Speaker 1: didn't know until yesterday afternoon. Oh darn more winter. We're
Speaker 1: actually going to get some winter. We've got some rainstorms
Speaker 1: on the way and fog. It was like key soup
Speaker 1: in my neighborhood this morning, like super dark, and I
Speaker 1: was like, where are my fog lights? Where are my
Speaker 1: fog lights? And then I tried to find them and
Speaker 1: ended up turning off my headlines. I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: it's really dark out there. But anyway, so if you
Speaker 1: are heading out, the fog in some areas is very thick.
Speaker 1: By the time I got to Burbank, it was nice
Speaker 1: and clear, so no big deal, but be careful out there.

Speaker 1: Police have cleared streets and freeway in downtown LA after
Speaker 1: thousands of protesters took to the streets to protest President

Speaker 1: Hamas are set to get underway. We're going to be
Speaker 1: talking to Jordana Miller. Get the latest on that. In
Speaker 1: just a second, Let's get started with some of the
Speaker 1: stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 1: Thousands of people have marched in downtown LA to protest
Speaker 1: President Trump's immigration and deportation policies. Gayfi's Phil Farars's The
Speaker 1: group started on Alvera Street yesterday in what police called
Speaker 1: a non permitted demonstration.
Speaker 5: Demonstrators joining in unity near Los Angeles City Hall a
Speaker 5: block traffic at Spring and Temple Streets. By afternoon, marchers
Speaker 5: had blocked all lanes of the busy one oh one,
Speaker 5: causing traffic to back up in both directions.
Speaker 1: The demonstrations went on into the night. A few demonstrators
Speaker 1: were caught on video spring graffiti on freeway walls and
Speaker 1: appeared to vandalize at least one car that was stopped
Speaker 1: in the middle of the crowd. The crowd was broken
Speaker 1: up after an unlawful demonstration was declared. That happened just
Speaker 1: after six o'clock. La City and County have differing views
Speaker 1: on the reopening of Pacific Coast Highway near the Pacific
Speaker 1: Palisades fire area. Mayor Bass delayed the removal of checkpoints
Speaker 1: along the highway that was supposed to happen yesterday, saying
Speaker 1: it was in the interest of safety, but the county
Speaker 1: has open pch in Malibu and unincorporated areas as planned.
Speaker 1: Supervisor Lindsay Horvath says sheriff's deputies are still patrolling so
Speaker 1: residents can go back to their properties.
Speaker 6: Keeping our community safe, coordinated, and in clear communication is critical.
Speaker 1: She says communities in the LA area deserve consistency and
Speaker 1: core nation as they recover from the wildfires and start rebuilding.

Speaker 1: and possible thunderstorms for La Inventuria, Ventura counties, and then
Speaker 1: lighter rain expected in Orange County and the IE. Thousands
Speaker 1: of feet of k rails and sandbags have been installed
Speaker 1: as a precaution, but La City council Woman Tracy Park
Speaker 1: says that might not be enough.
Speaker 7: I don't know that there is enough k rail or
Speaker 7: sand bags in the world that will stop this from
Speaker 7: moving and potentially harming our ocean if we get a storm.
Speaker 1: That's bad enough. She says. There are already active landslides
Speaker 1: in the Palisades area because burned scars do not absorb water.
Speaker 1: So Britty Carpenter is this year's Grammy winner for Best

Speaker 1: was the expert on pop names. Okay, yes she is.
Speaker 1: Chappelle Chapel, you can tell. I'm a big fan, and
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift as well. Let's say good morning now to
Speaker 1: ABC's Jordana Miller. Jordana. So far, the ceasefire between Israel
Speaker 1: and Hamas has been holding. Hostages are being released and
Speaker 1: gosins are being allowed back into their neighborhoods. So what's
Speaker 1: happening now, right?
Speaker 8: We saw another successful release of three Israeli hostages and
Speaker 8: Israel also releasing over one hundred almost two hundred actually
Speaker 8: Palestinian prisoners that unfolded on Saturday, and it included the
Speaker 8: first American hostage, a native of North Carolina, Keith Siegel,
Speaker 8: that moved to Israel a few decades ago. He was
Speaker 8: kidnapped by Hamas on October seventh, and the sixty five
Speaker 8: year old was finally released on Saturday, looking kind of
Speaker 8: weak and thin, but able to walk and doctor State
Speaker 8: say he's in a stable condition. So that's all good news.
