, can you hook us up? We 211 00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:30.879 need a contact for this. And what does Blake do? He calls us, 212 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.879 He calls us, He calls us. And we have heard through the 213 00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:40.720 grapevine that if you text Blake, he doesn't text you back. He calls 214 00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:45.039 you. And Anne, who is a very busy woman, said I don't 215 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.399 have time for this. No, not in that way. I'm just like 216 00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:49.799 guess, I mean, that's awesome, that's the way to get the answer 217 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:55.320 right away, right, But no text, text text text text text, 218 00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:57.639 So I did a little digging to find out, like, because it was 219 00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:02.480 weird that he called an which is stupid that it's weird that he called because 220 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:03.920 normally, like you said, you want an answer, you call somebody, 221 00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:07.839 And that's how I am too. If I want, if I need an 222 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.799 answer, I either call them and continue to call them, or like if 223 00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:15.599 you're in the office, just go chase them down until you find them, 224 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:19.519 right because you get answery if my mother calls me, what is she what? 225 00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:23.000 What? What does she possibly need that can't be said in a text 226 00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:26.720 sentence? Okay, well, then let's go over some cell phone etiquette, 227 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:32.440 Anne, because I looked it up. So first of all, it is 228 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:37.599 it is protocol now to text somebody before you call them, with an exception 229 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:41.039 of friends or family members. So your mom has a pass on calling. 230 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:45.559 Really, yes, friends and family, But if you're gonna, if you 231 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:49.960 want to talk to somebody else, you're supposed to text them first. Are 232 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:52.920 you available to talk right now? Exactly? Because you don't want to get 233 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.920 in their way because everybody's so busy. And then here's something else that I 234 00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:00.759 uh. If you do call, and you do, you leave a message. 235 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.519 You're supposed to leave your full name and your phone number and not assume 236 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.079 that just because your phone number is going to show up that they know who 237 00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:11.599 it is or what your first and last name is, right, which that's 238 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:15.759 kind of a given right. Uh, you are not supposed to as a 239 00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:19.200 general rule, FaceTime anybody? Oh god, no, no, what is 240 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:22.119 wrong with these people? I would never pick up a FaceTime call at home. 241 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.759 I mean like I would arrange it, like and I've even been on 242 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.839 the phone with friends and they try to initiate it. And they try to 243 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:33.400 initiate it, I'm like, oh no, I don't have makeup on. 244 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:36.440 I don't want to do that out of here. Yeah. So and the 245 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:40.039 other thing is, again, even like the conversations we used to have, 246 00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:44.079 I'm always dumbfounded by this because like Nick and I are pretty tight. Nick, 247 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:48.200 are you there? Yeah, I'm here. I am. I don't 248 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:52.519 think I've ever heard this many words out of Anne's mouth. I'm so but 249 00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:56.799 speaking you understand, speaking of words out of mouths. Nick and I are 250 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.599 pretty tight. We never talk on the phone like maybe once really once a 251 00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:04.440 month if that okay? Lobably yeah, and it's it's usually after we've already 252 00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:07.640 done the etiquette thing of like, hey, can you talk. We got 253 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:10.240 to cover a couple of things real quick. So yeah, right, okay, 254 00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:12.799 but it's so that's just the way of the world. Now. So 255 00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:15.920 here's another one that I just found out, and I don't know if you 256 00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:21.880 guys know this, but it is now okay according to etiquette people to use 257 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:26.519 all lowercase without punctuation the bugs. That seems sloppy. It does. It 258 00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.599 just seems lazy, lazy, and too many times for me personally, if 259 00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:34.160 there's not a period versus a question mark, there's too many things that I'm 260 00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:37.359 confused by. If that makes sense, Are you asking me or telling me? 261 00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:44.720 It does a lot automatically capitalize the first letter, and then if you 262 00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:47.680 do two spaces a, it's a, it's a period. I don't think 263 00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:49.839 it automatically does that. But like if you write don't, it'll put the 264 00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:53.279 apostrophe in there for you. Yeah, if you have the autocorrect on. 265 00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:56.079 But I don't know. So okay, When is it okay to leave a 266 00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:03.799 voicemail? Always? Never it's it's okay to leave from a voicemail. Oh 267 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.599 my god, I don't listen. Well, that's Exactly what this says is 268 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:12.000 a lot of people don't listen to the voice transcript, right, That is 269 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.839 why. Yeah, that's exactly why, because it's super helpful in that regard. 