Speaker 4: Anyway.
Speaker 6: Hey, I want to say, as all these protests and
Speaker 6: all this stuff continues, thank you so much to LAPD
Speaker 6: and the La County Sheriff and other law enforcement agencies
Speaker 6: for doing their best to do to keep things under control,
Speaker 6: because they're getting out of control and they're getting you know,
Speaker 6: pelted and thrown and thrown stuff at and attacked, and
Speaker 6: I think that they're just keeping their cool. And when
Speaker 6: you see the protesters getting up in their face and
Speaker 6: yelling and screaming, and they're just.
Speaker 4: Uh huh, all right, good, got it.
Speaker 6: Let's just stay calm, so uh hats off, and thank

Speaker 6: second night after a fourth day and night of protesting
Speaker 6: over ice raids in the city. Most of downtown around
Speaker 6: the Civic Center was declared off limits after demonstrators block traffic,
Speaker 6: through objects and got into tussles with police. Police has
Speaker 6: to make the crowds last night, we're a little bit
Speaker 6: smaller than Sunday night protests broke out outside the Federal
Speaker 6: Building in Santa Ana following ice raids in Orange County.

Speaker 6: kids graduation ceremonies, regardless of their immigrations status. Alberto Carvallo
Speaker 6: has instructed school police to increase their presence at the
Speaker 6: more than one hundred graduation ceremonies that are happening between
Speaker 6: yesterday and today. When asked if Governor Newsom should be
Speaker 6: arrested for impeding law enforcement, President Trump said, Yeah, that
Speaker 6: might be a good thing. ABC's Karen Travers is the
Speaker 6: one who asked that question. She'll join us in just
Speaker 6: a couple of minutes. The Marines are coming to LA,
Speaker 6: about seven hundred of them. ABC Sen Kingston joins us
Speaker 6: at FI point twenty to talk about when they'll get here,
Speaker 6: what they'll be doing and what they won't be doing
Speaker 6: in LA. And we're tightening the purse strings. We're not
Speaker 6: spending as much on luxury items as nervousness over the
Speaker 6: economy continues. But there is one thing we are doing.
Speaker 6: Joel Larsgard, the host of How the Money on KFI,
Speaker 6: joins us at five point fifty to tell us what
Speaker 6: that is and whether we should be doing it. Let's
Speaker 6: get started with some of the stories coming out of
Speaker 6: the KFI twenty four hour newsroom that protest against immigration
Speaker 6: rates in Santa Anna I got chaotic last night. Police
Speaker 6: had to declare an unlawful assembly. The protests around the
Speaker 6: Civic Center plaza escalated as people through rocks, bottles, fireworks,
Speaker 6: and other items. The city put out a statement saying
Speaker 6: federal agents were being overrun at the federal building and
Speaker 6: that in response, federal agents have deployed less lethal ammunition,
Speaker 6: including tear gas, pepper balls, and rubber bullets. Several people
Speaker 6: were seen in handcuffs. We're hearing about ten arrests borders are.
Speaker 6: Tom Holmes is the immigration enforcement efforts in an around
Speaker 6: LA have targeted criminals. He taels kfi's John Cobalt that
Speaker 6: several of the detainees have been charged with crimes unrelated
Speaker 6: to their immigration status.
Speaker 7: Of our public safety throats office street. We rest of
Speaker 7: the murderer, we rested several child predators, child sex preasors.
Speaker 7: We rested the rapist. We arrested someone connective.
Speaker 3: Armed robbery home.
Speaker 6: It says the initial immigration enforcement ad action at a
Speaker 6: business in the fashion district targeted and operation involved in
Speaker 6: money laundering and other crimes. A masked group has been
Speaker 6: seen on video handing out riot gear gas masks to
Speaker 6: protesters in downtown La.
Speaker 8: KTTV captured the video on Monday, just feet away from
Speaker 8: federal buildings. National Guard troops were standing outside the federal buildings,
Speaker 8: but no local police were visible at the time. When
Speaker 8: report says people arrived with truckloads of UVX bionic face shields,
Speaker 8: It's unclear who the people who handed out the gear
Speaker 8: are affiliated with. Daniel Martindale KFI News.
