Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call
Speaker 1: with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.
Speaker 3: It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King.
Speaker 3: Good morning.
Speaker 1: This is your wake up call for Thursday, March thirteenth.
Speaker 3: I'm Amy King. It's five o'clock straight up. Time to
Speaker 3: get going, and you might want to get on it.
Speaker 1: No dilly dallying this morning, because you should probably leave
Speaker 1: a little bit early. As a news person, I would
Speaker 1: never tell you what to do. As the host of
Speaker 1: wake up Call, I'm gonna tell you slow down and
Speaker 1: go and get on the road a little bit early
Speaker 1: because it's probably gonna take you a little longer. When
Speaker 1: I was driving in this morning, I was driving like
Speaker 1: a ninety year old woman on the freeway. I was
Speaker 1: going like fifty miles an hour and there were people
Speaker 1: passing me, and I was like, well, good on you,
Speaker 1: that's fine. But then on my way in, I hit
Speaker 1: several big puddles and was hydroplaning. And that is the
Speaker 1: scariest thing because you have no control when you hit
Speaker 1: those the deep water and your car loses traction, and
Speaker 1: Will's going to be telling us about that all morning
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of recks out there, and I
Speaker 1: would imagine it's just gonna get worse.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, I switched.
Speaker 1: Things up a little bit today. Wanted to share the
Speaker 1: news with you. I normally have oatmeal. I'm having cream
Speaker 1: of wheat this morning. What I know, breaking out of
Speaker 1: my box. Here's what's ahead on wake up call. A
Speaker 1: flash flood warning is expiring pretty much right now for
Speaker 1: the Eton and Sunset burned scars, but a flood advisory
Speaker 1: remains in effect for much of southern California. Six o'clock
Speaker 1: tonight is when that goes in two and it's lots
Speaker 1: of areas Thousand Oaks, Malibu, North Hollywood, Burbank, Van Nuy's,
Speaker 1: Universal City, Griffith Park, Hollywood and Sino Northridge, Beverly Hills,
Speaker 1: Santa Clarita, Downtown, La Chatsworth, Santa Monica, Woodland Hills, Pasadena, Alta, Dina, Alhambra,
Speaker 1: Mount Wilson, and Agra Hills.
Speaker 3: So just a couple of areas.
Speaker 1: Snow is falling in the Grapevine, but the roadway does
Speaker 1: remain open. Will's going to keep us up to date
Speaker 1: on whether that's going to change. Snow is also falling
Speaker 1: in Big Bear Lake and on our eagles on the
Speaker 1: nest where Jackie and Shadow are protecting their young eaglets,
Speaker 1: and the snow is blowing. I'd like to see the
Speaker 1: snowfall nice and soft on the nest, but it's blowing.
Speaker 3: But Jackie's there, she's protecting the kids.
Speaker 1: It's raining now, so we might not be thinking about
Speaker 1: protecting our homes against wildfire, but now is the time
Speaker 1: to do it. We'll give you some hints on how
Speaker 1: you can protect your house and make sure that it
Speaker 1: doesn't become a victim of a wildfire. We're going to
Speaker 1: be talking with the Wildfire Division director of the National
Speaker 1: Fire Protection Association.
Speaker 3: That's coming up.
Speaker 1: At five point fifty. Wiggle Waggle Walk is also coming up.
Speaker 1: We're going to be talking with Kevin McManus at Pasadena Humane.
Speaker 1: He's going to tell us how the money you donate
Speaker 1: when you walk with us is making a huge difference
Speaker 1: for thousands of animals in southern California. Let's get started
Speaker 1: with some of the stories coming out of the KFI
Speaker 1: twenty four hour newsroom. Heavy rain has moved into southern California.
Speaker 1: The storm has led to evacuation orders, flood warnings, and
Speaker 1: road closures, especially in the burn areas that include Pacific Palisades, Hollywood, Silmar,
Speaker 1: and Sierra Madre. Forecasters say La County could see nearly
Speaker 1: an inch of rain per hour during the peak of
Speaker 1: the storm. All evacuation orders and warnings are in effect
Speaker 1: until six tonight. The National Weather Services the rain is
Speaker 1: expected to linger into tomorrow before it clears up ahead
Speaker 1: of the weekend. Snow's expected at elevations as low as
Speaker 1: twenty five hundred to three thousand feet. As we mentioned
Speaker 1: snow's falling in the Grapevine. Also in Big Bear News
Speaker 1: brought to you by Simper, Solaris three in La been
Speaker 1: charged with fraud for allegedly filing false claims for federal
Speaker 1: disaster relief from the fires in January. Acting US Attorney
Speaker 1: Joseph McNally says the trio defrauded taxpayers and took advantage
Speaker 1: of those suffering from the tragedy.
Speaker 4: That included false claims to damages to property that the
Speaker 4: defendants did not own, rent, or live in, as well
Speaker 4: as false claims of damage to property that was not
Speaker 4: affected by the wildfires.
Speaker 1: McNally says FEMA tries to get relief money to victims quickly,
Speaker 1: and that creates an industry of fraud because many times
Speaker 1: claims are not vetted right away. Officials in San Bernardino
Speaker 1: County say a report of a possible shooter at Loma
Speaker 1: Linda University Medical Center was bogus. Sheriff Shannon Dika says,
Speaker 1: it appears to be a swatting hall.
Speaker 3: It does sound like we.
Speaker 5: Do have some evidence available on this specific suspect. I'm
Speaker 5: going to be very vague about sharing any of that
Speaker 5: with you right now because the one thing I want
Speaker 5: this suspect to know this is the wrong county to
Speaker 5: do those things.
