Speaker 3: I understand that these are children, but they're doing really

Speaker 1: Pully say it is possible the teens could be linked
Speaker 1: to other similar crimes. The homeless man accused of chopping
Speaker 1: down a bunch of trees around LA's been charged with

Speaker 5: first president to do so as president.
Speaker 3: More than six hundred thousand Armenians have been estimated to
Speaker 3: have been killed by the Ottoman Empire during World War One.
Speaker 3: Critics say Trump won't use the word genocide because of
Speaker 3: pressure from Turkey. Michael Monks KFI news.
Speaker 1: Memorial mass for Pope Francis is being held at the
Speaker 1: Canee of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown La.
Speaker 1: It set to start just afternoon today. LA Archbishop Jose
Speaker 1: Gomez says the service will be as he put it
Speaker 1: in thanksgiving for the life and Ministry of Pope Francis.
Speaker 1: The mass is being held a day before the Pope's
Speaker 1: funeral in Rome. Pope Francis died early Monday. He was
Speaker 1: eighty eight. It's five seven on your Friday morning wake
Speaker 1: up call. Let's say good morning to ABC's Karen Travers
Speaker 1: at the White House. Karen, President Trump says he's got
Speaker 1: a deadline to get a peace deal done between Ukraine
Speaker 1: and Russia.
Speaker 2: But did he say when it is?
Speaker 6: No, He just said fast. He did not say the deadline.
Speaker 6: I mean remember this as a president who when he
Speaker 6: was a candidate said that he could end the war
Speaker 6: between Russia and Ukraine on day one. Next week, of course,
Speaker 6: is one hundred days for this administration. And these attacks
Speaker 6: by Russia, especially this week on Ukraine, have been unrelenting.
Speaker 6: There was the attack on Kiev earlier this week, two
Speaker 6: days ago, was one of the deadliest attacks on the
Speaker 6: capitol in months. It even prompted President on social media
Speaker 6: yesterday to say, Vladimir stop. He was asked about that
Speaker 6: in the Oval Office yesterday about his level of frustration
Speaker 6: at this point with Putin, and the President said, I
Speaker 6: didn't like last night. I wasn't happy with it. We're
Speaker 6: in the midst of talking peace and missiles were fired, okay.
Speaker 1: And then to reach some sort of a deal, there's
Speaker 1: going to be some give. Do we have any idea
Speaker 1: or inkling of what the give is and who's going
Speaker 1: to have to give more?
Speaker 6: I mean, Ukraine has said we will negotiate, we will
Speaker 6: not surrender. And the proposal put on the table about
Speaker 6: the Trump administration has them giving up land that Russia
Speaker 6: has seized since the invasion, but also giving up Crimea.
Speaker 6: They have rejected this current proposal. It's notable because during
Speaker 6: Trump's first term, his administration had said that Crimea would
Speaker 6: remain part of Ukraine. Senator or excuse me, Secretary of
Speaker 6: State Mark or Rubio back when he was a senator,
Speaker 6: I had talked about the Dame injurer of letting Russia
Speaker 6: keep Crimea. So it's a notable shift as the administration
Speaker 6: now is really pushing hard to get this to a
Speaker 6: peace agreement.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: And then before we let you go there, there was
Speaker 1: also some talk about China because Trump is saying, hey,
Speaker 1: things are going good, We're progressing in China's gone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not even talking.
Speaker 6: Yeah, for the second day in a row. China publicly,
Speaker 6: on the record, has said there are no negotiations right
Speaker 6: now on tariffs, and the statement today was that the
Speaker 6: United States should not confuse the public. Yesterday they said
Speaker 6: it was fake news when the President said that there
Speaker 6: were active negotiations and conversations happening. The President was asked
Speaker 6: about this yesterday. He claimed that there was a meeting
Speaker 6: between the US and China yesterday, but he did not
Speaker 6: give details. We asked the White House repeatedly about this yesterday.
Speaker 6: They also did not give details.
Speaker 1: So it sounds like he's saying that there's some secret
Speaker 1: kind of back room talks going on that China's not
Speaker 1: acknowledging publicly, and whether that's happening or not, we don't know.
Speaker 6: And China is on the record with government spokesman saying
Speaker 6: this is just not true. We are not talking right now.
Speaker 1: All right, ABC's Karen Travers at the White House. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much, have a great weekend.
