Speaker 1: You're listening to wake Up Call on demand from KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty KFI and KOST HD two, Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: Orange County. It's time for your morning wake up call.
Speaker 2: And good morning. This is your wake up Call for Thursday,
Speaker 2: December twenty six, twenty twenty four. I'm Michael Monks filling
Speaker 2: in for Amy King. Well you made it through Christmas.
Speaker 2: Today you might still be a little bit busy. You've
Speaker 2: got big families and maybe some people to catch up
Speaker 2: with today that you haven't gotten to yet. It's also
Speaker 2: a big shopping day and underappreciated shopping day if you're
Speaker 2: willing to brave the madness out there a lot of
Speaker 2: great deals as stores are trying to get rid of
Speaker 2: some stuff. Find some pretty good markdowns. I think a
Speaker 2: few years ago I got really lovely Hommy Hill figure
Speaker 2: sweater for like forty five cents. Get out there, have
Speaker 2: some fun, be careful as always, of course, happy continued holidays.
Speaker 2: As we march our way to a brand new year,
Speaker 2: and we've got a brand new edition of wake Up
Speaker 2: Call right ahead. We've got a leadership change that's taken
Speaker 2: place at La County. The Board of Supervisors has a
Speaker 2: new chair Supervisor Katherine Barker explains how she'll approach the
Speaker 2: role now that the gavel is in her hand and
Speaker 2: the county government prepares to expand. The Marilyn Monroe House
Speaker 2: in Brentwood, where the mid century Hollywood leading lady died,
Speaker 2: was saved from demolition this year. Other local landmarks haven't
Speaker 2: been so lucky. We'll review the year in historic preservation,
Speaker 2: what made it, what didn't. And if you love shopping
Speaker 2: at Costco, there is a book for you. A couple
Speaker 2: created it together after visiting hundreds of the chain's warehouses.
Speaker 2: We'll hear from them now. If you were listening yesterday morning,
Speaker 2: I made you this same promise, and then I made
Speaker 2: a technical error that prevented me from being able to
Speaker 2: play that recorded interview from Amy's archives, and today I
Speaker 2: want you to know I've got it fixed, Mark my word.
Speaker 2: We will hear this interview together this morning, and then
Speaker 2: coming up at the top of the six o'clock hour,
Speaker 2: we've got handle on the news. Bill Handel and Company
Speaker 2: are still out this week, so we've got our good
Speaker 2: friend Wayne Resnik filling in and we'll look forward to
Speaker 2: running through some of the biggest headlines in the country
Speaker 2: and around the world. With Wayne coming up at six
Speaker 2: h five, we do want to start with some of
Speaker 2: the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 2: The US Coast Guard has suspended the search today for
Speaker 2: two men who went missing early Tuesday while fishing in
Speaker 2: heavy waves off the palas Vera Day's coast. The wreckage
Speaker 2: of a boat that is believed to be theirs was
Speaker 2: found later on Tuesday, but there was no sign of
Speaker 2: the men. News is brought to you by Ruterhroo dot com.
Speaker 2: The Republican Party is prepared to take over the US Senate,
Speaker 2: which should be good news for President elect Trump and
Speaker 2: his nominees for cabinet positions, but the AP reports this
Speaker 2: morning the path for some of those nominees still isn't clear.
Speaker 2: Scrutiny is being focused on Health and Human Services Secretary
Speaker 2: nominee Robert F. Kennedy Junior and his views on vaccines,
Speaker 2: their accusations of sexual misconduct against Defense Secretary nominee Pete
Speaker 2: Hegseith and National Intelligence Director Taulcy Gabbard. The nominee there
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen meetings she had with then President Basharshad of
Speaker 2: Siria's also raised some questions. Some GOP senators have indicated
Speaker 2: they are all in for all of Trump's picks, but
Speaker 2: others have withheld their support for now and the Mega
Speaker 2: Millions drawing set for Friday is over a billion dollars,
Speaker 2: and a couple other jackpots have also grown. Nobody won
Speaker 2: the Powerball on Christmas, so that next drawing is worth
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty five million dollars. California Superlatto also
Speaker 2: passed by without a winner, most recently so that one
Speaker 2: is up to eleven million bucks. Nothing to say, sneeze that.
Speaker 2: I only bring this up to remind you if your
Speaker 2: goal in twenty twenty four was to become a millionaire,
Speaker 2: You've got a few days and a few chances left,
Speaker 2: so dream on. Earlier this month, LA County Supervisor Catherine
Speaker 2: Barker took over as chair of the Board of Supervisors.
Speaker 2: I spoke with her shortly after about her plans now
Speaker 2: that she holds the gavel at meetings. Supervisor Katherine Barker,
Speaker 2: now Madam Chair of the La County Board of Supervisors,
Speaker 2: thank you for being with us.
Speaker 3: It's my pleasure.
Speaker 2: I saw in your opening remarks as chair of the board.
Speaker 2: You identified your top priorities among your top priorities anyway,
Speaker 2: as unity and safety. So do you believe the board
Speaker 2: suffered any lasting harm due to any division that came
Speaker 2: up over Measure G and the expansion of the Board
Speaker 2: of Supervisors? Wish you opposed.
Speaker 3: Well, I opposed it because I truly do believe, especially
Speaker 3: given the fact that I have been with this county
Speaker 3: for over thirty five years. The board expansion issue was
Speaker 3: not where I had the heartburn. It was the elected CEO.
Speaker 3: But for me, it was more about the way this
Speaker 3: whole thing was rolled out that that upset me. It
Speaker 3: was done in a way that I feel is very,
Speaker 3: very secretive and not transparent. And so I've moved on.
Speaker 3: You know, the voters have spoken. Mitchell brought in emotion,
Speaker 3: as did Suppers or horror BAP to implement this this
Speaker 3: this group that they're putting together, and they came together
Speaker 3: and came to an agreement on what that would look like.
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna you know, I am really about doing
Speaker 3: the will of the voters, and obviously the voter spoke.