Speaker 8: Now we're looking forward to another hostage release three men
Speaker 8: coming up on next Saturday. Israel again will release more
Speaker 8: of Palestinian prisoners. In between, though, very important meetings will
Speaker 8: take place between the Israeli Prime Minister and President Trump,
Speaker 8: and they're being described here those meetings which are set
Speaker 8: for Tuesday as really the most critical for Natanyahu in
Speaker 8: his long and already you know, storied a political career.
Speaker 8: A lot on the line here. The President interested in
Speaker 8: Agaza seasfire, staying and holding enduring. Moving into phase two,
Speaker 8: what is supposed to end the war, bring all the
Speaker 8: hostages home, and remember there's still six Americans in Gaza,
Speaker 8: and a full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza strip. The
Speaker 8: President wants that as soon as possible, but the Israeli
Speaker 8: Prime Minister his timeline it may not be as quick,
Speaker 8: and he has a lot of fears about what's coming next,
Speaker 8: and he's still weighing another round of fighting in Gaza.
Speaker 8: So of course the President and the Israeli Prime Minister
Speaker 8: see eye to eye on a lot of issues, but
Speaker 8: they're going to have some tough talks on Gaza on
Speaker 8: what comes.
Speaker 1: Next, Okay, And then that's that's the big question because
Speaker 1: as we know that part of the ceasefire is that
Speaker 1: Israel's got to get all the way out of Gaza.
Speaker 8: Right, That's right, And you know the problem right now,
Speaker 8: Nathaniel's two central problems. The first is that he's part
Speaker 8: of a coalition with the far right and they are
Speaker 8: basically threatening to pull out of the government if he
Speaker 8: goes through and progresses to phase two of this deal,
Speaker 8: which will essentially end the war. The second issue that
Speaker 8: and that would push Natanielle out of power. The second
Speaker 8: issue that Nathaniel's facing and it's a very real issue
Speaker 8: whether you're on the right or the left here in
Speaker 8: Israel is that Hamas appears to be reasserting their control
Speaker 8: over the Gaza Strip and they're not signaling at all
Speaker 8: that they're going to step back and let somebody else
Speaker 8: run the Gaza Strip. And that's critical to phase two
Speaker 8: of the deal.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 8: The United States and Israel do not want to see
Speaker 8: Hamas in power anymore, and Hamas seems to be trying
Speaker 8: to hold on, to survive in some way and even
Speaker 8: say hey, we're here for good. So these are very
Speaker 8: thorny issues. And israel I do not believe this is
Speaker 8: going to withdraw from the Gaza Strip until these issues
Speaker 8: of post war Gaza are settled, and they may take
Speaker 8: some time, more time than President Trump has the patients for.
Speaker 8: And I think that's where we're going to see some
Speaker 8: of the tension between the President and the Israeli Prime Minister.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, we'll see what they do and if they
Speaker 1: present a united front. That meeting happening tomorrow. ABC Stredona Miller,
Speaker 1: thank you so much.
Speaker 8: Talk soon.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk to you soon. Let's get back
Speaker 1: to some of the stories coming out of the KFI
Speaker 1: twenty four hour newsroom. Officials in the DC area say
Speaker 1: the bodies of fifty five people have now been recovered

Speaker 1: more criticism for firing federal prosecutors involved in January sixth prosecutions.
Speaker 1: On Friday, he ordered more than a half dozen FBI
Speaker 1: senior executives to retire or be fired or be demoted
Speaker 1: by today. Former New York, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie
Speaker 1: says Trump doesn't care if the move ends up in lawsuits.
Speaker 8: He gets to.
Speaker 9: Make the statement, the aggressive statement of doing firing inspectors
Speaker 9: general or in this case, what he's doing at the
Speaker 9: Justice Department of the FBI, and then it gets handed
Speaker 9: over to the courts, and if the court's overturn him,
Speaker 9: he blames it on the courts.
Speaker 1: ABC News says thousands of FBI employees have been sent
Speaker 1: questionnaires to determine their roles in investigations or prosecutions related
Speaker 1: to January sixth, and have until this afternoon to fill
Speaker 1: them out. Childcare providers across the US are reporting an
Speaker 1: increase in applicants. One likely factor is that government workers
Speaker 1: have to go back to the office and need to
Speaker 1: find childcare for their kids. Liz Levitt, Tofty runs a
Speaker 1: daycare center, says she relies on federal funding to increase
Speaker 1: her workforce, but that the Trump administration's proposed freeze on
Speaker 1: grants would make that difficult.