Speaker 6: Thank you great.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four our newsroom. A
Speaker 1: federal judge says President Trump's executive order on sanctuary cities
Speaker 1: appears to be unconstitutional.
Speaker 7: District Judge William Oric blocked the White House from enforcing
Speaker 7: the crackdown on sixteen cities and counties that brought a lawsuit.
Speaker 7: The order directed Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security
Speaker 7: Secretary Christine Nome to deny sanctuary cities access to federal funds.
Speaker 7: The Obama appointed judge said the order similar to one
Speaker 7: issued in Trump's first term, which was also invalidated by Oric.
Speaker 7: The ruling bars the administration from enforcing the order against
Speaker 7: various regions in California, King County, Washington, Minneapolis, New Haven, Portland,
Speaker 7: Saint Paul, Santa Fe and Seattle. Mark ronnor KFI News.
Speaker 1: And that wasn't the only setback the administration got yesterday
Speaker 1: from the courts. A federal judge in New York blocked
Speaker 1: the Trump administration from immediately enacting certain changes to how
Speaker 1: federal elections are run, including adding a proof of citizenship requirement.
Speaker 1: The judge yesterday said the Constitution gives the power to
Speaker 1: regulate federal elections to states and to Congress, not the president.
Speaker 1: Trump says a proof of citizens citizenship requirement is needed
Speaker 1: to restore public confidence in elections. The judge did allow
Speaker 1: parts of Trump's election order to stand, including a directive
Speaker 1: to Titan mail in ballot deadlines. A judge's ruled prosecutors
Speaker 1: can pursue the death penalty against Brian Coburger if he's
Speaker 1: convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students that happened
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. This comes despite Coburger's recent diagnosis
Speaker 1: of autism. His attorneys had asked the judge to remove
Speaker 1: the death penalty as a possible punishment, saying the autism
Speaker 1: reduces Coburger's culpability and exposes him to unacceptable risk that
Speaker 1: he'll be wrongfully convicted.
Speaker 2: Trial is set to begin in August. Investigators in Florida
Speaker 2: saying an ongoing family fight led to a fatal shooting
Speaker 2: at a car dealership in Miami Dade.

Speaker 1: area just outside Moscow. The investigative committee did not say
Speaker 1: who is believed to be responsible. Filmmaker Ryan Kugler has
Speaker 1: Hollywood executives a little nervous because of his latest hit movie.
Speaker 8: The horror movie Sinners starring Michael B. Jordan, debuted number
Speaker 8: one of the box office last weekend. But it's the
Speaker 8: deal Coogler cut with Warner Brothers that some say could
Speaker 8: be the beginning of the end of the studio system.
Speaker 8: The studio gave Coogler, who wrote and directed Sinner and
Speaker 8: was also behind Black Panther in Creed, ownership of Sinners
Speaker 8: after twenty five years, meeting no residual money for the
Speaker 8: studios at that point. Coogler, who's only made five films,
Speaker 8: but is already one of the fifty highest grossing directors
Speaker 8: of all time. Says the deal to own Sinners was
Speaker 8: for personal reasons and he won't look for ownership of
Speaker 8: future stuff. Michael Krozer kf I News.
Speaker 1: A woman in Florida has been accused of pretending to
Speaker 1: be an immigration agent so she could kidnap her ex
Speaker 1: boyfriend's wife from her job. The Bay County Sheriff's Office
Speaker 1: says the woman was wearing a black T shirt with
Speaker 1: ice printed on the front when she went to the
Speaker 1: wife's work place a couple of weeks ago. She had
Speaker 1: a handheld radio, flashed a sheriff's office business card, and
Speaker 1: told the woman she had to leave with her. The
Speaker 1: woman did, but was eventually able to get away and
Speaker 1: called police. When we come back, we're going to work.
Speaker 1: But you know what, we don't really care. ABC's Jim
Speaker 1: Ryan's going to explain that's coming up in just a

Speaker 1: Let's not stop the conversation. Let's keep it going and
Speaker 1: say good morning too. ABC's Jim Ryan.
Speaker 2: So, Jim, we're all here, we're at work. But you
Speaker 2: know what, we don't care.
Speaker 10: That's by and large it. Yeah, that's what Gallup has found.
Speaker 11: What is that?
