Speaker 3: It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy Kig.

Speaker 1: snooze again.
Speaker 4: Get up.
Speaker 1: You know, yesterday we were talking about Paradise on Amy's
Speaker 1: on It my favorite favorite show. They just did the
Speaker 1: season finale and it's all the whole season can be
Speaker 1: binged now on Hulu. And I got several messages on
Speaker 1: social media yesterday going Amy, I was listening for your
Speaker 1: for your review, but I fell back asleep like several people,
Speaker 1: so they missed it. It was Paradise on Hulu, really good.
Speaker 1: And then falling back asleep didn't happen.
Speaker 4: This morning.
Speaker 1: The wind woke me up, which was weird because it
Speaker 1: hasn't been that windy, but in my neighborhood it was
Speaker 1: blowing around and I thought somebody was trying to break
Speaker 1: into my back door because it was like rattling the doors.
Speaker 4: So I got up early because they couldn't go back
Speaker 4: to sleep.
Speaker 1: Speaking of wind and rain and snow, little Jackie is
Speaker 1: on the nest protecting the little eaglets who.
Speaker 4: Are apparently doing very well.
Speaker 1: We watched them feed several times on the big Bear
Speaker 1: eagle camera.
Speaker 4: You can watch it anytime.
Speaker 1: It's on my uh it's on my page on the
Speaker 1: KFI website kfiam six forty dot com. And then go
Speaker 1: to the wake Up Call page and we've got a
Speaker 1: link to it where you can see it. And man,
Speaker 1: the wind is blowing. You could see the nest, but
Speaker 1: she's protecting them, keeping them nice and warm.
Speaker 4: Birds get seasick, well, if they do, they.
Speaker 1: Probably are now because that nest is blowing. Here's what's
Speaker 1: ahead on wake Up Call. The rain moving through the
Speaker 1: Southland is not packing much of a punch. The National
Speaker 1: Weather Services Andrew Rourke says a third to a half
Speaker 1: of an inch of rain is expected, but no flooding
Speaker 1: is expected. Rourke says there are concerns about mud and
Speaker 1: debris flows in the wildfire burn scars, but this, in
Speaker 1: his words, isn't much of a storm. Another potentially more
Speaker 1: powerful storm was going to move through next week, so
Speaker 1: cal Edison's been sued by La County and the cities
Speaker 1: of Pasadena and Sierra Madre. They're claiming the utilities transmission
Speaker 1: lines sparked the wildfire that destroyed more than nine thousand
Speaker 1: homes in January. The Big three automakers have been given
Speaker 1: a month to a one month exemption from tariffs on
Speaker 1: goods from Canada and Mexico. Press Secretary Caroline Levitt says
Speaker 1: reciprocal tariffs will still go into effect April second. Now
Speaker 1: break in the tariffs since stock storing, So we're going
Speaker 1: to talk to ABC's Karen Travers in just a couple
Speaker 1: of minutes about that and then also what's in store
Speaker 1: for stocks today when we get in your business with
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho. That's at five point forty wake up
Speaker 1: call went out and about to go behind the scenes
Speaker 1: in Hollywood, and we've got some tickets for you to
Speaker 1: go check it out too, So keep your phone close.
Speaker 1: We've got out and about coming up at five point
Speaker 1: thirty five. There's a lot of assistance out there for
Speaker 1: fire victims, but not for much longer. We're going to
Speaker 1: be talking with FEMA this morning about what is available,
Speaker 1: who is eligible, and the deadlines that are coming up
Speaker 1: very quickly. That is at five twenty, and then at
Speaker 1: five point fifty, we're going to tell you about a
Speaker 1: birthday party this weekend that is being thrown for a
Speaker 1: couple hundred kids who didn't get to celebrate their birthdays
Speaker 1: because of the wildfires.
Speaker 4: Pretty special stuff.
Speaker 1: Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four our newsroom. RAY means potentially
Speaker 1: dangerous driving conditions. Caltrand says it is monitoring the roads
Speaker 1: and warning drive to use some basic safety tips before
Speaker 1: they travel.
Speaker 5: They avoid flooded areas and padding an extra time to
Speaker 5: to your trip expecting to lave.
Speaker 1: Cal trans Nathan Bass says they will also be keeping
Speaker 1: a close eye on the Grapevine where it is expected
Speaker 1: to snow.
Speaker 5: We'll be preparing the road there with a mixture of
Speaker 5: sand and ash to help melt and provide trash on
Speaker 5: the road.
Speaker 4: He says.
Speaker 1: The bottom line is stay off the roads if you
Speaker 1: can when the weather is really bad. LA Mayor, Bass
Speaker 1: and fire recovery leaders are expected to make what they're
Speaker 1: calling an important announcement for residents of the Palisades. They're
Speaker 1: also expected to highlight progress made to speed up the
Speaker 1: rebuilding process and get people back home. CAFI is going
Speaker 1: to be monitoring and we'll bring you the latest. So
Speaker 1: Cal Edison has been sued by La County and two
Speaker 1: cities over one of the big fires in January.
