Speaker 1: with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: App KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.
Speaker 3: It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King.
Speaker 4: Well, good morning. It's five o'clock this Friday morning. This
Speaker 4: is your wake up call for May thirtieth. Next time
Speaker 4: we talk on Monday, it's gonna be June. We're even
Speaker 4: closer to Christmas. H stop, thanks for getting your day
Speaker 4: started with us today. I have to tell you about
Speaker 4: one of life's little joys.
Speaker 5: It's for me.
Speaker 4: It's like when you do little things around the house,
Speaker 4: you make a little change, and then you look.
Speaker 5: At it and you go, oh, I'm so happy I
Speaker 5: did that.
Speaker 4: So my latest little change is that at Christmas time,
Speaker 4: I put up I took down or I took out
Speaker 4: the porch light and put in some twinkly lights along
Speaker 4: my walkway, well from all the rain. And they've been
Speaker 4: on for six months. You know, they started to burn out.
Speaker 4: So I got red, white and blue lights. Oh, because
Speaker 4: you know it's summertime. We've got Fourth of July coming up.
Speaker 4: We just had Memorial Day, so I put up the red,
Speaker 4: white and blue lights that now line my little walkway.
Speaker 5: I love that. There you go, it's the little thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're going to talk about lots of little things,
Speaker 4: actually some really cool futuristic things with Dean Sharp Today,
Speaker 4: host of Home on KFI. You're gonna want to hear that.
Speaker 4: That's coming up at the bottom of the hour. But
Speaker 4: here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. Let's get going.
Speaker 4: Thieves have stolen millions of dollars worth of merchandise from
Speaker 4: a family owned jewelry store in Glendale Sound Familiar. Burglars
Speaker 4: got in through the roof, disabled security cameras, used blow
Speaker 4: terches to open at least two of the three safes,
Speaker 4: and ransacked Bedruzian jewelry. Another jewelry store in Simi Valley
Speaker 4: had about two million dollars in cash and merchandise stolen
Speaker 4: by thieves on Sunday. They also cut through the roof
Speaker 4: and then through a wall to get in. The Pacific
Speaker 4: Palisades City Council is going to spend two hundred and
Speaker 4: sixty thousand dollars for security in neighborhoods burned in the wildfires.
Speaker 4: In January, a thirty day contract was approved Wednesday, it
Speaker 4: could be extended. There are concerns that vacant homes are
Speaker 4: going to be vulnerable to looters and thieves. Now that
Speaker 4: PCH has reopened, Heat advisories are in effect for parts
Speaker 4: of the Southland, with temperatures expected to hit triple digits
Speaker 4: in some areas. The heated advisory is up for Santa
Speaker 4: Clarita and the San Fernando Valley. President Trump's plans to
Speaker 4: keep foreign students out of Harvard has hit a snag.
Speaker 4: ABC's Peter Harrlumboose was in the courtroom yesterday. He's going
Speaker 4: to give the latest on that coming up in just
Speaker 4: a couple of minutes. Also, we've all wondered at some point,
Speaker 4: right how long am I going to live? We're going
Speaker 4: to be joined by futurist Kevin Surilli. He's going to
Speaker 4: talk about how you may be able to maybe able
Speaker 4: to hack your lifespan and become a super ager. That's
Speaker 4: coming up at five twenty. Also, we're going to find out,
Speaker 4: as I mentioned, some of the new futuristic things you
Speaker 4: can get for your home now in the present. That's
Speaker 4: with the house whisper at the bottom of the hour.
Speaker 4: And then yesterday the tariffs were blocked.
Speaker 5: ABC.
Speaker 4: Stephen Portnoy joins us to tell us today how it's
Speaker 4: a new day for tariffs, at least for now, and
Speaker 4: that's at five point fifty. It's an ever changing, ever changing,
Speaker 4: very fluid situation and we need people like Stephen Portnoy
Speaker 4: to help us keep up with it. Let's get started
Speaker 4: with some of the stories coming out of the KFI
Speaker 4: twenty four hour newsroom. Southern California is in for a
Speaker 4: mini heat wave this weekend.
Speaker 6: Wells Angeles and Orange Counties are expected to see highs
Speaker 6: in the upper eighties and lower nineties. The valleys and
Speaker 6: the Inland Empire will likely see highs in the mid
Speaker 6: nineties Today. Inland, Ventura County and the La County Valleys
Speaker 6: will be under a heat advisory from eleven o'clock this
Speaker 6: morning to eight o'clock tonight. There's a chance of rain
Speaker 6: and thunderstorms, especially on Sunday and Monday. Thunderstorm chances will
Speaker 6: be the highest in the mountains. Daniel Martindale, CAFI News.
Speaker 5: AH, this is welcome news.
Speaker 4: The algae bloom that's been making sea animals sick and
Speaker 4: even killing them in the Southland is.
Speaker 7: Wilting The Marine Mammal Care Center in San Pedro says
Speaker 7: the worst of the deadly algae bloom is over, with
Speaker 7: no new patients showing signs of demoic acid toxicosis over
Speaker 7: the last week. Birds, sea lions, and marine mammals have
Speaker 7: gotten sick or killed by the poison in the past
Speaker 7: few months. Veterinarians and care centers near the coasts say
Speaker 7: many were treated and able to recover, but it was
Speaker 7: the longest, most toxic, and deadliest bloom they've ever experienced.
Speaker 7: The MMC says it's expanding its facilities and increasing patient
Speaker 7: capacity as these types of events increase in intensity and
Speaker 7: frequency thanks to climate change. Michael Krozier KFI News.