Speaker 10: Yeah, they're not feeling engaged, and you try to put
Speaker 10: something like emotions into something objective like numbers and then
Speaker 10: plot that on a map. And that's what Gallup has
Speaker 10: tried to do, asking folks around the world, not just
Speaker 10: in the US, but around the world, how they feel
Speaker 10: about their jobs. Do they feel that what they're doing
Speaker 10: is important, that it matters, that they're making a difference,
Speaker 10: or do they feel kind of out of it and
Speaker 10: you know, checked out, wanted to go home and then
Speaker 10: you know, drink their sorrows away. Who knows. But yeah, So,
Speaker 10: for only the second time since two thousand and nine,
Speaker 10: that's when Gallup started putting this global employee Engagement chart together.
Speaker 10: Since only for only the second time, the number has
Speaker 10: gone down, So workers are feeling less engaged than they
Speaker 10: did just a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: So, Jim, when you say they feel less engaged, does
Speaker 1: that make I mean, is it what I just said?
Speaker 2: It's like people are there, but they don't care.
Speaker 1: They're just sort of like going through the motions but
Speaker 1: not really emotionally invested in it or anything exactly.
Speaker 10: And those folks are disengaged. The ones who are actively
Speaker 10: disengaged are the ones who vocally can't stand their jobs
Speaker 10: or they're looking to get out, they're trying to find
Speaker 10: something else, And I mean those are the folks who
Speaker 10: are hardcore just upset with their work environmental together. The
Speaker 10: others are just sort of blah. They go, they check in,
Speaker 10: they do their thing, and they go home. And there
Speaker 10: is a price to pay for that.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 10: Some companies might say, fine, I don't know, it really
Speaker 10: doesn't matter how you feel, long as you do your
Speaker 10: job and get it done and go home. But disengagement,
Speaker 10: I mean the sense of not being involved or having
Speaker 10: some importance. It's costing the world economy four hundred and
Speaker 10: thirty eight billion dollars in lost productivity worldwide according to Gallop.
Speaker 1: Wow, you know I was going to ask you, does
Speaker 1: it translate to work productivity directly?
Speaker 10: Sure?
Speaker 2: And they can see.
Speaker 10: That absolutely, and it's I'm sure. There are all sorts
Speaker 10: of formulas that Gallup uses to quantify this. Take something
Speaker 10: touchy feelia like I don't feel great about my job
Speaker 10: into how much is it costing the company? But the
Speaker 10: suffice to say that employers are managers or a company heads.
Speaker 10: The CEOs who are interested in the productivity of the
Speaker 10: company should also be interested in the engagement of their workers.
Speaker 10: And a lot of it comes down to managers According
Speaker 10: to Gallup, people don't feel you know, the managers are
Speaker 10: caught in the middle, and they have been for at
Speaker 10: least the last few years. They're supervisors are kind of disengaged,
Speaker 10: their workers are disengaged, and the managers are right there
Speaker 10: in the middle.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, and you know how they say, it kind of
Speaker 1: trickles down too. I mean, if you have a great
Speaker 1: manager and they're able to fire you up and get
Speaker 1: you go in, I think that that has, you know,
Speaker 1: goes a long way one.
Speaker 10: Hundred percent, and training managers in that direction, getting them
Speaker 10: to to not just know how to do the job
Speaker 10: that their workers are doing, but also how to manage
Speaker 10: those people. That's the thing that, according to Gallup, is
Speaker 10: going to help to turn these numbers around in the future.
Speaker 10: And as sorrow, you know, as bad as things are
Speaker 10: in this country with only thirty two percent of the
Speaker 10: population really engage in their jobs, it's worse in other
Speaker 10: parts of the world, much worse in other probably. I mean,
Speaker 10: look at France. You know we talk about how you know,
Speaker 10: French people get all sorts of time off. Well, eight
Speaker 10: percent of those folks are engaged.
Speaker 2: Eight percent, yeah.
Speaker 10: Eight percent, compared to our thirty two percent. So, while
Speaker 10: one in three of us are feeling engaged and good
Speaker 10: about our work, under one in ten in France feel
Speaker 10: good about their work.
Speaker 1: Okay, and our employers doing anything to try to get
Speaker 1: workers to re engage or do they just kind of
Speaker 1: not care?
Speaker 10: No, Some are, especially in the United States and in
Speaker 10: Europe come andanies are taking on this challenge and they're
Speaker 10: trying to put best practices into place to ensure that
Speaker 10: managers are well trained there, that they have the tools
Speaker 10: and the assets they need to to help their work
Speaker 10: without And it doesn't have to cost a lot of money.