270 00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:18.200 And also you have to, like you already said, Amy, you 271 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:22.000 need to leave your name and your number because even like AT and T specifically 272 00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:27.200 the transcript thing, it won't let the message get to the person because it's 273 00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:30.759 verifying that you're actually a human being and not a robocall. So by giving 274 00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:34.559 those detailed information, those pieces of information, it verifies it's to your human 275 00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:38.079 being, okay, and it's and apparently it's never okay to leave a long 276 00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:44.319 winded voicemail okay, guilty as charge. I've done that a few times, 277 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:52.359 okay, uh randomly FaceTime no oh, business correspondence professional. I'm not good 278 00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:55.079 at this. You're not supposed to put emojis in your text, but I 279 00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:57.279 do almost always. Oh, I always do on texts. I do. 280 00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:03.000 Because you cannot convey emotion. You can't say hi, it's great to see 281 00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:06.599 you, or hey, I haven't heard from you for a while, because 282 00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:10.240 I mean even that, hey I haven't heard from you for a while, 283 00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:12.640 like are you mad? Exactly can you take it so many ways. Yes, 284 00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:17.519 exactly. Yeah. Still not okay to have your smartphone at the dinner 285 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:22.319 table or during meetings and use your inside voice and watch your language when you 286 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.279 are talking on your cell phone. That I totally get. Yeah, okay, 287 00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:29.839 people shouldn't do that, Nick, I'll text you fine. Sounds good, 288 00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:34.559 good. It was great to hear you.

She won in just three of the state's forty six counties 336 00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:48.960 in South Carolina, state where she twice was elected the governor, so she's 337 00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:53.799 staying in the race. Tomorrow's contest in Michigan is the next one, and 338 00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:56.640 then, of course, a week from tomorrow is the Super Tuesday contest in 339 00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:02.359 more than a dozen states, including the biggest of California. In many of 340 00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:07.119 these contests, there are rules that are favorable to a frontrunner such as Donald 341 00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:08.480 Trump. In fact, in the state of California, with one hundred and 342 00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:14.759 sixty nine delegates at play, if the statewide winner tops fifty percent its winner 343 00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:18.160 take all. Donald Trump achieved that in South Carolina, he could perform as 344 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.480 well in your state, Well, then he'll walk away with all one hundred 345 00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:25.759 and sixty nine delegates. So between now and next Tuesday, Niki Haley is 346 00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:27.359 going to be spending time in states that have different rules, for example, 347 00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:32.079 Texas, where it's winner take all by congressional district if you win a majority 348 00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:34.480 of the votes in that congressional district. So she's going to be playing in 349 00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:41.160 places I imagine like Austin and Houston and Dallas metropolitan cosmopolitan areas where she can 350 00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.599 hope to perform better than Donald Trump in those places and try to win as 351 00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:51.119 many delegates as she possibly can. But all this is happening as the influential 352 00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:56.400 Coke backed network Americans for Prosperity Action said over the weekend that it's no longer 353 00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:00.480 going to support Nikki Haley, having given money to her effort for months. 354 00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:03.200 They're going to and these are this is me putting words in my mouth in 355 00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:08.319 their mouth find other places to spend their money more efficiently and effectively. Are 356 00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:12.079 they Trump supporters? I mean they were Haley. But are they gonna now 357 00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:15.720 support Trump. No, no, they're not. But the idea is they're 358 00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:19.000 no longer backing Haley and they're going to put resources, perhaps into statewide and 359 00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:25.839 congressional races. The other element of news this morning is that Donald Trump is 360 00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:30.279 now urging Republicans to rally behind his choices to lead the Republican National Committee. 