WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:06.440 You're listening to KFI AM sixty wake Up Call with Me Amy King on demand 2 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:15.439 on the iHeartRadio app KFI and KOST HD two, Los Angeles, Orange County. 3 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:27.920 It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King. It's 4 00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:31.600 five o'clock. Time to get up, get your day going. This is 5 00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:35.520 your wake up call for Tuesday, March ninth. Good morning, I'm Amy 6 00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:40.840 King. So we made it through the eclipse. Did you watch it yesterday? 7 00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:43.520 Had? I got my glasses. I got them from Mondo from the 8 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:50.000 Gary and Shannon Show, so I was able to see the eclipse. It 9 00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:54.560 was kind of cool here, not spectacular here, but cool as you're seeing 10 00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:59.479 the moon crossing across the Sun. I tried to get pictures of it didn't 11 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:03.920 turn out at all. I used the eclipse glasses to cover the lens so 12 00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:08.159 I wouldn't damage it. Didn't turn out at all. I did miss a 13 00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.439 very big thing tagged to the eclipse, and I'm kind of bummed about it. 14 00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.000 I know Nick Poliochini took advantage of it, but that was Krispy Cream 15 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:23.040 had special eclipsed doughnuts, so they were the original glazed with chocolate icing and 16 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:30.079 then dusted with silver sprinkles to represent the darkened sky, and then they had 17 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.159 butter cream frosting and they topped it with an oreo cookie. Sounds like a 18 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.560 big It was delicious. Oh there he is, Yeah, I coincidentally I 19 00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.719 am here early. Yes, No, it was delicious and it was a 20 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.439 cookies and cream also underneath that oreo, so carry very good. That butter 21 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.319 cream was a cookies and cream. It sounds like a whole lot of sweet. 22 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:51.519 It was a whole lot of sweet, a whole lot of sugar. 23 00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:56.840 So yes, trust me, still a lot of sugar high. Okay. 24 00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:00.640 So our buddy Rick Johnson, actually he used to work here at KFI. 25 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:06.400 He was our digital website guy, and he's he's now moved on to bigger 26 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:07.680 and better things. He's an author. In fact, he's got a new 27 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:09.639 book out. We're going to talk to him at some point about it. 28 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:15.120 But he traveled to Dallas and went to Addison's Circle Park and then he posted 29 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.159 some stuff about it. So he and I were texting back and forth and 30 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:22.159 I said, can I share the audio of what you got there? And 31 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:32.360 this is the crowd is they hit They're about to hit totality and then they 32 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:42.000 had Star Wars music in at the park and the crowd goes wild. Oh 33 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:46.800 and that little moment of silence that was him swearing. But it was just 34 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.719 it was very cool. And I watched it on CNN and Fox and that 35 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:53.159 kind of stuff, and it was I mean, it is powerful. And 36 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:57.479 I've heard that from like from everybody who's been there. They said, it's 37 00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:02.680 just like this amazing, powerful, surreal experience. And I'm like, now 38 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.400 I want to see an eclipse. We don't get one until twenty twenty four. 39 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:10.919 Oh, no, twenty forty four. This is twenty twenty four. 40 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.319 We don't get one for another twenty years. But here's what's ahead. On 41 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.240 the wake up Call, the LAPD says the death of a five to six 42 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.319 month old baby on the four or five freeway in your Culder City could be 43 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.680 connected to a man's murder in Woodland Hills and a deadly crash in Redondo Beach. 44 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.840 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has picked a date to start an 45 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:36.120 offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafa. While he didn't say what the 46 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:40.400 date was, he says that entering the city is necessary for victory over the 47 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:46.000 Palestinian militant group Hamas. We're gonna be talking with ABC's Jordana Miller about this 48 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:52.039 in just a minute. And Yu Khan has won back to back NCAA Championships, 49 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.479 beating Perdue last night in the men's title game seventy five to sixty. 50 00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:59.560 At six oh five, it's handle on the news. The woman spotted on 51 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:04.240 video smashing out car windshields all over La County has pleaded not guilty. Let's 52 00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.800 get started with some of the stories coming out of the KMFI twenty four hour 53 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:12.000 newsroom. The LAPD says a baby found dead on the four or five in 54 00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:16.560 Culover City could be connected to two other deadly scenes. CHP Officer Steven Selass 55 00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:21.839 says first responders found the baby on the roadway yesterday and a nine year old 56 00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:26.240 on the side of the freeway. She had moderate injuries. Where they push 57 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.600 or were they did they jump out? You know, we're still trying to 58 00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.319 figure out get to the bottom of how they ended up on the freeways. 59 00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.560 The girls were found shortly before a woman was killed in Redondo Beach when her 60 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:41.439 car slammed into a tree. Police say the two events may also be connected 61 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.240 to the murder of a man in Woodland Hills. The CEO of Pick and 62 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.519 Save is working with investors to try to save some ninety nine cents only stores. 63 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:54.040 The ninety nine has filed bankruptcy because of financial losses during the pandemic and 64 00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.920 the inability to keep up with inflation. Mark Miller says he's working quickly to 65 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:01.160 try to save the stores and bring back bart for buyers. When entrepreneurs start 66 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:05.879 to get big and other people get involved, processes become more important in a 67 00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:10.519 company than the content. Miller says he's only looking to save the one hundred 68 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:13.959 and forty three stores in California, and if he's successful, we'll shut the 69 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.759 stores down for ninety days for improvements. The ninety nine announced last week it 70 00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:21.920 would be winding down business and has already started liquidating sales. Chris Adler kf 71 00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:28.240 i Knews a new bill in California would change Ticketmaster's dominance over live event ticketing. 