Speaker 1: In the hospital was evacuated yesterday. Some people were told
Speaker 1: to shelter in places. Pillice searched the buildings. People who
Speaker 1: were there say they were told it was not a
Speaker 1: drill and that words like hide, run, and fight were used.
Speaker 1: They say it was very scary. The mayor of San
Speaker 1: Jose has a plan to arrest homeless people if they
Speaker 1: refuse to get help.
Speaker 6: Mayor Matt Mahon tells KFI his idea would force people
Speaker 6: into housing or face arrest if they refuse three times
Speaker 6: in an eighteen month period.
Speaker 7: Police officer could arrest the person for trespassing, that our
Speaker 7: city attorney could press charges with the goal really of
Speaker 7: getting them into our drug court.
Speaker 8: He says.
Speaker 6: The city has invested in two thousand interim houses and shelters,
Speaker 6: and there's really no excuse not to take advantage of
Speaker 6: these programs. He says over two hundred people die on
Speaker 6: the streets of San Jose each year. Critics say his
Speaker 6: plan would criminalize the homeless.
Speaker 3: He's saying people don't want to get inside. That's not true.
Speaker 6: The plan still has to go before the city Council
Speaker 6: for a vote. How the Brooker KFI News.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to the National Weather Services
Speaker 1: Aril Cohen.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Aril.
Speaker 7: Good morning. Thank you for having me today.
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for making some time for us. Last time
Speaker 1: we talked to you was in January because of dry,
Speaker 1: dangerous conditions, and now we're talking to you because it's wet,
Speaker 1: dangerous conditions. So it's been raining pretty good for the
Speaker 1: last few hours. Tell us what's going on and is
Speaker 1: this expected to continue.
Speaker 7: We've had overnight quite a bit of rain in areas,
Speaker 7: especially on the coast facing slopes of the mountains and
Speaker 7: foothills across southern California mounts. Upwards of locally three inches
Speaker 7: of rain fell in the mountains and foothills, with lesser
Speaker 7: upwards of a half inch to an inch across many
Speaker 7: of the lower elevations, including the Los Angeles Basin and
Speaker 7: elsewhere up towards the Oxnard Plain. So you know, this
Speaker 7: amount of rain fell relatively quickly, and we have many
Speaker 7: airports of roadway flooding occur. We also didn't have i'mpacks
Speaker 7: of the heavier rain over the burnt scars, so we
Speaker 7: still have yet to see if we did experience anything
Speaker 7: in the way of any debris flows or landslides. Also
Speaker 7: over many areas steep terrain that certainly could have occurred
Speaker 7: over the overnight hours, and so everyone who's going out
Speaker 7: and about on the roads this morning is just encouraged
Speaker 7: to travel very carefully. Never drive through a flooded roadway,
Speaker 7: turn around, don't drown. Even after the heaviest rains of
Speaker 7: pushing off into areas farther to the south and southern California,
Speaker 7: we still could have those lingering impacts from the heavy
Speaker 7: rains overnight in areas where any rock slides or mudslides
Speaker 7: or to brief flows occurred, those will be especially dangerous
Speaker 7: areas for travel, so again, just be very cautious when
Speaker 7: you're traveling out in about today. Turn around, don't drown,
Speaker 7: never drive through flooded roadway. Over the next several hours,
Speaker 7: we are expecting, despite the heavier rains having pushed through
Speaker 7: the area, intermittent moderate rains, so some showers moving through
Speaker 7: the area as the core of the upper level whether
Speaker 7: disturbance moves across the region. Showers won't last long at
Speaker 7: any given location, but we could pick up a quick
Speaker 7: quarter inch or so, and if that were to occur
Speaker 7: over some of the burn scar locations, that could exacerbate
Speaker 7: the risk for debris flows and flooding. So everyone should
Speaker 7: stay at a high state of readiness as we head
Speaker 7: through the day as we're not done with this activity
Speaker 7: quite yet. Also want to mention, although it's highly unlikely
Speaker 7: the kind of weather pattern that we're going to be
Speaker 7: having over southern California as favorable for the development of
Speaker 7: a few thunderstorms to affect the region, and with that
Speaker 7: activity can't roll out some very small hail what we
Speaker 7: call groppel. The meteorology field, and also a couple funnel clouds.
Speaker 7: It can't be ruled out. While very unlikely, there's at
Speaker 7: least a very small chance for a couple small, brief
Speaker 7: and weak tornadoes as we have a lot of spin
Speaker 7: in the atmosphere moving through. So we're not out of
Speaker 7: the woods in terms of weather houses just yet. Just
Speaker 7: to encourage everyone to stay weather ready and if you
Speaker 7: are vulnerable to these conditions, make sure you have a
Speaker 7: quick access to a safe place endoorse okay.
Speaker 3: And then a quick question for you, Ariol.
Speaker 1: You said that there's going to be intermittent storms and
Speaker 1: maybe some brief periods of kind of heavy rain. But
Speaker 1: even after the rain moves out, those burn scars are soaked.
Speaker 1: So is it possible to have mud and debris flows
Speaker 1: like a couple of days after the rain stops.
Speaker 7: Oh, even weeks afterward. And certainly we saw that a
Speaker 7: year ago when we had mud slides impacting portions of
Speaker 7: the Santa Monica's, especially around Hollywood and by Hilly Hills,
Speaker 7: going on for weeks after the very heavy rain ended.
Speaker 7: We do have another round of some light to maybe
Speaker 7: moderate rain coming through again, you know, in the next
Speaker 7: couple of days and so we're not going to be
Speaker 7: out of the woods. So even if it is not,
Speaker 7: even if you're not experiencing heavy rain, certainly landslides, mudslides,
Speaker 7: and debrief flows will be possible in areas that have
Speaker 7: recently burned or any areas of steep terrain. So just
Speaker 7: be cautious, be aware of your surroundings. If you're in
Speaker 7: an area that's particularly susceptible to land movement, make sure
Speaker 7: that you have multiple ways to to get out of
Speaker 7: harm's way very quickly.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 8: Ri L.