361 00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:33.119 Ronald McDaniel, who's led the party as its chair for the last eight years, 362 00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.799 is stepping down at the end of next week at the former president's urging. 363 00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:41.200 His choices include Michael Wattley, who is the chair of the Republican Party 364 00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:47.200 in North Carolina and a big time election denier, and Lara Trump, who 365 00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:49.839 is the former president's daughter in law, is his choice to be co chair 366 00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:55.279 of the party. Originally, didn't we hear that he wanted her to head 367 00:26:55.319 --> 00:27:00.119 the party. Well, the rules have it that you have to have two 368 00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:07.200 different genders in the chair and co chair role. So he's decided that he 369 00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:11.759 would rather have Michael Wattley as chair and then Laura Trump as co chair. 370 00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:14.480 It's not up to him, though, it's up to voters of the Republican 371 00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:18.200 National Committee. It's the former president's endorsement. However, that carries a lot 372 00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:23.720 of weight, right and for Nicki Hayley. So the Koch brothers who have 373 00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:26.759 a ton of money, they're pulling their funding. That could get in her 374 00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:30.880 way because she was even though she wasn't winning, she was still getting funding, 375 00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:34.200 so why not keep going? Well, that's why she's going to She 376 00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:38.599 still has campaign cash to spend, and she's going to be spending more than 377 00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:41.839 at least a million dollars. I'm not sure exactly how many much. It's 378 00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:47.680 been described as a seven figure sum on television and radio advertising in the key 379 00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:52.640 states that are voting next Tuesday. And that's her right, it's her opportunity, 380 00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:56.559 and she'll do it. And then likely a week from Wednesday, we'll 381 00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:59.759 be speaking on this station at this time to describe all the states where Donald 382 00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:03.400 Trump. Okay, and we will look forward to it. Stephen Porteno, 383 00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:06.759 I thank you so much. All Right, let's get back to some of 384 00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:10.119 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Of vigil has 385 00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:15.119 been held in Westlake Village for the two young brothers killed by Rebecca Grossman. 386 00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:18.720 She was found guilty Friday of murder and other charges for the crash in twenty 387 00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:25.279 twenty that killed Jacob and Mark Iskander. Family friend Jennifer Nagel tells KTLA the 388 00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:29.359 boys parents are thankful for the support, but we're not up to being at 389 00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:33.599 the vigil yesterday. Just affected so many people, so many waves of this 390 00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:41.200 tragedy going through everybody. It affected me personally. Mark used to play at 391 00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:45.519 my house. Grossman is facing up to thirty four years to life in prison 392 00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:48.599 when she sentenced. In April. News brought to you by Simper Solaris, 393 00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:53.799 a study by the National Association for Business Economics shows twenty twenty four looks to 394 00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:57.319 be a better year for the economy than experts were forecasting just a few months 395 00:28:57.359 --> 00:29:00.880 ago. The survey found the economy I mean looks set to grow two point 396 00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:06.880 two percent this year after adjusting for inflation. That's up from an earlier projection 397 00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:11.119 of one point three percent. The Supreme Court is set to hear cases related 398 00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:15.480 to the content social media companies should allow on their platforms. ABC's Derek Dennis's 399 00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:21.559 Texas and Florida are pushing laws that would ban social media companies from restricting contents. 400 00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:26.079 The Florida law bans tech companies from suspending the accounts of political candidates. 401 00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:30.640 The Texas law makes it illegal for tech companies to remove political content based on 402 00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:34.200 someone's viewpoint, even if it's hate speech. Supporters of the laws say social 403 00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:40.799 media platforms have been censoring users, especially those with conservative or religious views. 