Speaker 4: Two men have been arrested in connection with the kidnapping
Speaker 4: and robbery in Culver City. A man told police a
Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago that he was walking to his
Speaker 4: car when he was approached by someone in a silver
Speaker 4: FUV and ordered at gunpoint to get inside. He said
Speaker 4: he was driven to a bank and was forced to
Speaker 4: make several withdrawals. He pulled out about five hundred and
Speaker 4: forty dollars. The man says he was eventually let go
Speaker 4: in a residential area and was warned not to call police.
Speaker 4: A thirteen year old Fasin Zaki is the best speller
Speaker 4: in the land. The team from Texas won the Script's
Speaker 4: National Spelling be last night by correctly spelling the word eclairezizman.
Speaker 8: E C O A I R C I S E
Speaker 8: M E and teh eficial That is correct.
Speaker 5: He's so excited. I love that.
Speaker 4: Besides winning the trophy, Zaki gets a fifty thousand dollars
Speaker 4: grand prize. Brent Wood's Oliver Halkett finished seventh. Way to
Speaker 4: Go Oliver. He was eliminated after struggling with the word
Speaker 4: a roar, which is the yellow or pink tint given
Speaker 4: a white sauce by the addition of egg ye, ooks,
Speaker 4: tomato puree, or lobster coral.
Speaker 5: Who knew.
Speaker 4: Let's say good morning now to ABC's Peter Harralumbus.
Speaker 5: Good morning, Peter.
Speaker 2: Good morning Amy.
Speaker 9: Thanks so much for having me.
Speaker 5: Absolutely so.
Speaker 4: We got some more challenges for the Trump administration and
Speaker 4: its executive orders. Judge says, not so fast when it
Speaker 4: comes to taking action against Harvard. You were in the courtroom.
Speaker 4: Tell us what happened to Lease.
Speaker 9: That's exactly right. A really a big day for Harvard yesterday.
Speaker 9: Not only was it the school's commencement, but they got
Speaker 9: a big win in their lawsuit against the Trump administration,
Speaker 9: this one over their right to enroll international students. Judge
Speaker 9: issuing Saint she's going to issue a preliminary injunction protecting
Speaker 9: those international students. This comes to the Trump administration with
Speaker 9: seemingly backtracking on that policy. They issued a letter just
Speaker 9: twenty four hours ahead of that hearing, kind of giving
Speaker 9: Harvard more time to respond to the allegations and basically
Speaker 9: extending the window, despite the fact that they originally made
Speaker 9: it seem like this would be an immediate change, this
Speaker 9: inabillage to enroll internationals students. Harvard's president taking a job
Speaker 9: at this issue during his commencement address, basically saying that
Speaker 9: everyone across the country and across the world belongs to Harvard.
Speaker 4: Okay, so you were in the courtroom yesterday. Was it
Speaker 4: sort of a civil thing? Did they present arguments? Did
Speaker 4: it get heated?
Speaker 3: What happened?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 9: I was there expecting a pretty long day of maybe
Speaker 9: an hour or two of arguments, but it went in
Speaker 9: about twenty minutes. The fact that the Trump administration kind
Speaker 9: of backtracked overnight ahead of this hearing, kind of changed
Speaker 9: the playing field entirely. The Department of Justice insisted that
Speaker 9: this was kind of a moot issue, basically that because
Speaker 9: the Trump administration was giving Harvard more time, there wasn't
Speaker 9: actually a need to issue an order. But the judge
Speaker 9: shot back saying that students were anxious, students were terrified
Speaker 9: about these kind of changes, and that some kind of
Speaker 9: order was necessary. It was really a resounding win for Harvard.
Speaker 9: They didn't really even have to argue in a way.
Speaker 9: The judge had her mind made up when she entered
Speaker 9: that courtroom, and this came just hours ahead of the
Speaker 9: school's commencement.
Speaker 4: Okay, so now, Peter, tell us, then, what happens next,
Speaker 4: because I'm guessing that there's going to be an immediate appeal,
Speaker 4: or is this this this just continues her stay against
Speaker 4: it while it plays out in court.
Speaker 5: What is I'm a little confused on that. No.
Speaker 9: No, it's confusing and tricky in part because the Trump
Speaker 9: administration has made it tricky each because you know, at
Speaker 9: the end of the day, this order, you know, offers
Speaker 9: some kind of temporary protection for these international students. The
Speaker 9: Truman administration has not going to be able to just
Speaker 9: go in within a matter of hours and say, well,
Speaker 9: you're not allowed to have a visa as a student here.
Speaker 9: But it does still allow kind of an administrative avenue
Speaker 9: for the Trump administration to challenge the school's ability to
Speaker 9: enroll international students. That's a long, lissed, tedious process, it
Speaker 9: takes months, and there's an appeals process, but the Trump
Speaker 9: administration can try to use that administrative avenue and that
Speaker 9: might eventually return them to federal court one day if
Speaker 9: the Trump administration actually seems to follow through with this.
Speaker 9: But ultimately, sources close to the matter basically told us
Speaker 9: that yesterday's backtracking, the fact that Trump administration gave Harvard
Speaker 9: more time and kind of loosened their threat a bit,
Speaker 9: was because they realized that they were on very shaky
Speaker 9: I legal ground that all things considered, they weren't really
Speaker 9: gonna win. They didn't have much of a chance, and
Speaker 9: they needed to amend basically the situation to have any
Speaker 9: chance of succeeding in court. That didn't help them at
Speaker 9: the end of the day yesterday they still lost in court,
Speaker 9: and they still gave Harvard more flexibility, but that doesn't
Speaker 9: mean Harvard's out of the woods per se. There's still
Speaker 9: that long term threat. There's still a threat of billion
Speaker 9: dollars of funding being cut to Harvard, and other threats
Speaker 9: like Sexuary of State Marko Rubio, for example, it is
Speaker 9: threatening at this point to begin clamping down on Chinese
Speaker 9: visa holders.