72 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.160 Grammy winner Jay King says when Ticketmaster and Live Nation merged in twenty ten, 73 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:38.959 it became a monopoly. Monopoly means one one entity who benefits from the 74 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:45.439 system they control. AB twenty eight oh eight helped fix this broken system by 75 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:49.360 creating competition. Ticketmaster controls eighty percent of primary ticket sales in the US. 76 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:55.279 King says increasing competition will lead to lower fees and better service. The law 77 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:59.839 would also make it illegal to limit the transfer or resale of tickets to penel 78 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:05.000 or penalized, discriminate against, or deny access to an event for resellers. 79 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:12.680 Time to say good morning to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana, first 80 00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.800 of all, I want to talk about Natannell who coming out yesterday and saying 81 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:21.319 they've got a date for RAFA. Right. Well, N'taennielle, you know, 82 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:29.439 continues to threaten the RAFA operation in the face of opposition from the United 83 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:33.600 States and European leaders and just about everybody in this case, yeah, just 84 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:40.360 about everybody. And in this case, N'tennielle suddenly put out this video announcement 85 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.439 that they have a date for the operation. Of course didn't tell us what 86 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:48.879 the date is, but it's clear that it's related to Israel's decision to pull 87 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:55.519 all of their forces and every combat soldier out of southern Gaza. That decision 88 00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.839 drew a lot of criticism from N'ataielle's far right partners in the government, and 89 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.879 a couple of them were threatening to bolt and bring down the government. And 90 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:08.879 so suddenly we saw an Attenniell scrambling to say, no, no, no, 91 00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.800 Rafa's going to happen. We have a date. The war's not over. 92 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.759 We're going to vanquish Hamas in Rafa. You know, it's a lot 93 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:20.519 of talk, and you know, clearly Nataniell thinks there's a strategic interest and 94 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:26.079 many do for Israel to go into Rafa, but realistically, on the ground, 95 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:30.040 you need many, many weeks to carry out an assault on Rafa. 96 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:34.399 First of all, right, now there's a window of opportunity for Goza Seafire. 97 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:40.639 It's being negotiated. We've heard Israel's respond. Hamasa's response to the United 98 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:44.639 States is waiting, and that's going to take, you know, a week 99 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:51.040 perhaps two before that possibility is exhausted. And then Israel has to not only 100 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:56.480 call up troops, bring troops back in and evacuate a million civilians. I 101 00:07:56.519 --> 00:08:01.360 mean, an actual assault on Rafa, most experts here will not be for 102 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.680 another six weeks, eight weeks, two months, two and a half months. 103 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.639 I mean, it's not something that is imminent, and it never really 104 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.000 has been and it's not going to happen overnight. As you mentioned, now 105 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:18.839 you talked about that window that so we're we hear that they might be making 106 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:24.360 progress in talks and then nothing comes of it. But now we're hearing again 107 00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.959 that there may be some meeting of the minds or that the two sides are 108 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.679 getting closer to a ceasefire deal, which would be good, but would also, 109 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:39.080 as you just mentioned, could give them time to move all of those 110 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:43.799 people who've gone to Rafa to escape the fighting, to move them to another 111 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.440 area. Right, So we are I mean, it often feels like we're 112 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:54.080 on a roller an emotional rollercoaster. Would be talk, I mean, certainly 113 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.320 for the Israeli families and certainly for the country at large, since it's a 114 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:05.639 small country and there's been such a vocal public plea for months on the from 115 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.840 the families of the hostages to you know, get them out. So the 116 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.919 whole country you know, goes up and down. But you know, Israel 117 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.320 for the first time was saying there's been progress, and then Hamas said, 118 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.159 well, Israel didn't really meet our demands, but we're still going to look 119 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:28.320 at the deal. It's probably more spin than what's really happening, because the 120 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:33.399 United States says also that you know, there was progress made and now everyone's 121 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:37.799 waiting, essentially, you know, twenty four to forty eight hours to hear 122 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:43.279 the response from Hamas. I mean, it's a good moment right now to 123 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:48.759 move forward with a hostage relief deal. First of all, Israel has pulled 124 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.200 almost all of their troops out of the Gaza Strip, which is what Hamas. 125 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:58.360 You know, it is many steps towards Hamas's demands that all troops leave 126 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:03.320 the Gauza Strip. There's still a few thousands, but much less when we 127 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:05.879 think at the height of the war there were fifty thousand Israeli troops. Now 128 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:16.240 there's a few thousands. Also, you know the push by President Biden after 129 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:22.879 the AID workers were killed in that terrible tragic accident, and as famine looms 130 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:28.240 in the North, you know, there seems to be a new urgency led 131 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:33.519 by the President to push all the sides to cut a deal and to pause 132 00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.559 the fighting. And so they are pushing hard on all the sides, on 133 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.639 Cutter, which has the most leverage, on Hamas, on the Egyptians, 134 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:46.840 which also have a say right because they control the borders in and out of 135 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.200 the Gaza Strip, and then and Biden and the administration is putting pressure on 136 00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:56.759 Israel. So we know that Israel, for example, now has said, 137 00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:01.639 well we'll let most of the Gosens go back to Northern Gods without security checks. 