demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI and
KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.

00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:32.479
July fifth. I'm Heather Brooker in

for KNO. You are in for
a treat today. We've got a lot

8
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:45.679
of stories to cover, a lot
of post fourth of July stories, so

9
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:49.560
let's just get started. Here's what's
a head on wake up call. President

10
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:53.880
Biden says he needs more rest.
We'll tell you what he told a group

11
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:58.039
of governors at a special meeting about
how he plans to get more sleep.

12
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:03.879
Hurricane Burrow Barrel continues to pommel parts
of the Caribbean. We'll bring you the

13
00:01:03.959 --> 00:01:10.400
latest on the aftermath and where it's
headed next. And it's Barbecue Sees in

14
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:14.400
in case you haven't noticed yet,
and Dean Sharp will join us live with

15
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:19.319
some fun ideas about how you can
liven up your next family barbecue. Then

16
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.159
at six oh five. It's handle
on the news. Britain has a new

17
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:29.719
prime Minister and we'll talk about that
landslide election that ended fourteen years of Conservative

18
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:34.400
rule in the UK. Well,
let's get started with some of the stories

19
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.000
coming out of the KFI twenty four
hour newsroom. A person has been killed

20
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.959
in a crash along Pacific Coast Highway
in Malibu. Two cars collided last night

21
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:47.879
near Carbon Canyon. One of the
drivers died at the scene. Three people

22
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:52.280
are recovering from injuries caused by an
explosion at a fireworks show in La Puente.

23
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.879
One of them is a pyrotechnic technician
who was seriously hurt Wednesday night.

24
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:01.480
The city says the injuries were caused
by misfire of the fireworks. The La

25
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:07.640
City Fire Department has been given the
okay to add new positions. The specialized

26
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.960
wildland hand Crew roles are expected to
help contain wildfire. City Council wman Monica

27
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.400
Rodriguest says it's vital to help protect
the many La residents threatened by fires.

28
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:23.639
There's over a quarter of a million
homes that would be affected by these wildfires.

29
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:28.000
The city council approved more than a
million dollars to fund the new positions,

30
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.879
and the LA Fire Department says it's
ready to start hiring. The crews

31
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:35.800
helped construct fire lines with hand tools
and rehab land that's been burned in downtown

32
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:39.800
La. Michael Monks KFI News.
Several people have been heard in what police

33
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:45.639
in Huntington Beach say was an assault
with a deadly weapon. The attackers reported

34
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:50.400
about eleven fifteen last night. Please
say they found people with significant injuries,

35
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.680
but they didn't say how many people
were hurt and didn't give any more details

36
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:58.840
on how the injuries happened. A
senior meals program in LA created during the

37
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:04.639
pandemic could expire in August. City
Councilman Bob Blumenfeld rejected the idea this week

38
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:08.080
that twelve million dollars more is needed
to fund it longer. When we put

39
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:12.520
it in place, that was language
that said this is for one year.

40
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.680
This is using the COVID money for
one year. City council voted this week

41
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:21.639
to send the program to the Budget
Community for Committee for a review of its

42
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:27.639
efficacy. LA has designated millions of
dollars to support other senior meal programs.

43
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.240
In the meantime, the Mountain Lion
has been killed on the four h five

44
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.759
Freeway near the Getting Museum. The
CHP says the animal was hit by a

45
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:39.199
car yesterday. California Wildlife officials are
looking into what happened. Mountain Lion did

46
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:45.080
not appear to have been tagged.
Firefighters in northern California battling wildfires and a

47
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:51.280
potentially historic heat wave. Captain Robert
Foxworthy of CalFire spoke and he says there

48
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:55.199
is a greater challenge with triple digit
temperatures. Obviously, having those high temperatures

49
00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:00.520
are tough on the body, and
it just kind of changes our strategy a

50
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.520
little bit on how we operate large
fire in Butte County. Force only thirty

51
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:10.000
thousand people to evacuate this week.
Officials have now allowed them to return home.

