Speaker 1: maybe I'm just happy to be here and the birds
Speaker 1: are and the birds, you know, the birds. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: starting to get worried. Okay, we're talking about the eagles again.
Speaker 1: Up in Big Bear. I'm worried the Gizmo is not
Speaker 1: going to leave the nest because Sonny has come back.
Speaker 1: The older of the two took off, but now she's
Speaker 1: come back and she's just hanging out. And maybe Gizmo
Speaker 1: doesn't think that she needs to go.
Speaker 4: This most seems like a homebody.
Speaker 1: She does, and she's adorable. But I didn't I watched
Speaker 1: them yesterday because, as you know, my obsession with the Eagles.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to join EA when this is all over.
Speaker 1: Eagles anonymous, But I didn't notice that they were flapping
Speaker 1: a lot yesterday and Sonny didn't leave the nest. She's like, hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've done it. I flew. I'm done, Mom, bring me
Speaker 1: a fish. We'll keep watching them. It's interesting to me too,
Speaker 1: that like more people are watching now than when they hatched.
Speaker 1: There was like eighty thousand yesterday, and that's just at
Speaker 1: any given time on the Utah Channel. You can watch
Speaker 1: it on Friends of Big Bear Valley website. They've got
Speaker 1: a link to it there. National Catchup Day is today.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means, but maybe it means
Speaker 1: that I got to go get some fries. Yeah, all right,

Speaker 1: Seattle's been charged in connection with the bombing at a
Speaker 1: fertility clinic in Palm Springs. Prosecutors say thirty two year

Speaker 1: and injured four others. A fifteen year old boy has
Speaker 1: been killed in a crash in the parking lot of
Speaker 1: a High School in Studio City. The LAPD says it
Speaker 1: looks like the boy was passing between two vehicles and
Speaker 1: got pinned between them. It happened yesterday afternoon as students
Speaker 1: were being picked up after school. Police say the boy's
Speaker 1: father was there to pick him up and saw the
Speaker 1: whole thing. You may see smoke rising over a diamond bar.
Speaker 1: For the next couple of days. La County Fire cal
Speaker 1: Fire and the Orange County Fire Authority are doing a
Speaker 1: prescribed burn in Tanner Canyon today and tomorrow to reduce
Speaker 1: wildfire risk and improve the health of the ecosystem. A
Speaker 1: rift continues between Elon Musk and President Trump actually continues
Speaker 1: to build. Musk is railing on the big beautiful bill now.
Speaker 1: He says he just wants it thrown out and wants
Speaker 1: a new one. Obviously, Trump doesn't think that We're going
Speaker 1: to talk with ABC's Karen Travers about all this in
Speaker 1: just about three minutes, warning labels on snap foods they're
Speaker 1: coming in at least one state, and ABC's Jim Ryan
Speaker 1: is going to join us at five point twenty to
Speaker 1: tell us whether they'll be coming to a snack food
Speaker 1: or soda can near you too. President Trump says foreign
Speaker 1: students are no longer welcome to come to the US
Speaker 1: to go to Harvard. ABC's Peter Haralumbus joins us with
Speaker 1: the latest between the President and the Ivy League university.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get started with some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The
Speaker 1: Trump administration has ended nearly four billion dollars in federal
Speaker 1: funding for California's high speed rail project.
Speaker 4: I command the US Department of Transportation for taking action.
Speaker 5: The Department of Transportation blames mismanagement, miss deadlines, and cost
Speaker 5: overruns as the reason for cutting funding. This is the
Speaker 5: latest and a series of problems for the project that
Speaker 5: was sold to voters as a bullet train between San
Speaker 5: Francisco and La Republican Senator Tony Strickland says the project
Speaker 5: is a failure and the state should save taxpayer money.
Speaker 6: Let's stop wasting California's heart earned taxpayer dollars and put
Speaker 6: that money towards better use for all Californians.
Speaker 5: The California High Speed Rail Authority disputes the findings and
Speaker 5: has thirty seven days to respond.
Speaker 1: Heatherbrooker KFI News. LA Mayor Bass has met with the
Speaker 1: shipping industry leaders at the Port of Los Angeles to
Speaker 1: hear their concerns about import Texas.
Speaker 7: Mayor Bass convened a roundtable meeting at the Port of
Speaker 7: Los Angeles to discuss the impacts of mass tariffs on
Speaker 7: goods from other countries. Officials say the tariffs have already
Speaker 7: impacted businesses at local ports. Port of LA Executive Director
Speaker 7: Jean Soroka said the number of ships at port per
Speaker 7: week has dropped from ten to twelve to about five
Speaker 7: ships in the last seven days. He also said the
Speaker 7: difference in business has been noticeable in the last couple
Speaker 7: of months. Mayor Bass warned that Angelinos may not realize
Speaker 7: the impact yet, but says it's coming. Eileen Gonzalez Ky
Speaker 7: IFI News.