Speaker 6: LA County Supervisor Lindsay hor Horvath has criticized the Trump
Speaker 6: administration for sending the Marines to La. She tells KTLA
Speaker 6: she believes local authorities have things under control.
Speaker 4: There are many people.
Speaker 9: Out there who are trying to use the peaceful protests
Speaker 9: as cover for bad behavior, and that's why law enforcement
Speaker 9: is on hand.
Speaker 6: Horvez says the LAPD, sheriff's deputies and CHP officers are
Speaker 6: not available to help ICE agents. Five oh seven on
Speaker 6: your wake up call, time to check in with ABC's
Speaker 6: Karen Travers. So, Karen is The bickering between President Trump
Speaker 6: and Governor Newsom continues over the call up of the
Speaker 6: National Guard members. Trump says, maybe it'd be a good
Speaker 6: thing if the governor got arrested.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's what he said yesterday after his borders are
Speaker 9: Tom Homan had said insisted kind of that there was
Speaker 9: no discussion about arresting Newsom, kind of clarifying some comments
Speaker 9: he had made in an interview. He pushed back on
Speaker 9: the idea Homan did that he was going to arrest
Speaker 9: Newsom or the LA mayor Karen Bass. The President, though,
Speaker 9: said I would do it if I were Tom. I
Speaker 9: think it's great. Newsom said that that was an unmistakable
Speaker 9: step toward authoritarianism and the acts of a dictator. I
Speaker 9: asked the President what crime Newsom had committed that would
Speaker 9: warrant his arrest, and the President told me, I think
Speaker 9: his primary crime is running for governor, because he's done such.
Speaker 3: A bad job.
Speaker 4: Always the jokester.
Speaker 6: Okay, So there does appear that there's a lot of
Speaker 6: political posturing on both sides. Newsom's kind of making comments
Speaker 6: that make him sound decidedly like a presidential candid it
Speaker 6: in my humble opinion, But who can win and who.
Speaker 4: Can lose on this?
Speaker 6: I mean, the chances of Newsome getting arrested maybe slim,
Speaker 6: But like, you know, who's got more at stake here?
Speaker 9: You know, I think these are two men who have
Speaker 9: a lot of political history. They have not shied away
Speaker 9: from going back and forth and going at each other
Speaker 9: on policy issues, on politics. So it's like they were
Speaker 9: both kind of eager to jump into the fray against
Speaker 9: each other in a way that maybe the President wouldn't
Speaker 9: do with a governor of another state. This is kind
Speaker 9: of a fight that he was eager to have with Newsome,
Speaker 9: not necessarily over the issue, but with Newsom. Newsom doing
Speaker 9: it right back on social media. So, you know, I
Speaker 9: don't know, We'll see how this plays out. I do
Speaker 9: think it was notable that yesterday I asked the President
Speaker 9: if he was going to deploy Marines in California, and
Speaker 9: he told me, we'll see what happens. I think we
Speaker 9: have it very well under control. I think it would
Speaker 9: have been a very situation. It was heading in the
Speaker 9: wrong direction. It's now heading in the right direction. And
Speaker 9: then minutes later we confirmed that seven hundred marines based
Speaker 9: out of twenty nine palms had been ordered to assist
Speaker 9: in LA So it's kind of an interesting answer of,
Speaker 9: you know, taking that step after saying that things were
Speaker 9: trending in the right direction, the President making that move.
Speaker 9: Not clear what those marines are going to do.
Speaker 3: They already had started.
Speaker 9: Arriving, but again a decision made without consulting with the governor.
Speaker 6: And we're going to be talking to your colleague, Shannon
Speaker 6: Kingston more about the deployment of those marines just in
Speaker 6: a few minutes.
Speaker 4: So ABC's Karen.

Speaker 6: all grown up now. They were flying around yesterday. It's
Speaker 6: cool to see them take off. Like one of them
Speaker 6: took off yesterday morning, and then the other one like
Speaker 6: watched them for a minute and then went, Okay, I
Speaker 6: guess it's my time. I'm guessing it was Sonny who
Speaker 6: took off first, and then Gizmo followed her, and then
Speaker 6: they were.