Speaker 1: Cohen with the National Weather Service, thanks so much for
Speaker 1: the reminders and the information.
Speaker 3: We appreciate it.
Speaker 7: Stay, thank everyone.
Speaker 3: Okay, thanks Ario.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
Speaker 1: of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Senate Majority Leader
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer says Democrats will not vote for the government
Speaker 1: spending bill approved in the House.
Speaker 2: Funding the government should be a bipartisan effort, but Republicans
Speaker 2: chose a partisan path, drafting their continuing resolution without any
Speaker 2: input any input from Congressional Democrats.
Speaker 1: Schumer says his caucus is unified on a clean continuing
Speaker 1: resolution that will keep the government open and give Congress
Speaker 1: time to negotiate bipartisan legislation that can pass. The deadline
Speaker 1: to pass a funding bill and avert a partial government
Speaker 1: shutdown is tomorrow. A federal judge has ruled pro Palestinian
Speaker 1: activist Macmoud Khalil will remain jailed in Louisiana after a
Speaker 1: deportation hearing in New.
Speaker 9: York Manhattan, Federal Judge Jesse Furman has ruled that Khalil,
Speaker 9: a thirty year old Columbia graduate student, will remain held
Speaker 9: in Louisiana while he weighs further arguments in the deportation case. Khalil,
Speaker 9: a Green card holder, was arrested at his Columbia owned
Speaker 9: department Saturday night by Ice agents. The White House says
Speaker 9: his pro Palestinian activism was anti Semitic and pro hamas
Speaker 9: his lawyers planned to file a new petition to free him.
Speaker 9: I'm Sarah Lee Kessler.
Speaker 1: A woman in Connecticut has been arrested for allegedly holding
Speaker 1: her step son captive for twenty years.
Speaker 5: You've been locked in that room since he eleven.

Speaker 1: He weighed only sixty eight pounds when he escaped by
Speaker 1: setting fire to the house. Sullivan's defense attorney says his
Speaker 1: client is innocent and denies the allegations. Just hearing these
Speaker 1: stories is just heartbreaking, and it reminds us yesterday we
Speaker 1: did an Amy's on It about the docu series Devil
Speaker 1: in the Family. I mean, it's just crazy that these
Speaker 1: things happen. And then of course the Turpin family in
Speaker 1: Riverside County from a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3: Anyway, it's Karumba for the Rumba.
Speaker 10: The company that makes the robotic vacuum cleaners is in trouble.
Speaker 10: I Robot is telling investors it has maybe a year
Speaker 10: left to figure out its financial issues. At the start
Speaker 10: of twenty twenty four, a deal to have Amazon purchase
Speaker 10: the company for nearly two billion dollars fell through. That
Speaker 10: led to the I Robot CEO quitting and about half
Speaker 10: the workforce getting let go. The company now says it
Speaker 10: has substantial doubt about its ability to continue, and after
Speaker 10: that remark, yesterday shares for the company plunged more than
Speaker 10: thirty percent. Andrew Caravella KFI News, the.

Speaker 1: In twenty twenty one, at six oh five Tandle on
Speaker 1: the news, the new head of the EPA says, the
Speaker 1: Green new Scam, as he calls it, is dead. Bill's
Speaker 1: going to tell you what's next. But right now, let's
Speaker 1: say good morning to ABC's Jordanah Miller in Jerusalem, so Jordana.
Speaker 1: President Trump sent a letter to Iran's Supreme leader and
Speaker 1: said he wants to negotiate a deal with Iran, but
Speaker 1: Irana says no, that's right.
Speaker 11: The Supreme Leader, Iolajomene, gave a speech in which he
Speaker 11: said that you know he is not going to engage
Speaker 11: in negotiations with President Trump, and he mentioned that President
Speaker 11: Trump pulled out of a deal that Iran negotiated with
Speaker 11: the United States back in twenty fourteen under former President
Speaker 11: Barack Obama. And when Trump came into power the first
Speaker 11: time during his first term, he pulled the United States
Speaker 11: out of that deal. So Homione was basically saying, why
Speaker 11: am I going to engage and talks with you again
Speaker 11: when you pulled out of a deal that Iran already signed.
Speaker 11: Homione also said he's not going to engage in talks. Well,
Speaker 11: the United States has tightening sanctions and under what other
Speaker 11: officials have called threats. And thirdly, he said that hey,
Speaker 11: you know, Iran has not developed nuclear weapons and if
Speaker 11: they wanted to, they would have already done it. There's
Speaker 11: nothing United States can do. All of that, of course,
Speaker 11: has to be taken with a grain of salt, because
Speaker 11: there is a lot of evidence that Iran has been
Speaker 11: pursuing a secret nuclear weapons program for a very long time,
Speaker 11: and they've enriched uranium up to sixty percent. They have
Speaker 11: a lot of this highly enriched uranium which very quickly
Speaker 11: can be weaponized. And what the international community thinks, the US,
Speaker 11: the UN, and Israel, by the way, believe iron could
Speaker 11: produce anywhere between four and six nuclear warheads. The problem
Speaker 11: the Iranians have is actually putting those warheads on missiles
Speaker 11: and deploying them. But you know that's one or two
Speaker 11: years away. So this is a serious situation. We're going
Speaker 11: to have to see what comes next.
Speaker 3: Okay, and so Jordana, you're are you saying that they
Speaker 3: right now could build warheads if they wanted to, or
Speaker 3: they're getting close to that point.
