WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.879 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:16.480 demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. 3 00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:28.160 It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. It's 4 00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:32.000 five o'clock. This is your wake up call for Monday, June third. 5 00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:37.560 We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I'm Amy King. Hope you had 6 00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:40.759 a great weekend. Mine was super busy. You know. Sometimes I just 7 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.479 shared with you that I just literally sit on the couch all weekend and do 8 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:49.000 nothing, just to sort of relax and recoup and regroup. This weekend was 9 00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:52.359 not that I had a friend and so it was a super busy weekend. 10 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:58.920 I went to a show at the Pantagious Theater. The Pantagious is a lovely 11 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.520 theater. The show we saw was not, unfortunately, but that's okay. 12 00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.280 It was still a really fun night. And then we did the La Winefest. 13 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:08.280 We told you about that on Friday. We did that in Long Beach 14 00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:11.680 yesterday. That was super cool. If you haven't been, it's over for 15 00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.840 this year, but next year highly recommended. It was a lot of fun. 16 00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:18.879 And then of course no weekends complete unless I go to Disneyland, because 17 00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.120 they've got Picksarfest going on, and as we were telling you, like, 18 00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.359 there's too much to taste and do and all of that in one trip. 19 00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:30.959 So we went and I got rear ended on the way into the parking structure. 20 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.000 That was a kind of a fun way to start the day. My 21 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.519 next a little sore, My back bumper is trash, but otherwise we're okay. 22 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.840 And after we got out of the cars, you know, it's always 23 00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:44.400 so uncomfortable when you get in a crash. So I was like immediately, 24 00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:47.280 I was like, okay, everybody's okay, right, and just take a 25 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.680 deep breath because you don't know how people are going to react and if they're 26 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.000 going to be really grumpy. I was like, it's it's just a car. 27 00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:57.760 It's just a little, you know, fender bender. And the girl 28 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.599 was very sweet and she's like, I've never hid anybody before. It's like, 29 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:05.560 oh good, I'm here first. So and then we exchanged all our 30 00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.319 information and we said, but we're not gonna let it wreck our Disney day. 31 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:10.759 And we didn't. We had a great time. I'm hoping they did 32 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:15.919 too. But anyway, busy weekend. Busy week Let's get right to it. 33 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:20.520 Here's what's ahead on wake up call. So Cal got a little jolt. 34 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.120 That was another thing that happened over the weekend. A three point four 35 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:27.479 earthquake rumbled under Pasadena just before ten this morning. We felt it at my 36 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.080 house. The quake was felt around Los Angeles, Anaheim, and as far 37 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:36.199 away as San Bernardino and San Diego. History has been made in Mexico with 38 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:42.319 the election of the country's first ever female president. Claudia Scheinbaum is the former 39 00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:46.639 mayor of Mexico City. She'll succeed President Andre Manuel Lopez Obrador. She's pledged 40 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:53.800 to govern govern with the same principles as Lopez Obrador. Hunter Biden's trial on 41 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:59.120 charges he illegally got a gun gets under way with jury selection in Delaware. 42 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:02.360 Get up to twenty years in prison theoretically if convicted. We're gonna be talking 43 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:06.960 with ABC's Stephen Portnoy about this in just a couple of minutes, so stick 44 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:08.840 around for that. Later this hour, we're going to be talking with a 45 00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:14.199 landscaping expert about a new trend in pools. I hadn't heard about this before. 46 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.599 They're kind of bringing nature back into the backyard. I think you're gonna 47 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:20.879 like it again. That's coming up later this hour at six oh five. 48 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.439 It's handle on the news right after wake up call. A shark attack has 49 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:29.199 shut down a beach in southern California. Scary. Let's get started with some 50 00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.319 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A stretch 51 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:37.120 of Topanga Canyon Boulevard that's been closed since early March because of a mudslide has 52 00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.759 reopened, about three months ahead of schedule. The road connection or to the 53 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:46.240 San Fernando Valley and the coast in Malibu, was closed when heavy rains caused 54 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:49.960 rock into brief slides that block the mountain road. The road's going to have 55 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:54.000 one way traffic control during non peak hours as crews continue their cleanup. A 56 00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:58.759 fifteen year old has been shot in a car near Echo Park. The LAPD 57 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.560 says the girl was a passer in the car on Sunset Boulevard Saturday night and 58 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.960 was shot when gunfire broke out. The girl's been taken to the hospital. 59 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:12.039 Police have not released a description of the shooter or the shooter's vehicles. There's 60 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:19.560 Yakit de Desimas Bessy then d us Yes. Saudia Shinbaum has won Mexico's presidential 61 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:25.920 election. ABC's Matt Rivers and Mexico City says she's the country's first female president. 62 00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.800 The two leading candidates in this race were both women, and that's massive 63 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.920 in a country where historically it has been dominated by a patriarchal society, not 64 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:36.480 only in just civil society, but also in politics itself. We're going to 65 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:41.560 be talking with ABC Stephen Portnoy a little bit about that, and of course 66 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.439 we're going to be talking to him about the Hunter Biden trial. In just 67 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:48.800 a moment, Boeing's Starliner spacecraft is set to try again to get new tests 68 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:55.279 on two NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. A launch attempt on Saturday 69 00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.920 was scrubbed just minutes before it was supposed to lift off because of a computer 70 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:04.680 and power problem stop at T minus three minutes fifty seconds. ABC's Andrew Dimberd 71 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:09.759 says. The next attempt is set for Wednesday morning at Cape Canaveral Space Station 72 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.040 in Florida. It can't come soon enough for Americans on the International Space Station 73 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:16.920 because, along with two astronauts, the star Liner will now carry some crucial 74 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:23.639 cargo a toilet pump essential to keeping the water clean. A NASA developer says 75 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:27.800 it costs about five thousand dollars to take a leader of water up to space. 