Speaker 6: Lawsuits brought by the county and the cities of Sierra
Speaker 6: Madre and Pasadena blame the utility for the destructive et
Speaker 6: and fire. In separate suits, the local governments say there
Speaker 6: is compelling evidence that the fire was started at the
Speaker 6: site of SoCal Edison equipment. The utility has stated publicly
Speaker 6: before that it is investigating, but it could take months
Speaker 6: to know whether SoCal Edison equipment was the cause. The
Speaker 6: lawsuits brought by the county and the city seek to
Speaker 6: recover costs associated with the response and recovery. Michael Monks
Speaker 6: KFI News.
Speaker 7: Attention all seniors, this is Steve Carrell with a very
Speaker 7: special announcement.
Speaker 1: Corell posted a video online. It was directed at students
Speaker 1: who were affected by the wildfire in Altadena. He says
Speaker 1: he has partnered with a charity called Alice's Kids to
Speaker 1: pay for their prom tickets, and if you have.
Speaker 7: Already paid for your prom tickets, they will reimburse you
Speaker 7: for your prom tickets.
Speaker 3: It's a pretty good deal.
Speaker 4: He's so funny.
Speaker 1: The organization is donating about one hundred and seventy five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to seniors at six high schools in Altadena.
Speaker 1: Alice's Kids says it wanted to erase the worry of
Speaker 1: paying for tickets, knowing the financial pressure many families are
Speaker 1: going through. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Karen Travers. Karen,
Speaker 1: bit of a reprieve when it comes to tariffs. What
Speaker 1: is off the table for now?
Speaker 8: Yeah, the big three automakers Ford, Stilantis, and GM got
Speaker 8: a temporary reprieve from the twenty five percent terraffs on
Speaker 8: products coming into the US from Mexico and Canada. The
Speaker 8: CEOs of these companies called the President, made a personal
Speaker 8: sales pitch, and the President agreed to pause the tariffs
Speaker 8: for a month on cars and parts coming into the US.
Speaker 8: These companies are applauding this. The stock market liked it
Speaker 8: yesterday too, and rallied yesterday on the news and they're
Speaker 8: saying that the delay will help the American automotive sector thrive.
Speaker 8: The White House has been very clear this is not permanent,
Speaker 8: This is a short term fix. They want these companies
Speaker 8: to shift their production to the US. Katie Vance said
Speaker 8: yesterday that the way to avoid terriffs is to have
Speaker 8: your factory and facility here in the US. That's hard
Speaker 8: to do in a month. I mean, you imagine trying
Speaker 8: to start a business in a month. Imagine trying to
Speaker 8: start a car plant in a month. So really they're
Speaker 8: not going to be able to do that, but it
Speaker 8: does give them some breathing room to stock up on
Speaker 8: parts that they would be getting from those countries and
Speaker 8: as they're making cars now over the next month. You know,
Speaker 8: cars go back and forth across the border, some of
Speaker 8: them do as they're being made. The production lines are
Speaker 8: across the border. If that were happening with the tariffs
Speaker 8: in place, every time they went across they would be
Speaker 8: subjected to tariffs, so that cost would go up, and
Speaker 8: experts say, you know that that would potentially raise the
Speaker 8: cost of a car by thousands of dollars, maybe for
Speaker 8: a new car three thousand dollars on average. So this
Speaker 8: pause doesn't mean that, you know, the cars that are
Speaker 8: in production now for the next month won't be subjected
Speaker 8: to that. But at the end of the month, we're
Speaker 8: not sure them what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think it seems like it would get
Speaker 1: very confusing with some on, some off and kind of
Speaker 1: keeping track of that. And like you said, every time
Speaker 1: it goes across the border, there's a tariff, and then
Speaker 1: it goes back south. Yeah, and there's a tiff, and
Speaker 1: then it goes back north and there's a terriff.
Speaker 8: Very complex, and you know, you think the other big
Speaker 8: question now too is who else is going to ask
Speaker 8: for exemption?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 8: You know, you can imagine the phone at the White
Speaker 8: House ringing off the hook of like, well, if they
Speaker 8: got it, what about us? And yesterday my colleague Rachel
Speaker 8: Scott asked the White House if there would be a
Speaker 8: consideration of an exemption for eggs imported from Canada. Prices
Speaker 8: of eggs have gone up, there are shortages right now
Speaker 8: and last year we imported forty three million dollars of
Speaker 8: eggs from Canada. Carolin Lembet, the Press Secretary, wouldn't commit
Speaker 8: to anything specific, wouldn't talk about specific sectors that could
Speaker 8: get exemptions, but did say, the President is open to
Speaker 8: hearing about additional exemptions. Basically, the phone lines are open,
Speaker 8: so I think if you're a CEO or you're running
Speaker 8: a business or something, you know, give a call see
Speaker 8: if you can get one too.
Speaker 1: And a lot of people are worried about food. Avocados, bananas,
Speaker 1: and strawberries mentioned specifically.
Speaker 4: Is there any chance those.
Speaker 1: Might be modified or do you have any rumblings of
Speaker 1: anything else that might be in the works.
