Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Still to come on the program. We'll head to Portland.
We'll find out what's going on with the troops on
the ground. Of course, LA Law is coming up this
hour and a major threat to a number of people
in northern California.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
You're not gonna believe what they have to keep their
eyes out for. Next.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
The rapture looks good compared to this that is all
coming up this hour. First, some people thought it was
the rapture when there was a tremendous amount of rain
that fell in parts of Los Angeles and San Bernardino
Counties yesterday. For those of you that had to deal
with it, boo. Not a lot of fun flash flood
(00:46):
mornings all over the place. Those have expired them.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
The fast moving storm system hit the San Bernardino Mountains,
triggering heavy rain and threats of flooding. A flood advisory
that had been in effect most of the day in
that area was canceled just owt yars Ago, but the
National Weather Service says that there is still a threat
of minor flooding in some low lying areas and poor
drainage spots, and they're urging motorists traveling on mountain roads,
(01:11):
especially at night, to be extra cautious when driving on
wet or muddy road.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Let's tell you what the worst part is when the
rains come down. And I don't know if you guys
experience this, if you dealt with any of the rain.
I maybe it's because I'm old, maybe it's because the
way things are painted now, But I have the worst
time seeing God, I'm sounding like Andy Rooney all of
a sudden, Oh don't you hate it when it rains,
(01:36):
and I just I can't see the lane markers. I mean,
depending on the angle, and if it's antt it's it's
very difficult for me, and I realize I just need
to stay off the road.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I'm not afraid of driving in the rain.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I don't have any problem with I know some people
get real white knuckled, right it starts raining, and they go,
oh my gosh, And then you see all the you know,
the traffic backups, and you know, lucy, and traffic has
to start telling you about where everybody's backed up here,
and there's a wreck here, and your delay is this long,
and YadA, YadA, YadA. I'm not worried about that, but
(02:10):
I do man. I had some trouble seeing some some
road markers. I think I saw the flash floods they
had in Arizona, but I guess they were losing cars.
Cars were getting washed away in some of their mountain towns.
No bueno, my friends. Meanwhile, portion Highway thirty eight between
(02:32):
Redlands and Big Bear still closed, gonna be closed for
a while because of the rain from earlier. And I
guess it was late last week right that was had
a tropical store Mario and burn scars and all of
a sudden, Highway thirty eight just got washed out. The
photos are incredible. I mean there's just nothing for the
(02:56):
road to go on. I mean the road is gone.
But it's not like the road broke up, but there's
a ditch. It's just there's just nothing there anymore. Repairing
this road, I think means installing a bridge where there
didn't used to be one.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I think that's how they're gonna have.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
To fix it, because it is just completely gone. Cal
Tretton says they have no idea how long it's gonna last.
So that's great, that's wonderful. My uh wife works with
a woman who refuses to come in when it's raining.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
She won't do it. My type of girl, is that right?
You don't do it either.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
I mean I have to do it. I don't have
the luxury of not doing it. But if I had
a choice, I would much rather be home when it rains.
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Because you don't want to drive or you just want
to stay home and enjoy the rain?
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Oh yeah, the rain is just stay in the house weather,
snuggle up, get yourself some good snacks, and some good movies,
got you?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. In this case, the woman, she
refused to get in the car, so she's scared. Yeah,
it is scary.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
I spent out one time in the rain, so it
is scary.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I think I can only remember one time that I
did too.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Now, I grew up in the Great White North, so
like snow scares me a little, it doesn't scare me.
But I have to adjust my driving habits. For sure,
I adjust them when it rains. But you know me,
I'm the annoying guy who's already driving the speed limit.
Yeah right, So all of a sudden, when it rains,
it's like, oh, everyone else wants to drive the speed
limit now, well, welcome to Mike Daily. But for me,
(04:21):
it's more like ice and snow will start to worry
me a little bit, but the rain doesn't really put
me off.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I will say this, though, our roads.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Don't drain as well here as they do in places
that are more accustomed to getting deluges. So cal I'm
sure you've got a lot of rain when you were
growing up on the East Coast. I did in the Midwest.
I worked in Kansas City for a long time. Those
roads are crowned much better, and they drain a whole
lot better than the stuff out here does. And I
(04:49):
don't know why. I don't know if it's just a
difference of the way that the roads are designed, or
I'm really honest to God, I don't know, but it
just sure feels to me like it just does not
drain as well.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Meanwhile, it's not the rain in this case. It's gravity. Boy,
when gravity gets in the way, ain't that a booger?
It's the worst. Gravity is the worst.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Literally, Yeah, makes me saggy in all the places I
don't want to be. That hurts the hurts my eyes
when I look at the scale. Gravity is kind of
my enemy. But at least hasn't tried to come from
my house. People in Rancho Palas Verdi still having more
(05:36):
trouble now, more movements and and it looks like people
are worried that their houses are gonna, I don't know,
fall into the They're not close to falling into the ocean,
but I understand.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
We're here in Palace Verdes, and of course you know
the houses have such beautiful views, but they come with
that risk where we don't know what's gonna happen with
the land. Uh hours ago, the authorities here in this
area got notification that they needed to come and check
something out. I want to bring in here a battalion
chief with La County Fire Department. This come on over
(06:10):
here for me, a battalion chief. This is a manual, sampang.