Speaker 4: Both gone all day, and then they came back to
Speaker 4: the nest last night. I think they like each other.

Speaker 6: the two thousand National Guard members to protect federal property.

Speaker 6: attack that could disrupt supplies to some stores. The company

Speaker 6: have customer orders.
Speaker 4: At six oh five, it's handle on the news. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he's going to.
Speaker 6: Be talking about the raids, what's going on, what's coming
Speaker 6: up next, And as always it'll be a fun handle
Speaker 6: take on the news.
Speaker 4: Let's say good morning.
Speaker 6: Now to ABC's Shannon Kingston. Shannon, President Trump is calling
Speaker 6: on in the Marines, So let's break it down.
Speaker 4: First of all, what authority does he have to do that.
Speaker 5: Well, right now, he's using Title ten, which does give
Speaker 5: the president the ability to centralize the National Guard and
Speaker 5: bring in active duty members of the military. So so far,
Speaker 5: we've seen the total number of assigned military personnel to
Speaker 5: deal with the protests in Los Angeles climb to about
Speaker 5: four eight hundred, So those troops are solely making their
Speaker 5: way into the city. But a big question going forward
Speaker 5: is whether President Trump might invoke the Insurrection Act because
Speaker 5: that would give those troops on the ground significantly more
Speaker 5: ability to confront protesters, to do things like crowd control.
Speaker 5: Is one of the most extreme emergency powers available to
Speaker 5: a sitting president.
Speaker 6: Okay, so we're not there yet, and so let's talk
Speaker 6: about if could you mention that if he did the
Speaker 6: Insurrection Act, that the troops could then confront protesters and stuff.
Speaker 4: They don't they're not allowed to do that right now.
Speaker 6: So as as they fan out across the city or
Speaker 6: arrive in the city, what kinds of things will they
Speaker 6: be doing and how will they be armed?
Speaker 5: Well, what the guardsmen and the active duty military members
Speaker 5: are allowed to do right now is protect federal assets.
Speaker 5: So that might be federal buildings that could be ICE agents,
Speaker 5: for example, who are carrying out these raids that spark
Speaker 5: the protests, and they can also defend themselves. Now, they
Speaker 5: will be carrying their standard issue service webs but they
Speaker 5: won't have things like tear grass. They will have protective
Speaker 5: equipment such as helmet shields and gas masks, but they
Speaker 5: won't be directly handling crowds like we've seen the LAPD
Speaker 5: do so far.
Speaker 6: Okay, And and if if I'm understanding correctly from what
Speaker 6: I've seen, they will not really be armed.
Speaker 4: They'll have weapons, but they won't be loaded.
Speaker 7: That's right.
Speaker 5: So that is meant to kind of control at how
Speaker 5: esclotworthy situations can be. But of course, you know, this
Speaker 5: could all change as we go forward here. The President
Speaker 5: has suggested that he is he could use the Insurrection Act.
Speaker 5: He hasn't taken that off the table. He's called the
Speaker 5: protesters insurrectionists, but he also did say yesterday that he
Speaker 5: thought the situation was trending in the right direction. So
Speaker 5: really this could change hour by hour.
Speaker 6: Okay, And you mentioned that they can protect federal assets,
Speaker 6: so they can prevent protect the federal building, they could
Speaker 6: protect the federal agents, but they're not directly assisting local
Speaker 6: police or shriffs deputies.
Speaker 4: Is that correct, that's right, not at this point, okay,
Speaker 4: And do we have any idea how long they might
Speaker 4: be here.
Speaker 5: Well, right now, it's indefinite to deal with the situation
Speaker 5: under Title tense, so there's no time limit exactly on
Speaker 5: how long they can be in Los Angeles. But of
Speaker 5: course we know this is a drain on military resources
Speaker 5: because for every troop that's deployed, it does take a
Speaker 5: certain number of troops to back them up and help
Speaker 5: with logistical support. So typically it's not in the interest
Speaker 5: of the federal government to keep something like this going
Speaker 5: for very long. It'll be as the situation calls for it.
