Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty Wake Up Call
Speaker 1: with Me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: K f I and kost in HT two Los Angeles
Speaker 2: and Orange County at Wake Up your host, Amy Kay.
Speaker 1: It's five o'clock, straight up, good Monday morning to you.
Speaker 1: It's Saint Patrick's Day, March seventeenth, Faith in Bigorre. I'm
Speaker 1: Ammy King. Thanks for joining us to start your day.
Speaker 1: Might have heard that open opening day Baseball tomorrow Dodgers
Speaker 1: in Tokyo. Did you see that show? Hey O Tani
Speaker 1: hit a home run in the exhibition game over the weekend.
Speaker 1: The crowd, of course went wild. Are you wearing your
Speaker 1: green today? Don't forget if you're rummaging through your closet
Speaker 1: picking out your daily stuff. I see that. Will you're
Speaker 1: wearing white? Okay, well, you know you're gonna get pitched.
Speaker 1: I've got my one green shirt. It's a Perry a T.
Speaker 3: Shirt that wore my last week and now it's dirty.
Speaker 1: Oh okay. And then and then look I've got my
Speaker 1: uh my pot of gold tennis shoes. They're sparkly gold. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: hope you had a great weekend. My weekend continued my
Speaker 1: obsession with the Eaglitz and big Bear so cute. Hey,
Speaker 1: if you're watching, you might notice something's a little bit different.
Speaker 1: Their infrared camera is out and the mic is out,
Speaker 1: so they've actually got two cameras up there. One of
Speaker 1: them is from far away looking at the tree, and
Speaker 1: then one's in the nest, and so they've got the
Speaker 1: one that's far away in the tree showing it's infrared,
Speaker 1: so you at least get a shadow cast on it,
Speaker 1: so it looks like there's a spotlight beamed on them
Speaker 1: at night, but it's not. They can't see that, but
Speaker 1: it sure gives you appreciation for when mom and dad
Speaker 1: are feeding the kids in the middle of the night
Speaker 1: because it is pitch black without those infrared cameras. And
Speaker 1: of course the sad news that we did lose one
Speaker 1: of the eaglits. We knew that on Friday the eaglet
Speaker 1: was not anywhere in the nest, and when they're that young,
Speaker 1: if they're not there, there's you know they're not there.
Speaker 1: But they did confirm it over the weekend that one
Speaker 1: of them did not make it, which is very sad,
Speaker 1: but it is still part of nature and it's a
Speaker 1: beautiful thing, and I'm still super obsessed with it because
Speaker 1: we still have two and they're adorable. Here's what's ahead
Speaker 1: on wake up call. Some shaking in the Southland. Malibu's
Speaker 1: been rattled by a three point nine earthquake. The US
Speaker 1: Geological Survey says the quake kid at eight seventeen last night.
Speaker 1: It was felt in Calabasas, Thousand Oaks, Agora Hills in
Speaker 1: Moore Park. Several earthquakes have rumbold under Malibu in the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. President Trump's National Security advisor says
Speaker 1: Iran is on notice. The US carried out airstrikes against
Speaker 1: Houthi rebels in Yemen over the weekend, targeting the leadership
Speaker 1: of the Iran backed group, in response to its attacks
Speaker 1: on global shipping in the Red Sea for the past year.
Speaker 1: ABC's Karen Travers is going to join us in just
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes to tell us when the National
Speaker 1: Security Advisor says those attacks will stop. The astronauts on
Speaker 1: the Crew ten mission to the International Space Station have
Speaker 1: docked the SpaceX capsule arrived Saturday night. Their spacecraft is
Speaker 1: going to provide a ride home for Sunny Williams and
Speaker 1: butch Wilmore. They were planning to be on the space
Speaker 1: station for a week when they went there in June.
Speaker 1: That has lasted nine months. They'll also be joined by
Speaker 1: Space Force Guardian Colonel Nick Haig and a Russian cosmonaut
Speaker 1: on the trip home. They're expected to head back to
Speaker 1: Earth Wednesday. ABC's Jim Ryan's going to tell us about
Speaker 1: the Tesla takedown. It's happening at Tesla dealerships around the US.
