But that's okay, that'll be 13 00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:56.880 a beautiful afternoon at Dodger Stadium. 14 00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:57.399 Can't wait. 15 00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.799 Here's what's ahead on wake up Call. LA bases her 16 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:04.239 meetings with state lawmakers were productive. She and other leaders 17 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.799 went to Sacramento yesterday to ask for money to help 18 00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:11.359 bill LA's estimated one billion dollars shortfall. After the meeting, 19 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.680 LA area lawmakers requested nearly two billion dollars for the city. 20 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:18.159 Four hundred and forty thousand acres have been added to 21 00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:21.079 the highest fire hazard zones on new fire maps just 22 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:24.439 released by cal Fire. The maps divide California into three 23 00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:29.680 fire hazard zones the LA and city and county areas 24 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.959 now have full four months to make adjustments and start 25 00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:41.359 enforcing heightened safety regular zones. Warplanes are actually war plans 26 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.519 for military strikes and Yemen have inadvertently been shared with 27 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.680 the editor in chief of The Atlantic newspaper. Top national 28 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:52.200 security officials for President Trump, including his Defense secretary, were 29 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.519 on the group texts that somehow included editor Jeffrey Goldberg. 30 00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.359 ABC's Karen Travers is going to join us in just 31 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:01.120 a couple of minutes to help flush this out. 32 00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:01.879 See what happened? 33 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.400 What is section two thirty? Why do lawmakers want to 34 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:11.240 change it? Also a Looney Tunes look at Tesla. ABC's 35 00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.919 Mike Debuski is going to join us at five thirty 36 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.120 five and tell us all about both of those things. 37 00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:19.560 And then before the hour is up, we've got Joel Larsgard. 38 00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:21.919 He's going to tell us what to do about student 39 00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.680 loans in the face of the gutting of the Department 40 00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:28.280 of Education, and why you may soon be paying more 41 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.199 if you own a Tesla and it's not the car itself. 42 00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:34.840 Let's get started with some of the stories coming out 43 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.120 of the KFI twenty four Hour newsroom. Twelve acres of 44 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:41.199 a golf course in Altadena are now being used as 45 00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:44.599 a temporary recycling site for debris from the Eton fire. 46 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.879 Kfi's Mark Mayfield says locals are not happy about it. 47 00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:50.840 A group of residents reacted by staging a protest. The 48 00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.800 US Army Corps of Engineers insists the process is safe, 49 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.560 saying vegetative debris, scrap metal, and clean concrete will be 50 00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.039 broken down at the golf course. 51 00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:05.560 He says, ash, toxic debris, and other hazardous materials will 52 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.840 be put into a sealed truck and taken directly to 53 00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:13.039 a permitted landfill. The deadline for free fire debris removal 54 00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:14.680 in La County is coming up quick. 55 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:16.800 It's less than a week now before the March thirty 56 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.759 first deadline for homeowners to opt into a free federal 57 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:24.319 program for debris removal. Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsay Horrivath 58 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.759 is urging residents to sign up now to help speed 59 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.960 up recovery. The US Army Corps of Engineers is leading 60 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.280 the government sponsored debris removal program. 61 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.400 Kafi's Tammy Trujillo says residents who opt out of the 62 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:39.479 government program can hire their own private contractors, with costs 63 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:43.080 paid out of pocket or by insurance. New fire zone 64 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.400 maps for southern California have been released by CalFire. 65 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.360 Fire zone maps are updated nearly every decade, and now 66 00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.360 they show three different tiers for all areas of the state, 67 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.319 Moderate high and very high as it relates to risk 68 00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:57.319 of fire. LA County Supervisor Catherine Barger says the maps 69 00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.000 could help homeowners figure out what defenses they may need. 70 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.400 There are things you can do to harden your home, 71 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.080 Clarence brush clearance and things like that that will help, 72 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:08.680 and I know insurance companies do take that into consideration. 73 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.639 The map is now live on Calfire's website, and official 74 00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:14.080 say it's important to review because it could affect how 75 00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.000 people are able to build in the future. Michael Monks 76 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.000 KFI News. 77 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:22.120 The former interpreter for Dodgers player Shohei Otani gets to 78 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:26.879 remain free a little while longer. Daniel Martindale says Ibe 79 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.879 Mitzuhara was supposed to start his nearly five year prison 80 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:30.920 sentence yesterday. 81 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.839 He pleaded guilty to stealing millions of dollars from Otani's 82 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.720 bank account to feed his addiction to a legal gambling. 83 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:40.480 The US Department of Justice has granted Misahara a postponement, 84 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:43.839 allowing him to surrender to federal agents at an unspecified 85 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:44.480 later date. 86 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:48.279 The Feds didn't say why they delayed it, and the 87 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:52.879 court order is sealed. Let's say good morning to ABC's 88 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:57.360 White House, not ABC's I'm used to ABC kfi's White 89 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.279 House correspondent. We get him for our very own. It's 90 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:02.519 John Dicker. Good morning, John. 91 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.079 Hey, good morning to you. Hope you're doing well today, Amy, 92 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:06.639 Thank you. 93 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:10.040 So we got some people in the Trump administration headed 94 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.279 to Greenland last this week. 95 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:13.279 Tell us what's going on. 96 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:14.759 Yeah. 97 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:18.759 The delegations being led by Usha Vance, Vice President jd 98 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:23.800 Vance's wife. Also traveling in that delegation will be Mike Walt, 99 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:28.639 a national security advisor to President Trump, President Trump's Energy secretary, 100 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:32.959 as well President Trump. Yesterday at his Cabinet meeting, I 101 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.959 was there when the President said that this delegation has 102 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:41.639 been invited by the government of Greenland during the course 103 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:45.079 of this visit. But Greenland's Prime Minister immediately put out 104 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:49.920 a statement saying no official or unofficial or informal invitation 105 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.360 was ever extended to this group that will travel to 106 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:55.079 Greenland later this week. 107 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:02.040 So what I amma is that some of the things 108 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.439 that come out of our president's mouth when they can 109 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:08.319 be clearly refuted immediately. 