Speaker 10: It's as simple as training your managers to help recognize
Speaker 10: performance of their workers. You know, managers who who make
Speaker 10: their employees feel good about their jobs will themselves feel
Speaker 10: good about their jobs.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'm going to continue to care. I'm
Speaker 1: the one, I'm the thirty two percent.
Speaker 10: I used there was a photographer worked for a channel
Speaker 10: for a TV station here in Dallas for worth and
Speaker 10: you had a sticker on the side of his camera
Speaker 10: back in the day, and it said give them quality

Speaker 1: fifties to mid sixties. And then for Sunday, partly cloudy
Speaker 1: with highs in the loadamid's sixties. Not quite spring like,
Speaker 1: is it.
Speaker 9: You're listening to a wake up call on demand from
Speaker 9: KFI Am six forty.
Speaker 1: Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 1: The man charged with felony vandals and for cutting down
Speaker 1: trees around downtown La with a chainsaw. It's going to
Speaker 1: cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars. The La
Speaker 1: County DA's office said it'll cost the city three hundred
Speaker 1: and forty seven thousand dollars to replace the at least
Speaker 1: eight trees Samuel Groft cut down between April fourteenth and nineteenth.
Speaker 2: It was all caught on.
Speaker 1: Video Catholics around La Not all of it was caught
Speaker 1: on videos. Some of it was caught on video. Catholics
Speaker 1: around La will gather to honor the late Pope Francis
Speaker 1: at a memorial mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady
Speaker 1: of the Angels. Archbishop Jose Gomez will lead the mass
Speaker 1: around noontime today to bid a final farewell to the
Speaker 1: Pope from Los Angeles. Fewer than eighteen percent of Californians
Speaker 1: earned enough last year to buy a median priced home
Speaker 1: in the state. The Census Bureau shows the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: three home ownership rate for Californians was just under fifty
Speaker 1: six percent. The median price for a home in the
Speaker 1: state eight hundred and sixty five thousand dollars. In La County,
Speaker 1: it's nine hundred nineteen thousand. It's one point two million.
Speaker 1: That's the median price in Orange County at six oh five.
Speaker 1: It's handle on the news just about a half hour
Speaker 1: away now. Trump says his people are talking with China.
Speaker 1: China says that's fake news. We'll see what Bill has
Speaker 1: to say about that.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So if you're looking for a job, you know how
Speaker 1: Jim Ryan and I were just talking about how people
Speaker 1: are like kind of phoning it in.
Speaker 2: They're going to the jobs, but they just don't care.
Speaker 1: But if you're like passionate about Hollywood and you like people,
Speaker 1: we might have found the perfect job for you. And
Speaker 1: that's at Universal Studios. They're looking for tour guides. And
Speaker 1: I will tell you when I first moved to to La,
Speaker 1: like everybody I met had been a Universal Studios tour guide.
Speaker 2: At some point they're.
Speaker 1: Like, oh yeah, I used to do that and then
Speaker 1: and they had these lifelong friendships from people that they
Speaker 1: met doing it and stuff, And I was like, that
Speaker 1: sounds like really fun. People have lots of like industrial
Speaker 1: knowledge and like to share fun facts in trivia. When
Speaker 1: we went on our Warner Brothers Studio tour, Producer ran
Speaker 1: and I went, I don't know about a month or
Speaker 1: two ago, and it was the same thing, like the
Speaker 1: guy who was taking us around just had all these
Speaker 1: facts about all these movies and TV shows and how
Speaker 1: things are made and who did what and where they
Speaker 1: were And as a kind of a fan of Hollywood
Speaker 1: and movies and TV, I thought it was just fascinating.
Speaker 1: So if that's you, this might be your chance. They're
Speaker 1: doing open auditions. They're already underway, but they're going all
Speaker 1: the way through May fourteenth. Open call auditions for new
Speaker 1: guides for the Studio Tour. Stay from a statement from
Speaker 1: Universal says Studio Tour guides roles are desirable positions. They
Speaker 1: require many adaptable skills and are teaming with a host
Speaker 1: of opportunities. This is how you apply. You put together
Speaker 1: a self taped audition, introduce yourself if you have any
Speaker 1: relevant experience, whether you know public speaking, customer engagement. Basically,
Speaker 1: if you're a ham, it's a good thing. Also read
Speaker 1: a passage from the official tour script so they can
Speaker 1: hear what you sound like. When you're doing your Universal
Speaker 1: Studios pitch, you can get the details at USh jobs,
Speaker 1: Universal Studios Hollywood.
