18
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. LA Mayor Bass

19
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 1>and other officials are urging people in the LA area

20
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:18.079
<v Speaker 1>to prepare for the atmospheric river that's about to hit

21
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.439
<v Speaker 1>southern California. It could bring flooding, mudslides, and debris flows,

22
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.760
<v Speaker 1>especially in the wildfire burn areas. The heaviest rains expected

23
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.319
<v Speaker 1>from tomorrow afternoon to early Friday morning, with one and

24
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 1>a half to three inches of rain in most areas.

25
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.239
<v Speaker 1>Three to six inches is possible in the foothills and mountains,

26
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:37.480
<v Speaker 1>and up in northern California. They're expecting several feet of

27
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:41.760
<v Speaker 1>snow in the Sierra Nevada. An American teacher held in

28
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Russia for more than three and a half years has

29
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:46.400
<v Speaker 1>met with President Trump at the White House hours after

30
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:50.239
<v Speaker 1>he was released. Trump's a Special Envoy to the Middle East,

31
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Steve Whitcoff, negotiated the deal with the Kremlin to release

32
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:58.079
<v Speaker 1>Mark Fogel. Fogel was released from the Kremlins custody yesterday

33
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>and left Russia on Whitcoff's lie. So why we're not

34
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:05.319
<v Speaker 1>looking at our phones quite as much. Oh, we're still

35
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.840
<v Speaker 1>looking at screens, but they're bigger. We'll be talking with

36
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:13.360
<v Speaker 1>KTLA's tech reporter Rich Damuro. That's at five point twenty. Also,

37
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:16.879
<v Speaker 1>we've had the fires, floods could be coming, so we

38
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>might as well start talking about earthquakes. We're actually gonna

39
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>talk with the chief mitigation officer with the California Earthquake

40
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Authority to find out what we can do now and

41
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.599
<v Speaker 1>get some help monetarily to get it done, to prepare. Also,

42
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Amy's on it. I'm on Award nominated movies as we

43
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.120
<v Speaker 1>lead up to the SAG and the Academy Awards. This

44
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>one's got a lot of buzz. It's about a big

45
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>change in both appearance and in spirits that's coming up

46
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:45.319
<v Speaker 1>at the bottom of the hour. I think you're kinda

47
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>want to hear it. Let's get started with some of

48
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

49
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.879
<v Speaker 1>Rain has arrived in parts of southern California. Officials in

50
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>LA are urging people to prepare for possible mud and

51
00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>debrief flows, especially in the Burn areas. Hey The alertsvariously here.

52
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.840
<v Speaker 1>National Weather Service meteorologist doctor Ariel Cohen says the weather

53
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:09.080
<v Speaker 1>conditions could be dangerous, with the main concern being from

54
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:11.840
<v Speaker 1>two pm Tomorrow through two am Friday.

55
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.840
<v Speaker 6>We're looking at very intense rainfall rates to bring the

56
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 6>potential for significant debris flows.

57
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.759
<v Speaker 3>Now we're not saying that they're definitely going to happen.

58
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.199
<v Speaker 7>We're saying right now approximately a fifty to seventy percent

59
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:25.360
<v Speaker 7>chance of that activity.

60
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:27.879
<v Speaker 1>He says people should be prepared and have a plan

61
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:32.000
<v Speaker 1>in case they need to evacuate. The La County Board

62
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.280
<v Speaker 1>of Supervisors has voted unanimously to crack down on price

63
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>gougers in the wake of the wildfire.

64
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 2>See maximum civil fine four. Price gouging is temporarily increasing

65
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.479
<v Speaker 2>from ten thousand to fifty thousand dollars for each violation.

66
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Supervisor Lindsay Hornfath says the motion aims to protect renters

67
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:51.919
<v Speaker 2>and consumers from getting exploited during a time of crisis.

68
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:56.120
<v Speaker 1>On Mark Mayfield, some business owners in La may get

69
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:57.319
<v Speaker 1>a break on their taxes.

70
00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.840
<v Speaker 8>The city council has approved a sixty day tax filing

71
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.800
<v Speaker 8>waiver for businesses destroyed or disrupted by the wildfires. Councilwoman

72
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:07.159
<v Speaker 8>Unisses Hernandez says some businesses lost their tax documents and

73
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:08.479
<v Speaker 8>equipment needed a file.

74
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:10.479
<v Speaker 9>By passing measures like this, we both s are a

75
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.039
<v Speaker 9>collective safety net and ensure that the protections we are

76
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.319
<v Speaker 9>creating actually meet the needs of the people who we're

77
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:16.079
<v Speaker 9>designing them for.

78
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.759
<v Speaker 8>The decision could cost the city an estimated eight million

79
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 8>dollars in tax revenue. Any business that re establishes itself

80
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:25.079
<v Speaker 8>after destruction would be treated as a new business and

81
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.560
<v Speaker 8>would not file taxes until January next year. Michael Monks

83
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:33.319
<v Speaker 1>The California Insurance Department says the Fair Plan, which provides

84
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.839
<v Speaker 1>homeowners insurance for people who can't get private coverage, needs

85
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.079
<v Speaker 1>another one billion dollars to pay claims from the fires

86
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.439
<v Speaker 1>in LA. The department says major private insurance companies that

87
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:45.879
<v Speaker 1>pay into the plan will have to bear half of

88
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the cost, but then can pass that cost onto policyholders.

89
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.199
<v Speaker 1>The Fair Plan is for people whose properties are deemed

90
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:57.720
<v Speaker 1>too risky to ensure. Waiting to check in with ABC's

91
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Jordana Miller, and there she is is in Jerusalem. Good morning, Jordana.

92
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.759
<v Speaker 1>Just when things seemed to be going well, things are

93
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.199
<v Speaker 1>now on the verge of falling apart again. So what's

94
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 1>going on?

95
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:14.439
<v Speaker 10>Well, well, I certainly hope not. You know, in the

96
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:19.240
<v Speaker 10>last hour or so, we've seen new images of trucks

97
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:25.000
<v Speaker 10>carrying caravans towards Gaza. That was one of the Hamasa's

98
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:28.480
<v Speaker 10>complaints why they initially said we will not release the

99
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:33.480
<v Speaker 10>hostages on Saturday. You know, Israel and the other partners

100
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.879
<v Speaker 10>in the steal have not lived up to their obligations.

101
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:40.600
<v Speaker 10>We have not received any caravans or enough tents. Remember,

102
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 10>there's nowhere for many most gosins to live, so these

103
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 10>caravans are quite important. Now we're seeing the first images

104
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.600
<v Speaker 10>that caravans are moving towards the Gaza Strip. That means

105
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:56.120
<v Speaker 10>that we are getting some resolution on this. And despite

106
00:05:56.560 --> 00:06:00.839
<v Speaker 10>all of the threats and the you know, the deadlines,

107
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:04.439
<v Speaker 10>whether it's from the American president, from President Trump or

108
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 10>the Israelis, it looks like we're moving towards resolution. We're

109
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.000
<v Speaker 10>going to it looks like we're moving towards getting through

110
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:15.680
<v Speaker 10>this big, big bump. You know, it is true that

111
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.279
<v Speaker 10>the Israeli Prime Minister said, if we don't get our

112
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:21.879
<v Speaker 10>hostages Saturday, we're going to resume the war. We're going

113
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.079
<v Speaker 10>to go back into the Gaza Strip. But for the Israelis,

114
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.639
<v Speaker 10>they only need to see three hostages come out on

115
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.560
<v Speaker 10>Saturday for the deal to still be intact. Right, the

116
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.519
<v Speaker 10>President Trump is saying all the hostages and these Raelies

117
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:37.720
<v Speaker 10>are just kind of staying away from that. Oh, that

118
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 10>would be nice, that would be great. Sure, we want

119
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:44.439
<v Speaker 10>all the hostages out, but we know Hamas is not

120
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.879
<v Speaker 10>going to turn over all nine living hostages from this

121
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:50.360
<v Speaker 10>part of the deal. Now we're only just a little

122
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:54.519
<v Speaker 10>more than halfway through phase one, so if these issues

123
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:58.160
<v Speaker 10>of aid can get resolved, then we'll hope, God willing,

124
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:02.000
<v Speaker 10>we'll see Hamas released three hostages on Saturday, the Israelis

125
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:04.920
<v Speaker 10>will release pal standing prisoners, and then we'll be at

126
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:08.480
<v Speaker 10>another point where the sides have to discuss what's coming next.

