Speaker 1: lot of traffic for me coming in, Yes, and that
Speaker 1: was at three thirty. I don't, okay, So a lot
Speaker 1: is like ten cars.
Speaker 4: A lot of people are awake.
Speaker 1: I wonder if it's because next week is fourth of
Speaker 1: July and people are just they're getting out and taking
Speaker 1: the whole week off or something.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Okay, here's something else. I want to know where the
Speaker 1: heck are Sunny and Gizmo. Oh my eagles. I thought
Speaker 1: I saw some movement in the nest this morning, but
Speaker 1: now the light is breaking on the nest high above
Speaker 1: Big Bear, like, I don't see a darn thing. So
Speaker 1: I know they're growing up and it's harder to catch
Speaker 1: glimpses of them. But you know, friends of Big Bear
Speaker 1: Valley is still keeping an eye out, and they post
Speaker 1: pictures and stuff when you see him flying, when they
Speaker 1: see him flying around and perched in other trees.
Speaker 5: But they're just they're not the nest anymore.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna have to find a new obsession, seriously.
Speaker 1: Disneyland maybe, Well that's an ongoing obsession along with Dodgers games.
Speaker 1: So I'll find something else, all right. Here's what's ahead
Speaker 1: on wake up Call. The Metro Board of Directors has
Speaker 1: advanced emotion instructing the agency staff to update policies regarding
Speaker 1: station closures during protests in downtown LA. The Little Tokyo
Speaker 1: train station was closed between June eighth and thirteenth, four
Speaker 1: about eight to twelve hours a day. Other downtown stations
Speaker 1: were also temporarily closed. Downtown bus services were re routed
Speaker 1: during that timeframe, and a lot of complaints came in
Speaker 1: because people got stranded. Governor Newsom is expected to sign
Speaker 1: the state's budget today a deal today. The budget has
Speaker 1: changes that include increasing housing construction that bypassed the California
Speaker 1: Environmental Quality Act and exemptions for new homes to be
Speaker 1: built in urban areas. Newsom is urging lawmakers to pass
Speaker 1: the changes and says failing to do so could threaten
Speaker 1: other areas.
Speaker 5: Of the budget.
Speaker 1: Police are investigating a break in at Brad Pitt's home
Speaker 1: in Los Felis.
Speaker 5: Pitt isn't at home.
Speaker 1: He's on the road promoting his latest movie, f One
Speaker 1: that debuts in theaters today. The home was broken into
Speaker 1: Wednesday night. Police say the burglars broke in through a
Speaker 1: front window, stole some stuff, and ransacked the place. Okay,
Speaker 1: so there are scams on the elderly, there are scams
Speaker 1: from the DMV, there's scams from the Sheriff's department. And
Speaker 1: now if you've got student loans, there are scams for
Speaker 1: that too. ABC's Jim Ryan's gonna clue us in on
Speaker 1: the latest in about three minutes, the planning for US
Speaker 1: air strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities with no fly by
Speaker 1: night operation.
Speaker 5: You see what I did, even though they flew at night.
Speaker 1: ABC's Karen Travers is going to join us at five
Speaker 1: twenty to tell us about the plans that were fifteen
Speaker 1: years in the making with more and more people renting
Speaker 1: instead of buying. We're gonna do a little apartment therapy
Speaker 1: with the host of Home on KFI, Dean Sharp.
Speaker 5: That's at the bottom of the hour, and then at.
Speaker 1: Five point fifty you may want to race to movie
Speaker 1: theaters this weekend. ABC's Will Gans is going to tell
Speaker 1: us why let's get started with some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The
Speaker 1: LA Department of Water and Power says the Santa Ynez
Speaker 1: Reservoir in the Pacific Palisades is finally back online. It
Speaker 1: was out of service and empty since early last year
Speaker 1: because its cover had a tear in it and it
Speaker 1: needed to be fixed. The reservoir was empty at the
Speaker 1: time of the wildfires in January. News brought to you
Speaker 1: by Sit and Sleep. Some lawmakers in California say President
Speaker 1: Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard to support immigration
Speaker 1: raids in La is hindering fire and drug enforcement response.
Speaker 1: Democrat State Senator Ben Allen, who represents the Pacific Palisades,
Speaker 1: says the Guard members who are part of the state's
Speaker 1: firefighting unit are only at forty percent capacity.
Speaker 8: It's just lame that we don't have access to the
Speaker 8: Guard right now to do that sort of work.
Speaker 1: Four without and California National Guard members are supporting the
Speaker 1: ice rates. Three cities in La County that are predominantly
Speaker 1: Hispanic have canceled or postponed Fourth of July celebrations. Officials
Speaker 1: in Bell Gardens, Huntington Park, and Cutahee say it's because
Speaker 1: of the ongoing immigration raids. Bell Gardens Mayor orhel Chevez
Speaker 1: tells KTLA his city is encouraging people to stay at
Speaker 1: home to celebrate.