Speaker 1: The City of San Diego's ban on yoga classes in
Speaker 1: public parks and beaches has been ruled unconstitutional by a
Speaker 1: federal appeals court. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal says
Speaker 1: yoga classes held in public places are protected by the
Speaker 1: First Amendment. Who knew Let's say good morning now to
Speaker 1: ABC's Karen Travers, so, Karen looks like a riffed building.
Speaker 1: Between Elon Musk and President Trump is Musk continues to
Speaker 1: rail on the big beautiful bill. Now he says he
Speaker 1: just said it should just be tossed out and started over.
Speaker 8: Yeah. I mean he's saying kill the bill.
Speaker 9: That's what he wrote on X yesterday, his social media
Speaker 9: platform where he has, you know, hundreds of millions of followers.
Speaker 9: He is trying to tank the president's signature.
Speaker 8: Budget bill, his tax policy bill, which.
Speaker 9: Musk is calling a disgusting abomination. He's ramping up pressure
Speaker 9: on lawmakers, but he's also telling Americans, call your senator,
Speaker 9: call your congressman. Bankrupting America is not okay.
Speaker 8: Kill the bill. This is a really.
Speaker 9: Significant issue for the White House right now. You know,
Speaker 9: is it going to change minds on Capitol Hill?
Speaker 8: We'll see.
Speaker 9: But it's not helpful to have somebody who was once
Speaker 9: such a part of the inner circle. I mean literally,
Speaker 9: just a week ago, somebody who spent more than two
Speaker 9: hundred and seventy million dollars to help get the President
Speaker 9: and Republicans elected now on the outside not just you know,
Speaker 9: grumbling slightly about this piece of legislation, but actively saying
Speaker 9: it should not pass.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Interesting that there's been such a one to eighty
Speaker 1: and like you said, it's not that just there's rumblings.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's no. This thing sucks, It needs to
Speaker 1: be gone and you need to start over. Is the
Speaker 1: President saying anything about it yet about must response.
Speaker 9: Yeah, not yet, And that's notable. We haven't had a
Speaker 9: chance to ask the President questions over.
Speaker 8: The last three days.
Speaker 9: That will change today when you sit down in the
Speaker 9: Oble Office with the Chancellor of Germany. I can think
Speaker 9: that the group that goes in there in the Oble Office,
Speaker 9: this is going to be at the top of their list.
Speaker 8: To see his reaction to all of this.
Speaker 9: The White House has brushed it off, as you know, okay,
Speaker 9: it's not a news that he doesn't.
Speaker 3: Like this bill.
Speaker 8: But you know, that's one thing to not like the bill.
Speaker 9: It's another thing to actively try to tank the legislation
Speaker 9: that the administration has made the priority.
Speaker 8: For them right now. That is significant week.
Speaker 9: I was in the obl Office on Friday when President
Speaker 9: Trump had his goodbye ceremony for Elon Musk.
Speaker 8: I asked both of them about this.
Speaker 9: Must notably didn't weigh in with the President's sitting right
Speaker 9: next to him about his criticisms of the bill, even
Speaker 9: though he'd already started talking about that in interviews last week,
Speaker 9: but again, this is a significant ramping up of that,
Speaker 9: from just criticizing the bill to now saying it can't pass.
Speaker 1: Right, and it's it's pretty unusual for Trump to stay
Speaker 1: silent about something like this because usually if somebody, you know, punches,
Speaker 1: he counter punches. And I'm like, why not, maybe because
Speaker 1: it's not he's not saying President Trump screwed up. He's
Speaker 1: saying that the bill is bad and not. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just it's an interesting.
Speaker 8: Dynamic, and it's President Trump's bill.
Speaker 9: This is like, you know, Congress is doing this in
Speaker 9: a vacuum. This is exactly what President Trump campaigned on.
Speaker 9: It's what he wants. It was interesting to see last week,
Speaker 9: after Elon Musk first criticized the bill, the President then said, well,
Speaker 9: there's some things I didn't like about the House version either,
Speaker 9: and now the Senate starts making change and then they'll
Speaker 9: send it back over the House.
Speaker 8: But you know, it is still his legislation.
Speaker 9: This is what he wants, it's what his advisors are
Speaker 9: pushing lawmakers to move forward on. And ultimately, you know,
Speaker 9: this is the administration's agenda. But I think in some
Speaker 9: ways maybe he's holding back given the significance of who
Speaker 9: Elon Musk is. And again that's the question for the
Speaker 9: president today, why haven't you pushed back on what he
Speaker 9: is saying when he is trying to tank your bill.
Speaker 1: Well, you're going to be in the room, and we
Speaker 1: know our John Decker is going to be.
Speaker 9: Oh you're not not today, not my turn today.
Speaker 8: I was there Friday.
Speaker 1: Okay, I think kfi's John Decker is going to be there,
Speaker 1: so hopefully he'll get a chance up to ask him.
