To 31 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:51.359 vote two fifteen to two fourteen. A stretch of PCH 32 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.439 that's been closed since the Palisades fire in january's about 33 00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.319 to reopen. The highway has been restricted to businesses and 34 00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:00.599 residents in the burn zone and repair cruise for the 35 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.560 past four months.

We're going to take 43 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:31.960 a deeper look into how that group pulled it off 44 00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:35.159 in Louisiana with ABC's Brad Garrett. That's coming up in 45 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:37.400 just a couple of minutes. The happiest place on Earth 46 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.840 for me Disneyland, of course, but in the real world, 47 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.560 where are the happiest places on earth?

He's stepped out from behind the 57 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:11.879 TV camera and stepped onto the stage for his stand 58 00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.919 up comedy show called Unassisted Residency.

See I told you lots coming up 62 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:24.879 on Wake Up Call. Let's get started with some of 63 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:27.439 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 64 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.879 A small plane has crashed in a neighborhood in San Diego. 65 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.599 The plane went down just before four this morning in 66 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.680 the area of Murphy Canyon near the fifteen and the 67 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.919 eight freeways. There's no word yet on injuries or how 68 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:43.000 many people were on board. A stretch of PCH that's 69 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:45.680 been closed since the start of the fires in Pacific 70 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.280 Palisades set to reopen tomorrow. 71 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.639 For the past four months, the highway has only been 72 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.199 open to repair crews, essential businesses, and residents who live 73 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.479 in the burn areas in Pacific Palisades and Malibu. Governor 74 00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:01.000 Gavin Newsom has previously mentioned reopening pieced one lane of 75 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.919 traffic in each direction in May. Hundreds of thousands of 76 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:07.280 people use the highway, Mark Mayfield KFI News. 77 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:10.439 Thela City Council's heard its final round of public comment 78 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:12.800 on the proposed budget for the new fiscal year. 79 00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.560 With the city facing around a billion dollar budget shortfall. 80 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.040 The original proposal from Mayor Bass was to cut around 81 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.360 sixteen hundred jobs, but that's been modified. The Budget Committee 82 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:23.720 says it's made other cuts, move some money around and 83 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:27.279 reduce that number closer to five hundred. Firefighter John Harper 84 00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:29.519 says some of the cuts, though, would have put more 85 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:30.959 EMTs on the street. 86 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:36.399 Without funding and the constant supply of new firefighters and paramedics, 87 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.759 our current crisis will only get worse and this will 88 00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:41.240 have deadly consequences. 89 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:43.639 The full Council is expected to vote on the budget today. 90 00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:45.480 Michael Monks KFI News. 91 00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.560 State Senator Brian Jones says gas prices could go up 92 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:52.519 by about sixty five cents a gallon this summer because 93 00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:56.279 of Governor Newsom's policies. The minority leader in Sacramento says 94 00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:59.360 he has filed two public records requests for information on 95 00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:03.040 the new low carbon fuel standards that kick in July first. 96 00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.759 He says, overregulation is the problem what. 97 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.240 The Governor's been using it for lately as a hammer 98 00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.560 to continuously drive up prices of fuel in California by 99 00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:18.720 overregulating the refineries, overregulating the retailers, overregulating the oil drillers 100 00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:19.759 and extractors. 101 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.600 Joan says the governor and the California Air Resources Board, 102 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:26.279 or driving oil companies out of the state. Californians with 103 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.120 student loan debt are among those most responsible at paying 104 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.560 it back. A new analysis by the San Jose Mercury 105 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.600 News finds eighteen percent of borrowers in the state were 106 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.040 laid on loan payments. That's lower than the twenty three 107 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.879 percent national rate. California ranked tenth for the percentage of 108 00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.560 borrowers paying back responsibly. Student loan accounts for about five 109 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.920 percent of all debt in California, averaging about forty six 110 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.079 hundred dollars per person. Let's say good morning to ABC's 111 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:55.040 Brad Garrett. 112 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:58.639 Hey, Brad, good morning, Amy, Good morning. 