76 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.959 The Starliner is set to take about twenty four hours to reach the space 77 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:35.680 station. Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Stephen, 78 00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:41.439 last week it was Trump's trial. Now it's a Biden trial. Yes, 79 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:45.480 and that is a coincidence. We should not view it as an any 80 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:50.120 way, it's a seesaw or any way related. Really, even though it 81 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:54.800 happens at there's a juxtaposition here. Look, you have the Hunter Biden trial 82 00:05:54.879 --> 00:06:00.160 proceeding in Wilmington, Delaware. It involves the purchase of a handgun at a 83 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:05.279 time when Hunter Biden was an admitted drug user. And when you go to 84 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:10.040 a gun store and you want to buy a handgun, there's a background check. 85 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.399 But before the background check is conducted, you fill out the form and 86 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.000 it asks on the form whether you are a user of or addicted to any 87 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:20.680 illicit drug. And Hunter Biden ticked no on the form. When we now 88 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:25.519 know he wrote about it in his book, and there are pictures which will 89 00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.639 likely to be seen in open court that he was addicted to crack cocaine at 90 00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:34.639 the time, and so years later, and this is now almost eight years 91 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:39.000 later. No, six years later, six years later, you have eighteen 92 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:43.680 that's right, you have the case being brought by the special counsel David Wise. 93 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:48.839 Now Hunter Biden's attorneys say that these charges are almost never brought absent a 94 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:55.639 connection to some more serious offense related to a crime of violence or a drug 95 00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:59.920 deal. Let's say, there's nothing like that here. And they say that 96 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:04.839 if the president's sons last name weren't Biden, he wouldn't be charged, certainly 97 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:11.000 not by a special prosecutor, and that this case, in addition to the 98 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:16.199 tax case in Los Angeles, is a function of a prosecutor who was bent 99 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:21.959 on adhering to and yielding to the pressures from the right to bring a charge. 100 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.000 The other side of it, of course, is that you know, 101 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:30.199 no one is above the law, that these were offenses and they should be 102 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:34.160 prosecuted to the fullest extent. This all happened because a plea agreement came unwound 103 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:40.079 last summer. Remember we talked a lot about that last year. And now 104 00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:44.800 the question is all right, will the jury find hunter Biden guilty? Because 105 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.759 Hunter Biden backed out of the plea agreement and said we're going to trial. 106 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:53.959 Prosecutor said, fine, We're going to trial. So a couple of questions, 107 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:55.920 and I don't even know if you can answer them, but I'll ask 108 00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:00.199 you anyway, why for this one? Why wait six years to bring this 109 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.680 charge? Well, I don't know the answer to that except to say that 110 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:11.240 it was brought prior to this year. So I don't know what exactly the 111 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.120 statute limitations is. But remember that this was the subject of a plea agreement 112 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.639 that was, you know, coming undone last year. So I don't know 113 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.240 exactly what they call the tolling of the statute limitations is. So I don't 114 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.040 know the answer to that, and only the Special Council can explain it. 115 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:31.279 But I do know that it is pending and it does carry it's a serious 116 00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.000 charge. I mean, if you look at the idea of lying on a 117 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.240 federal form when it comes to buying a firearm. Because of the tough on 118 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.960 crime approach that the Congress has taken that Joe Biden helped lead when he was 119 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.440 in the Congress, the maximum penalty here is twenty five years in prison. 120 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.360 I mean, when you look at it and look at everything that's going on, 121 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.519 I mean, this is just me speaking. It seems like, you 122 00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:00.919 know, he's maybe do some punishment, But twenty years in prison for falsifying 123 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:05.159 a form to get a gun, it just seems like seems too much to 124 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:11.960 me. But that's okay. Is there any option to plea again, or 125 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:16.600 because he rejected or that plead the deal fell apart, could they come up 126 00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.559 with a new deal. Well, I mean, look, at this point, 127 00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:22.000 there's no indication that Hunter Biden was willing to do anything other than defend 128 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.879 himself. If he wanted to plead guilty, he could have done so. 129 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.000 I think that what would be interesting to watch is the argument that the defense 130 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.799 attorneys are going to try to make. And it's I'm unfortunate. I think 131 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:33.240 we're out of time here, but we know we can get into it later 132 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.399 this week. This idea that perhaps the form was altered. Let that be 133 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.000 your cliffhanger. Okay, all right, Steven Porton, I thank you for 134 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:45.120 the information. You bet all right, We'll talk to you soon. Let's 135 00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:46.759 get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour 136 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:52.080 newsroom. Fire crews in Riverside County are beginning their annual controlled burns to remove 137 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:58.960 excess vegetation and restore native habitats over several hundred acres around Lake Matthews and Lake 138 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:03.480 Skinner. She'll say rising smoke will be visible today from the ninety one, 139 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.679 the fifteen, the two fifteen, Highways seventy four and seventy nine, and 140 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:13.559 other locations. The operations are scheduled to continue until June fourteenth. Evacuation orders 141 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:18.279 have been downgraded to warnings in northern California, where a wildfires burned up to 142 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.879 fourteen thousand acres about sixty miles east of San Francisco. CalFire Battalion Chief Josh 143 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.720 Sylvieia says the wind has been a challenge well, hoping to keep fire moving 144 00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:33.480 away from the populated areas and into the more rural foothills. The fire started 145 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:39.080 on Saturday afternoon in San Joaquin County. It's about fifty percent surrounded. Hundreds 146 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.399 of firefighters have been working to stop it. Two firefighters have been hurt. 147 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:48.519 A judge in San Jose says no to overturning the sentence of Polyclous's killer, 148 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.799 Twelve year old Polly, was kidnapped from her bedroom and killed in nineteen ninety 149 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.080 three. Mark Klass says the judge's ruling is a relief. Hopefully we'll never 150 00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:03.519 hear from Richard Allen Davis again. They did exactly the right thing. Richard 151 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:09.120 Allen Davis was trying to use California's re sentencing reform law from twenty twenty one 152 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.279 to have the judge throw out his death sentence and trigger a new hearing, 153 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.799 but the judge said the new law does not apply to death penalty cases. 