Hey, you know, I didn't have 21 00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:27.239 fog in my neighborhood this morning like yesterday where it 22 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.400 was like thick, thick, thick, like pea soup. But as 23 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.439 I was driving into Burbank, I could see this wall 24 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:35.319 of fog in the valleys. 25 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.079 So not in my area this morning. 26 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:39.760 But as you head out and about you might hit 27 00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:41.959 some dense fogs, So do be careful for that. 28 00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:42.719 Also. 29 00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.079 I'm hoping this isn't a precursor to what today is 30 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:46.480 going to be like. But I went to make my 31 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:51.000 morning oatmeal. There's no spoons, so I'm having oatmeal with 32 00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:51.439 a fork. 33 00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.719 See how that works. Here's what's ahead on wake up call. 34 00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:59.879 A pair of storms moving into southern California, raising fears 35 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:04.239 possible debris and mudflow in recent burn areas. The National 36 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.439 Weather Service says La and Ventura Counties will get a 37 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.960 quarter to three quarters of an inch of rain, but 38 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:12.120 up to an inch and a half is possible in 39 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.599 areas that include the Palisades and Eaten fire burn scars. 40 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.000 A second storm is expected to move through Thursday into 41 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.680 Friday morning. Tariffs on Mexico and Canada have been put 42 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.800 on hold for a month. The decision comes following President 43 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:31.080 Trump's conversations yesterday with Mexico's president and Canada's Prime Minister 44 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:34.719 Justin Trudeau. A ten percent tariff against China's gone into 45 00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:40.039 effect effective at midnight. Tulci Gabbard's nomination for National Intelligence 46 00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:43.159 Director has received a boost with word that main Republican 47 00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.599 Senator Susan Collins is going to support her. Colin said 48 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:50.719 that during the confirmation hearing and closed door meetings, Gabbard 49 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:54.840 satisfied her concerns regarding her views on Edward Snowden. We're 50 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.240 going to be talking with kfi's White House correspondent John 51 00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:59.840 Decker on whether Tulci Gabbard is going to get sent 52 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.680 approval when her nomination goes up for a vote today. 53 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:06.240 That's coming up in about three minutes. Let's get started 54 00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:08.039 with some of the stories coming out of the KFI 55 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.199 twenty four hour newsroom. A stretch of Pacific Coast Highway 56 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.120 in Malibu is going to be closed this afternoon because 57 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:18.680 of the expected rain. Caltran says the highway must be 58 00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:23.120 closed as a precaution because of soft soils between Chautauqua 59 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:26.599 Boulevard and Carbon Beach Terrace. The first storm this week 60 00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:29.840 should arrive sometime tonight. It's going to hit San Luis 61 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:33.639 Obispo and Santa Barbara County is harder than here, but 62 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.000 we are still going to get some rain, and then 63 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.800 another storm, as I mentioned, is moving in later this week. 64 00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:43.080 The Governor's Office of Emergency Services has made preparations for 65 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.280 the heavy rains forecast for much of the state. Cal 66 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.680 Oees Fire and Rescue Chief Brian Marshall says rescue crews 67 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:50.520 are on standby. 68 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:55.240 We have swift water rescue teams that will be available 69 00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:01.120 prepositioned in the event that we have flooding urgencies and 70 00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:02.599 we need to rescue people. 71 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:07.120 Former Early County Sheriff Alex Viannaweva has criticized the lack 72 00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:10.840 of preparation by city and county leaders that he claims 73 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:15.159 cost lives in the recent wildfires in Aueva. Tells kfi's 74 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.879 John Cobalt the delay and evacuations in Alta Dina was inexcusable. 75 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.240 No one was saying, hey, this is a big problem. 76 00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.079 Let's get everybody lined up. 77 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.759 Let's start doing our evacuations in an orderly fashion. 78 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:28.800 None of that happened. 79 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:30.439 It was kind of like, well, let's put our. 80 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:32.040 Finger in the wind and see what we do once 81 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:32.600 we see the. 82 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.439 Fire authority say Nightly curfew orders are still in effect 83 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:38.639 from six pm to six am in the burn areas 84 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.720 in an effort to restrict unnecessary access and prevent looting. 85 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.600 Demonstrators have marched again in downtown LA to oppose President 86 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:48.199 Trump's deportation policies. 87 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.240 Protesters took to the streets and freeways to march and rally. 