Speaker 9: We need more funding as it is so ending what
Speaker 9: we do have right now that happen or we're going
Speaker 9: to fall apart as a childcare system.
Speaker 1: She says. If federal loans and grants end, it would
Speaker 1: be catastrophic. The head of Meta says he sees twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five as a really big year for his Company's

Speaker 1: A recent survey shows bathroom anxiety affects a lot of
Speaker 1: people in the US. The survey by Talker Research shows
Speaker 1: ninety two percent of people admit having pnxiety, meaning they
Speaker 1: deliberately put off going into the bathroom so they won't
Speaker 1: miss out on what they see as an exciting or
Speaker 1: important moment. On the flip side, it shows thirty five
Speaker 1: percent of people have missed things like a baby's first steps,
Speaker 1: photo ops or concert finales because of unavoidable bathroom urgency.
Speaker 1: I know I shouldn't laugh about it, but what the heck? Oh?
Speaker 1: And I got a note from from editor Carlo. She says,
Speaker 1: think of going to the chapel. I'm going to get married,
Speaker 1: so that's how I'll remember chapel. Rowing entry restrictions into
Speaker 1: Pacific Palisades were briefly lifted, but then quickly reinstated. Officials
Speaker 1: say residents were worried that their homes or what's left
Speaker 1: of them, would be looted. Among other things, many of
Speaker 1: the homes still standing can't be lived in because of
Speaker 1: smoke and other fire damage. The CHP and National Guard
Speaker 1: will be manning checkpoints to make sure only residents are
Speaker 1: allowed into the area. Protesters had blocked the one on
Speaker 1: one freeway through downtown LA. The group protesting Trump's deportation
Speaker 1: policies gathered on Alvara Street yesterday, marched to City Hall
Speaker 1: and then walked out onto the freeway, blocking traffic in
Speaker 1: both directions off and on for hours. Police in riot
Speaker 1: gear moved in shortly after six when the LAPD declared
Speaker 1: the demonstration unlawful. Both Canada and Mexico have responded to
Speaker 1: President Trump's announcement that twenty five percent tariffs would be imposed.
Speaker 1: Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country will implement
Speaker 1: twenty five percent tariffs against US goods. Mexica's Mexico's President,
Speaker 1: Claudia Shinbaum also our. Shinbaum also said she plans to
Speaker 1: implement tariffs on US goods. At six oh five, it's
Speaker 1: handled on the news. President Trump admits that Americans may
Speaker 1: feel some pain from the tariffs, which are scheduled to
Speaker 1: go into effect at midnight tonight. And let's continue talking
Speaker 1: about tariffs and say good morning to you. Kfi's White
Speaker 1: House correspondent John Decker, And so it begins, John. President
Speaker 1: Trump announced those tariffs against Canada and Mexico, and both
Speaker 1: of them have something to say.
Speaker 4: Back, Well, that's right, Retali. It's very tariffs, as you
Speaker 4: just mentioned, Amy, and we can also expect that coming
Speaker 4: from China as well, ten percent tariffs placed upon Chinese
Speaker 4: goods coming into the US. And President Trump has acknowledged,
Speaker 4: not on social media, but also upon landing in Washington yesterday,
Speaker 4: there will be short term pain that American consumers feel
Speaker 4: because of these carrits. Whether it is items that you're
Speaker 4: buying at the grocery store forty percent of our produce
Speaker 4: comes from Mexico or Canada, or whether it's gasoline a
Speaker 4: significant amount of crude oil comes from Canada, or even
Speaker 4: electronics coming from China. When you factor in so much
Speaker 4: in terms of the electronic industry has its origin in China,
Speaker 4: it will be impacted on the products that we buy
Speaker 4: every day.
Speaker 1: Well, and I think that one of the tough things
Speaker 1: about that is once prices go up, it's hard to
Speaker 1: get them back down again.
Speaker 4: Well, we've seen that, you know, we've seen inflation as
Speaker 4: high as nine percent under President Biden. It's about two
Speaker 4: point four percent right now, and there are many economists
Speaker 4: on Wall Street that predict that in the short term
Speaker 4: we're going to see inflation go up once again to
Speaker 4: about three percent in the short term. So prices going up,
Speaker 4: whether it's gasoline that you're filling up your car with
Speaker 4: or it's produce at the supermarket, You're going to notice
Speaker 4: some increases in prices for sure over the course of
Speaker 4: the next few weeks. Once those terraffs go into effect.