127
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:12.360
<v Speaker 1>So they haven't are they starting to talk about phase

128
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:14.600
<v Speaker 1>two yet or are they holding off to make sure

129
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.800
<v Speaker 1>that phase one is carried out well.

130
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.519
<v Speaker 10>According to the deal, during phase one, phase two talks

131
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:25.519
<v Speaker 10>are supposed to start, right, So the Israelis say, we've

132
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:27.959
<v Speaker 10>started to talk about phase two with the Americans, with

133
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:32.000
<v Speaker 10>the mediators, but Hamas is saying, well, we haven't really

134
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:36.360
<v Speaker 10>sat down at a table where our negotiators are talking

135
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:38.800
<v Speaker 10>to your negotiators, right, So it hasn't been a real

136
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:44.600
<v Speaker 10>indirect round yet of negotiations. And the Israeli Prime Minister

137
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.120
<v Speaker 10>said yesterday we're not going to talk about the second

138
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.639
<v Speaker 10>round yet. Like you want to pull out of letting

139
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:52.680
<v Speaker 10>the hostages out, We're going to pull out of the talks.

140
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:57.959
<v Speaker 10>So everything could begin again after Saturday, or in a

141
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:00.879
<v Speaker 10>worst case scenario, I mean, we see the Israeli army

142
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:02.600
<v Speaker 10>go back into Gaza this weekend.

143
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.959
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and uh, you've said that they're positioning themselves now

144
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.800
<v Speaker 1>for that, for just in case. Is that still the

145
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:14.920
<v Speaker 1>case that they're kind of massing again near the near Gaza.

146
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.839
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, they are, they are, These Erali troops are have

147
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:24.399
<v Speaker 10>they boosted their presence along the southern part of Israel

148
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.920
<v Speaker 10>near the Gaza border. They've also called up reservists, uh,

149
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:32.399
<v Speaker 10>you know, there are. They're they're working out several different

150
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:37.200
<v Speaker 10>contingency plans in case everything falls apart, and that includes

151
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:40.320
<v Speaker 10>some kind of you know, surprise attack even from Amas

152
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:44.080
<v Speaker 10>right now. So we're gonna we're gonna have to you know,

153
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.240
<v Speaker 10>I think both sides still have a vested interest in

154
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:51.840
<v Speaker 10>keeping the deal afloat. So I don't think we're going

155
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:54.039
<v Speaker 10>to see it fall apart right now. Could it fall

156
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.919
<v Speaker 10>apart next week, yes, but right now, I think you know,

157
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.879
<v Speaker 10>Hamas still wants some of their Palestinian prisoners released. They

158
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:08.399
<v Speaker 10>still want to look like they're the ones championing, you know,

159
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.440
<v Speaker 10>getting in aid for the people of Goazas. They want

160
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:16.919
<v Speaker 10>to sort of rebuild their support among Gosen. So I

161
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:18.960
<v Speaker 10>don't think the deal is going to fall apart right now.

162
00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:22.320
<v Speaker 10>But there are serious challenges to Phase two, which the

163
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.759
<v Speaker 10>size are supposed to be talking about, which hasn't even begun,

164
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:27.919
<v Speaker 10>So that doesn't bode well for the you know, for

165
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:29.320
<v Speaker 10>what's coming next.

166
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:32.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, well, we will continue to watch and hope

167
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:36.759
<v Speaker 1>that they continue to make progress. ABC's Jordanna Miller in Jerusalem.

168
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for the information. We'll talk again soon.

169
00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:40.399
<v Speaker 10>Thanks suck soon.

170
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's get back to some of the stories coming out

171
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:44.960
<v Speaker 1>of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Russia says one

172
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:47.720
<v Speaker 1>of its citizens has been freed and a swap for

173
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:51.879
<v Speaker 1>released American Mark Foegel. The American teacher, was arrested in

174
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:55.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one in charges of having medical marijuana in

176
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:02.279
<v Speaker 1>with Special Envoy for President Trump, Steve Whitcoff, and met

177
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:03.519
<v Speaker 1>with Trump at the White House.

178
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:06.000
<v Speaker 5>I feel like the luckiest man on earth right now,

179
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:12.720
<v Speaker 5>and I want you to know that I am not

180
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:13.440
<v Speaker 5>a hero.

181
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:14.039
<v Speaker 11>In this at all.

182
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:18.159
<v Speaker 1>National Security Advisor Michael Walls says the US and Russia

183
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:21.879
<v Speaker 1>negotiated the exchange, but didn't give any details. President Trump

184
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:25.399
<v Speaker 1>said another American hostage is going to be released today.

185
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:29.159
<v Speaker 1>The Trump administration has cut some federal jobs outside of

186
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:30.679
<v Speaker 1>its efforts to shrink the government.

187
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:34.759
<v Speaker 7>Four FEMA officials fired yesterday after must Claim Dosche found

188
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:37.559
<v Speaker 7>tens of millions of dollars were spent by the agency

189
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:41.440
<v Speaker 7>on housing migrants in New York hotels. Massive cuts also

190
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.679
<v Speaker 7>announced that the Department of Education worth nearly nine hundred

191
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:45.440
<v Speaker 7>million dollars.

192
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.480
<v Speaker 1>ABC's Perry Russim says the White House also fired the

193
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:54.399
<v Speaker 1>Inspector General for USAID. Several brands of canned tuna sold

194
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:57.919
<v Speaker 1>at Costco, Trader Joe's, Walmart, and other stores are being recalled.

195
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>ABC's Chuck Siebertson says try Union Seafoods is recalling its

196
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:05.679
<v Speaker 1>products because of a can defect that could potentially cause

197
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:07.200
<v Speaker 1>botulism contamination.

198
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.840
<v Speaker 12>The recall effects can tuna sold under the Genova, Van Camps, HB,

199
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:15.039
<v Speaker 12>and Trader Joe's brand names. According to the company, there

200
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.279
<v Speaker 12>have been no illnesses reported in connection to the recalled products.

201
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.799
<v Speaker 1>Customers are being encouraged to return the recalled cans to

202
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>the store for a full refund or just throw them out.

203
00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Disneyland is facing a class action lawsuit over DAS that's

204
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:34.080
<v Speaker 1>its Disability Access service. Kfi's Daniel Martindale says the lawsuit,

205
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:38.840
<v Speaker 1>filed on Monday, claims guests with physical disabilities are disproportionately

206
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:42.559
<v Speaker 1>excluded from using DAS to skip lines for attractions.

