Thanks for starting your day with us on wake Up Call.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and this morning
we're live back in studio after a day at the
Anaheim White House for kfi's fifteenth annual Postathon. Wow, that
(01:25):
was so much fun. And to you early risers as off,
hats off, hats off, like Donna and Anthony and Trish
and Debbie, Wanda, Verne, Lauren and several others who came
by early. We know that we were talking about how
later in the day Postathon gets pretty packed and it's
a pretty big party. But it's a big ask to say, hey,
(01:47):
you guys show up at five am, and we actually
we had a bunch of people this year and it
was so great to see everybody. So thanks for coming
and hanging out and we appreciate it a ton. We'll
just say CAFI listeners best on the planet and leave
it at that, really honestly, and thank you for everybody
who donated. We'll get you some totals as of now,

but we are still taken donations. So if you haven't
made a donation yet, or you haven't stopped by Wendy's
to get your coupon book or gone to Smart and Final,
there are still ways to donate. We want to get
that tally up, but we're doing pretty good so far.
Here's what's ahead on Wake Up Call. LA County supervisors
have given preliminary approval as expected to an ordinance that
(02:30):
would ban law enforcement officers from wearing masks on the
job and would require them to provide id when conducting
immigration enforcement. Supervisor Catherine Barger abstained from the vote, saying
the measure couldn't be enforced and that it was symbolic
rather than effective. A man from Koreatown's been charged with
throwing molotov cocktails at security officers inside a federal building
(02:54):
in downtown La. Billy say they believe the attack was
motivated by opposition to the Trump administration's cracked out on
illegal immigration. He's scheduled to be in court today, and
a Waymo driverless cab has driven right through the scene
of a police standoff in La The Robotaxi was caught
on video making a left turn onto a street early
Sunday near the Federal courthouse downtown where a pickup had
(03:16):
been pulled over and was sitting next to several police
cruisers that had their lights flashing. The way. Most slowly
passed by didn't hit the suspect, who was lying on
the ground next to the pickup. A way Most spokesperson says,
the vehicle cleared the scene and the passengers reached their
destination safely. Wow, it's and it's on video. If you
(03:36):
want to just google it, you can see. It's kind
of funny. I'm funny that nobody got hurt. You know,
you know what I mean. Okay, Rich Demiro is going
to join us a little bit later. He's going to
help us save money with his favorite go to website
to find the best promo codes as you're out doing
your holiday shopping. Very important. Luigi Mangioni is going to
(03:58):
be in court again today. It's still pre trial and
some pretty interesting stuff is coming up even though the
trial hasn't even started. ABC's Peter Harralambus is going to
join us to tell us about that. We have Major
Andrew Donlin of the US Space Force. He works at
Space Command in El Segundo, and he's going to join us.
(04:19):
They're doing this competition and we're going to find out
what they're doing and what they're competing for. Love the
Space Force, Love the Space Force, and Amy's on it.
What am I on this week? Well, I am on something.
That producer and said you got to watch this show,
and she was right, She's right. It's all her fault
that I loved it. That's coming up at the bottom
(04:41):
of the hour. Let's get started with some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news
from the La City Council has delayed a plan to
waive permit fees for people rebuilding in the Pacific Palisades.
Joel Federico lives there. He says the assistance is needed
as the cost of putting the neighborhood back together, as.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
High fees are on the scale of grading and backfilling
for us, on the scale of our plants, on the
scale of our driveways and our walkways, and I'm here
to ask for your support.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
The city Council decided to send the issue back to
a committee for further review. Members express concern about the
cost and whether enough building types in the Palisades would
be covered. The cost of waving permit feest has been
estimated at between eighty six million and two hundred and
seventy eight million dollars. LA Mayor bass is encouraging people
in LA to sign up for medical before the start
(05:35):
of the new year. She says starting in January, people
nineteen and up without so called statisfactory immigration status won't
be eligible to enroll for full benefits. Bassa's healthcare costs
are one of the major causes of people falling into homelessness.
Mor San Ana Win's expected to blow through southern California today,
pushing temperatures slightly higher and prompting warnings about possible downed
(05:57):
trees and power outages. Forecasters say gusts of fifty five
to sixty miles per hour expected in the mountains, forty
five miles per hour expected along the coast and in
the Santa Clarita and San Fernando Valleys. It's five oh
seven on your wake up call this Wednesday morning. Time
to say good morning to ABC's Peter Haralambus. Glad to
talk to you again today. Luigi Mangioni is expected to
(06:20):
be in court for a third day of pre trial hearings.
But what happened in day two?
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Yeah, Day two, Luigi Mangoni, for the first time in
the year, came face to face with the police officer
who arrested him last year in Altoona, Pennsylvania. This police
officer recollecting in detail approaching Mangioni. He told the court
that as soon as he saw Mangioni pull down his mask,
he knew immediately that that was the man who was
(06:48):
suspected of shooting United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. He went
on to kind of question him for about twenty minutes
before they actually began the procedure of arresting him. Those
twenty minutes really the central question that defence lawyers are
trying to hone in on. They say that not reading
him his rights for that long violated his Fourth Amendment rights,
(07:09):
and for that reason anything he said to police. For example,
he told police he was homeless, he told police that
he was a different person, he gave him a fake ID.
All of that, they say should be thrown out. The
hearing is set to resume on Thursday morning. We're off
today where we're expecting to hear from a few more witnesses.