Speaker 1: So if you're planning to travel overseas this summer, things
Speaker 1: have changed. Kfi's Rory O'Neil is going to let us
Speaker 1: know how to plan for those changes. That's coming up.
Speaker 1: Before the top of the hour, let's get started with
Speaker 1: some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
Speaker 1: four hour news room. Five people have been hurt in
Speaker 1: a crash after a police chase in San Dimas. Two
Speaker 1: were said to have major or critical injuries. The other
Speaker 1: three have injuries described as minor or non life threatening.
Speaker 1: The crash happened about seven last night at San Dimas
Speaker 1: Canyon Road and Foothill Boulevard. Police had been chasing suspected
Speaker 1: burglars who broke into a home in Glendora the body
Speaker 1: of a man has washed ashore near Belmont Pierre and
Speaker 1: Long Beach. Police say the body was found shortly before
Speaker 1: noon yesterday near Ocean Boulevard in thirty sixth place. The
Speaker 1: man appeared to have been in his fifties, but police
Speaker 1: haven't said who it was or what led to his death.
Speaker 1: Eagle watchers in Big Bear have confirmed the death of
Speaker 1: one of Jackie in Shadows Eglitz.
Speaker 4: Frunds of Big Bear Valley confirmed the news over the weekend.
Speaker 5: We're not sure what happened with that Eglt, but it
Speaker 5: got into It was in the nest the whole time,
Speaker 5: out of our view because of the snow bank.
Speaker 4: Sadie Sear says it was heartbreaking when they realized what
Speaker 4: happened to the third Eglit, but she says the remaining
Speaker 4: Eglitz are doing well.
Speaker 5: They're thriving, sitting in the sun and because it's warm
Speaker 5: up here today.
Speaker 4: Jackie and Shadow have gained worldwide fame on their parenting journey.
Speaker 4: Millions of people have tuned into the Friends of Big
Speaker 4: Bear Valley live stream to watch. You can watch the
Speaker 4: live stream of jack and Shadow on our website KFIAM
Speaker 4: six forty dot com slash Big Bear how the Brooker
Speaker 4: KFI News.
Speaker 1: I am one of those millions. In fact, there's fifteen
Speaker 1: thousand of us watching right now. Like during the day
Speaker 1: on Friday, it was up over like eighty thousand. It's
Speaker 1: just crazy. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Karen Travers. Karen,
Speaker 1: the US attacked Hooti rebel targets over the weekend.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they did.
Speaker 7: This was the most significant military strike that President Trump
Speaker 7: has launched since he returned to the White House in January.
Speaker 7: He ordered these airstrikes on Hooty and Yemen over the
Speaker 7: weekend with the goal of trying to put a stop
Speaker 7: to their attacks on shipping and US forces in the
Speaker 7: Red Sea. A US official tells US that the air
Speaker 7: and naval strikes hit radars, air defenses, and missile and
Speaker 7: drone systems, and that the attacks could continue and maybe
Speaker 7: even intensifying scope and scale. The President had said, you know,
Speaker 7: he's not worried about retaliation by the Houthis, but officials
Speaker 7: had also told us that the response from the US
Speaker 7: continuing would depend on what the Houthis did in response.
Speaker 7: And they did retaliate. They fired several drones in at
Speaker 7: least one missile over the weekend, but the drones were
Speaker 7: shot down, the missile landed in the Red Sea and
Speaker 7: nothing came close to any US ships. But this again
Speaker 7: was a significant military strike by the President, and he
Speaker 7: was clearly sending a message at Iran, who backs and
Speaker 7: supports these Houthi militants. He said that they needed to
Speaker 7: stop that support immediately and said, do not threaten the
Speaker 7: American people their president. If you do, beware because America
Speaker 7: will go do fully accountable.
Speaker 1: Okay, So, Karen, why why now? Is there anything that
Speaker 1: triggered that the US felt, hey, we got to start
Speaker 1: hitting them now.
Speaker 7: You know, it wasn't necessarily one particular thing like last week.
Speaker 7: This has been an ongoing thing about the duties since
Speaker 7: the Hamas attacks on Israel in October twenty twenty three.