52
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.199
Let's take a look at your drive
this morning, this post fourth of

53
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:18.519
July morning. We've got a crash
in Rolling Heights on the sixty. That's

54
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:23.120
right, that's on the sixty eastbound
at Fairway Drive. That crash has a

55
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:27.560
vehicle and debris in lanes. Looks
like that's over on the right hand side,

56
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.319
So try to stay to the left
as you approach in s Ritos on

57
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.680
the six of five southbound connector to
the eastbound ninety one, that entire transition

58
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:39.279
road has been shut down due to
a crash. Looks like the ramp from

59
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.000
the ninety one east and the six
o five south is also closed. And

60
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.360
in Anaheim on the ninety one eastbound
at State College Drive State College Boulevard,

61
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.360
there's a crash block and the three
right lanes. Traffic is stop and go

62
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:56.680
from East Street with Southern California's only
airborne traffic reports. I'm Russell Ford.

63
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.000
All right, thank you, Russell. At a special me on Wednesday,

64
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.399
President Biden told a group of governors
he needs more rest, but is otherwise

65
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:09.480
in good health. ABC's Molly Nagel
joins us live from the White House with

66
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.920
more on what he said. Good
morning, Molly, Hey, good morning.

67
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.160
Yeah. This meeting at the White
House is really intended to reassure state

68
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:23.360
Democratic leaders that the president is in
good health and up to the task of

69
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.879
not only leading the country and leaving
the party but taking on Donald Trump in

70
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.920
November. Now we're hearing more about
what was said. Behind the scenes.

71
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:35.439
We saw governors come out immediately after
that meeting and pledge their support They said

72
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:39.480
that the President's been there for them, they're going to be there for him,

73
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.759
and he's staying in this race.
But behind the scenes, we're hearing

74
00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.120
that the president told the governors that
he needs to get more rest and in

75
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.839
order to get more sleep, he
wants to stop scheduling events later into the

76
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.480
evening. Now, this is according
to a person who is in the room

77
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:56.560
and two sources briefed on the discussion. He also made a joke about his

78
00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:00.560
brain of when he was asked a
question about by Hawaii Governor Josh Green about

79
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.600
his health. He said that he
was fine, but it was quote,

80
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.360
just his brain. Now, the
people that we talked to who are in

81
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.519
the room said that that was a
joke, and his campaigns noted that his

82
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.959
campaign chair, who was also in
the room, noted that he followed it

83
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.199
up by saying, all kidding aside. So they're pushing that off as a

84
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.920
joke. But we also know the
president did acknowledge he had a medical checkup

85
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:25.680
following the debate with his doctor and
is in good health. Now that's notable

86
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:30.000
because the Press secretary had initially told
us he hadn't had any medical exams following

87
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:32.519
that debate, but now they are
saying that he was seen by his doctor

88
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:35.399
to check on that cold that he
had during the debate stage and is doing

89
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:40.040
just fine. So you can argue
about what the difference is between a medical

90
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:43.519
exam and checking on a cold,
but the bottom line here is that the

91
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:48.199
president is going to is taking some
pretty extreme measures to try and reassure his

92
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.519
party that he's still up to the
task and that he can stay in this

93
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:55.600
race. He has said he is
adamant he's staying in We heard him say

94
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.600
that last night here at the White
House during a Fourth of July celebration.

95
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:00.879
A member of the audience to them
to keep up the fight, and he

96
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.480
said, I'm with you, man, I'm not going anywhere. So I

97
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:10.160
think we're going to continue to see
how the president's work behind the scenes and

98
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:15.720
in front of the American people is
going into in terms of assessing addressing some

99
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.639
of the concerns that they that have
popped up since this debate. Now,

100
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:25.079
at least publicly, there's only been
a few people, a few leaders and

101
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.519
the Democratic Party who have come out
and said that they are not supporting Biden

102
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.879
to continue in this race. But
publicly, most of them, are still,

103
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:38.199
you know, presenting this united front
here. Do you think that they're

104
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.800
that's starting to weaken? Are the
Democratic leaders starting to say, you know

105
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:45.279
what, maybe we need to reassess
this, or at least maybe is not

106
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:50.720
only happening privately. Well, you're
right that we are only hearing so far,

107
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:56.240
I believe, from three House Democratic
members calling for the president to step

108
00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:00.120
aside. Now that's not to say
that that in and out itself is not

109
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.800
notable that you're hearing members of the
president's own party calling for him to step

110
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:07.839
aside. But really, as you
noted, the party is staying united and

111
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:15.240
staying as a unit and a united
front on this. Now we're hearing reports

112
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:20.879
that there are calls happening behind the
scenes saying that there are some concerns from

113
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:26.040
members who are worried about if the
president can win or you know, if

114
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:30.759
there's just if this would cause turmoil
in the party and could affect down ballot