Speaker 3: I feel it's a mistake, but at the end of
Speaker 3: the day, I still have an obligation to make sure
Speaker 3: whatever does come forward isn't the best interest of the
Speaker 3: County of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: So no hard feelings there.
Speaker 3: No, I mean I've moved on. If I if I
Speaker 3: harbored hard feelings, I'd get nothing done, you know, I
Speaker 3: mean politics is not for fan of heart.
Speaker 2: You did also break with the board in a vote
Speaker 2: this week over an endorsement of what was called quote
Speaker 2: California Values. This was basically an endorsement of Governor Knewso's
Speaker 2: special legislative session, preemptively beefing up the state's legal arsenal
Speaker 2: ahead of the new Trump administration. What made you oppose that?
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I want to be clear, Adopting a
Speaker 3: confrontational approach with the incoming Trump administration is not the
Speaker 3: best approach. We don't know what the agenda is for
Speaker 3: the incoming president, and so to automatically assume the worst.
Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, ask for money on the
Speaker 3: other side, you know, on transportation, we're asking for over
Speaker 3: three billion dollars to help us move forward transportation infrastructure
Speaker 3: for in preparation for the Olympics. I feel that we
Speaker 3: need to be communicating with this administration about concerns that
Speaker 3: we may have and where we're going to disagree. At
Speaker 3: the end of the day, you know, the federal government
Speaker 3: is going to do with the federal government is going
Speaker 3: to do. And I pointed out that right now we
Speaker 3: have an immigration crisis taking place in this county. We
Speaker 3: have individuals that are living in tents on skid row
Speaker 3: that came over the border in San Diego that are
Speaker 3: women and children. I've walked skid row and talked to
Speaker 3: these people, and so I mean, we've already got a
Speaker 3: crisis going on as it relates to immigration. So to
Speaker 3: take a stance that we're going to Trump proof the
Speaker 3: state based on concerns about immigration, you know, I would
Speaker 3: be asking the Trump administration to help us address the
Speaker 3: crisis that's currently taking place not only in La County,
Speaker 3: but probably in the state of California, but across the nation.
Speaker 2: Do you get any indication from the incoming administration that
Speaker 2: there's interest in helping cities like La face those pressing crises.
Speaker 3: I'll be honest, I'm going to reach out and I'm
Speaker 3: going to try to set up meetings to discuss my
Speaker 3: concerns and how I believe we need to move forward.
Speaker 3: But at this point. I think that that the governor,
Speaker 3: and believe it or not, I mean the governor softened
Speaker 3: his tone as it relates to what his original plan
Speaker 3: was in terms of California values and the legislature. But
Speaker 3: I think it would be wise to open dialogue and
Speaker 3: recognize that there's got to be common grounds somewhere. I
Speaker 3: talk to people who are very much sympathetic to individuals
Speaker 3: that came to this country for a better life. But
Speaker 3: at the same time, if there are crimes that are
Speaker 3: being committed that are currently on the books. By the way,
Speaker 3: and if you look at the City of La sanctuary
Speaker 3: city language, they do carve out individuals that commit felonies
Speaker 3: as as not being protected under the sanctuary you know,
Speaker 3: the city. I think it's important for us not to
Speaker 3: use ille ra is a pond, but in fact work
Speaker 3: together to address this.
Speaker 2: And let's talk more do We're talking with Supervisor Catherine Barger,
Speaker 2: the new chair of the La County Board of Supervisors.
Speaker 2: You just referenced crime in the county, and you did
Speaker 2: break down the safety component of your priorities to reflect
Speaker 2: both public safety in general, it seems, but also the
Speaker 2: social safety net provided by the county. So regardless of
Speaker 2: what crime stats might say, and it seems that there's
Speaker 2: evidence to support lower or higher rates depending on who's
Speaker 2: making the argument. What can the county do to make
Speaker 2: people feel safer here?
Speaker 3: Put aside the political differences and work with now our
Speaker 3: new District Attorney, Nathan Hawkman, and work with our police
Speaker 3: chiefs across the county all eighty eight cities. Well, actually
Speaker 3: we've got the captains and the sheriff, Robert Luna, but
Speaker 3: have meaningful dialogue regarding what we as decision makers policymakers
Speaker 3: need to do to support law enforcement in protecting communities.
Speaker 3: And that includes the district attorney and by the way,
Speaker 3: includes the public defender and the alternate public defender as well,
Speaker 3: because at the end of the day, their clients are
Speaker 3: going to need services if we want to make sure
Speaker 3: they don't end up back in our system. So we
Speaker 3: need to collaborate more and communicate more. Something that's missing.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's become so politically polarized. If you are
Speaker 3: not with me, you're against me. Therefore we're not going
Speaker 3: to work together and for me And understand, my father
Speaker 3: worked for the State of California under President Reagan. My
Speaker 3: dad's attitude was, if you're willing to work, I don't
Speaker 3: care what party you're with. Let's sit down and talk
Speaker 3: and figure out where we can meet in the middle,
Speaker 3: and never compromise your core beliefs. But at the end
Speaker 3: of the day, set aside your differences for the betterment.
Speaker 3: In this case of the County of Los Angeles, whether
Speaker 3: or the state of California.
Speaker 2: Some areas where we're definitely going to need collaboration between local, state,
Speaker 2: and federal government, folks. Is the fact that we've got
Speaker 2: some pretty major events coming up here in the coming
Speaker 2: years in LA County, particularly the Olympics in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2: I look around and I see, of course we're not
Speaker 2: ready yet. You got four years, still less than four
Speaker 2: years at this point. But I'm not so sure we're
Speaker 2: even on the right path yet to be ready. What
Speaker 2: do you think with the aesthetics, the infrastructure, the crime,
Speaker 2: the homelessness, that will La County move quickly to be prepared.
Speaker 3: I'm confident that with the leadership of Mehribaths, we will.