Speaker 7: Since then, they've launched more than one hundred attacks on
Speaker 7: vessels in the Red Sea, and it's really had a
Speaker 7: significant disruption on this critical shipping route. You know, ships
Speaker 7: have gone around it, they're not using that area. The
Speaker 7: Biden administration, of course, you and I had talked about
Speaker 7: this many times. They launched similar strikes on the hoofies,
Speaker 7: but that didn't stop their attacks on the ships in
Speaker 7: the Red Sea. They in fact even had hit similar
Speaker 7: military targets during the Biden administration, like the ones that
Speaker 7: were hit over the weekend, but didn't have a really
Speaker 7: big effect. But in terms of you know why now,
Speaker 7: what this message is the White House very much wants
Speaker 7: the Iranian to negotiate an end to their nuclear program.
Speaker 7: So that's kind of tied up in all of this
Speaker 7: here with the message of the administration was sending to
Speaker 7: Iran and that if they don't come to the negotiating table,
Speaker 7: that there could be military action similar to what we
Speaker 7: saw over the weekend.
Speaker 1: Okay, and then one last question. I think that the
Speaker 1: Houthis were saying, of course that you hit civilian targets.
Speaker 1: So I will Carrie one, do the Houtis employ the
Speaker 1: same tactics as humas, which is embedding their forces and
Speaker 1: their weapons within the civilian population or is that what
Speaker 1: they're just saying or do we know?
Speaker 7: Because you know, I don't know that. So the first
Speaker 7: I don't know. The White House says that the strike
Speaker 7: took out multiple HOOTHI leaders. The Houthi run the Health
Speaker 7: Ministry said at least fifty three people were killed civilians.
Speaker 7: We have a White House briefing today and I think
Speaker 7: that will be a big question that comes up to
Speaker 7: the White House Press Secretary. So we'll get it, hopefully
Speaker 7: get some answers in a couple of hours.
Speaker 1: And ABC's Karen Travers is on it. Thank you so much, Karrien.
Speaker 7: We'll be there all right, take care, Thank you.
Speaker 2: If you're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from
Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. So, Stephen,
Speaker 1: another judge has stopped or at least delayed President trump
Speaker 1: efforts to enforce immigration laws.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, look, let's zoom out and recast. What
Speaker 6: we're talking about is the possibility that the administration has
Speaker 6: violated the order of a federal judge because we had
Speaker 6: two planes that took off from Texas on Saturday afternoon
Speaker 6: while the court hearing was underway. Judge James Boseberg and
Speaker 6: Obama appointee turned to the administration lawyer and center right,
Speaker 6: I've been presented with this petition by advocates for these
Speaker 6: migrants who say that they're about to be deported from
Speaker 6: the country. Is that true? And the Justice Department lawyer said, well,
Speaker 6: I don't know, your honor. Let me see if I
Speaker 6: can find out. The hearing was put on pause while
Speaker 6: this was all happening. The planes took off from Texas,
Speaker 6: and when word reached the judge, the judge said, if
Speaker 6: there were any planes in the air that are affected
Speaker 6: by my decision here, I want them turned around. I
Speaker 6: want them returned to the United States. A deliberate decision
Speaker 6: was made at the White House. We're told to disregard
Speaker 6: the judge's order, that his directive should not be followed
Speaker 6: because the administration decided that the judge did not have
Speaker 6: jurisdiction because the planes had already left American airspace. The administration,
Speaker 6: according to the Press secretary at the White House, quote
Speaker 6: did not refuse to comply with the court order. And
Speaker 6: there's some parsing here. They're pointing to the written order
Speaker 6: versus the verbal directive. The White House says the order
Speaker 6: had no lawful basis because the migrants had already been
Speaker 6: removed from US territory. This is now increasingly being viewed
Speaker 6: by legal experts as something of an I mean, I
Speaker 6: want to be careful with the phrase constitutional crisis, but
Speaker 6: it certainly looks like the administration has decided to disregard
Speaker 6: the judge's order, and advocates for the migrants Overnight said
Speaker 6: in a filing, the administration may have blatantly violated the
Speaker 6: judge's order, and now it's going to be up to
Speaker 6: Judge James Boseberg to decide what should be done about this.