Speaker 4: And that will be tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Okay, and then John, you mentioned gas, and you mentioned produce,
Speaker 1: you mentioned electronics from China. But what are some of
Speaker 1: the other things that will be affected by these tariffs.
Speaker 4: Well, you have to figure that when you're talking about
Speaker 4: the price gas, everything is impacted by gas, you know,
Speaker 4: in terms of being transported by the trucking industry in particular,
Speaker 4: and so all of this will have an impact on
Speaker 4: just about anything you can possibly think of. The item itself,
Speaker 4: you know, may have its origins in Canada, but when
Speaker 4: you think about auto parts in particular or autos specifically,
Speaker 4: you're going to see prices increase. There. There's an estimate
Speaker 4: that I've seen that you could see the price of
Speaker 4: a new cargo up as much as three thousand dollars
Speaker 4: because of these tariffs. Obviously it depends upon which kind
Speaker 4: of car you're you're purchasing, but the President is also
Speaker 4: pledged to impose tariffs on the European Union, so we
Speaker 4: could see even more pain when you think about all
Speaker 4: the products that come from Europe. And then you know
Speaker 4: that Europe is already planning or I certainly do, because
Speaker 4: I've spoken to the EO ambassador to the United States.
Speaker 4: Europe is already preparing for retaliatory tariffs on American goods
Speaker 4: if indeed those tariffs are placed upon their goods coming
Speaker 4: into the United States.
Speaker 1: Okay, John, I have a question for you about tariffs.
Speaker 1: So we slap a twenty five percent tariff on We're
Speaker 1: just going to use Canada for right now, on gas
Speaker 1: coming in. So that twenty five percent tariff that goes
Speaker 1: to the US government. It's a fee that's charged as
Speaker 1: they come in.
Speaker 4: Well, the tariff is paid by the entity that is
Speaker 4: receiving the product. You mentioned gasoline. Let's mentioned an item.
Speaker 4: Let's well gasolene. Fine, yes, but the entity that is
Speaker 4: receiving that product would be paying that tariff indeed to
Speaker 4: the US government. That is true. But the entity that
Speaker 4: is receiving that product is not going to eat the cost.
Speaker 4: Amy They're going to pass that cost along to the
Speaker 4: US consumer. They're they're in it for profit, and that's
Speaker 4: the reason why those costs typically are then you know,
Speaker 4: added on to the product of as it relates to
Speaker 4: the final cost that Americans pay.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so then maybe I'm understanding tariff's incorrectly. So
Speaker 1: let's go to produce because that's that's a smaller one
Speaker 1: to take a bite out of. So if Ralphs and
Speaker 1: Safe way By produce from Canada, they have to pay
Speaker 1: twenty five percent, like a twenty five percent fee or
Speaker 1: twenty five percent more to get it from Canada.
Speaker 4: That is correct.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, So it doesn't go to the government, it's
Speaker 1: that they have to pay. I'm just so confused. Who
Speaker 1: does the money go to.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, the money, the money would the money that
Speaker 4: is derived from those tariffs, the money that is added
Speaker 4: onto the product that does go to the US government.
Speaker 4: And indeed that that's one of the reasons why President
Speaker 4: Trump has advocated a trade tariff's policy. He thinks it's
Speaker 4: putting more money into, you know, the coffers of our government.
Speaker 4: The problem is is that does it indeed bring down
Speaker 4: the trade and balance that exists? You know, certainly if
Speaker 4: you're talking about higher costs on products, it does have
Speaker 4: an impact on demand and maybe consumers may say, you
Speaker 4: know what, I'm not going to buy avocados for my
Speaker 4: Super Bowl party. They're too expensive. I'm not going to buy,
Speaker 4: you know, a new home. Because the cost of lumber
Speaker 4: coming from Canada has increased the cost of that home,
Speaker 4: and so it has an impact ultimately on our GDP
Speaker 4: when you're talking about the demand on products that Americans purchase,
Speaker 4: and that's not a good thing when we want a
Speaker 4: strong economy to increase the labor pool in America and
Speaker 4: all the things associated with it.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, we know that Trump is talking with both
Speaker 1: the Trudeau and the leader of Mexico today, so.
Speaker 4: Who knows, But you know what, it's not going to
Speaker 4: be a conversation which will lead to President Trump removing
Speaker 4: the tariffs which are due to go into effect tomorrow.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's just a call saying essentially,
Speaker 4: these tariffs will remain in place until we see a
Speaker 4: lowering of the trade deficit that exists between the US
Speaker 4: and Canada, the US and Mexico, or we see a
Speaker 4: decrease in the amount of fentanyl coming into the US.