154 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:22.200 Palestinian health officials say Israeli strikes overnight have killed eleven people in central Gaza. 155 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.480 Officials say those killed include a woman and three children. The Israeli military says 156 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:31.159 the remains of a person believed to have been taken hostage by Hamas have been 157 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.399 found in a community near the Gaza border. Israel says the thirty five year 158 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.799 old man was killed in the initial attack on October seventh. The discovery comes 159 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:45.519 as Israeli forces are expanding their offensive in the city of Rafa in southern Gaza. 160 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.960 Former President Trump has joined TikTok. His first video posted Saturday night shows 161 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.799 Trump greeting fans at the UFC match in New Jersey. He's already got about 162 00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:03.399 three point four million follows. President Biden has been on TikTok since February. 163 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:09.000 He's got about four hundred thousand and President Both have said that they had at 164 00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:15.320 one point banned TikTok or wanted to ban TikTok, but now both have joined 165 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:20.840 the social media platform that is currently owned by China. When we come back, 166 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.759 ABC's Aaron Travers will have the latest on a possible ceasefire between Israel and 167 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:30.320 Hamas what it is, what are its chances of being approved by both Israel 168 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:35.440 and Hamas. The Manhattan Beach Pier has been shut down because of a bee 169 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.960 swarm. The bees took over late Saturday afternoon. Be experts have been called 170 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.759 in to take a look and figure out what to do next. For now, 171 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:46.519 authorities are just waiting for the bees to leave on their own. A 172 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.879 judge is expected to hear the defense's bid for a new trial for Rebecca Grossman, 173 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.320 the socialite convicted of second degree murder for a hit and run crash that 174 00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.639 killed two young brothers as they crossed a street in Westlake Village. Grossman faces 175 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.000 up to thirty four years to life in state prison if the motion for a 176 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.120 new trial is denied. China has landed a lunar probe on the Moon. 177 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:11.080 The probe touchdown on the dark side of the Moon yesterday morning. It'll start 178 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:15.480 collecting samples from the surface, and if all goes according to plan, it'll 179 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.279 bring those samples back to Earth in the next few months. China apparently plans 180 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.480 to send astronauts to the Moon by twenty thirty to start building a research base 181 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.879 at its South Pole. At six oh five, it's handled on the news. 182 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:30.559 A woman has made history in Mexico. The country is elected its first 183 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:35.559 woman president. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Karen Travers. Karen, 184 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:41.519 there's a new ceasefire offer on the table for the Israel Hamas war. Any 185 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:46.440 hope this one's gonna take hold? The wine House is expressing optimism about that. 186 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:48.559 You know. They said that Hamas officials had come out and welcomed the 187 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:54.480 proposal, but still waiting for the official response. They also had emphasized over 188 00:13:54.519 --> 00:14:00.000 the weekend that this was an Israeli proposal, one that had been arrived at 189 00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:05.799 after intense diplomacy between the administration, other countries that have been working on this, 190 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:09.639 and Israel's national security team, and the White House was very quick to 191 00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.399 say that, you know, they worked on this with the Israelis at multiple 192 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:18.039 levels before President Biden gave his speech on Friday, engaging with the Prime Minister's 193 00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:22.840 office and the Israeli War Cabinet, and that this was something the Israelis had 194 00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.120 agreed to, and they were doing that because there were some public indications and 195 00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:31.519 through reports that the Israelis didn't like what the President had outlined on Friday. 196 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:33.480 But the White House is going to great lanes to say this is an Israeli 197 00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.240 proposal that they had signed off on, and that this is the best way 198 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:41.639 to end the violence right now. So that's interesting that you mentioned that, 199 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:45.360 because some of the stuff that I'm reading this morning is Israel saying no, 200 00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:50.600 we didn't this wasn't our plan, This was the US's plan, and Israel 201 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.240 just made some changes to it. Yeah, I mean President Biden said several 202 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.480 times on Friday in his remarks, this Israeli proposal, this was an Israeli 203 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:03.120 proposal. Well, we heard this again from National Security spokesman John Kirby on 204 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.639 Sunday that it was an Israeli proposal and that was what we That is their 205 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.720 position on this, that this was not something that the United States drew up 206 00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:15.720 and is now forcing both sides to agree to. This was something that they, 207 00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.919 the Israelis presented to Hamas and now it's the waiting game to see where 208 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:22.440 it goes from here. One key issue though, is you know, the 209 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:28.799 sticking point of when hostilities would end and what Israel would like to see with 210 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:35.519 Hamas's capabilities. Is it a fully dismantling eliminating the threat entirely, Because the 211 00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:39.879 President on Friday spoke about Hamas being significantly degraded. He said at this point, 212 00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:45.120 Hamas is no longer capable of carrying out in October seventh attack, and 213 00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:48.320 he said that was one of Israel's main objectives in this war, and he 214 00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.759 called it a righteous one. And then the other thing that I'm seeing are 215 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:58.759 you seeing too that Netnahus said, Hey, our original goals and directives of 216 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:03.480 the same, nothing's changed, and that so talk of a permanent ceasefire is 217 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.600 