115
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.759
races. I think what we're going
to have to see is how long does

116
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.480
this persist. Does the President's efforts
by getting out on the campaign trail today,

117
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:43.440
going to Wisconsin, by sitting down
with ABC's George Stephanopolis for that interview

118
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.879
today that I think a lot of
people are going to be watching. How

119
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:50.399
do those things and you know,
continuing to travel and do more to get

120
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.679
in front of the American people,
how do those things kind of address the

121
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.279
concerns that have persisted? And is
it enough? And or you know,

122
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.799
are we too far down the road
now? I know a lot of people

123
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.720
have been calling for not just a
checkup, if you will, a health

124
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:11.759
exam, but they're calling for a
cognitive test for President Biden. Do you

125
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:16.519
think we're going to get any more
information on that checkup or that medical exam

126
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.399
that he had this week? Well, we know that the Press Secretary is

127
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.639
going to be gaggling with the reporters
of board Air Force one today and I

128
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.519
have a sneaking suspicion that this is
going to be part of those discussions about

129
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.840
the discrepancy here between you know,
what she was telling us and what the

130
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.120
President is telling governors. I think
that bottom line, the questions are not

131
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.639
going away. He's going to continue
to face questions you know, himself and

132
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.799
from the Press secretary or you know, his press secretary will continue to raise

133
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.039
these questions. So far, the
White House has stood firm. You know

134
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.399
they they have. They say they've
been transparent about the President's health. They

135
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.200
put out these summaries of these physicals
that he's taken. But I don't think

136
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.080
these questions are going anywhere, So
we'll have to see how much they're willing

137
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:03.960
to answer. One more follow up
to you mentioned the ABC interview tonight.

138
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:09.759
How essential is it that he I
guess does well or presents this strength and

139
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:16.440
capability that he's striving for in this
interview tonight. Well, I think the

140
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.960
White House knows that the stakes really
could not be higher here. Everything in

141
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:26.039
this interview is going to be intensely
scrutinized, But ultimately what really matters here

142
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:30.600
is what the voters think. Does
this calm their concerns? Does this reinforce

143
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:33.600
any perceptions they might have following that
debate. I think that the White House

144
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.840
knows that they have to get out
there and do this interview. We've heard

145
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:41.360
allies of the President calling for him
to do these types of things, get

146
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:45.919
in front of viewers, get in
front of voters, and show them that

147
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:50.360
he is up to the task.
But I think that the campaign has to

148
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:56.159
back up their argument here that the
debate was just one bad night, But

149
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.840
viewers will have to make that judgment
for themselves when they see the interview.

150
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:01.840
It's gonna bringas you the first look
of it on World News tonight, and

151
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:07.240
then the interview will be broadcast in
its entirety and primetime at eight pm on

152
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.279
ABC, So we'll have to stay
tuned to see how it goes well.

153
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:13.600
We will definitely be watching. Thank
you so much, Molly, Thank you.

154
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.799
You're listening to Wake Up Call on
demand from KFI Am six forty.

155
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:26.279
Here's what we're following in the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. Patrick Bertaletti of

156
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:30.480
Chicago as one of his first men's
title of the annual Nathan's hot Dog eating

157
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:35.440
contests. He won by consuming fifty
eight hot dogs in ten minutes. The

158
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.559
parent company of Zacksmith Avenue has signed
a deal to buy Upscale rival Neeman Marcus,

159
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.639
which owns Neman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and they bought it for two

160
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:50.840
point six five billion dollars. Temperatures
will heat up today across southern California,

161
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:56.519
with some record setting highs possible in
the valleys. Then at six oh five

162
00:11:56.600 --> 00:12:01.440
it's handle on the news. Hesbela
launched a rocket and drone attack on Israel

163
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:05.559
last night and what they say was
a retaliation strike. We'll talk about why

164
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.799
they said they did it and what
the Iran backed group says they'll do next.

165
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:18.039
Mexico's top tourist destinations were on red
alert as hurricane Barrel turned towards the

166
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.960
coast on Thursday evening, after leaving
behind a deadly trail of destruction across several

167
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:28.720
Caribbean islands. ABC's Jim Ryan joins
US Live from Dallas with the latest.