Speaker 6: If anything, he wanted to know more about what was
Speaker 6: happening and issued the order to pause any deportation so
Speaker 6: that he could assess. Now, look, some of the people,
Speaker 6: according to The Washington Post, who were on these planes,
Speaker 6: were not affected by the invocation of the Alien Enemies
Speaker 6: Act and were already being deported for other reasons, which
Speaker 6: ostensibly are legitimate. Maybe they'd already gone through the due
Speaker 6: process and been ordered deported by an immigration judge. That's
Speaker 6: not clear, and that's something the judge wanted to get
Speaker 6: to the bottom of. The administration is unapologetic, saying that
Speaker 6: a federal District court judge sitting in Washington should have
Speaker 6: no right to tell the administration how to conduct foreign policy.
Speaker 6: Immigrations are part of that, and they point to a
Speaker 6: nineteen forty eight Supreme Court opinion. It was five to
Speaker 6: four at the time that said that President Harry Truman
Speaker 6: had the power to deport a German to Germany for
Speaker 6: violating the Under the Enemy's Alien Enemies Act, even though
Speaker 6: World War Two at that point was over.
Speaker 1: You know what, when we talked to you, Stephen, it's
Speaker 1: always so much more intricate than it appears on the surface.
Speaker 1: But what on us?
Speaker 6: Isn't that the case with most of the news.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and that's why we have you here. So
Speaker 1: on what grounds does the judge make the decision? Because
Speaker 1: he didn't block the deportation order, he paused it right,
Speaker 1: or did he?
Speaker 6: The judge ordered the planes returned, The judge ordered the
Speaker 6: administration not to deport anyone who would fall under this class.
Speaker 6: The judge ordered it to stop.
Speaker 1: So it's not a temporary restraining order.
Speaker 6: It probably was a temporary restraining order. There wasn't a
Speaker 6: preliminary injunction, It wasn't an administrative stay. It was he
Speaker 6: just issued an order not to confuse it. The point
Speaker 6: is that the question is whether the administration felt it
Speaker 6: was required to follow this directive, and that is something
Speaker 6: that is very touchy. We don't have a lot of experience.
Speaker 6: As we explain the intricacies of the law of an
Speaker 6: administration thumbing its nose at a federal court.
Speaker 1: So that's the bigger issue in all of this is
Speaker 1: what do they do if it's found that Trump just
Speaker 1: violated the judge disorder?
Speaker 8: Right?
Speaker 6: I mean, look, this is a fight between branches, and
Speaker 6: sometimes these things aren't easily settled, and it's certainly not
Speaker 6: going to be up to a district court judge or
Speaker 6: a circuit court. How it ultimately is resolved. It will
Speaker 6: be up to the Supreme Court. But the idea here
Speaker 6: is that the administration is confident that it had the
Speaker 6: power to do what it's doing, that the president has
Speaker 6: extraordinary constitutional authority, legal authority under a statute that dates
Speaker 6: back to seventeen ninety eight, that it has been invoked.
Speaker 6: The questions whether it was properly invoked. Is this a
Speaker 6: time of war? Is the president that it is? Overnight,
Speaker 6: he flew back on Air Force One and told reporters
Speaker 6: because he was asked about it, he goes, well, this
Speaker 6: is a time of war because there's an invasion. Is
Speaker 6: there no way to question that? That's what's an issue now, all.
Speaker 1: Right, and we'll be watching ABC. Stephen Portnoy, Thanks so
Speaker 1: much for the info give back.
Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call on Demand from KFI
Speaker 2: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim,
Speaker 1: the protests against Elon Musk aren't letting up.
Speaker 8: No, they're not. And in fact, at least four more
Speaker 8: are planned for it today, including one blame in San Francisco. Yeah,
Speaker 8: four of them across the country today to California. One,
Speaker 8: there'll be one in Michigan, one in Nevada, when in Oregon.