Tell me about that initial call. Why did you guys
come out?
Speaker 8 (06:16):
So we initially got a call of the investigation outside.
Our one engine response came out. Resident said he noticed
some movement in the backyard, so came out.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
We did Can you just you look out in your
backyard and it starts moving. That doesn't seem right arrive
on seen.
Speaker 8 (06:36):
We have about four residents are affected by this movement
of land. It appears to be about three hundred to
four hundred foot section of coastal bluff. It's actually sluffed
off about fifty to sixty feet.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Okay, three hundred feet is the football field just sluffing off?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Lazy land just sluffing off?
Speaker 7 (06:57):
Does this mean that the structure is threatened?
Speaker 8 (07:00):
Now at this point there is no structural damage or
threat immediately. We will need to follow up on that
with the proper geologists and experts in the soils to
make sure that the movement is stopped.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, and remember this is also that the area where
they already shut gas and electricity off to a number
of homes in Rancho's Pella Verities because.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Of sloughing off lands.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
And so if you're a homeowner there, you've got this
nice place, pretty expensive, can't sell it.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I wouldn't buy it. Would you buy a house there?
With the land? You can't get gas, you can't get
electric it's your yard is sloughing off. I can't think
this is just the worst luck for these people.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
Now tell me about evacuations. Do the people in this neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
From NBCLA by the way, credit to them, but have
to be concerned.
Speaker 8 (07:50):
No mandatory evacuations there has been to the occupants here
that are the most effective residents, they have voluntary, voluntarily evacuated,
but no mandatory evacuations.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
So that's good news for the people on this street
here on Marguerite Drive. What's next? What do you need
to do to wrap this up?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Build a wall, stabilize it. What's happening?
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Well, like I said, solo experts will need to come out.
The city managers already Where they're going to get the
experts out here, probably first light where they can actually
assess the actual damage. Right now, it's too dark to
really see the total impact.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Yeah, obviously that was at night that they were out
there surveying it.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
So I feel bad for you RPV people.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I do. I genuinely feel bad. I get a lot
of people. You shouldn't feel bad for them. They got money.
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Nobody signs up to have their home get devalue.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Did nothing. Not everybody has money.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Sometimes the money is wrapped up into the home itself,
so you lose that, you lose pretty much everything. No bueno,
all right, Portland has become La Junior. I guess because
they're going through the same drill. We did good more
troops in American streets. It's next Chris Meryl I AM
six forty. We live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Kayla yelled at me during the commercial break.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Yeah, man, you have one job. We start the show,
do you set it up? And you completely dropped the ball.
I don't understand. We had a plan, we talked about
it before the show, we go on air, and then
you just I didn't execute it.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah, I didn't do it. You know what I think?
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Next week we got to pull your show off the
air just as punishment, like, how are you not?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Set all right, Well you can set it up now.
I'm sorry to have to yell at you on air.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
But if you are listening on the iHeart app, we
have a little button down there to start talkback button,
and you just click on that and you give us,
you know, thoughts on whatever's happening. But we always ask
a questions. Start talking back question, talk back question.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Today.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
A lot of talk about thailan Ol this week. We'll
discuss that coming up in the five o'clock hour. But
I was curious, I it's headaches are a little bit
like the hiccups, and that everybody has their own remedy,
all right, not not everyone takes tailanol for headaches. Now
(10:13):
this is not about We'll talk about the tail and
all in the news later on. But I was just
thinking about what are some of the other headache remedies
you might have.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I've got a few.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
My parents have some that I think are completely worthless,
and they tried to They tried to pass that miss
misinformation onto me when I was young. Terrible parenting, horrible.
It's a miracle I survived without any sort of you know,
stroke as a child when they tried to do this
(10:44):
remedies that were just more painful than anything else. I'll
tell you about those coming up. Curious about what your
secret headache remedy is? If you're on the app, hit
that talk back button. If you're not on the app,
get on the app, hit the talk back button. Let
us know there we go, looking forward to your secret
headache remedy, especially if it works for anything. When I
get a headache, I turned into a giant baby. I'm
(11:06):
just a big, fat ogre baby, just crying all the time.
My head or I don't deal well with it, and
when the weather changes, that's the worst for me too.
I don't know if you're same boat, but weather is
the worst. Not an alcohol, but you that's self inflicted.
Portland is doing everything they can to be like li La,
(11:29):
because Portland says, look, we've got protests going on, and
we've got shenanigans in the streets, and now they've got
troops on their way. The President announcing that there would
be the introduction of troops. We don't know, National Guard,
active military tunnel. Here's the Katla's report.
Speaker 9 (11:50):
Viewers may remember the unrest and turmoil earlier this year,
as President Trump ordered members of the National Guard and
then dozens of Marines to Los Angeles, US to protect
federal property and personnel during violent clashes, vandalism and protests
in the streets in response to immigration operations.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah, we were on the air for that. Michael Monks
got tear gassed. Amazing.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
The issue remains a political trip wire, and now the
President says he will send troops to Portland, Oregon and elsewhere,
quote authorizing full force if necessary to handle domestic terrorists.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Wonder what full force means?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Does that mean beating them up with a night stick,
or are we going to start seeing some tracer rounds
being sent in full force? It's the broad range. What
does full force mean? Because I think that America would
tolerate watching a few people get beat up with the sticks.