Speaker 4: Okay, so for now, foreign students can still apply and
Speaker 4: go to They're not going to be you know, thrown
Speaker 4: out of Harvard on a whim or Okay, so that's
Speaker 4: for now, for now.
Speaker 9: For now their sakes, But that doesn't mean in the
Speaker 9: long term the Trump amanie fish and can try different avenues.
Speaker 9: It's just going to be kind of a long term project.
Speaker 9: If the Trump administration is serious about restricting the school's
Speaker 9: international students Harvard. Trump was asked about this in the
Speaker 9: Oval Office earlier this week. He suggested that at the
Speaker 9: end of the day, he might be fine with international
Speaker 9: students at Rarvard, but he does want to see the
Speaker 9: number of international students reduced. He said that they should
Speaker 9: be no more than fifteen percent of the school student body.
Speaker 5: Ahah.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, Well, we will continue to watch it,
Speaker 4: and thankfully we continue to have you available to help
Speaker 4: us sort it out.
Speaker 5: Thanks Peter Harlumbus have a great weekend.
Speaker 9: Thanks so much, Ami Tako.
Speaker 4: All right, let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 4: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. President
Speaker 4: Trump's tariff plan has been reinstated by a federal appeals
Speaker 4: court for now. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett says
Speaker 4: the decision was not a surprise.
Speaker 9: Well, very pleased with the ruling. We expected it.
Speaker 10: The bottom line is that our US Trade representative, Jamison Greer,
Speaker 10: is the best trade thiker of the business that at
Speaker 10: President Trump's case is ironclad.
Speaker 4: The court granted the administration's request to pause a lower
Speaker 4: court's ruling that blocked most of Trump's tariffs on other countries.
Speaker 4: The US Court of International Trade had ruled that an
Speaker 4: emergency law doesn't give Trump the authority to impose tariffs
Speaker 4: on nearly every country. Speaking of other countries, Treasury Secretary
Speaker 4: Scott Bessant says trade talks with China have stalled.
Speaker 9: I believe that we will be having more talks with
Speaker 9: them in the next few weeks.
Speaker 4: Essen says he thinks there may be a phone call
Speaker 4: at some point between President Trump and Chinese President Hijinking.
Speaker 4: Trump imposed massive tariffs on China's earlier this year, but
Speaker 4: then cut them this month to thirty percent for ninety
Speaker 4: days as talks between the two countries began. The White
Speaker 4: House says Israel has accepted a US proposal for a
Speaker 4: temporary ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza. White House Press Secretary
Speaker 4: Caroline Levitt says Special Envoy Steve Whitcoff and President Trump
Speaker 4: submitted the ceasefire proposal that Israel has backed and supported.
Speaker 11: Israel signed off on this proposal before it was sent
Speaker 11: to Hamas. I can also confirm that those discussions are continuing,
Speaker 11: and we hope that a ceasefire in Gaza will take
Speaker 11: place so we can return all of the hostages.
Speaker 4: Home AMAS officials say they wanted to study the proposal
Speaker 4: more closely before giving a formal answer. It comes days
Speaker 4: after Israel killed tamas's top leader in Gaza, Mohammed Sinwar.
Speaker 4: The Department of Justice is dropping criminal charges against Boeing
Speaker 4: after the company agreed to pay over a billion dollars
Speaker 4: to avoid prosecution. The charges are related to the crashes
Speaker 4: of two Boeing seven thirty seven Max Passenger jets six
Speaker 4: years ago. A lawyer for the families says they received
Speaker 4: a letter yesterday informing them that the charges against Boeing
Speaker 4: were being dismissed. United and Jet Blue if teamed up
Speaker 4: to give members of their loyalty programs more chances to
Speaker 4: earn perks.
Speaker 12: The airlines announced the new partnership, called Blue Sky yesterday.
Speaker 12: The carrier said it will give customers new opportunities to
Speaker 12: earn and use Mileage plus miles and True Blue points
Speaker 12: across both airlines. As part of this collaboration, customers will
Speaker 12: be to book United in Jet Blue flights on each
Speaker 12: airline's booking platforms. The deal will also see United Airlines
Speaker 12: return to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport as
Speaker 12: early as twenty twenty seven, when it will be able
Speaker 12: to use Jet Blue slots for up to seven daily
Speaker 12: round trip flights.
Speaker 3: Debor Mark Kfi News.
Speaker 4: Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Carrick has died.
Speaker 4: He was in charge on nine to eleven and was
Speaker 4: later nominated to head the Department of Homeland Security. Krrick
Speaker 4: was also a bodyguard for Mayor Rudy Giuliani in the
Speaker 4: early nineties.
Speaker 5: In two thousand and nine.
Speaker 4: He pleaded guilty to tax fraud, was sent to prison,
Speaker 4: and was eventually pardoned. FBI director Cash Bettel says Kerk's
Speaker 4: death yesterday came after what he called a private battle
Speaker 4: with an illness.
Speaker 5: Bernie Kerrick was sixty nine.
Speaker 4: And millennials and gen zers are googling basic life skills
Speaker 4: in record numbers as they become adults.
Speaker 13: The search engine told Axios questions for things such as
Speaker 13: how to use a mop, how to set up auto pay,
Speaker 13: and how to do an oil change or at all
Speaker 13: time highs this year. And it's not just Google. More
Speaker 13: than half of YouTube users in the US say they
Speaker 13: used that platform to figure out things they haven't done before.
Speaker 13: As a Reddit user called it, the University of YouTube
Speaker 13: studies show schools or dropping classes like homec that train
Speaker 13: students in practical life skills. Mark ronnerch KFI News.
Speaker 4: When we come back, we have all wondered at some
Speaker 4: point how long will I live? Well, we're going to
Speaker 4: be joined by futurist Kevin SURRILLI about how you may
Speaker 4: be able to hack your lifespan and become a super ager.