Speaker 8: So you know these protests, there were something like ninety
Speaker 8: eight of them over the weekend. And they're protesting Amy
Speaker 8: at Tesla dealerships just because it's convenient, I think as
Speaker 8: much as anything else. They're not angry at Tesla so
Speaker 8: much as they are at the guy who's the CEO
Speaker 8: of Tesla. And they're not mad at him because he's
Speaker 8: at Tesla. They're mad at him because he's the head
Speaker 8: of the Department of Government Efficiency DOGE. So, yeah, it
Speaker 8: makes for an interesting mix of people both for and
Speaker 8: against the electric automobile. By extension, and the other thing.
Speaker 1: That you said that people aren't mad at Tesla, but
Speaker 1: some people are mad at Tesla they're selling their Tesla's,
Speaker 1: like Mark Kelly from Arizona said, I'm selling mine.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but it's not he's not mad at Tesla or
Speaker 8: at his Tesla. He's mad at Elon Musk, right, because
Speaker 8: of Musk's he's the figurehead of of DOGE and he's
Speaker 8: the guy issuing the ping slips the thousands and tens
Speaker 8: of thousands of federal employees. So, yeah, Kelly, Mark Kelly
Speaker 8: and others. I think that if this worthy they had
Speaker 8: a Ford, they'd be angry that they had a Ford
Speaker 8: as opposed to their forward automobile. Same thing with Tesla, really,
Speaker 8: so I think people bought their Tesla's. And it's interesting
Speaker 8: because many of the people who are at the protests
Speaker 8: now are probably quite liberal. They support the concept of
Speaker 8: the electric car as a way to improve the environment,
Speaker 8: but they're protests the car in order to get a
Speaker 8: punch in at the company's head.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you said there were almost one hundred protests
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Are they big small? I mean, is
Speaker 1: it twenty people that show up? Is it five thousand
Speaker 1: people who show up?
Speaker 8: I haven't seen anything with five thousand, but there have
Speaker 8: been some with a few dozen people there's something called
Speaker 8: the Action Network and it's kind of a left leaning
Speaker 8: organization that watches these protests and in a way I
Speaker 8: suppose organizes them. President Trump and others have said that
Speaker 8: the protesters are being paid to be there, that they're
Speaker 8: being provided transportation by bus to get to these demonstrations
Speaker 8: to try to make them look larger. But you know,
Speaker 8: all I see here on this website is Actionnetwork dot org.
Speaker 8: Is is a listing of the various events, and that's it.
Speaker 1: And they're being called they have a catchy little name.
Speaker 1: What are they called.
Speaker 8: Called Tesla takedown. The Tesla takedown is what it's called.
Speaker 1: Okay? And then are are they being peaceful and well
Speaker 1: behaved or are things getting out of control?
Speaker 8: Well there, I mean, there have been not necessarily associated
Speaker 8: with the protests. The protests have been generally peaceful and
Speaker 8: counter protesters out there as well, but there have been
Speaker 8: some active vandalism at some of the dealerships. And you know,
Speaker 8: you can blame the protesters or you can blame people
Speaker 8: who are acting on behalf of the protest. But the
Speaker 8: people who are interviewed, the people organizing these demonstrations, say
Speaker 8: that they have nothing to do with the violence. They
Speaker 8: don't support that or vandalism. They say, they're just there
Speaker 8: to peacefully make a point.
Speaker 1: Okay, good, well we hope that it will stay that
Speaker 1: way because I hate to see the violence.
Speaker 8: All right, Yeah? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: Ay Jim are you are you Jim O'Ryan?
Speaker 8: Well I was once. I think my great grandparents, I
Speaker 8: suppose worry.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, So did you know that the odds of
Speaker 1: finding a four leaf clover about one in five thousand?
Speaker 8: I did not know that.
Speaker 1: Well, there you go. That's your Saint Patrick's fun fact.
Speaker 8: What about the chance of finding a pot of gold somewhere.
Speaker 1: A little bit less?
Speaker 8: Yeah? Well, still looking all right, Jim Rian.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. As always, we'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 8: Thanks.
Speaker 1: All right, it is time to get in your business
Speaker 1: with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho. Good morning, Courtney, good morning.
Speaker 5: Happy Saint Patrick's.
Speaker 1: Day, faith in Bygora. Let's talk about Saint Patrick's Day
Speaker 1: and how much money we spend on it.