I think that there would be outrage on the left.
There would be people on the right that would say, well,
(12:53):
this is what you had to do to keep law
on order and antifas terrorists and this kind of thing.
But if all of a sudden we we use quote
unquote full force, I mean, you're bringing in f thirty fives.
What are you doing? Cause I gotta tell you, I
think America does have a limit.
Speaker 9 (13:10):
There is no timeline for such a development in the
Northwestern Hub. However, the news triggered a swift and stern
response from local leaders.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Portland and the state of Oregon.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Believe in the rule of law and we can manage
our own local public safety needs.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, I gotta tell you, a history is not really
on your side on that one.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
There is no insurrection, there is no threat to national security,
and there is no need for military troops in our
major city.
Speaker 8 (13:43):
This is not a military target. The President will not
find lawlessness or violence here.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Oh, come on, come on, don't. I don't care.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
If you're Portland and you've got people protesting ICE, or
if you're some random mid sized city, your Abilene, you
will find violence.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
It's we're humans. There's crime.
Speaker 8 (14:08):
The president will not find lawlessness or violence here.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Come on, come on, You're not doing yourself any favors.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
I've been so deeply disappointed to see the footage from
a half decade ago recycled and then recycled again.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
Longland was the scene of sometimes violent protests over the
death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in twenty twenty. According
to reports, recent demonstrations have been significantly less volatile and
more focused on an area surrounding the Immigration and Customs
Enforcement or ICE building outside downtown.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah, it's like when we had stuff going on downtown
here by the the the court.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
No, it wasn't the courthouse, was it.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I remember one of the buildings, some federal You think
I'd be paying attention this big news story.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I was covering it. I was on the air that
already gone in one ear out the other.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
Some federal agents have been injured in flare ups, and
a number of protesters have been charged with AsSalt. Portland
is a so called sanctuary city. These places basically limit
cooperation with ICE.
Speaker 10 (15:16):
Trump is sending troops to Portland with the goal of
quote doing a number on the city. And we know
what this means.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
What does it mean?
Speaker 10 (15:26):
He wants to stake fear and chaos and trigger violent
interactions and riots to justify expanded authoritarian control.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Okay, let's not take the bait.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Ya have you noticed everyone in America is really good
at taking the bait.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I give you the internet.
Speaker 9 (15:44):
The President has previously threatened to send the National Guard
to Chicago.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
It hasn't happened. However, I don't know what that is.
I pulled the audio. So you just get random people
throwing punches or something.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
A contingent is expected in Memphis, Tennessee very soon. Oh
many people there are not happy about it.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Oh not happy man.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
President Trump is blaming what he calls the radical left
for recent political violence. He considers this group quote professional
agitators and anarchists.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Got to be careful with this, Got to be careful now,
the president, I think this was kind of a twofold
move when he declared that Antifa was a terrorist group
and I know some of you are going to say, yeah,
of course they're a terrorist group. Look, they're they're behind
a lot of violence in America. And some of you
will say, how can you say they're terrorist group? They're
not even a group. It's just a label that people
(16:41):
use when they go out and do things on their own.
There's no structure, it's not a group. Don't really care
where you fall in that argument. Here's what you gotta know.
At some point, there is going to be someone on
the left that is going to be a demagogue, and
they are going to come out and they're going to
say that conservatives are a threat to America, and they're
(17:04):
gonna say they're gonna declare MAGA a terrorist group.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Just watch it happen.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
They're gonna say MAGA is a terrorist group, and then
they're gonna start sending troops into Dallas and Houston and
any other conservative stronghold right, and they're gonna say, we
have to root out the terrorists that are MAGA. Maybe
use it as a reason to start taking guns away.
(17:33):
When you start labeling neighbors as terrorists in order to
in order to uh bring about your agenda, you have
to be cautious, and I think there's been a lot
of warnings on the right about don't overplay your hand
because at some point Democrats are gonna have control again.
When they do, do you think the Democrats aren't going
(17:54):
to use it to their advantage? And I think there's
Democrats that are saying, no, we would never do that.
There's other Democrats that are saying, just wait until we
have control again. And there's Republicans that'll say no, they
won't do it. And now there's other Republicans that'll say,
of course I don't trust them. I don't trust them
as far as I can throw them. Of course they're
gonna do it. Well, be careful, be careful. Speaking of
(18:14):
law and order, we'll talk about the law makers, the
law breakers, and the times that there ought to be
a law. Next, Chris Merril I am six forty Relive
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
What is your secret headache remedy? That's our question on
the talk back today. I'm Chris Merril I AM six forty.
This is more stimulating talk. We'll talk time a little
coming up here at about the five twenty or so.