At this point, we're not even halfway through this marathon hearing.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Okay, and the officer, there's there's so many details in this,
but the officer had said, as I understand it, and
tell tell me if I'm wrong, Peter, that he was
fearful because he was afraid that Mangiono mun have a gun,
might attack or something like that, and that's why he
got into the backpack. When the defense is saying, you
(07:52):
shouldn't have been in that backpack because you didn't.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Have a warrant, that's exactly right. This officer basically he
told the court that ahead of this arrest, he had
been pretty incessantly watching Fox News, which was covering this
assassination extensively. So he basically told the cord in detail
that he had seen the photos of the suspected shooter,
he had seen the video of Mangioni allegedly walking up
(08:18):
to Brian Thompson shooting him in the back, and that
when he connected the two together, that the person sitting
in the back of the McDonald's was in fact the
United Healthcare shooter. He believed that this person could be
armed and dangerous. He believed that he and his partner
were potentially in danger and tried to de escalate the situation. So, basically,
(08:39):
in de escalating the situation, the two the officer in
Mangoni basically just started lying to each other. So Mangioni
said that he was a completely different person. He claimed
that he was homeless. The officer also claimed that the
reason he was stopping Manchioni was because the McDonald's of
employees thought he was loitering. He said that they get
a ton of calls about people, you know, staying too
(09:01):
long in the McDonald's, and that's the reason, and it's
no big deal and that hopefully it should be settled
out real quick, while in reality he was stalling. He
said that more officers could show up eventually. The arrest
only took place after about a dozen officers were surrounding
Manngioni to prevent any kind of issue from taking place.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Okay, and then it is it unusual, Peter, that we're
hearing so much about what about what the prosecution knows
and that kind of stuff before the trial even starts.
I mean, it feels like the trial's underway, but this
is all pre trial stuff.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Yeah, that's exactly right. It is deeply unusual, and if anything,
it's kinnter productive to defense attorneys. They're the ones who
wanted this, and they're very concerned about pre trial publicity.
They didn't want this hearing to become a fiasco. They
didn't want to become what they called the mini trial.
But that's exactly what they're getting here. You usually don't
get this amount of information. You don't get to see
the evidence itself before the trial takes place, but we're
(09:59):
getting all of it laid out in detail. The judge
yesterday granted a defense request to steal all these exhibits,
meaning that with the exception of them being played in court,
we're not actually going to see them released until at
least the trial. If they're admitting into evidence. But even so,
all of this pre trial publicity is not something Manngioti's
attorneys want because in a way, it could prejudice him
(10:23):
when they actually get to jury selection. This is a
case that is being extensively followed in New York and
the New York local news, and the jury pool is
going to be comprised of those New Yorkers. So having
Manjoni all in the news, having all these actions covered extensively,
you know, could buy it's a future juror and make
it harder for him to get a fair trial.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Okay, ABC's Peter hi Alamos, thank you so much for
the info. So we're off today and then more pre
trial tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Yep, tomorrow, we're back, and then Friday as well. It
could even roll to it next week.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Okay, thank you so much, Peter. We'll talk to you
again soon.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Ax.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Great, let's get back to some of the stories coming
out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The Afghan
man accused of shooting two National Guard members in Washington,
d C. Killing one of them, has pleaded not guilty.
He's charged with murder, assault with the intent to kill,
and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence.
He appeared before a judge remotely yesterday from his hospital bed.
(11:18):
He's still recovering from gunshot injuries. He was shot by
another National Guard member during the attack. Last week. Officials
at the University of Delaware say a student has been
caught with weapons and a notebook that had detailed drawings
of the campus police department. Police say the notebook mentioned
a member of the university police department by name and
included a drawing of the building's entry and exits. The
(11:41):
student was arrested last week and has been banned from
all University of Delaware campuses while the investigation is underway.
Russia's top federal policy official calls talks with the US
on ending the war with Ukraine useful, but says there's
more to be done. US Special Envoy Steve Whitkoff met
with Russia's President Putin in Moscow yes day, but former
(12:01):
US Ambassador to Ukraine, Steve pi versays the Russians and
Ukrainians are still far apart.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
These five hours of talks in Moscow, did they produce
any real change, any indication that the Russians are prepared
to begin to compromise on some of their demands. I'm
dubious because I don't think Putin yet believes that he
has to negotiate in a serious way.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Wikoff and others met with a Ukrainian delegation in Florida
on Sunday. Israel says partial remains returned by Hamas militants
this week did not match either of the two hostages
remaining in Gaza. One was an Israeli police officer, the
other was an agricultural worker from Thailand. The missing remains
threatened to stall the first phase of the ceasefire between
(12:44):
Israel and Hamas. Still, Israel says it will start allowing
Palestinians to leave Gaza through a reopened border crossing in Rafa.
President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth have defended
the strike against an alleged Venezuelan drug boat that has
law Baker's demanding answers. At a cabinet meeting at the
White House, both were asked about a Washington Post report
(13:05):
that Hegseth ordered that no one on the boat be
left alive. Heigsath says he backs his general's decision for
the second strike on the boat and says it was
a justified attack. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says he
wants the full video released of the strike on the
boat in September, in which two survivors were allegedly killed.
Schumer also says President Trump's threat of possible land strikes
(13:28):
in Venezuela would need approval from Congress.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
If Trump were to order an attack on land, that
would be an act of war, and Congress would invoke
the War Powers Act.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
It's Congress's prerogative, he says. He hopes Republicans will defend
Congress's role. A strong nor'easter is blowing through the Midwest
and Northeast, bringing heavy snow and icy roads to the region.
Millions are under some sort of weather alert through at
least today. States like Ohio, West Virginia, and parts of
Pennsylvania could see more than an inch of snowfall per hour.
Northeast states could get up to six inches or more.
(14:02):
Coastal cities are going to get mostly rain. Record cold
temperatures may also be felt in Iowa and Nebraska by tomorrow.
A memorial service for the beloved K nine shot and
killed in the line of duty is being held this
morning at the Burbank police station. The service for Spike,
the four year old Belgian Malinoi, who was killed November
(14:23):
twenty second while chasing a guy trying to hide from police,
gets underway this morning at eleven, following a procession from
the Burbank Animal Shelter. A second round of Santa Ana
wins expected to blow into the south Land. Forecaster say
wind gus fifty five to sixty miles per hour could
knock down trees and lead to power outages in the mountains.