168
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.879
Good Morning, Jim, boarding Heather. At the moment, Hurricane Beryl is

169
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:37.960
a Category two hurricane over the Yucatan
Peninsula, causing problems for people in Coosamel

170
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:43.080
and Cancoon east of O'Haras those sorts
of those Maya Riviera places that people like

171
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:48.960
to vacation, and it's going to
weaken down to tropical storm status most likely

172
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:54.080
as it scrapes across the land loses
some momentum, it'll go off out into

173
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:58.960
the Gulf of Mexico then early tomorrow
morning and make its way to the northwest,

174
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:03.759
and as it does so, that
very warm water on the Gulf of

175
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.279
Mexico is likely to send it back
up into hurricane status again, which would

176
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:11.799
be winds minimum wins of seventy four
miles per hour, and then finally a

177
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:18.360
third landstulfs landfall first Grenada, then
Yucatan Peninsula, and then finally Northeast Mexico

178
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:24.320
or southeast Texas early Monday morning.
Heather, Now, there are a lot

179
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.000
of resorts in this area, and
this is high tourist season, so there's

180
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:33.200
probably a lot more people in these
areas than there normally would be at any

181
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.399
other times of the year. So
do we know what any of these resorts

182
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.840
are doing to prepare, if anything, for this hurricane. Well, they've

183
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:45.120
seen the storm coming, and certainly
those places in the Yucatan know what to

184
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:46.480
do when a storm like this is
on the way, and they've boarded up

185
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.600
I'm sure, and told guests probably
to stay in their rooms and wait till

186
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:54.960
the storm is over. Most of
them do have generators to hire end hotels

187
00:13:54.960 --> 00:14:00.200
and resorts have ways to keep the
lights turned on at least and keep food

188
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:05.039
service going, so they'll kind of
ride this thing out until tomorrow, early

189
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:09.279
tomorrow morning or tomorrow afternoon when the
storm has finally blown away. Let's still

190
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.360
have rain for the next couple of
days and win. But yeah, this

191
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.519
is one that they saw coming and
have been able to prepare for, and

192
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.639
you could tend Can we talk about
a little bit more about some of the

193
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.399
damage that was done in the Caribbean
when it went over yesterday and then earlier

194
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.480
in the week. Yeah, Granada
and those other tiny islands out there that

195
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.960
people probably have not heard much about
it, and the Bahamas as well.

196
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:39.480
We're talking about extreme wind damage to
properties there. Plus the flooding that comes

197
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:43.639
with any hurricane now is causing a
lot of damage and will for some time

198
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.559
in those islands out there in the
Caribbean. So yeah, just some really

199
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.919
terrifying and heartbreaking images coming from those
places. Now. I know that there's

200
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.559
probably people here in the US who
are watching this closely because maybe they have

201
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:01.360
vacation plans, maybe they were planning
to head to this area. Anything that

202
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.840
we can tell them about, you
know, whether or not to cancel,

203
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.720
just keep an eye on it.
Well. I think that even if it's

204
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:11.679
a landfall down in Mexico. Northeast
Mexico. We saw this earlier this year

205
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:16.480
with the first named storm of the
year, Alberto. It came ashore down

206
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.759
in Tampico, Mexico. But of
course up here in Texas, then we're

207
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:24.960
sort of on the dirty side of
the storm. Right. These things spin

208
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.840
counterclockwise, and so if you're on
the north side, you're going to get

209
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:33.639
a much deeper effect than you would
be on the south side of a hurricane

210
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.879
like that. And so even if
the barrel comes ashore as a tropical storm

211
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:41.080
or a low level hurricane, it's
going to cause some problems for people from

212
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:46.120
the southern tip of Texas at Brownsville
all the way up potentially to Calveston,

213
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:48.600
you know, three hundred miles away. That was my next question, What

214
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:52.080
should I mean, Is there even
a chance it will hit Texas? Oh?

215
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:56.679
Yeah, there's every likelihood, I
think, maybe the probability that it

216
00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:00.639
will, either in its landfall and
certainly with its impact, because again,

217
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:06.879
I mean, we're talking about anything
from two hundred miles north to two hundred

218
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:10.720
miles south of the point of landfall
is going to be feeling the effects of

219
00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:15.879
this. So you've got people boarding
up their houses in Brownsville, You've got

220
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.440
the beaches out there preparing for the
arrival of this storm, and the farmers

221
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:23.799
down there. This is a major
Inland. They are just not too far

222
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:29.840
from Corpus Christie. You have vast
fields of sorghum, of cotton, of

223
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:33.039
corn, and now farmers are out
there rushing today to get this stuff harvested