really a non starter. Which, yes, we had heard from the President 218 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.879 on Friday that that was one of the phases of this agreement was a permanent 219 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:17.279 seasfire. Yeah, and it was in phase two. So Phase one would 220 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:21.039 last for six weeks and include a full and complete ceasefire, the withdrawal of 221 00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:25.399 Israeli forces from the populated areas of Gaza, and the release of a number 222 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:29.000 of hostages, you know, focusing on the vulnerable first women, children, 223 00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:33.000 and people who are sick. Phase two then would include the release of all 224 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:37.360 the remaining living hostages, and the goal is that there would be the negotiation 225 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:42.320 for a temporary ceasefire to become a permanent ceasefire with Israel withdrawing all forces from 226 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:45.720 Gaza. And this is important, the President said, as long as Hamas 227 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:49.720 lives up to its commitments, that is where obviously things get tricky, and 228 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:53.000 that would be something that wanted to be negotiated to get to phase two, 229 00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:59.559 okay, And in it there's talk of releasing the live hostages. Karen, 230 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:03.079 do you have any idea how many may still be alive. We hear it 231 00:17:03.079 --> 00:17:07.200 could be up to one hundred, but we haven't seen or heard from any 232 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:08.839 of them except for like two or three. Right, No, and that's 233 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:14.480 exactly right, and the White House just won't give any you know, they 234 00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:17.240 say that is not something that they can weigh in on. They just don't 235 00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:19.640 have direct insight into that. Okay, Karen Travis, thanks so much for 236 00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:23.000 the information and the update, and we will continue to watch this one. 237 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:26.359 Thanks. All right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out 238 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.960 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. People leave all kinds of stuff behind 239 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.720 when they stay at a vacation rental well Belice yesterday said a cleaning crew in 240 00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:40.279 Alhambra found two hundred and thirty five pounds of methamphetamine inside a rental home last 241 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:44.640 month. Two people seen on security video using a U haul to transport the 242 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:48.920 drugs were arrested when they returned to the home. Local leaders are investigating the 243 00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:53.039 impact meth has had on La County. Methamphetamine was listed in the cause of 244 00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.599 death of more people in La County than any other drug in twenty nineteen and 245 00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.119 twenty twenty. In twenty twenty one, it was nearly a clips by fentanyl. 246 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.279 The La County Medical Examiner. Data is part of what prompted the Board 247 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.920 of Supervisors to request an investigation into the impact of meth on the community. 248 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:11.400 At tomorrow's meeting. The board will hear a motion to direct county departments and 249 00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:15.279 the corner to collaborate with community groups and then report back in three months on 250 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:19.799 meth mortality and trends over the past five years. They'll also ask for recommendations 251 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:23.359 on what can be done about it. Michael Monks KFI News. A pair 252 00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:29.960 of minute Man three ICBMs will be test launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in 253 00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.680 Santa Barbara County. The first launch window opens just after midnight to night's days 254 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:37.400 up until about six am. The second launch is scheduled for overnight tomorrow night. 255 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:42.799 The Air Force Global Strike Command says the tests are to demonstrate the readiness 256 00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:48.039 of US nuclear forces. One person has been killed about two dozen others have 257 00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.000 been heard in a shooting at a street party in Akron, Ohio. Police 258 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:56.920 Chief Brian Hardings says they believe at least some shots last night were fired from 259 00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:00.319 a passing car. Do you believe that some individuals at the party may have 260 00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:07.039 returned fire based on physical evidence? Officials say they've recovered two handguns and shell 261 00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:11.519 casings from several guns, including assault style weapons. A reward for information leading 262 00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:17.640 to the identification, arrest and successful prosecution of the shooters has topped twenty two 263 00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:26.400 thousand dollars. A rally has been held in West Palm Beach, Florida, 264 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:30.359 in support of former President Trump. He was convicted in New York last week 265 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:36.160 of thirty four felony counts over documents related to a hush money payment to porn 266 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:41.200 actress Stormy Daniels. Trump supporters in Florida yesterday repeated Trump's claims of a rigged 267 00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:44.359 trial. I think it was a kangaroo court. I think the justice system 268 00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:47.960 is corrupt. There's a lot of liberal judges, and I think they're going 269 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:53.279 after Trump. Biden can't win without stopping him. Some Trump supporters drove around 270 00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:57.119 with American flags and honk horns as you could hear. Others lined the streets 271 00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:03.720 waving Trump posters and Trump twenty twenty four flags. So we know that ozempic 272 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.799 is all the rage. And I know somebody who's taking it. She looks 273 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:11.000 amazing. And I know it's helped a lot of people, and it's become 274 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:18.119 such a big business that food companies are even addressing what to do because when 275 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:22.119 people apparently are on ozepic, they won their appetites go away, but they 276 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:29.920 also because of the drug, have certain nutritional needs. So Nestley, which 277 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:33.880 makes like Stoffers and Journo, probably not on the diet for ozempic users, 278 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:40.240 but they have come up with a new frozen food brand called Vital Pursuit. 279 00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:45.880 It's twelve different portion controlled meals that are high in fiber, which is intended 280 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:52.599 to be a companion for the so called GLP one weight loss medications and consumers 281 00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.359 focused on weight management. So the obesity medication I said, this was big 282 00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:02.519 business. It's soon going to be a one hundred billion dollar business. It's 283 00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:07.519 about nine percent of the US population or it's expecting nine percent of the US 284 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.720 population to be on a weight loss drug by the year twenty thirty. And 285 00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:18.000 the drugs have changed the way people eat, both in sizing and in frequency. 