Speaker 5: Yes, And I have to say, as an Irish girl
Speaker 5: who loves college basketball, a native New Yorker, I don't
Speaker 5: know what's saying. I'm loving more this week Saint Patrick
Speaker 5: or Saint John. I am hoping for Saint John's jo
Speaker 5: patting the tournament, the basketball tournament anyway. The National Retail Federation,
Speaker 5: they say sixty one percent of folks plan to celebrate
Speaker 5: Saint Patrick's Day. On average, Americans are expected to spend
Speaker 5: forty four dollars this holiday. I guess they're not going
Speaker 5: to an la boar, but the total is seven billion dollars,
Speaker 5: so seventy nine percent plan to celebrate the day by
Speaker 5: wearing green, thirty percent for making a special dinner and.
Speaker 1: Corned beef and cabbage.
Speaker 5: Probably well for some people, I know, it's it's actually
Speaker 5: not their traditional meal. By the way. My parents are
Speaker 5: from Ireland, and it's that's more of an Americanized thing.
Speaker 5: Most of the people who are native Irish will usually
Speaker 5: end up having something called back bacon, which is kind
Speaker 5: of a combo between ham. It's like a super salty
Speaker 5: ham slash bacon sort of thing. That's like probably the
Speaker 5: best way to describe it. And when you put some
Speaker 5: chefs sauce on it, which is the this kind of
Speaker 5: like it's kind of like an a one sauce. In Ireland,
Speaker 5: it's always quite delicious. That's what we're having today in
Speaker 5: my house.
Speaker 1: It sounds like a little bit of bloating to me
Speaker 1: with all the salt.
Speaker 5: No I know, I know, but you know, I guess
Speaker 5: our ancestors tried to preserve everything back in the day.
Speaker 1: Well I had to then there was no refrigeration in
Speaker 1: sixteen hundred exactly.
Speaker 5: And by the way, speaking of food, there are some
Speaker 5: food deals out there. Krispy Kreme is giving you a
Speaker 5: free donut if you wear grain today, and at Crumble
Speaker 5: Cookies you can get six cookies for the price of
Speaker 5: four and they're calling it Luck Week.
Speaker 1: We nice, Okay, cool. We've been talking about Forever twenty
Speaker 1: one for a while and now it's official.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they fought for bankruptcy. The brand that once attracted
Speaker 5: a lot of young women into its stores with its
Speaker 5: cheap and trundy clothing is winding down into US operations.
Speaker 5: They're the latest retailer to stumble with shoppers. A lot
Speaker 5: of people are cutting their clothing budgets. They also took
Speaker 5: a hit because more people are ordering online. They're just
Speaker 5: not going to the mall anymore. But keep in mind,
Speaker 5: if you're outside of the US and you do sy
Speaker 5: Forever twenty one, they're not included all locations outside of
Speaker 5: the US. They're owned by another company, so they're not
Speaker 5: included in this chapter eleven filing.
Speaker 1: Okay, so is forever twenty one. I forget. Are they
Speaker 1: closing their stores or are they going into bankruptcy and
Speaker 1: come out? Okay, they're closing.
Speaker 5: They are closing in the United States. Ok So you'll
Speaker 5: see them abroad. But you right here, everybody's shutting down.
Speaker 1: Okay, and this is a money issue. More people are
Speaker 1: getting cats.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, the cat is out of the bag. I
Speaker 5: have to say. More people are bringing cats home. So
Speaker 5: Patko says cat ownership growth is on the rise, out
Speaker 5: pacing dogs. Now here's the reason. More people are returning
Speaker 5: to the office. Companies are returning to the office. So
Speaker 5: they tell the Wall Street Journal that cats are easier
Speaker 5: to care for if you aren't home every day. So
Speaker 5: as a result, since they're seeing this trend, the company's
Speaker 5: expanding its selection of lower priced and premium cat goods.
Speaker 5: They're trying to take advantage of it.
Speaker 6: All.
Speaker 1: Ah, okay, well, and you know they're not wrong. I
Speaker 1: used to have a dog. He was Samson, the protector,
Speaker 1: was the best dog giver, and he would cross his
Speaker 1: legs for like ten hours at a time because I'd
Speaker 1: leave him inside. I don't think most dogs can do that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, he's that's a miracle dog.