Speaker 1: ABC's Karen Travis, thanks so much for the information. As always,
Speaker 1: we'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 8: Have a great day.
Speaker 1: Thanks right you too. Let's get back to some of
Speaker 1: the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A.
Speaker 1: President Trump has announced a travel ban and restrictions on
Speaker 1: a dozen countries. Most are in the Mid East and Africa.
Speaker 1: Trump said yesterday the restrictions are part of a cracked
Speaker 1: on what he claims are an influx of attacks carried
Speaker 1: out by foreigners.
Speaker 10: The recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado has underscored the
Speaker 10: extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of
Speaker 10: foreign nationals who are not properly vetted, as well as
Speaker 10: those who come here as temporary visitors and overstay their visas.
Speaker 11: We don't want them.
Speaker 1: Trump's first travel band was issued in twenty seventeen and
Speaker 1: ban traveled to the US by citizens of seven and
Speaker 1: predominantly Muslim countries. That order was reworked and upheld by
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court in twenty eighteen. A federal judge has
Speaker 1: blocked the deportation of the family of the man accused
Speaker 1: of throwing molotov cocktails at pro Israeli demonstrators in Colorado.
Speaker 1: The district judge said removing the family without due process
Speaker 1: could cause irreparable harm. The family of Mohammed Solomon has
Speaker 1: sued to stay in the US. Solomon says his family
Speaker 1: didn't know he was planning the attack. At least five
Speaker 1: people have been killed in a Russian drone strike on
Speaker 1: a city in northern Ukraine. A regional governors's six drones
Speaker 1: hit residential areas of Priluki early this morning, causing severe
Speaker 1: damage to residential buildings. Hours later, seventeen people were hurt
Speaker 1: in a Russian drone strike in the city of Kharkiv
Speaker 1: in eastern Ukraine. Israel says the bodies of two Israeli
Speaker 1: American hostages taken during the Hamas attack in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: three have now been recovered. ABC S Jordana Miller says
Speaker 1: the Israeli Army launched a special opsmission overnight.
Speaker 12: Israeli special forces finding the bodies of Judy Weinstein and
Speaker 12: Gadhi Hagai, a married couple in their seventies, inkanyunis. The
Speaker 12: IDF had previously determined terrorists aligned with Hamas killed the
Speaker 12: Americans on Near O's and stole their bodies.
Speaker 1: SAMAS is still holding fifty six hostages. Israel says it
Speaker 1: believes only about a third of them are still alive.
Speaker 1: If we're stuck with chatbots, legislators want two child proofs.
Speaker 4: California lawmakers are advancing new rules to improve the safety
Speaker 4: of companionship chatbots, especially for children. A bill passed by
Speaker 4: the state Senate mandates companies from mind users every three
Speaker 4: hours that these chatbots are not real and may not
Speaker 4: be suitable for all miners. They must also have protocols
Speaker 4: for handling discussions on suicide or self harm and track
Speaker 4: how often those topics arise. The legislation target's social interaction
Speaker 4: chatbots excluding those used for customer service. The bill now
Speaker 4: heads to the Assembly. Mark Ronner, actual human KFI News.
Speaker 1: Yes, Mark Ronnin a runner, actual human and a pretty
Speaker 1: decent guy too. Guess what It's time to party? And
Speaker 1: who doesn't love a good party. Disney sure knows how
Speaker 1: to throw one. It's the Disneyland Resort's seventieth celebration going
Speaker 1: now at the park. KFI AM six forty wants to
Speaker 1: give you a chance to win a family four pack
Speaker 1: of one day, one park tickets to Disneyland Park or

Speaker 1: restrictions and change without notice. Yes, that means we have
Speaker 1: tickets to Disneyland or the Disney California Adventure Park coming
Speaker 1: up right here on a wake up Call, so keep
Speaker 1: it tuned here. A federal judge in San Francisco's thrown
Speaker 1: out a lawsuit filed by the state of California against
Speaker 1: President Trump's tariffs. The judge says the case is not
Speaker 1: in the right jurisdiction. Governor Newsom and Attorney General Bonta
Speaker 1: had argued the tariffs were unconstitutional. Newsom and Bonta can appeal.
Speaker 1: California's high speed rail project has hit another hurdle. A
Speaker 1: Department of Transportation audit of the seventeen year old project
Speaker 1: has revealed that it's failing to meet federal funding requirements
Speaker 1: for its grant awards. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the
Speaker 1: High Speed Rail Authority now has a month to respond
Speaker 1: or it could lose four billion dollars in federal funding.
Speaker 1: California's launched a Honeybee Health program to fight the decline
Speaker 1: in honeybee populations. The initiative will fund research, promote bee
Speaker 1: friendly practices for bee keepers and farmers, and also provide
Speaker 1: grants to tribes and schools and nonprofits. They say that
Speaker 1: dyeing a honey bees threatened food security because pollination is
Speaker 1: essential for more than one hundred crops in California. I'll
Speaker 1: just go on the record, I love bees. Moe Kelly
Speaker 1: can't stand them. He's scared, scared they do hurt it.