What is your secret headache remedy? I guess My father
used to roll up a towel or a pillow and
put it under his neck and then lie on that
for twenty minutes in a dark room, and he said
(18:51):
it made the headache worse. But then when he got up,
the pain from the headache that he got worse just
subsided back to what it was when it started. And
then he said that, mad, Hi feel better. Dad is
Dad's a quirky one. Dad's a quirky one. If you're
on the iHeart app, just click on that talkback button
and that talkback opens up a little record screen allows
you to record a message.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
You go straight to Kayla's computer.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
So if you have something horrible to say about me,
she filters it out and doesn't make me listen to
that because my feelings get hurt.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
If you have something that's nasty to say about Kayla,
she will hear it. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (19:21):
When I get a headache, uh, just drink water and
if that doesn't help, then we'll potentially stub my toe.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Why or.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
You know, recognize pain somewhere else in my body?
Speaker 10 (19:37):
I don't know, not really much of a secret.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Sounds like my father. That's it. Yeah, just to.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Just replace pain with pain. Oh you think that's bad,
wait until I break your thumbs.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Oh god, I forgot about my headache. All right, man,
whatever works.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
My mother's useless remedy was she started buying in all
that essential oil garbage.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Ugh, you know what. Essential oils are good for? Making
the room smell better.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
That's it. That's what they're good for. There's no other reason.
And I'm gonna get people that are gonna give me
all kinds of hay.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
No, essential oils are so you have to have them.
They're essential and essential oils. No, they make the room
smell better. There's no other purpose for them. But my mother,
oh no, she's got balms and waxes and all kinds
of things that she's made. And when she gets aheadache,
she says, I just need to you just need to
rub some peppermint oil on your temples.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
And I go, what does that do? She says, that
makes the pain go away?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
No, makes me smell like a candy cane. My head
still hurts. Don't make any sense at all, anyway, hit
that talk back. Let me know what your secret remedy
is there is a danger threatening the people of Sacramento,
and they don't seem to know how to stop it.
It's verifying when squirrels attack.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Investigators say this may have all started with a political motive.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Hang on, that was the other that's a different Sacramento story.
Hold on, where's my there?
Speaker 11 (21:09):
We in northern California community is on alert after multiple
residents say they were attacked by squirrels.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Don't laugh, you ever bet attacked by a squirrel?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Oh, it's all funny games from your TV studio, smarty pants.
Speaker 11 (21:28):
A handful of residents and San Rafael say.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
The rodents, I thought it was Sacramento.
Speaker 11 (21:33):
Sandrafel have shown no fear, jumping and clinging to people
who are just minding their own business. Many people have
been bitten. Now signs litter the neighborhood warning people to
be an alert for these aggressive critters attack squirrels.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I was just walking along.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
And suddenly, oh, I love when we get man on
the street from person that was attacked by a squirrel.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
There's a squirrel I attached to my thigh, you know,
just calommed on to my thigh.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Like a high school boyfriend.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
And I looked down like what is that, you know?
And I was like, get off, get off, and I'm
trying to brush.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Them off like a high school boyfriend.
Speaker 12 (22:06):
And he's just clinging more and biting like a hot.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
They have like three grand kids, and we're worried that
they'd be out there and they think, oh, I keep squirreling,
might attack them.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Oh, you newscasters think it's all fun and games. Those
these suckers have sharp claws.
Speaker 11 (22:27):
Wildlife experts believe the squirrels were probably fair and they
carry the plague missus chucklepants, I buy humans, which would
explain their lack of fear of people and confusion on
how to forge for food on their own.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
So why was you eating the wildlife? No, why would
you forge for food when humans will give you it.
Speaker 13 (22:47):
You know, we had our own homicidal squirrel here at
the building, right.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
No, I didn't know that.
Speaker 13 (22:52):
Yeah, it attacked Flea from the red hot chili peppers. Oh,
it would come out, it would threat it would look
menacing at me whenever I would be trying to come
into the building, and.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I literally would just tell it, squirrel, I.
Speaker 13 (23:04):
Don't have any nuts, leave me alone, stay away.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Yeah, I'm with you on this. Yeah, yeah, it was horrifying.
Speaker 13 (23:16):
You had to do some mind games like look at
the squirrel and just make sure it wasn't ready to
attack that thing that it was diabolical.
Speaker 12 (23:23):
Yeah, I think that squirrel tried to come at me
the other day.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
It was like coming towards me.
Speaker 12 (23:29):
Yeah, the other day I walked, I walked across the
street and when I was walking back through the courtyard,
this squirrel was like coming at me. I mean, I
wasn't scared of it, but yeah, no, it was well. No,
I used to have squirrels that I would feed it
at an apartment complex where I was at. Okay, I
had a whole mess of them and I would feed
them by hand. I'm part of the problem, I know.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Yeah, you did it.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
You're the reason that the red hot chili peppers are
are down fleet and these squirrels are are gutsy because
we at the in the middle of the night have
coyotes running around in the middle of this place, so
they're not afraid.
Speaker 12 (24:06):
And I've seen the coyotes too.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
The coyotes can't climb trees, so squirrels are like all
have to do is get up over about seven feet
and they're safe, right, they know that, but I mean,
they don't all make it right. And Lincolnzales dating squirrels
to be coyote food right job

KFI AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Still to come on the program. We'll head to Portland.