Speaker 2: That's what the USh is. USh jobs dot Com.
Speaker 1: A casting team will then review the online submissions and
Speaker 1: then reach out to you if you make it to
Speaker 1: the next step in the hiring process. I think it
Speaker 1: would be fun. I know a couple people who I
Speaker 1: think should be tour guides.
Speaker 2: It'd be nice. It'd be a fun job, though, and
Speaker 2: you get to ride around on the trams all day.
Speaker 2: Gotta love that. Do we have Courtney with us? We do?
Speaker 1: Then let's get into our business. Let's get in your
Speaker 1: business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe, Morning, Courtney.
Speaker 2: Happy Friday. We made it. We did always a while
Speaker 2: week here in the markets. Well we almost made it.
Speaker 2: Not quite yet, all right.
Speaker 14: Oh, I'm stay positive. I'm staying positive. Okay, Well, then
Speaker 14: you're the markets.
Speaker 1: Aren't talk about the markets first, because we had another
Speaker 1: pretty strong day yesterday, three days of games on Wall Street.
Speaker 2: But today's not looking so good.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it looks like we're on shaky ground this morning.
Speaker 14: And one of the reasons is Intel. So Intel says
Speaker 14: it's bureaucratic culture needs a shakeup, so job cuts are
Speaker 14: on the way, layers of management will be removed, and
Speaker 14: they're forcing everyone back to the office. Intel's also warning
Speaker 14: that a terra fuel recession could torpedo Chip demand. So
Speaker 14: this grim outlook is sending shares sliding this Friday, and
Speaker 14: that's put this three day rebound for stocks out of
Speaker 14: the picture today, but we have seen over the past
Speaker 14: three days some optimism on Wall Street. It was driven
Speaker 14: by the prospect of trade deals we've been hearing headlines
Speaker 14: about that. Also hopes that the Federal Reserve will cut
Speaker 14: interest rates to prevent a recession. But Intel seems to
Speaker 14: be overshadowing.
Speaker 10: All of that.
Speaker 14: Today dal features are down one hundred and thirty points.
Speaker 2: But yesterday he said it was a good day.
Speaker 14: The Dow rose four hundred and eighty seven points, with
Speaker 14: the markets expecting a quarter point interest rate cut from
Speaker 14: the Federal Reserve in June to try to prevent this recession.
Speaker 1: Okay, so then here's my question for you, Courtney, because
Speaker 1: yesterday when we talked, the futures were pretty they were
Speaker 1: down a couple hundred points, but then we ended up
Speaker 1: having a really good day.
Speaker 10: What happened?
Speaker 14: Yeah, So what was happening is traders were actually saying, well,
Speaker 14: all of this bad news that we're getting is kind
Speaker 14: of good news because that means the Federal Reserve will
Speaker 14: have to step in at some point to try to
Speaker 14: stop what's going on right now. So anytime we see
Speaker 14: bad news, bad headlines, bad economic data, sometimes that moves
Speaker 14: the market in the opposite direction of what you think,
Speaker 14: because that's the point where the Federal Reserve is going
Speaker 14: to say, well, maybe we should take a look at
Speaker 14: this a little bit further and see what we can
Speaker 14: do to try to prevent any more of an economic
Speaker 14: downturn from happening.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll be watching. Okay, so let's get in McDonald's business.
Speaker 1: They're adding something to the menu for the first time
Speaker 1: in four years.
Speaker 14: So McDonald says they've been listening to us and diners
Speaker 14: have been asking for more chickens, so they're rolling out
Speaker 14: this chicken mccrispy strips next month. So this is the
Speaker 14: first new permanent menu item in four years.
Speaker 2: But this is important.
Speaker 14: This can mean that the snack wrap, which is a
Speaker 14: huge fan favorite. I love this jack, well, that may
Speaker 14: be it could be coming back soon. And we know
Speaker 14: it was discontinued close to a decade ago. But McDonald's
Speaker 14: dropped a clue at the end of the press release
Speaker 14: for the strips, saying, quote and that's a wrap at
Speaker 14: least for now. So everybody's going, yeah, this might happen,
Speaker 14: but we're going to find the mccrispy strips and all
Speaker 14: of the restaurants coming up on May fifth. And I
Speaker 14: also want to quickly mention because this is a California
Speaker 14: fast food story and this has.