Speaker 3: It is going to be a sprint, for sure. But
Speaker 3: I've talked to Mehribaths. I know the County of Los
Speaker 3: Angeles is engaged with the Olympic Committee, and we are
Speaker 3: going to do everything we can to make sure that
Speaker 3: this county and this city shines for the entire world
Speaker 3: to see. And I know it's going to be a
Speaker 3: heavy lift, but when it comes to transflasion infrastructure, we
Speaker 3: are definitely behind the eight ball. But we are moving
Speaker 3: forward and we're going to make it happen. I know,
Speaker 3: having been born and raised here, want to make sure
Speaker 3: that we spotlight what an incredible what an incredible county
Speaker 3: this is.
Speaker 2: That was Supervisor excuse me, that was Supervisor Catherine Barger
Speaker 2: talking to me earlier. That interview originally aired on a
Speaker 2: Saturday evening here at KFI. I'm hosting from seven to
Speaker 2: nine on Saturday nights, where we talked about local government
Speaker 2: and other trends in la I hope you can join
Speaker 2: us sometime for that as well. The search for two
Speaker 2: men who haven't returned from fishing has been suspended. The
Speaker 2: US Coast Guard had been involved in the search for
Speaker 2: the men who didn't return as scheduled on Tuesday from
Speaker 2: a trip off the coast of Palas Verdes. The wreckage
Speaker 2: of a boat believed to be the one they were
Speaker 2: in was found later that day, but there was no
Speaker 2: sign of the men. They left from Cabrillo Beach on
Speaker 2: Monday and we're expected back by midnight. That didn't happen.
Speaker 2: Lakers big man Anthony Davis has suffered a spring to
Speaker 2: ankle in last night's game against the Warriors. He didn't
Speaker 2: return after spraining his left ankle midway through the first quarter.
Speaker 2: Davis stepped awkwardly and rolled the ankle while moving through
Speaker 2: the paint toward the Lakers basket and exited with four
Speaker 2: forty eight left in the quarter. The Lakers did beat
Speaker 2: Golden State one fifteen to one thirteen. The norths From
Speaker 2: department store chain is set to be acquired by the
Speaker 2: Nordstrom family and a Mexican retail group and a six
Speaker 2: point twenty five billion dollar deal. The company has agreed
Speaker 2: to that deal and to be taken private. Coming up
Speaker 2: at the top of the hour, six oh five, it's
Speaker 2: Handle on the news without Bill Handle and company. They're
Speaker 2: still away, but we've got Wayne Resnick, who always does
Speaker 2: a very fine job. Hope you'll join us all for
Speaker 2: six ' oh five for Resnick on the news. Some
Speaker 2: landmarks in La faced possible demolition or some other irreversible
Speaker 2: change in the past year, but efforts by preservationists, often
Speaker 2: turning these places into official cultural historic landmarks, spared them.
Speaker 2: That includes Marilyn Monroe's house in Brentwood, where she died,
Speaker 2: and Norm's restaurant location on Los Sienaga, which almost became
Speaker 2: a fast food destination. I spoke recently with the leader
Speaker 2: of LA's top historic preservation organization about why these fights matter.
Speaker 2: Adrian Scott Fine is the president and CEO of the
Speaker 2: LA Conservancy. Adrian, thank you so much for being with us.
Speaker 4: Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if you had degrade the year twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: From the perspective of historic preservationists, how do we do
Speaker 2: in Greater LA saving old buildings?
Speaker 4: Well, I mean it's a mixed track record. I don't
Speaker 4: know what the grade necessarily would be, but you know,
Speaker 4: we save some and that's always our goal to save
Speaker 4: more than we lose. But yeah, I mean, as part
Speaker 4: of the process in LA, you're always balancing growth with
Speaker 4: development pressures and saving and reusing old places. But there's
Speaker 4: definitely you know, people care about historic places and when
Speaker 4: they're at risk, they often come out in force, and
Speaker 4: that's part of our job that the Conservancy is to
Speaker 4: mobilize people and to help people understand why a place
Speaker 4: is important, how it can be reused, and how to
Speaker 4: actually do something to affect change.
Speaker 2: As I just noted, there are folks who have preservation instincts.
Speaker 2: There are folks who have generic affection for a memory
Speaker 2: that they hold deer from experiences at a certain place.
Speaker 2: And then there are folks who say, let people develop.
Speaker 2: And we just saw that play out very recently on
Speaker 2: a building that you would list has saved for now,
Speaker 2: and that's the old Norms restaurant, which was apparently very
Speaker 2: close to becoming a raisin raising canes chicken fast food joint.
Speaker 2: What do you think inspired all of the commotion over
Speaker 2: that one?
Speaker 4: The Norms is an interesting case. We first got involved
Speaker 4: with Norms when it was threatened with demolition in twenty fourteen,
Speaker 4: and back then as well, people came out in rogues.
Speaker 4: I think in part for a couple of reasons. One,
Speaker 4: people love the architecture and the look at the place.
Speaker 4: It's Googy style, so it's wild looking architecture and it
Speaker 4: just stands out from everything else. The other reason, and
Speaker 4: maybe the one that resonates even more is that people
Speaker 4: have been coming to places like Norms and other kind
Speaker 4: of coffee shops and places like this. It's not just
Speaker 4: for years, but decades, and so they have a very
Speaker 4: strong connection to this place as being a part of
Speaker 4: their life or coming there, you know, at two am,
Speaker 4: after they've been out at restaurants and bars and things
Speaker 4: like that, and it's part of a cultural experience and
Speaker 4: they don't want to see it lost. And I think
Speaker 4: that's the issue that's very much at play right now
Speaker 4: in terms of the building is safe, it's protected, it's
Speaker 4: now designated as a historic Cultural Landmark monument in the city,
Speaker 4: but the business itself is not, or the use, and
Speaker 4: so what's being considered right now is whether it stays
Speaker 4: as Norms or it turns into something else like a Raisings.
Speaker 4: And that's where people just said, wait a second, we
Speaker 4: love Norms. It's not just the building, it's also the
Speaker 4: place and this business.
Speaker 2: But in a way, if a business, a modern business
Speaker 2: like Raising Canes replaces a historic business like Norms, obviously
Speaker 2: there's going to be some sad feelings in nostalgia around that.