We'll find out what's going on with the troops on
the ground. Of course, LA Law is coming up this
hour and a major threat to a number of people
in northern California.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
You're not gonna believe what they have to keep their
eyes out for. Next.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
The rapture looks good compared to this that is all
coming up this hour. First, some people thought it was
the rapture when there was a tremendous amount of rain
that fell in parts of Los Angeles and San Bernardino
Counties yesterday. For those of you that had to deal
with it, boo. Not a lot of fun flash flood
(00:46):
mornings all over the place. Those have expired them.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
The fast moving storm system hit the San Bernardino Mountains,
triggering heavy rain and threats of flooding. A flood advisory
that had been in effect most of the day in
that area was canceled just owt yars Ago, but the
National Weather Service says that there is still a threat
of minor flooding in some low lying areas and poor
drainage spots, and they're urging motorists traveling on mountain roads,
(01:11):
especially at night, to be extra cautious when driving on
wet or muddy road.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Let's tell you what the worst part is when the
rains come down. And I don't know if you guys
experience this, if you dealt with any of the rain.
I maybe it's because I'm old, maybe it's because the
way things are painted now, But I have the worst
time seeing God, I'm sounding like Andy Rooney all of
a sudden, Oh don't you hate it when it rains,
(01:36):
and I just I can't see the lane markers. I mean,
depending on the angle, and if it's antt it's it's
very difficult for me, and I realize I just need
to stay off the road.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I'm not afraid of driving in the rain.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I don't have any problem with I know some people
get real white knuckled, right it starts raining, and they go,
oh my gosh, And then you see all the you know,
the traffic backups, and you know, lucy, and traffic has
to start telling you about where everybody's backed up here,
and there's a wreck here, and your delay is this long,
and YadA, YadA, YadA. I'm not worried about that, but
(02:10):
I do man. I had some trouble seeing some some
road markers. I think I saw the flash floods they
had in Arizona, but I guess they were losing cars.
Cars were getting washed away in some of their mountain towns.
No bueno, my friends. Meanwhile, portion Highway thirty eight between
(02:32):
Redlands and Big Bear still closed, gonna be closed for
a while because of the rain from earlier. And I
guess it was late last week right that was had
a tropical store Mario and burn scars and all of
a sudden, Highway thirty eight just got washed out. The
photos are incredible. I mean there's just nothing for the
(02:56):
road to go on. I mean the road is gone.
But it's not like the road broke up, but there's
a ditch. It's just there's just nothing there anymore. Repairing
this road, I think means installing a bridge where there
didn't used to be one.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I think that's how they're gonna have.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
To fix it, because it is just completely gone. Cal
Tretton says they have no idea how long it's gonna last.
So that's great, that's wonderful. My uh wife works with
a woman who refuses to come in when it's raining.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
She won't do it. My type of girl, is that right?
You don't do it either.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
I mean I have to do it. I don't have
the luxury of not doing it. But if I had
a choice, I would much rather be home when it rains.
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Because you don't want to drive or you just want
to stay home and enjoy the rain?
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Oh yeah, the rain is just stay in the house weather,
snuggle up, get yourself some good snacks, and some good movies,
got you?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. In this case, the woman, she
refused to get in the car, so she's scared. Yeah,
it is scary.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
I spent out one time in the rain, so it
is scary.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I think I can only remember one time that I
did too.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Now, I grew up in the Great White North, so
like snow scares me a little, it doesn't scare me.
But I have to adjust my driving habits. For sure,
I adjust them when it rains. But you know me,
I'm the annoying guy who's already driving the speed limit.
Yeah right, So all of a sudden, when it rains,
it's like, oh, everyone else wants to drive the speed
limit now, well, welcome to Mike Daily. But for me,
(04:21):
it's more like ice and snow will start to worry
me a little bit, but the rain doesn't really put
me off.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I will say this, though, our roads.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Don't drain as well here as they do in places
that are more accustomed to getting deluges. So cal I'm
sure you've got a lot of rain when you were
growing up on the East Coast. I did in the Midwest.
I worked in Kansas City for a long time. Those
roads are crowned much better, and they drain a whole
lot better than the stuff out here does. And I
(04:49):
don't know why. I don't know if it's just a
difference of the way that the roads are designed, or
I'm really honest to God, I don't know, but it
just sure feels to me like it just does not
drain as well.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Meanwhile, it's not the rain in this case. It's gravity. Boy,
when gravity gets in the way, ain't that a booger?
It's the worst. Gravity is the worst.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Literally, Yeah, makes me saggy in all the places I
don't want to be. That hurts the hurts my eyes
when I look at the scale. Gravity is kind of
my enemy. But at least hasn't tried to come from
my house. People in Rancho Palas Verdi still having more
(05:36):
trouble now, more movements and and it looks like people
are worried that their houses are gonna, I don't know,
fall into the They're not close to falling into the ocean,
but I understand.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
We're here in Palace Verdes, and of course you know
the houses have such beautiful views, but they come with
that risk where we don't know what's gonna happen with
the land. Uh hours ago, the authorities here in this
area got notification that they needed to come and check
something out. I want to bring in here a battalion
chief with La County Fire Department. This come on over
(06:10):
here for me, a battalion chief. This is a manual, sampang.