Speaker 5: But we also do know, of course that the President
Speaker 5: and California Governor Gavin Newsom are having a bit of
Speaker 5: a feud themselves, so we are seeing this fight kind
Speaker 5: of play out on two different levels, Newsom versus Trump
Speaker 5: and also cederal versus state authorities.
Speaker 6: Okay, and we'll be watching it closely. Thank you, Shannon Kingston,
Speaker 6: ABC News.
Speaker 4: When we come back.
Speaker 6: We're gonna get in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe.
Speaker 4: Find out what's happening with the markets. Time to get
Speaker 4: in your.
Speaker 6: Business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donna. Ho morning, Courtney, good morning. Okay,
Speaker 6: So let's talk about candy. Oh, just a way to
Speaker 6: start the day.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 6: The Nerds gummy clusters is what we're gonna be talking about.
Speaker 6: And our very own Kono is a huge proponent of these.
Speaker 11: Oh, I love them. Anytime my kids get them. Uh,
Speaker 11: that's where they disappear. Please don't tell them. That's gonna
Speaker 11: be our secret. But of course it's become now a
Speaker 11: massive hit in the candy store. The gummy that's covered
Speaker 11: if you haven't seen them, they have the tiny crunchy
Speaker 11: Nerds and it's within a gummy center. It's overtaken Skittles
Speaker 11: as the top sugar confection in the US. So candymaker
Speaker 11: Ferrara they make them. It came from Nesley first and
Speaker 11: they bought it about seven years ago. And they say
Speaker 11: Nerds is on track for more than nine hundred million
Speaker 11: dollars in sales this year. That's a more than seventeen
Speaker 11: percent increase in those seven years, and they said much
Speaker 11: of that bump is due to the gummy clusters. So
Speaker 11: if for those of you who love it, next in
Speaker 11: development for the brand, according to food industry tracker, food
Speaker 11: Dive is Nerds juicy gummy clusters, So it contains juice
Speaker 11: in the center. It's three times the size of a
Speaker 11: gummy cluster, so yay, and it's juice in the center here. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 11: that sounds a little gross. No, those are those candies
Speaker 11: are kind of fun, you know when you get that
Speaker 11: little surprise of like sweetness.
Speaker 6: So remember there was this was years ago, there was
Speaker 6: a bubble gum that had a juicy center.
Speaker 4: I don't remember what it was called.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and it wasn't juicy fruit because that has no
Speaker 11: taste to it.
Speaker 4: Well it does for the first three seconds.
Speaker 6: But yeah, it was like a bubble gum and you'd
Speaker 6: bite into it and they had that gooey stuff come
Speaker 6: out in the middle.
Speaker 11: Yes, well that's kind of what they're attempting to try
Speaker 11: to do. I remember that gum year's ago.
Speaker 4: That was great. Okay, I'm going to look that up.
Speaker 6: Okay, let's move on to college graduates. Maybe they're going
Speaker 6: to have a tough, tough go of it.
Speaker 11: Yes, and especially their parents who want them to get
Speaker 11: a job. Even more, it's a worse labor marketing years
Speaker 11: for entry level highers. So I'm sorry to go from
Speaker 11: candy and something so fun to something so tough for
Speaker 11: so many people. According to the New York Fed, the
Speaker 11: unemployment rate for degree holders between the ages of twenty
Speaker 11: two and twenty seven has hit five point eight percent.
Speaker 11: That is the highest level in about four years. Companies
Speaker 11: have cut the number of college grads they plan to
Speaker 11: hire because of the on again, off again tariffs. They're
Speaker 11: trying to decide what they need to do with their expenses. Plus,
Speaker 11: you can't forget about artificial intelligence is replacing a lot
Speaker 11: of entry level jobs.
Speaker 6: Like I've heard as much as like ninety percent of
Speaker 6: those jobs are just going to go away.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's going.
Speaker 11: To be so tough for so many people who just
Speaker 11: need to get their foot in the door. They need
Speaker 11: to learn about the industry, what's going to happen there.