207
00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:46.080
<v Speaker 5>The lawsuit challenges the changes Disneyland made to DAS last

208
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.759
<v Speaker 5>summer to cut down on the amount of people misusing

209
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.320
<v Speaker 5>the system. The new guidelines limit DIAS usage primarily to

210
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:54.440
<v Speaker 5>guests with developmental disabilities.

211
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:59.960
<v Speaker 1>The lawsuit is asking the judge to make Disney mudify

212
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.559
<v Speaker 1>so that people with all types of disabilities can bypass

213
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:07.000
<v Speaker 1>long waits in lines. Toyota is recalling more than one

214
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:10.159
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand Pacoma pickups.

215
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.000
<v Speaker 12>Model years twenty, twenty four and twenty five because mud

216
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.279
<v Speaker 12>or dirt may wear through break hoses, causing a fluid leak,

217
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:19.159
<v Speaker 12>which could reduce braking and ultimately increase the risk of

218
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:19.679
<v Speaker 12>a crash.

219
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:24.759
<v Speaker 1>I think I said Pacoma, I meant Tacoma. ABC's check

220
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Seversin says Toyota owners will be notified by early April

221
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.840
<v Speaker 1>and dealers will replace both rear break hoses for free.

222
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:36.559
<v Speaker 1>NASA says two astronauts stuck aboard the International Space Station

223
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:39.159
<v Speaker 1>since last summer are going to be brought back to

224
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Earth a couple weeks sooner than previously announced. The Space

225
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Agency had said it was targeting a return date of

226
00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:51.360
<v Speaker 1>late March, butch Wilmore and Sunny Williams went to space

227
00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:55.200
<v Speaker 1>aboard the Boeing star Liner in June. They were supposed

228
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:57.600
<v Speaker 1>to be up for a week, but they couldn't come

229
00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:00.879
<v Speaker 1>back on the spacecraft because of leaks and chanical issues,

230
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:03.320
<v Speaker 1>and they were only supposed to be there.

231
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:03.600
<v Speaker 3>For a week.

232
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:06.840
<v Speaker 1>But it's been about nine months now. I would imagine

233
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:12.240
<v Speaker 1>they would be excited to touch Terra Firma again. Last

234
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:14.679
<v Speaker 1>week we went out and about to the Pasadena Humane

235
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:18.600
<v Speaker 1>to check out what is going on there and see

236
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:20.799
<v Speaker 1>the great work that they are doing to save and

237
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:22.840
<v Speaker 1>take care of the animals caught up in the wildfires.

238
00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:25.639
<v Speaker 1>And I just wanted to remind you that that video

239
00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:29.200
<v Speaker 1>is posted on Instagram at amy K King if you

240
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:31.080
<v Speaker 1>want to get a look at you've got some just

241
00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:34.320
<v Speaker 1>cats with their little paws burned. The good news is

242
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:38.799
<v Speaker 1>they're getting better and Pasadena Humane has reopened adoptions, so

243
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>if you are looking to adopt, you can do that again.

244
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:43.559
<v Speaker 1>They had to shut everything down for about a month

245
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.600
<v Speaker 1>as they were taking in hundreds and hundreds of animals. Again,

246
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:48.679
<v Speaker 1>it's at Amy K. King and would love it if

247
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:51.720
<v Speaker 1>you would follow me as well. Power is back on

248
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:54.240
<v Speaker 1>for nearly all of the homes and businesses affected by

249
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:58.440
<v Speaker 1>the wildfire in Pacific Palisades, La Mayor bassas crews are

250
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:00.559
<v Speaker 1>still working to restore the power or to some of

251
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.919
<v Speaker 1>the area's hit hardest by the fires. Bass says progress

252
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.559
<v Speaker 1>is also being made on restoring water service to affected areas.

253
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:10.799
<v Speaker 1>An eighteen year old from Lancaster has been senced to

254
00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:14.080
<v Speaker 1>four years in federal prison for making over three hundred

255
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:18.080
<v Speaker 1>and seventy five so called swatting or threatening calls. He

256
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:22.080
<v Speaker 1>was arrested in California last month. Prosecutors say he called churches,

257
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.480
<v Speaker 1>high schools, universities, individuals, and government officials around the US

258
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:31.320
<v Speaker 1>threatening to have bombs detonated or to carry out mass shootings.

259
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show is the most watched ever.

260
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:41.559
<v Speaker 1>Rock Nation says the performance drew one hundred thirty three

261
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:44.159
<v Speaker 1>point five million viewers. That breaks the record of one

262
00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:48.000
<v Speaker 1>hundred thirty three point four million set by Michael Jackson

263
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.799
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen ninety three. Lamar is set to launch a

264
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Stadium World tour with Siza in April. At six oh five,

265
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:56.720
<v Speaker 1>it's handle on the news. Elon was in the oval

266
00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:59.840
<v Speaker 1>with the President to talk about downsizing the federal government.

267
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:02.159
<v Speaker 1>Is going to tell us about that. Right now, let's

268
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:03.879
<v Speaker 1>say good morning to the host of Rich on Tech

269
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:08.159
<v Speaker 1>on KFI KTLA's tech reporter rich Demiro. Rich, I have

270
00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:10.879
<v Speaker 1>to ask you a question before we dig into our topics.

271
00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:14.440
<v Speaker 4>Today, Sure, and it's well if we have an answer.

272
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, I figured if anybody would, you would, and I'm

273
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.480
<v Speaker 1>guessing that other people may be having this issue too.

274
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:23.639
<v Speaker 1>So I've got my iPhone right and it's a Sure

275
00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:29.279
<v Speaker 1>fifteen Max Pro and sometimes when I open the email,

276
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:33.320
<v Speaker 1>you get those little boxes with the question mark that's

277
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:36.080
<v Speaker 1>basically blocking the pictures. Is there a way to clear

278
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:38.120
<v Speaker 1>that out so they come up? Because sometimes if I

279
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:40.840
<v Speaker 1>restart the phone, they'll come up, but sometimes they just

280
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:42.080
<v Speaker 1>don't show up, and it's annoying.

281
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:47.120
<v Speaker 6>That sounds like it's a connection issue at the time.

282
00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:50.159
<v Speaker 6>So if they come up afterwards, it might just be

283
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.759
<v Speaker 6>that you're in an area that it's not loading those pictures.

284
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:54.360
<v Speaker 4>That's the only thing I can think of off the

285
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:54.960
<v Speaker 4>top of my head.

286
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:56.919
<v Speaker 1>Okay, see Ice.

287
00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:58.799
<v Speaker 4>But I'd have to send me a screenshot so I

288
00:15:58.799 --> 00:15:59.960
<v Speaker 4>can investigate.

289
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I will do that. That's why we have see I

290
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:08.960
<v Speaker 1>use you as my personal tech issue guy. So let's

291
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:11.799
<v Speaker 1>talk about something that everybody can probably relate to, and

292
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:17.519
<v Speaker 1>that is that YouTube says that TVs have overtaken mobile

293
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:20.840
<v Speaker 1>for viewing, so we're watching less on our little phones

294
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:22.120
<v Speaker 1>and more on big screens.

295
00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:25.039
<v Speaker 6>Well, I don't know about less. I don't think YouTube

296
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:27.120
<v Speaker 6>would want to say less on little phones, I think

297
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:30.840
<v Speaker 6>And here's the distinction here. So they're going by watch

298
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:34.480
<v Speaker 6>minutes and so if you ask me, of course you're

299
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:38.559
<v Speaker 6>going to be watching more on TV because you're watching longer, right,

300
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:41.919
<v Speaker 6>Like you're probably watching like longer form content on TV.