224
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:37.840
before the rains come along in a
ruin it all. All right, Well,

225
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.600
we will be keeping a close eye
on this and hope everyone down there

226
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.879
is safe. Thank you so much, Jim, Thanks Heather. All right,

227
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.639
let's get back to some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty

228
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.480
four hour newsroom. Illegal fireworks have
caused an explosion of nine to one one

229
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:57.600
calls across southern California in recent years. People don't realize policing illegal fireworks is

230
00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:03.559
tricky. It is often difficult to
cite people for those types of illegal fireworks

231
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.119
because in order to cite our officers
have to actually catch the person in the

232
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:10.599
act of lighting that firework. Huntington
Beach Is Jennifer Carrey says there were seven

233
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:14.640
hundred fireworks related nine to one to
one calls during the July fourth weekend last

234
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.440
year, which is two hundred and
fifty more than in twenty twenty two.

235
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:22.119

the MYHB app freeze up nine one one

Valley has led to some evacuations. The

238
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:36.960
fire was reported around seven o'clock last
night near Moreno Beach Drive. The Riverside

239
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:40.440
County Fire Department says it was burning
in an area that was difficult to get

240
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:44.920
to, but by around midnight,
the fire was roughly sixty percent surrounded by

241
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:51.000
lines of clear vegetation. A few
dozen pro Palestinian protesters walked onto the one

CHP officials say the group started with a

march at Gloria Molino Grand Park last
night, before later a move moving into

244
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:07.119
the Grand Central Market and then the
freeway. Some could be heard chanting Intifada,

245
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:11.079
don't think I'm saying that right,
while one demonstrator appeared to burn an

meal program in LA could expire at the

247
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:21.880
end of August. The Rapid Response
Senior Meals program was only supposed to last

248
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:25.880
a year and was funded through federal
pandemic dollars. City councilwoman Heather Hutt asked

249
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:29.079
her colleagues this week to spend twelve
million dollars more to keep it going.

250
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:33.759
Today we need to put our money
where our rhetoric is and not exacerbate our

251
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:37.759
un house issues, particularly around our
seniors. The council instead voted to send

252
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:41.200
the issue to committee so the program
can be reviewed for efficacy. The city

253

that. You're listening to Wake Up

California city of Oraville's annual fireworks were
canceled as an estimated twenty six thousand residents

265

we have Dean here. Oh my

277
00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:45.319
goodness, I just got so excited. If you're feeling inspired to get outside

278
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:48.480
and cook, we have some ideas
that you can use to make your summer

279
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:52.640
barbecue even better. Dean Sharp,
the house whisper is here live with more.

280
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:55.720
Good morning, Dean, morning boss. How you doing. I'm so

281
00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:59.200
good. What a pleasure to talk
with you today. How is your fourth

282
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:06.480
It was uneventfully lovely, truly truly, just nice, nice, And then

283
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:08.640
we made you get up early this
morning to come talk to me. Well,

284
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.440
I'm always up early anyway, It's
no problem. I love that.

285
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:18.319
Okay, So let's talk about barbecue
season. Tell me how I can make

286
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:22.920
my cooking experience this summer even better. Well, you know, July is

287
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:29.200
a peak barbecue season, and it's
usually the fourth that actually inspires a lot

288
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:33.240
of people. A lot of people
assume that most outdoor kitchen stuff gets purchased

289
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:37.440
before the fourth because of grilling.
But the reality is that you know,

290
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:42.119
you end up at somebody's place or
at family's house, or you yourself,

291
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:47.519
you pull out the old grill,
and after the fourth it's kind of officially

292
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:51.599
barbecue time, and people are thinking, we got to do better than this.

293
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:53.559
I just want we want a new
grill, we want to do this,

294
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:57.839
we want to maybe an outdoor kitchen, and so this is when people

295
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:02.359
really start thinking about doing outdoor kitchen. So that's what we're going to do

296
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:07.319
this weekend is spend both days Tomorrow
and Sunday show talking about how to put

297
00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:12.599
together the right outdoor kitchen for you
at any level, any level literally,

298
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:18.240
whether you've just got you know,
one hundred bucks in your pocket or ten

299
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:22.440
thousand or whatever, however far you
want to go. But I always say

300
00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.119
this, I always say this,
The key is the best investment that you

301
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:32.480
can make in building an outdoor kitchen
is learning to cook. And I'm serious

302
00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:37.200
about that because there are so many
options these days as to what you can