Speaker 2: But if they keep the building, that's better than a
Speaker 2: Raising Canes dropping in on that site, putting in a
Speaker 2: drive through with curb cuts and setbacks and all of that.
Speaker 2: I mean, you find that folks like you have to
Speaker 2: make concessions like that from time to time, right.
Speaker 4: All the time. That's part of our job is balancing
Speaker 4: these competing interests. And yeah, it's better than losing the
Speaker 4: entire place. If we kept the building and guess it
Speaker 4: turns into a raising canes or some other business, it's
Speaker 4: not a complete loss. And it's about those kind of
Speaker 4: continuity of places they do take. They do take on
Speaker 4: new uses. Historic and older buildings are incredibly adaptable for
Speaker 4: new uses. But at the same time, things like legacy
Speaker 4: businesses in this case Norms, it's been operating since it's
Speaker 4: opened in nineteen fifty seven, twenty four hours a day,
Speaker 4: and so in that particular case, that business that legacy
Speaker 4: businesses also be loved as well as the building. But yeah,
Speaker 4: we're often looking about how to weigh these two things
Speaker 4: and how to make the best possible outcome as much
Speaker 4: as possible.
Speaker 2: We're talking with Adrian Scott Fine, the LA Conservancy President
Speaker 2: and CEO. We're taking a look back at the year
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four and wish Old LA Area buildings made
Speaker 2: it through wish Old LA Area buildings did not survive
Speaker 2: this year. I want to take you to Brentwood now
Speaker 2: and talk about the Maryland Monroe House. This was something
Speaker 2: that was a little polarizing as well, because of course,
Speaker 2: Marilyn Monroe is a Hollywood icon. There's great affection for
Speaker 2: her that lingers all these years after her death inside
Speaker 2: this house. But there was also the argument raised that yeah,
Speaker 2: she died there, but she lived there for like fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2: We've got all these tourists coming up, and the neighbors
Speaker 2: wanted to tear this house down and expand their own
Speaker 2: footprint on the property site, and they got stopped from
Speaker 2: doing that as of now. So take us to Brentwood
Speaker 2: and tell us why the Marylyn Monroe House was worth saving.
Speaker 4: So this is an interesting one as well. Marilyn Monroe
Speaker 4: House probably generated the most media coverage that we've seen
Speaker 4: on any issue, perhaps maybe in all of our history,
Speaker 4: in terms of a single year, in terms of not
Speaker 4: just you know Los Angeles or California, but across the
Speaker 4: US and internationally. This house resonated with people. Primarily what
Speaker 4: we were hearing from many people that saved the house.
Speaker 4: It's important in terms of telling the story of Marilyn Monroe.
Speaker 4: Certainly the owners of the house have a different opinion.
Speaker 4: They wanted to demolish it to build or expand their
Speaker 4: existing house. The issue here is this is the only
Speaker 4: house that really tells a particular slides are part of
Speaker 4: Marilyn Moreau's story. This is the only house that she
Speaker 4: bought on her own as a single person at the
Speaker 4: end of her life, when she was still very much
Speaker 4: active in doing her work. But she had very much
Speaker 4: a connection to this house. She talked about this house.
Speaker 4: She famously said that, you know, if you like my house,
Speaker 4: we'll get along to a fine or something to that effect.
Speaker 4: So she had a connection here. And you know, in
Speaker 4: the case of celebrities, it's always a little tricky about
Speaker 4: how do you identify which property is the property to
Speaker 4: you know, preserve or to protect to help tell their story.
Speaker 4: In this particular case, it's really clear that she had
Speaker 4: a connection here, even though she was only here for
Speaker 4: about six months.
Speaker 2: And we'll talk more with Adrian and our next segment
Speaker 2: about the Marilyn Monroe House and some of the landmarks
Speaker 2: that weren't so lucky around Greater LA. Also later on,
Speaker 2: we have a little more time at around five fifty
Speaker 2: love a married couple reveled the country to visit hundreds
Speaker 2: of costco locations. They've chronicled the adventure in a new book,
Speaker 2: and we're going to hear about that book from them
Speaker 2: coming up. I'm wondering if you're among these folks who
Speaker 2: have to return to work, as in returning to the
Speaker 2: office for the first time in a long time. The
Speaker 2: AP reports this morning, thousands of workers are facing what
Speaker 2: is called an unsettling reality heading into twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: After years of working from the comfort of home, they're
Speaker 2: being told it's time to return to the office full
Speaker 2: time for the first time since the pandemic. I can
Speaker 2: bring a host of challenges, the AP rights, including losing
Speaker 2: time with family. Workers at Amazon, At and T and
Speaker 2: other companies have been called back to the office five
Speaker 2: days a week. Experts have advice to share about how
Speaker 2: to navigate the changes when an employer calls you back
Speaker 2: to the office, and that includes workers needing to convey
Speaker 2: what they need to seek flexibility and then if all
Speaker 2: else fails, seek other employment options. How about that a
Speaker 2: seventy eight year old man with dementia has been returned
Speaker 2: home after briefly going missing in Malibu. The Los Angeles
Speaker 2: County Sheriff's Department, partnering with Malibu Search and Rescue, deployed
Speaker 2: a drone, which was able to find this man twenty
Speaker 2: minutes after it launched. The man had been missing for
Speaker 2: about three hours after he went to check the mail.
Speaker 2: He was found cold and shivering and still holding a
Speaker 2: TV remote. A woman has died and three others have
Speaker 2: been injured when a car flew from the off ramp
Speaker 2: to the two ten Freeway in Azusa and smashed into
Speaker 2: a parked car at a fast food restaurant. It happened
Speaker 2: just after five o'clock on Christmas morning. A seventeen year
Speaker 2: old boy driving a Ford Fusion lost control and plowed
Speaker 2: down an embankment, ending up in that parking lot. A
Speaker 2: fifty seven year old woman from Azusa died. A man
Speaker 2: accused of attempting to assassinate President elect Donald Trump in
Speaker 2: South Florida won't be tried until September next year. US
Speaker 2: District Judge Eileen Cannon said in an order this week
Speaker 2: that Ryan Routh's trial will begin September eighth instead of
Speaker 2: the previously scheduled February tenth. Ralth has pleaded not guilty.