88 00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:54.519 The past two days, some protesters threw water bottles at police, 89 00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:58.079 and say officers responded by using non lethal force. Nikola 90 00:04:58.160 --> 00:04:59.879 says she came to protest peacefully. 91 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:01.439 I got shot by a Robbert bullet. 92 00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:04.319 But I'm here because I want them to pay attention 93 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.560 to not just myself, but my family as well. 94 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:10.240 By five twenty pm yesterday, the LAPD declared the protest 95 00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:13.279 an unlawful assembly. Crowds began to thin out about an 96 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:16.160 hour later. Andrew Caravella KFI News. 97 00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.600 The protest yesterday was part of a nationwide movement called 98 00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:20.480 a Day Without Immigrants. 99 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:21.639 It's five h six. 100 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:24.920 Let's say good morning now to kfi's White House correspondent 101 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.560 John Decker. So, John, the confirmation train just keeps rolling 102 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:29.240 into the station. 103 00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:30.279 This stop. 104 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:36.279 Tulsi Gabbard, Yeah, Telsey Gabbard. She is President Trump's choice 105 00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.680 to be the next Director of National Intelligence. That's the 106 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:45.279 individual that has oversight over eighteen different intelligence agencies, a 107 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:49.839 really important role. And she got a big booth yesterday. Amy. 108 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:53.480 The reason being is because Senator Susan Collins, she's a 109 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:57.560 Republican from Maine. She's a Republican Senator from Maine who 110 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:02.279 voted against Pete hagsats nomination to be Defense Secretary yesterday. 111 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:06.199 She says she will vote for Tulcy Gabbert for the 112 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:10.199 position of DNI. And that is a big boost because 113 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.720 she was seen as a potential no vote, was on 114 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:16.920 the fence. That may convince other Republican Senators who may 115 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.959 be on the fence to also vote for Tulci Gabbert 116 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.199 when her nomination is taken up by the Senate Intelligence 117 00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:24.000 Committee today. 118 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:26.920 And do we know who the other people are who 119 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.399 may be leaning against or at least on the fence. 120 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.519 I think there's one name that comes up often, and 121 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:39.800 that is Senator Todd Young. He's a Republican Senator from Indiana. 122 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:43.399 He's one of those few Republican senators who did not 123 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:49.800 endorse Donald Trump for president. He's obviously supportive of President 124 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.399 Trump's legislative agenda. At the same time, he's not a 125 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.240 big fan of some of the things that Trump does personally, 126 00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.639 and he keeps an arms length distance from President Donald Trump. 127 00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:03.759 He has not indicated definitively how he will vote on 128 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:08.879 Tulci Gabbert's nomination. You may recall from Pete Hegsseth's confirmation vote, 129 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:14.040 that Republicans can afford to lose three Republican senators if 130 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:18.360 all Democrats vote against the nomination. We saw that happen 131 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:22.759 with Pete Hegsath. You lose four, that's when the nomination 132 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:26.720 is killed. So I think that it's one of those 133 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.800 things that may play out the same way as the 134 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:33.480 Pete Hegseth nomination that we saw within the past two weeks, 135 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:36.399 in which it could be Vice President jd Vance who 136 00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.279 breaks a fifty to fifty tie as it relates to 137 00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:39.920 her nomination. 138 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.800 And what about I think Murkowski and McConnell voted against 139 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:44.399 hag Seth. 140 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.759 Do we know which way they're leaning on this one? 141 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.000 They have not indicated, you know, and I think that 142 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.079 that's going to be interesting to see how they vote. 143 00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.759 This is an important role. The reason why you know, 144 00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.600 you have senators on the Republican side that are wish 145 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.759 you Why she on Tulsey Gabert has to do not 146 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.399 only with how she performed in her confirmation hearing, but 147 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:10.519 more importantly, her record, her record as a US congresswoman 148 00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:17.560 as a Democrat representing Hawaii. Meeting with the leader of Syria, 149 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:23.519 Basher al Assade, taking positions that sound like Russian talking points. 150 00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:26.560 All of that came up in her confirmation hearing. And 151 00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:30.079 for some senators they're not satisfied with the answers that 152 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:31.959 she gave during that confirmation year. 153 00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.399 Okay, well we'll find out if they were, and whether 154 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:38.600 any Democrats might vote for or probably not on this. 155 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:40.840 One, I don't think so. I don't think she's going 156 00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:43.919 to get any Democratic votes. Also, keep in mind today, 157 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:47.399 I'll say this really quickly, Amy. Today, the committee that 158 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:50.440 oversees the Department of Health and Human Services, they will 159 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:53.720 vote on the nomination of our F K. Junior to 160 00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:57.720 be the Secretary of HHS. He too will face a 161 00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:01.000 very tough vote. There are many sensors who have not 162 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:04.200 indicated how they will vote on RFK Junior's nomination. 