138 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.679 That means that Israel, you know, whereas before they wanted to make 139 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.279 sure that men of fighting age were not armed and moving back up to the 140 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.279 Gaza Strip, Israel it's going to say, okay, well we'll just let 141 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.159 whoever wants to go back up to Northern Godzap for the most part go if 142 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:22.879 they're not you know, identified militants. So that's that's a concession that Israel 143 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.279 seems to have made in this round. And we'll see if that's good enough 144 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:33.399 for Hamas you know, it would the same parameters are there that we've been 145 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:39.000 talking about for weeks, forty hostages out for a six week ceasefire, you 146 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.159 know, one hundreds more trucks per day that would come into the Gaza Strip, 147 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:50.639 and then during that six week period there would be discussions to extend the 148 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.480 ceasefire and bring out more of the hostages. Okay, well, let's hope 149 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.799 that some progress actually is being made this time and well question all right, 150 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:03.279 thank you, Jordana Miller, appreciate your input. Okay, all right, 151 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.679 talk, So let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the 152 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.679 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The Justice Department has announced the arrest of a 153 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.840 man in Idaho accused of planning to carry out attacks on churches in court a 154 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.559 Lane after pledging support to ISIS. The eighteen year old was arrested Saturday. 155 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.039 The Fed say he planned to attack a specific church over the weekend. According 156 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:28.000 to the charging documents, his attack plan involved using flame covered weapons, explosives, 157 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:33.039 knives, a machete, a pipe, and ultimately firearms. ABC's Christian 158 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.679 Cordero says investigators have said they believed the man may have been motivated motivated by 159 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.919 a terror attack last month in Russia. The Redland School District has paid more 160 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:46.600 than forty five million dollars to settle sixteen sex abuse lawsuits by former students. 161 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:50.960 I believe there's more than fifty victims. Lawyer Morgan Stewart says the abuse started 162 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.440 in nineteen ninety seven, when a now disgraced administrator put in school policies that 163 00:12:54.480 --> 00:13:00.200 resulted in a couple dozen sexual predators working for the district. A environment meant 164 00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:05.559 that not only was it conducive to sexual perpetrators, but was permissive, that 165 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:11.639 didn't report, that failed to follow the law, that hovered for perpetrators. 166 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:15.000 Stuart says. In addition to last week's settlement, eight cases are still pending. 167 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.679 Redland School District has yet to provide a comment. Corbin Carson kf I 168 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:22.240 News, Well, that didn't take long. Officials in Oregon say a person 169 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:26.559 with a ticket matching all six powerball numbers from Saturday nights, drawing worth one 170 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:31.960 point three billion dollars, has come forward. The ticket was presented yesterday. 171 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.399 It was sold at a convenience store in Northeast Portland. Hey, I used 172 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.759 to have a house in Northeast Portland. The state lottery says it's working with 173 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:46.519 the alleged winner in a process that involves security measures and vetting, and that's 174 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.960 going to take a little time before the winner is publicly announced. Wow. 175 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:54.559 Normally it takes like six months to a year because they lawyer up and hide 176 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.480 their identity on all this stuff. I guess it was enough. They said, 177 00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.600 screw it, I want my money. Okay, you don't have to 178 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:03.320 go far to find a super bloom. I know Nick and I have been 179 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:07.519 talking about heading out to a super to find the super blooms because we had 180 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.960 all that rain over the winter, and last year we went to the we 181 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:18.200 went to the Poppy Preserve up in outside Lancaster. This year, the poppies 182 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.720 aren't blooming. So I remember that we were there and we asked why the 183 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.159 poppies hadn't fully opened, and one of the people who works there was telling 184 00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:30.639 us that the conditions have to be just right and the sometimes you can get 185 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.399 too much rain, and it looks like they got too much rain this year, 186 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:37.360 So the poppies are not in super bloom up at the poppy Reserve. 187 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.360 But if you're flying in and out of Lax in the next few weeks, 188 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.519 just look for the grassy areas between the runways because apparently a super bloom has 189 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:52.960 sprouted at LAX. So I would imagine it's very nice to see when you 190 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:56.399 fly in and fly out, but the World Airports is saying, hey, 191 00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:58.879 if you fly in and out, make sure you look out the window. 192 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:03.480 Don't just shut the shape, because there's this beautiful orange swath of flowers. 