303
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.839
do outside. We've come so far
from the nineteen fifties when all of American

304
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:45.880
grilling began. Really, we've come
so far from just you know, a

305
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:51.799
little charcoal grill to the fact that
now you've got griddles, you've got smokers,

306
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:56.599
you've got camado grills like the big
Green egg out there, You've got

307
00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:00.599
all sorts of specialty equipment. In
fact, the day before yesterday, Tina

308
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:03.880
and I had a couple of friends
over and we decided, you know what,

309
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:08.119
we're gonna do pizza outdoors in the
afternoon. And so outdoor pizza ovens

310
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:12.519
are huge these days, portable outdoor
pizza ovens. But it all comes down

311
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:18.440
to this one question. What do
you want to be cooking outside? The

312
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:21.720
food that you want to be cooking, and then you go out and you

313
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:26.960
put together the equipment necessary to get
that done. So learning to cook the

314
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:33.240
food that you love the most outdoors
is the key to outlining your outdoor kitchen.

315
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:37.680
So July is peak barbecue season,
as you mentioned, and it's also

316
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:41.920
National Grilling Month. Now, we
love our girl. We have a trigger

317
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:45.119
and my husband uses it pretty much
year round. That's one of the lucky

318
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:49.200
things we get to do here in
southern California. What else should we be

319
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:53.279
adding to our cooking repertoire You mentioned
like a pizza oven, but are there

320
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:59.240
some other little fun things that we
can use outside? Well, I see,

321
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:00.759
now that's an intro thing thing.
You say you and your husband have

322
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:07.680
a trager grill, and grill is
one of those words that gets thrown around.

323
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:12.920
We have a appellate grill as well. And your grill quote unquote grill

324
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:18.720
really is best described as a smoke
a smoke, yeah, as a barbecue

325
00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:22.440
smoker, because yeah, yeah,
you can reach hot temperatures, but you're

326
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:27.720
never ever with that grill grilling over
direct flame, right, It's just heat

327
00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:33.400
and smoke and so so it is
one of the I think just the hottest

328
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:37.200
and greatest specialty items, the return
to low and slow, you know,

329
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:42.799
old school barbecue. But like we
said, pizza ovens, big griddles in

330
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:48.400
this year, this year, griddles, outdoor griddles have become a huge thing.

331
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.920
I love ours. We've got a
litstone, a flat topp or is

332
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:56.000
that the one with Yeah, yeah, no, just a flat top,

333
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:02.839
you know, just a big thirty
six inch square flat top cast iron griddle.

334
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:07.240
And especially like if you if you
have a family that loves the weekend

335
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.519
breakfasts cooked outside, the thing about
a griddle, yeah, I mean I

336
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:15.720
love it especially, you know,
and I would say during the summer,

337
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:19.279
we might hit that up more often
even than the smoker. Just because you

338
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:22.240
know, it gets hot in the
middle of the day. So the idea

339
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:27.039
of like everybody's over on a Saturday
morning and I got room on that thing

340
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:32.640
for you know, eight hundred pancakes
and sixty eggs and they're all you know,

341
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:37.519
I mean, I'm exaggerating, but
the nice idea of a thirty six

342
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.039
inch wide griddle is that you can
have pancakes and eggs and bacon and it's

343
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:47.240
all going at the same time.
Everybody's hanging out and it's a great time.

344
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:52.279
So yeah, just about anything you
can imagine these days cooking outdoors you

345
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.000
can find and I don't want to
blow everybody's budget. And that's again why

346
00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:59.759
I keep saying, find out what
you want to do outside and just get

347
00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:03.200
that. Try not to duplicate things
as well. Surprisingly enough, Tina and

348
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:08.359
I do not have a classic grill
like a Weber kettle grill, because we've

349
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:12.480
got the smoker, we've got the
griddle. And not a lot of people

350
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:18.039
realize this, but the broiler on
your oven inside is an upside down grill.

351
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:22.640
It's an upside down bar. I
forget about that. So again,

352
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.440
if you're looking to save money,
don't duplicate equipment that you already have.

353
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:29.400
All right, so here's my last
question. I know you got to go,

354
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:33.799
But we have a very basic setup
in our house with just very limited

355
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:37.640
space sort of in like a corner. Our trigger is like in a corner

356
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:42.960
of our driveway. Essentially, what
are some like small little things we can

357
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:47.160
do to make it feel a little
more inviting out there, a little more

358
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:52.000
like you're saying, like welcoming for
people to want to hang out and sort

359
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:53.480
of like, you know, mix
it up a little bit out there.