Speaker 11: They could very Yet they they have the material to
Speaker 11: easily weaponize from sixty percent to ninety percent, which is
Speaker 11: what you need to weaponize enriched uranium. They have large
Speaker 11: amounts of sixty percent. And the international for example, the
Speaker 11: u N, the i a e A, the International Atomic
Speaker 11: Energy Agency, has said that Iran has enough material that
Speaker 11: it could quickly have enough material for three or four
Speaker 11: or five or six the estimates between four and six
Speaker 11: nuclear warheads. Now, what Iran can't do is put them
Speaker 11: on a missile yet and deploy them. Right what becomes
Speaker 11: so they're they're still.
Speaker 1: Clothes, Yeah, and then what becomes concerning on that is
Speaker 1: that as things shift and new alliances are made, that
Speaker 1: they could make a deal with Russia, they could make
Speaker 1: a deal with North Korea or China and get those
Speaker 1: warheads or get the rockets.
Speaker 11: That they need for them. Yeah, get the means. Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 11: they're they've been trying to uh, you know, to get
Speaker 11: that technology to build those uh you know, to build
Speaker 11: the warheads, you know, uh, the shell if you will,
Speaker 11: all right to hold to all the nuclear material, it's clear.
Speaker 3: I mean.
Speaker 11: One of the reasons that President Trump pulled out of
Speaker 11: the nuclear deal back in twenty and seventeen was that
Speaker 11: he felt it didn't put enough restrictions on Iran and
Speaker 11: there were all kinds of what they called sunset clauses
Speaker 11: that actually were due to expire now in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 11: and he didn't feel that it was really a deal
Speaker 11: that had enough peace for example, put no limits on
Speaker 11: their R and D for centrifuges or developing, for example,
Speaker 11: the capability to deploy these nuclear warheads.
Speaker 7: Though the deal did.
Speaker 11: Keep Iran's enriched material, you know, the levels which it
Speaker 11: could enrich very low, around three point seventy three point
Speaker 11: eight percent. Since the United States pulled out, Iran has
Speaker 11: leapt forward and enriched uranium very very high levels now.
Speaker 11: As so, you know, it looks like Iran right now
Speaker 11: is not going to play game and talk with.
Speaker 3: The United States.
Speaker 11: But let's remember Iran doesn't have a lot of great
Speaker 11: options right now. Their economy is terrible. They've just taken
Speaker 11: a huge hit from Israel in this war. Right when
Speaker 11: I say that, I mean they're proxy has Ballah has
Speaker 11: been really heavily, heavily, heavily damaged, and Israel took out
Speaker 11: a lot of their air defense systems around their nuclear facilities.
Speaker 11: So they're in a very weak position right now. And
Speaker 11: their economy remains very weakened, in terrible shape, so, you know,
Speaker 11: and with Russia talking to the United States, they can't
Speaker 11: really look to Russia.
Speaker 10: For a lot of help.
Speaker 11: And they've just lost Syria as an ally, right, so
Speaker 11: Iran's in a bad position. So they are probably gonna,
Speaker 11: you know, come around, but right now they're staking out
Speaker 11: a very you know, strident position.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's an interesting dance because they want to
Speaker 1: appear strong even if they're not, so they've got to
Speaker 1: kind of make their moves very carefully, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: I get it. It's all just a big game of chess.
Speaker 1: But all right, Geordana Miller, thanks for the updated information.
Speaker 3: We appreciate it.
Speaker 11: Yep, we'll talk soon, all right.
Speaker 3: Take care.
Speaker 1: Public health officials in la are advising beach goers to
Speaker 1: stay out of the water, although it's raining and cold,
Speaker 1: so why would you want to go in? They say,
Speaker 1: storm runoff can carry bacteria, chemicals, and hazardous debris from
Speaker 1: city streets and mountaineers into the ocean. Swimmers and surfers
Speaker 1: should avoid the water for at least seventy two hours
Speaker 1: after rains, especially near storm drains, creeks, and rivers. A
Speaker 1: high surf advisories in effect from nine this morning until
Speaker 1: three tomorrow afternoon. A bill in California seeks to address
Speaker 1: the housing crisis by supporting affordable homes for teachers and
Speaker 1: school staff.
Speaker 8: If every school district that has surplus property built at
Speaker 8: least fifteen units, we'd find ourselves having something upwards of
Speaker 8: two million units, probably about the year twenty thirty one.
Speaker 1: State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurman says affordable housing
Speaker 1: is vital for stable communities. The bill would allow districts
Speaker 1: to use state funds for planning costs, and around seventy
Speaker 1: five thousand acres of unused school land could be developed
Speaker 1: into affordable housing. Thurman says the idea also has practical
Speaker 1: applications for other workforce sectors like first responders and city
Speaker 1: and county employees.
Speaker 3: A reward of up to twenty.
Speaker 1: Thousand dollars has been offered for information leading to the
Speaker 1: arrest and prosecution of the person who decapitated a sea
Speaker 1: lion in northern California. The sea lion was found dead
Speaker 1: back on Christmas Day at Doron regionald Park in Bodega Bay.
Speaker 1: A park employee noticed it had been mutilated. A witness
Speaker 1: told park staff that a man used a black eight
Speaker 1: inch knife to take off the sea lion's head, put
Speaker 1: it in a clear plastic bag, and then rode away
Speaker 1: on an e bike. A brother and sister been charged
Speaker 1: with killing a man in Curritos. The man was shot
Speaker 1: last month near a bicycle trail in the Coyote Creek riverbed.