113 00:05:58.680 --> 00:05:58.839 Now. 114 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.560 I want to talk about this escape because I'm absolutely 115 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:04.439 fascinated by jail breaks. I know you and I have 116 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:06.920 talked about him before. But before that, I do want 117 00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:13.160 to get a quick update on that awful shooting in Washington, 118 00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:16.720 d C. Last night outside the Jewish Museum. Can you 119 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:18.800 give us the latest information that you have. 120 00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:24.519 Yes, it's called the Capitol Jewish Museum, not to be 121 00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:27.519 confused with the Holocaust Museum. They're both here in d C. 122 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:31.920 But there are two separate entities. So the museum had 123 00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:37.720 some event last night and a couple walk out and 124 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.639 literally are gunned down or right by the entrance to 125 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:46.800 the museum, and the shooter was immediately taken into custody. 126 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.160 He didn't run. In fact, some reporting is he actually 127 00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:53.120 walked into the museum, but either way, he was immediately 128 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:59.519 handcuffed by DC police and identified as a thirty year 129 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:03.680 old from Chicago. But the last day I believe in Rodriguez. Now, 130 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:08.199 you know, there's always second guessing amy at these like, 131 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:10.920 you know, should he have been able to be there 132 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:15.399 with security adequate? I mean, I don't know, how do 133 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.839 you defense against, you know, picking a busy street in 134 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:22.959 Los Angeles and people walking around and people coming out 135 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:25.439 of movie theaters, restaurants whatever. 136 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.079 Right, because the shooting happened out on the street, right, 137 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:29.759 it wasn't inside. 138 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:35.079 The building exactly, So you know, gunning people down unless 139 00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:37.480 you know about it, it's pretty difficult to defends against, 140 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:39.240 no matter what your security might be. 141 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:41.439 So to be. 142 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:45.600 That what it may, you know, it just sadly maybe 143 00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:52.079 sheds additional light on what's going on in Gaza, And 144 00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:57.120 I think as it gets more and more, particularly humanitarian 145 00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:00.319 side of it gets more and more depleted, you're going 146 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.399 to get people more and more angry, and usually when 147 00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.839 that happens, granted, a small percentage of them will act 148 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:08.639 out violently. 149 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:12.199 Yeah. And this guy apparently had said that he did 150 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:14.399 it for Gaza when he was taken into custody and 151 00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:17.800 then was yelling free, free Palestine. So he's not making 152 00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:21.160 any bones about it. It basically like you said, he 153 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:24.199 waited around for police to get there, wasn't trying to 154 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:24.879 get away. 155 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:30.040 Exactly right, Yeah, exactly right, able to make a statement, yeah, 156 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:35.799 you know, and so we're fortunate that we don't have 157 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.279 more of versions of this, just based on what's going 158 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:40.000 on over there. 159 00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:43.799 And so you know, it's. 160 00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.480 Even in a tight security I suspect up even more 161 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:54.279 at anything that involves Jewish communities, synagogue, you name it. 162 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:57.360 I mean, this stuff just tightens everybody up and rightly. 163 00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:57.519 So. 164 00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:01.039 Yeah, and what's scary to me, Brad is that this 165 00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.519 is happening half a world away. This is a young 166 00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:08.919 couple that had nothing to do with what's going on 167 00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:12.000 in Gaza, I mean except that they're Jewish and Israel's 168 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.200 a Jewish state, so they are the innocence in it, 169 00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:17.879 and that somebody in their warped minds is this is 170 00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:18.759 going to help fix it. 171 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.200 So you have to look at it this way that 172 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:28.639 this couple is probably symbolic. I'd be shocked if he 173 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:33.200 knows anything about them, but you know, and maybe just 174 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:38.559 guess because he's standing in front of a Jewish museum 175 00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:41.360 that the people coming out would be Jewish. My guess 176 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.799 is it's just that simple and sad, of course, but 177 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:50.200 it's you know, you are right. I mean, they're