301
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.519
<v Speaker 6>So that makes it, you know, just overall, watch time

302
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:47.759
<v Speaker 6>is longer on TV than it is on mobile. But

303
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:49.600
<v Speaker 6>I still think people are on mobile a lot. But

304
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:51.879
<v Speaker 6>of course, you know this is all because of TikTok.

305
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:54.679
<v Speaker 6>You know, they're trying to position themselves as hey, we

306
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:57.360
<v Speaker 6>are still a force here, we are still very strong

307
00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:00.720
<v Speaker 6>and YouTube is very important as by the way, they

308
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:05.359
<v Speaker 6>are celebrating twenty years this year, which oh my gosh,

309
00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:08.480
<v Speaker 6>twenty years of YouTube, and so they talked about in

310
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.079
<v Speaker 6>this recent blog post. They just kind of go through

311
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:12.960
<v Speaker 6>all these things about how YouTube is such a big

312
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:16.319
<v Speaker 6>business and how content creation is so huge, and it's

313
00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:19.920
<v Speaker 6>pretty wild because some of these creators, you know, they

314
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:23.680
<v Speaker 6>have studios and you know, a lot of staff. I mean,

315
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:27.440
<v Speaker 6>it's pretty wild how many businesses have been built on the.

316
00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:29.400
<v Speaker 4>Back of YouTube, which is pretty cool.

317
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I would rather watch it on a big screen.

318
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:36.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm tired of looking at stuff on my phone. I

319
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:38.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Do you ever get phone fatigue?

320
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:39.839
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, no, No.

321
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:43.759
<v Speaker 6>Well it's funny because I'm kind of depends on the day,

322
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:46.079
<v Speaker 6>but sometimes I'm too lazy to turn on my TV

323
00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:48.319
<v Speaker 6>to open up YouTube, so I will literally just go

324
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:49.720
<v Speaker 6>on my phone.

325
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:52.759
<v Speaker 1>And I do that with this with my computer. I'm like,

326
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I should go and look up this on my computer,

327
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:56.160
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, oh, but then I have to go

328
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:58.039
<v Speaker 1>into the other room and I can just do it here.

329
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:01.839
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we're lazy, yeah, yeah, yeah.

330
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:07.519
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So for people who have multiple Apple accounts, a

331
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:09.799
<v Speaker 1>time of consolidation has arrived.

332
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:12.559
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and this is kind of a big shift. So

333
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:14.599
<v Speaker 6>I don't know about you, But I've had two Apple

334
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:17.519
<v Speaker 6>accounts since like day one, because you didn't realize when

335
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:19.599
<v Speaker 6>you set up your original account just how much of

336
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:22.720
<v Speaker 6>your life would be linked to that account. And so

337
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:25.559
<v Speaker 6>when I set mine up, I use this random email address,

338
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:28.359
<v Speaker 6>and ever since then, because I started buying things on

339
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:31.960
<v Speaker 6>that account, I've had to stick to that one forever. Well,

340
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:35.400
<v Speaker 6>now they say if you have two Apple accounts with

341
00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:38.240
<v Speaker 6>different purchases and things between them, Apple has a way

342
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:40.920
<v Speaker 6>for you to consolidate them, so you can actually move

343
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:43.640
<v Speaker 6>the content from one account to another. So pick your

344
00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:47.240
<v Speaker 6>favorite and then you can go into Settings, Media and

345
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:50.720
<v Speaker 6>Purchases and tap view account and then there's like a

346
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:54.119
<v Speaker 6>new migrate purchases option, So basically you can move everything

347
00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:56.000
<v Speaker 6>over to the new account or the you know, whichever

348
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:58.599
<v Speaker 6>account you prefer, and then you can use that from

349
00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:00.960
<v Speaker 6>now on. So this is kind of a big shift

350
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:03.240
<v Speaker 6>because for many years it's been kind of tough to

351
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:06.000
<v Speaker 6>change things about your Apple account, including your email address.

352
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:08.680
<v Speaker 4>So I'm all for this.

353
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:13.039
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well, yeah, less is more in my opinion, And

354
00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:16.960
<v Speaker 1>I just mentioned to Wake Up Call listeners that there

355
00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:18.960
<v Speaker 1>is a reason that they need to get their news

356
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.920
<v Speaker 1>from us here on KFI and that's because AI gets

357
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:25.880
<v Speaker 1>it wrong. Sometimes it gets it wrong.

358
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:28.240
<v Speaker 6>A lot, And as someone who uses AI on a

359
00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:31.359
<v Speaker 6>daily basis, my kid last night too, was just laughing

360
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:33.519
<v Speaker 6>at some of the things that it gets wrong, and

361
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:35.640
<v Speaker 6>it does it with confidence. And I think that's the

362
00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:37.680
<v Speaker 6>scary part, is that you don't know if it's wrong

363
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:40.680
<v Speaker 6>unless you know what's wrong about it. BBC did a

364
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:45.359
<v Speaker 6>study and they looked at CHATCHBT Copilot from Microsoft, Gemini

365
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:49.079
<v Speaker 6>from Google, and Perplexity and they basically fed them stories

366
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:52.160
<v Speaker 6>from the BBC website and then kind of had journalists

367
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:54.440
<v Speaker 6>look and see what was right and what was wrong.

368
00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:59.119
<v Speaker 6>And they said there were significant inaccuracies and distortions and

369
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.440
<v Speaker 6>if one percent of all AI answers to questions about

370
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:08.440
<v Speaker 6>the news had significant issues, nineteen percent of AI answers

371
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:09.640
<v Speaker 6>had factual errors.

372
00:20:10.279 --> 00:20:13.039
<v Speaker 4>And who did the best, well, who did the worst?

373
00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:17.240
<v Speaker 6>Microsoft's Copilot and Google's Gemini, Chat GPT and Perplexity did

374
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:17.920
<v Speaker 6>a little bit better.

375
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So here's a question for you, rich. If you

376
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:25.880
<v Speaker 1>say you want chat GPT to give you a news

377
00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:29.480
<v Speaker 1>story or something, can you then ask the AI to

378
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:31.079
<v Speaker 1>fact check check itself.

379
00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:35.839
<v Speaker 6>You can, Yes, you can, and it will go and

380
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:38.279
<v Speaker 6>take a second look on Google. They actually have this

381
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:41.119
<v Speaker 6>built in, so Google knew that this was a problem.

382
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:44.240
<v Speaker 6>And so if you look at any answer from Gemini,

383
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:48.240
<v Speaker 6>there is a little Google search button at the bottom

384
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:51.200
<v Speaker 6>and if you tap that, it will go through and

385
00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:55.599
<v Speaker 6>fact check everything. So oh interesting, they changed it. They

386
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:59.200
<v Speaker 6>actually now it says double check response on Google, so

387
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:01.759
<v Speaker 6>if you tap that, it will then search Google for

388
00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:05.480
<v Speaker 6>the response and highlight any inaccuracies or errors.

389
00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:08.119
<v Speaker 4>So it's kind of smart in that aspect.

390
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:10.640
<v Speaker 6>With chat GBT, you could just ask to reconsider, say hey,

391
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:12.680
<v Speaker 6>can you check that, check those facts.

392
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:14.519
<v Speaker 4>And we'll go out and double check them that way.

393
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:16.559
<v Speaker 1>So he's kind of like Sanna making a list in

394
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:17.559
<v Speaker 1>checking it twice.

395
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:19.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but not automatically.

396
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:22.240
<v Speaker 6>So the reality is these things just come up with

397
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:25.559
<v Speaker 6>answers sometimes that they seem like they're right and they're not.