Speaker 2: His attorneys had asked the judge to delay the trial
Speaker 2: until next December, saying they need more time to review
Speaker 2: the evidenced against him and decide whether to mount and
Speaker 2: insanity defense. Rauth's charge of attempted assassination of a major
Speaker 2: presidential candidate carries a potential life sentence in the event
Speaker 2: of a conviction. Coming up at the top of the
Speaker 2: hour six oh five, we've got Handle on the news.
Speaker 2: Bill Handle and team are still out this week, but
Speaker 2: we've got Wayne Resnick filling in, so we'll have some
Speaker 2: fun with him as we go through the big stories
Speaker 2: across the region and across the nation and around the globe.
Speaker 2: And at five point fifty, The Joy of Costco a
Speaker 2: treasure Hunt from A to Z. That's the new book
Speaker 2: from a married couple who visited hundreds of the popular
Speaker 2: chains warehouses. We will hear from them. In our last segment,
Speaker 2: we spoke with LA Conservancy President and CEO Adrian Scott
Speaker 2: Fine about the successful effort to save Marilyn Monroe's house
Speaker 2: in Brentwood. We continue that conversation now one of the
Speaker 2: pieces of the aftermath of this that I thought was
Speaker 2: interesting was there were a lot of people who said
Speaker 2: we should save this because of its connection to Maryland
Speaker 2: Marilyn Monroe. It means a lot to folks. And now
Speaker 2: it seems like there's going to be an effort to
Speaker 2: stop people from going up there in mass right. There's
Speaker 2: going to be limits on tour buses, limits on people
Speaker 2: kind of lurking outside of that area. So when we
Speaker 2: preserve a space like this because of people's affection for
Speaker 2: the person connected to it, what are we supposed to
Speaker 2: do when we turn around and say, but by the way,
Speaker 2: you're not going to be able to go take it in?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it will still be an opportunity for
Speaker 4: an individual to be able to go and see the house.
Speaker 4: The thing here is you can't really see the house
Speaker 4: even today. There's a large wall in front of it.
Speaker 4: But still people want to go kind of almost the pilgrimage,
Speaker 4: to have a sense of like where does she live.
Speaker 4: But the idea of tour buses disrupting a neighborhood, that's
Speaker 4: completely a different thing. And I get that in terms
Speaker 4: of kind of a nuisance to a neighborhood. So it's
Speaker 4: again about all about balancing those The street won't be
Speaker 4: blocked off, people can still go there as an individual,
Speaker 4: But it's really about, you know, in that is the
Speaker 4: issue about what does that mean, how does that change
Speaker 4: the entire feel and the kind of the nuisance factor
Speaker 4: in terms of the neighborhood.
Speaker 2: We're joined by Adrian Scott Fine of the LA Conservancy
Speaker 2: as the president and CEO.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 2: We're talking about buildings that survived the wrecking ball this
Speaker 2: year in La of a historic nature and those that
Speaker 2: did not. I want to go to Venice now, to
Speaker 2: a historic lifeguard station. And I covered this at city
Speaker 2: Hall and looked it up and read about the history
Speaker 2: of this old lifeguard station. And this you know again,
Speaker 2: I see the charm, I see the character and the
Speaker 2: nostalgia associated with this. But what is the purpose of
Speaker 2: saving an old lifeguard station that isn't in use anymore?
Speaker 4: It helps tell the story of just simple things like
Speaker 4: the lifeguard uard system that existed in Venice and certainly
Speaker 4: part of along the beach there in Los Angeles. It's
Speaker 4: kind of a quirky, unusual mid century modern building. The
Speaker 4: dates from the late sixties and until the early seventies,
Speaker 4: but it tells again a kind of a touch point
Speaker 4: in terms of what was happening in the whole operation
Speaker 4: of the county's lifeguard operations, and this building helps to
Speaker 4: illustrate that. And there's a group of residents in Venice
Speaker 4: that want to keep it and repurpose it, so it
Speaker 4: means something to the community in terms of what it
Speaker 4: represents and also the idea that it could be repurposed
Speaker 4: rather than demolished.
Speaker 2: There's another one that I think a lot of people
Speaker 2: have generic affection for, but isn't particularly unique, I might editorialize.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the Arby's fast food sign on the
Speaker 2: shuttered location on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. I mean, this
Speaker 2: looks like a sign like any other Arby's from the
Speaker 2: twentieth century that's got the old western style hat and
Speaker 2: the word Arby's on it. But this one is so
Speaker 2: important that it's making its way through the city process
Speaker 2: to be deemed a historic cultural landmark. What is so
Speaker 2: significant about the arby sign?
Speaker 4: If you know, this cowboy hat shape sign resonates with people,
Speaker 4: and I think the part of this is they're one
Speaker 4: for many of these signs. Now there are very few
Speaker 4: so in terms of telling the story of Arby's. And
Speaker 4: this is one of the first Arby's that you know,
Speaker 4: landed in Los Angeles and has been a touchstone in
Speaker 4: terms of Sunset Avenue in this portion of the city
Speaker 4: with its very distinctive you know, like I said, cowboy
Speaker 4: hats sign that has this neon on it that people,
Speaker 4: you know, think of it as a landmark. And we
Speaker 4: see this all the time with signage that people connect
Speaker 4: to these things that help tell the history of their
Speaker 4: experience in a community. And certainly the Arby's sign is
Speaker 4: part of that as well in terms of people loving
Speaker 4: it and don't wanting to see that, not wanting to
Speaker 4: see that go as well, even if there's no longer
Speaker 4: an army there.