193 00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:09.039 Kind of cool there's other places to go see too. Anzoborega Desert State Park 194 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:13.960 has a pretty decent bloom going in the San Gabriel Mountains. Wildfires are blooming 195 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.600 along the first leg. I'm not sure where this is of the canyon trail 196 00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:22.080 at Placarita Canyon Nature Center in New Hall, and also the habitat gardens at 197 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:28.000 Elizabeth Learning Center in Kutahey, all this rain makes for beautiful blooms and we 198 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.080 have now to do it. I think they last until like early May. 199 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.440 So if you're going to do it, you do sort of need to make 200 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.960 plants. The Biden administration's proposing a new plan to slash student loan debt for 201 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.240 more than thirty million borrowers. The plan, announced yesterday would affect those with 202 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.559 so called runaway interest, borrowers who have been paying on loans for twenty years, 203 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:54.080 and those who qualify for income driven repayment plans. The La City Council 204 00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:58.440 is going to consider a temporary moratorium on dog breeding permits at its meeting today. 205 00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:03.200 Supporters say it would help the city run the city run animal shelters, 206 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:08.039 which are packed. If passed, it would the mortarm would be lifted once 207 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:12.559 the shelters are at or below seventy five percent capacity. For three straight months, 208 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:19.519 the NAIA has banned transgender athletes from women's sports competitions. The National Association 209 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:25.559 of Intercollegiate Athletics Council of Presidents approved the policy on a unanimous vote yesterday. 210 00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:30.240 The NAIA is the governing body for sports for two hundred and forty nine small 211 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:33.240 colleges not part of the NCUBA. At six oh five, It's handle on 212 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.320 the news. Billboards are going up around LA promoting gun safety. Right now, 213 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.960 let's say good morning to Joel Larsgard, the host of How to Money 214 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:45.399 on KFI. Good morning, Joel, Morning Amy. So we were talking 215 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:52.120 about how everybody's offering subscriptions to stuff now, and then we came across another 216 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:57.200 one just announced by Alaska Airlines called Alaska Axis. Yeah. I mean, 217 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:03.160 this is the monority runs on subscriptions. And you know Duncan donnutsays America runs 218 00:17:03.160 --> 00:17:07.440 on Duncan. Well, our modern economy runs on those five, seven, 219 00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.720 ten, twelve dollars whatever it is monthly subscription fees that we pay to a 220 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.599 slew of different businesses. This is another one of those attempts to get you 221 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.119 to sign up in hopes that you will forget about it and continue to pay 222 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:23.279 Alaska money. And just like every single other subscription, there's a lot of 223 00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:27.519 silly ones out there and we need to pay close attention. But whether or 224 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:32.200 not this one makes sense for you depends on how you live your life, 225 00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:37.559 depends on what you're normally doing with your travel, and is specifically with this 226 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:40.240 one. Because Alaska is going to charge you five bucks a month, that's 227 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:42.200 not terrible, okay, but what are you getting in return? Well, 228 00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:45.680 you're getting like once a month free internet access on flights, So if you're 229 00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.839 flying typically once a month on Alaska, it's like, oh wow, okay, 230 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.160 that might be worth it. You get early access to some of the 231 00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:59.079 sales that Alaska offers. So if you are kind of a loyal Alaska fan, 232 00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:02.880 you fly fairly regularly on that airline, then this five bucks a month 233 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:04.039 could make a whole lot of sense. But if you're like, yeah, 234 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:07.240 I go on a trip once a year, that's sixty bucks you'd rather have 235 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:11.640 in your wallet. Yeah, this is definitely sounds like frequent flyer stuff for 236 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:15.160 sure. Exactly Okay, I'm going to skip that. I love Alaska, 237 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:19.480 but I don't fly that often. Okay, So there's a new bill introduced 238 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:27.000 that would limit your employer's right to reach out to you after hours or during 239 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:33.039 non work hours. I'm sure anybody working in the modern workforce has at times 240 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.559 been annoyed that they get a text message, a phone call, or an 241 00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:44.200 email at ridiculous hours of the night. And I think, especially given the 242 00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:48.319 nature of work post COVID in particular, with so much hybrid going on, 243 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:52.920 the boundaries have become blurred. And so this bill that's been introduced, it's 244 00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.480 Bill Assembly Bill twenty seven to fifty one. This is an attempt to say, 245 00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:02.160 listen, employers, you don't have the right to contact employees at all 246 00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:03.960 hours of the day and night. There have to be limits to this, 247 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:08.440 and there have to be limits to your expectations for employee response, because a 248 00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:12.240 lot of times those expectations are that you pick up the phone and you address 249 00:19:12.279 --> 00:19:15.640 the issue now, right right now. Okay, I'll do that first thing 250 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.960 in the morning. It's exactly carefully. Hey, I sent you an email 251 00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.319 at nine nine pm. Why did I hear back till eight thirty am? 252 00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:26.319 And kids, that's when I start my work day. I'm not sitting in 253 00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:29.680 my bed checking my email. I'm reading a book and winding down, and 254 00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.279 so I totally get the impetus for this bill. Thirteen countries have already done 255 00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:37.359 this, France and Spain or a couple of them. I believe Australia is 256 00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:40.839 at least weighing whether or not to implement this bill. I'm so much more 257 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:44.759 a fan of this than I am of the thirty two hour work week bill, 258 00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:48.039 which kind of forces people into a four day work week, which if 259 00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:52.920 that's what you want to choose, that's totally fine. But I just don't 260 00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.119 know that we need some sort of government mandate to tell us how many hours 261 00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:57.480 we can work in a week, and that we can't go overboard because, 262 00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:02.319 like we talked about with that one, it might prevent ingenuity, especially in 263 00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:06.279 certain sectors of the economy. But this is a much better attempt, is 264 00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:10.920 it? The