Speaker 9: These federal agents, these bounty hunters, whatever they are, because
Speaker 9: they're not identifying themselves. They're coming out picking people up
Speaker 9: walking across the street and they're not even no questions asked.
Speaker 9: You're taking you in a car.
Speaker 1: A report by the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of
Speaker 1: La or CHURLA says Bell Gardens is one of the
Speaker 1: communities impacted the most by ice raids, and LA is
Speaker 1: ranked in the top ten best places in the US
Speaker 1: to celebrate the fourth of July. A study by luggage
Speaker 1: storage network bounce dot com analyzes cities that offer the
Speaker 1: best blend of atmosphere and affordability based on things like
Speaker 1: average hotel prices, parade schedules, historical weather. LA checks in
Speaker 1: at number ten. San Francisco and San Diego are ranked
Speaker 1: even higher, but the survey says the top spot in
Speaker 1: the country to celebrate Independence Day is New York City.
Speaker 1: We wake up call, let's say good morning to ABC's
Speaker 1: Jim Ryan. So, Jim, it seems like every time we
Speaker 1: talk we're talking about a new scam.
Speaker 5: So you got another one for us.
Speaker 10: Yeah, this one really goes both directions. It's two scams
Speaker 10: in one if you will, all of it involving colleges.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I told two friends, they told two friends, they told AI,
Speaker 10: and AI made an application for a student loan based
Speaker 10: on a ghost student. So yeah, these are real things.
Speaker 10: So much of the loan application process now and student assistance.
Speaker 10: You know, the financial aid is done online right that
Speaker 10: students don't walk in in person anymore and sit down
Speaker 10: in front of a registrar or a financial aid person
Speaker 10: then fill out applications. It's all done online. That has
Speaker 10: opened up the floodgates to AI induced fraud. Right, So
Speaker 10: scammers out there use the personal data of actual people,
Speaker 10: their names, addresses, social security numbers, other data to make
Speaker 10: applications for student loans, right. And the colleges want to
Speaker 10: get kids in those seats, and so they grant the loans.
Speaker 10: Then the scammer disappears with the money. In the meantime,
Speaker 10: these and especially if it's an online course that you're
Speaker 10: trying to enroll in, you may find that it's full
Speaker 10: of ghost students and there are no more seats because
Speaker 10: you know, quote seats, because they've all been taken up
Speaker 10: by these scammers and their ghost students.
Speaker 1: Okay, so, like, how do you protect yourself from this one, because,
Speaker 1: like you said, it looks legit.
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, these of course are targeting colleges and universities
Speaker 10: and they're financial aid offices. But you also have the
Speaker 10: other kind of scam number two here, and that is
Speaker 10: the scams that target student borrowers or their parents who
Speaker 10: are trying to get their kids educations paid for. So
Speaker 10: you have debt relief companies that promise there they can
Speaker 10: help out with student loan forgiveness, or companies that will
Speaker 10: help you with the loan application process. But remember FAFSA.
Speaker 10: FAFSA is the Federal student Aid. The first staff stands
Speaker 10: for free, Free application for Federal Student Aid. You shouldn't
Speaker 10: have to pay a fee to apply for a FAFTS
Speaker 10: A loan. That's the one big red flag here. And
Speaker 10: like any scam, you're being pushed into acting now. Hurry, hurry.
Speaker 1: So those are maybe some buzzwords to look for. It
Speaker 1: look for, you know, when they want you to pay upfront,
Speaker 1: or when they're like saying, oh, don't wait, there's this
Speaker 1: you know sale only today or something like that.
Speaker 10: Okay, right, And in this case it's student loans and
Speaker 10: you know you need to get in here and you
Speaker 10: need to apply for it right now, and you need
Speaker 10: to have us help you in order to get to
Speaker 10: that student loan or that loan forgiveness.
Speaker 1: Which is it's sort of a double edged sword too,
Speaker 1: because some people who might not be that savvy with
Speaker 1: it would rather have somebody help them kind of help
Speaker 1: navigate the student loan process.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Absolutely, And it's a complicated process or it can be
Speaker 10: and especially if you're doing it totally online, you might
Speaker 10: think that, Okay, I can get some help from a
Speaker 10: person who really knows what they're doing. Well, that person
Speaker 10: may or may not be working in your best interest,
Speaker 10: may just be looking for that fee that they're asking
Speaker 10: that you pay.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you just need to do your due diligence,
Speaker 1: don't trust anything, and crush your fingers and hope for
Speaker 1: the best.
Speaker 10: That's it. That's it. And if you do get scammed,
Speaker 10: get in touch with your bank, get in touch with
Speaker 10: you know, the actual university, and try to make good.