404 00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:45.440 People in New York have been leaving flowers, letters, and other items remembering 405 00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:51.200 Flocco the Owl at his favorite tree in Central Park. The Eurasian eagle owl 406 00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:53.720 died last week when it flew into the side of a building in Manhattan then 407 00:29:53.799 --> 00:29:57.359 hit the ground. I would bet that if Flaco could choose, he would 408 00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:02.759 choose his year of freedom. Even though he died, he died free, 409 00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:07.480 as opposed to being trapped in a cage alone. Flocko had been flying over 410 00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:11.000 the city since February of last year, when someone broke into the Central Park 411 00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:15.680 Zoo and freed him. Police they're still trying to find whoever did that. 412 00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:19.839 You're listening to Wake Up Call on Demand from KFI Am six forty. Get 413 00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:22.359 in your day and your week started with us. Here's what we're following in 414 00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:26.519 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The Dilomo Fashion Center in Torrents is cracking 415 00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:30.440 down on out of control teams and fights at the mall, and is launching 416 00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:36.079 a chaperone policy starting this Friday. Anyone under eighteen has to be accompanied by 417 00:30:36.119 --> 00:30:40.759 an adult someone twenty one or over after three pm on Fridays and Saturdays. 418 00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:45.839 AT and T is offering customers affected by last week's network outage a five dollars 419 00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:48.759 credit. AT and T says a software update is to blame for more than 420 00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:53.160 seventy thousand customers losing sales service across the US last week. AT and T 421 00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:56.920 says the credit will show up on your bill in one to two billing cycles. 422 00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:02.839 The lunar lander that touchdown on the Moon last week tipped over, but 423 00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:07.880 operators say it's still alive and well. The Odysseus Lander is the first US 424 00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:11.960 spacecraft on the Moon in more than fifty years. It's transmitting data that NASA 425 00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:17.720 needs for a crude Moon mission planned for twenty twenty six. We're just minutes 426 00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:21.000 away from handle. On the news this morning, Governor Newsom is starring in 427 00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:26.200 a national ad campaign. Wonder why right now let's say good morning too. 428 00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:32.640 Jennifer la Gusker, who is a volunteer in the Mojave National Preserve. Good 429 00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:37.720 morning, Jennifer, Good morning. So it's not unusual to see a camel 430 00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:41.160 in the desert, but it is unusual to see camels in the Mojave Desert. 431 00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:47.799 There's a lot of people would say that there is a history out there 432 00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:51.279 though, with camel's being in that part of the world. Believe it or 433 00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:55.960 not, we used to have camels, we did. So they were to 434 00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:01.599 get back to the Ice Age. The great this cousin of the camel was 435 00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:07.000 roaming this area in North America, then over the Bearing Street, you know, 436 00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:09.839 all of that was vised over. They headed over to the Old World. 437 00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:14.559 That's how we got them in Africa, India, and then in the 438 00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:19.680 eighteen fifties, right before the Civil War, they were reintroduced and shipped over. 439 00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:22.880 Everyone was making that you know, big grand trek over to the West 440 00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:28.440 with where there were many big promises. But in order to do that you 441 00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:31.680 would have to go through the Majave, through death valley courses. Neils, 442 00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:37.039 donkeys weren't cutting it. So camels rocked that truck. Okay, So let's 443 00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:42.839 talk about why you have camels in the Majave Desert now. And this is 444 00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:46.279 a I wanted to talk to you because this is such a cool like a 445 00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:51.680 circle of life kind of thing, or at least has its origins in that. 446 00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:55.559 But why do we have camels going into the desert now? So in 447 00:32:55.920 --> 00:33:01.960 the places so twenty twenty over for forty thousand acres of the preserve burned to 448 00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:07.400 lightning, and that's you know, possibly connected to you know, global warming, 449 00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:14.559 and just because everything is extra extra dry out there and there are so 450 00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:21.599 there. The preserve is part of this new project where they're trying to replant 451 00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:27.640 baby Joshua trees to revitalize that area that was burned. It's never been done 452 00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:30.559 before and it's a four year project. So there are certain areas of the 453 00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:36.160 preserve where you can't have vehicles, you know, no ATVs, no cars 454 00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:40.799 go through. So a front of mine Man's site is actually the one that 455 00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:45.519 has really the heart. Her heart is out in the in the preserve. 