Winds are expected to blow up to forty five miles
per hour along the coast and in the Santa Clarita
(14:44):
in San Fernando Valleys. A twelve foot statue of Kermit
the Frog dressed as Charlie Chaplin, has stood a top
tower at the front gate of Jim Henson Studios in
Hollywood for years. It's headed to Flora, though the landmark
has been donated to the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta,
which is home to the largest collection of Henson artifacts
(15:07):
in the world. Not clear when the statch is going
to be moved. At six so five, it's handle on
the news. The Trump administration is threatening to pull snap
funding Okay, I am in the wrong section of the
I'm like, it's not time for Amy's on it yet,
It's time for Rich DeMuro. Okay, sorry about that little
(15:27):
brain fart. Rich de Muro, good morning, the host of
Rich on Tech. I got sidetracked by all the fun
talk about Pastathon and Wendy's chili, which is duh delicious.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Okay, that's been a bit. I did have Wendy's nugets
the other day and they were good.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I love Wendy's. Okay, So for the holiday shopping season,
we want to know. We've been teasing it all morning.
What is your go to to find the best promo
code so you can save some cash shopping online?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Okay, there is only one way website that I go to.
I know there's a million out there, and you can
spend eight hundred hours on Google searching promo codes for
whatever website. You're never going to find them. This is
the website that has it. Every single time. If there
is a code for a site, this will have it.
I don't know why, it just does. It is called
you ready for this, yep? Simply Coodes dot com. You
(16:21):
don't even have to sign up. You don't have to
do anything special. Just go to that website, tap the
magnifying like the search glass in the upper right hand corner,
and just type in the name of the company that
you're shopping at or the website, and if there is
a code, it will be on simply codes, and you
can try to prove me wrong. But I will tell
you I've tested all the different websites out there. This
(16:44):
one works every single time. And if you don't, like
I've had people email me like, Rich, I didn't find
a code for a site, and I was like, well,
does that site have a code somewhere else, because it
probably doesn't.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Got it? Okay, So the one that I have that's
kind of built into my phone right now is the
Capital One. Have you?
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Is that decent or this one's just way better?
Speaker 4 (17:07):
So that's funny you say that because the Capital One
they bought a company and I'm trying to remember what
that company was That used to be my favorite, but
now that it's owned by a giant credit card company,
of course I'm not a fan of it. So but yes,
that one, I'm trying to remember what the name of
that they bought, like a startup that was my favorite
code company, and so I think that that one is
(17:29):
pretty good. I just haven't used it in a while.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Okay, so simplycodes dot com, all right? And also you
have some shopping secrets, and we all love secrets, so
spill the tea.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Yeah, so I did an entire newsletter. You can find
it at richontech dot tv. It's my ultimate holiday shopping
cheat sheet. I'm not kidding. I did not hold back.
I put every single tip that I have about holiday
shopping in this newsletter so that you can benefit, including
all the little lists they have on Amazon, the ways
to check prices on Amazon. You've heard us talk about
Camel Camel Camel. That's a good one. But Amazon also
(18:05):
has their new rufus Ai which is very good at
finding price history and also setting price alerts. Keep a
k eepa. You can add that extension to your Google
Chrome or your other browser that supports extensions, and when
you go to any Amazon page, it will have a nice,
clear price history chart for every single product that you visit.
(18:27):
So that's a good one. Let's see what else do
I have here? Shop Back, which I partner with on
my show, which I love. Basically, you go to shopback
dot Com. You click a link, they will give you
a percent back on your purchases and they work with Amazon.
By the way, if you're looking for Apple prices like
Apple Gear, you know Apple typically does not discount their
own products, but third parties do so if you go
(18:48):
to the MacRumors Buyer's Guide or Apple Insider's price guides,
whatever product you're looking for. Like, let's just say I'm
looking for a new iPad mini. I don't know why
i'd be looking for that, but let's say I am.
I can tell here if you go to their website
the best prices just by clicking on iPad mini, and
it will tell you all the different places it's selling
(19:10):
for and how much and the discount and how much
it typically. It's it's really really good.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And is it pretty easy? Because it's to me, I
want ease and I kind of have add when it
comes to like just sitting and surfing around. I just
want to get it done.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
This is easy, and I can tell you just looking
at that iPad mini. It gives me a list of
all the you know, that's the thing. You want to
use a big retailer like an Amazon, a BNH, A
Best buy and it tells you the discount at each
of those places. Right now. iPad Mini sadly is only
getting like a ten dollars discount, so don't buy that
right now.

The Trump administration says California and other Democrat controlled states
risk losing SNAP funding unless they provide information about who's
getting the assistance. Agriculture Secretary Brick Rowlins's rampant fraud has
already been found in data from states that have turned
over the information. We've found one hundred and.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Eighty six thousand dead people who dead, people's social Security
numbers being used.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Five hundred thousand people receiving benefits more than twice.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
The states have been given into next week to turn
over the data, including people's names and immigration status. About
five million people in California rely on SNAP benefits. La
County has given preliminary approval to a ban on masks
covering the faces of law enforcements.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
The band would apply to all police, local, state, and
federal and unincorporated areas of the county. Supervisor Jennis Hans
says it's needed because of masked immigration agents, and she
expects a legal challenge from the White House.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
Yes, this is going to be argued in court. Yes,
we will have a judge ultimately decide the legality of
what we're asking on.
Speaker 8 (21:34):
Says people should know the identities of those claiming to
be police and taking them into custody. A second and
final vote is scheduled for next week. Michael Monks KFI News.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Okay. We know there are bad drivers in every state,
but there's a new list out offering the ranking of
the best and worst states for drivers.
Speaker 11 (22:38):
The worst drivers in America can be found on the
roads of North Dakota. That's according to a new lending
Tree report that shows the apptly named rough rider state
with sixty four incidents per one thousand drivers. New Jersey
came in second worst, followed by Utah Road Island in Washington.
California was ninth worst. The report looks at accidents, DUIs, speeding,
and other driving violations to determine the rankings. Michigan was
(22:59):
ranked best with just twenty one incidents per one thousand drivers.