Speaker 4: That's another reason that the President has said that he's
Speaker 4: imposing these tariffs on both countries.
Speaker 1: Okay, ABC not ABC's I don't know why I go
Speaker 1: to ABC. It's kfi's the White House correspondent, John Decker.
Speaker 1: I'm just used to saying, all right, John Decker, thank
Speaker 1: you so much for the information we'll talk to you
Speaker 1: again very soon. Thank you making sense out of all
Speaker 1: this so the government makes money and we pay more.

Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. The cost of hosting a Super Bowl
Speaker 1: party is expected to be about the same as it
Speaker 1: was last year, but economists with the Wells Fargo Agri
Speaker 1: Food Institute have found a difference in prices for some
Speaker 1: popular game day ingredients and prepared foods and broccoli are
Speaker 1: the best dipping choices since they cost less this year,
Speaker 1: economists say guacamole fans may want to make it themselves
Speaker 1: since avocados are more expensive. And speaking of money, let's
Speaker 1: say good morning now to Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho, heard on
Speaker 1: radio stations all across the country and starting today, heard
Speaker 1: right here on wake Up Call every morning. So good morning, Courtney.
Speaker 3: Good morning. I love the music that you were playing before.
Speaker 3: To introduce the money segment, A little fitty to keep
Speaker 3: us going when it's like an ugly hair on.
Speaker 1: Wall Street, exactly, we thank Kono for that. Our he
Speaker 1: is our music man, extraordinary. Do you know what I
Speaker 1: was thinking when it comes to music. I was thinking
Speaker 1: this song instead. This describes Wall Street today. Just another man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's thinking like a rough day. Okay, so talk to
Speaker 1: us about Is it because of the tariffs?
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt about it. President Trump is barreling toward
Speaker 3: this tarff showdown with Canada, Mexico, China. The move couboost inflation,
Speaker 3: it could hurt economic growth. It's scaring all the nervous.
Speaker 3: Nelly's on Wall Street down. Futures right now are down
Speaker 3: six hundred and fifteen points, S and P futures stumbling
Speaker 3: one point six percent. Want to point out that trading
Speaker 3: volumes also above average. This morning, Wall Street's kind of
Speaker 3: waking up and saying, oh gosh, all of this is real.
Speaker 3: We're seeing the pressure with President Trump playing down the
Speaker 3: prospect of any about turn in this decision, saying that
Speaker 3: he doesn't expect anything traumatic to happen from his conversations
Speaker 3: with leaders of Canada and Mexico. He's talking to them
Speaker 3: later today.
Speaker 1: Okay, So, Cordy, you said that the trading volume is
Speaker 1: gonna is above average? What does that mean? I mean,
Speaker 1: I notice that more trading.
Speaker 3: Is but why yes, Because usually when there's a situation
Speaker 3: kind of like this, people will start hopping back into
Speaker 3: the markets and saying, Okay, well, I got to look
Speaker 3: at my portfolio a little bit more and I got
Speaker 3: to make some adjustments. And that's one of the reasons
Speaker 3: why we're seeing training volume. People when they woke up
Speaker 3: this morning, when they said, oh gosh, this is real,
Speaker 3: then they're like, oh, I need to start trading and
Speaker 3: getting ready for the trading day. And that's why we're
Speaker 3: seeing the pressure this morning on the markets. Okay, another thing.
Speaker 1: Oh, go ahead, I was going to say, speaking of traders,
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you what's ahead for traders
Speaker 1: this week because we know that there's the tariff talk,
Speaker 1: but there's other stuff coming up as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and one of the things is earnings. Now a
Speaker 3: number of major companies are reporting their earnings results. And
Speaker 3: why people are excited and looking to this they want
Speaker 3: to see what these companies are going to say about tariffs,
Speaker 3: what they're saying about the economy right about now. So
Speaker 3: some of the major companies, and we all know who
Speaker 3: they are, Amazon, Google, Parent, Alphabet, Ford, we definitely want
Speaker 3: to hear what those guys have to say about tariffs.
Speaker 3: Disney Pepsi Chipoli. Those are some of the numbers that
Speaker 3: everybody's looking for, and we want to hear what the
Speaker 3: executives are going to talk about in their conference call
Speaker 3: after And we also have the jobs report coming up
Speaker 3: on Friday. Wall Street goes crazy about that on Friday.
