Jackie and Shadow laid 20 00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:36.719 three eggs. One is completely hatched and he's a little fluffball. 21 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:38.519 And then the other one. I just got to look 22 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:41.400 at it about half hour ago, and he's about half 23 00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.400 out of his shell. The shell's completely cracked and he's 24 00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:47.159 pretty much out. So we're gonna be actually talking to 25 00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:50.760 Sandy Steers with friends of Big Bear Valley. They're the 26 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:52.799 ones who put that camera up in the nest so 27 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.280 we can watch this miracle of nature.

I love pancakes. I think Carla 33 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.560 the editor said, Oh, I made pancakes for dinner last 34 00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:13.479 night to celebrate pancake Day. And I'm like, you know what, 35 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:17.199 that sounds good. I think that's a great idea. Okay, 36 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.599 here's what's ahead on wake up Call. Thirty officers at 37 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:24.599 the Los Padrino's Juvenile Detention Facility have been charged for 38 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.759 their involvement in gladiators style fights between kids at the 39 00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:33.000 detention center. State ag rob Bonte says nearly seventy fights 40 00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.599 happened between July and December of twenty twenty. Three kids 41 00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:39.159 between twelve and eighteen were involved. The AG says the 42 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:44.159 officers allowed and even encouraged the fights. California Democratic Senator 43 00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:47.120 Adam Schiff is bringing a firefighter with him to President 44 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.840 Trump's speech before a joint session of Congress. Captain Vincent 45 00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.759 Culliver is a veteran firefighter with the Department of Defense 46 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.199 at Vandenberg Space Force Space and helped fight the wildfire 47 00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.479 and out to Dina. ABC's Karen Travers going to tell 48 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.120 us what the President plans to talk about tonight, and 49 00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:07.080 also about the tariffs that just went into effect overnight 50 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.439 and how other countries are responding to it. As I mentioned, 51 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:14.240 an eaglet has landed. The first of three bald eagle 52 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.360 eggs is completely out, the second one is almost there, 53 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:20.080 and then we're waiting to see if the third one 54 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.319 is going to hatch. And again we'll be talking with 55 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:26.039 Sandy at Friends of Big Bear Valley coming up at 56 00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:29.560 the bottom of the hour, doom spending, What is it? 57 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.879 Are you doing it? And should you be? The host 58 00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.439 of How to Money on KFI. Joel Larsgard is going 59 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.680 to tell us all about that. Let's get started with 60 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.159 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 61 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.159 four hour newsroom. Former LA fire chief Kristin Crowley is 62 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:44.919 expected to ask for her job back today. 63 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.400 The city charter says she has the right to appeal 64 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:49.960 her firing by Mayor bass, but she'll need ten of 65 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.599 fifteen members of the City council to take her side. 66 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.280 Crowley filed her appeal last week. The vote has been 67 00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:57.400 fast tracked and the council will take it up today. 68 00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.759 Four council members have publicly supported bast firing of the 69 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.759 fire chief over the mayor's belief that Crowley wasn't prepared 70 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.759 or communicative leading up to the Palisades fire. A fifth 71 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.879 council member has supported the mayor's right to fire the chief. 72 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:11.800 Crowley would need to run the table on the other 73 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.000 ten to be reinstated. Michael Monks KFI News. 74 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.279 Michael's gonna have live coverage throughout the day from La 75 00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.439 City Hall. The La City Council is also set to 76 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:25.839 vote on a proposal to provide eviction protections for nannies, gardeners, 77 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:29.399 and others impacted financially by the wildfires in January. The 78 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:33.079 proposal's aim is to provide a defense for non payment 79 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.079 of rent and no fault evictions for renters who can 80 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.800 show proof of economic hardship because of the fires. City 81 00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.600 council was split on proposed protections last month. The Department 82 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:47.319 of Justice has announced the dismantling of a human smuggling 83 00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.800 ring in La and the indictment of four alleged smugglers. 84 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:57.240 Acting US Attorney Joseph McNally yesterday said the alleged ring 85 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:02.319 leader is Eduardo Domingo Renault, which they held individuals smuggled 86 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:07.639 hostage for months, threaten them and their family members with violence, 87 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:13.120 and others, including children, were killed in a horrific car 88 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.959 crash in Oklahoma in twenty twenty three. McNally says those 89 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.759 deaths make Renoj Matoul and other members of his alleged 90 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:23.759 gang eligible for the death penalty. The so called Turco 91 00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:31.240 transnational criminal organization operated out of La smuggling undocumented Guatemalan 92 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.759 nationals to Phoenix in other parts of the country. Let's 93 00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:39.040 say good morning now to ABC's Jordana Miller, who is 94 00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:43.879 in Jerusalem. Jordana, the Arab countries do not like President 95 00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.680 Trump's idea to clear out the Gaza Strip and rebuild 96 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.519 it as the riviera of the Middle East and relocate 97 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:52.439 all the Palestinians. So apparently they're going to put together 98 00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:53.120 a plan of their. 