It was Paradise on Hulu, really good. 18 00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:17.799 And then falling back asleep didn't happen. 19 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:18.319 This morning. 20 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.680 The wind woke me up, which was weird because it 21 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.920 hasn't been that windy, but in my neighborhood it was 22 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.000 blowing around and I thought somebody was trying to break 23 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.519 into my back door because it was like rattling the doors. 24 00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:31.680 So I got up early because they couldn't go back 25 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:32.079 to sleep. 26 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.760 Speaking of wind and rain and snow, little Jackie is 27 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.000 on the nest protecting the little eaglets who. 28 00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:43.480 Are apparently doing very well. 29 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.719 We watched them feed several times on the big Bear 30 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:47.560 eagle camera. 31 00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:49.719 You can watch it anytime. 32 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:52.079 It's on my uh it's on my page on the 33 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.719 KFI website kfiam six forty dot com. And then go 34 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.359 to the wake Up Call page and we've got a 35 00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.120 link to it where you can see it. And man, 36 00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.840 the wind is blowing. You could see the nest, but 37 00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:04.920 she's protecting them, keeping them nice and warm. 38 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.919 Birds get seasick, well, if they do, they. 39 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:13.240 Probably are now because that nest is blowing. Here's what's 40 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.960 ahead on wake Up Call. The rain moving through the 41 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.360 Southland is not packing much of a punch. The National 42 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.120 Weather Services Andrew Rourke says a third to a half 43 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:24.800 of an inch of rain is expected, but no flooding 44 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.199 is expected. Rourke says there are concerns about mud and 45 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.919 debris flows in the wildfire burn scars, but this, in 46 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:34.960 his words, isn't much of a storm. Another potentially more 47 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.240 powerful storm was going to move through next week, so 48 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.719 cal Edison's been sued by La County and the cities 49 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:43.039 of Pasadena and Sierra Madre. They're claiming the utilities transmission 50 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.080 lines sparked the wildfire that destroyed more than nine thousand 51 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:48.879 homes in January. The Big three automakers have been given 52 00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:53.599 a month to a one month exemption from tariffs on 53 00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.879 goods from Canada and Mexico. Press Secretary Caroline Levitt says 54 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.280 reciprocal tariffs will still go into effect April second. Now 55 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.039 break in the tariffs since stock storing, So we're going 56 00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.520 to talk to ABC's Karen Travers in just a couple 57 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.000 of minutes about that and then also what's in store 58 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.719 for stocks today when we get in your business with 59 00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:14.840 Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho. That's at five point forty wake up 60 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.039 call went out and about to go behind the scenes 61 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.000 in Hollywood, and we've got some tickets for you to 62 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:22.560 go check it out too, So keep your phone close. 63 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.439 We've got out and about coming up at five point 64 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.199 thirty five. There's a lot of assistance out there for 65 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.199 fire victims, but not for much longer. We're going to 66 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.800 be talking with FEMA this morning about what is available, 67 00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.400 who is eligible, and the deadlines that are coming up 68 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.039 very quickly. That is at five twenty, and then at 69 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:40.360 five point fifty, we're going to tell you about a 70 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:44.159 birthday party this weekend that is being thrown for a 71 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:47.199 couple hundred kids who didn't get to celebrate their birthdays 72 00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.000 because of the wildfires. 73 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:50.039 Pretty special stuff. 74 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.560 Let's get started with some of the stories coming out 75 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.280 of the KFI twenty four our newsroom. RAY means potentially 76 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.400 dangerous driving conditions. Caltrand says it is monitoring the roads 77 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.039 and warning drive to use some basic safety tips before 78 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:02.479 they travel. 