Speaker 5: Geez, they're just doing it everywhere. Okay.
Speaker 1: ABC's Jim Ryan, thank you for alerting us to this
Speaker 1: latest scam because I know that it's probably student loan
Speaker 1: time too, because it's June and with people going to.
Speaker 5: College in the fall, now's the time.
Speaker 1: All right, Thank you so much. Have a good weekend.
Speaker 1: We had a weird little delay on that one, but
Speaker 1: we made it through.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 5: The Supreme Court's term is almost over.
Speaker 1: They wrap up today and before that we're expecting to
Speaker 1: get decisions on the six cases still outstanding. They include
Speaker 1: age verification for online pornography, preventative care under Obamacare, opt
Speaker 1: out rights for kids, lgt LGBTQ books, and President Trump's
Speaker 1: birthright Citizenship executive order.
Speaker 5: That's a big one.
Speaker 1: ABC's Devin Dwyer s's justices have heard arguments on whether
Speaker 1: judges can block Trump's order to end birthright citizenship.
Speaker 11: The decision today will likely focus almost perhaps entirely on
Speaker 11: that issue, and I should add that might even be
Speaker 11: more consequential than the issue of citizenship itself.
Speaker 1: The fourteenth Constitutional Amendment grants the right to citizenship for
Speaker 1: every baby born in the US. Times winding down for
Speaker 1: Republican lawmakers who want to pass President Trump's so called
Speaker 1: One Big Beautiful Bill by the fourth of July. Michigan
Speaker 1: Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin says her party is trying to
Speaker 1: get Republicans to vote against the bill, which includes significant
Speaker 1: cuts to medicaid funding.
Speaker 12: At the end of the day, the President is trying
Speaker 12: to browbeat people into voting for this thing and soon,
Speaker 12: and so it's going to be up to my Republican
Speaker 12: colleagues whether they have a spine on these issues or not.
Speaker 1: The Senate parliamentarian has advised a medicaid provider tax overhaul
Speaker 1: central to Trump's bill does not meet procedural rules. The
Speaker 1: defense will give closing arguments today in the trial of
Speaker 1: music mogul Sean Combs. ABC's Aaron Katursky says Combs is
Speaker 1: pleaded not guilty to all sex trafficking and racketeering charges
Speaker 1: against him.
Speaker 13: He was rather calm and occasionally he would write notes
Speaker 13: to his lawyers. If he heard something that he may
Speaker 13: not have liked, he gestured to his family, put his
Speaker 13: head and over his heart.
Speaker 1: Prosecutors wrapped their closing arguments yesterday. An elderly woman in
Speaker 1: Florida says she's lucky to have survived a tornado that
Speaker 1: tore through her retirement community. Seventy six year old Deborah
Speaker 1: Metler says she was inside when the tornado hit her home.
Speaker 5: I didn't realize I was actually up in the air.
Speaker 10: Was too busy doing some resaults and.
Speaker 1: Getting thrash from one side the room through the wall
Speaker 1: to the other side. Yike's video shows an EF one
Speaker 1: tornado moving through the city of Largo, north of Saint Petersburg,
Speaker 1: lifting a mobile home nearly completely off the ground and
Speaker 1: leaving it teetering on its side before it slammed back
Speaker 1: down to the ground. Former Governor of New York Andrew
Speaker 1: Cuomo says he's staying in the race to become New
Speaker 1: York City's next mayor. ABC's Andrew Dimbert says that's despite
Speaker 1: his unexpected loss in the primary.
Speaker 14: Cuomo, who enjoyed support from big money donors, says he'll
Speaker 14: be on the November ballot as an independent.
Speaker 1: The Democratic Party has been won by Indie Muslim candidate
Speaker 1: Zorhan Mom.

Speaker 1: deputy who was always getting into car chases with the
Speaker 1: Duke boys on the Dukes of Hazzard. Rickhursed was seventy
Speaker 1: nine the Santa Nez reservoir that was damaged and empty
Speaker 1: when the wildfire broke out in Pacific Palisades in January
Speaker 1: has been repaired and partially refilled. The one hundred and
Speaker 1: seventeen million gallon reservoir was drained in early twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Without the reservoir, water tanks in the area were severely strained,
Speaker 1: causing firefighters to lose water pressure at the peak of
Speaker 1: the fire. A fifty one year old man's pleaded not
Speaker 1: guilty to charges of shooting and killing a passenger on
Speaker 1: a metro bus, robbing another passenger, then hijacking the bus
Speaker 1: and leading police on a slow speed chase. It happened
Speaker 1: last year in South la. The guy is facing murder
Speaker 1: and other charges. More than eighty five hundred flights have
Speaker 1: been delayed because of severe storms in the Midwest, Southwest,
Speaker 1: Great Lakes, mid Atlantic, and Northeast. Tracking website flight Aware
Speaker 1: shows more than seven hundred flights were canceled yesterday. Let's
Speaker 1: say good morning to ABC's Karen Travers. So, Karen, it
Speaker 1: was kind of like something straight out of Hollywood. The
Speaker 1: Defense Secretary and Joint Chiefs outlined the mission to take
Speaker 1: out Iran's nuclear program.