Speaker 3: Well, they don't.
Speaker 1: I went out to a bee farm and I didn't
Speaker 1: get stung once. It's how you react to them too.
Speaker 4: True so I'm always on a bicycle and moving and
Speaker 4: it hurts you can't stop.
Speaker 1: Suddenly, you know, it's like, oh, that's true. Well, anyway,
Speaker 1: we support bees here on Wake Up Call, let's say
Speaker 1: good morning now to ABC's Jim Ryan. I bet the
Speaker 1: honey wouldn't have a warning label on it, but some
Speaker 1: snack foods.
Speaker 13: Oh you know what honey does. Honey does give it
Speaker 13: to babies under one year or two years. You're not
Speaker 13: supposed to give it to the little kids.
Speaker 1: Oh but that's not that's not the snack food warnings
Speaker 1: we're talking about right now. No, okay, let's talk about those.
Speaker 13: These relate to chemicals, colorings, food additives that we find
Speaker 13: in things sodium aluminium sulfate for example, sterile tar trait,
Speaker 13: things that you've never heard of. And you know that's
Speaker 13: kind of been the rule of thumb for some time.
Speaker 13: If you can't pronounce it, you probably shouldn't eat it.
Speaker 13: So the Texas legislature what it did was to pass
Speaker 13: this thing unanimously. By the way, this provision, it's it's
Speaker 13: a wide ranging health provision called make Texas Healthy Again.
Speaker 13: That sound familiar, and one provision would require these warning
Speaker 13: labels that say it contains ingredients quote not recommended for
Speaker 13: human consumption.
Speaker 1: That's kind of si.
Speaker 13: Yeah, but the alternative, I mean that that's the compromise.
Speaker 13: There were folks who said, let's just leave it alone,
Speaker 13: forget about it. Then there were those who are saying,
Speaker 13: we need to ban these things in food products here
Speaker 13: in Texas and somewhere in the middle they met and said, now,
Speaker 13: let's just put a warning label on it for now
Speaker 13: and see what happened. So, additives in some snack foods,
Speaker 13: the Rito's for example, some soft drinks, some candies, they
Speaker 13: could all be subject to these warning labels in Texas.
Speaker 13: And you know what if that happens here, amy, it's
Speaker 13: likely to happen elsewhere.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because you won't end up printing labels that
Speaker 1: are different if for every state.
Speaker 13: Right right, So when you get a big state like
Speaker 13: Texas or California or New York Florida. You know, it's
Speaker 13: like textbooks. These big states kind of govern how textbooks
Speaker 13: are because the publishers want to put out just one
Speaker 13: version and spread it across the country. The same holds
Speaker 13: true for the food manufacturers. They just want to print
Speaker 13: one package, one label, and ship that out nationwide to
Speaker 13: save money.
Speaker 1: Okay, So then here's my question. As additives and guys
Speaker 1: and that kind of thing are pulled off of this,
Speaker 1: you know, taken out of the snack foods, as is
Speaker 1: supposed to happen, will those warning labels be able to
Speaker 1: come off?
Speaker 6: Probably?
Speaker 13: I would think they would. Even bleached flower is all
Speaker 13: on this list here, stuff.
Speaker 1: Like that not not good for human consumption, right, wow, Right,
Speaker 1: So it's not only snack foods, it's like lots of foods.
Speaker 13: But but you know, you'd find bleach flower in a
Speaker 13: lot of different things. Breakfast cereals, for example, they.
Speaker 1: Find it in a in a bag of bleached flower too.
Speaker 13: Well, that's true. And if this all kind of rings,
Speaker 13: you know, familiar, it's because and some of the folks
Speaker 13: who voted for this said they got calls of support,
Speaker 13: phone calls of support from Health and Human Services Secretary
Speaker 13: Robert F. Kennedy Junior. So he's standing behind this. And
Speaker 13: I suspect that they'll use Texas as kind of the
Speaker 13: proven ground to see if this could hold in other
Speaker 13: states too.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 13: The food manufacturers, by the way, say the stuff they
Speaker 13: put in their food, the additives, the flavorings, the colors
Speaker 13: are safe safe for human consumption. But and you know,
Speaker 13: they're they're kind of pushing back on this.
Speaker 1: So the other thing that's sort of interesting to me
Speaker 1: or makes me curious about is there right now they're
Speaker 1: just going to put the warning label on, but like,
Speaker 1: are they going to maybe expand it and show pictures
Speaker 1: of like morbidly obese people or diseased hearts or something,
Speaker 1: you know, like they do with cigarettes in the euroc Yeah,
Speaker 1: they show like we were we were just over there
Speaker 1: and they had like they'd show like a disease lung
Speaker 1: or a clogged artery. I mean then like pictures of
Speaker 1: it and people who've had like their faces cut off,
Speaker 1: and like, I mean, it was just it's crazy. How
Speaker 1: and everybody over in Europe smokes, so obviously the warning
Speaker 1: labels don't work.