Speaker 1: I know he was. He was the best dog giver. Okay,
Speaker 1: so let's take a quick look at Wall Street before
Speaker 1: we let you go. What's going to happen.
Speaker 8: We had a good day Friday, We did.
Speaker 5: We It was definitely a rebound after a week of
Speaker 5: drama with the on again, off again tariff. The DALT
Speaker 5: finished the day at six hundred and seventy five points.
Speaker 5: We are coming back a bit. We were much lower
Speaker 5: earlier in the session. Right now, SMP futures are just
Speaker 5: slightly higher, a pinch higher, up a tenth of a percent. However,
Speaker 5: dal's futures still lower. It's down about fifty points right
Speaker 5: now and trading okay, and.
Speaker 1: We can just expect the roller coaster ride to continue
Speaker 1: for a while, right, Oh of course.
Speaker 5: I mean we had Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen coming in
Speaker 5: this weekend saying, don't worry about stocks, don't worry about
Speaker 5: the slump. But a lot of people feel that the
Speaker 5: Trump administration is unlikely to step in to boost the markets.
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you so much. Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe getting in
Speaker 1: your business every morning at five point forty right here
Speaker 1: on Wakeup Call.
Speaker 5: Thanks, enjoy the holidays.
Speaker 1: You're water you too.
Speaker 2: You're listening to wake Up Call on demand from KFI
Speaker 2: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: He had two things he was going to talk to
Speaker 1: us about. One was because apparently he's Irish, get it O'Neill.
Speaker 1: But I was really interested about the European travel plans.
Speaker 1: So we're going to see if we can hook back
Speaker 1: up with him on that. But since we can't right now,
Speaker 1: as we wait to see more fun facts for Saint
Speaker 1: Patrick's Day, And in case you missed it earlier, I'm
Speaker 1: wearing the only thing that I have that's green in
Speaker 1: my entire closet. And then I also have my blingy
Speaker 1: gold sparkly shoes because I got pot of gold on
Speaker 1: my feet.
Speaker 3: Right there, you go completely forgot. I just completely forgot.
Speaker 1: Sorry, well, gotta get pinched, gotta get pinched. Are you
Speaker 1: saying that he's there now? Oh you're saying turned will
Speaker 1: up a little bit microphone, would you?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 5: There?
Speaker 1: Okay? As we talked about corn, beef and cabbage is
Speaker 1: really popular for Saint Patrick's Day. Not my favorite, but
Speaker 1: it's more of an Irish American tradition than an Irish one.
Speaker 1: As Courtney Donaho with the Bloomberg was telling us, they
Speaker 1: like back bacon yew.
Speaker 3: Okay, it just sounds bad.
Speaker 1: Okay. The odds of finding a four leaf clover one
Speaker 1: in five thousand Saint Patrick's Days, you know, falls during Lent,
Speaker 1: right in the middle of Lent, and people a lot
Speaker 1: of people give up a little tipping of the glass
Speaker 1: during Lent, but a lot of Irish Catholics are granted
Speaker 1: an exemption to enjoy festive foods and drinks. Who gives
Speaker 1: them the exception is that from the Pope.
Speaker 3: The Pope do that? I think they did give themselves
Speaker 3: a little break there.
Speaker 1: All right. The New York Saint Patrick's Day parade bands
Speaker 1: floats and vehicles. Did you know that it's a walking parade?
Speaker 1: Only never thought of that strictly walking? Okay. The Empire
Speaker 1: State Building lights up green on March seventeenth. I love
Speaker 1: it when the Empire State Building does. I'm wondering if
Speaker 1: Lax does the pylons green.
Speaker 9: I bet and maybe even at our City Hall now
Speaker 9: has those led lights. So a lot of times they
Speaker 9: change colors.