Speaker 5: And this mission was not just hatched a few weeks.
Speaker 12: Ago, and no, I mean this takes a lot of
Speaker 12: time to determine how you could target an underground nuclear facility.
Speaker 12: And it was a fifteen year project that a US
Speaker 12: officer working for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency started back
Speaker 12: in two thousand and nine, according to the Chairman of
Speaker 12: the Joint Chief's Staff, General Dang He said, this officer
Speaker 12: and another colleague would go on to spend fifteen years
Speaker 12: studying the site in great detail, looking at the weather patterns,
Speaker 12: looking at the geology of the mountain, taking into account
Speaker 12: the items that were brought into the site, things that
Speaker 12: were taken out of the site, looking at ventilation shafts
Speaker 12: and what they thought of the electrical systems and all
Speaker 12: of that, so that they could figure out how to
Speaker 12: target it if an order ever came to try to
Speaker 12: strike that fourtoh nuclear facility.
Speaker 1: And then the time came and they.
Speaker 5: Went ahead and launched that attack.
Speaker 1: And during that briefing, which I think we kind of
Speaker 1: thought we were going to get a little bit more
Speaker 1: confirmation of what the mission accomplished, did we get any
Speaker 1: more information about what it accomplished, So.
Speaker 12: There was no new evidence or intelligence. Yesterday, presented by
Speaker 12: the Secretary of Defense feed HEGSEP or general pain that
Speaker 12: indicates around nuclear program in fact destroyed. Cain said that
Speaker 12: that determination is up to despite its agencies, and that
Speaker 12: the military doesn't grade its own homework. Secretary Hegseth notably
Speaker 12: continued to dismiss the early intelligence report from within the
Speaker 12: Pentagon that sources say indicates the attack only set back
Speaker 12: Around's nuclear program by a few months. Sources say that
Speaker 12: that preliminary intelligence assessment from the Pentagon also indicates that
Speaker 12: Iron had removed some of its near nuclear weapons grade
Speaker 12: uranium before the US strike was carried out.
Speaker 1: Okay, and I heard I heard somebody it might have
Speaker 1: been the President say I don't think they got it out,
Speaker 1: but we don't have any indication of whether it actually
Speaker 1: was removed or where it might be.
Speaker 5: At this time, the.
Speaker 12: President on social media said nothing was taken out of
Speaker 12: the facility. He said it would have taken too long
Speaker 12: and it was too dangerous and very heavy and hard
Speaker 12: to move. But again, sources tell us that the preliminary
Speaker 12: intelligence assessment from this agency at the Pentagon indicates that
Speaker 12: they removed at least some of it before the strike.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then that begs the question because I think
Speaker 1: a lot of us now have seen the aerial photo
Speaker 1: of all those trucks lined up outside one of the
Speaker 1: nuclear facilities leading up to the attacks, and what were
Speaker 1: those trucks for?
Speaker 12: So they didn't say exactly.
Speaker 1: So many questions. ABC's Karen Travers, thank you for answering
Speaker 1: some of them.
Speaker 14: I have a great day, all right you.
Speaker 1: Two officials have released details about how a teenage soccer
Speaker 1: player from North Hollywood died earlier this year.

Speaker 7: Campedonia KFI News.
Speaker 1: A fifty nine year old man in Irvine's been charged

Speaker 1: who are fourteen or fifteen. The assaults apparently happened in
Speaker 1: January and June, Lamox did not enter a plea.
Speaker 5: He's scheduled to be arraigned July twenty fourth.
Speaker 1: California's recent hate crime report shows an increase of almost
Speaker 1: three percent from twenty twenty three to twenty four.
Speaker 8: There were just over two thousand reported incidents last year.
Speaker 8: Despite the rise, the numbers remain lower than a peak
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty two. Most hate crimes are racially motivated,
Speaker 8: particularly against the Black community, which accounted for nearly a
Speaker 8: quarter of reported cases in the state in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 8: There were also rises in hate crimes targeting Jewish, Latino,
Speaker 8: and LGBTQ plus people, with a significant increase of over
Speaker 8: two hundred percent for Jewish and transgender people over the
Speaker 8: past decade. Hate crimes against the Asian community have decreased
Speaker 8: for the third consecutive year. Mark Ronner KFI News Ela.