79 00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:06.400 They avoid flooded areas and padding an extra time to 80 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:07.680 to your trip expecting to lave. 81 00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:12.439 Cal trans Nathan Bass says they will also be keeping 82 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:14.960 a close eye on the Grapevine where it is expected 83 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:15.360 to snow. 84 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:17.680 We'll be preparing the road there with a mixture of 85 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:21.360 sand and ash to help melt and provide trash on 86 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:21.720 the road. 87 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:22.600 He says. 88 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:25.399 The bottom line is stay off the roads if you 89 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:29.079 can when the weather is really bad. LA Mayor, Bass 90 00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.360 and fire recovery leaders are expected to make what they're 91 00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.959 calling an important announcement for residents of the Palisades. They're 92 00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:37.800 also expected to highlight progress made to speed up the 93 00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:41.000 rebuilding process and get people back home. CAFI is going 94 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.439 to be monitoring and we'll bring you the latest. So 95 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.279 Cal Edison has been sued by La County and two 96 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.399 cities over one of the big fires in January. 97 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.079 Lawsuits brought by the county and the cities of Sierra 98 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:54.319 Madre and Pasadena blame the utility for the destructive et 99 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.439 and fire. In separate suits, the local governments say there 100 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.040 is compelling evidence that the fire was started at the 101 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.319 site of SoCal Edison equipment. The utility has stated publicly 102 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.759 before that it is investigating, but it could take months 103 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.600 to know whether SoCal Edison equipment was the cause. The 104 00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.040 lawsuits brought by the county and the city seek to 105 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:15.160 recover costs associated with the response and recovery. Michael Monks 106 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:16.480 KFI News. 107 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:21.240 Attention all seniors, this is Steve Carrell with a very 108 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:22.160 special announcement. 109 00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:26.879 Corell posted a video online. It was directed at students 110 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.439 who were affected by the wildfire in Altadena. He says 111 00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.439 he has partnered with a charity called Alice's Kids to 112 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:34.560 pay for their prom tickets, and if you have. 113 00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:37.600 Already paid for your prom tickets, they will reimburse you 114 00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:38.920 for your prom tickets. 115 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:41.120 It's a pretty good deal. 116 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:42.759 He's so funny. 117 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.360 The organization is donating about one hundred and seventy five 118 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:48.519 thousand dollars to seniors at six high schools in Altadena. 119 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.639 Alice's Kids says it wanted to erase the worry of 120 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.360 paying for tickets, knowing the financial pressure many families are 121 00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:59.879 going through. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Karen Travers. Karen, 122 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.399 bit of a reprieve when it comes to tariffs. What 123 00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:03.920 is off the table for now? 124 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:09.360 Yeah, the big three automakers Ford, Stilantis, and GM got 125 00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.759 a temporary reprieve from the twenty five percent terraffs on 126 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:15.720 products coming into the US from Mexico and Canada. The 127 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.319 CEOs of these companies called the President, made a personal 128 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.319 sales pitch, and the President agreed to pause the tariffs 129 00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.519 for a month on cars and parts coming into the US. 130 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:27.920 These companies are applauding this. The stock market liked it 131 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.920 yesterday too, and rallied yesterday on the news and they're 132 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:34.920 saying that the delay will help the American automotive sector thrive. 133 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:38.120 The White House has been very clear this is not permanent, 134 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.560 This is a short term fix. They want these companies 135 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.319 to shift their production to the US. Katie Vance said 136 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:45.519 yesterday that the way to avoid terriffs is to have 137 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:49.000 your factory and facility here in the US. That's hard 138 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:51.040 to do in a month. I mean, you imagine trying 139 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:52.800 to start a business in a month. Imagine trying to 140 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:55.439 start a car plant in a month. So really they're 141 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:57.240 not going to be able to do that, but it 142 00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.639 does give them some breathing room to stock up on 143 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:03.480 parts that they would be getting from those countries and 144 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.399 as they're making cars now over the next month. You know, 145 00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.680 cars go back and forth across the border, some of 146 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.759 them do as they're being made. The production lines are 147 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:16.360 across the border. If that were happening with the tariffs 148 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.120 in place, every time they went across they would be 149 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.800 subjected to tariffs, so that cost would go up, and 150 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:24.519 experts say, you know that that would potentially raise the 151 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.120 cost of a car by thousands of dollars, maybe for 152 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.360 a new car three thousand dollars on average. So this 153 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.439 pause doesn't mean that, you know, the cars that are 154 00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.639 in production now for the next month won't be subjected 155 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.000 to that. But at the end of the month, we're 156 00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:38.199 not sure them what's going to happen. 