163 00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:07.080 Okay, so both of them get a committee vote today 164 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:08.440 before it goes to a full Senate. 165 00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:12.759 If it's bad, correct, that's correct. And as it relates 166 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:18.000 to RFK Junior, a lot of focus on Senator Cassidy 167 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.200 from Louisiana. He's a medical doctor by training. He has 168 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:25.080 said he was very dissatisfied with some of the answers 169 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:28.600 that RFK Junior gave to questions he posed during the 170 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.759 confirmation hearing. There's a lot of focus on him and 171 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.559 how he will vote on RFK Junior's nomination. He could 172 00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.519 potentially sink the nomination if he's a no vote when 173 00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:41.240 that vote happens later today. 174 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.919 Okay, and we will be watching. Never a dull moment. 175 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:47.279 Kfi's White House correspondent John Decker, thank you, as always. 176 00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:48.200 We'll talk again soon. 177 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:49.600 Thanks Amy. 178 00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:51.240 All right, let's get back to some of the stories 179 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:54.039 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Officials 180 00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.000 in Washington, d C sand engine and large pieces of 181 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.120 the fuselage from last week's midair crash between a commuter 182 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.960 plane and an Army helicopter have been pulled from the 183 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:07.480 Potomac River. The Army Corps of Engineers expects to remove 184 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.960 the cockpit today. Officials say they've recovered more human remains, 185 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.519 but they didn't give specifics. DC Assistant Fire Chief Gary 186 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.679 Stein says resources are being offered to support the divers 187 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:20.120 who've been recovering remains. 188 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.879 It's tragic and everything imaginable that you can think of, 189 00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:24.799 right that is what they're dealing with day in and 190 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:25.240 day out. 191 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:27.240 So far, fifty five people who died in the crash 192 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:28.240 have been identified. 193 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:29.519 Vice President J. D. 194 00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:33.120 Vance says East Palestine, Ohio will not be forgotten. 195 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:36.000 We are committed not just to finishing the environmental side 196 00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:39.519 the cleanup, but hopefully seeing East Palestine build back better 197 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.399 and stronger and more prosperous than it was before this 198 00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:44.000 disaster happened in the first place. 199 00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:47.720 He visited the community yesterday for the second anniversary of 200 00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:52.120 a Norfolk Southern train derailment that spewed toxic chemicals into 201 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.360 the air and into the ground. New EPA administrator Lee Zelden, 202 00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.679 who joined the VP on the trick about to make 203 00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.799 the cleanup effort in the area his department's highest priority. 204 00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:05.200 Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the president of El 205 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:08.960 Salvador has offered to accept deportees from the US in 206 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:12.159 what Rubio calls an act of extraordinary friendship. 207 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:14.080 MS thirteen, trenda R or whatever it may be. He 208 00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:16.320 has offered his jails so we can send them and 209 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.320 he will put him in in his jails. And he's 210 00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:23.080 also offered to do the same for dangerous criminals currently 211 00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:25.440 in custody of serving their sentences in the United States, 212 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.240 even if they're US citizens or legal residents. 213 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:30.759 A US official says the Trump administration has no plans 214 00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:34.159 to try to deport American citizens, but that the offer 215 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:38.039 was significant. Rights groups have criticized the move, which El 216 00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:41.200 Salvador says will help provide funding to make its harsh 217 00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:44.840 prison system sustainable. The first Marines have landed at the 218 00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:48.840 US military facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. They'll set up 219 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:51.799 a migrant deportation center that may eventually hold up to 220 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:55.720 thirty thousand people. Marine Corps First Sergeant Johnny Stone says 221 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:56.919 it's what they trained for. 222 00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:58.639 At a moment's notice, we get the call. 223 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:01.639 We were in the field training for something like this, 224 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:02.799 and it happened. 