Speaker 1: Kenny Sheriff's homicide detectives say the shooting and killing of
Speaker 1: a man in the Florence Graham neighborhood of South la

Speaker 11: the electric vehicle charging infrastructure problem in America with its
Speaker 11: Level three charging stalls. Those can recharge a battery up
Speaker 11: to eighty percent and twenty minutes to an hour. That's
Speaker 11: just enough time to pop into the Costco, buy more
Speaker 11: stuff than you need, and return to your EV ride
Speaker 11: with a full tank or battery. Level one chargers take
Speaker 11: eleven to twenty hours to recharge, and Level twos take
Speaker 11: six to eight hours. Michael Krozier KFI News.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we were just talking to Karen Travers about
Speaker 1: how the US executed its attack on Iran nuclear facilities
Speaker 1: and including that one that was buried deep inside the mountain.
Speaker 1: The US dropped bunker busters down air shafts at the facility.
Speaker 8: Oh that's very teams bondy.
Speaker 5: No, but I do think it sounds familiar.
Speaker 2: Oh, I knew I'd heard of that before.
Speaker 1: So remember the rebellion shot its little laser bombs or
Speaker 1: photon bombs down a thermal exhaust port to destroy the
Speaker 1: Death Star.
Speaker 3: Your ports will not be easy. You're required to maneuver
Speaker 3: straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point.
Speaker 3: The target area is only two meters wide. It's a
Speaker 3: small thermal exhaust port right below the main port. The
Speaker 3: shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit
Speaker 3: will start a chain reaction, which should destroy the station.
Speaker 3: Only a precise hit will set up a chain reaction.
Speaker 3: The shaft is ratiated, so you'll have to use proton torpedoes.
Speaker 4: That's impossible for a.
Speaker 5: Computer, that's not impossible.
Speaker 4: Haste Bullseye womp rats in my T sixteen back home.
Speaker 5: They're not much going to tim Rats.
Speaker 3: They're nine your ships and may the Force be with you.
Speaker 5: Another case of life imitating art.
Speaker 14: Wow.
Speaker 1: Bell Gardens has canceled its fourth of July firework show
Speaker 1: because of ongoing ice operations. The city made the announcement
Speaker 1: on Instagram, saying all scheduled events in the city have
Speaker 1: been called off through July tenth because of concerns over
Speaker 1: federal immigration enforcement. Ninety six percent of the thirty nine
Speaker 1: thousand people who live in Bell Gardens are Hispanic. Huntington
Speaker 1: Park and Katahey have also canceled their Fourth of July celebrations.
Speaker 1: A grand jury report issued today concludes or.
Speaker 5: That has been issued.
Speaker 1: I guess it was issued yesterday, concluded that Orange County
Speaker 1: officials should do more to combat hate crimes. It also
Speaker 1: questioned why the agency overseeing data collection was missing information
Speaker 1: from coast to Mesa Garden Grove, Orange and Westminster. The
Speaker 1: number of hate crimes reported in OC actually went down
Speaker 1: from one hundred twelve in two thousand and two to
Speaker 1: ninety five in twenty twenty three. A fire burning near
Speaker 1: the Tchikida Canyon landfill has charged about thirty seven acres.
Speaker 1: It's ninety percent surrounded. The fire, west of the five
Speaker 1: and just south of Valverdi, broke out yesterday afternoon. Let's
Speaker 1: say good morning to the host of home on KFI.
Speaker 1: The house whisper it's Dean sharp morning, Dean morning, aian.
Speaker 1: So recent reports are showing that a lot more people
Speaker 1: are renting now rather than buying, and even people with
Speaker 1: a lot of money are choosing to rent rather than buy.
Speaker 1: So I thought, maybe you know, we do a little
Speaker 1: home therapy apartment therapy, and find out some ways to
Speaker 1: make a rental feel more like a home, knowing that
Speaker 1: you can't replace the cabinets and knock.
Speaker 5: Down walls exactly.
Speaker 13: And a lot of people get discouraged because they think, well,
Speaker 13: you know, I'm renting this place. It's an apartment, it's
Speaker 13: a house, whatever the case may be. I just can't.
Speaker 13: I can't really make it home. And that's so not true.
Speaker 13: Home is where you live. You just have to take
Speaker 13: a difference strategy. Of course, you're not going to be
Speaker 13: knocking down well please don't not walk down knock on
Speaker 13: walls in your rental house. But that doesn't mean that
Speaker 13: you can't actually, you know, own the space for yourself.
Speaker 13: Things like color coordinating a room is such a simple concept,
Speaker 13: but once you've done it once, things like drapes and
Speaker 13: carpet or rug areas and throw pillows are all working
Speaker 13: off the same color palette. Man, that place becomes yours.
Speaker 1: And I've done some of these. You send a list
Speaker 1: of all these pictures and ideas and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: done that.