Mark Ronner.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Kayfi News.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
That's not funny abrupt, Okay. One of two physicians charged
in Friends Star Matthew Perry's death is expected to be
sentenced today in downtown LA. He pleaded guilty to federal
charges of providing ketamine to Perry. Salvador Placentia bases up
to forty years in prison, but his plea deal will
most likely mean he'll get a shorter sentence. November was
(23:28):
the wettest in downtown LA in nearly sixty years and
the fifth wettest on record. Forecaster say five point five
to three inches of rain fell in downtown. It's the
most rain recorded since nineteen sixty seven. Records for downtown
La Day back to eighteen seventy seven the National Weather Services.
In a normal year, Downtown gets point seven eight inches
(23:49):
of rain. In November, a federal judge in la Is
again ruled for share in her lawsuit. They claimed Sonny
Bono's widow owes her a million dollars in royalties for
Sunny and Share songs. In the ruling, the judge said
Mary Bono could not use the Federal Copyright Act to
reclaim a fifty percent share of Sonny's royalties for songs
(24:09):
like I Got You Babe and the beat goes on
at six oh five its handle on the news. The
Trump administration is threatening to pull snap funding from Red states.
So I'll tell you all about that. Wait, my sounders,
So you.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Want me to sing it? Yep? What Amy's on it?
Speaker 7 (24:30):
Wait?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Hold on, that didn't work, Okay, Amy's on it it? Okay, okay,
So what am I on? I'm on the stream and
there's a lot out there right now and so it's
kind of getting backed up. But producer Anne and I
were talking and she said, have you seen this yet?
You got to watch this. You got to watch this,
And so I listened to Anne. That made her smile,
(24:55):
and so I did, and we found all her fault
on Peacock, all her fault. What is it? It's eight seasons.
The whole season is out. It stars Sarah Snook. You'll
remember her from Succession Love Her. She plays a woman
named Marisa, and Jake late Lacy, who you might recognize
from White Lotus is Marisa's husband. Peter Dakota Fanning is
(25:19):
in it. She's the mom of one of the playmates
of the boy who disappears. So the show starts with
mom Maris's starting looking for her son. She goes to
pick him up from a playdate and she gets to
the house and she goes, I'm here to pick up Milo,
who is her son, And the woman looks at her
and is like, I don't know what you're talking about.
(25:41):
I don't have your son, I don't know who Milo is,
and I mean it's a mom's worst nightmare, right, worst nightmare.
And as the hours pass, the realization that her son
has been taken becomes very real, but who took him?
And so that begins this tortuous journey of trying to
figure out who took little Milo, why they took him,
(26:03):
and then of course they're desperate search to get him back.
There's several twists and turns, leads that run dry, distractions
that turn out to be nothing, assumptions that don't pan out,
and the strains that are put on the relationship when
something like this happens are palpable, and I think that
the actors do a great job of portraying that. It's
riveting from the get go. Sarah Snook is a great
(26:26):
tortured mom. I mean, she plays her emotions right on
her sleeve. As an actor, it would have had to
be so hard to do what she did because she's
always just screaming and crying and miserable because I mean,
her son has been taken. The whole cast is great,
and you really don't know pretty much for the entirety
of the show, who to trust, who to believe, who
to be suspect of. It's dark and it's tragic and
(26:48):
it's just darn good. I'm on it. I think you
should be too, and I'm on it because it's all
Anne's fault anyway. It's called all her fault on Peacock.
Highly highly recommend it all right. Time to get in
your business with Knaplomberg's Denise Pelgriny, We get Monica Rickx Today,
former KFI News reporter, Morning Monica, Good morning Amy. I
(27:09):
love joining you. I love it when you join us.
So let's get right into it. Macy's, which has had
a tough go of it, recently, says they're kind of optimistic. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (27:20):
Masey's just raised his financial guidance for the year after
posting us their prior third quarter profit.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
It's probably its strongest comparable.
Speaker 12 (27:26):
Sales in more than three years, the department store chain
posting a solid three point two percent increase for the
quarter that includes licensed businesses like cosmetics, which is important
because comparable sales usually are a good barometer of a
retailer's health. And Yeah, Macy's has been going through it,
but it did get a big boost from so called
cyber Week, that's the five day period from Thanksgiving to
Cyber Monday, which brought in a total of forty four
(27:48):
point two billion dollars online overall.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Huge. Yeah, Okay, And in spite of all this spending,
the economy's kind of tight, so this one makes sense.
Dollar Tree profits are.
Speaker 12 (27:58):
Up, Yeah, they are better than expected profits as well,
same store sales of four point two percent. They just
raise their full year earnings outlook as well. And because
shoppers are stretched so thin, dollar Tree is a good option.
Eighty five percent of its products costs two bucks or less.
It's really resonating with people because consumers have to prioritize
essentials now and they're purchasing fewer discretionary items.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
So this one definitely makes sense. Okay, Now we're going
to turn to cars. There's a couple of stories about cars,
and one of them is that automakers are getting in
the insurance business. What's that about.
Speaker 12 (28:28):
Yes, there's a lot of data on how vehicles are
being driven these days, so car companies are really jumping
in on this and creating their own insurance products. Tesla's
now offering its own insurance in several states, including California,
and it just added three more Colorado, Oregon, and Virginia.
General Motors leveraging information taking through its on Star service
and Volvo, Honda, Toyota, BMW Stilantis. They're all offering self
(28:51):
branded insurance offerings, so more choices are great for consumers.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Okay, In so far, Monica, does it appear that the
car maker insurance is better, worser, about the same as
the other insurance that we already have.
Speaker 12 (29:04):
I think you'd really have to shop around because it
depends on what state you're in. I'll obviously California drivers
pay a little bit more, So it just depends on
what you're driving, and you.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Just got to shop around. But at least there are
more options. I love options. Okay. President Trump is expected
to make an announcement today about cars.
Speaker 12 (29:21):
Yeah, details are still unclear here, but President Trump is
expected to announce new fuel efficiency standards for cars today.