99 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.639 Own, that's right, and they're working on that today. Out 100 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:03.000 of Cairo, there's an Arab summit underway, and it's likely 101 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:05.439 this is being led by the Egyptians, by the way, 102 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.399 It's likely they're going to put on the table a 103 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:13.879 plan for regional governance of the Gaza Strip that is 104 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:19.839 some kind of technocratic government made up of different leaders 105 00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:24.720 either Egypt, Jordan, maybe some of the Palestinians, but not 106 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:32.079 local Palestinians, and you know, support to train a police 107 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.199 force that could come in. Right. The whole idea is, 108 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:41.800 you know, with this ceasefire, we need to you know 109 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.879 the world needs to see hamas step aside. Right, they 110 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.040 can't be running the Gaza Strip. They can't have a 111 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:52.160 you know, their own military or army that competes with 112 00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:56.000 the official army of the Gaza Strip. So the Arab 113 00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.720 States are going to put that on the table, and 114 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.839 you know, as an altarlternative to what they see as 115 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.680 a very radical plan by President Trump that they want 116 00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:08.600 to avoid, certainly because it also includes the displacement of 117 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:10.120 so many Palestinians. 118 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.519 Yeah, like two million of them. And where that's right. 119 00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.040 Where are you going to put it and where would 120 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.480 they exactly exactly and more than that, you know, we 121 00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:22.560 don't talk about this amy, but President Trump's plan you know, 122 00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.480 when you think it through in the bigger picture, what 123 00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.199 it really does is it takes the Gaza strip out 124 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:34.160 of any future Palestinian state. And that's very problematic, not 125 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:37.800 only for the Palestinians, but for the region, you know, 126 00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:43.199 because then what is already considered a small area that 127 00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.759 is being divided between Israel and the Palestinians, right, the 128 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.639 West Bank Israel proper and Gaza. Take Gaza out of it, 129 00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:52.720 you're left with just the West Bank and eas to read. 130 00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:57.680 Right, Yeah, and Jordana, I have a question for you. 131 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.759 Do most of the Arab countries support that two state 132 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:02.800 solution idea that everybody talks about. 133 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:08.639 They do they do that? You know, the Arab or 134 00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:11.079 you know, the air world by and large supports a 135 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:16.720 two state solution that is Jordan, Egypt, the Amoradis, the Baharinis, 136 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:20.800 the Saudis, and they say even you know, as far 137 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.759 as the Kingdom, the Saudi Kingdom is concerned. They don't 138 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:27.439 want to normalize ties with Israel unless there is a 139 00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:32.600 path to statehood for the Palestinians. I mean, the only 140 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:36.720 people in the region who still support, you know, an 141 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:41.279 extreme agenda where Israel basically doesn't exist and you know, 142 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:44.639 the Palestinians try to take back all of Israel, right, 143 00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:47.639 that chant from the river to the sea. That sadly, 144 00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:51.559 so many young smart Americans say on on campuses that 145 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:53.320 they don't understand what they're chanting for. 146 00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:54.240 Is know Israel? 147 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:54.639 Right. 148 00:08:55.000 --> 00:09:02.120 The only ones who support that are Hamas, Husbalalah isis Aroan, right, 149 00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:06.120 all the bad players in the region who are still 150 00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:11.240 interested in trying to you know, wipe out Israel or 151 00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.519 you know, or render it, you know, a country with 152 00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:19.559 little power here in the region. But you know, the 153 00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:23.240 tide for for a while now, the tide has been changing, 154 00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:25.679 not only would the Oslo piece of Cords, but with 155 00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:28.960 the Abraham Accords. And President Trump has made it clear 156 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:32.360 he wants to make peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia. 157 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.600 And on that road, he has to solve the problem 158 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:38.480 in Gaza. He has to get Hamas out and he's 159 00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:41.440 asking the region to come up with solutions to get 160 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:41.919 them out. 161 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:42.399 Right. 162 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:44.879 So that's what we're seeing. 