398
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so make sure to be careful you do double check, okay.

399
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:32.359
<v Speaker 1>KF tech guy is rich Demiro and you can hear

400
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:36.559
<v Speaker 1>him every Saturday from eleven to two right here. It's

401
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:39.559
<v Speaker 1>rich on Tech and you can also see him on KTLA.

402
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:42.160
<v Speaker 1>You can follow him on Instagram at rich on tech

403
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:44.559
<v Speaker 1>and you can get information about all the stuff he

404
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.119
<v Speaker 1>talks about on his website. Rich On tech dot TV.

405
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:50.319
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, rich Damuro, Thanks Amy, have a great day

406
00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:50.759
<v Speaker 4>you too.

407
00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:54.759
<v Speaker 1>A mix of snow, freezing rain, and ice from another

408
00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:57.599
<v Speaker 1>big winter storm has causing a lot of trouble across

409
00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:01.440
<v Speaker 1>parts of the East Coast. ABC's Eefany Ramo says there

410
00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:04.039
<v Speaker 1>have been white out conditions in Virginia and up to

411
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:04.759
<v Speaker 1>a foot of snow.

412
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:08.279
<v Speaker 11>Multiple tractor trailers stranded along inner Streets eighty one and

413
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:12.160
<v Speaker 11>sixty four near Stanton, the governor declaring a state of emergency.

414
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:16.599
<v Speaker 11>Traffic cameras on I ninety five showing multiple accidents near Richmond.

415
00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:18.720
<v Speaker 1>She says in Washington, d C. Snow has been falling

416
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:22.119
<v Speaker 1>at about an inch per hour. We're also expecting a

417
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:25.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of snow in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada.

418
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Different storm, obviously. A man from Compton has pleaded not

419
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:34.319
<v Speaker 1>guilty to causing a multi vehicle crash that killed a

420
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Manhattan Beach Police motorcycle officer. Police Ay Raymond Sanders didn't

421
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:42.119
<v Speaker 1>secure boxes on his truck. The boxes fell off and

422
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:45.200
<v Speaker 1>that caused a crash with three other vehicles and motorcycle

423
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:48.559
<v Speaker 1>officer Chad Swanson. In October of twenty twenty three, Swanson

424
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:51.759
<v Speaker 1>was thrown from his bike and died. Sanders could face

425
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:54.279
<v Speaker 1>a year in jail if convicted. A thirty three year

426
00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:56.599
<v Speaker 1>old man has pleaded no contest to charges that he

427
00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:58.960
<v Speaker 1>pistol whipped a seventy one year old woman in her

428
00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:01.960
<v Speaker 1>home in Beverly Grove and stole a bunch of her jewelry.

429
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Dylan Clinkey was immediately sentenced to ten years in state

430
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:08.839
<v Speaker 1>prison for the home invasion. In August of twenty twenty two,

431
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:13.279
<v Speaker 1>Wrapper Asap Rocky has decided not to testify in his

432
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:16.960
<v Speaker 1>gun assault trial. His defense rested yesterday without Rocky taking

433
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:20.039
<v Speaker 1>the stand. Asap is charged with two felony counts of

434
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:24.359
<v Speaker 1>assault with a semi automatic firearm. His lawyers say he

435
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:27.160
<v Speaker 1>was carrying a prop gun when a fight broke out

436
00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:30.680
<v Speaker 1>on a street in Hollywood in November of twenty twenty one.

437
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:35.839
<v Speaker 1>National Weather Service meteorologist Ariel Cohen is urging people not

438
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:39.079
<v Speaker 1>to ignore the flood warning ahead of an atmospheric river storm.

439
00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:42.799
<v Speaker 1>Cohen says there could be life threatening mud and debris

440
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:46.119
<v Speaker 1>flows in the wildfire burn areas from two pm tomorrow

441
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:50.279
<v Speaker 1>through Friday at two am, k Rail's sandbags and compost

442
00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:54.039
<v Speaker 1>socks are being set up to try to minimize damage

443
00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:57.240
<v Speaker 1>from flooding. The La County Board of Supervisors has approved

444
00:23:57.240 --> 00:23:59.960
<v Speaker 1>a motion to increase the penalty for price gouging dirty

445
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:03.480
<v Speaker 1>states of emergency to a maximum of fifty thousand dollars

446
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:06.559
<v Speaker 1>per violation. Right now it's ten thousand. The vote comes

447
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:10.079
<v Speaker 1>following reports of landlords and businesses jacking up prices after

448
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:13.680
<v Speaker 1>the wildfires. Costco has become the latest retailer to limit

449
00:24:13.839 --> 00:24:18.039
<v Speaker 1>egg purchases. Shoppers have been seen on video recently loading

450
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:20.680
<v Speaker 1>up carts with eggs, which are in short supply because

451
00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:23.519
<v Speaker 1>of bird flu. Costco has been selling out at times

452
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:26.960
<v Speaker 1>after about ten minutes. Customers are now limited to three

453
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:30.319
<v Speaker 1>packages of eggs per day. At six oh five, it's

454
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.759
<v Speaker 1>handle on the news. Twenty four hundred new JFK assassination

455
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:37.079
<v Speaker 1>records have been discovered. What do they say? And will

456
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:39.160
<v Speaker 1>we get to see them? Bill, We'll tell you.

457
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:48.559
<v Speaker 3>AMI's on it, Dami's on this, AA's on it, Gami's

458
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:48.920
<v Speaker 3>on it?

459
00:24:50.920 --> 00:24:56.240
<v Speaker 1>What am I on? I'm mostly on the stream shows movies, documentaries,

460
00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:58.240
<v Speaker 1>and every once in a while step outside and go

461
00:24:58.319 --> 00:25:01.640
<v Speaker 1>see a movie or read a book. But this week

462
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:06.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm on award nominated movies because we have the Academy

463
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:09.599
<v Speaker 1>Awards coming up on March second, and then the SAG

464
00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Awards are in a couple of weekends. I think February

465
00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:16.559
<v Speaker 1>twenty third is the date, and so I wanted to

466
00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:19.039
<v Speaker 1>make sure that I, well, I am a SAG member,

467
00:25:20.039 --> 00:25:23.640
<v Speaker 1>so I wanted to make sure that I see all

468
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:25.960
<v Speaker 1>the movies so I can make an informed decision when

469
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I cast my boat my vote. So this week I

470
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:34.920
<v Speaker 1>am on Amelia Perez. It's on Netflix, so if you

471
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:36.720
<v Speaker 1>have Netflix, you don't have to pay extra to see it.

472
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Some of the movies either aren't available yet on streaming

473
00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:42.319
<v Speaker 1>or you have to rent them or buy them and

474
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:44.200
<v Speaker 1>they're up to like twenty bucks. But this one is

475
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:48.400
<v Speaker 1>included in your Netflix. Zoe Saldana, who's already won a

476
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Golden Globe for this movie. Selena Gomez is in it.

477
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:56.279
<v Speaker 1>Carla Sophia Gascone is in it, nominated for Best Actress.

478
00:25:57.039 --> 00:26:01.640
<v Speaker 1>It's a musical, a musical and not like a happy

479
00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:05.759
<v Speaker 1>Joy Joy musical, but it's a musical about a transgender journey.