Speaker 1: For that would be cool, and like the Santa Monica,
Speaker 1: the Ferris Wheel, firs will Yeah, okay, did you know
Speaker 1: that there's a National Leprechaun Museum in Dublin? Of course
Speaker 1: there is, of course there is. And as I told
Speaker 1: you earlier, there's no girl leprechauns, which makes me a
Speaker 1: little suspicious about the existence of leprechauns, because if there's
Speaker 1: no girls, how can there be boys? Just saying the
Speaker 1: term luck of the Irish actually originated in America.
Speaker 9: It's like Cinco de Mayo. It's like the same thing.
Speaker 9: It's an American holiday.
Speaker 1: Well, too bad, Okay, let's see where's the shortest parade. Oh,
Speaker 1: there's the shortest parade somewhere. It's like ninety eight feet.
Speaker 1: I lost that piece of paper.
Speaker 3: Uh oh wow, that's a parade.
Speaker 1: Yeah, where is it? I lost my Oh well, oh well,
Speaker 1: it's Saint Patrick's Day. What do we care? I also
Speaker 1: I brought Saint Patrick's Day cookies.
Speaker 3: In I can vouch they're good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's my So I do M and M cookies
Speaker 1: and it's like the only kind of cookie that I
Speaker 1: may and so I sit there because I only want
Speaker 1: one color, so I buy big bags of them and
Speaker 1: then sort them so I can get the right So what.
Speaker 3: Do you do with all the other colors?
Speaker 1: Uh? Well, I end up eating them, but a little
Speaker 1: at a time, right, a little at a time. Okay,
Speaker 1: do we have Rory now? Okay, then we do get
Speaker 1: to talk about travel plans for like two minutes because
Speaker 1: we're almost out of time. Do we have Rory? Good morning?
Speaker 10: Hey, good morning. Yes, you know, we have seen some
Speaker 10: of these travel rules change this year, especially if you
Speaker 10: want to go to the UK, you need a pre authorization.
Speaker 10: But we got word last week that all the European
Speaker 10: countries that are going to have similar authorization requirements they're
Speaker 10: not going to implement them until fall of next year.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so what do you mean you have to
Speaker 1: have a pre office like you have to call? Who
Speaker 1: do you call?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 10: So if you are trying to go to the UK,
Speaker 10: then you apply. You'll get this when you book your
Speaker 10: plane reservation. But then you have to file with them
Speaker 10: for an electronic travel authorization. Essentially it costs you ten
Speaker 10: pounds and lets you enter the country anytime over a
Speaker 10: two year period.
Speaker 1: I'd give up ten pounds for that. Oh, you're talking
Speaker 1: about money like the other ten pounds, okay, but it's
Speaker 1: only affecting UK, so anybody anywhere else you're pretty much
Speaker 1: okay to do.
Speaker 10: Right, for American citizens who are traveling to the United Kingdom,
Speaker 10: either for tourism, for business, even for studying, you're going
Speaker 10: to have to obtain that electronic travel authorization before your trip.
Speaker 10: They almost do it immediately. They just want you ten bucks.
Speaker 10: And by the way, they do that to us as well,
Speaker 10: so I'm sorry we do that to them. So if
Speaker 10: they want to come from the UK or Europe, they
Speaker 10: already have to give us a similar notification that we're
Speaker 10: on the way.
Speaker 1: I think a notification is fair. I think the charges
Speaker 1: are stupid, but that's just me. What are some other
Speaker 1: things to prepare for when you're traveling for unexpected development?
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, that's so the broader rules for these authorizations
Speaker 10: across the EU, they're not going to happen until the
Speaker 10: fall of twenty twenty six. That's the word we got
Speaker 10: from the EU Commission just the other day. Essentially, they're
Speaker 10: trying to also improve the passenger experience, so more and
Speaker 10: more airports in the US are working with more airports
Speaker 10: across Europe and the UK to make it faster, so
Speaker 10: you don't have to go through multiple security checkpoints if
Speaker 10: you have to go do a fly through to get
Speaker 10: from one country to another. Say you're going from la
Speaker 10: and you're trying to get to Paris, but you have
Speaker 10: a layover in Heathrow. You don't have to go through
Speaker 10: customs twice is the ultimate plan.
Speaker 1: That'd be nice. Okay, so those are changes I can
Speaker 1: buy into. Rory O'Neil, thank you so much for a lot.