163 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.879 Okay, And and they're meeting this week. Do you I mean, 164 00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.519 are they going to come up with a quick answer 165 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:53.679 and say here, President Trump, here is our option, or 166 00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:55.480 is this going to be something that this is just 167 00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:57.080 the starting of the conversation. 168 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.039 What we do anticipate they're going to put out some 169 00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.039 kind of joint statement after the summit. It may you know, 170 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:13.600 it be could come tomorrow, Okay, watching we will see, Yeah, yeah, 171 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.679 we'll be watching for it and hopefully it'll you know, 172 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.519 something will will give so that we can move We also, 173 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:22.559 you know, the ceafire talks are stuck right now, so 174 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.120 we also have to get those going again. But we 175 00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:28.799 expect Steve Woodcoff, President Trump's envoy to come here to 176 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:32.399 the region after the State of the Union address sometime 177 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:34.279 later in the week, perhaps the weekend. 178 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:37.879 Okay, Jerdona Miller Injurusalem, thank you so much, appreciate the 179 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.279 information as always. 180 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:39.559 Thanks Jamie. 181 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:41.879 All Right, that's up too, but you got it. Let's 182 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:43.279 get back to some of the stories coming out of 183 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.399 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A Republican assemblyman says 184 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.600 he's been kicked off the California Budget Committee for shining 185 00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:53.039 a light on what he calls questionable spending. San Diego 186 00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:57.039 Assemblyman Carl Demiel told kfi's John Cobelt yesterday that his 187 00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:59.679 goal is to bring an end to the misuse of 188 00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:00.679 tech dollars. 189 00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:04.320 What we're doing is working with outside whistleblowers, outside resources, 190 00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:09.159 outside investigators, and the very hard working but limited staff 191 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:11.559 I have in my Assembly office to do this work. 192 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:14.759 Demayo says he found the state budget allocated twenty five 193 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:17.639 million dollars to a COVID program, but says the money 194 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:21.720 is going to special interest groups instead. The Trump administration 195 00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:25.879 has paused military aid to Ukraine, days after President Zelenski's 196 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:29.240 intense meeting with President Trump and Vice President Vance at 197 00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:29.919 the White House. 198 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:32.919 Your country is in big trouble. I know you're not 199 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:34.320 winning all You're not winning this. 200 00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:37.200 Trump has directed the US to pause all assistance to 201 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:39.919 Ukraine as he tries to pressure Zelenski to engage in 202 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.120 peace talks with Russia. Trump criticized Olenski yesterday for saying 203 00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:46.840 that the end of the war is still likely, very 204 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:50.919 very far away. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the army 205 00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:53.919 post in Georgia that was previously known as Fort Benning 206 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:58.360 and then changed to Fort Moore is now Fort Benning again. 207 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.720 ABC Stephen Portnoys's com Ungriss retired the name four years ago. 208 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.000 Rather than honoring a Confederate Brigadier general the Benning now 209 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:07.759 being honored was a hero of World War One. Corporal 210 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:10.519 Fred Benning was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his 211 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:12.279 action in France in nineteen eighteen. 212 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.559 He says the change follows a similar move by Hegseeth 213 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:19.240 to rename Fort Bragg in North Carolina. The Brag now 214 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:22.240 honored received the Silver Star for service in World War II. 215 00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:25.759 Forever twenty one says it's falling on hard times as 216 00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:30.000 more people are buying clothes online. ABC's Alex Stone says, 217 00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:34.240 once synonymous with early two thousand's fashion, the chain is 218 00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:36.840 closing its corporate headquarters in La. 219 00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:39.440 Forever twenty one has suffered as it's tried to compete 220 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:42.240 with online Chinese discount retailers like Timu. 221 00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:44.480 The company is hoping to be bought to avoid his 222 00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:45.639 second bankruptcy. 223 00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:48.440 Stone says three hundred and fifty workers in La will 224 00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:53.399 be laid off next month. Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles, 225 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:56.279 Santa Ana, and Riverside have charged one hundred and twenty 226 00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.960 six people for coming back to the US after they 227 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:02.480 were deported thirty s Many the defendants had previously been 228 00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:07.120 convicted of felonies before being deported, including manslaughter and crimes 229 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:10.559 against children. The City of Huntington Beach has been sued 230 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:14.000 for restricting access to books at city run public libraries. 