157 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:40.600 Yeah, and I think it seems like it would get 158 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:43.879 very confusing with some on, some off and kind of 159 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.399 keeping track of that. And like you said, every time 160 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:48.040 it goes across the border, there's a tariff, and then 161 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:49.959 it goes back south. Yeah, and there's a tiff, and 162 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:51.680 then it goes back north and there's a terriff. 163 00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:54.959 Very complex, and you know, you think the other big 164 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.199 question now too is who else is going to ask 165 00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:57.879 for exemption? 166 00:07:58.040 --> 00:07:58.160 Right? 167 00:07:58.199 --> 00:07:59.920 You know, you can imagine the phone at the White 168 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.240 House ringing off the hook of like, well, if they 169 00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:05.240 got it, what about us? And yesterday my colleague Rachel 170 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.319 Scott asked the White House if there would be a 171 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:11.399 consideration of an exemption for eggs imported from Canada. Prices 172 00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:13.759 of eggs have gone up, there are shortages right now 173 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.360 and last year we imported forty three million dollars of 174 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.000 eggs from Canada. Carolin Lembet, the Press Secretary, wouldn't commit 175 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:23.480 to anything specific, wouldn't talk about specific sectors that could 176 00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:26.120 get exemptions, but did say, the President is open to 177 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:30.439 hearing about additional exemptions. Basically, the phone lines are open, 178 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.000 so I think if you're a CEO or you're running 179 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.159 a business or something, you know, give a call see 180 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:36.039 if you can get one too. 181 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:40.679 And a lot of people are worried about food.

Thank you so much for 320 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:46.639 coming on today. We wanted to have you on because 321 00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:50.720 we know that FEMA is helping so many people in 322 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:54.799 southern California whose homes were either lost or damaged by 323 00:15:54.840 --> 00:16:00.440 the fires. And there are some important deadlines approaching. First 324 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.320 of all, let's talk about who can apply for this 325 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:06.159 assistance in case somebody might be listening and they didn't 326 00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:07.879 realize that they still qualify. 327 00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:12.360 Alrighty, let's start with homeowners. Those are people with and 328 00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:17.919 without insurance, renters, and even independent students. And I'd also 329 00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:20.879 like to add an asterisk if your home is still 330 00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:24.120 standing and it did not burn to the ground, if 331 00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:27.960 you live within La County and was impacted by the fire, 332 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:30.120 you too should also apply. 333 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:34.200 Okay, Yeah, we have somebody who works here, Tuala. He 334 00:16:34.320 --> 00:16:38.360 works in the evenings with mo Kelly. His hell home 335 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:41.559 made it through the fires, but it's uninhabitable because there 336 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:43.480 was so much damage from all the smoke. 337 00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:46.879 And what we're finding is that there's been some people 338 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:51.639 that have self excluded themselves and interpreted our outreach to 339 00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:54.679 me that if your house burned down, that you should apply. 340 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:59.000 Anybody that was impacted by this fire, under any circumstances 341 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:00.000 should apply. 342 00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:00.840 Okay. 343 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:01.120 Good. 344 00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:03.919 Good to know, Latanga, And what kind of assistance does 345 00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:06.680 FEMA offer. Is it just money or is that other 346 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:08.319 physical assistance as well? 347 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:12.799 Now we have an array of types of assistance that 348 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:16.359 we can help with. We provide a cash grant. This 349 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.480 is money that does not need to be repaid. That's 350 00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:21.960 the first thing that you need to know, and neither 351 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:24.799 do you need to report it to your taxes. Now, 352 00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:26.960 after we get past that part, you simply need to 353 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:32.240 submit your application and explain your story. That's the thing 354 00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:35.160 that you want to do. Of course, we talk about 355 00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:40.880 repairing and rebuilding your home. We may help with transportation, storage, 356 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:44.920 believe it or not. Childcare may even be an issue, 357 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.720 and if I understand, in the Altadena community, many of 358 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:53.559 the child care facilities earned. So those are things that 359 00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:56.680 you may want to discuss. And there are other categories 360 00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:01.279 as well that may be useful. Consider this. We can 361 00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:06.680 help people that may be self employed. That's important if 362 00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:10.440 you are unable to return to work.