Speaker 2: I know that the LA Conservancy has celebrated the saving
Speaker 2: of various properties across the Greater LA area, including the
Speaker 2: Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, the UCLA Faculty Club in Westwood,
Speaker 2: Paramount and Boyle Heights, and the Harbor House in San Pedro.
Speaker 2: But of course, at any given year you're also going
Speaker 2: to lose some properties. I'm wondering if there was one
Speaker 2: that struck you particularly difficult to take.
Speaker 4: Yeah, They're always hard when we lose a place, especially
Speaker 4: if it's not necessary and there are options that otherwise
Speaker 4: could have kept the building. The one that probably does
Speaker 4: it for me this year is the Benign Risk Lodge
Speaker 4: in Westlake. This is a nineteen twenty four building that
Speaker 4: was important initially for the Jewish community, later with significant
Speaker 4: for labor history. And it's also just an architecturally there
Speaker 4: was an architecturally stunning building in terms of on a
Speaker 4: corner site, very prominent building, three four story building that
Speaker 4: was demolished. It's just now finishing up the demolition right now,
Speaker 4: and it's being demolished for nothing. Catholic Charities entered into
Speaker 4: a deal with the City of Los Angeles that allowed
Speaker 4: them to demolish this, and we believe that you are
Speaker 4: very concerned it sets a precedent for other historic buildings
Speaker 4: in the future. And like I said, it's one of
Speaker 4: those things that just kind of sticks in the crawl
Speaker 4: in terms of the building that didn't need to be demolished.
Speaker 2: It is such a gorgeous building. There are some others
Speaker 2: that have bit the bullet this year, including the Sportsman's
Speaker 2: Launch in Studio City. This was also controversial. It's going
Speaker 2: to be redeveloped by This was a place that had
Speaker 2: kind of run out of life anyway, So will this
Speaker 2: be missed.
Speaker 4: I think it's absolutely going to be missed. I mean,
Speaker 4: for many the folks in Studio City, the Valley area,
Speaker 4: this is a legendary place that people have connections to.
Speaker 4: It's a place where you had your barmissa or weddings.
Speaker 4: All kinds of community events were connected to this place
Speaker 4: and it has resonated for the community in lots of
Speaker 4: different ways. And it's also been a preservation issue that
Speaker 4: has been ongoing for almost twenty years in terms of
Speaker 4: various considerations about whether it is or isn't historic and
Speaker 4: then also how it could be redeveloped. So yeah, I
Speaker 4: think it's definitely a loss for Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: And it was another place that I recall reporting was
Speaker 2: pretty well connected to old school Hollywood crowds. A lot
Speaker 2: of famous mid century actors also frequented that place. And
Speaker 2: so again we go back to people's affection for people
Speaker 2: and the spots that they're associated with. And do we
Speaker 2: lose some of the Hollywood history when we lose these spots,
Speaker 2: We absolutely do.
Speaker 4: I think you hit your hit the nail on the
Speaker 4: head in terms of the reason we say places is
Speaker 4: for people. We don't save buildings just for the sake
Speaker 4: of saving old buildings. It's about how do they connect
Speaker 4: to us as people? How do they tell our stories?
Speaker 4: How do they help us feel rooted in terms of
Speaker 4: a place. And when we lose a place like that,
Speaker 4: it's almost like a losing a little bit of ourselves
Speaker 4: because we have that connection and now it's gone. And
Speaker 4: this is something that holds so many different stories in
Speaker 4: terms of the community, whether it was Hollywood history or
Speaker 4: Jewish history or just valley history. Sportsman's Lodge was an epic,
Speaker 4: iconic place in Los Angeles, and that was.
Speaker 2: Our conversation with Adrian Scott Fine of the LA Conservancy.
Speaker 2: That interview originally aired on the Saturday evening program I'm hosting.
Speaker 2: I hope you can join us on Saturday nights from
Speaker 2: seven to nine as we talk about LA politics, government, culture, life,
Speaker 2: trending issues, and whatever else might be on your mind.
Speaker 2: It's five point forty two on your wake up call.
Speaker 2: I am Michael Monks filling in for Amy King this morning.
Speaker 2: What did you think of the football games on Netflix yesterday?
Speaker 2: Not without its hitches apparently just like during that Mike
Speaker 2: Tyson Jake Paul fight. Don't know if those streamers are
Speaker 2: ready for primetime. A lot of people tuned in for
Speaker 2: it and didn't quite get the showing that they wanted.
Speaker 2: The games weren't particularly close, but the big show, of course,
Speaker 2: was Beyonce. She wrote into her halftime appearance on a
Speaker 2: White Horse, thirty two time Grammy winner, rocking her hometown
Speaker 2: Houston crowd in a nearly thirteen minute halftime performance and
Speaker 2: surprise fans also by bringing out Shabouzi and posts Malone.
Speaker 2: It was a big show. I also note that NFL
Speaker 2: games are still easily out drawing college football. A pair
Speaker 2: of games from the NFL on Saturday drew a larger
Speaker 2: viewing audience than this new twelve team playoff. At the
Speaker 2: college level, the game between Southern Methodists and Penn State
Speaker 2: averaged six point four million viewers on TNT Networks, while
Speaker 2: the Texans Chiefs game on NBC averaged fifteen and a
Speaker 2: half million. And then later you have the big game
Speaker 2: against between Clemson and Texas eight point six million viewers
Speaker 2: on TNT fifteen point four million for the Steelers and
Speaker 2: the Ravens on Fox NFL, still reigning Supreme. At least
Speaker 2: eight LA County Sheriff's deputies have been relieved of duty
Speaker 2: amid an investigation into the alleged cover up of a
Speaker 2: transman's beating. The deputy who arrested that man earlier this
Speaker 2: year for flipping him off, pleaded guilty and admitted he
Speaker 2: lied to the FBI about the arrest. He also claimed
Speaker 2: numerous other deputies and sergeants helped obstruct the investigation and
Speaker 2: cover up the misconduct. The city of Santa Cruz has
Speaker 2: begun plans to clean up after the beach front was
Speaker 2: hammered by strong surf this week, an event that washed
Speaker 2: away a century old pier. The mayor says the city
Speaker 2: is going to focus on an immediate response. City official
Speaker 2: say engineering crews are working to assess the structural integrity
Speaker 2: of what remains of that local landmark. The Torrents Fire
Speaker 2: Department has announced the new digital alert system designed to
Speaker 2: warn drivers when emergency vehicles are nearby. The goal is
Speaker 2: to lower the risk of collisions involving fire trucks responding
Speaker 2: to emergency calls. The HAAS Alert Safety Cloud system delivers
Speaker 2: real time messages to drivers through their infotainment screens and
Speaker 2: through the waysapp and Apple Maps. It gives drivers a
Speaker 2: heads up of about thirty seconds coming up at the
Speaker 2: top of the hour six ' oh five ish its
Speaker 2: handle on the news bill Handle and company are still
Speaker 2: off this week, So Wayne Resnick will be and I'll
Speaker 2: be alongside them. Hope you will join us as well.