Speaker 11: You can't just jump right in without getting that sort
Speaker 11: of experience. So the whole entire job market has has
Speaker 11: and is continuing to evolve in the future. And this
Speaker 11: is tough for a lot of kids who are coming
Speaker 11: out of school right now, okay, with the economy, yeah, okay,
Speaker 11: and then.
Speaker 6: Real quick, why might we see some empty shelves at
Speaker 6: the grocery store.
Speaker 11: Wholesale distributor United Natural Foods has been hacked and that's
Speaker 11: disrupting all their deliveries to stores around the country. But
Speaker 11: the company is the primary distributor for whole Foods United
Speaker 11: Natural Foods. They've shut some of their systems. They're investigating
Speaker 11: this on authorized activity. The company says it's working closely
Speaker 11: with customers to minimize the disruption as much as possible.
Speaker 6: But right now you might see some sparseness, yes, especially
Speaker 6: when you go to Whole Foods.
Speaker 11: They signed this contract last year with this company.
Speaker 4: Okay, the gum was freshen up, Yes, that was it.
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness. Yeah, bringing back the memories getting in.
Speaker 6: Your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Dona, who like we do
Speaker 6: every day at five point forty.

Speaker 6: over the economy continues, but there is one thing we

Speaker 3: local university and found that kind of things being just
Speaker 3: tossed aside, thrown away. We're quite nice that these college
Speaker 3: students were saying, I got to get out of here,
Speaker 3: got my degree, and they just left a bunch of
Speaker 3: stuff in the dumpster around the dumpster on the curb.
Speaker 3: And so she was able to score almost seven thousand
Speaker 3: dollars worth of free goods because yeah, people are piecing
Speaker 3: out and they're getting rid of their stuff. And I've
Speaker 3: just found this to be true in my own life too,
Speaker 3: that sometimes people are done with something. My wife got
Speaker 3: rid of some perfectly nice tennis shoes the other day.
Speaker 3: She was like, they're just that they don't fit me
Speaker 3: right anymore, and so someone's totally gonna score if we
Speaker 3: give those to goodwill, which we probably will. So I
Speaker 3: think it's just just a good reminder to say, one
Speaker 3: person's trash is another person's treasure, and if you're the
Speaker 3: thoughtful kind of person who's on the lookout, you might
Speaker 3: be able to score a deal and score something essentially free.
Speaker 6: I think gently used as a lovely thing. Yeah, one
Speaker 6: of my best friends and I have the same sized shoe.
Speaker 6: Most of most my best friends don't have the same
Speaker 6: size shoe, but we swap shoes back and forth all
Speaker 6: the time.
Speaker 4: It's like, I don't want to wear these anymore. Will
Speaker 4: don't look at me that way.
Speaker 6: They're still clean, all right anyway, So yes, I agree
Speaker 6: with you. Well let's move on, because we'll still give
Speaker 6: me the stink guy.
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna say. I've had friends legit start businesses
Speaker 3: from this where they're like, wait, they see like an
Speaker 3: inefficiency where the nice stuff gets donated to a certain
Speaker 3: place where they're grad at, like curb pickups and stuff
Speaker 3: like that. I'm just saying, keep your eyes open, keep
Speaker 3: your mind open to the possibility that somebody else's discard
Speaker 3: might be something that you can pull into.
Speaker 7: Your life and use.
Speaker 6: Well, look at like the real real They've made a
Speaker 6: fortune off of this one percent, and there's like all.
Speaker 3: Sorts of Peloton just launched a used store, right, so
Speaker 3: they're they're trying to recycle goods for their customers. The
Speaker 3: truth is, though, in so many instances, you're going to
Speaker 3: do better by cutting out the middleman, going straight to
Speaker 3: Facebook marketplace and buying that used Peloton yourself directly from
Speaker 3: somebody who doesn't want it anymore, instead of paying Peloton
Speaker 3: twice as much for the privilege of buying me you
Speaker 3: s Peloton from them.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
Speaker 6: Okay, So Campbell's came out with a study saying that
Speaker 6: more people are eating at home and their home their
Speaker 6: soup sales are up and that kind of stuff because
Speaker 6: people are worried about the economy.