225 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.039 We stay ready and we're ready to go, and here 226 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:05.320 we are. 227 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:08.000 The Marines had short notice for this trip, as the 228 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:12.159 command to go was given just late Friday. Israeli Prime 229 00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.440 Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who's in the US, to meet with 230 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:16.120 President Trump at the White House. 231 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:19.639 The meeting this afternoon will. 232 00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:22.159 Be Trump's first with a foreign leader since his inauguration 233 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:25.080 got a little frog in my throat. Netanyahu is looking 234 00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:27.879 to strengthen ties with the US after a sometimes tense 235 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:30.600 relationship with the Biden administration over the warre in Gaza. 236 00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:34.320 Our decisions and the courage of our soldiers have redrawn 237 00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.879 the map, but I believe that working closely with President Trump, 238 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:40.960 we can readraw it even further and for the better. 239 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.200 The meeting comes as negotiations for the second phase of 240 00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:47.360 the ceasefire with Hamas are set to begin this week. 241 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:51.519 Researchers at UC Irvine say listening to jazz could help 242 00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:52.639 reduce chronic pain. 243 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.080 The study offered a variety of music options, but it 244 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.440 was improvisational jazz with a player veers from the usual 245 00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.159 notes of a familiar song that showed the most promise. 246 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:01.840 You see. 247 00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.240 Irvine professor Sean Jung says focusing intently on the music 248 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:08.000 helped cut down the amount of pain. Patients felt. 249 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.639 If we could teach people how to do that, then 250 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.399 it may be able to take their mind off the paint, 251 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:17.919 and that was a goal and ultimately that's what we found. 252 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:20.480 The study was conducted over four weeks and has been 253 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.919 published in the medical journal Curious. Michael Monks KFI News. 254 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.399 I'd try it. I like Jess. 255 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:29.519 Protesters have taken over city streets for a second day 256 00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:33.039 to rally against President Trump's deportation policies. About a thousand 257 00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:36.879 protesters overtook the Spring and Main Street overpasses of the 258 00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:39.039 one oh one yesterday, but police were able to keep 259 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:42.759 them from getting onto the freeway. As residents head back 260 00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:46.240 into the wildfire burn areas, they say, lawyers are swarming 261 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:49.480 trying to get him to sue for damages. Legal experts 262 00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:53.080 tell residents not to rush into representation and question whether 263 00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:56.480 lawyers are being ethical. More than a dozen lawsuits have 264 00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:00.559 already been filed. Ticket prices for Super Bowl fifty nine 265 00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:04.039 have dropped thirty percent over the past week. Prices are 266 00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:07.320 down fifty percent compared to last year's Super Bowl. The 267 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:09.759 least expensive tickets for the Big Game still going for 268 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:12.720 about four thousand dollars. The game, of course, this Sunday 269 00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:16.519 at the Caesars Super Dome. Let's say good morning now 270 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:21.080 to ABC's Karen Travers. Karen, tariffs were supposed to kick 271 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:25.919 in starting at midnight, but last minute verbal agreements with 272 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.519 Mexico and Canada stopped them at least temporarily. 273 00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:32.679 Yeah, they're on pause for a month. According to the 274 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:36.720 President yesterday, after his conversations with the leaders of Mexico 275 00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:39.080 and Canada. He spoke to the President of Mexico in 276 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:41.639 the morning, he spoke to the Prime Minister of Canada 277 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:44.080 in the morning and again in the afternoon, and then 278 00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:46.320 had announced over the course of the day that there 279 00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:49.240 would be a pause for both countries tariffs. But the 280 00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:52.080 President was very clear in the oblosis yesterday that this 281 00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:55.639 is a pause that these could go into effecting the months. 282 00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:58.720 He said, maybe we will, maybe we won't. I think 283 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:01.080 the big thing we're looking for now is what is 284 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:04.120 the metric that he's looking for. What is he judging 285 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:07.039 these two countries on their actions at the border, And 286 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.399 that's not clear at this point that I asked the 287 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.600 White House yesterday what is he looking to see? What 288 00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:15.559 kind of action? And Caroline Levitt, the President's press secretary, 289 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:18.840 could not say what he's trying to do. She said, 290 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:21.960 negotiations will continue, that he's sending down the Secretary of 291 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.960 State and Treasury and Commerce to have high level conversations 292 00:15:25.200 --> 00:15:28.720 with Mexican officials and then after a month bill assess 293 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:30.080 and see where things go from there. 