231 00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:17.799 The suit was filed by two teens, a transgender advocacy group, 232 00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:21.240 and the ACLU of Southern California. Huntington Beach City Council 233 00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:24.360 passed a resolution in twenty twenty three to restrict certain 234 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:27.519 library materials to miners if they don't have the consent 235 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:30.279 of their parent or guardian. By the year twenty fifty, 236 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:33.080 a new report predicts that more than half of adults 237 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.440 around the world will be obese. The analysis in The 238 00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:40.919 Lancet also predicts a third of children will be overweight. 239 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:44.000 Experts warn if the trends don't change, the impact on 240 00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:49.120 health and an economy will be well massive. At six 241 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:51.679 oh five, it's handled on the news. President Trump has 242 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.639 just made things a whole lot more difficult for Ukraine's 243 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:56.759 ability to fight Russia. Bill's going to tell you about 244 00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:00.360 that right now. Let's say good morning to ABC sees 245 00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:04.000 Karen Travers. Karen, President Trump says the tariffs against Mexico 246 00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:06.840 and Canada are in effect. 247 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.159 Yeah, they went into effect at midnight last night. This 248 00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:12.519 is a twenty five percent tariff on all products coming 249 00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:15.600 into the US from Mexico and Canada. And he also 250 00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:18.759 added another ten percent tariff on top of what had 251 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.320 already existed on Chinese goods. So that's just kind of 252 00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:25.080 adding to what had already been in place there, the 253 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:28.480 President said yesterday. Tariffs are easy, they're fast, they're efficient, 254 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.759 and they bring fairness. But economists are saying they're also 255 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:35.639 likely to bring price increases for American consumers. That the 256 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.879 cost for these American importers who are bringing things in 257 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:43.039 from Mexico, Canada, and China, but especially Mexico and Canada, 258 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.440 it's going to get passed on to Americans through pricing increases, 259 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:49.039 and likely within days you could start seeing this at 260 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:52.519 the grocery store because it's about half I think it 261 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:55.559 is sixty three percent actually of our vegetables come into 262 00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:59.919 the US from Mexico. So you can't stockpile fresh vegetables 263 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:02.600 get them in before the teriffs go into effect. And 264 00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:06.120 so when you in a week start bringing in stuff 265 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:08.919 or in the next couple of days from Mexico, you're 266 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:11.279 paying a twenty five percent text on top of that 267 00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:13.240 and they're going to pass that on and you know, 268 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:15.080 just think about what that means for the products then 269 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:16.399 that you're buying at the grocery store. 270 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:19.679 Yeah, and so, Karen, why are the tariffs now because 271 00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:23.639 didn't both Mexico and Canada do what President Trump said 272 00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:26.320 he wanted them to do, and that is start enforcing 273 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:26.840 the border. 274 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:30.279 They did something, but it wasn't enough, but it's also 275 00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:32.039 not clear what he actually wants them to do. 276 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:33.360 Yeah, what is enough border? 277 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:35.720 I mean, they've been doing that, right, I mean, it's 278 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.320 that's the thing. Canada is says they're very bewildered why 279 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:42.519 they're being targeted on the fentanyl issue when less than 280 00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:45.639 one percent of the fentanyl that is seized coming into 281 00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.840 this country comes across the US Canada border, so it's 282 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:51.279 not an issue at the northern border, and they say 283 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:53.159 they don't know what they're supposed to be doing about that. 284 00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:55.559 I mean, it's just not the big thing there. They 285 00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:57.960 appointed a sentinel zar, which was you know, in some 286 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:00.519 ways maybe optics, just to say, hey, we're doing something. 287 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:04.320 Mexico sent ten thousand troops National Guard troops to their 288 00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:08.399 northern border and permanent capacity. The White House applauded that 289 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:10.919 a month ago. But again the issue of what did 290 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:13.879 the president want to see? We've asked this question numerous times. 291 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.679 What metrics is he judging these countries? And the White 292 00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:18.919 House has not said okay. 293 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.799 And then so we know at least why the President 294 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:27.679 said he was going to do the terraffs on Mexico 295 00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:31.679 and Canada. And initially he announced ten percent on China, 296 00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.039 but then hood that to twenty percent. What's the beef 297 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:36.360 with China just overall. 298 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:40.240 Ten percent already on what had been ten percent, So 299 00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:43.279 he's just adding tarifs onto China because they already existed. 