110 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:13.240 Yeah, this was an example of the President just speaking 111 00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.360 and responding to a question posed to him about Greenland. 112 00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:20.360 The President has territorial ambitions as it relates to Greenland 113 00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:23.600 being a part of US territory, but Greenland's Prime minister 114 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:28.120 says that's not going to happen. The citizens of Greenland 115 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.160 recently had an election in which they indicated they have 116 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:33.439 no desire to be a part of the United States, 117 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:38.040 and Denmark's prime minister, Greenland is a territory of Denmark, 118 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:43.639 also has said Greenland is not for sale. So obviously 119 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:45.959 this is going to be difficult in terms of what 120 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:51.639 the President desires. And as you may know, the United 121 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:55.480 States has a military base on Greenland right now. At 122 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.839 one point during World War Two, the United States has 123 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:05.120 thirty seven military bases on Greenland. That number has diminished 124 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:08.560 significantly over the course of the past few decades. And 125 00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.279 you know, there's nothing to stop the United States from 126 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:15.199 asking Greenland, can we put another base somewhere else on 127 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:19.720 Greenland's territory. I'm sure they would be amenable to that, 128 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:23.600 but the President is more interested in having Greenland as 129 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:25.319 part of US territory. 130 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.560 Okay, So I want to ask you about whether that 131 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.160 is even doable. I mean, what do we do just 132 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:33.160 go in and say we're taking over? I mean, how 133 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:37.000 do they have the authority to do that? Do we invade? 134 00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:38.720 How would we get Greenland? 135 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.720 Yeah? Very good question. I don't know the answers to that. 136 00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:43.680 Why is that? 137 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:47.560 Because Denmark is a part of NATO, and I cannot 138 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:52.439 think of any instance in which one NATO country essentially 139 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:59.759 acquiring through any means, the territory of another NATO territory. 140 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:02.759 So I don't know how this all works its way out. 141 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.360 I think it's one of those things that the president 142 00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:09.519 is fixated upon, and when he's fixated upon something, he 143 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:12.399 talks about it often, and in the case of what's 144 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:15.759 happening later this week, he actually assigns members of his 145 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:20.560 administration to go about trying to achieve his goal. I 146 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.160 think it's going to be difficult, if not impossible, to 147 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:26.079 achieve that goal, just like it's going to be difficult, 148 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:29.480 if not impossible, to achieve one of the president's other goals. 149 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:30.720 That he speaks about. 150 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.960 Making Canada the fifty first state or re acquiring the 151 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.320 Panama Canal after it was conveyed to Panama in nineteen 152 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.159 seventy nine through a treaty. So this is something the president, 153 00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:47.000 I think he to a certain extent amy wants to 154 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:51.240 emulate a former president, and that's President McKinley, who acquired 155 00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.799 quite a bit of territory during his four years in 156 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:54.480 the White House. 157 00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:59.240 So I'm wondering, just spitballing here, John, I wonder if 158 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:02.799 this is just it's part of a negotiation tactic with Trump. 159 00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:06.919 He goes in, says give me the moon, and then 160 00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:09.759 you know, comes back and says, Okay, let's go back 161 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.559 and forth and figure something out. Maybe he just wants 162 00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:15.639 more bases on Greenland and this is his starting. 163 00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:17.879 Maybe, but you know that's something that it can certainly 164 00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:21.080 be negotiated. Doesn't have to go about this in this matter. 165 00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:23.279 And you know, this is not the first time the 166 00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:27.320 President has spoken about desiring Greenland as a territory of 167 00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:29.600 the United States. He also did that during his first 168 00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:32.679 term in the White House and then moved on to 169 00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:35.559 something else. But you know, this is something that he 170 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.960 appears to be dictated on. He was asked a question 171 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:43.360 about it yesterday at that Cabinet meeting that took place 172 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.600 at the White House, did not bring it up himself. 173 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:49.720 Yet we do know that this delegation, I believe it's 174 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:53.480 on Thursday, we'll travel to Greenland for I guess you 175 00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:56.240 can call it sort of a surveying visit, a sight 176 00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:58.440 seeing visit. I don't know what you actually would call it. 177 00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:00.720 Okay, So before I let you go, John, then we 178 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.480 know who's going, and you say it maybe sort of 179 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.600 a surveying visit. Are they meeting with leaders? Are they 180 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:10.759 just showing up and wandering around? What's going on there? 181 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:15.320 Yeah? There are. There's an itinerary that they have. They 182 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:18.559 will not be meeting with the Prime Minister, for instance, 183 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:21.320 of Greenland.