286 00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:26.119 So Neslie says Vital Pursuit provides accessible, great tasting food options that supports 287 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:30.359 the need of consumers in this category. Suggested prices like four ninety nine or 288 00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:36.039 less sandwich, melts, pizzas, bowls, you know, healthy sounding food, 289 00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:40.960 but they have extra nutrients like potassium and calcium and iron that the prescription 290 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:45.160 drug users might miss from eating less food. Overall, so expect that to 291 00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:49.720 be shown up in stores in the frozen food aisle in the not too distant 292 00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:55.319 future. Tomorrow, the Dodgers had to Pittsburgh to take on the Pirates, 293 00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:57.640 with the first pitch going out at three forty in the afternoon. You can 294 00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:03.319 listen to every play every Dodgers game on AM five to seventy LA Sports live 295 00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:06.799 from the Galpin Motors Broadcast booth. You can also stream all the games in 296 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:11.480 HD on the iHeartRadio app keyword AM five to seventy LA Sports. Cruis are 297 00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:15.440 making progress in their fight against a fourteen thousand acre fire that's burning in San 298 00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.079 Joaquin Valley east of the Bay Area. As of late last night, the 299 00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:25.799 wind driven fire that started on Saturday afternoon is fifty percent surrounded. All evacuation 300 00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:30.920 orders have been downgraded to evacuation warnings. History has been made in Mexico with 301 00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:34.920 the election of the country's first ever female president. Badia Shinbaum is the former 302 00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:42.519 mayor of Mexico City and will succeed President andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. She's pledged 303 00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:47.759 to govern with the same principles as Lopez Obrador, calling that a good thing 304 00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:52.400 for all Mexicans. The La City Council's voted to amend and ordnance that bans 305 00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.000 the raising of almost any flag except the American flag on city property. Now 306 00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:00.799 LA will be able to and has raised the prime flag outside government buildings for 307 00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:04.759 the first time because it is Pride month. At six o five is handled 308 00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:08.119 on the news. North Korea says it's going to stop sending trash balloons to 309 00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:14.160 South Korea, but not before sending hundreds more over the border. At the 310 00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:17.680 at five point fifty, we're going to be talking to a woman who is 311 00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:23.920 helping bring nature into the backyard with pond pools, really interesting stuff. So 312 00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:27.480 you'll hope you'll stick around for that. Right now, let's say good morning 313 00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:33.240 to ABC's Jim Ryan, and we've got a beef Jim Ryan. Yeah, 314 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:37.240 a big beef out in the agriculture industry, and that's where this is playing 315 00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:41.519 out and in legislatures you have regulators. So it's been a year, actually 316 00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:45.880 a year amy since the Food and Drug Administration give its approval to the sale 317 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:52.759 and distribution of cultivated meat. This is meat that is grown in labs. 318 00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:56.519 Essentially, you take the cells of a living animal, you cultivatade them in 319 00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:00.880 a steel tank, using vitamins and protein and sugar and the stuff that makes 320 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:06.920 these cells divide, and you come up with a pile of meat. It's 321 00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:11.440 real, actual meat that came from the living animals cells, but without killing 322 00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:15.559 the living animal. Now, the theory is that you could take that cell 323 00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:21.519 and double and double and multiply double it and feed millions of people with those 324 00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:27.079 on the one set of without the massive ranches, without the corn that's required 325 00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:32.000 the feed, the methane that comes off of cattle ranches, for example. 326 00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:36.839 And so I mean it economically, one day it might actually be a really 327 00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:40.559 practical and good thing. But for right now, you know, the cultivated 328 00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:45.359 meat or cultivated protein industry is facing from real headwinds. I would think so, 329 00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:48.680 because you just telling me about that is making me want to throw up. 330 00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:52.279 M That's the other thing. They need to find a new name for 331 00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:55.880 it. Lab grown meat doesn't really have a ring to it, and it's 332 00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:57.359 something that makes people want to eat it. But I'm looking at a picture 333 00:24:57.440 --> 00:25:00.720 right now, I'm just going to ask you what is does it look like? 334 00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:04.480 It looks exactly like I'm looking at a Chicken fil A right now, 335 00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:10.519 and it looks like a chicken fil a because it is chicken meat. It's 336 00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:14.240 formed into a filet. It's cooked and cut up and looks exactly It looks 337 00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:18.599 pretty appetizing actually, and it's said to taste exactly like chicken because it is 338 00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:22.279 chicken. Same holds true for beef and for fish and for the other things 339 00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:26.720 that can be formulated and created and made into something that can be consumed. 340 00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:30.960 But this stuff's only about ten years old, the technology is, and so 341 00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:33.720 some lawmakers are concerned about that. They want to see more testing done on 342 00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:40.000 it. They also have other concerns, you know, agricultural interests and lobbyists 343 00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:42.839 and people who don't want to lose their way of life or their living and 344 00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:47.640 so there's a lot of opposition to this. Now, okay, and you 345 00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:49.240 mentioned that the chicken file a looks like a chicken fil a? Does it 346 00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:55.759 look like a real chicken file a or like a formed chicken file a? 347 00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:59.119 It has been formed, but it doesn't look like it. Oh what about 348 00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:02.240 a steak? Does it look like a steak? Or is it it? 349 00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:04.480 Does? It looks like a steak? So, you know, besides the 350 00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:11.319 technology that's gone into creating this thing that tastes is actually bee for chicken or 351 00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:17.000 whatever. They've got into the artistry of what it should look like so that 352 00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:21.279 it looks appealing and appetizing and something that people want to eat. So then 353 00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:22.519 okay, so I'm going to go back to the steak too, because this 354 00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:26.839 is just creeping me out. So does it grow like a side of beef 355 00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:32.480 or does it grow individual steaks? No, well, it's individual cells. 