300 00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:47.080 These tarriffs on Mexico and Canada are new, completely new. 301 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:50.320 China already had some, so he's just you know, increasing 302 00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:52.720 it on top of what's there. This is again just 303 00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:54.919 for the president. He says, this is about fairness. This 304 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:57.960 is about countries not treating the US fairly in his view, 305 00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:00.519 and he uses terrorists, as he said, you know, as 306 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.320 like a punishment tool that you know, these countries now 307 00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:04.519 can be punished by tariff. 308 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:07.799 Okay. I would imagine that Trump's going to be talking 309 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:11.079 about tariffs when he addresses the Joint Session of Congress tonight. 310 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:12.359 Yeah. 311 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:14.240 I think this will be a part of his remarks 312 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:16.279 on the economy, which is one of the four sections 313 00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:18.720 the White House says he will be zeroing in on. 314 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:20.839 He'll talk about his record so far in office. He'll 315 00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:23.559 talk about the economy, he'll talk about border security and 316 00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:25.640 what the White House says are his plans for peace 317 00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:26.480 around the world. 318 00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:31.759 Okay, And we've heard that a lot of people are 319 00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:33.799 bringing guests as they normally do for the State of 320 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:35.920 the Union address, even though this isn't a State of 321 00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:39.279 the Union. Do we know of who of the some 322 00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:40.400 of those people are going to be. 323 00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:44.519 Yeah, the White House just announced the President will have 324 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:47.000 some guests in the first Lady's box, including Mark Fogeld, 325 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:50.279 the American who's recently released from a Russian prison. They've 326 00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.880 also invited the family of Corey Compromatory, who the firefighter 327 00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:56.200 who was killed at the Butler Rally last summer. 328 00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:59.279 Okay, and then I know that we've got Adam Schiff 329 00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:03.720 is taking Space Force. No, he's not. He works at 330 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:07.240 Space Force. I don't believe he's Maybe he is a guardian. 331 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.279 But there's a firefighter who helped with the fires in 332 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.200 southern California is going with our representative Adam Schiff. So 333 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:19.000 I think a number of people are bringing special guests 334 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:21.200 to make a political point. 335 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:23.799 Yes, they will be. 336 00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:26.440 Okay. We have a lot of rumblings too. The Democrats 337 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:28.920 are being encouraged to skip the speech. Do we know 338 00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:29.720 if that's going to happen. 339 00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:35.720 I don't. We haven't heard any you know, mass announcements 340 00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:36.079 of that. 341 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:36.599 We'll see. 342 00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:38.880 I think people are also planning to bring people and 343 00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:42.759 make points about federal firings and workforce reductions by the 344 00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:44.559 guests that they're going to bring. But I'm going to 345 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:46.960 have to leave it there and jump. 346 00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:49.319 Oh okay, so sorry, I didn't realize you had a 347 00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:51.599 heart out today, Karen Travers, thank you so much. Thank 348 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:52.559 you all right, take care. 349 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:53.240 Thanks. 350 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:55.160 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out 351 00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:59.119 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Governor Newsom is 352 00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:02.519 ordering state employees back to the office for at least 353 00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:05.720 four days a week. He signed an executive order yesterday 354 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:09.480 that allows for telework flexibility on a case by case basis. 355 00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:13.119 The order also directs cal HR to streamline the hiring 356 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:16.160 process for former federal employees who are looking for jobs 357 00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:21.039 in firefighting, forest management, and weather forecasting. The changes kick 358 00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:24.359 in in July. Weather experts in California are warning that 359 00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:27.000 recent budget cuts to the National Weather Service and the 360 00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:31.319 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration could put people at risk. 361 00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:35.039 Eugene Cordero, with the Department of Meteorology and Climate Science 362 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:39.279 at San Jose State University says the cuts are undermining science. 363 00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:42.720 We need to know when the rain's coming, how strong 364 00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:45.519 the winds are. Those are like critical pieces of information 365 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:49.319 so that emergency responders have good data they can work 366 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:50.599 and help save lives. 367 00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:53.000 The Trump administration is laid off more than six hundred 368 00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:56.839 employees from the agencies, raising concerns that some weather service 369 00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:01.200 offices that are staffed around the clock may close.