Speaker 1: The man and woman were seen on video leaving the
Speaker 1: area around that same time. They're charged with murder and
Speaker 1: attempted second degree robbery. They allegedly shot the man when
Speaker 1: he tried to steal his car and he refused to
Speaker 1: hand over, or when they tried to steal his car
Speaker 1: and he refused to hand over the keys. A man
Speaker 1: is facing a second degree murder charge for two fentanyl
Speaker 1: related deaths in Sacramento County. The charge relates to a
Speaker 1: December twenty twenty two overdose in Fulsome that killed a
Speaker 1: nineteen year old guy. The men's also linked to a
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one fentanyl overdose in Elk Grove that killed
Speaker 1: a seventeen year old. The guy's accused of supplying the
Speaker 1: fentinyl in both cases. He's being held without bail doing
Speaker 1: court today. The deadline for people to get a real
Speaker 1: ID is approaching.
Speaker 10: Beginning May seventh, the Real ID Enforcement Act takes place
Speaker 10: That means you will need an upgraded government form of ID,
Speaker 10: like your driver's license.
Speaker 1: Kayfight's Phil Farar says the program was supposed to start
Speaker 1: five years ago but was delayed because of the pandemic.
Speaker 1: A real ID or a passport will be needed for
Speaker 1: people to fly or to enter federal property. Hundreds of
Speaker 1: emergency workers remain in place as a late winter storm
Speaker 1: that could trigger mud and debris flows in burn areas
Speaker 1: moves through. Evacuation Warnings and orders remain in place in
Speaker 1: the San Gabriel Foothills, Pacific Palisades, and around the burn
Speaker 1: area of the airport fire in Orange County. Two people
Speaker 1: from southern California and one in Texas have been charged
Speaker 1: with filing fraudulent claims for wildfire relief funds. US Attorney
Speaker 1: Joseph McNally says the three were paid tens of thousands
Speaker 1: of dollars in benefits they weren't entitled to. The woman
Speaker 1: from Texas got nearly thirty thousand dollars even though she
Speaker 1: had no connection to a home in Pasadena and has
Speaker 1: never lived in California. More anti Muslim discrimination complaints have
Speaker 1: been filed in California than in any other state. Last year,
Speaker 1: the Council on American Islamic Relations says complaints hit an
Speaker 1: all time high Nationwide. CARE says students, workers and activists
Speaker 1: have faced retaliation for condemning Israel's war in Gaza and
Speaker 1: the treatment of Palestinians. At six five a handle on
Speaker 1: the news, there's a big problem with making IRIS workers
Speaker 1: go back to the office.
Speaker 3: Not enough desks.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to the director of pr
Speaker 1: and Communications for Pasadena Humane.
Speaker 3: Our friend, Kevin McManus, Good morning, Kevin.
Speaker 12: Good morning, Amy, how are you.
Speaker 3: I'm good.
Speaker 1: So we're getting ready to wiggle and waggle, So give
Speaker 1: us a little info on the wiggle Waggle walk and
Speaker 1: run for Pasadena Humane.
Speaker 12: Well, it's our biggest fundraiser of the year and it's
Speaker 12: coming up April sixth at the Rose Bowl at Brookside Park.
Speaker 12: And it's just that wise, you know, it's just a
Speaker 12: really fun fun day to come out with your dog
Speaker 12: and support Pasadena Humane and have a great walk around
Speaker 12: the Rose Bowl and do all kinds of other fun things.
Speaker 3: Okay, And so we know that we do this walk
Speaker 3: every year, and like you said, it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: There's food vendors and people you know, show off their pups,
Speaker 1: and there's costume contests and all that stuff.
Speaker 3: But that we're raising money, and that's right.
Speaker 1: People are being bombarded for donations, you know, from kind
Speaker 1: of every angle. So let's talk about Pasadena Humane, what
Speaker 1: you do, and why people should consider donating some of
Speaker 1: their hard earned money to Pasadena Humane.
Speaker 12: Well, I think eating fire certainly kind of shed a
Speaker 12: light to like probably a wider audience of the work
Speaker 12: that we do on a daily basis for the animals
Speaker 12: in our community. And you know that includes you know,
Speaker 12: having a state of the art I see you for
Speaker 12: animals who came in during the fire who were burnt,
Speaker 12: we were able to provide them with care. We're still
Speaker 12: reeling from, you know, the kind of the aftermath and
Speaker 12: still caring for a lot of pets that people who
Speaker 12: don't have homes to go back to. You know, we're
Speaker 12: basically kind of dog sitting for in a definite amount
Speaker 12: of period for some of these folks and other you know,
Speaker 12: just amazing things that we do on a daily basis,
Speaker 12: like our Spain Mouter clinics and our amazing foster program.
Speaker 12: It's now being pushed to its limits as well, and
Speaker 12: we're on the verge of kitten season. So yeah, even
Speaker 12: though and certainly we've been among them asking for donations
Speaker 12: most recently, but this is our chance to kind of
Speaker 12: fund the programs that we do every day for the
Speaker 12: rest of the year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in Pasadena, I think you're right that, Like we've
Speaker 1: known about because we work with you, so we know
Speaker 1: about the great work that you guys do to take
Speaker 1: in animals, make sure they're healthy, check them out, and
Speaker 1: get them ready to get into their new homes. But
Speaker 1: then being inundated with you, it was more than a
Speaker 1: thousand animals that came in after the fires, right.
Speaker 12: Right, Yeah, it was well twelve hundred through the shelter,
Speaker 12: but that was really just a fraction of the ones
Speaker 12: we are caring for because of all the other work
Speaker 12: that we did out in the field in the burn area.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we got to go.
Speaker 1: We came to visit and took some video and in
Speaker 1: fact it's on my Instagram at Amy King. You can
Speaker 1: see we go in and you're treating some of the
Speaker 1: animals and you can see there, you know, where they're
Speaker 1: burned and singed, and you guys are patiently like nursing
Speaker 1: them back to health and making sure that they're you know,
Speaker 1: that they're ready for their owners when they come to
Speaker 1: get them or if they if they can't find the owners,
Speaker 1: that they're ready to find.