Speaker 5: I like that little superhero.
Speaker 4: La Counties asked for a preliminary injunction against the operators
Speaker 4: of the Jaquita Canyon landfill. The injunction asked the court
Speaker 4: to intervene and order the operators to help nearby homeowners
Speaker 4: in relocating or updating their homes because residents have been
Speaker 4: complaining for years of the odors from the landfill making
Speaker 4: them sick. More than a week after La City Council
Speaker 4: gave its first approval to a revised nearly fourteen billion
Speaker 4: dollars spending plan for the next fiscal year, the council
Speaker 4: scheduled to take a second final vote on the plan today.
Speaker 4: The original cast of Broadways Hamilton isn't giving up its
Speaker 4: shot at a reunion. Stars Lynn Manuel, Miranda Leslie, Odom Junior,
Speaker 4: de VD Diggs, and others will take the stage for
Speaker 4: an anniversary performance at the Tony's next month. Let's say
Speaker 4: good morning now to futurist Kevin Surreally Kevin, It's something
Speaker 4: that we all wonder, how long will I live?
Speaker 2: Yes? Yeah, super aging that's what they're calling it. Super agers.
Speaker 2: And these are people who live not just for a
Speaker 2: long time that they live well into their eighties and nineties,
Speaker 2: but they've got the memory and the brain cognition of
Speaker 2: folks in their thirties and forties and sometimes even younger
Speaker 2: than that. So scientists at Northwestern University they studied these
Speaker 2: super agers using the latest artificial intelligence to map these
Speaker 2: people's brains, and what they found is that the older
Speaker 2: that you get, your brain actually shrinks or parts of
Speaker 2: it get inflamed, and that's not really a good thing.
Speaker 2: But for these super agers, the parts of their brain
Speaker 2: connected to memory, they actually had a thicker cortex than
Speaker 2: they didn't shrink. And so hopefully, as we are mapping
Speaker 2: the brain, it's really a map for all of us
Speaker 2: to be able to age more gracefully.
Speaker 4: So when somebody says, wow, check out the big brain
Speaker 4: on that person, they literally mean.
Speaker 2: It, yeah. Well but yeah, but it could be that
Speaker 2: they're inflamed and that the brain is inflamed, and that's
Speaker 2: not necessarily a good thing. There's another scientist named Dave Buner,
Speaker 2: and he studies blue zones and what are blue zones.
Speaker 2: That's parts of the world where they have a higher
Speaker 2: concentration of people who have aged to be longer than
Speaker 2: one hundred years old. And Aquinawa, Japan is the number
Speaker 2: one blue zone in the world where there are people
Speaker 2: with who have aged in a higher concentration of being
Speaker 2: older than one hundred Sardinia Italy is number two. There's
Speaker 2: only one blue zone in the United States, a country
Speaker 2: where one in five of us will be older than
Speaker 2: sixty five by twenty thirty. So we're getting older faster.
Speaker 2: What part or what can you guess? Do you have
Speaker 2: any guesses for your the one blue zone?
Speaker 5: It's your Belinda. I'm sorry, Loma, Linda.
Speaker 3: It is Lomelinda.
Speaker 2: How did you know? I guess I celebrate this. Yeah,
Speaker 2: while I'm talking to cowboy. Yeah, low Melinda. And so
Speaker 2: the one thing that scientists at Northwestern and the Blue
Speaker 2: zone people, what they argue is that they have daily
Speaker 2: rhythm and so they check in. So it means you're
Speaker 2: staying active. It doesn't mean you're Arnold schwartzen Anger in
Speaker 2: the gym with grandma and grandpa at the age of
Speaker 2: ninety years old. But you are doing something active every day.
Speaker 2: You're staying connected, you're eating healthier. But the staying connected
Speaker 2: part is really crucial. You're talking to your friends and
Speaker 2: family more and all of that contributes to your brain health,
Speaker 2: which you know, should hopefully motivate all of us.
Speaker 4: So by staying connected, you're just saying that by talking
Speaker 4: to other people and engaging, you're using your brain instead
Speaker 4: of letting it go dormant.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which sounds really simple, but then you put the
Speaker 2: technology element into it, and as AI allows for individuals
Speaker 2: to not just get their heart scans and better information
Speaker 2: for different you know, checkups at the doctor. Hopefully we're
Speaker 2: moving to a world where you're getting your brain checked
Speaker 2: up and you're understanding, you know, not just if you're
Speaker 2: at risk or if you have the early signs for Parkinson,
Speaker 2: cementia or Alzheimer's, but you're able to track hey, this
Speaker 2: part of my brain is getting a little more inflamed,
Speaker 2: or this part of my brain is being is starting,
Speaker 2: you know, to develop signs for this, and then you
Speaker 2: can make a course correction. Because thirty percent, and this
Speaker 2: should motivate everybody, only thirty percent of longevity is genetic.
Speaker 2: The rest is up to us. So you know, we
Speaker 2: have to make these little choices that really have a
Speaker 2: long impact, not just on what we're how we're feeling today,
Speaker 2: but how we're feeling decades from now.
Speaker 4: Okay, so Kevin, before we go, just because yeah, I
Speaker 4: have a short attention span. So what give me like
Speaker 4: three or four things that we could do right now
Speaker 4: to kind of cheat the grim reaper and work.
Speaker 5: One is that keeping engaged. What what are a couple
Speaker 5: of things.
Speaker 2: Read read a book, read a book, Challenge yourself to
Speaker 2: read a book and finish it. And secondly is to
Speaker 2: be active. Go outside practice them, even if it's just
Speaker 2: for three times a week for twenty five minutes. Go
Speaker 2: on a walk. Literally, just go on a walk outside
Speaker 2: and get off your phone. And then finally, just stay
Speaker 2: connected human to human. Contact your friends, your family, show up,
Speaker 2: go out and hang out with them. Don't just call them,
Speaker 2: hang out with them and say engage, check in, stay
Speaker 2: with it, practice the daily rhythm.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm going to go take a walk today. Kevin Serrelli, futurist.