Speaker 3: That's a big report that a lot of people look
Speaker 3: for here on Wall Street.
Speaker 1: Okay, so Courtney, we're going to be talking to you
Speaker 1: every day, which we're very excited about because I think
Speaker 1: it's going to be, you know, just a new little
Speaker 1: fun awareness of what's going on and keep wake up
Speaker 1: call listeners, you know, attuned to what's going on. But
Speaker 1: I'm I'm interested in a little bit in you because
Speaker 1: I love that you're so excited about money.
Speaker 3: Yes, why are you?
Speaker 1: What got you in? Why got you into money and
Speaker 1: made you so interested in it?
Speaker 3: Well, you know, it is actually interesting. I grew up
Speaker 3: in Brooklyn. I always had a bit of a tough
Speaker 3: childhood growing up. So that's one of the reasons why
Speaker 3: I said, you know what, I got to figure out
Speaker 3: how to make sure my money works for me. And
Speaker 3: the important thing is I have two kids, I live
Speaker 3: in I live just outside of New York, city, and
Speaker 3: I have two small kids and it's important they have
Speaker 3: college coming up, so to figure out how to be
Speaker 3: able to pay for that. I know there's a lot
Speaker 3: of people out there probably feeling the same thing as
Speaker 3: I do, so it was it's important to look at money,
Speaker 3: you know, and a lot of people gloss over the
Speaker 3: money reports are they say, you know what, my spouse
Speaker 3: is going to take care of that. You know what,
Speaker 3: you need to be in control. Everybody needs to be
Speaker 3: in control of their finances and where the money works
Speaker 3: for them. And it's also important to be able to
Speaker 3: talk to your financial advisor too, make sure that your
Speaker 3: goals are all set for the future. So, yeah, it's
Speaker 3: a fun thing, Courtney.
Speaker 1: See I would do that too, like let your spouse
Speaker 1: handle it, except I don't have one, so I'm kind
Speaker 1: of screwed.
Speaker 3: Same here, Okay, so don't worry.
Speaker 1: So I think that that is going to be sort
Speaker 1: of our goal for Courtney is to be practical and
Speaker 1: fun and make this segment useful for you to use
Speaker 1: in your everyday life. And we're going to bring it
Speaker 1: to you every morning on wake up call right about
Speaker 1: this time, starting today. Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe. Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for your time. Can't wait to talk to you
Speaker 1: again tomorrow. Thank you tomorrow. All right, take care. I
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a fun segment, and then
Speaker 1: maybe I'll learn how to watch what my money is doing.
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting about the trading volume that everybody went,
Speaker 1: uh oh, stocks are going crazy. We need to go
Speaker 1: and check our portfolios and see what's going on. People
Speaker 1: protesting President Trump's immigration policies took over the one to
Speaker 1: one freeway, blocking traffic off and on for a few
Speaker 1: hours yesterday afternoon. A few of the demonstrations demonstrators rather
Speaker 1: sprayed graffiti on freeway walls and vandalized at least one
Speaker 1: car that was stuck in the traffic jam. As of
Speaker 1: about four pm, the LAPD said no arrests had been made.
Speaker 1: Crews are working to prepare burn areas for the rain
Speaker 1: that's expected to roll into the south Land starting tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Public work crews are cleaning drainage areas and debris basins
Speaker 1: in Pacific Palisades and Altadna, and putting in k rails
Speaker 1: and sandbags in areas that could see mud and debris
Speaker 1: flows caused by the rain. Theaters have gone to the dogs.
Speaker 1: Universal's dog Man, About a half dog, half man police officer,
Speaker 1: took in thirty six million dollars at the box office.
Speaker 1: Sci fi thriller, uh, A sci fi thriller? Oh, what's
Speaker 1: the name of it? Companion finished second with just under
Speaker 1: ten million dollars in ticket sales. I'm caught up a
Speaker 1: little bit off guard by Universal's dog Man about a
Speaker 1: half dog, half man police officer. First of all, I
Speaker 1: hadn't heard of that, had you. I hadn't seen any
Speaker 1: trailers for it. Nothing, And it still brought in thirty
Speaker 1: six million dollars, which isn't spectacular, but it's not bad. Cono,
Speaker 1: did you go see it?
Speaker 3: I've never heard of it me either.