Speaker 5: Oh wait, need to do that.
Speaker 1: And then you also said, along with colors, like lighting
Speaker 1: can really help make your home feel more homey.
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, of course.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 13: We live in the age now in the twenty first century,
Speaker 13: a very very high tech wireless lighting control, right, thing
Speaker 13: like smart lamps being able to control and to dim things.
Speaker 13: Let's say you live in an apartment. You're like, there
Speaker 13: are no dimmer switches in my apartment. That doesn't matter.
Speaker 13: You don't have to rewire the place. There are smart
Speaker 13: light dimmer controls that you can run down to the
Speaker 13: hardware store and buy, take with you whenever you move,
Speaker 13: plug them in into an outlet, hook them up to
Speaker 13: your Wi Fi, and plug the lamp into that. And
Speaker 13: all you have to do is say, Hey, I'm going
Speaker 13: to avoid saying the name of the personal assistance so
Speaker 13: it doesn't respond to me. Here, Hey, turn the lamp
Speaker 13: down to ten percent, and boom, You've got dimmer control
Speaker 13: over the lighting in a room and you have not
Speaker 13: called an electrician to get that done.
Speaker 5: I love that, okay.
Speaker 1: And then one of the other things is like, I'm
Speaker 1: sitting in my apartment, which I love and I've decorated,
Speaker 1: but the walls are white. Is there anything you can
Speaker 1: do without painting the walls?
Speaker 13: There are lots of things you can do without painting
Speaker 13: the walls. There is removable static cling wallpaper these days,
Speaker 13: which is fantastic. I mean static cling, not glue. It
Speaker 13: doesn't leave a residue when it's done. There are sections
Speaker 13: of wallpaper that you can put up. There are things
Speaker 13: like magnetic refrigerator panels, pulling up drapes, creating drapes for
Speaker 13: your windows. And you may think, wait, hey, I'm not
Speaker 13: allowed to drill into the walls. They're quick hang no
Speaker 13: drill curtain rod brackets out there now, which means that
Speaker 13: they can rest right over the top of the window
Speaker 13: and hold that curtain rod and you can have your
Speaker 13: own drapes, your own curtains, your own aesthetics in the
Speaker 13: room without making any permanent damage to walls or changes.
Speaker 1: I love this, Okay, then one other one that I
Speaker 1: like this idea too, just to personalize it. You're not
Speaker 1: making any structural changes, but like just swapping out like
Speaker 1: light switch plates or cabinet knobs and poles, you can
Speaker 1: always put them back exactly.
Speaker 13: Cabinet knobs are just screwed onto the front of the
Speaker 13: cabinet with a simple bolt from the backside of the
Speaker 13: drawer or the door the same with the light switch plates.
Speaker 13: You can customize them to have your own kind of
Speaker 13: going on and again and take it with you. It's
Speaker 13: a screwdriver. It's going to take you two minutes to
Speaker 13: change these things out. You put the old ones in
Speaker 13: a drawer. When you move out, you just swap them
Speaker 13: back out again.
Speaker 1: I love this, And of course plants always help make
Speaker 1: a home feel more homey, so that's a good idea.
Speaker 1: And then I love this one, which I just did
Speaker 1: it not too long ago. It's update your betting. But
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to do it again because my cat
Speaker 1: likes to need and she's destroying my expensive duvet cover.
Speaker 5: But yeah, so many great ideas.
Speaker 1: So just because it's not your house, it doesn't mean
Speaker 1: it can't be a home.
Speaker 13: Absolutely, you are the thing that makes your place your home.
Speaker 13: And finding creative ways of getting you all around, whether
Speaker 13: it's your color, whether it's your picture frames, whether it's
Speaker 13: your stuff, that is what makes that place you.
Speaker 5: You're so wise.
Speaker 1: If you want to hear more wisdom from Dean Sharp,
Speaker 1: you can listen to them tomorrow morning from six to
Speaker 1: eight right here on KFI, or and or nine to
Speaker 1: noon on Sunday it's home on KFI with our house
Speaker 1: whisper Dean Sharp.
Speaker 5: You can also follow him at home with Dean. Thank you, Dean.
Speaker 13: Thanks Amy.
Speaker 1: Time to get your business now with Bloomberg's Monica Rix,
Speaker 1: who's in for Courtney again today.
Speaker 5: So, Monica, I'm.
Speaker 1: So excited to hear about this because there's so many
Speaker 1: stores and Target's one of them, and I think my
Speaker 1: CBS is one of them, and Walmart they're they're locking
Speaker 1: up stuff because thefts are so high. But now Target's
Speaker 1: testing some new tech to unlock the store shelves hopefully
Speaker 1: make it a little faster.