356 00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:36.680 So as these things multiply and the divide and they multiply the cells, they 357 00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.000 it becomes a larger and larger mass of material, right, and then it 358 00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:47.160 is formed by a machine or by by hand, by something to be a 359 00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:51.960 steak in other words, And so it's formed into this thing from this mass 360 00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:53.720 of cells. So it's not as though you're growing a steak that looks like 361 00:26:53.759 --> 00:26:56.319 a steak, or you know, put cells together and it comes out looking 362 00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:59.880 like a chicken drum steak or something. You've got to form it into what 363 00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:04.799 is okay, and whatever they're growing, it's not ever alive, correct, 364 00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:07.319 Well, the initial cells were from a live animal. They don't have to 365 00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:11.200 kill the animal either. It can be taken from an animal that's still alive, 366 00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:12.799 right, Okay, that's the other part of it. You know, 367 00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:18.799 animal rights activists think this is a great thing because you're not slating slaughtering billions, 368 00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:22.920 literally billions of animals every year to create something to feed people. And 369 00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:26.079 speaking of that, you know in parts of the world where they don't have 370 00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:30.240 cattle everywhere, in cattle ranches and chicken farms, you know all this. 371 00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:33.880 You know, food is scarce and this may be one way to sort of 372 00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:38.359 backstop that in a way. And where is this all being made? In 373 00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:45.400 California? Oh goodie. There are two companies, Good Meat and Upside Foods, 374 00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:48.279 both of them California startups, and they've been given the green light by 375 00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:53.079 the Food and Drug Administration to go ahead. But in terms of the economics 376 00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:59.279 of it, the stuff costs. The initial hamburger that was made from cultivated 377 00:27:59.279 --> 00:28:03.680 meat costs something like thirty thousand dollars or something right now. The by producing 378 00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.799 in mass they've got the price down to something like forty pounds of forty dollars 379 00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:12.359 per pound. But you won't find it in any US stores, any restaurants. 380 00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:15.480 There was a restaurant in Singapore that was selling it for a while, 381 00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:19.720 but that was just about it it's so expensive to produce at this point, 382 00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:23.680 Okay, and so, but they're still making it because they've been given So 383 00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:26.720 what are they doing with it all? If it's not being sold? Are 384 00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:30.920 they just thrown it away? Probably? I mean they're using it to experiment 385 00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:33.160 and to figure out new ways of doing this thing. But until they're they're 386 00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:38.960 actually producing it a huge scale, then unfortunately for them, it probably isn't 387 00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:44.599 gonna work. But it's got to. Is there twenty five thousand gallon tank 388 00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:48.359 that they produced this stuff in, but they'd need something like a tank that's 389 00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:53.640 ten times that size to produce the meat in quantities that would be economically feasible. 390 00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:57.799 It just sounds so weird, but it is weird. Maybe it's maybe 391 00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:00.839 it's the future. And when when it does land on store shelves, are 392 00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:03.680 they just going to put it out there or are they going to have to 393 00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:06.640 like, will there have to be labeling on That's a good point. Some 394 00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:10.079 states, there are seven states right now they're looking at some kind of regulation 395 00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:12.960 of that, some of them flat out banning it altogether, the sale and 396 00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:18.880 production of this stuff with criminal sanctions. Iowa, the governor they're assigned to 397 00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:22.519 build prohibiting schools from buying lab grown meat. And yes, some states are 398 00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:25.519 saying, look, if you're going to sell it here, it's got to 399 00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:32.160 be clearly labeled as cultivated meat or lab grown chicken or beef for fish. 400 00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:36.480 Okay, so nothing on the store shelves now, But watch those labels people. 401 00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:41.599 I suspect you wouldn't try it at this point. I am not in 402 00:29:41.680 --> 00:29:48.200 the I'm in the no category lab grown. Yeah. Okay, Jim Ryan, 403 00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:52.240 thank you so much. See all right, let's get back to some 404 00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:53.880 of the stories coming out of the CAMFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man 405 00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:59.200 who fell about thirty feet down a cliff near the Point Firmin Lighthouse lighthouse in 406 00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:02.559 San Peter has been rescued. He had to be hoisted up last night by 407 00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:07.319 a paramedic who was lowered from an LA Fire helicopter. Firefighters say it's not 408 00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:10.039 clear how the guy fell, but say he apparently hurt his back when he 409 00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:15.759 did. A rolling strike by unionized academic workers that various UC campuses is expected 410 00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:18.759 to spread to three more schools this week, including U SEE Irvine. The 411 00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:25.079 workers are upset about the university system's response to pro Palestinian protests. They want 412 00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:30.680 all criminal and conduct charges dropped against anyone who was protesting. They also want 413 00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:34.559 students to have guarantees of freedom of speech and p political expression on campus, 414 00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:38.200 and for researchers to be able to opt out of funding sources tied to the 415 00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:45.119 Israeli Defense Forces. Scientists that u se Irvine have discovered a person's body clock 416 00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:48.440 can be used to fight cancer. The study builds off research that shows maintaining 417 00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:52.240 a consistent circadium rhythm you know, eating, going to bed, and waking 418 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:57.160 around the same times can help prevent cancer and other diseases. Uc Irvine scientists 419 00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:02.559 say the new results showed delivering cancer immunotherapy at the time of day when that 420 00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:07.079 clock is most vulnerable, can harness the power of the body's natural rhythm to 421 00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:11.200 fight cancer. Researchers say the study, released last week, offers new avenues 422 00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:15.400 for cancer prevention and treatment. In Orange County, Corbin Carson KFI News of 423 00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:21.759 Interesting Stuff. Beaches in del Mar been closed after a man was attacked by 424 00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:25.359 a shark. Lifeguards in North San Diego County say the man was swimming with 425 00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:29.440 a group early yesterday when he got bits several times about one hundred yards off 426 00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:32.880 shore. The man has bites to his torso, his left arm, and 427 00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:36.599 his chin. He was taken to the hospital and is expected to survive. 