Sources telling Bloomberg that executives from Ford, General Motors, and
Chrysler maker Stilantis are all expected at this event at
the White House today. The administration expected to propose some
standards that are a little less stringent than those under
former President Biden.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Okay, and then finally, American Eagle is soaring, Yes, but
they have grabbed the spotlight with a lot of their
flashy advertising and celebrity campaigns.
Speaker 12 (29:52):
We've got Martha Stewart, who just signed on Travis Kelce,
did a campaign recently. There was a controversial one featuring
Sydney Sweet that generated a lot of backlash, but that
seemed to be working too. The retailer raised its financial
forecast for the year. American Eagle has also recently revamped
a lot of its product offering, so they're doing well.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I love that Martha Stewart making Jean's cool again at Eric's.
Always a pleasure with Bloomberg getting in your business as
we do every day. Looking forward to talking to you
again soon. Yes, have a good baby, all right, you too.
Investigators say the shooter who killed a doctor and his
wife at their home in Semi Valley was the doctor's
son and the woman's step son. Doctor Eric Cortis and
(30:33):
his wife, Vicki, were killed Sunday in their driveway. Thirty
seven year old Keith Courtis, who lived in Kentucky, was
later found dead in a burned out car, and Chino
police say he shot and killed himself. Two men who
were at the two year old's birthday party where four
people were shot and killed and Stockton have been taken
into custody. The two men in their twenties are accused
of violating their paroles. Authority say neither is the shooter.
(30:57):
Police say a rapper may have been the target in
the deadly shooting. Someone could become a near billionaire tonight.
The jackpot for the Powerball drawing is up to seven
hundred and seventy five million dollars. There's been no jackpot
winner for the last fifty one drawings. I think it's
about time I've got my ticket.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Do you.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
We're just minutes away from a handle on the news
this morning, San Francisco's jumping on the Maha bandwagon and
suing over ultra processed foods. Let's say good morning now
to Major Andrew Donlin of the United States Space Force,
who's working at Space Systems Command right here in El Segundo.
And in case you didn't know there was a Space
(31:37):
Command in El Segundo, that's the home base for Major Donlin,
who's getting ready to head to Florida to compete in
this year's third annual Guardian Arena Finals. That sounds exciting.
Good morning, Major Donalin.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Good morning Amy, thanks so much for having me, Thanks
for coming on.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I know you're getting ready to head down to Florida.
So tell us what are the Guardian Arena Finals and
who participate?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yeah, So the Guardian Arena Finals. As you mentioned, this
is the third annual event across the Space Force, and
it's a competition designed to test us as guardians, that's
what we're called in the Space Force, our abilities and skills,
not only physically, but academically and mentally as well.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
So it's a.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Combination of physical challenges as well as academic and focused
on the mission. And so there's teams from thirty five
different units across the country. Earlier around the world. They're
going to be coming to Florida. We had a regional
competition a couple months ago, so we had a competition
among the units at Space Systems Command, and three of
(32:46):
us now will be going to represent Space Systems Command
down in Florida next week.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Okay, so there was a regional competition. I mean that
means you're already a winner.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Right, I guess.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
So it was a stiff competition, but yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
So major Donald tell us because it's not only braun
but brains. And I love that aspect of it because
you know, it's not just going out and competing physically
but mentally, so like, what are some of the challenges
that you have to do? And again then what's the
purpose of having you guys compete in these challenges?
Speaker 7 (33:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:23):
I like the term you use, brains and bron I
think we're a unique service in the Space Force. You know,
as you mentioned earlier, not a lot of people even
knew that we had a base here in El Segundo,
but not many folks around the country or the world
know that we have a space Force. It's a relatively
new force. But a huge part of it is, you know,
we're very different than the Army and the Navy, even
the Air Force. You know, so much of what we
(33:44):
do is done, you know, kind of behind closed doors
and done to keep our country safe up in the
space domain. And so with that, with the competition, a
lot of it is is academic and knowing about our
space systems that we utilize, what types of things we
would use in different scenarios, learning about cybersecurity, you know,
(34:07):
space systems, intelligence, all those things come together as part
of our mission.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Okay, so this competition.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Oh, I was just going to say, it sounds like
you're taking tests.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Yes, yeah, so it's tests, but done as a team
in the midst of physical competitions as well.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Oh okay, so combining it. I love that. And then
what's at stake, Major Donlin? Is it just bragging rights
ors or something else?
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Yeah? Mostly just bragging rights for us. That's enough in
our world.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
I love it. I love it. Okay. So we have
our friend Colonel mckhaigu, who we got to know before
and during and after his trip to the International Space
Station because he was on loan from the Space Force.
So what are your goals with being a member of
Space Force?
Speaker 4 (34:53):
You know?
Speaker 3 (34:54):
So I started in the Air Force and switched over
to the Space Force when it stood up about five
years ago. And my goal then and continues now is
just to contribute to something bigger than myself. It was
an exciting opportunity to be a part of a new service,
something that hasn't happened since the stand up of the
Air Force. And I really do believe in the mission
that we're doing. You know, space impacts everything we do
(35:17):
on a day to day basis. You know, from GPS
to ATM machines to almost half of our infrastructure in
the US is relying on space, and so protecting that
and protecting our way life is something that's that's really
important to me, and I feel grateful to get to
contribute to that on a day to day basis, just
going to work every day.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Okay, so you're helping it not only keep us safe,
but also keep us connected, such important stuff. Major Donland,
thank you so much for coming on. I hope you'll
let us know how you do with the competition. Is
next week or over the weekend, yes.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Man, Monday and Tuesday next week.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Okay, so we're expecting to hear big things and we
want you to come back with the trophy or whatever award.
Do you get a trophy?
Speaker 4 (36:00):
I think so, I'll think so, all right.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Representing Southern California, it's Major Andrew Donlin of the US
Space Force at Space Systems Command in elsagun No. Best
of luck, Thank you very much, you're good day.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
How fun and I love that they do that for
bragging rights. There's always great competition between the different military branches,
so it's fun to see that there's competition within as well.