Speaker 15: Yes, Target testing out new technology now to lock and
Speaker 15: unlock those store shelves from a smartphone. So once they
Speaker 15: have that in place, it's going to help staff to
Speaker 15: unlock those plastic cases a lot quicker than manually opening
Speaker 15: them with keys.
Speaker 6: The weight time maybe a.
Speaker 15: Little bit shorter as well, just because they'll have more
Speaker 15: time to get from point A to point B in
Speaker 15: this tour. So the retailer obviously says it's an effort
Speaker 15: to curb theft, but it also says that it could
Speaker 15: improve your shopping experience because of that. Walmart tested a
Speaker 15: similar tool at some of its locations last year and
Speaker 15: are they still using it. I'm not quite sure if
Speaker 15: it really took off, but we just know that they
Speaker 15: were testing it and so we'll see. Well, they still
Speaker 15: need staff to do it, which, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5: It's frustrating. I get it.
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's it's the reality that we live in.
Speaker 1: When it's time for concerts and you want to see
Speaker 1: a show, there's a new king and Queen.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah.
Speaker 15: Kendrick Lamar and Sizza's Grand National Tour is now the
Speaker 15: highest grossing co headline tour in history. They officially beat
Speaker 15: Beyonce and jay Z, who'd held that title since twenty eighteen.
Speaker 15: Billboard saying the k dot and says A generated two
Speaker 15: hundred and fifty six point four million dollars, sold more
Speaker 15: than a million tickets at twenty three shows, including those
Speaker 15: shows at SOFI and State Farm Stadiums in La last month.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, And if you love horror, is this that
Speaker 1: Universal in Florida so attraction?
Speaker 6: No, Well, let me explain Universal.
Speaker 15: Hollywood obviously has Halloween Horror Nights that's going to start
Speaker 15: September fourth, and the one in Orlando is going to
Speaker 15: start a little bit earlier, but Universal just announced that
Speaker 15: it's set to open another year round immersive horror experience.
Speaker 15: It's called Horror Unleashed and it's going to open up
Speaker 15: in Chicago and this would be the second of its kind.
Speaker 15: The first one is going to open up in Las
Speaker 15: Vegas in August. So if you don't want to wait
Speaker 15: till horror nights, maybe want to get your horror fixed
Speaker 15: a little bit early, head on down to Vegas in
Speaker 15: August because they're going to have four haunted houses in
Speaker 15: that attraction with other entertainment included live horror experiences.
Speaker 6: Not for me, but I think a lot of people
Speaker 6: would enjoy it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why only be scared at Halloween. And one last thing,
Speaker 1: Zoomba Cruises are back.
Speaker 15: Oh yeah, start stretching, get that hip mobility going because
Speaker 15: the Zoomba Cruise will set sail again next year after
Speaker 15: a seven year hiatus.
Speaker 6: They took a little bit of a pause.
Speaker 15: But Norwegian says that the five day fitness cruise is
Speaker 15: going to depart from Miami and head to Cozumel, Mexico
Speaker 15: in March. They're going to be able to accommodate about
Speaker 15: twenty three hundred guests. And if you're interested, it'll cost
Speaker 15: about twelve hundred bucks a person.
Speaker 1: You pay a lot more money to work out instead
Speaker 1: of just sitting there and eating and drinking on the
Speaker 1: cruise like you're supposed to. Okay, that's in your business
Speaker 1: with Bloomberg's Monika Rix. Thanks Monica, appreciate it, Thank you
Speaker 1: all right, Good weekend. Today's the deadline for the City
Speaker 1: of La to turn over protest related documents to Congress.
Speaker 1: A Congressional committee has launched an investigation into how Governor
Speaker 1: Newsom and La Mayor Bass handled the anti Ice demonstrations.
Speaker 1: Chair James Comer claims LA was not able to stop
Speaker 1: protesters from getting violent and looting. Senate Democrats and Republicans
Speaker 1: area received classified briefings on the US air strikes against
Speaker 1: Iranian nuclear sites. Arkansas Republican Tom Cotton says the attacks.
Speaker 5: Were an extraordinary success.
Speaker 1: Connecticut Democrat Chris Murray or Murphy rather, says from what
Speaker 1: he's seen, the Iran nuclear program was damaged, but not obliterated,
Speaker 1: as the President claims. The Getty Villa, which has been
Speaker 1: closed since the fire in Pacific Palisades in January's reopening
Speaker 1: today with a new exhibit. The villa will be open
Speaker 1: on a limited schedule Monday from ten to five or
Speaker 1: through Monday from ten am to five pm. It's limited
Speaker 1: to limit the amount of traffic on PCH. We're just
Speaker 1: minutes away from Handle. On the news this morning, the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court has six decisions left and those are expected
Speaker 1: to come down today.
Speaker 5: Right now, say good morning to ABC's.