Speaker 13: But yeah, if it was meant as a deterrent, it
Speaker 13: probably didn't work there. Somehow it worked here, you know,
Speaker 13: warning labels and super high taxes and that I think
Speaker 13: that's probably what they lack in Europe, is the super
Speaker 13: high taxes on cigarettes and tobacco products, And that's why
Speaker 13: they're still out there and popular being bought smoked and used.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, So when are these warning labels going to
Speaker 1: start showing up.
Speaker 13: Well, first, the Governor's going to have to sign it,
Speaker 13: and he undoubtedly will. I mean, the Republican controlled Senate
Speaker 13: has approved it. The House already passed it here in
Speaker 13: Texas and sent it on to the governor for his signature.
Speaker 13: He undoubtedly will sign it. You know, he wants to
Speaker 13: stay in good with the Trump administration and with RFK Junior,
Speaker 13: and so he'll sign it. So it could be September.
Speaker 13: I think September is when this would take effect, if
Speaker 13: in fact it does.
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll be watching for it. ABC's Jim Ryan, thanks
Speaker 1: so much, thank you. We should put a warning label
Speaker 1: on wake up call, be careful. It's all kindness and fun,
Speaker 1: how about that? Okay? Yeah, and talk of eagles, how
Speaker 1: are those eagles doing? Oh, they're up. Okay, let's get
Speaker 1: back to some of the stories coming out of the
Speaker 1: KFI twenty four our newsroom. Teen year old boy who

Speaker 1: President Trump has directed the Justice Department to investigate the
Speaker 1: actions of former President Biden, saying aids masked his cognitive decline.
Speaker 1: Trump has also raised questions about the use of the
Speaker 1: auto pen designed pardons and other documents. ABC's Andrew Dimbert
Speaker 1: says Biden calls the suggestions ridiculous and.
Speaker 17: False, Biden calling Trump's order nothing more than a mere distraction,
Speaker 17: saying I made the decisions during my presidency. I made
Speaker 17: the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations.
Speaker 1: Trump's memmo says the American public was purposefully shielded from
Speaker 1: discovering who wielded the executive power, all while Biden's signature
Speaker 1: was deployed across thousands of documents to affect radical policy shifts.
Speaker 1: Amazon plans to invest a lot of money for a
Speaker 1: new data center and AI campus.
Speaker 18: Amazon is expanding its cloud computing, infrastructure and artificial intelligence
Speaker 18: activity in North Carolina. The company said yesterday it intends
Speaker 18: to invest ten billion dollars toward building a campus in
Speaker 18: Richmond County. The company says this will be good for
Speaker 18: the region where textile and apparel jobs dried up a
Speaker 18: generation ago. Amazon said its investment should create at least
Speaker 18: five hundred jobs and support thousands more through construction and
Speaker 18: data center supply chain providers depor Mark Koffi News.

Speaker 1: to the Atlantic Ocean after having one of her flippers amputated.
Speaker 1: The turtle was taken to Loggerhead Marine Life Center in
Speaker 1: Juneo Beach, Florida back in January, suffering from predator wounds
Speaker 1: to the front flipper. A tracking device has been attached
Speaker 1: to Dilly Dally Shell so the Center and the public

Speaker 1: an Angel City Pride bandana. You can get your tickets
Speaker 1: now at Angelcity dot com and listen to all the
Speaker 1: games on the iHeartRadio app. Keyword angel City FC. Okay,
Speaker 1: time to get in your business with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini,
Speaker 1: who's in for Courtney today morning.
Speaker 3: Denise, Good morning. I want to start by talking about cars,
Speaker 3: because the RAM is getting its Hemi back, bringing back
Speaker 3: the Hemi V eight engine for truck fans who like
Speaker 3: more horsepower. It's all part of an effort to claw
Speaker 3: back lost share in the highly competitive truck market. Amy
Speaker 3: under Stillenta's previous CEO, RAM drop the Hemi engine from
Speaker 3: its twenty twenty five model and they put up that
Speaker 3: more fuel efficient turbo six cylinder engine called the Hurricane again.
Speaker 3: But I guess a lot of people weren't too happy
Speaker 3: with that. Now they're bringing this HEMI V eight back.
Speaker 3: It's a real gas guzzler. It makes a lot of noise,
Speaker 3: and it'll be back on dealer lots in just a
Speaker 3: couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: They say, oh that fast. Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean they really are hoping to kind of
Speaker 3: pick up the people that they may have alienated by
Speaker 3: trying to get more efficient. I mean, people like not
Speaker 3: spending a lot on gas, but then they like having
Speaker 3: these peak engines. So what are you going to do?