Speaker 3: A new home.
Speaker 12: That's right. Yeah, I mean, we still have a couple
Speaker 12: of the burn victims who are still receiving care and
Speaker 12: hopefully Yeah, I mean I was talking to our chief
Speaker 12: veterinarian yesterday and she's say, one of these poor cats
Speaker 12: who came in very early on in the fire like
Speaker 12: still needs a couple more surgeries before and thankfully we
Speaker 12: know who her her family is. But yeah, she's had
Speaker 12: a real long road, but hopefully soon it will be
Speaker 12: you know, back with her loving family.
Speaker 1: And that's why Pasadena Humane is there. That's just one
Speaker 1: of the many things you do. Hey, if you don't
Speaker 1: have a dog, can you still come walk?
Speaker 12: Oh of course please. And well if you're in the
Speaker 12: market for a dog, we're going to have some adoptable
Speaker 12: animal that are Wiggle Waggle Wagon which will be there.
Speaker 12: But you know, it's definitely if you like dogs. If
Speaker 12: you love dogs, it's a really fun day to come
Speaker 12: out and we really want to you know, even if
Speaker 12: you don't like come out and you know, hang out
Speaker 12: with us, come celebrate you know, our our shelter and
Speaker 12: all the hard work that we do. I'm in have
Speaker 12: a good day at the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 1: Absolutely again, it's April sixth, the Wiggle Waggle Walk. We
Speaker 1: have a team that you wake up call Wigglers. I'd
Speaker 1: love for you to join us and come walk with us.
Speaker 3: And you can do that.
Speaker 1: Sign up to either walk with us or to donate
Speaker 1: KF I am six forty dot com slash Wiggle And
Speaker 1: before I let you go, you have a I got
Speaker 1: an alert capacadying and humane to find your four legged clover.
Speaker 3: You're doing this great adoption.
Speaker 12: That's one of my favorite times of the year being
Speaker 12: you know, of Irish descent. So yeah, we're kind of
Speaker 12: well for for big dogs and this is always a
Speaker 12: problem for us, but we see it even now. You know,
Speaker 12: we had such great luck with adoptions the first couple
Speaker 12: of weeks after we kind of restarted that, but we
Speaker 12: still have a lot of big dogs are looking for homes,
Speaker 12: and so if you're in the market for a big
Speaker 12: dog this week, well from now until Tuesday you can
Speaker 12: find your four legged clover, and adoption fees are waived
Speaker 12: for any dog over forty pounds.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 1: Kevin McManus with Pasadena Humane can't wait to see you
Speaker 1: at the Wiggle Waggle Walk on April sixth.
Speaker 12: Thank you, Thank you so much. Amy, talk talk to.
Speaker 3: You soon again.
Speaker 1: If you want to take a look at some of
Speaker 1: the animals and the work that they do at Pasadena Human,
Speaker 1: you can check out my ig at Amy K. King
Speaker 1: and of course I'd love it if you would follow me.
Speaker 1: You can also see it at KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Time to get in your business now with Bloomberg's Courtney Donah.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Courtney, good morning. I'm glad my son didn't
Speaker 1: hear that whole entire interview.
Speaker 3: Telling me to go get a dog.
Speaker 13: Well, luckily you're on the East coast. Oh yes, but
Speaker 13: he wants one so badly every single day.
Speaker 3: Mom, I want a dog. Well, Pasadena Humane has lots
Speaker 3: of them and their loves. But okay, let's talk business.
Speaker 1: So Spirit Airlines actually has some good news exiting bankruptcy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's twenty percent smaller than it was a year ago.
Speaker 13: So they filed for Chapter eleven in November, so it's
Speaker 13: only been four months that they've made this turnaround brought
Speaker 13: down their debt. They lost ground to larger airlines that
Speaker 13: also began to offer rock bottom fares, and this is
Speaker 13: why they ended up getting into trouble. So now what
Speaker 13: they're doing when they're coming out of bankruptcy is they
Speaker 13: plan to rebrand themselves. As they emerge from bankruptcy, they're
Speaker 13: putting in some premium offerings because they want to win
Speaker 13: over more upscale flyers.
Speaker 3: They don't want to just rely on the cheap folks.
Speaker 13: They want to get some more people, especially the more
Speaker 13: expensive business fares on there. So they said that they're
Speaker 13: solely focused on taking a hard look at where they
Speaker 13: fly and their cost structure to.
Speaker 1: Okay, so next timey five maybe check out Spirit just
Speaker 1: in case. Starbucks rolling out some more changes to bring
Speaker 1: the coffee house Vibe back.
Speaker 3: Yes, they've been going through an overhaul.
Speaker 13: We've been talking about that to try to get Americans
Speaker 13: to once again view the chain as the go to
Speaker 13: place to hang out. We've talked about them offering ceramic
Speaker 13: mugs to those who want to stay. We also talked
Speaker 13: about the condiment bar coming back. We've been waiting for
Speaker 13: that to add our own milk. Now, more changes are
Speaker 13: on the way. The company is betting people will order
Speaker 13: more lattes if they can find a cozy spot to
Speaker 13: charge of their phones and their laptop, so they're expanding
Speaker 13: their seating options. They're adding more power outlets so you
Speaker 13: can charge your laptop charge phone. The chain is also
Speaker 13: looking at a redesigned espresso bar. They didn't really give
Speaker 13: too many details on that, but that sounds fun.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I think it seems like Starbucks used to
Speaker 1: be that way. It was like the cool place to
Speaker 1: go and hang out and they had comfy chairs, and
Speaker 1: then they kind of took it out and to sort
Speaker 1: of streamline stuff, and now they're going back.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I'm mobile ordering kind of changed the whole dynamic.