Speaker 9: Crossed this week.
Speaker 14: Jack in the Box is possibly looking to sell Del Taco,
Speaker 14: so it acquired the chain in twenty twenty two, and
Speaker 14: sources are telling us Del Taco could be valued at
Speaker 14: as much as two hundred million dollars in a sale.
Speaker 1: I love a good Del Taco, Okay. So then we
Speaker 1: go from chicken. Which came first? Chicken or the egg?
Speaker 1: Who knows, but let's talk about egg prices, and it's
Speaker 1: what people are doing.
Speaker 2: Well, this is funny.
Speaker 14: The surgeon egg prices is pushing so many folks to
Speaker 14: try their hands at raising a chicken flock of their own.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I could do that.
Speaker 1: I has one, she's got a bunch of them, and
Speaker 1: they crank out the eggs.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's awesome.
Speaker 14: But we were talking to animal feed and farm equipment
Speaker 14: retailer Tractor Supply. They're very big in the rural communities
Speaker 14: and they said that they expect to sell a record
Speaker 14: amount of chicks this year, So around a million households
Speaker 14: own backyard chickens. That's up twenty eight percent from just
Speaker 14: two years ago. But Tractor Supply says one chicken can
Speaker 14: eat over seventy five pounds of feet a year.
Speaker 2: So this is a big warning.
Speaker 14: If you're going out there and you're gonna buy one.
Speaker 1: You're cost of buying the feed, your cost benefit analysis,
Speaker 1: You need to check that out.
Speaker 14: Yeah, but Tractor Supply says that's good because it keeps
Speaker 14: bringing customers right back in to the store.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Okay, So why are parents mad at Costco?
Speaker 14: Well, they switched the company that manufactures their Kirkland signature diapers.
Speaker 14: So parents say the new diapers are paper thin and
Speaker 14: that's leading to leaks. So Costco's out there they say,
Speaker 14: we don't plan to change suppliers. But they did suggest
Speaker 14: as a solution that parents let the diapers sit out
Speaker 14: overnight so they can expand.
Speaker 2: But I'm not sure how much that's gonna work as
Speaker 2: a parent of two kids.
Speaker 1: And that's not only parents, it's new parents who are
Speaker 1: dealing with diapers and they're already stressed out because they
Speaker 1: have a little one not sleeping through the night exactly.
Speaker 14: Bringing back the pins and the old way of doing things.
Speaker 2: Hey, when I was a kid.
Speaker 1: I got to fold diapers every day because my baby
Speaker 1: brother I was like seven and we had cloth diapersow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's hard. It's really hard. All right, Thanks
Speaker 2: for getting in your business. It's Bloomberg's Courtney.
Speaker 1: Donaho.
Speaker 2: Have a great weekend. We'll talk to you Monday. You too,
Speaker 2: enjoy yourself.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Thirty
Speaker 1: one year old former Orange County residents been sends to
Speaker 1: seven years in prison for taking a half million dollars
Speaker 1: in illegal kick packs from sober living homes in exchange

Speaker 1: Moore received payoffs after the facilities build patients private health
Speaker 1: insurance plans. A grieving family wants a new pedestrian safety
Speaker 1: upgrades in Torrance.
Speaker 13: You took him from a family. You know we're hurting
Speaker 13: the family of thirty eight year old Carls Gonzalez wants
Speaker 13: change after he was killed in a hit and run
Speaker 13: accident over Easter weekend. Gonzalez was hit by multiple cars
Speaker 13: while crossing Pacific Coast Highway near Ocean Avenue, an area
Speaker 13: with no crosswalk.
Speaker 2: One driver stayed, the other fled and.
Speaker 13: Has yet to be found.
Speaker 11: You got to come forward.
Speaker 13: Loved ones gathered for a vigil this week, remembering Gonzalez
Speaker 13: as a kind, hardworking man with dreams of starting a family.
Speaker 13: His girlfriend says, you just got a new job certification
Speaker 13: before his death. Fully say, video footage is too blurry
Speaker 13: to offer any solid leads. Heatherbrooker, KFI News.
Speaker 1: When we come back, conclave is all the ray. ABC's
Speaker 1: Willgans is going to join us to talk about that,
Speaker 1: and we'll also be talking about murder and anti government
Speaker 1: groups on the stream.
Speaker 9: You're listening to wake Up Call on demand from KFI
Speaker 9: Am six.