Speaker 8: Not specifically coming from the White House, but the President
Speaker 8: is talking to the President of Mexico this morning and
Speaker 8: she has held off on the official plan for retaliatory tariffs,
Speaker 8: thinking that me there could be negotiating room today in
Speaker 8: the conversation with the President. So we're waiting to see
Speaker 8: what happened after that phone call today.
Speaker 1: Okay, ABC's Karen Travers, thank you so much, appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Have a great day, all right, you too.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. President Trump has
Speaker 1: met in the Oval Office with more than a half
Speaker 1: dozen hostages freed from Gaza.
Speaker 6: We will take it to Roctavishana.
Speaker 1: They told the President about their treatment by Hamas and
Speaker 1: said they didn't think they'd make it out.
Speaker 3: Well, you better let us have those people back. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you better let them out.
Speaker 9: We did say that and something happened to it.
Speaker 1: Thanks. Know, you're to get the rest of the game,
Speaker 1: Trump reassured them, saying we will get them out. President
Speaker 1: Trump then issued what he calls a last warning to Hamas,
Speaker 1: demanding the release of all hostages and the return of
Speaker 1: murdered victim's bodies. He posted the message after the White
Speaker 1: House confirmed that US officials had held direct talks with Hamas.
Speaker 1: The talks, focused on releasing American hostages and ending the war,
Speaker 1: took place in Qatar, but reportedly there wasn't any progress.
Speaker 1: Trump also pledged full support to Israel in its efforts
Speaker 1: against the terror group. About five thousand workers are getting
Speaker 1: their jobs back at the US Department of Agriculture. Federal
Speaker 1: officials say the firings may have been unlawful, and employees
Speaker 1: are getting their jobs back for at least the next
Speaker 1: forty five days. The ruling only applies to the probationary
Speaker 1: employees fired from the USDA, no other agencies. Elon Musk
Speaker 1: Is met with Senate Republicans in Washington to talk about
Speaker 1: the cuts by his Department of Government Efficiency.
Speaker 9: You know, there's a.
Speaker 3: Lot of opportunities here for expenditures in the government.
Speaker 1: They met in private for about two hours yesterday. Kentucky
Speaker 1: Senator Rand Paul says he told Musk they need to
Speaker 1: put the cuts in a spending package and get it passed.
Speaker 1: Several senators say Musk was surprised to learn that there
Speaker 1: was a legislative way to make the DOGE cuts permanent.
Speaker 4: The chief of.
Speaker 1: Staff for House Speaker Mike Johnson's been busted for dui.
Speaker 10: Hayden Haynes, a powerful aid on Capitol Hill, was arrested
Speaker 10: Tuesday for drunken driving after President Trump's joint addressed to Congress.
Speaker 10: Police say he backed his car into a Capital vehicle
Speaker 10: around midnight. He was arrested but released with a citation
Speaker 10: to appear in court.
Speaker 4: Kfis Mark Mayfield, says.
Speaker 1: Speaker Johnson says he stands by his chief of staff
Speaker 1: and will allow him to keep leading the office. The
Speaker 1: Pentagon is signing an AI deal for military planning and operations.
Speaker 1: The program, called thunder Forge, will use startup scale AI
Speaker 1: to make the decision making process faster. The program focuses
Speaker 1: on using Microsoft's large language model systems to develop and
Speaker 1: deploy AI technology. This is all sounding very terminator ish. Really,
Speaker 1: what was that called sky sky Nett? Yeah, Okay, here's
Speaker 1: something else. It's kind of sci fi e It's almost
Speaker 1: time for the Season of the Force at Disneyland.

Speaker 1: the media relations specialist and Disaster Operations Division leader for FEMA.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Latanga, good morning. Thank you so much for
Speaker 1: coming on today. We wanted to have you on because
Speaker 1: we know that FEMA is helping so many people in
Speaker 1: southern California whose homes were either lost or damaged by
Speaker 1: the fires. And there are some important deadlines approaching. First
Speaker 1: of all, let's talk about who can apply for this
Speaker 1: assistance in case somebody might be listening and they didn't
Speaker 1: realize that they still qualify.
Speaker 12: Alrighty, let's start with homeowners. Those are people with and
Speaker 12: without insurance, renters, and even independent students. And I'd also
Speaker 12: like to add an asterisk if your home is still
Speaker 12: standing and it did not burn to the ground, if
Speaker 12: you live within La County and was impacted by the fire,
Speaker 12: you too should also apply.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, we have somebody who works here, Tuala. He
Speaker 1: works in the evenings with mo Kelly. His hell home
Speaker 1: made it through the fires, but it's uninhabitable because there
Speaker 1: was so much damage from all the smoke.
Speaker 12: And what we're finding is that there's been some people
Speaker 12: that have self excluded themselves and interpreted our outreach to
Speaker 12: me that if your house burned down, that you should apply.
Speaker 12: Anybody that was impacted by this fire, under any circumstances
Speaker 12: should apply.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 8: Good.
Speaker 1: Good to know, Latanga, And what kind of assistance does
Speaker 1: FEMA offer. Is it just money or is that other
Speaker 1: physical assistance as well?