Speaker 13: They wanted to be able to bring in more people,
Speaker 13: turn over more and now they said, you know what,
Speaker 13: we looked at sales. That's just not working anymore for us.
Speaker 13: So now they said, let's go back to the basics
Speaker 13: of what made us the company that we are. Let's
Speaker 13: bring back those customers who want to stay, spend a
Speaker 13: little bit of time and spend more money per visit
Speaker 13: as opposed to just swinging in and out with their
Speaker 13: just grabbing their latte and going Okay.
Speaker 3: Well, I like that idea.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about markets really quick. We had a couple
Speaker 1: of really down days and then yesterday not so bad.
Speaker 1: But what's today and what's been started out?
Speaker 13: Well, I wish I could give you some better news
Speaker 13: for your portfolios, especially for the weather that you guys
Speaker 13: are facing today.
Speaker 3: But futures are pointing to modest losses today. The risk
Speaker 3: of a.
Speaker 13: Government shutdown, if it's not one thing, it's another, it
Speaker 13: seems to be. And everybody's nervous here on Wall Street.
Speaker 13: So we have the risk of a government shutdown, and
Speaker 13: Wall Street is so hypersensitive to everything right now, So
Speaker 13: that showdown in DC adding a layer of worry for
Speaker 13: people who are already worried about the job cuts coming
Speaker 13: from the government, and also the tariff war. So Dow
Speaker 13: futures are down eighty points, SMP futures falling two tenths
Speaker 13: of a percent. Yesterday we did get a little bit
Speaker 13: of a bat back. We had that cooler than expected
Speaker 13: consumer price data that we talked about. The S and
Speaker 13: P five hundred gains half a percent.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: We have Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho with us every day to
Speaker 1: get in your business. Thank you so much, Cartney, see
Speaker 1: you later. How I get TOI TA tomorrow?
Speaker 3: Be safe out there.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The
Speaker 1: woman who sued jay Z alleging he raped her when
Speaker 1: she was thirteen has been heard on tape admitting the
Speaker 1: assault didn't happen. A report by ABC News is the
Speaker 1: woman claims her lawyer pushed her to sue. She alleges
Speaker 1: jay Z was there but didn't have anything to do
Speaker 1: with the sexual acts towards her. The suit has been dismissed.
Speaker 1: Police are looking for a guy caught on a security
Speaker 1: camera throwing an injured cat into his dumpster.
Speaker 14: The cat was rescued from the dumpster just minutes before
Speaker 14: it was scheduled to be emptied. A camera recorded the
Speaker 14: act in Laguna Hills and now the cat has been
Speaker 14: placed in the care of Mission Viejo. Animal Services. Workers
Speaker 14: there have asked for the public to help locate the
Speaker 14: man responsible. They've posted the video on their website and
Speaker 14: social channels. The cat has been named Willow and despite
Speaker 14: extensive injuries, is said to be on the path to
Speaker 14: a full recovery. Michael Monks KFI News for.
Speaker 1: Villagers from Indonesia sued San Diego based Bumblebee Tuna. The
Speaker 1: men say they took the jobs after being promised good wages,
Speaker 1: but were abused daily, had to work around the clock,
Speaker 1: were burned and even stabbed by the captain, and were
Speaker 1: denied medical care. Bumblebee says it does not comment on
Speaker 1: pending litigation. The US is cracking down on long term
Speaker 1: visits from Canadians. Canadians planning to stay in the US
Speaker 1: more than a month are now going to be required
Speaker 1: to register with the government. Canada used to be exempt
Speaker 1: from that requirement. It comes as the US, Canada, and
Speaker 1: Mexico are locked in a trade war over President Trump's
Speaker 1: new tariffs. An active shooter report at Loma Linda University
Speaker 1: Medical Center has turned out to be a hoax. Someone
Speaker 1: called nine one one saying they were inside the hospital
Speaker 1: with an AR fifteen and we're about to start shooting.
Speaker 1: Part of the hospital had to be evacuated yesterday. No
Speaker 1: shooter was found. San Bernardino County to say it appears
Speaker 1: to have been a swatting call. A bill introduced in
Speaker 1: the state legislature would help teachers and school staff get
Speaker 1: affordable housing. The law would allow school districts to use
Speaker 1: state money for planning costs, and around seventy five thousand
Speaker 1: acres of unused school land could be developed into affordable housing.
Speaker 1: A couple of astronauts stuck on the International Space Station
Speaker 1: since June are going to have to wait a little
Speaker 1: longer to come home. SpaceX had to scrub yesterday's scheduled
Speaker 1: launch from Cape Canaveral because of hydraulic issues with a
Speaker 1: clamp that keeps the rocket upright. The next launch attempt
Speaker 1: is scheduled for tomorrow, butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams were
Speaker 1: only supposed to be on the International Space Station for
Speaker 1: one week. We're just minutes away from handle. On the
Speaker 1: news this morning, there will.
Speaker 3: Be a global trade war apparently, things to look forward to.
Speaker 3: Bill's going to talk about that.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to the Wildfire Division director
Speaker 1: at the National Fire Protection Association, Michelle Steinberg.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Michelle, Good morning.
Speaker 1: So we're not really thinking about fires right now because
Speaker 1: it's raining and people in the burn areas are worried
Speaker 1: about mudd and debrief flows. But watching the aftermath of
Speaker 1: the fires may be the perfect time to start preparing
Speaker 1: for the next wildfire. And one of the best ways
Speaker 1: to get ready for wildfire get your home ready. So
Speaker 1: give us some tips and tricks on what we should
Speaker 1: be thinking about and start doing now.