best? Thing? That depends? Right? I saw somebody 265 00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:14.440 wrote about this, Jennifer Graham. She said, with reasonable people, this 266 00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:17.440 sort of thing could be accomplished with a conversation, not a law, and 267 00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:19.480 I tend to agree with her on that too, Like I think that if 268 00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:22.200 you and we don't know if this bill is going to pass anyway. So 269 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:26.160 if you are being reached out to all hours of the day and your boss 270 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:29.079 expects a response, I would say, hey, listen, I do awesome 271 00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:30.680 work between the hours of eight thirty and five. If you need me to 272 00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:34.599 check email one time at seven pm and beyond for ten minutes, like, 273 00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:37.160 we need to talk about that. But here are my boundaries. Here are 274 00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:41.599 my clear lines of delineation. And if it's a pants on fire situation, 275 00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:44.599 you're going to have to give me a call or whatever. But like, 276 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.759 I think it's okay to have that proactive conversation with your boss. And if 277 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.000 your work is great and speaks for itself, I'm pretty sure most of the 278 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:56.119 time your boss is going to be amenable to your proposition about when you're available 279 00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.160 and when you're not, and they'll respect those boundaries. Okay, I need 280 00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:04.039 to find a new job. Well, and speaking of that, there's a 281 00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:07.359 lot of people who are looking for or want to look for a new job. 282 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:11.640 Yeah. I was kind of shocked by the statistic, but and you 283 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.960 got to be careful to know the source. And you know, Monster dot 284 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:22.680 com has their Monster work Watch report, and they basically found that ninety five 285 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.400 percent of workers in the United States of America are either planning to or are 286 00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:32.400 already looking for a new job in twenty twenty four. Everybody right, exactly. 287 00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:33.680 I was like, that's excessive. I'm one of the random people in 288 00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:40.119 the five percent who's not looking for something else. There's also nothing wrong with 289 00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:44.000 looking for a new job. And in fact, new statistics out from ADP 290 00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:49.519 this week, and the average pay increase for switching jobs is going back up. 291 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:55.240 We've seen the unemployment rate tick down a little bit, which means even 292 00:21:55.279 --> 00:22:00.319 though the labor where things are at with labor in this country, it's not 293 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.480 nearly as insane as it was eighteen months ago, but still it's a really 294 00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.440 tight labor market, and you, as an individual worker, have a lot 295 00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.160 of options out there at your disposal in so many sectors of the economy. 296 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.200 So if you stay put, you're going to get on average five percent pay 297 00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:18.240 bump. If you move down the street you take another job, you're going 298 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.279 to get on average a ten percent pay bump. So maybe looking for another 299 00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.680 job is it the worst thing in the world, and it might increase your 300 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.039 income in a significant way. Okay, something to think about, but I 301 00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:33.160 agree with you. I'm not looking for anything right now. I like my 302 00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:36.359 job. Well you got to say that. I know I have to, 303 00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:38.839 but I actually mean it, Okay, actually mean it. So for lots 304 00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:42.440 of great advice on how to save and where to spend your money, you 305 00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:48.039 can listen to Joel Larsguard on how to Money with Joel, and that is 306 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:51.519 on Sundays from noon to two right here on KFI.

The LAPD says the death of a baby on 314 00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:23.000 the four h five freeway in near Culver City could be connected to a man's 315 00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:27.279 murder in Woodland Hills and a deadly crash in Redondo Beach. The baby was 316 00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:32.440 found in traffic lanes early yesterday morning. A nine year old was also found 317 00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:34.319 on the shoulder of the roadway and was taken to the hospital. Please say 318 00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:38.960 the person they're looking for is the man's wife and the children's mother. California 319 00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:45.400 Senator Maria Drazzo has introduced a bill requiring food delivery companies to disclose hidden fees 320 00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:49.960 up front. She says companies like door Dash and grub Hub charge hidden fees 321 00:23:49.960 --> 00:23:53.720 to the restaurants, which can drive up cost of deliveries to you. She 322 00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:59.880 says the bill would allow customers to make informed decisions. Five California condor chicks 323 00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:03.279 hatched at the La Zoo. The first egg hatched on March first, The 324 00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:07.480 other have hatched rather in the past two weeks. The birds, which are 325 00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:11.440 the largest in North America, are critically endangered, with less than three hundred 326 00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:15.519 and fifty remaining in the wild. At six oh five, it's handle on 327 00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.799 the news Benjamin Natanna, who says a date has been set for a ground 328 00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:22.279 defensive in Rufa in spite of calls from basically everyone not to do it. 329 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:27.319 Now, let's say good morning to ABC's Tom Rivers. So Tom, it's 330 00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:30.200 something you see from time to time, but definitely don't see every day. 331 00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:37.000 In Russia. Citizens took to the streets to protest exactly. And usually we've 332 00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:45.160 seen in the past political demonstrations are dealt with quite rapidly, but this is 333 00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:48.599 a kind of a different kettle of fish. Let's go back to Friday. 