Speaker 1: Forty and we're almost out of here. Wake Up Call
Speaker 1: almost history for the week. That means that we're just
Speaker 1: minutes away from Handle on the news this morning. A
Speaker 1: Handle's going to talk about beefing up our firefighting forces
Speaker 1: in California ahead of the peak fire season. Here's what
Speaker 1: we're following in the KFI twenty four hour news room.
Speaker 1: A federal judge has blocked the White House from cutting
Speaker 1: off federal funding for sixteen sanctuary cities and counties. District
Speaker 1: Judge William Oric in San Francisco says Trump's executive order
Speaker 1: appears to be unconstitutional. More than fourteen thousand cases of
Speaker 1: theft have been referred for prosecution in the first year
Speaker 1: of Governor Newsom's initiative to crack down on theft in California.

Speaker 1: will receive an honorary degree at USC's commencement ceremony at
Speaker 1: the LA Memorial Coliseum. Chew will also deliver the keynote
Speaker 1: address at the ceremony on May fifteenth.
Speaker 2: Let's say good morning too. Our multi platform reporter from
Speaker 2: ABC willgans morning Will.
Speaker 12: Good morning to you. Amy.
Speaker 1: Okay, So we actually had this tuned on last night
Speaker 1: because Conclave is all the rage.
Speaker 12: It is all the rage, and it's available to stream
Speaker 12: for free for the first time since it hit theaters.
Speaker 12: It's streaming for free on Amazon Prime Video. And just
Speaker 12: like you, I think a lot of people are tuning
Speaker 12: into Conclave. It's been streams like upwards of twenty million
Speaker 12: minutes this week, which is, you know, a ton of viewership,
Speaker 12: but for a good reason. I mean, obviously it's a
Speaker 12: good movie. It was nominated for Best Picture this year
Speaker 12: at the Academy Awards, Ray Fines was nominated for Best Actor,
Speaker 12: and it won for Best Adapted Screenplay, So it's won
Speaker 12: a very good movie. And two, you know, a lot
Speaker 12: of experts, you know, people who have spent time in
Speaker 12: the Vatican and work for the church, have said, yeah,
Speaker 12: this is actually kind of what it's like whenever the
Speaker 12: College of Cardinals convenes to try and find and elect
Speaker 12: a new pope. You know, it's it's political to some extent.
Speaker 12: It's you know, the cardinals from each of these different
Speaker 12: places in the world, the continents and stuff, sort of
Speaker 12: backing people that suit their own interests. And yeah, it's
Speaker 12: I mean, it's a good movie. And you know there's
Speaker 12: a couple of twists along the way that you're like, oh, wow,
Speaker 12: didn't see that coming, which of course that's probably where
Speaker 12: the fictionalized aspect comes in. But you know, given the
Speaker 12: death of the pope and the fact that these cardinals
Speaker 12: are all convening right now. Yeah, seems like a good
Speaker 12: time to check out conflict.
Speaker 2: Well, think there's a.
Speaker 1: Lot of palace intrigue because it is fascinating the whole
Speaker 1: process and how they go behind closed doors and they
Speaker 1: have to it's all very secretive, and then when they
Speaker 1: don't come to an agreement, they put out black smoke
Speaker 1: and then you know, in the white smoke thing. I mean,
Speaker 1: it is all pretty interesting, especially if you're well, I
Speaker 1: mean for Catholics because they have a vested interest, but
Speaker 1: also for non Catholics because it's like this whole world
Speaker 1: that we don't really know.
Speaker 2: So it's kind of a cool insight.
Speaker 12: Exactly exactly, and it is, you know, for something that
Speaker 12: is happening in twenty twenty five, like the fact that
Speaker 12: it's no cell phones, cut off from the rest of
Speaker 12: the world, no watching TV. It does feel very like
Speaker 12: other time, other place, you know, fly on the wall.
Speaker 1: Yeah, although I thought it was funny because we again
Speaker 1: I told you we were watching it last night that
Speaker 1: now it's it all it feels like going back in
Speaker 1: time because it's in this in the Vatican in Rome
Speaker 1: and it's all very historic and then they're going through
Speaker 1: metal detectors.
Speaker 2: Thought that was kind of funny.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, uh huh yeah.
Speaker 1: And I love Stanley Tucci is in it. John Lisko
Speaker 1: of course finds is in it. It's just it's an
Speaker 1: amazing cast. And is it Isabella.