California lawmakers says there's too much red tape for people
trying to rebuild from the eaton and Palisades Fires.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Assembly Member John Harabedian is from the Altadena area, and
he says people can't rebuild because government is just getting
in the way.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
You know, we don't make things simple. I just think
you haven't seen a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
He went on to say that egos may be getting
in the way as well.
Speaker 5 (36:46):
I think a lot more could get done, a lot quicker,
if less people worried about who was getting credit.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
So far, less than three hundred rebuilding permits have been
issued for the Burnscar out of about eighteen hundred applicants
in the Alta Dina area. Jason Campadonia KFI News.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
A man who allegedly stabbed a man in the Westlake
district has been shot by police. Police say an LAPD
detective saw the stabbing happening near Olympic Boulevard and Alvarado
Street yesterday and then the stabber was shot by the
police officer. Both he and the man stabbed were taken
to the hospital. Amazon is testing half hour or faster
(37:22):
deliveries for household essentials and fresh groceries. ABC's Rebecca Jarvis
says it should appeal to people who can't get their
purchases fast enough.
Speaker 10 (37:30):
Amazon is testing this new program in Seattle and Philadelphia
where customers get their deliveries.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
In about thirty minutes or less. It's called Amazon Now,
and it involves everyday household items crazy. She says, Amazon
wants to stay competitive with other services like Uber Eats
an instacart, which offers similar services. I'm just amazed when
they can get it to you in the same day
so that they can do it in thirty minutes. Are
you kidding me? The can'tfi pastathon raised nine hundred and
(37:57):
fifty five four hundred eighty dollars ninety four hundred and
six pounds of pasta and sauce. So far.
Speaker 13 (38:04):

fifteen years and it's amazing. Listeners say.
Speaker 13 (38:21):
Pastathon puts the fun in fundraising, and many people even
stayed all day to show their support, while others did
it dry by and drop off of donations.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
I think that is a noble calls.

Here's what's ahead on Wake Up Call. LA County supervisors
have given preliminary approval as expected to an ordinance that
(02:30):
would ban law enforcement officers from wearing masks on the
job and would require them to provide id when conducting
immigration enforcement. Supervisor Catherine Barger abstained from the vote, saying
the measure couldn't be enforced and that it was symbolic
rather than effective. A man from Koreatown's been charged with
throwing molotov cocktails at security officers inside a federal building
(02:54):
in downtown La. Billy say they believe the attack was
motivated by opposition to the Trump administration's cracked out on
illegal immigration. He's scheduled to be in court today, and
a Waymo driverless cab has driven right through the scene
of a police standoff in La The Robotaxi was caught
on video making a left turn onto a street early
Sunday near the Federal courthouse downtown where a pickup had
(03:16):
been pulled over and was sitting next to several police
cruisers that had their lights flashing. The way. Most slowly
passed by didn't hit the suspect, who was lying on
the ground next to the pickup. A way Most spokesperson says,
the vehicle cleared the scene and the passengers reached their
destination safely. Wow, it's and it's on video. If you
(03:36):
want to just google it, you can see. It's kind
of funny. I'm funny that nobody got hurt. You know,
you know what I mean. Okay, Rich Demiro is going
to join us a little bit later. He's going to
help us save money with his favorite go to website
to find the best promo codes as you're out doing
your holiday shopping. Very important. Luigi Mangioni is going to
(03:58):
be in court again today. It's still pre trial and
some pretty interesting stuff is coming up even though the
trial hasn't even started. ABC's Peter Harralambus is going to
join us to tell us about that. We have Major
Andrew Donlin of the US Space Force. He works at
Space Command in El Segundo, and he's going to join us.
(04:19):
They're doing this competition and we're going to find out
what they're doing and what they're competing for. Love the
Space Force, Love the Space Force, and Amy's on it.
What am I on this week? Well, I am on something.
That producer and said you got to watch this show,
and she was right, She's right. It's all her fault
that I loved it. That's coming up at the bottom
(04:41):
of the hour. Let's get started with some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news
from the La City Council has delayed a plan to
waive permit fees for people rebuilding in the Pacific Palisades.
Joel Federico lives there. He says the assistance is needed
as the cost of putting the neighborhood back together, as.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
High fees are on the scale of grading and backfilling
for us, on the scale of our plants, on the
scale of our driveways and our walkways, and I'm here
to ask for your support.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
The city Council decided to send the issue back to
a committee for further review. Members express concern about the
cost and whether enough building types in the Palisades would
be covered. The cost of waving permit feest has been
estimated at between eighty six million and two hundred and
seventy eight million dollars. LA Mayor bass is encouraging people
in LA to sign up for medical before the start
(05:35):
of the new year. She says starting in January, people
nineteen and up without so called statisfactory immigration status won't
be eligible to enroll for full benefits. Bassa's healthcare costs
are one of the major causes of people falling into homelessness.
Mor San Ana Win's expected to blow through southern California today,
pushing temperatures slightly higher and prompting warnings about possible downed
(05:57):
trees and power outages. Forecasters say gusts of fifty five
to sixty miles per hour expected in the mountains, forty
five miles per hour expected along the coast and in
the Santa Clarita and San Fernando Valleys. It's five oh
seven on your wake up call this Wednesday morning. Time
to say good morning to ABC's Peter Haralambus. Glad to
talk to you again today. Luigi Mangioni is expected to
(06:20):
be in court for a third day of pre trial hearings.
But what happened in day two?
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Yeah, Day two, Luigi Mangoni, for the first time in
the year, came face to face with the police officer
who arrested him last year in Altoona, Pennsylvania. This police
officer recollecting in detail approaching Mangioni. He told the court
that as soon as he saw Mangioni pull down his mask,
he knew immediately that that was the man who was
(06:48):
suspected of shooting United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. He went
on to kind of question him for about twenty minutes
before they actually began the procedure of arresting him. Those
twenty minutes really the central question that defence lawyers are
trying to hone in on. They say that not reading
him his rights for that long violated his Fourth Amendment rights,
(07:09):
and for that reason anything he said to police. For example,
he told police he was homeless, he told police that
he was a different person, he gave him a fake ID.