480
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:10.799
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like it's a story of regret and

481
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:13.440
<v Speaker 1>a hope for a new existence and a new future,

482
00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:17.559
<v Speaker 1>and there it turns out there is dark redemption for

483
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Amelia Perez. So the movie looks into the cartels and

484
00:26:24.000 --> 00:26:26.319
<v Speaker 1>it's really fascinating. I will tell you up front, I

485
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.480
<v Speaker 1>did not expect to like this movie, but it's it

486
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:34.000
<v Speaker 1>shows the cartels, what they do to people, how people

487
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:36.839
<v Speaker 1>don't really matter because it's all about the drug trade

488
00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:39.400
<v Speaker 1>and takes a closer look at that and how people

489
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:43.680
<v Speaker 1>just are really collateral damage. And it was a lot

490
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:46.599
<v Speaker 1>more compelling and interesting that I thought it would be.

491
00:26:46.680 --> 00:26:48.960
<v Speaker 1>It kind of sheds the light on how far reaching

492
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:53.039
<v Speaker 1>control of the cartels go in Mexico, how the drug

493
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:56.559
<v Speaker 1>trade is tied to every level of society. And this

494
00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:01.880
<v Speaker 1>movie has lots of surprises, lots of unexpected plot twists.

495
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:05.720
<v Speaker 1>There are also some very uncomfortable moments when you are

496
00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:08.799
<v Speaker 1>wondering if something is going to happen, and then that

497
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:11.559
<v Speaker 1>leads to something unexpected. So I do like when a

498
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:14.319
<v Speaker 1>movie kind of grips you and has you maybe not

499
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:15.720
<v Speaker 1>on the edge of your seat, but you're kind of

500
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:17.559
<v Speaker 1>sitting there going will is that going to happen? Is

501
00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:19.960
<v Speaker 1>that going to happen, So it keeps you really engaged

502
00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:22.440
<v Speaker 1>in that. And again, it's a it's a transgender journey.

503
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:24.440
<v Speaker 1>You know that from the get go that somebody's going

504
00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:29.240
<v Speaker 1>to make the transition, and it's all about that, and

505
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:34.720
<v Speaker 1>obviously it's Carlo Sophia Gascon, but her transformation is fascinating

506
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:38.400
<v Speaker 1>in the movie. And then the big question is can

507
00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:41.119
<v Speaker 1>a tiger change its stripes? I mean, can you can

508
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:43.920
<v Speaker 1>you teach an old dog nude trips tricks? And can

509
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:47.079
<v Speaker 1>there be a happy ending for someone who lived a

510
00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:52.680
<v Speaker 1>very violent and tragic past. So it's going to also

511
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:57.400
<v Speaker 1>be interesting to see if the controversy over the old

512
00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:01.759
<v Speaker 1>social media posts from Carlos Sophia Scone is going to

513
00:28:01.880 --> 00:28:06.599
<v Speaker 1>keep SAG members and Academy members from voting for this movie.

514
00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:10.039
<v Speaker 1>So she's pretty much been canceled. But is that going

515
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:12.920
<v Speaker 1>to spin over to the movie and what it can

516
00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:15.720
<v Speaker 1>do now because voting is underway, you know, like I said,

517
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Zoe Saldona, Saldona who is nominated and she's already won

518
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:21.880
<v Speaker 1>a Golden Glo Globe and she does a great job.

519
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:24.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like everybody does a really good job in

520
00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:27.720
<v Speaker 1>this movie. And it's a dark movie. And it's a musical,

521
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:31.319
<v Speaker 1>which is so counterintuitive, but it was a really good watch.

522
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:34.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm on it. I think you might want to be

523
00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:39.039
<v Speaker 1>as well. Okay, let's get on to money stuff and

524
00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:44.640
<v Speaker 1>check in with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho. Good morning, Courtney morning.

525
00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:47.880
<v Speaker 13>We are sitting here looking at the Consumer Price Report

526
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:50.559
<v Speaker 13>this morning that just came out moments ago, and that's

527
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:51.200
<v Speaker 13>why we have you.

528
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:53.680
<v Speaker 3>And it was it was ugly.

529
00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Now it was what happens well.

530
00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:59.359
<v Speaker 13>This report is sponsored by Fidelity Wealth Management. Want to

531
00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:02.880
<v Speaker 13>point that out first, but inflation has been more stubborn

532
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:03.400
<v Speaker 13>than expected.

533
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:05.440
<v Speaker 3>We talk about this all the time. I'm looking right

534
00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:06.039
<v Speaker 3>at you.

535
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:11.119
<v Speaker 13>Eggs for consumer prices, which excludes food and energy, that

536
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:14.319
<v Speaker 13>increased three point three percent from a year ago, much

537
00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:18.400
<v Speaker 13>more than what economists were expecting. Overall CPI, which has

538
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:21.680
<v Speaker 13>food and energy in the calculation, that's up by three percent.

539
00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:24.440
<v Speaker 13>That was also more than estimate. So we're seeing these

540
00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:27.920
<v Speaker 13>readings that were hotter than expected. Shelter costs that was

541
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:31.640
<v Speaker 13>a big driver, car insurance, airfares too. And of course

542
00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:33.799
<v Speaker 13>I have to point out the egg index that rose

543
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:37.480
<v Speaker 13>by fifteen percent, the motions twenty fifteen that wasn't a surprise,

544
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:40.799
<v Speaker 13>but yeah, stocks are taking a dive after that. Dow

545
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:44.119
<v Speaker 13>futures right now down four hundred and thirty five points.

546
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So Corney, when you see big stuff like this

547
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:50.240
<v Speaker 1>and obviously a bad report and the stocks take a

548
00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:52.799
<v Speaker 1>huge dive, people shouldn't panic, right.

549
00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:56.240
<v Speaker 13>No, No, but this report is not looking all that

550
00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:59.000
<v Speaker 13>good for the Federal Reserve, and it may stoke a

551
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:02.440
<v Speaker 13>lot of speculation out there that the potential next move

552
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:05.559
<v Speaker 13>from the Central Bank might be higher, not lowered, that

553
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:08.720
<v Speaker 13>they'd raise interest rates not drop them as we've been

554
00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:09.799
<v Speaker 13>going through recently.

555
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:12.119
<v Speaker 3>And don't forget that fed shir J. Powell.

556
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:14.279
<v Speaker 13>He's on Capitol Hill for his second day of his

557
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:18.200
<v Speaker 13>marathon testimony. He speaks to the House, so I'm sure

558
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:22.200
<v Speaker 13>he's going to be addressing this situation today in this report,

559
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:25.039
<v Speaker 13>and I'm sure Congress is going to be asking him

560
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:28.119
<v Speaker 13>about this because this is definitely hitting us all in

561
00:30:28.160 --> 00:30:32.319
<v Speaker 13>our pocketbooks, I think, more than what investors are seeing

562
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:34.799
<v Speaker 13>when we go to the gas station, when we go

563
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:37.640
<v Speaker 13>to the grocery store. Lots of people are feeling pain

564
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:40.039
<v Speaker 13>right now, and we could see it in reports like this.

565
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:45.559
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So someone who's not feeling pain is Drake because

566
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:48.119
<v Speaker 1>he's winning big when it comes to Dave's Out Chicken.

567
00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:52.480
<v Speaker 13>Yes, yes, he may be losing to Kendrick Lamar in

568
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:55.400
<v Speaker 13>his feud, but he's looking like a winner with his

569
00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:58.359
<v Speaker 13>investment in Dave's Hot Chicken. So the Fried Chicken chain

570
00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:02.000
<v Speaker 13>and the Chicken chain's known for its Nashville Hot Chicken,

571
00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:03.039
<v Speaker 13>which we love.

572
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:05.960
<v Speaker 3>It's said to be exploring a potential sale.

573
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:08.640
<v Speaker 13>It could value the company at about a billion dollars.