Speaker 2: So whether it's gnawing on one of the famously cheap
Speaker 2: hot dogs, sifting through tables full of slacks Banana Republic,
Speaker 2: or hauling a palette full of toilet paper away, there
Speaker 2: is much joy to be found at Costco. The big
Speaker 2: box chain has a loyal following. I don't need to
Speaker 2: tell you that, but there's perhaps none more loyal than
Speaker 2: David and Susan Schwartz, authors of the book The Joy
Speaker 2: of Costco, A Treasure Hunt From A to Z. Kfi's
Speaker 2: Amy King spoke with the Schwartzes earlier. Here's that conversation.
Speaker 5: Right now, though, let's say good morning to David and
Speaker 5: Susan Schwartz, the authors of the Amazon bestseller The Joy
Speaker 5: of Costco, A Treasure Hunt from A to Z. Good morning,
Speaker 5: David and Susan.
Speaker 1: Good morning.
Speaker 6: It's lovely to be here.
Speaker 5: Okay, so I have you know, some people visit all
Speaker 5: the national parks in the US. They put that on
Speaker 5: like their bucket lists or something. Some visit all the
Speaker 5: baseball stadiums. But David and Susan went a little different
Speaker 5: direction and visited all of the costcos in the US
Speaker 5: and in thirteen other countries as well.
Speaker 7: Well it's not quite oh, but we've got to be honest.
Speaker 7: We went to at least one in every one of
Speaker 7: the forty six states, and also each of the thirteen
Speaker 7: other countries. Okay, we lost count about two hundred and
Speaker 7: fifty warehouses.
Speaker 5: Okay, and why did you decide to go to all
Speaker 5: these costcos?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 6: You know, we we love costco. We love the quality,
Speaker 6: we love the low prices, we love the curated selection.
Speaker 6: You know, they're only thirty eight hundred items in a
Speaker 6: Costco versus let's say, forty thousand your local supermarketer are
Speaker 6: one hundred and forty thousand at a Walmart. But most importantly,
Speaker 6: we love the fact that you never know what you're
Speaker 6: going to find there. You know, it's always going to
Speaker 6: be a surprise, you know, treasure hunt. You know, it's
Speaker 6: just turned into the holiday season, and they're all sorts
Speaker 6: of incredible Christmas items and you know, stuff that you
Speaker 6: would never expect to find.
Speaker 5: And you know, you just you kind of hit the
Speaker 5: nail on the head too, because you said, there's like
Speaker 5: thirty eight hundred things as opposed to thousands and thousands.
Speaker 5: There's not so much choice, and I think that that
Speaker 5: makes it easier for people to purchase because you don't
Speaker 5: get stymied by overstimulation.
Speaker 7: That's totally right, man. Costco takes that problem away from you.
Speaker 7: At the home office in Seattle and also around the world.
Speaker 7: They select only thirty eight hundred items. To put that
Speaker 7: in perspective for you, a supermarket's got forty thousand, a
Speaker 7: Walmart has got one hundred and forty thousand. Amazon has
Speaker 7: literally called the Everything store. They have everything. But at Costco,
Speaker 7: it's only thirty eight hundred items. They're carefully vetted, and
Speaker 7: they're only marked up at most fourteen percent above costs.
Speaker 7: So it's really a lot of fun, a lot of variety,
Speaker 7: and great you can rely on the quality and the pricing.
Speaker 5: Okay, so you go to all these costcos, and you
Speaker 5: go into a Costco in California, and then you go
Speaker 5: to one in Oregon and then you go to one
Speaker 5: in Utah. I mean, do you have the same experience.
Speaker 5: Do you walk in and you just walk the halls?
Speaker 5: Do you purchase stuff at everyone or do you just go.
Speaker 2: Check them out?
Speaker 7: Okay, true confession. Since it's early in the morning, we
Speaker 7: take a lot of time. We walk the entire warhouse.
Speaker 7: And yes, we buy something everywhere. And it's a different
Speaker 7: around the world.
Speaker 5: Okay, And I bet Costco must love you if you're
Speaker 5: buying it at every store. So you've bend all these
Speaker 5: different stores in all these different states and countries. What's
Speaker 5: are your what's your favorite Costco? There's got to be one.
Speaker 6: Well, well, you know, it would be like revealing who
Speaker 6: your favorite child is. But I'll tell you a number
Speaker 6: that we really love. There's a there's a Costco in Mexico,
Speaker 6: right outside of Mexico City that has a rooftop that
Speaker 6: they put up there with a skateboard.
Speaker 5: Oh you're cutting out.
Speaker 6: It has a community center and it's just it's just wonderful.
Speaker 5: It's beautiful and it has it has a skateboard. We
Speaker 5: had we lost you for a second.
Speaker 6: It has a skateboard park on the roof along with
Speaker 6: a contemplative garden and a powerboard court and it's just
Speaker 6: a magnificent facility that's open to the community.
Speaker 5: Oh we need one of those in the US, all right.
Speaker 5: So you guys are Costco pros. What are some secrets
Speaker 5: to getting and watching for the best deals at your
Speaker 5: favorite warehouse?