All of that, they say should be thrown out. The
hearing is set to resume on Thursday morning. We're off
today where we're expecting to hear from a few more witnesses.
At this point, we're not even halfway through this marathon hearing.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Okay, and the officer, there's there's so many details in this,
but the officer had said, as I understand it, and
tell tell me if I'm wrong, Peter, that he was
fearful because he was afraid that Mangiono mun have a gun,
might attack or something like that, and that's why he
got into the backpack. When the defense is saying, you
(07:52):
shouldn't have been in that backpack because you didn't.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Have a warrant, that's exactly right. This officer basically he
told the court that ahead of this arrest, he had
been pretty incessantly watching Fox News, which was covering this
assassination extensively. So he basically told the cord in detail
that he had seen the photos of the suspected shooter,
he had seen the video of Mangioni allegedly walking up
(08:18):
to Brian Thompson shooting him in the back, and that
when he connected the two together, that the person sitting
in the back of the McDonald's was in fact the
United Healthcare shooter. He believed that this person could be
armed and dangerous. He believed that he and his partner
were potentially in danger and tried to de escalate the situation. So, basically,
(08:39):
in de escalating the situation, the two the officer in
Mangoni basically just started lying to each other. So Mangioni
said that he was a completely different person. He claimed
that he was homeless. The officer also claimed that the
reason he was stopping Manchioni was because the McDonald's of
employees thought he was loitering. He said that they get
a ton of calls about people, you know, staying too
(09:01):
long in the McDonald's, and that's the reason, and it's
no big deal and that hopefully it should be settled
out real quick, while in reality he was stalling. He
said that more officers could show up eventually. The arrest
only took place after about a dozen officers were surrounding
Manngioni to prevent any kind of issue from taking place.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Okay, and then it is it unusual, Peter, that we're
hearing so much about what about what the prosecution knows
and that kind of stuff before the trial even starts.
I mean, it feels like the trial's underway, but this
is all pre trial stuff.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Yeah, that's exactly right. It is deeply unusual, and if anything,
it's kinnter productive to defense attorneys. They're the ones who
wanted this, and they're very concerned about pre trial publicity.
They didn't want this hearing to become a fiasco. They
didn't want to become what they called the mini trial.
But that's exactly what they're getting here. You usually don't
get this amount of information. You don't get to see
the evidence itself before the trial takes place, but we're
(09:59):
getting all of it laid out in detail. The judge
yesterday granted a defense request to steal all these exhibits,
meaning that with the exception of them being played in court,
we're not actually going to see them released until at
least the trial. If they're admitting into evidence. But even so,
all of this pre trial publicity is not something Manngioti's
attorneys want because in a way, it could prejudice him
(10:23):
when they actually get to jury selection. This is a
case that is being extensively followed in New York and
the New York local news, and the jury pool is
going to be comprised of those New Yorkers. So having
Manjoni all in the news, having all these actions covered extensively,
you know, could buy it's a future juror and make
it harder for him to get a fair trial.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Okay, ABC's Peter hi Alamos, thank you so much for
the info. So we're off today and then more pre
trial tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Yep, tomorrow, we're back, and then Friday as well. It
could even roll to it next week.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Okay, thank you so much, Peter. We'll talk to you
again soon.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Ax.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Great, let's get back to some of the stories coming
out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The Afghan
man accused of shooting two National Guard members in Washington,
d C. Killing one of them, has pleaded not guilty.
He's charged with murder, assault with the intent to kill,
and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence.
He appeared before a judge remotely yesterday from his hospital bed.
(11:18):
He's still recovering from gunshot injuries. He was shot by
another National Guard member during the attack. Last week. Officials
at the University of Delaware say a student has been
caught with weapons and a notebook that had detailed drawings
of the campus police department. Police say the notebook mentioned
a member of the university police department by name and
included a drawing of the building's entry and exits. The
(11:41):
student was arrested last week and has been banned from
all University of Delaware campuses while the investigation is underway.
Russia's top federal policy official calls talks with the US
on ending the war with Ukraine useful, but says there's
more to be done. US Special Envoy Steve Whitkoff met
with Russia's President Putin in Moscow yes day, but former
(12:01):
US Ambassador to Ukraine, Steve pi versays the Russians and
Ukrainians are still far apart.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
These five hours of talks in Moscow, did they produce
any real change, any indication that the Russians are prepared
to begin to compromise on some of their demands. I'm
dubious because I don't think Putin yet believes that he
has to negotiate in a serious way.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Wikoff and others met with a Ukrainian delegation in Florida
on Sunday. Israel says partial remains returned by Hamas militants
this week did not match either of the two hostages
remaining in Gaza. One was an Israeli police officer, the
other was an agricultural worker from Thailand. The missing remains
threatened to stall the first phase of the ceasefire between
(12:44):
Israel and Hamas. Still, Israel says it will start allowing
Palestinians to leave Gaza through a reopened border crossing in Rafa.
President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth have defended
the strike against an alleged Venezuelan drug boat that has
law Baker's demanding answers. At a cabinet meeting at the
White House, both were asked about a Washington Post report
(13:05):
that Hegseth ordered that no one on the boat be
left alive. Heigsath says he backs his general's decision for
the second strike on the boat and says it was
a justified attack. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says he
wants the full video released of the strike on the
boat in September, in which two survivors were allegedly killed.
Schumer also says President Trump's threat of possible land strikes
(13:28):
in Venezuela would need approval from Congress.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
If Trump were to order an attack on land, that
would be an act of war, and Congress would invoke
the War Powers Act.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
It's Congress's prerogative, he says. He hopes Republicans will defend
Congress's role. A strong nor'easter is blowing through the Midwest
and Northeast, bringing heavy snow and icy roads to the region.
Millions are under some sort of weather alert through at
least today. States like Ohio, West Virginia, and parts of
Pennsylvania could see more than an inch of snowfall per hour.