Tell me about that initial call. Why did you guys
come out?
Speaker 8 (06:16):
So we initially got a call of the investigation outside.
Our one engine response came out. Resident said he noticed
some movement in the backyard, so came out.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
We did Can you just you look out in your
backyard and it starts moving. That doesn't seem right arrive
on seen.
Speaker 8 (06:36):
We have about four residents are affected by this movement
of land. It appears to be about three hundred to
four hundred foot section of coastal bluff. It's actually sluffed
off about fifty to sixty feet.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Okay, three hundred feet is the football field just sluffing off?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Lazy land just sluffing off?
Speaker 7 (06:57):
Does this mean that the structure is threatened?
Speaker 8 (07:00):
Now at this point there is no structural damage or
threat immediately. We will need to follow up on that
with the proper geologists and experts in the soils to
make sure that the movement is stopped.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Yeah, and remember this is also that the area where
they already shut gas and electricity off to a number
of homes in Rancho's Pella Verities because.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Of sloughing off lands.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
And so if you're a homeowner there, you've got this
nice place, pretty expensive, can't sell it.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I wouldn't buy it. Would you buy a house there?
With the land? You can't get gas, you can't get
electric it's your yard is sloughing off. I can't think
this is just the worst luck for these people.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
Now tell me about evacuations. Do the people in this neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
From NBCLA by the way, credit to them, but have
to be concerned.
Speaker 8 (07:50):
No mandatory evacuations there has been to the occupants here
that are the most effective residents, they have voluntary, voluntarily evacuated,
but no mandatory evacuations.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
So that's good news for the people on this street
here on Marguerite Drive. What's next? What do you need
to do to wrap this up?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Build a wall, stabilize it. What's happening?
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Well, like I said, solo experts will need to come out.
The city managers already Where they're going to get the
experts out here, probably first light where they can actually
assess the actual damage. Right now, it's too dark to
really see the total impact.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Yeah, obviously that was at night that they were out
there surveying it.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
So I feel bad for you RPV people.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I do. I genuinely feel bad. I get a lot
of people. You shouldn't feel bad for them. They got money.
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Nobody signs up to have their home get devalue.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Did nothing. Not everybody has money.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Sometimes the money is wrapped up into the home itself,
so you lose that, you lose pretty much everything. No bueno,
all right, Portland has become La Junior. I guess because
they're going through the same drill. We did good more
troops in American streets. It's next Chris Meryl I AM
six forty. We live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Kayla yelled at me during the commercial break.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
Yeah, man, you have one job. We start the show,
do you set it up? And you completely dropped the ball.
I don't understand. We had a plan, we talked about
it before the show, we go on air, and then
you just I didn't execute it.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah, I didn't do it. You know what I think?
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Next week we got to pull your show off the
air just as punishment, like, how are you not?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Set all right, Well you can set it up now.
I'm sorry to have to yell at you on air.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
But if you are listening on the iHeart app, we
have a little button down there to start talkback button,
and you just click on that and you give us,
you know, thoughts on whatever's happening. But we always ask
a questions. Start talking back question, talk back question.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Today.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
A lot of talk about thailan Ol this week. We'll
discuss that coming up in the five o'clock hour. But
I was curious, I it's headaches are a little bit
like the hiccups, and that everybody has their own remedy,
all right, not not everyone takes tailanol for headaches. Now
(10:13):
this is not about We'll talk about the tail and
all in the news later on. But I was just
thinking about what are some of the other headache remedies
you might have.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I've got a few.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
My parents have some that I think are completely worthless,
and they tried to They tried to pass that miss
misinformation onto me when I was young. Terrible parenting, horrible.
It's a miracle I survived without any sort of you know,
stroke as a child when they tried to do this
(10:44):
remedies that were just more painful than anything else. I'll
tell you about those coming up. Curious about what your
secret headache remedy is? If you're on the app, hit
that talk back button. If you're not on the app,
get on the app, hit the talk back button. Let
us know there we go, looking forward to your secret
headache remedy, especially if it works for anything. When I
get a headache, I turned into a giant baby. I'm
(11:06):
just a big, fat ogre baby, just crying all the time.
My head or I don't deal well with it, and
when the weather changes, that's the worst for me too.
I don't know if you're same boat, but weather is
the worst. Not an alcohol, but you that's self inflicted.
Portland is doing everything they can to be like li La,
(11:29):
because Portland says, look, we've got protests going on, and
we've got shenanigans in the streets, and now they've got
troops on their way. The President announcing that there would
be the introduction of troops. We don't know, National Guard,
active military tunnel. Here's the Katla's report.
Speaker 9 (11:50):
Viewers may remember the unrest and turmoil earlier this year,
as President Trump ordered members of the National Guard and
then dozens of Marines to Los Angeles, US to protect
federal property and personnel during violent clashes, vandalism and protests
in the streets in response to immigration operations.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah, we were on the air for that. Michael Monks
got tear gassed. Amazing.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
The issue remains a political trip wire, and now the
President says he will send troops to Portland, Oregon and elsewhere,
quote authorizing full force if necessary to handle domestic terrorists.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Wonder what full force means?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Does that mean beating them up with a night stick,
or are we going to start seeing some tracer rounds
being sent in full force? It's the broad range. What
does full force mean? Because I think that America would
tolerate watching a few people get beat up with the sticks.