just 178 00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:53.159 here trying to do their job and apparently we're going 179 00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:56.519 to get married. Yeah, and very. 180 00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.840 Sad, very sad. Okay, and now we're almost out of time, 181 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.159 but okay, can we talk about this the jail break 182 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.159 really quick, because they sure they got out. There's ten 183 00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.639 of them, and I'm fascinated with jail breaks. What where 184 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.639 are we now with the group that got away, Like 185 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:17.519 ten of them got away and they've got half of 186 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:21.519 them back, and let's sten give them back how they 187 00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:25.879 got away and the system failures that enabled them to 188 00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:28.960 get away, because this was not a, like you said, 189 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:33.480 a Shawshank redemption moment, which, by the way, mister Dufrain 190 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:39.399 was innocent. This disgust didn't take years and years to do. 191 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:41.600 They basically had to break out a wall and off 192 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:41.960 they went. 193 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:48.519 Well, yes, but to remove the toilet Saint combo would 194 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:50.559 not be an easy thing to do, so they had 195 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:53.080 to have somebody smuggle tools into them. They had to 196 00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:55.360 create the hole that they went through, they had to 197 00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:58.519 have inside help, which they did. And you also have 198 00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.679 to have a prison that's understand by almost forty percent, 199 00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:07.440 and maintenance apparently, according to sheriff, is in really bad 200 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:10.039 shape of doors that you can break open, they can 201 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:12.240 slide them off the hinges, whatever it might be. That 202 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.240 so you've got all of the elements in my view, 203 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:22.320 that lead to escapes, and they'll probably get the other five. 204 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:26.080 But because it's very hard to stay on the run 205 00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.000 and most of these people don't have the means to 206 00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:30.679 do that in a way that they won't get caught. 207 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.080 And then they also made a couple of arrests of 208 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.480 people who have helped them since they broke out. 209 00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:40.279 Right right, there's at least one guy apparently has admitted 210 00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:43.039 that he was told by i think, for lack of 211 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.000 better terms, the leader of these ten that he was 212 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:47.840 going to get shanked if he didn't shut the water 213 00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:51.320 off because once they yank the toilet and to think 214 00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.120 there would just be a flood, And so he shuts 215 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:55.879 the water off for them. And now we'll see where 216 00:11:55.919 --> 00:12:00.360 that is. I think they've suspended some other employees, but 217 00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:02.840 we'll see how far this goes. Corruption can be a 218 00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:06.000 real big issue, and particularly in prisons that are so 219 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:09.759 understaffed and and the other it's going to be probably underpaid. 220 00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:12.759 Yeah. Well, and hey, I watched the mayor of Kingstown. 221 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.080 Prisons are nothing to be rifled with. It's amazing to 222 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:19.279 me that that kind of violence and corruption goes on 223 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:22.240 inside that. Like you said, the guy inside said they 224 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:24.279 told me that they would kill me if I didn't 225 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:26.879 turn the water off, and he took that as a 226 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.200 credible threat instead of like cracking down on the guys 227 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:31.039 who made the threat. 228 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:35.440 Well, other than he may not have felt comfortable in 229 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.919 going to anybody. We'll have to see. I mean, on 230 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:41.039 this level, if you have a prison that this has 231 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:44.799 this number of issues, there may be all sorts of 232 00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:49.200 other corruption involved here. So so we'll have to see. 233 00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:52.159 Yeah, absolutely, And then I'm going to be watching for 234 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.120 the movie because it's it's a fascinating story. How it 235 00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:55.960 all comes together. 236 00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:02.240 Yeah, right, Like I said, it's it's not Escape from Alcatraz, 237 00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:05.840 but it does. It does have its elements. 238 00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.600 Absolutely, Brad Garrett, ABC's crime and Terror analysts. We appreciate 239 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:12.879 the information as always.

The bill includes changes to 257 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.159 Medicaid and the food stamp program, largely by imposing work 258 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.480 requirements on many of those who receive benefits.