428 00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:41.279 Beaches are closed until at least tomorrow in the area. California's first heat wave 429 00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:45.119 of the year hits tomorrow. The National Weather Services issued a three day warning 430 00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:51.480 for the entire Central Valley, which could hit temperatures of one hundred eight degrees. 431 00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:55.480 Heat advisories will also be up for parts of the San Francisco Bay Area, 432 00:31:55.599 --> 00:32:00.000 where forecasters predict it'll be near one hundred. China has landed a lunar 433 00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:01.799 probe on the Moon. The probe touched down on the dark side of the 434 00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:06.839 Moon yesterday morning. It'll begin collecting samples from the surface, and if all 435 00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:09.160 goes according to plan, we'll bring those samples back to Earth in the next 436 00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:13.000 few months. We're just minutes away from Handle. On the news this morning, 437 00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:15.839 that and Yahoo says Biden's plan for a ceasefire in Gaza isn't a good 438 00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:21.559 deal. We'll be talking about whether Israel's gonna take it if Hamas takes it 439 00:32:21.599 --> 00:32:24.759 too. But right now, let's say good morning to the owner of Serita 440 00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:30.440 Landscapes, Sarah Bendrick. Good morning, Sarah, Hi to morning, and 441 00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:32.359 thank you for having me. Sure. So, Sarah, I saw this 442 00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:37.400 little new trend in swimming pools and thought, well, that sounds kind of 443 00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:43.079 interesting. It's kind of taking us back to nature in the backyard with ponds. 444 00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:47.359 Yeah, pond pools are a new thing right now. I mean they 445 00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:51.519 have been around for a while, but they're definitely catching on and we're seeing 446 00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:54.160 a lot more clients request them, which is super exciting. I think it's 447 00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:58.799 a great way to get a water feature in your backyard that's swimmable and you 448 00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:02.240 don't need the chemicals that wood for a normal pool, and you also just 449 00:33:02.279 --> 00:33:07.319 bring in that natural element into that outdoor space that completely changes the feel and 450 00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:09.799 kind of brings that more natural by the house, which is great for kids. 451 00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:15.559 Okay, so tell us what does a pond pool look like and then 452 00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:19.920 we'll talk about kind of how it works and is more environmentally friendly. But 453 00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:22.440 does it look like a regular pool or does it look like a pond or 454 00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:28.799 is it a combination of both. So it can be a combination of both, 455 00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:32.319 but it more looks like a pond. It's basically a giant, swimmable 456 00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:36.759 pond. So they're fishing it, there's plants in it. It's usually lined 457 00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:38.720 with rocks. However, there are ways to make it look a little more 458 00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:44.400 modern or a little bit more like a traditional pool if that is what you 459 00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:50.319 desire, especially if you have limited space. Using rectangular spaces or rectangular angles 460 00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:52.720 can be a little helpful with that as well. Okay, and is the 461 00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:57.519 bottom like is the you know, the base of the pool is it? 462 00:33:57.559 --> 00:34:00.960 Is it concrete or is it dirt? So there's a few different ways to 463 00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:07.000 build them. I'm most familiar with the aquascapes version, and they basically rock 464 00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:09.519 in everything. And so there's a pond liner that goes down it's dug out 465 00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:13.960 and there's a pond liner, and then there's a lot of large boulders that 466 00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:16.880 go in to create the bottom and create the side, to create nooks and 467 00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:21.559 cranny so that the fish have places to hide if they need to from predators 468 00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:24.199 or if they just want to get away from for some peace and quiet. 469 00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:28.280 So it is a rock bottom, and then you fill it in with a 470 00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:30.000 little bit of gravel, so it very much feels like you're swimming in a 471 00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:36.000 natural swimming hole. Okay, So now this sounds so cool, and the 472 00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:38.719 pictures I've seen of it, I was like, this just makes such great 473 00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:43.239 sense, you know, But I could see where some people might shy away 474 00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:45.679 from it because they're like, Hey, if I've got a pool, I 475 00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:49.159 can just dump in the chemicals once a week and I'm good to go. 476 00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:53.360 But how does this one work? Yeah, so it's probably not for everybody, 477 00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:57.559 but it's definitely for people who are looking for more natural ways to swim 478 00:34:57.599 --> 00:35:00.159 without all the chlorine, or for people who are can bring nature into their 479 00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:05.360 yard or have maybe a closer relationship to their backyard. It brings in Like 480 00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:07.880 we have a non swimmabole pond at my parents' house and my dog drinks out 481 00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:13.440 of it all day long. It's healthy, clean water for him. But 482 00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:15.199 and sorry, I think I ran away from your question. What was that 483 00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:20.400 exactly? It was basically how does it work? Like? How does how 484 00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:23.079 do you keep it clean so it doesn't get three inches of ponds come on 485 00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:27.039 the top of it, and you know, how do you keep it so 486 00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:34.840 it's nice and clean and swimmable and still usable. Yeah. So it does 487 00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:37.159 use two ways of filtration, and there's some other things you can add to 488 00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:40.159 it, but basically, it has a skimmer like a pond or like a 489 00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:45.559 pool wood which takes any debris from the top that would whether it's fallen pollen 490 00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:47.960 or leaves or any debris like that, it'll clear that out. Collected in 491 00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:51.800 a basin, you just have to empty that out. So that's very much 492 00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:55.039 like a pool. But then the bigger system is the natural filtration. And 493 00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:58.920 so all these ponds have a build up to like a little bit of a 494 00:35:58.960 --> 00:36:02.239 waterfall that keeps the water moving and it pumps the water into a wetland, 495 00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:07.599 and the wetland is full of different sized gravel. There's also some different size 496 00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:12.559 or different they call them bioballs, which are basically a little if they could 497 00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:14.679 be plastic, or they could be clay, they could be a few different 498 00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:19.599 things, and that helps grow beneficial bacteria. So you have beneficial bacteria that's 499 00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:22.199 helping keep the pond clean. You have the natural filtration through the rocks, 500 00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:25.920 and then you also have the plant material, so the fish. You need 501 00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:30.079 