I think that there would be outrage on the left.
There would be people on the right that would say, well,
(12:53):
this is what you had to do to keep law
on order and antifas terrorists and this kind of thing.
But if all of a sudden we we use quote
unquote full force, I mean, you're bringing in f thirty fives.
What are you doing? Cause I gotta tell you, I
think America does have a limit.
Speaker 9 (13:10):
There is no timeline for such a development in the
Northwestern Hub. However, the news triggered a swift and stern
response from local leaders.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Portland and the state of Oregon.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
Believe in the rule of law and we can manage
our own local public safety needs.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, I gotta tell you, a history is not really
on your side on that one.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
There is no insurrection, there is no threat to national security,
and there is no need for military troops in our
major city.
Speaker 8 (13:43):
This is not a military target. The President will not
find lawlessness or violence here.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Oh, come on, come on, don't. I don't care.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
If you're Portland and you've got people protesting ICE, or
if you're some random mid sized city, your Abilene, you
will find violence.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
It's we're humans. There's crime.
Speaker 8 (14:08):
The president will not find lawlessness or violence here.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Come on, come on, You're not doing yourself any favors.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
I've been so deeply disappointed to see the footage from
a half decade ago recycled and then recycled again.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
Longland was the scene of sometimes violent protests over the
death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in twenty twenty. According
to reports, recent demonstrations have been significantly less volatile and
more focused on an area surrounding the Immigration and Customs
Enforcement or ICE building outside downtown.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah, it's like when we had stuff going on downtown
here by the the the court.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
No, it wasn't the courthouse, was it.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I remember one of the buildings, some federal You think
I'd be paying attention this big news story.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I was covering it. I was on the air that
already gone in one ear out the other.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
Some federal agents have been injured in flare ups, and
a number of protesters have been charged with AsSalt. Portland
is a so called sanctuary city. These places basically limit
cooperation with ICE.
Speaker 10 (15:16):
Trump is sending troops to Portland with the goal of
quote doing a number on the city. And we know
what this means.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
What does it mean?
Speaker 10 (15:26):
He wants to stake fear and chaos and trigger violent
interactions and riots to justify expanded authoritarian control.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Okay, let's not take the bait.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Ya have you noticed everyone in America is really good
at taking the bait.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
I give you the internet.
Speaker 9 (15:44):
The President has previously threatened to send the National Guard
to Chicago.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
It hasn't happened. However, I don't know what that is.
I pulled the audio. So you just get random people
throwing punches or something.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
A contingent is expected in Memphis, Tennessee very soon. Oh
many people there are not happy about it.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Oh not happy man.
Speaker 9 (16:10):
President Trump is blaming what he calls the radical left
for recent political violence. He considers this group quote professional
agitators and anarchists.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Got to be careful with this, Got to be careful now,
the president, I think this was kind of a twofold
move when he declared that Antifa was a terrorist group
and I know some of you are going to say, yeah,
of course they're a terrorist group. Look, they're they're behind
a lot of violence in America. And some of you
will say, how can you say they're terrorist group? They're
not even a group. It's just a label that people
(16:41):
use when they go out and do things on their own.
There's no structure, it's not a group. Don't really care
where you fall in that argument. Here's what you gotta know.
At some point, there is going to be someone on
the left that is going to be a demagogue, and
they are going to come out and they're going to
say that conservatives are a threat to America, and they're
(17:04):
gonna say they're gonna declare MAGA a terrorist group.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Just watch it happen.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
They're gonna say MAGA is a terrorist group, and then
they're gonna start sending troops into Dallas and Houston and
any other conservative stronghold right, and they're gonna say, we
have to root out the terrorists that are MAGA. Maybe
use it as a reason to start taking guns away.
(17:33):
When you start labeling neighbors as terrorists in order to
in order to uh bring about your agenda, you have
to be cautious, and I think there's been a lot
of warnings on the right about don't overplay your hand
because at some point Democrats are gonna have control again.
When they do, do you think the Democrats aren't going
(17:54):
to use it to their advantage? And I think there's
Democrats that are saying, no, we would never do that.
There's other Democrats that are saying, just wait until we
have control again. And there's Republicans that'll say no, they
won't do it. And now there's other Republicans that'll say,
of course I don't trust them. I don't trust them
as far as I can throw them. Of course they're
gonna do it. Well, be careful, be careful. Speaking of
(18:14):
law and order, we'll talk about the law makers, the
law breakers, and the times that there ought to be
a law. Next, Chris Merril I am six forty Relive
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
What is your secret headache remedy? That's our question on
the talk back today. I'm Chris Merril I AM six forty.
This is more stimulating talk. We'll talk time a little
coming up here at about the five twenty or so.