360
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:59.039
Well, you know, I always
say, if the if the process of

361
00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:03.319
cooking is about to people gathering around, then let them gather bring out a

362
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:07.519
cooler. One of the things that's
happened in the last couple of years is

363
00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:12.240
we've come out with some really really
high tech coolers, strangely enough, battery

364
00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:17.519
power. You know howeverything these days
is battery powered. A battery powered cooler

365
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:21.720
that allows people to sit around,
have cool beverages, use it as kind

366
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:23.960
of a coffee table, break out, some chairs, you know, some

367
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:30.440
folding chairs, some camp chairs,
and get a couple of inexpensive market umbrellas.

368
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:34.039
Right, and I'm talking like the
thirty nine dollars seven and a half

369
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:40.880
foot wide umbrellas that you can set
up to shade the grill and the people

370
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:44.240
sitting around. And you know what, whether it's a temporary just for the

371
00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:48.920
event kind of thing or a permanent
setup set up a ring of people around

372
00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:53.759
the food, and nobody ever gets
that. Oh I love that well,

373
00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:56.400
Dean, you always have such great
advice. And you know what, You're

374
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.440
stuck with me tomorrow too, so
we're gonna I'm gonna get to get even

375
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.920
more information from you tomorrow when I
can't wait when you're back on Home.

376
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:08.160
You guys, make sure you listen
to Home with Dean Sharp on Saturdays and

377
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:12.480
Sundays, and Dean, we'll talk
with you more on tomorrow. Sounds great.

378
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:17.880
See you. Then you're listening to
Wake Up Call on demand from KFI

379
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:21.519
AM six forty. And here's what
we're following in the KFI twenty four hour

380
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:26.640
newsroom. Authorities are still investigating the
crash of a boat that sank in Alamitos

381
00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:30.799
Bay in Long Beach. One man
was killed and ten others were hurt.

382
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:34.279
A manhunt is still underway for an
arm suspect or an armed person after two

383
00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:41.240
LPD officers were hurt in a shootout
in the Willowbrook area. The officers exchange

384
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:45.319
gunfire with the person driving Wednesday night
during a traffic stop in the area of

385
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:49.279
Broadway in one hundred and thirty fifth. Another mountain lion has been hitting killed

386
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:52.960
on the Los Angeles Freeway. The
animal was reported in the center divider of

387
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:56.240
the four or five near the Getty
Center on Thursday afternoon and was picked up

388
00:28:56.319 --> 00:29:02.400
later by Caltran's worker two minutes away
from Handle. On the news this morning,

389
00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:06.920
a former k COW news anchor has
filed a discrimination lawsuit against the CBS

390
00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:10.960
owned station. He says he was
fired for being white, and we'll have

391
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:17.359
the details of the lawsuit for the
ABC News Radio special press Play. This

392
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:22.920
year, ABC's Rob Howley profiled a
unique Olympic sport that also happens to carry

393
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:26.640
with it a lot of risk,
and he filed this special report for KFI.

394
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:30.039
It is one of the most dangerous
sports you can possibly imagine. I

395
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.880
broke my neck for the first time
when I was sixteen, I'll be honest.

396
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:37.880
As Spencer Stromy was going on,
I could feel my eyes getting wide

397
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:40.359
and I was paralyzing the neck down. You come through it, you move

398
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:45.160
on. I've broken it twice since
I nearly had my left leg amputase it.

399
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:48.880
I mean it is a dangerous sport, earning all those scars in the

400
00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:56.119
only Olympic sport where men and women
are competing on equal footing. Welcome to

401
00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:02.640
the world of horseback riding, in
this case eventing, or as Spencer himself,

402
00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:07.000
a world class rider puts it,
we talk about the equine equivalent of

403
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:14.519
a triathlon. So the dressage is
the ballet. It is the ballet in

404
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:18.799
a sandbox, the dancing horses of
the equestrian world sometimes written to music.