Speaker 4: Thank you for the information.
Speaker 5: We'll talk to you all right.
Speaker 4: Loma Linda, way to go. We knew that because ConA,
Speaker 4: you live in Loma Linda, are close to there. I
Speaker 4: live in in Lama Linda. So you're to live to
Speaker 4: be one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 3: That's the plan.
Speaker 4: Okay, good h The Department of Homeland Security is putting
Speaker 4: hundreds of sanctuary jurisdictions across the country on notice. The
Speaker 4: Department is publishing a list of those jurisdictions and says
Speaker 4: each one will get a formal notification if they're believed
Speaker 4: to be in violation of any federal criminal statutes. Sanctuary
Speaker 4: jurisdictions do not cooperate with immigration enforcement. Of course, California
Speaker 4: and the City of La are sanctuary jurisdictions. A woman
Speaker 4: says her husband has followed the rules, but was still
Speaker 4: handcuffed by immigration agents as he left his asylum hearing
Speaker 4: in San Francisco.
Speaker 8: They pulled us apart and heard the handcuffs, and my
Speaker 8: husband is not a criminal, and so that just kills me.
Speaker 4: Shalen Ordez says her husband came to the US from
Speaker 4: Columbia in January of last year to seek asylum because
Speaker 4: of his sexual orientation. Ordas says the judge didn't dismiss
Speaker 4: her husband's case following the asylum hearing last week. He
Speaker 4: is being held in a detention center near Bakersfield. The
Speaker 4: man accused of stalking actress Jennifer Aniston and vandalizing her
Speaker 4: home has been found incompetent to stand trial.
Speaker 14: Two psychiatrists have examined Jimmy Wayne Carwhile and reached the
Speaker 14: same conclusion he's not mentally fit to face the felony
Speaker 14: charges brought against him and Eli. Superior court judge in
Speaker 14: Hollywood agreed and says the criminal proceedings will stop for now.
Speaker 14: Carwhile will get treatment. He's due back in court next
Speaker 14: month for a hearing on where to put him. He's
Speaker 14: accused of crashing his car into the front gate of
Speaker 14: Aniston's house in bel Air. She was home but not hurt.
Speaker 14: He also allegedly send emails, voicemails, and social media posts
Speaker 14: to the star of Friends Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 4: People in Santa Monica say they're fed up with the
Speaker 4: noise from Waimo's self driving cars.
Speaker 15: People who live near the cities to Waimo charging lots
Speaker 15: say they can't stand the constant deeping noise when the
Speaker 15: Weymo vehicles drive in reverse. They say they hear the
Speaker 15: sound at all hours of the day. The City of
Speaker 15: Santa Monica says that Weaimo has taken several steps to
Speaker 15: reduce the noise, including planting.
Speaker 3: Trees to create a sound barrier.
Speaker 15: There are also complaints about increased traffic and light pollution.
Speaker 15: From headlights with more Waymo vehicles on the road going
Speaker 15: to and from the charging lots. Mark Mayfield, KFI News.

Speaker 4: the coast of southern California that's been causing marine birds
Speaker 4: and animals to get sick or die appears to be dissipating.
Speaker 4: The Marine Mammal Care Center in San Pedro says in
Speaker 4: the last week it has treated no new patients showing
Speaker 4: signs of demoic acid poisoning. A thirty five year old
Speaker 4: man has been convicted of repeatedly sexually assaulting his ex
Speaker 4: girlfriend's daughter in Santa Anna when she was between six
Speaker 4: and ten years old. Prosecutors say the girl came forward
Speaker 4: about the abuse after Sergio Erosio Martinez invited her and
Speaker 4: her mother to his wedding. She said she thought the
Speaker 4: fiancee should know about the abuse. He'll be sentenced in August.
Speaker 4: Millennials and gen z been turning to Google to navigate
Speaker 4: their everyday life skills. The search engine axios or told
Speaker 4: Axios that questions for things like how to use a mop,
Speaker 4: how to set up autopay, and how to do oil
Speaker 4: changes are at an all time high this year.
Speaker 5: All right, it's six.
Speaker 4: Oh five, it's handle on the news. A judge is
Speaker 4: going to weigh in on whether Mayor Bass is going
Speaker 4: to be subpoenaed along with La City council members over
Speaker 4: how they're handling homelessness. Let's say good morning now to
Speaker 4: the host of Home on KFI, our house whisperer, Dean Sharp.
Speaker 4: Welcome back from vacation, Dean, Ah, thank you very much.
Speaker 5: Ah, You're welcome.
Speaker 4: So today we're talking about like cool, new futuristic things
Speaker 4: that you can get for your house, not in the future,
Speaker 4: but right now here in the presser.
Speaker 3: This is true. This is true.
Speaker 16: Every year or so I try and set aside at
Speaker 16: least a couple of shows and we talk about new
Speaker 16: stuff that's out there that really could change the game,
Speaker 16: as it were, when it comes to your home or
Speaker 16: home building or some aspect of home. And we've got
Speaker 16: a really cool list this.
Speaker 4: Year, all right, so give us, give us a couple
Speaker 4: of the highlights. It sounds like you're you're fighting a
Speaker 4: bit of a cold as well.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I'm I'm a little nasally this morning, so forgive
Speaker 16: me for that. But all right, So right at the
Speaker 16: top of the list, super wood. What is super wooder wood? Well,
Speaker 16: here's the thing. It's not so much a particular wood,
Speaker 16: but it is a process now that any kind of
Speaker 16: wood can go through that makes it get this stronger
Speaker 16: than steal eighty percent, lighter than equivalent steal, and rot resistant,
Speaker 16: fire resistant, water resistant. It's really kind of an amazing idea.