What is your secret headache remedy? I guess My father
used to roll up a towel or a pillow and
put it under his neck and then lie on that
for twenty minutes in a dark room, and he said
(18:51):
it made the headache worse. But then when he got up,
the pain from the headache that he got worse just
subsided back to what it was when it started. And
then he said that, mad, Hi feel better. Dad is
Dad's a quirky one. Dad's a quirky one. If you're

and that talkback opens up a little record screen allows
you to record a message.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
You go straight to Kayla's computer.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
So if you have something horrible to say about me,
she filters it out and doesn't make me listen to
that because my feelings get hurt.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
If you have something that's nasty to say about Kayla,
she will hear it. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (19:21):
When I get a headache, uh, just drink water and
if that doesn't help, then we'll potentially stub my toe.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Why or.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
You know, recognize pain somewhere else in my body?
Speaker 10 (19:37):
I don't know, not really much of a secret.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Sounds like my father. That's it. Yeah, just to.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Just replace pain with pain. Oh you think that's bad,
wait until I break your thumbs.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Oh god, I forgot about my headache. All right, man,
whatever works.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
My mother's useless remedy was she started buying in all
that essential oil garbage.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Ugh, you know what. Essential oils are good for? Making
the room smell better.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
That's it. That's what they're good for. There's no other reason.
And I'm gonna get people that are gonna give me
all kinds of hay.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
No, essential oils are so you have to have them.
They're essential and essential oils. No, they make the room
smell better. There's no other purpose for them. But my mother,
oh no, she's got balms and waxes and all kinds
of things that she's made. And when she gets aheadache,
she says, I just need to you just need to
rub some peppermint oil on your temples.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
And I go, what does that do? She says, that
makes the pain go away?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
No, makes me smell like a candy cane. My head
still hurts. Don't make any sense at all, anyway, hit
that talk back. Let me know what your secret remedy
is there is a danger threatening the people of Sacramento,
and they don't seem to know how to stop it.
It's verifying when squirrels attack.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Investigators say this may have all started with a political motive.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Hang on, that was the other that's a different Sacramento story.
Hold on, where's my there?
Speaker 11 (21:09):
We in northern California community is on alert after multiple
residents say they were attacked by squirrels.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Don't laugh, you ever bet attacked by a squirrel?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Oh, it's all funny games from your TV studio, smarty pants.
Speaker 11 (21:28):
A handful of residents and San Rafael say.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
The rodents, I thought it was Sacramento.
Speaker 11 (21:33):
Sandrafel have shown no fear, jumping and clinging to people
who are just minding their own business. Many people have
been bitten. Now signs litter the neighborhood warning people to
be an alert for these aggressive critters attack squirrels.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I was just walking along.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
And suddenly, oh, I love when we get man on
the street from person that was attacked by a squirrel.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
There's a squirrel I attached to my thigh, you know,
just calommed on to my thigh.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Like a high school boyfriend.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
And I looked down like what is that, you know?
And I was like, get off, get off, and I'm
trying to brush.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Them off like a high school boyfriend.
Speaker 12 (22:06):
And he's just clinging more and biting like a hot.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
They have like three grand kids, and we're worried that
they'd be out there and they think, oh, I keep squirreling,
might attack them.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Oh, you newscasters think it's all fun and games. Those
these suckers have sharp claws.
Speaker 11 (22:27):
Wildlife experts believe the squirrels were probably fair and they
carry the plague missus chucklepants, I buy humans, which would
explain their lack of fear of people and confusion on
how to forge for food on their own.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
So why was you eating the wildlife? No, why would
you forge for food when humans will give you it.
Speaker 13 (22:47):
You know, we had our own homicidal squirrel here at
the building, right.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
No, I didn't know that.
Speaker 13 (22:52):
Yeah, it attacked Flea from the red hot chili peppers. Oh,
it would come out, it would threat it would look
menacing at me whenever I would be trying to come
into the building, and.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I literally would just tell it, squirrel, I.
Speaker 13 (23:04):
Don't have any nuts, leave me alone, stay away.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Yeah, I'm with you on this. Yeah, yeah, it was horrifying.
Speaker 13 (23:16):
You had to do some mind games like look at
the squirrel and just make sure it wasn't ready to
attack that thing that it was diabolical.
Speaker 12 (23:23):
Yeah, I think that squirrel tried to come at me
the other day.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
It was like coming towards me.
Speaker 12 (23:29):
Yeah, the other day I walked, I walked across the
street and when I was walking back through the courtyard,
this squirrel was like coming at me. I mean, I
wasn't scared of it, but yeah, no, it was well. No,
I used to have squirrels that I would feed it
at an apartment complex where I was at. Okay, I
had a whole mess of them and I would feed
them by hand. I'm part of the problem, I know.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Yeah, you did it.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
You're the reason that the red hot chili peppers are
are down fleet and these squirrels are are gutsy because
we at the in the middle of the night have
coyotes running around in the middle of this place, so
they're not afraid.
Speaker 12 (24:06):
And I've seen the coyotes too.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
The coyotes can't climb trees, so squirrels are like all
have to do is get up over about seven feet
and they're safe, right, they know that, but I mean,
they don't all make it right. And Lincolnzales dating squirrels
to be coyote food right job

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