Speaker 3: And another car story I wanted to touch to, well,
Speaker 3: not exactly a car story, but Amazon is reportedly developing
Speaker 3: software for humanoid robots that could eventually take the job
Speaker 3: of delivery workers. And the thing about this is the
Speaker 3: information says Amazon is actually putting finishing touches on a
Speaker 3: humanoid park. Okay, this is an indoor obstacle course at
Speaker 3: one of Amazon's San Francisco offices to test the technology.
Speaker 3: I was thinking about this. It's not easy, right for
Speaker 3: a delivery person, right always to get to your door.
Speaker 3: They've got to get to the right place, the right package.
Speaker 3: They have to make sure the dog doesn't bite them,
Speaker 3: you know, all this stuff and that they don't break
Speaker 3: anything when they go in and a there's a lot
Speaker 3: that goes into getting that package delivered, and they're trying
Speaker 3: to make sure that their robots can do this because
Speaker 3: the idea is these humanoid robots will be able to
Speaker 3: ride in the back of an Amazon Electric Rivian van
Speaker 3: and then jump out to deliver us packages. So you
Speaker 3: might see that sometime, you know, in the near future.
Speaker 1: And the cool thing for the robots is that dog
Speaker 1: bites really aren't an issue.
Speaker 3: The dog bites aren't an issue, but if they walk
Speaker 3: through your fence, it might be an issue for the homeowners.
Speaker 3: That is true. And I don't know they.
Speaker 1: Don't like do you answer the door when a robot
Speaker 1: comes to knocking?
Speaker 11: I know you.
Speaker 3: You let your robot camera communicate with them without you
Speaker 3: having to do anything, right, You just pre program your
Speaker 3: robot camera at your door to say thank you, and
Speaker 3: as soon as they go away, then you come out
Speaker 3: of hiding and you go grab your package.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, let's talk about luxury hotels. There's a
Speaker 1: new class of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah. You know how it is when you get off
Speaker 3: a late night planed right, and you kind of wish
Speaker 3: you could just take a shower and it even really
Speaker 3: like go to sleep someplace really nice though, right there
Speaker 3: at the airport, and you're just like, oh, it's eleven o'clock.
Speaker 3: I've just arrived, Or you might be thinking, oh, I
Speaker 3: have this flight at six am, so I have to
Speaker 3: get up at two. But if only I could like
Speaker 3: just wake up at the airport. But who wants to
Speaker 3: sleep there right in the sleeping bag on a chair. Well, now,
Speaker 3: affluent vacationers and business travelers are paying the big bucks
Speaker 3: to stay at luxury hotels and airports just before or
Speaker 3: after their flights, according to the Wall Street Journal, And
Speaker 3: the one they really point to is the old Grand Hiat.
Speaker 3: It's actually inside Terminal D at Dallas Fort Wortz Airport,
Speaker 3: and it's now getting this major, major makeover. I think
Speaker 3: they're spending something like thirty four million dollars on this
Speaker 3: upgrade for this airport hotel to tap into this rising
Speaker 3: twin I'm in all right.
Speaker 1: Well, I would imagine it's going to have a luxury
Speaker 1: price tag too.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, five hundred dollars minimum for one of these five.
Speaker 1: Hundred bucks for a shower. Ladies and gentlemen, all right,
Speaker 1: What are we expecting on the markets today?
Speaker 3: Yeah, stock futures are higher. We did get this report
Speaker 3: out on a jobless claims to the weekly claims, and
Speaker 3: they did come in a little bit stronger than expected.
Speaker 3: These are the unemployment claims, right, But that's in the
Speaker 3: perverse world of All Street. That's not actually bad news
Speaker 3: because investors think that the job market is weakening, then
Speaker 3: maybe the Feddle cut interest rates right, and so Dow
Speaker 3: futures are up about seventeen not a lot. S ANDT
Speaker 3: futures up to NASDAK up three. But we are setting
Speaker 3: up for a positive openness Thursday.
Speaker 1: Me. That's always happy news. Bloomberg's Denise Pelgren and getting
Speaker 1: in your business. Thanks so much, Denise, appreciate it.
Speaker 6: Pleasure.
Speaker 1: Jilly County Sheriff's departments looking for the guy who carjacked
Speaker 1: one of its vehicles. Two deputies were in the back
Speaker 1: of a work truck yesterday morning near the courthouse in
Speaker 1: downtown LA when a man hopped in the driver's seat
Speaker 1: and took off. The deputies were able to jump out
Speaker 1: when the truck slowed down. The truck was later found
Speaker 1: in Guardina. Gas prices are expected to spite up to
Speaker 1: sixty five cents a gallon starting next month. Yep, it's
Speaker 1: almost here. A bill to repeal the hike in the
Speaker 1: gas tax has failed in the state Senate. San Diego
Speaker 1: State Senator Brian Jones says Senate Bill two would have
Speaker 1: reversed the new fuel regulations that are fueling the high prices.