Speaker 4: Okay, So here's my one question on this, because in
Speaker 4: the wake of the wildfires in La County, they're talking
Speaker 4: about how these all these fire burn areas are toxic
Speaker 4: because the houses are built with things with chemically you know,
Speaker 4: altered building materials, right, right, So is that does that
Speaker 4: superwood fall into that category?
Speaker 3: Not at all, not at all. It is wood.
Speaker 16: It is, in fact, in fact, the strength of superwood
Speaker 16: doesn't come from adding anything to the wood. It comes
Speaker 16: from removing something from the wood. So it goes through
Speaker 16: a little chemical treatment, and the chemicals don't stick around.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 16: The chemical treatment is the equivalent to the kind of
Speaker 16: treatment that we already take wood through to create pulp.
Speaker 16: And what that does is it removes this part of
Speaker 16: the wood that are lignins and what we call hemicellulose,
Speaker 16: which are kind of the carbohydrates and the sugars inside
Speaker 16: the wood. By the way, those are the materials that
Speaker 16: bugs like termites like to eat. Okay, so imagine imagine this.
Speaker 16: Imagine you take a regular piece of wood and you
Speaker 16: let termites just get to it. You know, we've all
Speaker 16: come across it. That's got all these tunnels inside it,
Speaker 16: all these voids spaces where they have just eaten out
Speaker 16: all of the goodness inside this wood. What they've left
Speaker 16: behind are actually the strongest parts of the wood. And
Speaker 16: now we take that after chemically removing those areas, we
Speaker 16: take that kind of spongy, open, hollow wood and we
Speaker 16: apply heat and pressure to it to press it down,
Speaker 16: recompress those areas and get them to bind to each
Speaker 16: other again. The walls of those inner voids, and what
Speaker 16: we end up with is a wood that is unbelievably strong,
Speaker 16: no added chemicals to it, whatsoever.
Speaker 3: It's wood. It's just wood that's so cool.
Speaker 5: And is it available now?
Speaker 16: It is available now, just this year, just this year,
Speaker 16: And they're beginning their rollout now because they're talking about
Speaker 16: the possibilities of even creating car body frames, airplane frames,
Speaker 16: and skyscrapers out of this material.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 16: But this year the rollout starts with siding and decking
Speaker 16: materials and then it will move on to structural beams.
Speaker 16: So imagine this. You talk about wildfire areas. Imagine that
Speaker 16: you have an house on the open space edge of
Speaker 16: a wildfire area. Imagine the freedom you have now from
Speaker 16: a design perspective to say, you know what, I'm going
Speaker 16: to put wood siding on my house and it's going
Speaker 16: to be entirely class A fire rated because super wood
Speaker 16: burns at the same temperature that stone and brick burn.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, And you're going to talk about more about this,
Speaker 4: and I would love to talk more about this, and
Speaker 4: your list of things is all things that I want
Speaker 4: to find out more about.
Speaker 5: But we don't have time.
Speaker 4: I'm here now, but we will this weekend on Home
Speaker 4: with Dean Sharp, and that is Saturday from six to
Speaker 4: eight and Sunday from nine to noon. And I will
Speaker 4: be particularly tuned into the firefly petunia.
Speaker 3: They glow in the dark.
Speaker 4: It's a petunia that glows in the dark. Yes, and
Speaker 4: there's no radioactivity.
Speaker 16: No no. They've mixed it with a lubinescent mushroom gene
Speaker 16: and now they glow at night.
Speaker 5: That is so cool.
Speaker 4: All right, Dean Sharp, thank you so much. Can't wait
Speaker 4: to listen to your show this weekend again. It's a
Speaker 4: Home on KFI. It's six to eight on Saturday morning
Speaker 4: and nine to noon on Sunday morning. Cool things in
Speaker 4: the future that you can get right now in the present.
Speaker 3: We'll see you there. All right, It's.
Speaker 4: Time to get in your business now with Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe.
Speaker 5: Courtney be Friday. I'm one of those petunias, by the way,
Speaker 5: I know, isn't that so cool?
Speaker 4: It sounds like it's going to be, you know, like
Speaker 4: bioluminescence in the waves.
Speaker 5: I got to go find out when we can get those, Oh,
Speaker 5: no doubt about it. I'm gonna be looking that up later. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Okay, So the first thing that you wanted to talk
Speaker 4: about was Disney, and I will tell you that I
Speaker 4: got my I got an email from Disney yesterday and
Speaker 4: when I was watching Disney Plus, a little pop up
Speaker 4: on my screen said, hey, we have some cool new perks.
Speaker 5: Here's how you find them. Yes, So what are.
Speaker 17: The streaming Well, the streaming wars are heating up, so
Speaker 17: Disney wants to get ahead of all of that. So
Speaker 17: Disney Plus subscribers can score discounts on Disney resorts and
Speaker 17: free items and video games. There's going to be contest
Speaker 17: to win a Disney cruise and a ten movie persary upcoming.
Speaker 17: Freak You're friend it good for you.
Speaker 5: I want a Disney cruiz.
Speaker 17: Those things are expensive, right, And but the program also
Speaker 17: includes discounts with partners like door Dash and Dual Lingo.
Speaker 17: But Hulu is also doing the same thing. They're going
Speaker 17: to debut their own perks program next week. It will
Speaker 17: offer subscribers a chance to win tickets to Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 5: Alive, Comic Con, and Lalapaloosa too.