Speaker 1: It's very intriguing what it sounds like. I got to
Speaker 1: google it now, dog Man. Okay, I'll do I'll do
Speaker 1: it in a minute. There it is. Oh, it's an
Speaker 1: animated show. Okay. I thought it was like a live
Speaker 1: action show. It's a cartoon. Okay, okay, I mean it
Speaker 1: makes more sense, I think. Yeah. Okay. We're just minutes
Speaker 1: away from handling the news this morning. President Trump admits
Speaker 1: that Americans may feel some pain from tariffs. Which are
Speaker 1: scheduled to go into effect at midnight tonight. Right now,
Speaker 1: let's say good morning to ABC's Stephen portnois so, Stephen,
Speaker 1: we've got some new details about the mid air crash
Speaker 1: of the American Airlines Commuter jet and the Army Blackhawk helicopter.
Speaker 11: Well, look, the flight data recorder was recovered from the airplane.
Speaker 11: Both both black boxes from the airplane and the black
Speaker 11: Hawk have been recovered, but they have to do some
Speaker 11: additional work to make the data readable from the Blackhawk.
Speaker 11: Suffice to say, the indication from the airplane is that
Speaker 11: it was flying at approximately three hundred and twenty five
Speaker 11: feet give or take twenty five feet up or down
Speaker 11: at the time of the collision, which would indicate that
Speaker 11: was the altitude of the helicopter. As well, it's contradicted
Speaker 11: by ground based radar, which indicated that the helicopter was
Speaker 11: at two hundred feet, which is where it should have been.
Speaker 11: But we are going to have to wait for more
Speaker 11: data points for the NTSB to come up with a
Speaker 11: firm conclusion. Obviously, you heard the presidency last week that
Speaker 11: the helicopter was flying too high. You heard the Defense
Speaker 11: Secretary say that it was his belief it was the same,
Speaker 11: and the altitude of the plane would indicate that. But
Speaker 11: they want to nail it down and the way to
Speaker 11: do that is to analyze the data firmly from the
Speaker 11: black Hawk hellectopicopter to get a sense of what it's
Speaker 11: altimeter was reading. Now as we speak, Amy, the salvage
Speaker 11: crews are with a crane trying to slowly gently remove
Speaker 11: the wreckage from the icy Potomac River, and that they're
Speaker 11: being especially careful because it is where human remains are.
Speaker 11: Right now, they have recovered fifty five of the bodies,
Speaker 11: and the suspicion is that the other remaining victims are
Speaker 11: still inside the airplane, and that is why they're going
Speaker 11: to do this over several days, very gently, very carefully.
Speaker 11: It is evidence and human.
Speaker 1: Remains, and it's just such a grim thing. Like you said,
Speaker 1: it's a delicate operation because there are people, or were
Speaker 1: people in there, and there's people who are grieving the
Speaker 1: loss of those people. But they still need to figure
Speaker 1: out what's going on or what happened.
Speaker 11: I mean, you know, there has to be an investigation
Speaker 11: in parts so that this sort of thing never happens again.
Speaker 11: I was speaking to an aviation analyst over the weekend
Speaker 11: because as we look at these data points and we
Speaker 11: understand what people are saying from you know, whether it's
Speaker 11: the air traffic controllers and the two warnings that they
Speaker 11: gave to the helicopter pilot, the elevation of the air
Speaker 11: the helicopter, and this idea that you have planes landing
Speaker 11: at runway three three less often than runway one, but
Speaker 11: you do have planes, particularly smaller regional jets, landing at
Speaker 11: runway three three at the same time as dozens of
Speaker 11: military and law enforcement helicopters are buzzing up and down
Speaker 11: the Potomac for various important missions. The thinking is that
Speaker 11: this sort of thing was inevitable, preventable, yes, but ultimately
Speaker 11: bound to happen because there's so much traffic in that area.
Speaker 11: So what the FA is already done as of last
Speaker 11: week late last week is imposed a flight restriction for
Speaker 11: helicopters to say no, no, no, no more are you
Speaker 11: flying over the Potomac. It's possible that this army helicopter
Speaker 11: had diverted from Route four, which is the north south route.
Speaker 11: There were some indications of that last week. The NTSB
Speaker 11: has not really talked about it very much. But then
Speaker 11: you have this idea that maybe that route shouldn't have
Speaker 11: been there in the first place, and that the FAA
Speaker 11: is catching on to that. I described last week the
Speaker 11: delicate dance and the sky that goes on above Washington
Speaker 11: with all these aircraft. Yeah, well now they seem to
Speaker 11: be changing the rules finally because what they found. It
Speaker 11: seems what they're finding is that this was inevitable.