Speaker 12: Now we have an array of types of assistance that
Speaker 12: we can help with. We provide a cash grant. This
Speaker 12: is money that does not need to be repaid. That's
Speaker 12: the first thing that you need to know, and neither
Speaker 12: do you need to report it to your taxes. Now,
Speaker 12: after we get past that part, you simply need to
Speaker 12: submit your application and explain your story. That's the thing
Speaker 12: that you want to do. Of course, we talk about
Speaker 12: repairing and rebuilding your home. We may help with transportation, storage,
Speaker 12: believe it or not. Childcare may even be an issue,
Speaker 12: and if I understand, in the Altadena community, many of
Speaker 12: the child care facilities earned. So those are things that
Speaker 12: you may want to discuss. And there are other categories
Speaker 12: as well that may be useful. Consider this. We can
Speaker 12: help people that may be self employed. That's important if
Speaker 12: you are unable to return to work. There's a disaster
Speaker 12: unemployment insurance assystems that could be made available to you
Speaker 12: as well.
Speaker 4: Okay, so so many options.
Speaker 1: So when you go and you apply for it, just
Speaker 1: make sure you tell them everything that's going on. We've
Speaker 1: talked so many times about how far reaching the devastation
Speaker 1: is that it affects. You know, right after the fires,
Speaker 1: people didn't know where to find a toothbrush, you know,
Speaker 1: But I mean, it affects every aspect of your life,
Speaker 1: and that's where FEMA can can come in and hopefully
Speaker 1: help you.
Speaker 13: There.
Speaker 4: Yeah, where do people apply? Latanga?
Speaker 9: Now?
Speaker 12: There are four options and the reason why this is
Speaker 12: important we have a deadline. So thank you for giving
Speaker 12: us this opportunity to share the information. You can apply
Speaker 12: simply by going using your phone and going to one
Speaker 12: eight hundred six two one three three six two, call
Speaker 12: that number and apply using that number. You can also
Speaker 12: go online to Disaster Assistance dot gov and go there
Speaker 12: complete tr application online. There's a FEMA app. And then finally,
Speaker 12: we have two different disaster recovery centers that are currently
Speaker 12: open and operating. We call them one stop shops because
Speaker 12: not only can you be facilitated and receive resources from
Speaker 12: the federal government, state government is there, county and city.
Speaker 12: Everybody has culminated together to make sure that any resource
Speaker 12: that you may need can be provided in this one place.
Speaker 12: And don't forget we also have debris removal and this.
Speaker 5: Is at no cost.
Speaker 12: And that could be a tedious and just overcoming process.
Speaker 12: The federal government is providing those resources at no cost
Speaker 12: to the homeowners.
Speaker 1: I love that, okay, and We're going to put this
Speaker 1: information on our wake up Call page on the website too,
Speaker 1: So if you missed with Latanga, the numbers and that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, you can go and check out on
Speaker 1: the wake up call page.
Speaker 4: Okay, so go.
Speaker 1: There are some of the deadlines again, because there's a
Speaker 1: couple of them coming up, we want to make sure
Speaker 1: people don't miss them already.
Speaker 12: Again, let's start with a FEMA one. That one is
Speaker 12: going to be on March tenth, and that's going to
Speaker 12: be at eleven fifty nine pm. You've got up until
Speaker 12: that time, so consider using any of those resources that
Speaker 12: we talked about. Along with that, the Disaster Unemployment assistance
Speaker 12: will also end on that date. The Small Business Administration,
Speaker 12: that's a team where most people think that when they
Speaker 12: come in that they can only assist with businesses, but
Speaker 12: the Small Business Administration team can help home owners as well.
Speaker 12: They have really low cost interest rates, very competitive, and
Speaker 12: they have an extenuated repayment plan that can go out
Speaker 12: to at least thirty years. Now, those are the deadlines
Speaker 12: that will end on March tenth. Please learn more about
Speaker 12: these programs and apply.
Speaker 4: Okay, the only thing it's going to cost you the time,
Speaker 4: A little.
Speaker 1: Bit of time is going to help out a lot
Speaker 1: it because as we know, a lot of people still
Speaker 1: need a lot of help, So Disaster Assistance dot gov
Speaker 1: or the FEMA app. And again we'll put this up
Speaker 1: on the wake Up Call page. But go get the information,
Speaker 1: make sure you apply. And if maybe you know somebody
Speaker 1: who might think, oh, I don't know if I qualify
Speaker 1: for assistance, give him a little nudge because they're here
Speaker 1: to help. Latanga Hopes, thank you so much for your
Speaker 1: time and the information. So important that we're getting that
Speaker 1: out because so many people were affected.
Speaker 4: We appreciated a ton.
Speaker 12: Thank you very much for giving us this opportunity.