Speaker 2: Rosselini No, yeah, yeah, I mean it's.
Speaker 1: Just it's a great cast. So if you haven't seen it,
Speaker 1: I highly recommend that one. Okay, let's move over to
Speaker 1: Netflix and talk about You.
Speaker 12: Yeah. So this is the final season of the series You,
Speaker 12: that was of course inspired by that best selling novel
Speaker 12: by Caroline Ketnis and it's it's told from the perspective
Speaker 12: of a guy who is a stalker, and he's the
Speaker 12: main character. And in the series, he's played by Penn Badgeley,
Speaker 12: who some people may remember from Gossip Girl. Uh and
Speaker 12: you know, he's a creep for lack of a better word,
Speaker 12: but our he's our creep. And like it's one of
Speaker 12: those ones where you know, like people are watching the
Speaker 12: show and they're like, am I allowed to be having
Speaker 12: a crush on this guy? I mean, he's horrible. But anyway,
Speaker 12: so this is the fifth and final season. All the
Speaker 12: episodes just dropped on Netflix yesterday, So if you're looking
Speaker 12: for something to binge this weekend. You know, it's twisted.
Speaker 12: He's creepy, he's a killer, and he's caught up sort
Speaker 12: of in this world of like elites. You know. He
Speaker 12: has a very like rich and powerful wife who is
Speaker 12: sort of you know, provided him some sort of protection,
Speaker 12: you know, with all of the resources she has. And
Speaker 12: so we get to finally wrap up his story. Joe
Speaker 12: Goldberg is his name in the show. And yeah, it's
Speaker 12: it has its devoted following for sure.
Speaker 1: Okay, you know, I've never even heard of it, so
Speaker 1: I might have to add that to my list. Okay,
Speaker 1: And then Jude Law is back in the order and
Speaker 1: this is a movie.
Speaker 12: Yeah, so this I actually like. It was such a
Speaker 12: fun surprise to find. It was a limited theatrical release
Speaker 12: in December, but now it's finally on Hulu streaming for
Speaker 12: the first time for free since it was in theaters.
Speaker 12: And it's a true story and Jude Law plays an
Speaker 12: FBI agent in the nineteen eighties who is trying to
Speaker 12: bring down a group of like white supremacist terrorists, essentially
Speaker 12: domestic terrorists who they start off, you know, just by
Speaker 12: robbing banks and armored cars. And you can tell that
Speaker 12: they're working towards something bigger, and he is Jude Law's
Speaker 12: character is on their tail the whole time and trying
Speaker 12: to make sure that, you know, they don't pull off
Speaker 12: what they're trying to do. And it's fascinating. Like I
Speaker 12: didn't really know this story, and you know, watching the movie,
Speaker 12: it was you know, pretty gripping from start to finish.
Speaker 2: And based on a true story.
Speaker 12: Yeah, oh, I liked.
Speaker 1: I love stuff that's based on a true story, even
Speaker 1: though you know, I mean, they take some creative license
Speaker 1: with it, but it's fun to like go, wow, that
Speaker 1: kind of.
Speaker 12: Really happened exactly exactly and just like a peak behind
Speaker 12: the curtain of some of the you know, really really
Speaker 12: nastier parts of American history. So yeah, it's it's a
Speaker 12: good movie. All right.
Speaker 2: ABC's Willgans, thanks for the info.
Speaker 12: All right, thanks, Amy, has a great weekend.
Speaker 2: You too.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. California's economy maybe
Speaker 1: the fourth largest in the world, but some people aren't
Speaker 1: feeling it.
Speaker 3: The latest GDP report shows Kellia moving ahead of Japan.
Speaker 3: Senator Adam Schiff tells KFI one of the reasons residents
Speaker 3: may not feel that growth is because of a need
Speaker 3: for better housing policy.
Speaker 5: You can have the best programs in the world and
Speaker 5: can spend a fortune on them to move people off
Speaker 5: the street and into housing, but if you're not building
Speaker 5: new housing and bringing down the cost of housing, there's
Speaker 5: simply going to be new people taking their place on
Speaker 5: the street.
Speaker 3: California's economy is only smaller than the entire United States, China,
Speaker 3: and Germany. Michael monks KFI News.
Speaker 1: A documentary on the Eton and Palisades fires is now

Speaker 1: faced by the first responders in January. It also highlights
Speaker 1: how wildfire seasons are longer and more destructive. I think