574
00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:11.279
<v Speaker 13>That's according to Reuter's. So he came on as an

575
00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:13.119
<v Speaker 13>investor back in twenty twenty one.

576
00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:15.880
<v Speaker 1>So he's gonna he'll come out smelling like a rose

577
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:16.480
<v Speaker 1>on that one.

578
00:31:16.599 --> 00:31:18.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and a lot of other big names are in

579
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:22.160
<v Speaker 3>this too, Samuel L. Jackson. I know Usher has a

580
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:22.640
<v Speaker 3>couple of.

581
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:25.200
<v Speaker 13>Franchises too, So there's gonna be a lot of people

582
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:27.160
<v Speaker 13>making some money on this if this is sold.

583
00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, how can you go wrong when it comes to

584
00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:31.839
<v Speaker 1>Hot Chicken? God, I love that stuff. Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe,

585
00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:34.319
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much. We get to talk to Courtney

586
00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:36.720
<v Speaker 1>every day so she can keep us up on what's

587
00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:38.799
<v Speaker 1>going on with our money. And we'll talk to her

588
00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:41.559
<v Speaker 1>again tomorrow. Thanks Courtney, see you later. All right, let's

589
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:42.759
<v Speaker 1>get back to some of the stories coming out of

590
00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:45.599
<v Speaker 1>the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Senate Republicans have met

591
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:49.279
<v Speaker 1>in private with Borders are Tom Holman and newly minted

592
00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:53.200
<v Speaker 1>OMB director Russ Fott to talk about new funding to

593
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:55.920
<v Speaker 1>secure the border. Budget Committee Chairman Lindsay Graham says they

594
00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:57.680
<v Speaker 1>made the case for a plan that would see one

595
00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:00.920
<v Speaker 1>hundred and seventy five billion dollars over four years allocated

596
00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:03.759
<v Speaker 1>to shoring up the border. After hearing these two gentlemen,

597
00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:05.039
<v Speaker 1>we're living on board time.

598
00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:08.759
<v Speaker 10>I've never been more worried about a terrorist attack on

599
00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:10.119
<v Speaker 10>our homeland than I am now.

600
00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:12.559
<v Speaker 1>It comes as the House and Senator working on but

601
00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:14.960
<v Speaker 1>on a budget bill that would fund the government passed

602
00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:18.960
<v Speaker 1>next month. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natanielle, who is threatened

603
00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:21.599
<v Speaker 1>to withdraw from the ceasefire with Hamas and less more

604
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:25.400
<v Speaker 1>hostages held in Gaza are released as scheduled on Saturday.

605
00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Hamas has accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement and

606
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:32.559
<v Speaker 1>saying the release would be postponed. President Trump said this

607
00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:35.200
<v Speaker 1>week that all the hostages should be released by noon

608
00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:37.079
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday, not just a few at a time.

609
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:41.240
<v Speaker 9>Those people have been badly hurt, both mentally and physically.

610
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:44.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm talking about the young women that came.

611
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:47.519
<v Speaker 12>Out also previously, and I think one of the reasons

612
00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:48.119
<v Speaker 12>they're doing.

613
00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:50.200
<v Speaker 10>This is because they're probably sending the best.

614
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:53.440
<v Speaker 1>So far, sixteen of thirty three hostages scheduled to be

615
00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:56.160
<v Speaker 1>released in the current phase of the agreement have been

616
00:32:56.200 --> 00:33:01.799
<v Speaker 1>freed by hamas some appeared emaciated. And we on a

617
00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:05.200
<v Speaker 1>happier note, Monty the Giant Schnauzer has one Best in

618
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:08.039
<v Speaker 1>Show at the one hundred and forty ninth Westminster Kennel

619
00:33:08.039 --> 00:33:12.119
<v Speaker 1>Club Dog Show. Monty beat out about twenty five hundred

620
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:14.880
<v Speaker 1>dogs for more than two hundred breeds to take the

621
00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:18.200
<v Speaker 1>title at Madison Square Garden last night. And I didn't

622
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:19.960
<v Speaker 1>know this. They get ribbons and all that stuff, but

623
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:24.279
<v Speaker 1>they don't get a monetary win. It's just because for

624
00:33:24.359 --> 00:33:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the love of dogs. I love that. A fast moving

625
00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:30.559
<v Speaker 1>storm is moving on shore and is expected to dump

626
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:33.160
<v Speaker 1>up to six inches of rain in some parts of

627
00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:36.000
<v Speaker 1>the state. Crews have been putting in k rails and

628
00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:39.440
<v Speaker 1>creating troughs to divert rain that could trigger mud slides.

629
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:43.319
<v Speaker 1>And flooding, especially in the Palisades and eat and burn areas.

630
00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:47.359
<v Speaker 1>Kanye West's website has been taken offline after he used

631
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:49.559
<v Speaker 1>a Super Bowl ad to try to sell swastika t

632
00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:52.880
<v Speaker 1>shirts on its site. Shopify said the merchant did not,

633
00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:57.400
<v Speaker 1>in its words, engage in authentic commerce practices and violated

634
00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:00.480
<v Speaker 1>its terms, so it was removed from Shopify. Super Bowl

635
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:03.720
<v Speaker 1>ad followed a bunch of anti semitic posts on West

636
00:34:03.839 --> 00:34:08.800
<v Speaker 1>social media last weekend. California lawmakers have introduced several bills

637
00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:10.880
<v Speaker 1>to crack down on the sale of puppies from out

638
00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:13.800
<v Speaker 1>of state puppy mills. Assembly Member Mark Berman says his

639
00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:16.639
<v Speaker 1>bill would close the loophole in the state's pet retail

640
00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:20.280
<v Speaker 1>band by preventing brokers from shipping or selling dogs to

641
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:23.679
<v Speaker 1>consumers in California. We're just minutes away from handle. On

642
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the news this morning, the Fair Insurance Plan says it

643
00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:29.360
<v Speaker 1>needs a billion dollars. Guess who's going to be giving

644
00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:32.360
<v Speaker 1>it to them. So we've had the fires, the floods

645
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:34.719
<v Speaker 1>could be coming, and so now it is time to

646
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:37.639
<v Speaker 1>bolt up. And it doesn't have anything to do with

647
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:41.159
<v Speaker 1>the LA Chargers joining wakeup call is the chief Mitigation

648
00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:44.360
<v Speaker 1>officer for the California Earthquake Authority. Let's say good morning

649
00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:46.199
<v Speaker 1>to Janille Mfay. Morning.

650
00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:49.599
<v Speaker 9>Janille, good morning, Thank you for having me.

651
00:34:49.719 --> 00:34:52.159
<v Speaker 1>Thanks so much for coming on. I know that we

652
00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:54.800
<v Speaker 1>had talked about this in the past, but now this

653
00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:59.400
<v Speaker 1>new program is becoming available starting tomorrow, and we want

654
00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:01.719
<v Speaker 1>to get the word out so people take advantage of it.

655
00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:04.639
<v Speaker 1>And it's going to help protect your home against an earthquake.

656
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:10.199
<v Speaker 9>It's right. The Earthquake Brace and Bolt program is open

657
00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:14.440
<v Speaker 9>and ready for registrations. It's an important opportunity to make

658
00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:17.519
<v Speaker 9>your house more resistant to earthquake damage.

659
00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so it's called earthquake Brace and Bolt. So tell

660
00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:25.719
<v Speaker 1>us what exactly we need to do and what the

661
00:35:26.400 --> 00:35:30.800
<v Speaker 1>money goes to. How do people make their homes safer? Right?