Speaker 1: Multi platform reporter Will gans Bill. It's blockbuster time. You
Speaker 1: might want to raise the theaters.
Speaker 4: Huh, that's right, and you'll see plenty of Brad Pitt
Speaker 4: on the big screen.
Speaker 5: It's always a good day, right.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying, Like, what else do you really need?
Speaker 4: And if you add in a score from Hans Zimmer,
Speaker 4: direction from the guy who did Top Gun Maverick, I
Speaker 4: mean it has all the trappings of a perfect summer movie,
Speaker 4: and audiences are definitely feeling that way leaving this movie.
Speaker 4: F one. It is about, you know, of course, Formula
Speaker 4: one racers and Brad Pitt plays sort of washed up,
Speaker 4: you know, could have been amazing driver who joins a
Speaker 4: team that needs a little help. And is it a
Speaker 4: little bit predictable? Probably? But will it have it have
Speaker 4: you on the edge of your seat. Definitely. You know,
Speaker 4: I am not an F one fan, but this movie
Speaker 4: was wildly entertaining to me. So I think it's a
Speaker 4: ton of fun if anyone's looking for something to see
Speaker 4: in the theaters this weekend.
Speaker 5: It sounds to me like Top Gun Maverick in a car.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think that's pretty much exactly correct. You know,
Speaker 4: it's like it's same, sounds similarly like you you know,
Speaker 4: I'm not a fighter pilot, but I was in the
Speaker 4: cockpit with Tom Cruise for you know, Top Gun Maverick.
Speaker 4: So yeah, you know, like it's like that's how it feels.
Speaker 4: It feels like, you know, suddenly you're there with them,
Speaker 4: and it's it's an action packed adventure.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 1: Sounds like fun, and it's getting good reviews. I Rotten
Speaker 1: Tomatoes is all over it.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I mean the audience scores like ninety seven percent,
Speaker 4: which is crazy. Critics scores a little bit lower than that,
Speaker 4: but you know that's okay.
Speaker 1: It's a summer blockbuster, so if critics hated, I probably
Speaker 1: love it anyway.
Speaker 4: It's usually how it goes right yep.
Speaker 1: Okay, So if you're not going to movie theaters and
Speaker 1: you want to do the couch thing like, which I
Speaker 1: am known for doing.
Speaker 5: Uh, I didn't even know there was a new season
Speaker 5: for squid Game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's the last one. So you know, squid
Speaker 4: Game was initially supposed to be a movie. Then they
Speaker 4: released it as a series of television, and then it
Speaker 4: shattered like every record in the world on Netflix. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so they were like, Okay, guess we'll do it season
Speaker 4: two and a season three. So this is the final
Speaker 4: season and it is, you know, in line with the
Speaker 4: first two. It is. If you're squeamish or don't like
Speaker 4: to feel stressed out, this is not the show for you.
Speaker 4: But every episode is now streaming on Netflix. So if
Speaker 4: you want to stay in and finish that series, this
Speaker 4: is a good weekend for that.
Speaker 1: Okay, So it's not half the season like Netflix sometimes does,
Speaker 1: it's the whole season.
Speaker 4: Correct, correct. Yeah, come December, November and December. They've split
Speaker 4: Stranger Things final season. There's like three different drops for that.
Speaker 4: But no, this is all of it at once.
Speaker 5: Okay, I know.

Speaker 1: about this too, because I love the show.

Speaker 4: Are back oh my gosh, yes, to name a few,
Speaker 4: Carrie Koon, Audra McDonald. The list goes on. The Gilded
Speaker 4: Age is back on HBO Max. And this is like
Speaker 4: I included it today, particularly because of how opposite it
Speaker 4: is from Squid Game. Like the Gilded Age is beautiful,
Speaker 4: and the costumes and the acting and the pacing is
Speaker 4: just like elegant and you know, wonderful. It's still dramatic,
Speaker 4: it'll still keep your interest, but you know it's about
Speaker 4: the new money versus old money sort of New York
Speaker 4: City scene at the turn of the century, and it's
Speaker 4: just yeah, it's just wonderful, and the stakes are high again.
Speaker 4: This is season three of that show. And you know
Speaker 4: when HBO puts something out on a Sunday night, that
Speaker 4: is their cue to be like, this is going to
Speaker 4: be great because that's where we have like White Lotus
Speaker 4: and The Last of Us and things like that. So
Speaker 4: Sunday nights, the Gilded Age is back on HBO Max.
Speaker 1: Oh so we have to wait for Sunday for that one, Okay,
Speaker 1: So I can binge Squid Game, get done with that,
Speaker 1: and then by Sunday I'll be ready for the Gilded Age.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And you have to sneak in a trip to
Speaker 4: go see Brad Pitt somewhere in between there on the