405
00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:25.799
That's just the first phase. On
day two, cross country is going and

406
00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:30.359
doing a tough mutter course, galloping
for miles over hills and in valleys,

407
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:36.240
jumping over fences big and small,
into and out of water. Hi,

408
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:40.440
my name's Carolyn Permuchu and I am
a twenty twenty four event three day eventing

409
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:45.079
Olympians, so she well knows exactly
what's coming. On Day three, show

410
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:48.319
jumping is going back in a way. It's kind of tough mutter in a

411
00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:53.079
ballerina combined in one right. Because
both rider and horse need the fitness to

412
00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:57.119
recover from cross country to still be
able to navigate a round of jumps in

413
00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:00.400
a rent. The horses have to
be able to do all of those three

414
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:04.599
things, the dresserge, the cross
country and the show jumping be able to

415
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:08.400
do them all very very well.
And to have an all round horse that

416
00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:11.920
can do those things is very rare
to find. So I trust the horse

417
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.440
with my life, and I know
he trusts me with his life. A

418
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:19.119
huge part of the challenge for the
rider. The horse isn't just a machine.

419
00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:22.000
This is the only sport in the
world that we work with two brains,

420
00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:26.039
two separate brains. With the equine
and human relationship Caroline has forged with

421
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:32.359
her partner in this year's Games hsh
Blake, through years of work. I've

422
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:34.160
had him for four years and I
spent every single day with his horse,

423
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:37.960
every single minute, and it almost
didn't happen. Actually, Blake was supposed

424
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.000
to be sold two separate times,
but the deal, luckily for me,

425
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:45.160
fell through. And by the second
time that the deal fell through, I

426
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:48.799
was like, this horse is so
special. It's meant to be. I

427
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:52.480
feels like Yes. I remember riding
him and sobbing and being like I'm going

428
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:53.880
to lose this horse, and he
feels like a horse of a lifetime.

429
00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:56.440
But she was able to work out
a deal, managed to keep him for

430
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:01.000
herself, and now she and Blake
are carrying us special banner into the Olympics.

431
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:07.279
Sixty years since American rider Lenda DuPont
broke the gender barrier becoming the first

432
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:09.759
woman to ride in eventing in the
Olympics. That's such a special thing about

433
00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:14.119
our sport, right Like, we're
the only sport that men and women could

434
00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:17.440
be equally, and so I just
want to keep carrying that tradition. And

435
00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:22.799
someone who knows exactly what it was
like back in nineteen sixty four, a

436
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:27.640
childhood friend of Landa, she got
me interested in the eventing and we were

437
00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:32.599
invited to go to Gladstone to train
with the team that they were all boys,

438
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:37.799
man don in Sharp, who would
make her own Olympic team in nineteen

439
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:40.599
sixty eight riding Trissage. But back
in sixty four, even though the way

440
00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:45.759
had been opened for women to ride
in eventing, we knew we weren't gonna

441
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:49.880
make the Olympic team. I mean, making the Olympic team lose a big

442
00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:52.960
deal that we weren't really even thinking
about. But a funny thing happened on

443
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:58.599
the way to not making the team. Through all that training and testing before

444
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:01.000
the games. She was that good, good, had that good a horse,

445
00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:05.400
a horse that Lanta's mother had given
her. He was a big bone,

446
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:10.400
big bowld, brassy, thoroughbread.
Off the racetrack, when it became

447
00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:14.920
clear that Landa was going to ride
into history, the man on the team

448
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:21.599
was so so awesome that they they
really didn't care that we were females.

449
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:28.359
We were part of the part of
the gang. And I think Landa was

450
00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:34.319
very much accepted because she was a
great rider and heading off to Tokyo and

451
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:37.640
into the history books. Today,
inventing still looks much like it did then,

452
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:42.440
though with farmer women taking part.
If you get a chance to watch

453
00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:45.240
this year's games, keep an eye
out for Caroline and both she and Spencer

454
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:50.000
saying, there's a great way to
know if things are going well for any

455
00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:53.400
of the riders. What you're looking
for, more more than anything, basically

456
00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:59.160
is the harmony between horse and ride
e harmony the best word to be harmony

457
00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:04.799
between the horse the rider and like
my husband completely non horsey and he's picked

458
00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:07.559
up some few tricks now, but
the biggest thing It's always interesting to hear

459
00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:10.280
him talk about it, the harmony
between the horses and that you know,

460
00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:14.119
you can see if it's smooth.
He likes to use the word smooth,

461
00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:16.840
and that's a super easy thing.
If it looks effortless, that's a good

462
00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:22.159
round. And know when you're watching
those rides, these creatures, these animals,

463
00:34:22.199 --> 00:34:25.000
these equines, my goodness, mate, they give us everything. Rob