294 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:35.720 Okay, but immediately, or at least you know, immediately end 295 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.799 quotes Mexico and Canada have agreed to send troops to 296 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:40.600 their borders. 297 00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:43.039 They did. 298 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:45.679 Mexico said that they would be sending ten thousand troops 299 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:47.879 to the northern border. But you know, it's important to 300 00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:49.799 note that, yes, the White House said yesterday these would 301 00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:52.480 be permanent troops. They have done this in the past. 302 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:53.120 There have been. 303 00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:54.279 Troops there at the border. 304 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:57.000 It's not a new concept for them, a new action 305 00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:59.840 for them. Canada had said that they were going to 306 00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:02.720 do one point three billion dollar border plan. Important to 307 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:04.960 note that this is announced back in December. They had 308 00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:07.799 already talked about the details of this. Yesterday they added 309 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:09.559 on some new details, saying that they were going to 310 00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:13.320 appoint that Fentinel zur launch a joint task force with 311 00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:17.279 the United States aimed at border security and addressing the 312 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:20.000 sentinel issue. But the Mexican excuse me, The Canadians have 313 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:22.519 been very perplexed in the word they keep using as 314 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.399 to why they've been targeted on tariffs on this specific issue, 315 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.759 because they say that the sentinel coming over the border 316 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.240 between the US and Canada is nothing compared to what 317 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.480 you're seeing at the southern border, and therefore they're very 318 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:38.759 surprised why this has been the issue that the President 319 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.200 has euroede in on at the northern border, okay. 320 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:45.519 And then so we've got pauses on Mexico and Canada, 321 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:48.519 but there has been no movement on China. So those 322 00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:50.279 tariffs did go into effect at midnight. 323 00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:51.200 They did. 324 00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:54.720 They went into effect at midnight as expected. There was 325 00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:57.200 no indication yesterday that there was going to be a 326 00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:59.840 pause on those tariffs, and also the expectation was that 327 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:04.000 it would retaliate, and they did swiftly. Beijing announced tariffs 328 00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:07.799 on American goods like coal, liquefied natural gas, crude oil, 329 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.960 agricultural machinery, and pickup trucks. And they've also said that 330 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:14.079 they think that this was the wrong action by the 331 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:16.920 United States and they're urging the administration to back down 332 00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:19.839 on this. We are expecting the President and China's President 333 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:21.799 g to have a conversation on the phone in the 334 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:24.200 next couple of days. Not clear if that's going to 335 00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:27.680 take place before the Chinese tariff's go into effect, which. 336 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:30.519 Is next week, okay, And the tariffs for China. Just 337 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.599 make sure that we have it clear. It's on those 338 00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:36.920 the coal and the liquid natural guess that's all on 339 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:39.359 products that are going to China. 340 00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:44.599 Yes, on American goods going from the US to China. 341 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:48.559 Okay, and then we don't even have time to talk 342 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:50.839 about it. But Trump is hinting that tariffs could be 343 00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:52.799 slapped on European Union countries too. 344 00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:55.759 Yeah, He's been saying that for some time and again 345 00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:59.400 reiterated that yesterday, talking about targeting the European Union too. 346 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.279 ABC's Karen Travers, thank you so much, as always appreciate 347 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:03.880 the information. 348 00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:05.720 I have a great day. 349 00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:06.079 Okay. 350 00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:09.559 We're just getting word into the KFI newsroom that five 351 00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:14.240 people have been shot at an adult education center in Sweden. 352 00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:16.480 We'll get you more details as more comes in. 353 00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:20.119 The La County Medical Examiner's Office has identified two more 354 00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:23.839 people in the fire in the Pacific Palisades area. That 355 00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:26.440 brings the death toll from the fire to twelve. The 356 00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:29.279 Eton Fire that burned through parts of Altadena and Pasadena 357 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:34.039 killed seventeen people. Fourteen members of Congress from southern California 358 00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:37.759 are starting an investigation into the emergency alerts that went 359 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:40.960 out by mistake during the fires in La County.