456 00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:49.480 And then she loves camel So she introduced this idea to me, Hey, 457 00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:54.240 can the camels carry these baby uh you know plants out into the desert with 458 00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:57.960 water? And I said, of course, what better way to show the 459 00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:02.799 camel's you know ability that than to do this project? So that's why they're 460 00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:07.640 out there. That's so cool. So but and they work better because of 461 00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:10.719 the sand and the terrain. Camels are much better suited for this than horses 462 00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:15.000 or pack mules exactly. And I mean people, people aren't. We did 463 00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:21.000 use horses or mules in the first year, so twenty twenty four is going 464 00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:24.360 to be at the fourth of last year. The thing is that camels have 465 00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:29.760 padded feet there. They don't have hooks, So that's one of the many 466 00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:36.800 adaptations that camels have to exerting less energy going through the desert. So instead 467 00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:43.039 of like having their their their hooks, you know, sinking or you know 468 00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:49.000 what, have you these pads? How do I explain it? I know, 469 00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:52.000 I know, it's like snowshoes but on the sand. Yeah, exactly, 470 00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:57.119 that's exactly. I love that analogy taking it. Yes, I just 471 00:34:57.119 --> 00:35:00.000 thought of it. How smart am I? Okay, So, Jennifer, 472 00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:05.360 then, so how many Joshua trees have you planted? And do you have 473 00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:09.199 any idea of how much success you've had? Because it is dry and well, 474 00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:13.800 they don't need a lot, they do need some water, that's right. 475 00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:17.280 So the project, So I believe the last time I spoke to the 476 00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:21.360 one of the lead bonds. It's like eighty percent of them did not make 477 00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:25.800 it the first year. And again this is the first time attempt in this 478 00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:34.079 replanting, you know, the project, and every year's gotten a little better, 479 00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:36.440 you know, Like the first year, for example, we had four 480 00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:42.079 different methods of planting to see which one would work better. The first method 481 00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:46.719 was just planting the baby, you know, without anything around it. Second 482 00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:52.119 was having a cage around it, third was having a cage around it with 483 00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:55.199 a baby nursery tree right next to it. And then the fourth method was 484 00:35:55.480 --> 00:36:01.199 no cage, just the plant baby nursery plant. So they wanted to see 485 00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:07.840 which one had a better rate of survival. The cage definitely helps the nursery 486 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:14.599 plant. This did not seem, you know, to affect the survival rate. 487 00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:19.320 So every year it's gotten a little better. Last year, well, 488 00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:25.760 between two camels, they carried over twenty trees between them, and each tree 489 00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:30.760 was weighing about five pounds. Third camel was in charge of pilling the water. 490 00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:37.760 So again trying to you know, figure out which method works. They 491 00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:42.000 do have to get watered and that really I'm not sure how often they're going 492 00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:45.920 out to do that just because the camels are part of it's a one year, 493 00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:51.599 you know visit. Then the preserve does have human volunteers that go out 494 00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:54.880 and water that throughout the year. I just don't know how often, Okay. 495 00:36:55.239 --> 00:36:59.519 And then the other thing that I thought was really fascinating about this, 496 00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:02.840 Jennifer, is that you would mentioned that Campbell's used to be here, and 497 00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:05.880 like we said, you know, we see him in the deserts over in 498 00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:09.679 Africa and India, but they used to be here, and in a different 499 00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:15.119 way, they used to help like spread the seeds that you know that kept 500 00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:22.719 the Joshua trees growing. So and I have to tell you that is needs 501 00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:29.480 to me because the credit always goes to the giant ground slow the giant Yeah, 502 00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:32.480 okay, yeah, and these are our eight their series, right, 503 00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:37.880 because there is no proof that they actually did it. But I was part 504 00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:42.079 of another interview and they uh, they went ahead and talked to the Labria 505 00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:45.159 tarpet like a specialist that that knows about that time, and they're saying that 506 00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:50.960 the that the distant camel cousin might have also played a role in spreading the 507 00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:55.079 seed, which I thought, how perfect is that to have these new age 508 00:37:55.159 --> 00:38:00.840 camels help with the replanning the restoration project, right, And so the theory 509 00:38:01.079 --> 00:38:05.639 is that the animals eat the seeds and then they you know, poop them 510 00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:09.440 out and then that's like fertilizer in its seeds and spreads the seeds. And 511 