Speaker 15: Thanks Amy. What we can be doing now is to
Speaker 15: look around our home and look for anything that an
Speaker 15: ember could catch. So we know that a lot of
Speaker 15: the fire impact on homes is driven by wind driven
Speaker 15: embers when they land on roofs, in gutters in the
Speaker 15: near spaces to the home within that first five feet.
Speaker 15: So what we can do right now is take a
Speaker 15: look around to make sure from the roof down to
Speaker 15: the eaves, the siding down to the foundation, and then
Speaker 15: out into that five foot space, is there anything that
Speaker 15: could ignite. So if they're flammable, mult for example, if
Speaker 15: you've got loose shingles, maybe you've got a ripped screen.
Speaker 15: These are some sort of DIY things that people can
Speaker 15: do that actually are very effective at limiting the impact
Speaker 15: of an ember should it reach the home.
Speaker 1: Okay, and you mentioned mulch, which I think is really
Speaker 1: a good thing to mention because you don't think of
Speaker 1: that as something that's flammable. You think of like a
Speaker 1: brush or something leaning up against the house. Ors just
Speaker 1: stuff too close to the house, and that's just down
Speaker 1: on the ground.
Speaker 15: But it's wood, right, So if you have something that's
Speaker 15: combustible and many mulches are that needs you can still
Speaker 15: use multineal landscape, but that really needs to be planned out.
Speaker 15: You need to rake it away from that first five feet,
Speaker 15: replaced maybe with some gravel or stone, think about some
Speaker 15: different designs. There's lots of different options that people have
Speaker 15: for making something that's pleasing and aesthetically beautiful but does
Speaker 15: not present that hazard. But yeah, embers can get that
Speaker 15: into that moulten. If it's right up against the siding
Speaker 15: of your home, that can really be an issue because
Speaker 15: it will smolder and then start to flame.
Speaker 3: Okay, and then we're speaking of the embers as well.
Speaker 1: We were talking to you our home guy, Dean Sharp,
Speaker 1: who is a designer and contractor, and he was telling
Speaker 1: us that a lot of the fires start not because
Speaker 1: of embers landing on a roof, but the embers get
Speaker 1: underneath and get into the attics through those through the vents.
Speaker 15: Correct, So particularly gable end vents which are on the
Speaker 15: side of the house, those can if the position with
Speaker 15: the wind, you're going to get that straight line wind.
Speaker 15: So we want to make sure that any kind of
Speaker 15: vent openings are screened with metal mash. Our recommendation is
Speaker 15: one eighth inch or smaller. You still get allowed for ventilation,
Speaker 15: but you want to minimize the likelihood embers are going
Speaker 15: to get in there. The other thing I noticed, you know,
Speaker 15: visiting in Los Angeles at the end of January, a
Speaker 15: lot of the beautiful Spanish towle roofs. To make sure
Speaker 15: that the end camps are sealed. Usually you think of
Speaker 15: them as bird stops. Well, if a bird can get in,
Speaker 15: an ember can definitely get in. So we want people
Speaker 15: to make sure that those openings are either sealed or screened,
Speaker 15: and that you're paying attention to those little entry ways.
Speaker 1: Okay, and Michelle Steinberg is with us with the National
Speaker 1: Fire Protection Association. For those who did suffer some damage
Speaker 1: in the wildfires, maybe their homes are still standing, they've
Speaker 1: got repairs to do, or people who were near what
Speaker 1: are some ways to rebuild in what your organization calls
Speaker 1: firewise ways.
Speaker 15: Right so Farways is our program to organize communities and
Speaker 15: help educate across the neighborhood. And the concepts are really
Speaker 15: supported by science. So it's any place again that an
Speaker 15: ember can enter or a smolder, that's where you want
Speaker 15: to pay attention to the immediate house. But in rebuilding,
Speaker 15: choosing the products that are noncombustible or are rated to
Speaker 15: be ignition resistant is critical and happily California has excellent
Speaker 15: guidance in their building code around wildfire. It's some of
Speaker 15: the best in the country.
Speaker 12: So those are they.
Speaker 15: Actually list the different products that are considered to be
Speaker 15: noncombustible or ignition resistant, so they don't make it difficult
Speaker 15: for you to find out what you need to do
Speaker 15: in terms of choosing those different building materials and the
Speaker 15: different techniques. But they're very basic and it gives consumers
Speaker 15: a lot of choice on what they can use okay.
Speaker 1: And then Michelle, if you're not technically in a wildfire zone,
Speaker 1: what can you say to convince people to take for
Speaker 1: questions anyway?
Speaker 15: Well, you know, I live in New England and I
Speaker 15: would walk around with friends of family and point out, gee,
Speaker 15: it's great that they put some of that rock or
Speaker 15: gravel near the foundation and oh look their foundation wall
Speaker 15: goes up more than six inches where there's nothing flammable,
Speaker 15: And people say, oh, why is that important? So I explain,
Speaker 15: you know, even if there was a barbecue grill on
Speaker 15: a windy day, if there was a cigarette into the mulch,
Speaker 15: that's going to protect you from that exterior ignition. You
Speaker 15: don't need to have a weldfire to have a risk.
Speaker 15: And so I've been able to educate people that way
Speaker 15: that these are simple precautions that really everybody can follow
Speaker 15: and reduce that likelihood of having flames outside the house
Speaker 15: that could cause problems.
Speaker 1: Okay, Michelle Steinberg, the Wildlife Division or Wildfire Division director
Speaker 1: with the National Fire Protection Association, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for taking some time with wake Up Call this morning.
Speaker 15: It's my pleasure, Amy, thank you.
Speaker 3: Take care.
Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