Speaker 1: They say it was voted or He says it was
Speaker 1: voted down by majority Democrats. Jones says the closure of
Speaker 1: two refineries in California over the next few months could
Speaker 1: drive prices even higher. A new long California is going
Speaker 1: to address a teacher shortage by providing funding to schools
Speaker 1: to pay future teachers. The legislation also encourages applicants from
Speaker 1: lower income backgrounds. A cow Matters report says about twenty
Speaker 1: eight thousand teachers do a year of training for free
Speaker 1: to get their teaching certificates, and because they have to
Speaker 1: work for free, it causes a lot of students to
Speaker 1: walk away from the program. We're just minutes away from handle.
Speaker 1: In the news this morning, a judge has blocked the
Speaker 1: deportation of the family of the man who attacked pro
Speaker 1: Israeli demonstrators in bolded, Colorado is going to have something
Speaker 1: to say about that. Right now, let's check in with
Speaker 1: ABC's Peter Hara Lamboo's Peter. The latest in a long
Speaker 1: string of orders from President bar bar Our President Trump
Speaker 1: bars foreign students from coming to the US to go
Speaker 1: to Harvard.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's exactly right.
Speaker 11: More bad luck for Harvard here, as this battle between
Speaker 11: the White House and the country's oldest college and university
Speaker 11: escalates overnight. Trump is now borrowing the United States from
Speaker 11: allowing foreigners to enter the country to go to Harvard.
Speaker 11: This comes just two weeks after the Trump administration tried
Speaker 11: to revoke the school's ability to enroll international students. That
Speaker 11: was ruled and lawful, But now Trump is using a
Speaker 11: different law to try to block foreign students. We'll see
Speaker 11: how this fair is in the courts, but one thing's clear.
Speaker 11: The Trump administration is still trying to find different ways
Speaker 11: to probe Harvard to make life more difficult for him.
Speaker 1: Okay, So, Peter, then my question for you is is
Speaker 1: this order that bars the students from coming into the
Speaker 1: US to go to Harvard is that separate from the
Speaker 1: one that he the proclamation or order that he did
Speaker 1: yesterday that basically bans travel from people from like twenty countries.
Speaker 11: So they both rely on a similar law, the i NA,
Speaker 11: and though they are different in terms of this scope. Right,
Speaker 11: So those twelve orders, those twelve countries are blocked pretty
Speaker 11: unilaterally from entering the country's citizens from those countries, whereas
Speaker 11: the Trump decision pretty much blocks anyone regardless of what
Speaker 11: country you're coming from, insofar as you're not a US
Speaker 11: that is in the canon, into the United States for
Speaker 11: the purposes of studying at Harvard.
Speaker 1: Okay, And did you say this was an executive order
Speaker 1: or this is just another order that he's trying to,
Speaker 1: like you said, trying to go and kind of get
Speaker 1: to the same result a different way.
Speaker 11: So this was a proclamation, so it was kind of
Speaker 11: similar to an executive order. He's doing it unilaterally, pretty
Speaker 11: much just declaring that he's directing the Secretary of State
Speaker 11: to execute this change lawful. Less will have to see.
Speaker 11: I assume we're going to see some action from Harvard
Speaker 11: challenging this in the courts. But it's a different law
Speaker 11: than what was used a few weeks ago, and what
Speaker 11: was blocked is unlawful by federal judge in.
Speaker 1: Boston Okay, so we'll be watching that, and I agree
Speaker 1: with you. I would imagine there's going to be immediate
Speaker 1: legal action taken against this one.
Speaker 11: Uh, and then we'll have to see yeah.
Speaker 1: And then let's move over because you're also following the
Speaker 1: Didy trial in New York and testimony continued yesterday. And
Speaker 1: as far as being a really bad guy, things do
Speaker 1: not look good for Sean Combs. But are they establishing
Speaker 1: the racketeering and the sex trafficking or are they just
Speaker 1: showing that he's an awful person.
Speaker 11: So they're certainly prove showing that he's an awful person.
Speaker 11: I think that's undoubted. Sean de Combs is not going
Speaker 11: to be made a saint anytime soon. But when it
Speaker 11: comes to the racketeering, and that's more of a process.
Speaker 11: I think yesterday we saw a testimony from a witness
Speaker 11: who more so goes to the idea that he's not
Speaker 11: a good person than the racketeering that Combs basically dangled
Speaker 11: her off a balcony of the seventeenth floor building and
Speaker 11: threatened her. Though that doesn't really fall into one of
Speaker 11: the predicate crimes under the racketeering Statute, we have seen
Speaker 11: other witnesses, though, talk about these underlying crimes that go
Speaker 11: to form or to prove racketeering. We heard about Combs's
Speaker 11: former assistant saying that she was kidnapped at gunpoint basically
Speaker 11: and asked to confront kid Cutty with Combs. We heard
Speaker 11: from another witness who says that they bought drugs for Combs.