334 00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:55.759 Last Friday, there was a dam that burst and the area in the Ural 335 00:24:55.839 --> 00:25:02.240 River was basically flooded down near the border with Kazakhstan, about thirteen miles away 336 00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:07.000 from Kazakhstan Russia city of Orst, and it was pretty pretty heavy duty. 337 00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:12.839 About four thousand people were evacuated because of the floodwaters, ten thousand homes affected 338 00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:18.079 in some way, shape or form, and on Sunday was determined that was 339 00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:22.000 going to be a federal emergency, similar to what you hear in the US 340 00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:26.480 or maybe in the UK. There's things like you know, tornadoes, et 341 00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.960 cetera, et cetera. The rub really is. The protest came out on 342 00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:33.920 Monday because they said, Okay, we're going to help you people that had 343 00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:37.759 to vacate your homes, and we're going to pay you a sum of wants 344 00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:42.200 turn into dollars one hundred and eight dollars a month for six months, and 345 00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:48.039 look exactly they said, look, we've lost in some cases they've lost everything. 346 00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:52.039 No, that's no stop. And so they're out there saying, look, 347 00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:57.559 we want more compensation. We'll see we assume that eventually the government will 348 00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:02.400 say, okay, yes, we'll revive that upward. But they're just saying, 349 00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:06.039 thanks for not a whole lot of money, and we need a whole 350 00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:11.759 lot more to rebuild our lives. And was there any backlash to the protesting, 351 00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:15.039 like you said, in the political protesting, they seem to try to 352 00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:19.079 shut down pretty quickly. Did they do anything here? Nothing? Not this 353 00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:22.960 time, because I can again, it's a different kind of a situation. 354 00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:27.720 People are really incensed. It's kind of a kind of a man made natural 355 00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:33.559 phenomenon at work. Also, there's an investigation that could be the possibility of 356 00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:38.319 some criminal negligence with regard to some of the people that constructed that damn But 357 00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:42.039 that's another story. But they're saying no, it's kind of a different, 358 00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:45.839 different kind of a deal, and people, you know, get angry in 359 00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:48.720 their gut and they say, no, we're going to go on the street 360 00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:52.240 and protest this until the government hears us, and we'll see in the coming 361 00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:56.240 weeks if in fact they up the amount of money going to these people who 362 00:26:56.359 --> 00:27:03.720 certainly certainly deserve it. Do you know more protests they're planned? Don't know 363 00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:07.920 that. I think you know, it'll all boil down to what kind of 364 00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:11.920 communication there is between the local government, the federal government, and the people. 365 00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:15.279 And if there's there's kind of a nod saying yes, we're going in 366 00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:18.640 the right direction, it might be the end of things. If there's zero 367 00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:23.240 action, yep, this certainly could be repeated. And do they have a 368 00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:27.880 right to sue? In Russia, did they sue? The government can do 369 00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:33.640 Yeah, they can do exactly so they can you know that can grind through 370 00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:38.599 the courts, just like in the West. Unfortunately, your action may be 371 00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:44.240 uh could take literally, you know, years or decades to work through the 372 00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:47.960 process. Okay, Well, one hundred and eight dollars a month for six 373 00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:51.240 months just doesn't seem right. So let's hope that they get a little bit 374 00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:55.720 more at least. Yep, we'll were watching that one in the coming weeks 375 00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:57.599 see exactly where this thing goes. All right, Tom Rivers, thank you 376 00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:02.680 so much for your information today. Hey here, all right, I was 377 00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:07.319 happy to see that the government didn't crack down on them. Let's get back 378 00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:10.039 to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 379 00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:15.000 Low income families in LA could lose some childcare opportunities as part of a proposal 380 00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:19.240 to cut nearly two thousand vacant city jobs. The Department of Recreation and Parks 381 00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:26.000 Chinieri Stoneham says that includes around two dozen childcare positions. Not all families have 382 00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:30.640 that grandparent or family member who can take care of their kids. LA currently 383 00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:36.920 offers two subsidized childcare sites and may open more with grant funding. A campaign 384 00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:40.960 in La County is promoting gunlocks. New billboards on the ten and seven ten 385 00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:45.079 are designed to push drivers to visit locked in Unloaded dot com, where a 386 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:51.079 free gunlock can be located. LA County Medical Association CEO Gustavo Friedrichson says public 387 00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:53.759 health and gun safety are related. Or trying to at least educate parents, 388 00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:59.000 or trying to educate kids, or trying to educate the entire extended family on 389 00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:02.160 how to just look at this differently. If you own a gun, store 390 00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:04.920 it safely, lock it up. Friedrickson's group is working with La County and 391 00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:11.720 Lacare Health Plan on the effort, Michael Monks KFI News. The Justice Department 392 00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:17.319 is refused to turn over recordings of President Biden's interview about how he handled classified 393 00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:22.000 documents. House Republicans set yesterday as a deadline for Attorney General Merrick Garland to 394 00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:26.759 release the records or possibly face a contempt of Congress charge. Garland says he 395 00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:32.359 won't hand them over because he thinks the Republicans want them for political reasons. 396 00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:37.200 Representatives from studios, music labels, and production companies will be at a special 397 00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:41.599 job fair tomorrow in Hollywood.

I was thinking about this yesterday after the eclipse. 410 00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:38.000 I was like, how are we going to reuse these? We don't have 411 00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:41.480 another eclipse in the US until twenty forty four. Well, there is a 412 00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:48.680 group Astronomers Without Borders that is accepting donated glasses and they'll send them to Africa 413 00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:52.319 and Asia and North and South America for future eclipse events.