Speaker 4: Okay, so if you're a Disney Plus or a Hulu subscriber,
Speaker 4: look for the deals. Like I said, mine popped up
Speaker 4: when I opened the streaming app yesterday to watch Handmaid's Tale,
Speaker 4: So watch for it in your inbox and also on
Speaker 4: your TV Screenhundai, I can't wait Honday.
Speaker 5: Honday.
Speaker 4: Hyundai good cars, low prices, but not quite as low.
Speaker 17: Yeah, because they're going to be shifting into a higher
Speaker 17: gear when it comes to.
Speaker 5: What I did.
Speaker 17: Sources tell us the automaker is preparing to increase the
Speaker 17: price of all of its cars in the US by
Speaker 17: one percent, of course, because of tariffs. In addition, Hyundai
Speaker 17: is likely to raise shipping charges and fees for options
Speaker 17: such as floor mats and roof racks. The price hike,
Speaker 17: the higher fees, that's expected to add several hundred dollars
Speaker 17: at least to each of the vehicles. So it's going
Speaker 17: to be a lot more expensive when you go into
Speaker 17: the dealership. But keep in mind the move would apply
Speaker 17: to newly built vehicles, leaving cars already sitting at the
Speaker 17: dealership unaffected.
Speaker 5: Okay, so you might still be able to get a deal.
Speaker 4: And the tariffs are kind of you know, they've got
Speaker 4: everybody nervous and thinking about raising prices and a lot
Speaker 4: of retailers are saying, yeah, we're gonna have to, but
Speaker 4: Costco's trying to hold the line.
Speaker 17: Yeah, They're flexing their muscles to try to keep the
Speaker 17: prices low. So the warehouse chain is taking a number
Speaker 17: of steps in response to tariffs. It's rerouting goods source
Speaker 17: from countries with high tariffs to other markets. It's sourcing
Speaker 17: more American produced mattresses, pillows, other items.
Speaker 5: Kind of like that.
Speaker 17: The retailer also pulled forward some summer products, which has
Speaker 17: helped Costco keep a lid on some prices. And of
Speaker 17: course it's been expanding the popular lower cost Kirkland brand.
Speaker 5: I love me a Kirkland product. Oh yeah they do.
Speaker 5: That's good stuff, no doubt. Okay.
Speaker 4: And then we've got the last trading day of the month,
Speaker 4: because my goodness, June is almost here.
Speaker 5: What are we expecting, Almahstrie, Well, listen to this.
Speaker 17: In nineteen ninety, this Billy Joel classic was at the
Speaker 17: top of the charts. And speaking of extremes, May is
Speaker 17: usually not a good month for stocks. There's actually an
Speaker 17: old adage on Wall Street selling May and go away.
Speaker 5: Everybody talks about that.
Speaker 17: But it's been a completely different story in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 17: and it's one of extreme See I'm bringing it back
Speaker 17: to that. The S and P five hundred is on
Speaker 17: track for its biggest monthly gain in May since nineteen ninety.
Speaker 17: The INDEXO swords six point two percent this month and
Speaker 17: we're now listened to this one within four percent of
Speaker 17: the February record, which definitely took a hit in April
Speaker 17: after the tariff.
Speaker 5: Swore rolled out.
Speaker 17: But as we wrap up the last training day of
Speaker 17: the month, it's not looking so good. The Dow Right now,
Speaker 17: Dow futures are down one hundred and twenty five points.
Speaker 17: President Trump within the half hour posted on truth social
Speaker 17: that China violated its trade agreement with the US and
Speaker 17: that immediately since stocks south of course.
Speaker 4: My goodness, it's just amazing how when he tweets something,
Speaker 4: everybody just goes, eh, hair on.
Speaker 5: Fire, and when the T word comes out, that's that's
Speaker 5: never good.
Speaker 4: Okay, Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho, thanks for getting in your business today.
Speaker 5: Let's do it again Monday. Shall we have a great
Speaker 5: we can enjoy? All right, you too.
Speaker 4: US inflation is cooled again, with little sign of any
Speaker 4: impact from Trump's tariffs. Consumer prices rose two point one
Speaker 4: percent for April compared to a year earlier, down from
Speaker 4: two point three percent in March and the lowest in September.
Speaker 4: A woman who worked as Sean Combe's personal assistance has
Speaker 4: testified in his sex trafficking trial that he sexually assaulted
Speaker 4: her over and over during the several years she worked
Speaker 4: for him. The woman is expected to be back on
Speaker 4: the stand today in Manhattan. Heat advisories are in effect
Speaker 4: for parts of the Southland, with temperatures expected to hit
Speaker 4: triple digits. The heat advisory mainly for the Santa Clarita
Speaker 4: and San Fernando Valleys. We're just minutes away from Handle
Speaker 4: on the news. He'll be talking about all the happenings
Speaker 4: of the day with his own handle.
Speaker 5: Take always fun. Let's say good.
Speaker 4: Morning now to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. So, Stephen, yesterday the
Speaker 4: Trump tariffs were blocked. But as we know with this administration,
Speaker 4: things change fast.
Speaker 5: What's the latest.
Speaker 10: Yeah, So it's a bit of a follow of the
Speaker 10: bouncing ball here. We have an important ruling by a
Speaker 10: federal court in New York, the US Court of International Trade,
Speaker 10: that struck down the tariffs on Wednesday night, and then
Speaker 10: yesterday the appeals court above that put a temporary pause
Speaker 10: on that ruling. I call it a temporary pause because
Speaker 10: we don't know whether it's going to last, and the
Speaker 10: court hasn't signaled one way or the other. It's just
Speaker 10: an administrative stay, that's how it's described, to allow for
Speaker 10: both sides to put in their initial round of filings
Speaker 10: in the case, and then the court will decide whether
Speaker 10: that stay remains in place, whether the state stays or
Speaker 10: the state goes, and then at that point the tariffs
Speaker 10: would again be.