Speaker 4: How a great day, all right, thank you, Latanga.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The jury in
Speaker 1: the trial of an Orange County judge charged with killing
Speaker 1: his wife as asked for and heard more arguments as
Speaker 1: they worked to break an impass. Each side got about
Speaker 1: ten minutes yesterday to present more of their case. The
Speaker 1: jury has to decide if the shooting in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: three was second degree murder or involuntary manslaughter, or they
Speaker 1: could find Jeffrey Ferguson not guilty. He claims the shooting
Speaker 1: was an accident. Kfi's Michael Monks is following the developments.

Speaker 1: say it looked like they had been dead for a while.
Speaker 1: The sheriff said there were no obvious signs of what
Speaker 1: killed them and that a gas leak had been ruled out.
Speaker 1: The Justice Department is investigating allegations of anti semitism at
Speaker 1: u SEE campuses.
Speaker 14: DOJ officials are looking into whether the college is engaged
Speaker 14: in a pattern of discrimination against Jewish professor's staff and
Speaker 14: other employees. During pro Palestinian demonstrations in twenty twenty four
Speaker 14: over the Israel Lamas War, UCLA experienced moments that law
Speaker 14: enforcement deemed unlawful when the demonstrations turned violent. The DOJ
Speaker 14: is sending a federal task force to ten campuses nationwide
Speaker 14: that have experienced anti Semitic incidents. Andrew Caravella Kafi News Well.
Speaker 1: Police are looking into the theft of a six year
Speaker 1: old boy's pony in Harupa Valley. The family found broken
Speaker 1: fencing and bolt cutters nearby on Friday. That's when they

Speaker 1: the horse back as the boy was just learning to
Speaker 1: ride it. A study from UC San Diego has found
Speaker 1: vaping does not help smokers quit and may even make
Speaker 1: it harder. The research published yesterday looked at thousands of
Speaker 1: smokers and East Sig users. Daily vapors had a four
Speaker 1: point one percent lower quit rate, while occasional vapors had
Speaker 1: a five point three percent lower rate compared to non vapors.
Speaker 1: Researchers say the long term health effects of a being

Speaker 1: about this week to a place that I drive by
Speaker 1: all the time. I've always wanted to go take a tour,
Speaker 1: but have never gone inside. It's the Warner Brothers Studio Tour, Hollywood.
Speaker 1: So we went ahead and went out in about two
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers and we got our tour guide Jim, to
Speaker 1: take us behind the scenes and show us how Hollywood
Speaker 1: makes its magic.
Speaker 4: So, Jim, what are we going to see?
Speaker 2: You'll see everything from where we drew Bugs, Money and
Speaker 2: the road Runner, to where we.
Speaker 3: Filmed James Theing movie East of Eden, to.
Speaker 2: Where we're currently filming George and Mandy's first marriage, Brand
Speaker 2: New show everything in between.
Speaker 3: That's exactly right.
Speaker 4: Which is so cool.
Speaker 1: We've been you go by and in these little carts
Speaker 1: as you take the tour and you show us the
Speaker 1: different sound stages. So what are some of the shows
Speaker 1: that are in production or were in production that we're
Speaker 1: going to recognize?
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: Friends is certainly one of the most popular shows. Gilmour
Speaker 2: Girls is another popular show that all of our guests
Speaker 2: seem to want to hear about, Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon,

Speaker 2: Street where all the famous westerns from Warner Brothers television
Speaker 2: back in the fifties and sixties were film Maverick Wait, this.
Speaker 4: Was a street that was for westerns.
Speaker 3: Yep, yep.
Speaker 2: Hundreds of episodes of westerns were filmed out here.
Speaker 3: Blazing Saddles filmed right on this street.
Speaker 4: No way, this is where Blazing Sattles.
Speaker 2: Was absolutely one of the last major westerns that were
Speaker 2: filmed here. And the need for Westerns kind of abated
Speaker 2: and we've turned it into a Northeastern suburb.
Speaker 4: I love it, okay.
Speaker 1: And then some of the other places that we've kind
Speaker 1: of weaved around in our cart that people are going
Speaker 1: to see.
Speaker 4: Is there is a place? Is it New York Street?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Okay? What are some things that we're going to know
Speaker 4: from New York Street?
Speaker 2: So something As for classic fans, A Star is Born
Speaker 2: with Judy Garland and James Mason, Barbara Streisan and Robert
Speaker 2: Redford filmed a number of scenes on that street from
Speaker 2: where we were.
Speaker 3: From the way we were, it.
Speaker 2: Was Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. It was futuristic Los Angeles,
Speaker 2: which I think in that movie the future was twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five.
Speaker 4: So we're here here today.
Speaker 2: Big Bang Theory filmed out there, and three weeks ago
Speaker 2: we filmed it as a theater in Philadelphia on Abbott Elementary.
Speaker 2: So these sets and facades are used for the past
Speaker 2: seventy five one hundred years, so.
Speaker 1: Not only historical stuff, but stuff that's going on today,
Speaker 1: which is so fun and through the magic of movies,
Speaker 1: they dress up these sets and make them look like
Speaker 1: completely different places, different worlds.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, one of the things you point on the tour
Speaker 2: the Smelly Cat video.
Speaker 3: That's everybody from Friends and Friends.