The amount six hundred million dollars. An appeals court in New 437 00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:37.559 York has rejected former President Trump's request to delay his hush money trial. The 438 00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:40.839 decision came down yesterday, a week before the scheduled start of jury selection. 439 00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:45.920 Trump's lawyers had argued the case should be moved out of Manhattan because it can't 440 00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:52.400 get a fair trial in the heavily democratic area. The women's NCAA Championship smashed 441 00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:57.680 a TV ratings record. South Carolina versus Iowa on Sunday was the most watched 442 00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:01.599 women's basketball game ever. ESPN says, is it at its peak, twenty 443 00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:07.880 four million people were watching the game. Cocks big win. It averaged eighteen 444 00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:13.440 point seven million viewers, and it was the most watched basketball game since twenty 445 00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:16.480 nineteen. We're just minutes away from handle on the news this morning. LA 446 00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:21.759 gas prices are going up and up twenty one straight days of increases. Now, 447 00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:27.000 right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan in Dallas. 448 00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:30.640 So Jim still basking in the glow, or rather the darkness of the eclipse. 449 00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:35.799 What was it like in Dallas? Yes, I don't know. I 450 00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:37.920 was in Hillsboro. You were south of Dallas about forty miles. Yes, 451 00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:42.599 you're still in totality, you're recality. Oh yeah, yeah, that's why 452 00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:45.799 I went down there. Oh, okay, Hillsborough was more towards the center 453 00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:49.920 of the path than Dallas Fort Worth was. Hillsborough had four minutes twenty three 454 00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:52.359 seconds of darkness. Dallas had something like, depending upon where you were, 455 00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:57.480 three minutes and odd something. So yeah, Hillsboro is a place to be. 456 00:33:57.559 --> 00:34:00.480 And it also the clouds broke free long enough for you to see the 457 00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:07.680 actual corona, the bright, brilliant white circle surrounding the disc of the moon. 458 00:34:07.360 --> 00:34:09.519 So yeah, it was good. It was. It was pretty remarkable. 459 00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:15.079 It was amazing. I didn't I wasn't expecting that to see something that 460 00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:21.079 cool, was it? So that was your first eclipse eclipse, Yes, 461 00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:24.000 first total eclipse like that, and certainly one the one that was most dramatic. 462 00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:28.559 I've seen, you know, lunar eclipses and partial solar eclipses, but 463 00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:31.199 I think that was the first one, the first total solar eclipse, so 464 00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:35.320 a lot of people because I was watching it. Obviously we only had a 465 00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:38.480 partial here, but was watching several different news channels, and I was amazed 466 00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:43.280 at how the reporters were just sort of they kept saying, I'm sort of 467 00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:45.320 speechless, and you know, they were really kind of moved by the whole 468 00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:52.519 thing. Yeah, I mean I was, you know, working live to 469 00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:55.719 New York right from Hillsboro and describing what was going on, and my little 470 00:34:55.719 --> 00:35:00.000 app was counting down. First it was counting up the percentage of the sun 471 00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:02.079 that was blocked, you know, seventy five percent, seventy six percent, 472 00:35:02.119 --> 00:35:06.079 seventy summer. And then there was a countdown, an audible countdown, ten 473 00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:08.400 nine eight totality. You can take off your eyewear, and I took off 474 00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:13.639 my eyewear, and yeah, it was. It was. I couldn't breathe 475 00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:17.039 for a second because it was really that moving. It was just dramatic and 476 00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:22.159 a little unsettling. And everyone around me was quiet. I was standing in 477 00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:27.519 a parking lot, the birds got quiet, the stars began to come out, 478 00:35:28.039 --> 00:35:30.480 street lights were coming on. Yeah, it was. It was critty, 479 00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:35.880 It was it was something. Yeah, people, I think it it 480 00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:40.480 makes you think of how small we are. I mean to see the moon 481 00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:46.599 ginormous as it is. I mean like a celestial body moving in front of 482 00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:49.480 us, you know what I mean, Because normally it just is there, 483 00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:52.719 it doesn't cross paths, and so I think it was kind of profound even 484 00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:57.559 watching it on TV. And I can sure, yeah, I think, 485 00:35:58.079 --> 00:36:00.280 And that was probably a better way to see it if you wanted to see 486 00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:05.519 if the camera was in a location that didn't have clouds and that you had 487 00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:08.519 a clear view of what was happening. But even without the even without seeing 488 00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:14.159 the sun itself, did to suddenly have a look like eleven thirty at nine 489 00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:16.440 when it's one thirty in the afternoon, It was pretty amazing. Yeah, 490 00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:23.239 did you have any weird technology glitches or anything? Only insofar as so many 491 00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:27.960 people. You know, Hillsboro is a town of about eighty five hundred and 492 00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:32.199 that was probably tripled yesterday with everyone coming in. Hillsborough promoted itself as the 493 00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:37.199 place to be. It changed its name to Eclipsborough for the day and had 494 00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:42.159 festivals and seminars and things going on for a week in advance, and so 495 00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:45.119 people came to Hillsborough. The other parts of Texas were saying stay away from 496 00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:49.400 here, we don't want the traffic, et cetera. But Hillsboro. So 497 00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:53.000 yes, when this was happening, cells got a little fishy because so many 498 00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:59.280 people were streaming, computers were running a little slower. I noticed, And 499 00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:02.119 so yeah, that I think was to be expected, simply because whether it's 500 00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:06.760 a Super Bowl game or an eclipse, you got a lot of people in 501 00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:10.039 one place and they're all on their phones and something's happening and they're calling people, 502 00:37:10.880 --> 00:37:15.480 it is going to cause slower technology. Well, I noticed after the 503 00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:21.280 eclipse here that my ways was doing wonky things, and I don't know if 504 00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:25.639 