Speaker 3: Put on pause.
Speaker 10: So for now, this morning, Friday, May thirtieth, legally speaking,
Speaker 10: the tariffs are still on that's the ten percent global
Speaker 10: tariffs the President put in place, and ultimately he's on
Speaker 10: track to have them the rest of the so called
Speaker 10: reciprocal tariffs supply in early July. But for now, it
Speaker 10: so back and forth, and the appeals court here in Washington,
Speaker 10: d C. That's the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit,
Speaker 10: will look at it now separately, not to confuse you,
Speaker 10: but separately on a different track in a different jurisdiction,
Speaker 10: but still here in Washington, a federal district court, in
Speaker 10: the District Court a federal districturt judge issued a ruling
Speaker 10: also striking the tariffs down, and that will be appealed
Speaker 10: to a separate federal circuit court, also here in Washington.
Speaker 10: But ultimately, and of course, it'll be the Supreme Court
Speaker 10: that is asked to weigh in on this. One way
Speaker 10: or another. The administration argues that judges should have nothing
Speaker 10: to say about this, that the president has been given
Speaker 10: emergency powers by the Congress, that that was a law
Speaker 10: passed in nineteen seventy seven, that while no president ever
Speaker 10: before tried to use these powers in this way, President
Speaker 10: Trump has the legal right to declare a national emergency
Speaker 10: or several national emergencies, and deal with those emergencies in
Speaker 10: the way that Congress, he says, intended, which is to
Speaker 10: impose these tariffs to deal with this rare and extraordinary
Speaker 10: emergency that he says is now in place.
Speaker 3: The opposite side.
Speaker 10: Of the argument, obviously, is that it's not only not
Speaker 10: an emergency, but that the tariffs won't deal with whatever
Speaker 10: he claims is the emergency, that he's merely trying to
Speaker 10: accomplish a whole nother round.
Speaker 3: Of other objectives.
Speaker 10: That really is for Congress to decide the people's elected representatives.
Speaker 10: If the president had the power simply to have impose
Speaker 10: taxes by simply signing a piece of paper, what's the
Speaker 10: point of having a congress. Now the administration, what's the
Speaker 10: point of having a president if a judge can come
Speaker 10: in and say, well, blah blah blah. So look, this
Speaker 10: is about power, it's about who has the final word.
Speaker 3: It's about you know, what.
Speaker 10: The broader objectives are. But ultimately it's about the limits
Speaker 10: of the government, limits of the law, and we'll see
Speaker 10: who wins.
Speaker 4: Okay, So, right now, as it stands, the tariffs are
Speaker 4: not blocked, but it still needs to play out in
Speaker 4: the courts. No decision has been made, right.
Speaker 3: Oh that's right.
Speaker 10: Yeah, So this is all very procedural and early, so
Speaker 10: there's no final ruling yet. It's just a matter of
Speaker 10: where are we in the process and what do the
Speaker 10: judges need and want. And right now they say they
Speaker 10: need more time to be able to make a decision.
Speaker 10: So they're going to put the pause in places the
Speaker 10: pause of the lower court ruling to allow for themselves
Speaker 10: to make sort of an informed decision as to whether
Speaker 10: the tariff should be on or off.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, what's that We're going to pause our conversation
Speaker 4: with Stephen Portnoy because I'm sure that we're going to
Speaker 4: put it back on again very soon, because it's probably gonna.
Speaker 5: Change on Monday.
Speaker 3: You can count on that.
Speaker 4: All right, ABC, Stephen Portnoy, thanks so much. Have a
Speaker 4: good weekend, you bet. Let's get back to some of
Speaker 4: the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 4: Thieves have stolen millions of dollars in merchandise from a
Speaker 4: family owned jewelry store in Glendale, Burglars got in through
Speaker 4: the roof of Badrussian Jewelry early Tuesday morning. They disabled
Speaker 4: security cameras, used blowtorches to open at least two of
Speaker 4: the three safes, and ransack the store. The store has
Speaker 4: been in business for more than twenty years. Another jewelry
Speaker 4: store in Seemi Valley had about two million dollars in
Speaker 4: cash and merchandise stolen by thieves on Sunday who cut
Speaker 4: through the roof and got through a wall to get in.

Speaker 4: announced a new way to help small businesses.
Speaker 12: The new centralized online hub is now available to help
Speaker 12: businesses access permits, resources, and procurement opportunities much more easily.
Speaker 12: Bass highlighted this during yesterday's twenty twenty five Procurement LA Summit.

Speaker 4: A lawsuit's been filed over a woman's headstone at Forest
Speaker 4: Lawn Cemetery in the Hollywood Hills. A man claims the
Speaker 4: cemetery engaged in fraud, breach of contract, and negligence when
Speaker 4: it buried his mom in the right plot but put
Speaker 4: the monument in the wrong place. He says he visited
Speaker 4: that incorrect site for years, causing him emotional distress when
Speaker 4: he learned the truth. The suit says he only learned
Speaker 4: of the mistake when a Forest Lawn employee explained the
Speaker 4: situation at his dad's burial. A case involving a cake
Speaker 4: for a same sex couple may be headed to the
Speaker 4: highest court.
Speaker 13: Two women in Bakersfield requested a simple cake from a
Speaker 13: bakery for their wedding in twenty seventeen, but the owner
Speaker 13: refused to make it due to her religious beliefs. California
Speaker 13: courts now say that violated state anti discrimination loss. Though
Speaker 13: a local judge ruled in twenty twenty two the owner's
Speaker 13: refusal was for religious motivations, an appeals court decided personal
Speaker 13: beliefs can't justify breaking California discrimination loss. The case could
Speaker 13: now be taken to the US Supreme Court, which has
Speaker 13: previously supported businesses refusing service to same sex couples. Mark