00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:13.039 now we don't have camels in there, and we don't have giants loss, 512 00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:16.800 So who's going to repopulate the Joshua trees? Oh, it's the yuka moth 513 00:38:17.079 --> 00:38:22.360 and a little tiny squirrel. So it is quite the undertaking for it's such 514 00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:29.320 little animals, you know, compared to the the ground floth and the distant 515 00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:35.599 camel cousin. And that's the reason why botanists are are so concerned, because 516 00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:40.599 there's only so far that the little you know, desert squirrel can got guy, 517 00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:46.519 I know, and then and let alone the Yuka moths. So you 518 00:38:46.559 --> 00:38:50.760 know that that is the concerning part, whether or not be certain. And 519 00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:54.119 and and this fire was one of there was another fire believed last year, 520 00:38:54.239 --> 00:39:00.039 the York fire, that also took out you know, acres of Joshua trees. 521 00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:07.960 So that is the concern whether or not we can restore these vast areas 522 00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:14.679 just because we don't have the swaths in the cameloid of the ice age. 523 00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:19.639 Well, we've got a few camels and we have some people who are volunteering 524 00:39:19.800 --> 00:39:22.360 and trying to preserve the Joshua trees, which are so spectacular looking. One 525 00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:27.000 of my brothers of photographer and one of his favorite places to go is out 526 00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:30.639 into the desert to take photos of the Joshua trees because they're just so cool. 527 00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:36.599 So they are, and you know, people don't realize, you know, 528 00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:39.760 the common person things, well, desert, you know it's dry, 529 00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:45.119 no life, but it's the complete opposite. There's so much life out there 530 00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:49.079 and to see, you know, some of these deserts come out with beautiful 531 00:39:49.159 --> 00:39:52.679 colored flowers. It's just most people don't realize it. And that's one of 532 00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:57.599 the reasons that's that attracts me so much to the desert. And I am 533 00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:00.360 honored to be part of this project. Jennifer's there some where people could go 534 00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:05.079 if they want to find out more information about about what your group is doing. 535 00:40:06.599 --> 00:40:09.880 Uh yeah, so the National Park Services is definitely the website to go. 536 00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:14.559 So they want to be a part of this last year of volunteering to 537 00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:20.679 replant these trees. Then I own reptacular animals and we do educational when they're 538 00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:25.119 not out volunteering. We go out into the inner city communities and do educational 539 00:40:25.159 --> 00:40:30.800 presentations to expose the communities, you know, of the greater Los Angeles the 540 00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:36.519 animals they've ever seen before. So uh, it's Rectacular Animals dot com uh 541 00:40:36.599 --> 00:40:44.039 and also our our our social media reacular. It's at Rectacular Animals where I 542 00:40:44.119 --> 00:40:50.960 usually post things of upcoming events, just like the restoration project. Awesome, 543 00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:53.239 Jennifer lec Oskar. Thank you so much for what you're doing and for your 544 00:40:53.239 --> 00:40:58.840 time this morning. We learned something I love this yay. Thank you so 545 00:40:58.920 --> 00:41:01.199 much for having me. Take care. Let's get back to some of the 546 00:41:01.239 --> 00:41:05.039 stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour News from students at a middle 547 00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:09.400 school and Beverly Hills. You're accused of creating and sharing AI generated nude photos 548 00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:14.000 of classmates, and email sent last week to parents at Beverly Vista Middle School 549 00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:19.280 says the images superimposed the faces of students onto AI generated nude bodies. One 550 00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:22.239 eighth grade student says it might be animated, but a couple of the images 551 00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:27.920 look real. Police are investigating an active duty member of the US Air Forces 552 00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:30.559 set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, d C. He's 553 00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:36.159 in critical condition. The airman said yesterday he would no longer be complicit to 554 00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:39.480 genocide. Officials say they believe the man started a live stream, set down 555 00:41:39.519 --> 00:41:44.960 his phone, then doused himself with an accelerant. He was allegedly heard shouting 556 00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:49.679 free Palestine as he burned. Israel has denied genocide allegations and says it is 557 00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:54.920 carrying out operations in Gaza in accordance with international law. Sylvester Stallone says he's 558 00:41:55.000 --> 00:42:00.280 leaving California for good. The announcement came in the season two premiere of The 559 00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:02.639 Family Stallone, where Dad broke the news to his three daughters. He told 560 00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:07.920 them mom and Dad are relocating to Florida. Stallone bought a thirteen thousand square 561 00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:12.559 foot home in Palm Beach in twenty twenty for more than thirty five million dollars. 562 00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:15.559 Thirteen thousand square feet.