Speaker 1: Okay, And Stephen, wasn't the American Eagle plane It had
Speaker 1: to switch or make a last minute adjustment as well,
Speaker 1: didn't it.
Speaker 11: There was an indication that the pilots in the instant
Speaker 11: before the crash knew something was wrong and may have
Speaker 11: pulled up. But we don't know enough about that.
Speaker 1: Okay, And we will find out ABC. Stephen Portnoy will
Speaker 1: be watching, and we thank you was always for the information.
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, you bet, all right. It's just so sad
Speaker 1: and tragic, but you know, and then I remember from
Speaker 1: a previous air from a previous collision that one of
Speaker 1: the things that they do once they get the airplane out,
Speaker 1: is they take the whole thing, all the fuselage, to
Speaker 1: an NTSB lab or something, and they reconstruct it and
Speaker 1: put it all back together, and again that's going to
Speaker 1: take a lot of time too, so I hope we
Speaker 1: get in answers, and I like that they are at
Speaker 1: least making some temporary changes to try to improve safety because,
Speaker 1: as Stephen said, inevitable, which is awful too. Let's get
Speaker 1: back to some of the stories coming out of the
Speaker 1: KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Dangerous weather is moving into
Speaker 1: states in the Northwest. Meteorologist Jeff Smith says residents are
Speaker 1: on alert for heavy rain and mountain snow caused by
Speaker 1: an infamous atmospheric river.
Speaker 4: That translates into very heavy snow over the higher elevations
Speaker 4: of the Sierra Nevada and the Cascades upwards of four
Speaker 4: or more feet.
Speaker 1: He says there's an avalanche warning near Lake Tahoe. President
Speaker 1: Trump says the US may experience some short term pain
Speaker 1: because of tariffs imposed on Canada, Mexico, and China, and
Speaker 1: that people understand that, but long.
Speaker 4: Term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually
Speaker 4: every country in the world. We have deficits with almost
Speaker 4: every country, not every country, but almost.
Speaker 1: The trade penalties that Trump signed on Saturday at his
Speaker 1: resort in Florida have caused a mix of panic, anger,
Speaker 1: and uncertainty. Canada has responded with a twenty five percent
Speaker 1: tariff on US goods, and Mexico is promising tariffs of
Speaker 1: its own. China says it's going to sue the US
Speaker 1: over the ten percent tariffs. President Trump says he's imposing
Speaker 1: China's Commerce ministry says the lawsuit would be filed at
Speaker 1: the World Trade Organization. The statement called the tariff a
Speaker 1: serious violation, and it says China will take measures to
Speaker 1: safeguard its own rights and interests. Panama's president says his
Speaker 1: country will end a key deal with China after meeting
Speaker 1: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, President Jose Raoul Malino said
Speaker 1: Panama will not give up control of the Panama Canal,
Speaker 1: as President Trump has talked about a lot recently, but
Speaker 1: he says they won't renew a deal with China and
Speaker 1: we'll try to work more closely with the US instead.
Speaker 1: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to become the
Speaker 1: first foreign leader to visit the White House when he
Speaker 1: meets with President Trump. ABC's Jordana Miller says Netanyah, who
Speaker 1: believes he and Trump can change things for the better
Speaker 1: in the Middle East.
Speaker 12: Natanyao expected to talk to the President about phase two
Speaker 12: of the Gaza ceasefire, Iron's nuclear program, and the possibility
Speaker 12: of normalizing ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's meeting comes as negotiations for the second phase of
Speaker 1: the ceasefire with Hamas are set to get under way.
Speaker 1: What do rodents know about predicting the weather? Kfi's Natalie
Speaker 1: Miglioriate says some famous ones on the East Coast have
Speaker 1: mixed prognostics.
Speaker 13: Staten Island Chuck didn't see his shadows Sunday morning, predicting
Speaker 13: warmer weather sooner rather than later. The same verdict came
Speaker 13: from Ladia Duena, the resident ground dog at Turtlebag Zoo
Speaker 13: in New Jersey. Meantime, Melville mell and Holdsville, hal Almong
Speaker 13: Island predicted six more weeks of winter that was in
Speaker 13: line with Pocksatoni Phil in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: Experts say Staten Island Chuck has been right eighty five
Speaker 1: percent of the time, but Punk Satani Phil is only
Speaker 1: right thirty five percent of the time. This is KFI