Speaker 2: As I'm watching that on television, I look in the
Speaker 2: background and I know that that's where the Spider Man
Speaker 2: Upside Down Kiss was filmed. Right, you'll tell on that
Speaker 2: back wall with Toby Maguire and Kristen Doun. So it's
Speaker 2: you know, as you're looking at all of these things,
Speaker 2: Tom Cruise walked along there in the Last Samurai Jet,
Speaker 2: Law danced the jig there in AI. Artificial Intelligence is
Speaker 2: Steven Spielberg film.
Speaker 4: So so there's so much history there. And then not
Speaker 4: only do you take the studio tour where you drive
Speaker 4: around and you go this is this, and this is this,
Speaker 4: and this is that and this will be that, then
Speaker 4: there's also an interactive component to the tour.
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely. You know, we don't operate from a script.
Speaker 2: We take questions from our guests as we're going on
Speaker 2: the tours. Then we've got our Stage forty eight, where
Speaker 2: we've got the sets from Friends and Big Bang Theory
Speaker 2: and costumes from the past where you can take a
Speaker 2: walk and look around, special effects displays where you can
Speaker 2: overlay special effects onto films and.
Speaker 3: See how it's done.
Speaker 2: We have a great short film on how we put
Speaker 2: sound over movies with gravity with George Cloney and Sandra Bullock.
Speaker 2: Just fascinating insights into how movies are made, not only
Speaker 2: where they were made and who was in them, but
Speaker 2: the art of how you make movies from the beginning
Speaker 2: to the end.
Speaker 4: And I'm a total Batman fan.
Speaker 1: And there's a whole area of DC comics and a
Speaker 1: lot of Batman.
Speaker 2: We have three or four different batmobiles in there. I
Speaker 2: think we've got every iteration of the bat suit that
Speaker 2: the different actors wore in and these are.
Speaker 4: The ones that the actors actually wore. This isn't a replica,
Speaker 4: this is what they actually wore in the movies.
Speaker 3: So they're the real ones.
Speaker 4: That's so cool. So when are these tours offered? When
Speaker 4: can people come?
Speaker 3: We're open all year year round.
Speaker 2: From first tour leaves at nine in the morning, last
Speaker 2: tour leaves at four in the afternoon.

Speaker 1: information wbstudiotour dot com. I posted a couple of teaser
Speaker 1: videos on my social on my story and also on
Speaker 1: my reels at amy Kking if you want to check
Speaker 1: those out. And then I've got a video of the
Speaker 1: actual interview. I'm still working out some bugs because I
Speaker 1: had to edit it myself, but that's going to be
Speaker 1: posted in just a little while too at amy K King.
Speaker 1: Also at KF I am six forty would love for
Speaker 1: you to follow me.
Speaker 4: And a fun insider fact.
Speaker 1: After we took the tour, I was watching my favorite
Speaker 1: show Paradise and I went, Wow, that looks familiar, and
Speaker 1: so I reached out to the tour guide and I said,
Speaker 1: is that from Paradise? And they said, yes, Paradise was
Speaker 1: filmed on the Warner Brothers lot.
Speaker 4: Who knew. Pretty cool?
Speaker 1: Huh Again, We're going to be giving away tickets in
Speaker 1: just a minute, so don't go away. But right now
Speaker 1: it's time to get in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Courtney, Good morning Amy. Okay, let's start with
Speaker 1: the crazy week on Wall Street because of tariffs.
Speaker 13: You know what, sometimes they need a drink early, early
Speaker 13: in the morning, and this week really is prompting all
Speaker 13: of that. That's when the box line comes out in
Speaker 13: full force. Because it's definitely been a volatile week here.
Speaker 13: Traders have been focused on the latest developments around tariffs
Speaker 13: what all of that means for the economy. So yesterday
Speaker 13: all three major benchmarks rose more than one percent.
Speaker 4: We had a little bit of a reprieve.
Speaker 13: The Dow gained four hundred eighty six points after the
Speaker 13: President says he's exempting automakers from tariffs for one month.
Speaker 13: Everybody's hoping that would continue. Doesn't seem the case this morning,
Speaker 13: so we are seeing sell off ahead because there.
Speaker 4: Is just so much anxiety around tariffs.
Speaker 13: If the market's open right now, the doubt would be
Speaker 13: down three hundred and seventy points. The S and P
Speaker 13: futures they're looking at a loss of one point one percent.
Speaker 4: Okay, so we'll be watching it.
Speaker 1: You know what is fascinating to me how quickly and
Speaker 1: how much the markets just knee jerk react to this
Speaker 1: kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: It's not like, oh, we'll just head your bets a
Speaker 4: little bit. It's just like wham, because.
Speaker 1: Yesterday it was how it was down four five hundred
Speaker 1: points at some point.
Speaker 8: Hm.
Speaker 15: Well.
Speaker 13: A lot of companies also have been coming out and
Speaker 13: giving a bit of a warning because now they're realizing
Speaker 13: what's going on with their supply chain, and that's adding
Speaker 13: to some of the issues that we're seeing right now.