to have the fish, the plants, and the natural filtration to have the 502 00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:35.039 right balance. If you get too much sun, you definitely want to add 503 00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:37.920 a little bit of shade. That does help. If you do have some 504 00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:42.719 alergaye stuff, but my parents palm. We hardly feed the fish because when 505 00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:45.480 we don't feed the fish, they clean up any of the little allergae that 506 00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:47.880 might be hanging around. Okay, so you basically are creating a little mini 507 00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:53.920 ecosystem exactly. That's right, sure, and it's really Yeah, it's really 508 00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:58.320 cool when you get the right balance of plants and the fish, because the 509 00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:01.480 fish fertilizes the plant and then the plants clean everything up and then it gets 510 00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:07.320 filtered through these different systems, and there's also UV light filters you can add 511 00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:09.800 to it as well if you need to. And when you put these pools 512 00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:15.880 and you've got fish in them, does it attract critters or is there or 513 00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:19.599 do you just kind of deal with that as it comes. Yeah, there's 514 00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:22.880 definitely a different element to it. For sure. It can especially birds. 515 00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:27.800 Sometimes we'll see the fish from above and so there's different ways to tear that. 516 00:37:28.119 --> 00:37:31.239 But one the depth of these Oftentimes we're building them five six feet deep 517 00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:36.800 because they can be deeper depending, so they are quite deep and there's lots 518 00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:38.559 of places for the fish to go and hide when they're built it. So 519 00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:44.519 we've partnered with Aqua Skates who's actually based in Los Angeles, Sorry, no 520 00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:49.159 Aqua Skates California Water Skates who are based in Los Angeles, and we've worked 521 00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:51.880 with them for all of the ponds we've installed, and they do a great 522 00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:54.039 job of creating usual looks and cranny to help the fish kind of hide out 523 00:37:54.239 --> 00:38:00.280 nice. Okay. And then Sarah like, as compared to a traditional pool, 524 00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:05.440 is it more or less about the same? I would say it's it's 525 00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:09.880 about the same, potentially less usually per square foot, it's it costs less 526 00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:15.159 money. Access is always you know, something with a pool or a swim 527 00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:17.159 wool pump, and we get big machinery in there to dig these holes out 528 00:38:17.159 --> 00:38:22.239 and remove the soil that needs to come out, so it kind of it 529 00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:24.880 kind of depends that. I would say that between fifty thousand and two hundred 530 00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:29.880 thousand is a good range for these swimming book coy ponds. They're also called 531 00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:32.039 recreation ponds, and that will kind of get you in the ballpark. Most 532 00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:36.800 of ours have fell in between the eighty to one hundred and twenty very great, 533 00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:39.920 okay. And then if people want more information from you, where would 534 00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:44.639 they find it? If they want to check me out? On Facebook, 535 00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:49.079 Instagram or YouTube. It Sarah Bendrick and not Sarah without an eight. And 536 00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:52.519 of course my landscape company is to read a landscape's design. And I got 537 00:38:52.559 --> 00:38:54.840 to give a shout out to California Waterscapes as well, because they've been our 538 00:38:54.840 --> 00:38:58.880 partner in all these projects. It sounds so cool, and like I said, 539 00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:01.519 from the pictures, go google it if you're interested in seeing what these 540 00:39:01.559 --> 00:39:05.239 pond pools look like. I just think it's such a fun idea as we 541 00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:08.280 get back to nature in the city, you know. Oh yeah, it 542 00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:13.320 offers such a cool opportunity, especially if you have kids, because the way 543 00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:16.199 you can interact with water when you have rocks and plants and fish and that's 544 00:39:16.239 --> 00:39:20.840 safety swim in is really cool. You can even put little beaches to roll 545 00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:23.719 up into it, so there's a lot of dynamics that can really help balance 546 00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:28.400 out your landscape and make it look completely different. Very cool. Sarah Bendrick, 547 00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:30.800 Thank you so much for your time this morning. Appreciate it, all 548 00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:34.039 right, thank you so much for having me. All right, take care. 549 00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:37.719 I just think that sounds so cool, a pond pool. If I 550 00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:39.639 had a backyard, I'd look into it. Let's get back to some of 551 00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:43.480 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A judge in 552 00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:47.159 Van Ees is set to hear lawyers for Rebecca Grossman argue for a new trial. 553 00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:52.239 The Grossman Burne Foundation co founder was convicted of second degree murder in February 554 00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:57.239 for a crash in Westlake Village that killed two young brothers. Her lawyers want 555 00:39:57.239 --> 00:40:00.599 a new trial on the murder charges. They claim there are at least five 556 00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:05.639 reasons Grossman is entitled to have the case heard by another jury. Grossman's supposed 557 00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:07.360 to be sentenced next week. She's looking it up to thirty four years to 558 00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:12.519 life in prison. Jury selection is starting in Delaware in the federal gun case 559 00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:17.159 against President Biden's son Hunter ABC's Stephen Portnoy says the president's son is accused of 560 00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:22.159 lying on federal gun purchase forms in twenty eighteen when he said he was not 561 00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:24.480 a drug addict. President's son wrote in his book that he was a crack 562 00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:29.559 addict at that time, and prosecutors have sett in court papers that the evidence 563 00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:32.480 they intend to present from Hunter Biden's laptop will include pictures of him with a 564 00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:37.239 crack pipe in his hand. Hunter Biden is pleaded not guilty and claims he's 565 00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:42.320 being unfairly targeted by his father's justice department. The younger Biden is also facing 566 00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:45.280 a separate trial here in California in September on charges of failing to pay more 567 00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:53.679 than a million dollars in taxes. Pliments will aligne so nice nice verse, 568 00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:58.840 Yes, they will align. Six planets are lining up in the night sky. 569 00:40:58.920 --> 00:41:02.480 The phenomenon is referred two as a parade of planets. It'll peak this 570 00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:07.280 morning, but can still be seen over several days. About an hour before 571 00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:12.559 sunrise. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune appear 572 00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:16.559 near each other in the Solar System. Nasas's only Saturn and Mars will be 573 00:41:16.639 --> 00:41:21.840 visible with the naked eye. Experts say the planets look close together because of 574 00:41:21.880 --> 00:41:28.920 their specific orbital speeds and paths around the Sun.