Speaker 11: We heard from other witnesses who allegedly said that they
Speaker 11: were sex trafficked by poms. These are other predicate crimes.
Speaker 11: At the end of the day, all it takes in
Speaker 11: this jury to convict Shron Combs of racketeering conspiracy is
Speaker 11: believing that he worked with one other person, at least
Speaker 11: one other person to commit two underlying crimes. That's all
Speaker 11: it takes. And at this point, the prosecution believed that
Speaker 11: he's committed about six or seven different predicate crimes. So
Speaker 11: the jury has a lot to choose from.
Speaker 1: Okay, so what's coming next? Are they back in in
Speaker 1: session today?
Speaker 11: Yeah, consession today at late start at eleven am here
Speaker 11: on the East Coast, and we're expecting to hear some
Speaker 11: of most dramatic testimony today. They're going to be calling
Speaker 11: a woman named Jane that's a pseudonym. She's the third
Speaker 11: and final victims of testifying this case. Prosecutors alleged that
Speaker 11: she's a single mother who became romantically involved with Combs,
Speaker 11: and that she was sex trafficked by Coombs as recently
Speaker 11: as last year. We also expect to hear a little
Speaker 11: bit about what prosecutors say was witness tampering, where Combs
Speaker 11: basically pressured her to say that their sexual encounters were
Speaker 11: consensual after investigators began looking into them.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, ABC's Peter Harrlumbus, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for the update on both of these very fascinating cases.
Speaker 6: Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: Any all right, Peter always has such good good stuff,
Speaker 1: and he likes he's a long guy. He loves her
Speaker 1: cool last name harlem Bus. Yeah, it's just cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it took me like six months to say it, right,
Speaker 1: all right, let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A
Speaker 1: brush fire along the five Freeway through the Grapevine has
Speaker 1: burned more than one hundred and thirty acres, and as
Speaker 1: well has been telling you it is affecting traffic. Air
Speaker 1: tankers and helicopters have been doing water drops on the fire.
Speaker 1: It's five percent surrounded and evacuation warning has been issued
Speaker 1: for parts of Lebeck and that you can see that
Speaker 1: big plume of smoke as you travel through the area.
Speaker 1: The White House has announced they'll be pulling four billion
Speaker 1: dollars in federal funding for California's high speed rail project.
Speaker 1: Republican Senator Tony Strickland says the project is a complete
Speaker 1: failure and is urging his colleagues to just scrap the
Speaker 1: whole project.
Speaker 6: This project does proposed, it is supposed to be died
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty at thirty three billion dollars. Well, we've
Speaker 6: already set over that amount. We haven't laid down one track.
Speaker 6: It's now spiraled out of control to one hundred and
Speaker 6: twenty eight billion dollars, and it's only going to go
Speaker 6: from Merced to Bakersfield.
Speaker 1: Strickland says the skyrocketing costs and the lack of transparency
Speaker 1: around the mismanagement of the project continues to erode the
Speaker 1: public's trust. That four billion dollars in federal grants is
Speaker 1: technically still on the table. The White House has threatened
Speaker 1: to pull it, but the High Speed Rail Authority has
Speaker 1: just over a month to respond to see if they
Speaker 1: can continue the funding. LA Mayor Bass has met with
Speaker 1: leaders at the Port of Los Angeles about the impacts
Speaker 1: of President Trump's tariffs. The group agreed that the unpredictable
Speaker 1: nature of the President's policies make it difficult to create
Speaker 1: short term forecasts. Despite the tariffs, the port has experienced
Speaker 1: ten straight months of year over year growth at the port.
Speaker 1: A federal judge has blocked the deportation of the wife
Speaker 1: and five children of the man in Boulder, Colorado, charged
Speaker 1: with attacking Jewish people with homemade firebombs.
Speaker 16: The judge saying federal authorities shall not remove the family
Speaker 16: members unless he or the Tenth US Circuit Court of
Speaker 16: Appeals vacates order. The family had filed a lawsuit to
Speaker 16: prevent being deported.
Speaker 1: ABC's Alex Stones his Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noum, had
Speaker 1: said the family was in the process of being removed
Speaker 1: from the US. Officials say the Egyptian man was charged
Speaker 1: in Sunday's attack, he overstayed a visa and is in
Speaker 1: the country illegally. They probably won't call it be best.
Speaker 4: California is launching a honeybee health program to combat rising
Speaker 4: honeybee deaths. The initiative will fund research, promote be friendly
Speaker 4: practices for beekeepers and farmers, and provide grants to tribes, schools,
Speaker 4: and nonprofits. Honeybees are essential for pollinating over one hundred
Speaker 4: crops and supporting the economy. Researchers say their declining populations
Speaker 4: are due to climate change, habitat loss, and disease. They
Speaker 4: say dying honeybees threatened food security. Mark Ronner, KFI News.