Speaker 13: For example, shares of Macy's taking a hit this morning,
Speaker 13: so they're joining a parade of retailers in issuing a
Speaker 13: downbeat outlook for sales and profits this year. They say,
Speaker 13: consumer confidence is sinking. We have inflation that we're dealing
Speaker 13: with that consumers and shoppers are dealing with, and the
Speaker 13: new tariffs.
Speaker 4: That's adding a whole uncertain outlook.
Speaker 13: And Victoria's secret also gave a financial forecast for the
Speaker 13: year that fell well short Wall Street expectations and not
Speaker 13: sending their shares lower in the pre market. And it's
Speaker 13: all of this uncertainty that's putting pressure on the consumer
Speaker 13: right now.
Speaker 4: That's what they're saying. But it makes your job lots
Speaker 4: of fun.
Speaker 13: Oh, it keeps me busy every single time. Bloombers is
Speaker 13: a concern for people. You know what we're seeing with
Speaker 13: all these prices for example, I mean Walmart just came
Speaker 13: out and they said they are asking their Chinese suppliers
Speaker 13: to come up with major price cuts. So that's what
Speaker 13: some of the sources are telling us, but only a
Speaker 13: few suppliers have agreed. So we'll see what's going to
Speaker 13: happen there with some of the products you have these companies.
Speaker 1: We will continue to watch Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe getting in
Speaker 1: your business.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much. We'll talk to you again tomorrow,
Speaker 4: talk to you later.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. More
Speaker 1: rain is expected in southern California through today.
Speaker 10: The National Weather Service has the greatest chance for rain
Speaker 10: today will come between noon and six pm. Some places
Speaker 10: could also see thunderstorms before the storm moves out tonight.
Speaker 1: KFI as Mark Mayfield says, the San Bernardino Mountains could
Speaker 1: see between four and twelve inches of snow, depending on
Speaker 1: the elevation. A task Force Sinela Counties released its report
Speaker 1: on how street racing and illegal street takeovers could be stopped.
Speaker 1: Damian Kevitt with Streetser for Everyone says there are far
Speaker 1: reaching consequences for the sometimes deadly races.
Speaker 16: Communities that are affected the mental health issues of having
Speaker 16: street racing night after night in their communities. Even if
Speaker 16: they're not personally impacted, they're impacted by being in that community.
Speaker 1: The task force is recommended more community outreach to deter
Speaker 1: the activity, while also looking for a venue where racing
Speaker 1: can happen legally. There were hundreds of reported violations in
Speaker 1: county in the second half of last year, with the
Speaker 1: most being reported in Compton and Carson Hospitals. Across the USA,
Speaker 1: they see a significant spike in the number of heart
Speaker 1: attacks on the Monday after we spring forward, and that's
Speaker 1: going to be this coming Monday. The switch to daylight
Speaker 1: saving time is Sunday at two am. The reason for
Speaker 1: the increase in heart attacks is a specifically known, but
Speaker 1: experts say the lost hour of sleep plays a big
Speaker 1: role because of the disruption of the body's natural rhythm.
Speaker 1: One way to combat that change, according to researchers, is
Speaker 1: to start going to bed and waking up fifteen minutes
Speaker 1: earlier two to three days before the change. So that'd
Speaker 1: be starting now. Ooh, I inadvertently did it because the
Speaker 1: wind woke me up like fifteen minutes early this morning.
Speaker 4: I'm on track and you nearly had a heart attack because.
Speaker 1: I thought somebody was breaking in. Okay, let's give away
Speaker 1: some tickets. We have a pair of tickets for you
Speaker 1: to go to Warner Brothers Studio Tour Hollywood.
Speaker 4: It's a fabulous way to spend an afternoon.

Speaker 1: The lawsuit claims that witnesses, photos, and videos show the
Speaker 1: fire started directly under Edison transmission lines in Eaton Canyon.

Speaker 1: who have lost their homes their homes were damaged in
Speaker 1: the Pacific Palisades in Altadena. Residents have until March thirty
Speaker 1: first to request having the US Army Corps of Engineer removed
Speaker 1: debris from the property, and residents have until March tenth,
Speaker 1: that's this Monday, to request FEMA assistance. The Department of
Speaker 1: Justice has launched a civil rights investigation into allegations of
Speaker 1: anti Semitism at u See campuses, where pro Palestinian protests
Speaker 1: broke out over the Israel Hamas War. We're just minutes
Speaker 1: away from Handle on the news this morning, and you
Speaker 1: can bet he's got some stuff to say about tariffs.
Speaker 4: Let's say good morning right now. Though.
Speaker 1: Two The Birthday Party Project founder and CEO Paige Lohafer page.
Speaker 1: You're getting ready for the biggest, best birthday party ever.
Speaker 4: Please tell us about it?
Speaker 15: Hey, Amy, Yes, we're so excited to welcome families who
Speaker 15: have been displaced due to the LA wildfires. We will
Speaker 15: be welcoming on them onto the DreamWorks campus this weekend
Speaker 15: to celebrate birthdays. We believe that joy changes lives, and
Speaker 15: we think that in a time that feels probably really uncertain,
Speaker 15: that this is the best time to bring families together
Speaker 15: and to remind them that they are worthy of a celebration.