that was coincidence or if maybe the sun and the moon had an effect on 505 00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:30.320 it. I'm going to think that it is because I like that that idea 506 00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:35.119 better. But so that's there was a lot of worry that there was going 507 00:37:35.159 --> 00:37:39.559 to be traffic jams and basic supply shortages and rampant crime. Did any of 508 00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:45.519 that materialize anywhere? Traffic yes, ramp and crime, no shortages? No? 509 00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:51.199 But they is it? Yeah? It was four and four and a 510 00:37:51.239 --> 00:37:55.000 half minutes in the but but once it was over, then the sun came 511 00:37:55.039 --> 00:37:59.639 back out and everybody's like, that's it all right, let's go home. 512 00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:04.639 Everybody in They got on the nearest. Yeah, it was heavy. Traffic 513 00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:07.719 was heavy. I saw a video from from every part of the path of 514 00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:13.000 totality, from South Texas up to New Hampshire and up way up there into 515 00:38:13.079 --> 00:38:16.360 Maine and everywhere. Traffic was just jammed up for hours. In a lot 516 00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:20.880 of those places, it finally broke up and people did get home. I 517 00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:23.519 don't think there are any lingering traffic jams this morning from it, but that 518 00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:29.800 one prediction about heavy traffic predictably came true. Okay. You know, some 519 00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:32.159 say that the eclipse is a sign that Mother Earth is angry, and I 520 00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:37.440 was like, that's a silly thing to say, because if she's angry on 521 00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:40.800 demand, then because we know exactly when it's going to happen, right. 522 00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:46.159 And the other thing is that some of the on parts of the web where 523 00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:51.360 conspiracies run rampant, people were saying, Okay, well, the government's going 524 00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:55.719 to use this to impose martial law. It's going to be pandemonium. Well 525 00:38:55.719 --> 00:38:59.159 why if the government's going to do that, why not do it at night 526 00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:02.440 when people are asleep anyway, instead of during that eclipse when people are awake. 527 00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:06.719 Looking at this guy. So you know, there are there are, 528 00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:08.920 there are people. There's a fringe out there, and they keep it interesting 529 00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:12.719 for sure. Yeah, when the next one is in twenty twenty four, 530 00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:15.039 No, I'm sorry, I keep saying twenty twenty four. This is twenty 531 00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:19.159 twenty four, and the next one is in twenty forty four, something like 532 00:39:19.199 --> 00:39:22.559 that. Yeah, the next one of this tight. There's an eclipse almost 533 00:39:22.559 --> 00:39:25.199 every year, and if you want to travel there and be there for the 534 00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:28.159 next one, I'm not sure where it's going to happen, but there'll be 535 00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:31.360 another solar eclipse before too long, and you can go there and see it 536 00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:35.920 if you're so inclined. And some of the people I was standing with yesterday 537 00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:39.239 in a church parking lot in Hillsboro, Texas, they were suddenly devotees. 538 00:39:39.320 --> 00:39:45.840 They were absolutely committed. They were so moved that they had decided that, 539 00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:49.239 yeah, we're going to go to the next one. We don't care where 540 00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:52.039 it is, we're going to go because they were so profound. Well, 541 00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:55.840 all I know is from LA where it was very limited, just as Parshall 542 00:39:55.960 --> 00:40:00.079 was about half is, it was still pretty cool. And then after hearing 543 00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:06.519 what you said, and my friend Rick Johnson was there in Dallas. I 544 00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:09.400 might have to plan a trip to go siantic clips. Yeah, it was 545 00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:16.079 surprisingly emotional. Yeah. Okay, Jim Ryan, thank you so much. 546 00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:19.599 We'll talk to you soon. All right, let's get back to some of 547 00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:22.280 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A Congressman representing 548 00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:27.880 Orange County wants to use artificial intelligence to fight the cartels at the border. 549 00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:31.599 We've been introduced by Democratic Congressman Lukerea and a Republican from Texas would use AI 550 00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:37.960 assisted image recognition technology to spot drugs and other illicit substances trying to sneak into 551 00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:42.000 the country. The Emerging Innovative Border Technologies Act, introduced last week, would 552 00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:46.199 also implement machine learning and nanotechnology to improve border security and prevent human trafficking. 553 00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:52.480 Migrants crossing deadly remote desert areas could also be intercepted and get the resources they 554 00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:57.719 need through the use of AI assisted infrared cameras and ground sensors. Corbin Carson 555 00:40:57.800 --> 00:41:00.719 KFI News. Three people have been killed in a shit shooting at a law 556 00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:06.119 office in Las Vegas. Police Lieutenant Jason Johanson says it was a tragic case 557 00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:10.039 of domestic violence yesterday that happened over a child custody dispute. Shortly into the 558 00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:15.599 deposition, approximately three to four minutes, one of the part of the suspects 559 00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:22.440 stood up and began opening fire on the two victims across the table from him. 560 00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:27.880 Johansson says the man in his seventies shot himself after shooting his former daughter 561 00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:30.360 in law and a man in his fifties. An attorney for the father of 562 00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:35.559 the Oxford High School shooter in Michigan has asked a judge for leniency. The 563 00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:38.559 defense said yesterday James Crumbly should be sentenced to time served or up to forty 564 00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:43.880 three months in prison with credit for time served. Prosecutors have asked the judge 565 00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:46.400 for a sentence of ten to fifteen years, saying the father has blamed everyone 566 00:41:46.440 --> 00:41:50.800 but himself for the shooting that his son committed. In twenty twenty one, 567 00:41:51.239 --> 00:41:54.920 Crumbley and his wife were both found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for turning a blind 568 00:41:55.000 --> 00:42:00.079 eye to their son's mental health issues before he killed four classmens classmates.

Dreamster's plan would be to 571 00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:15.119 use the tracks owned by Union Pacific Railroad along the coast once a final agreement 572 00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:21.440 is made. Dreamster says it wants to offer luxury service with next generation Sleeper 573 00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:25.960 cars. They would have private rooms with queen beds and showers.