662
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:33.360
<v Speaker 9>So this is so very important for older houses, and

663
00:35:33.840 --> 00:35:36.840
<v Speaker 9>to be more specific, if you have a pre nineteen

664
00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:39.840
<v Speaker 9>eighty house, you might have this vulnerability. If you have

665
00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:43.280
<v Speaker 9>a pre nineteen forty house, you do have this vulnerability.

666
00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:46.119
<v Speaker 9>And it's the house that has a crawl space under it,

667
00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:49.119
<v Speaker 9>under that first floor. And the older houses were just

668
00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:51.159
<v Speaker 9>designed and built before we knew a lot about how

669
00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:55.519
<v Speaker 9>buildings performed in earthquakes, and so it lacks bolting to

670
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:59.159
<v Speaker 9>the foundation and bracing around those short little walls around

671
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:02.039
<v Speaker 9>the crawl space, and this can be very, very devastating.

672
00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:05.719
<v Speaker 9>These houses come off their foundation, not yet reoccupied, two

673
00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:08.679
<v Speaker 9>and a half years later and you're out somewhere else,

674
00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:11.599
<v Speaker 9>living somewhere else, all the while still paying that mortgage.

675
00:36:11.719 --> 00:36:16.159
<v Speaker 9>So earthquake Brace and Bolt has some great retrofit schemes

676
00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:19.119
<v Speaker 9>to make your house more protected in an earthquake.

677
00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so Janelle, And it's as simple. I mean, I'm

678
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:24.760
<v Speaker 1>sure it's not like I can't do it myself, but

679
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:29.199
<v Speaker 1>it's as simple as bolting the foundation and like putting

680
00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:32.159
<v Speaker 1>the foundation and the house together so when there's a

681
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:35.440
<v Speaker 1>significant shaking, the house doesn't bounce off the foundation.

682
00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:39.840
<v Speaker 9>That's exactly right. And you know, maybe Amy, you and

683
00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:41.519
<v Speaker 9>I couldn't do it, but there are some talented do

684
00:36:41.559 --> 00:36:44.519
<v Speaker 9>it yourselfers who actually can do this work. People who

685
00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:47.119
<v Speaker 9>you have already got the tools of contractor can do

686
00:36:47.159 --> 00:36:49.519
<v Speaker 9>this in two to three days. It's really it's all

687
00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:52.119
<v Speaker 9>under the house, and nobody's patting around your house and

688
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:55.079
<v Speaker 9>little booties and that's exactly right. They're going under the

689
00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:57.159
<v Speaker 9>house and they're putting bolts between the wood part of

690
00:36:57.199 --> 00:37:00.639
<v Speaker 9>the house and the concrete foundation. And then they're putting plywood.

691
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:02.800
<v Speaker 9>If you've got those short little stud walls, they're putting

692
00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:05.639
<v Speaker 9>plywood and nailing it up. Like everybody's heard the term

693
00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:09.079
<v Speaker 9>shear wall. Just nice stiff plywood that's going to keep

694
00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:10.400
<v Speaker 9>that house over its foundation.

695
00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:14.719
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and you can get help doing this because obviously

696
00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:17.760
<v Speaker 1>it's not going to be free, but the California Earthquake

697
00:37:17.800 --> 00:37:19.679
<v Speaker 1>Authority can help you pay for this.

698
00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:23.840
<v Speaker 9>It's exactly right. What we have are grants. These are

699
00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:27.679
<v Speaker 9>not loans, they're grants, and on average it's about fifty

700
00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:30.320
<v Speaker 9>two hundred dollars retrofit, a little bit less expensive actually

701
00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:32.920
<v Speaker 9>in southern California, and we have an up to three

702
00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:36.320
<v Speaker 9>thousand dollars grant that's our typical grant, and then very

703
00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:40.760
<v Speaker 9>importantly for income qualifying households, we have an additional supplemental

704
00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:44.800
<v Speaker 9>grant that down in southern California can help and for

705
00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:48.119
<v Speaker 9>many people might pay for the entire retrofit. So very

706
00:37:48.199 --> 00:37:51.599
<v Speaker 9>important also is that we have the rules, and the

707
00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:54.800
<v Speaker 9>rules are that you do a code compliant retrofit. You

708
00:37:54.840 --> 00:37:57.159
<v Speaker 9>do the entire cross space you do it with a permit,

709
00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:01.480
<v Speaker 9>and you significantly increase the likelihood that house is going

710
00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:05.039
<v Speaker 9>to stay on its foundation in an earthquake. Lots of information,

711
00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:07.440
<v Speaker 9>Our rules are going to keep you right there at

712
00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:10.679
<v Speaker 9>that code compliant retrofit, and that permit process will keep

713
00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:15.400
<v Speaker 9>you on schedule, and it's a grant and really really

714
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:18.000
<v Speaker 9>increase the likelihood that you can shelter in place after

715
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:18.599
<v Speaker 9>an earthquake.

716
00:38:18.719 --> 00:38:20.880
<v Speaker 1>I love that, so kind of an ounce of prevention.

717
00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:23.039
<v Speaker 1>Spend a little bit now, a little bit of time,

718
00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:24.920
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully get some grant to help you with it

719
00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:27.800
<v Speaker 1>and save your house from probably hundreds of thousands of

720
00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:30.280
<v Speaker 1>dollars in damage. Where do they get more information, Janille?

721
00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:36.400
<v Speaker 9>So Earthquake bracebolt dot com registration open until March twenty six,

722
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:39.079
<v Speaker 9>and we've got fantastic people the other end of a

723
00:38:39.440 --> 00:38:41.159
<v Speaker 9>phone or email if you have questions.

724
00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, great Janille Mfi with the California Earthquake Authority, the

725
00:38:46.559 --> 00:38:51.079
<v Speaker 1>chief Mitigation Officers. Such great information again, Earthquake brace Bolt.

726
00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Find out if your house is going to get one

727
00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:56.880
<v Speaker 1>of those grants to make your house more earthquakes safe.

728
00:38:57.079 --> 00:39:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Janael, thank you, such good information. Just think about it.

729
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean even if you had to pay for the

730
00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:05.280
<v Speaker 1>whole thing yourself, which she say, five thousand dollars, but

731
00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:08.280
<v Speaker 1>it'll keep your whole house from bouncing off the foundation.

732
00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, think of how much money that is going

733
00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:12.559
<v Speaker 1>to save you, and especially if you can get a

734
00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:14.760
<v Speaker 1>grant and get it paid for. Let's get back to

735
00:39:14.760 --> 00:39:16.480
<v Speaker 1>some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty

736
00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:19.199
<v Speaker 1>four hour newsroom. The LA School District has been sued

737
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:22.599
<v Speaker 1>over how it spent taxpayer approved money that was supposed

738
00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:26.119
<v Speaker 1>to go to arts education. The suit, filed by former

739
00:39:26.239 --> 00:39:29.599
<v Speaker 1>LA School's chief Austin Butner and others, claims the district

740
00:39:29.639 --> 00:39:33.679
<v Speaker 1>repeatedly violated state law by misusing millions of dollars and

741
00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:37.199
<v Speaker 1>misrepresenting how the money was spent. Voters approved money for

742
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:40.599
<v Speaker 1>arts education in schools in twenty twenty two. Hundreds of

743
00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:43.679
<v Speaker 1>illegal swatting calls have been pinned on a guy from Lancaster.

744
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:46.559
<v Speaker 8>Eighteen year old Alan Fillion has been sentenced to four

745
00:39:46.679 --> 00:39:49.239