Speaker 4: Okay, and how did you find these kids page?
Speaker 15: Yes, so, we have great partners with the La County
Speaker 15: YMCA as well as Dream Center. They're the ones right
Speaker 15: now that are on the ground doing the work to
Speaker 15: help families recover from the wildfires. And so because we
Speaker 15: partner with homeless shelters and transitional living facilities to celebrate
Speaker 15: the lives of children who are experiencing homelessness and transition,
Speaker 15: we felt like this was a perfect way to be
Speaker 15: able to reach kids and really hard to reach places
Speaker 15: right now, and so they've come alongside of us to
Speaker 15: ensure that the families that they are supporting get to
Speaker 15: be part of the celebration.
Speaker 4: I love that.
Speaker 1: And then tell us about the party itself. You said
Speaker 1: it's a dream Work so that's going to be cool.
Speaker 12: And can you imagine, no, what's happening?
Speaker 4: Is it this Saturday?
Speaker 15: It's this Saturday. We'll be welcoming in about two hundred
Speaker 15: family members into a larger than life carnival themed bash
Speaker 15: with lots of games and of course fun prizes from
Speaker 15: every dream Works character imaginable. It will be about two
Speaker 15: hours long, just enough time for us to really be
Speaker 15: able to connect with our families, allow the kids to
Speaker 15: run around, eat a lot of sugar, and then let
Speaker 15: them go on their way with their family.
Speaker 9: I love that.
Speaker 1: And you're gonna have some special appearances from Gabby's Dollhouse characters.
Speaker 15: Yes, we are so excited. You know, Gabby just celebrated
Speaker 15: her birthday and so she is sharing it with us
Speaker 15: and with the kids that we get to celebrate this weekend,
Speaker 15: and so Gabby will be there to surprise our birthday
Speaker 15: kids are we are so excited about that.
Speaker 1: And I'm guessing there's going to be lots of photo ops,
Speaker 1: which the kids and the parents are.
Speaker 15: Going to love, don't you know. And one of the
Speaker 15: things that we love about taking photos at our parties
Speaker 15: is that we know that families who are especially right
Speaker 15: now who have been affected by wildfires, most likely most
Speaker 15: of those photos are no longer in their possession. They
Speaker 15: may own some of them on a camera roll on
Speaker 15: their phone, but they don't have physical photos. So every
Speaker 15: single party that we host around the country, but this
Speaker 15: one in particular, we want to make sure that families
Speaker 15: leave with capturing the memories from that moment this weekend.
Speaker 4: Paige, you just made me cry. I mean, I didn't
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 1: That's such a good point because again, these families lost
Speaker 1: absolutely everything.
Speaker 4: And Paige, I want to talk to you a little
Speaker 4: bit about the Birthday Project. Yeah, because this isn't anything new.
Speaker 1: I mean, like you're putting this together and you go, wow,
Speaker 1: that's great, But this is something that you guys do
Speaker 1: all the time.
Speaker 15: We do. We do have the opportunity to partner with
Speaker 15: homeless shelters transitional living facilities in Los Angeles area, but
Speaker 15: actually all around the country, and every single month we
Speaker 15: come in and host birthday parties to celebrate those children
Speaker 15: who are experiencing homelessness. But the best part for us
Speaker 15: is that we invite all the other kids and family
Speaker 15: members who are staying at that agency to participate in
Speaker 15: the party. We believe that we all want to be
Speaker 15: seen and known and celebrated, and we think the best
Speaker 15: way to do that is through a celebration where we
Speaker 15: can all connect and be together.
Speaker 1: Right and what better excuse to throw a big birthday party?
Speaker 1: How are you guys funded? Paige?
Speaker 15: We love when people share their birthday with us, just
Speaker 15: like Gabby is doing this weekend. So people can share
Speaker 15: their birthday with us. We will take donations from any
Speaker 15: individual or any individual or company, but we are funded
Speaker 15: by the power of people from big partners like Oriental
Speaker 15: Trading Company, who is helping us this weekend, to an
Speaker 15: eight year old who recently drops off gifts and gift
Speaker 15: cards to us that he collected at his birthday party.
Speaker 15: We absolutely run base because of the people that are
Speaker 15: around us and say yes to our mission.
Speaker 4: I love that.
Speaker 1: And where can people make a donation if they want to?
Speaker 1: It's their website you can show them to.
Speaker 15: Yeah, thanks Amy, It's the Birthday Party Project dot org.
Speaker 4: The Birthday Party Project dot org.
Speaker 1: So if you want to bring a little joy to
Speaker 1: a child who's missed birthday, celebration because of the wild
Speaker 1: for fires, or because they don't have a home and
Speaker 1: parents might not have the money to throw a party
Speaker 1: for them. You can donate and it's the Birthday Party Project.
Speaker 4: Paige.
Speaker 1: I love what you guys are doing making Saturday a
Speaker 1: very special day for a lot of kids who missed
Speaker 1: out on their birthdays this year of those stupid fires.