Speaker 7: Well, first, a disclaimer, we do not work for Costco.
Speaker 7: We're totally independent, okay, and Costco did not fund this project.
Speaker 7: We did it ourselves. So I'll tell you one couple
Speaker 7: of things. One is early in early out. They are
Speaker 7: already full throttle in holiday season, so if you want
Speaker 7: to get in now and get it out, they'll be
Speaker 7: sold out quickly. Another thing is walk every aisle because
Speaker 7: you never know what you'll find. And then a really
Speaker 7: favorite tip is the death star at the death start
Speaker 7: asterisk at the top of the price tag, and it
Speaker 7: indicates the item will be discontinued, either temporarily or permanently
Speaker 7: very soon.
Speaker 5: So if you see that stock up, and does that
Speaker 5: also mean that it might be on sale, because there's
Speaker 5: a way to tell if stuff is actually marked down, right.
Speaker 7: Yeah, if it doesn't end in nine to nine, then
Speaker 7: it's a sale that's either from the retailer or from
Speaker 7: the warehouse. It's it's a pretty complicated algorithm. We cover
Speaker 7: it in the book.
Speaker 5: Okay, and your book is the joy of Costco, A
Speaker 5: treasure hunt from A to Z. I love this. Where
Speaker 5: can you get.
Speaker 7: It anywhere in the US and Canada. It's sold widely.
Speaker 7: Your favorite bookstore, the bookstores, little bookstores, and also Costco
Speaker 7: and also Costco.
Speaker 5: It is a Costco Okay, well, of course it is.
Speaker 5: I hope that they give you guys a lifetime membership
Speaker 5: or something. I think you deserve it. Thank you so much,
Speaker 5: David and Susan Schwartz, happy Costco ing. I know that
Speaker 5: are the host of Bill Handle or Handle in the
Speaker 5: morning here on KFI would probably love you guys, So
Speaker 5: he's a big Costco fano.
Speaker 7: Thank you. We just we just finished our road trip
Speaker 7: from Youonkers, New York to Yorba Linda, California, and we're
Speaker 7: heading to LA today. We're so excited to see the
Speaker 7: LA stores.
Speaker 4: They're really well.
Speaker 7: They have food courts outside.
Speaker 5: Yes they do. And check out the Burbank store. That's
Speaker 5: my personal favorite.
Speaker 7: Oh we love that you're there all right there.
Speaker 5: Thanks David and Susan take care.
Speaker 7: Oh thank you.
Speaker 5: Yes, you know what, what a fun job. We're going
Speaker 5: to go to every Costco in the United States and
Speaker 5: fourteen different countries, and then we're going to write a
Speaker 5: book about it. Too fun.
Speaker 2: And that was our Amy King speaking earlier this year
Speaker 2: with David and Susan Schwartz, the authors of the book
Speaker 2: The Joy of Costco Hope. They enjoyed their visit to
Speaker 2: the southern California Costco locations. This has been a pretty
Speaker 2: big year for investors. US stocks in twenty twenty four
Speaker 2: went higher and higher. They carried the S and P
Speaker 2: five hundred to records. The economy kept growing, and the
Speaker 2: Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates. The AP reports this
Speaker 2: morning the Benchmark Index posted its first back to back
Speaker 2: annual gains of more than twenty percent since nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 2: The year featured many familiar winners, the AP says, such
Speaker 2: as big Tech, which got even bigger has their stock
Speaker 2: prices kept growing, But it wasn't just Apple, n VideA
Speaker 2: and the like. Bitcoin and gold surged, and Roaring Kitty
Speaker 2: reappeared to briefly reignite the Memes stock craze. Meanwhile, the
Speaker 2: survey shows small business owners are feeling more optimistic about
Speaker 2: the economy following November's election. The National Federation of Independent
Speaker 2: Businesses small Business Optimism Index rose by eight points in
Speaker 2: November to one hundred and one point seven. That's its
Speaker 2: highest reading since June of twenty twenty one. The Uncertainty
Speaker 2: index declined twelve points in November to ninety eight, following
Speaker 2: October's pre election record high of one hundred and ten.
Speaker 2: NFIB Chief economists Bill Dunkelberg said small business owners became
Speaker 2: more certain about future business conditions following the presidential election,
Speaker 2: breaking a nearly three year streak of record high uncertainty.
Speaker 2: The survey also showed more owners are also hoping twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five will be a good time to grow. So
Speaker 2: a strong economy on paper, and now small business owners
Speaker 2: say they're finally starting to feel it. We got a
Speaker 2: few minutes left here in this hour of wake up call,
Speaker 2: so let's take a look at December twenty sixth in history.
Speaker 2: We've got five days left before twenty twenty four becomes history.
Speaker 2: So let's run through some historic moments and then some
Speaker 2: celebrity birthdays. In nineteen oh eight, on this date, Jack
Speaker 2: Johnson became the first black boxer to win the World
Speaker 2: Heavyweight Championship when he defeated Canadian Tommy Burns in Australia.
Speaker 2: Back in nineteen forty one during World War II. On
Speaker 2: this date, Winston Churchill became the first British Prime Minister
Speaker 2: to address a joint meeting of the US Congress. Today
Speaker 2: is Kwanza, and in nineteen sixty six, Kwanza was celebrated
Speaker 2: for the very first time. In nineteen ninety, Nancy Cruzan,
Speaker 2: a young woman in an irreversible vegetative state whose case
Speaker 2: led to a US Supreme Court decision on the right
Speaker 2: to die, died in a Missouri hospital. Big news in
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety one when the USSR was formally dissolved through
Speaker 2: a declaration by the Supreme Soviet And in two thousand
Speaker 2: and six, former President Gerald R. Ford died in Rancho Mirage, California,
Speaker 2: at the age of ninety three. We've got some big
Speaker 2: birthdays today, famous people. America's most wanted host. All these
Speaker 2: this whole lists, by the way, made me feel quite old,
Speaker 2: so buckle up. America's most wanted host, John Walsh is