Speaker 4: But you're saying that your numbers don't jive with that.
Speaker 3: Well, no, I'm not saying my numbers don't drive with that.
Speaker 3: I'm saying, it's one small little data point. So it's
Speaker 3: interesting how that Campbell's coming out and saying, hey, people
Speaker 3: are buying more not just of their canned soups, but
Speaker 3: of like pasta, sauce and crackers and stuff.
Speaker 7: Like that too.
Speaker 3: They're basically saying definitively, people are cooking at home more.
Speaker 3: And that's kind of sort of true. Maybe right now
Speaker 3: a small trend back towards cooking at home, but when
Speaker 3: you look at the overall trend over the past decade,
Speaker 3: it's been a significant trend of people eating out more
Speaker 3: than they cook at home. That's really never been the
Speaker 3: case until really recent history. And when you look at
Speaker 3: the price discrepancy of cooking at home versus eating out,
Speaker 3: it's massive. We're talking average meal in of four dollars
Speaker 3: per person average eating. The average cost of eating out
Speaker 3: is seventeen dollars per person per meal. So if you're
Speaker 3: taking a family five out to eat, you're dropping a
Speaker 3: hundred bucks. If you're eating in as a family, you're
Speaker 3: talking about twenty bucks. And that adds up significantly. And
Speaker 3: so we've seen a greater discrepancy in the cost of
Speaker 3: eating out and cooking at home and so yeah, grow
Speaker 3: we talk about how expensive groceries are, but the truth
Speaker 3: is it's so much cheaper to buy the groceries and
Speaker 3: to cook at home. It's important to have a plan
Speaker 3: to actually use this up that you buy, and to
Speaker 3: not just say on a whim, now we're going to
Speaker 3: go out to eat tonight, because and I get that
Speaker 3: I've fallen. I have fallen into that cycle at times
Speaker 3: in the past where you just don't feel like it
Speaker 3: that night. That's why it's so important a meal plan
Speaker 3: ahead of time and maybe even bash cooked on the weekend.
Speaker 3: That can help a lot of people actually stick to
Speaker 3: the plan of eating at home instead of eating out,
Speaker 3: because that can be such a backbreaking cost.
Speaker 4: You're making me feel bad. I did that yesterday. I
Speaker 4: was like, I don't feel like cooking.
Speaker 6: I'm going to to my little ginger grass in my
Speaker 6: neighborhood and it was lovely and I have left over,
Speaker 6: so I got two meals in one.
Speaker 3: There you go, two meals in one. And I don't
Speaker 3: want to guilt people into saying like you can't eat out.
Speaker 3: You sort of pen and should like just budget for
Speaker 3: it and make sure you're not doing it like thoughtlessly.
Speaker 3: And another thing that helps me with that is just
Speaker 3: having a few different frozen foods that we know are
Speaker 3: reasonably healthy and then we could pop in in a pinch.
Speaker 3: So like when we weren't planning on eating out, we
Speaker 3: don't eat out. We kind of keep the eating at
Speaker 3: home and eating out budget impact that way.
Speaker 6: Here's my recommendation, and Bill Handle would be happy about
Speaker 6: this because it's from Costco. It's the salmon burgers. They're
Speaker 6: frozen and they make a lovely little meal. You can
Speaker 6: put them on a burger, just eat them as a
Speaker 6: patty and they're kind of last second if you forget
Speaker 6: and you want to eat healthy still, and Credit Jos.
Speaker 3: And Costco both do a great job with like frozen
Speaker 3: pre made meals. So I think, you know, people have
Speaker 3: a lot of options for that, but definitely look towards
Speaker 3: some of those some of those frozen options that can
Speaker 3: be healthy and tafety.
Speaker 6: Okay, So like everything that Joel tells us, we just
Speaker 6: need to plan for it, make sure that we've got
Speaker 6: a plan so we don't overspend, and then go and
Speaker 6: enjoy a good meal. Joel Larsguard, host of How to Money,