Northeast states could get up to six inches or more.

Coastal cities are going to get mostly rain. Record cold
temperatures may also be felt in Iowa and Nebraska by tomorrow.
A memorial service for the beloved K nine shot and

the Frog dressed as Charlie Chaplin, has stood a top
tower at the front gate of Jim Henson Studios in
Hollywood for years. It's headed to Flora, though the landmark
has been donated to the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta,
which is home to the largest collection of Henson artifacts
(15:07):
in the world. Not clear when the statch is going
to be moved. At six so five, it's handle on
the news. The Trump administration is threatening to pull snap
funding Okay, I am in the wrong section of the
I'm like, it's not time for Amy's on it yet,
It's time for Rich DeMuro. Okay, sorry about that little
(15:27):
brain fart. Rich de Muro, good morning, the host of
Rich on Tech. I got sidetracked by all the fun
talk about Pastathon and Wendy's chili, which is duh delicious.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Okay, that's been a bit. I did have Wendy's nugets
the other day and they were good.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I love Wendy's. Okay, So for the holiday shopping season,
we want to know. We've been teasing it all morning.
What is your go to to find the best promo
code so you can save some cash shopping online?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Okay, there is only one way website that I go to.
I know there's a million out there, and you can
spend eight hundred hours on Google searching promo codes for
whatever website. You're never going to find them. This is
the website that has it. Every single time. If there
is a code for a site, this will have it.
I don't know why, it just does. It is called
you ready for this, yep? Simply Coodes dot com. You
(16:21):
don't even have to sign up. You don't have to
do anything special. Just go to that website, tap the
magnifying like the search glass in the upper right hand corner,
and just type in the name of the company that
you're shopping at or the website, and if there is
a code, it will be on simply codes, and you
can try to prove me wrong. But I will tell
you I've tested all the different websites out there. This
(16:44):
one works every single time. And if you don't, like
I've had people email me like, Rich, I didn't find
a code for a site, and I was like, well,
does that site have a code somewhere else, because it
probably doesn't.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Got it? Okay, So the one that I have that's
kind of built into my phone right now is the
Capital One. Have you?
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Is that decent or this one's just way better?
Speaker 4 (17:07):
So that's funny you say that because the Capital One
they bought a company and I'm trying to remember what
that company was That used to be my favorite, but
now that it's owned by a giant credit card company,
of course I'm not a fan of it. So but yes,
that one, I'm trying to remember what the name of
that they bought, like a startup that was my favorite
code company, and so I think that that one is
(17:29):
pretty good. I just haven't used it in a while.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Okay, so simplycodes dot com, all right? And also you
have some shopping secrets, and we all love secrets, so
spill the tea.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Yeah, so I did an entire newsletter. You can find
it at richontech dot tv. It's my ultimate holiday shopping
cheat sheet. I'm not kidding. I did not hold back.
I put every single tip that I have about holiday
shopping in this newsletter so that you can benefit, including
all the little lists they have on Amazon, the ways
to check prices on Amazon. You've heard us talk about
Camel Camel Camel. That's a good one. But Amazon also
(18:05):
has their new rufus Ai which is very good at
finding price history and also setting price alerts. Keep a
k eepa. You can add that extension to your Google
Chrome or your other browser that supports extensions, and when
you go to any Amazon page, it will have a nice,
clear price history chart for every single product that you visit.
(18:27):
So that's a good one. Let's see what else do
I have here? Shop Back, which I partner with on
my show, which I love. Basically, you go to shopback
dot Com. You click a link, they will give you
a percent back on your purchases and they work with Amazon.
By the way, if you're looking for Apple prices like
Apple Gear, you know Apple typically does not discount their
own products, but third parties do so if you go
(18:48):
to the MacRumors Buyer's Guide or Apple Insider's price guides,
whatever product you're looking for. Like, let's just say I'm
looking for a new iPad mini. I don't know why
i'd be looking for that, but let's say I am.
I can tell here if you go to their website
the best prices just by clicking on iPad mini, and
it will tell you all the different places it's selling
(19:10):
for and how much and the discount and how much
it typically. It's it's really really good.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
And is it pretty easy? Because it's to me, I
want ease and I kind of have add when it
comes to like just sitting and surfing around. I just
want to get it done.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
This is easy, and I can tell you just looking
at that iPad mini. It gives me a list of
all the you know, that's the thing. You want to
use a big retailer like an Amazon, a BNH, A
Best buy and it tells you the discount at each
of those places. Right now. iPad Mini sadly is only
getting like a ten dollars discount, so don't buy that
right now.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Okay. Kfi's Tech I Rich DeMuro. You can hear them
live right here on KFI every Saturday from eleven to two.
The show is called Rich on Tech. You can watch
them on KTLA, follow him on Instagram at rich on
Tech is website rich on tech dot tv. And of
course you got to get your hands on that newsletter
so you can find out all of Rich's shopping secrets
and you can do you get that on your website too.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Yeah, rich on Tech dot Tv. There's so many I'm
just scrolling through here and there's just so many a
way to get discounted gift cards. Oh my gosh, I'm like,
these are all the things I wait to Oh my gosh,
I have a great one that will activate all those
digital coupons at the grocery store. I mean, there's just
so much here. You got to check it out. Oh.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I got to do that because I hate when I
missed the digital coupons at the store. Rich on Tech

It's rich Jimiro, thanks so much.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Rich, all right, Amy, Bye bye, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
The Trump administration says California and other Democrat controlled states
risk losing SNAP funding unless they provide information about who's
getting the assistance. Agriculture Secretary Brick Rowlins's rampant fraud has
already been found in data from states that have turned
over the information. We've found one hundred and.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Eighty six thousand dead people who dead, people's social Security
numbers being used.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Five hundred thousand people receiving benefits more than twice.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
The states have been given into next week to turn
over the data, including people's names and immigration status. About
five million people in California rely on SNAP benefits. La
County has given preliminary approval to a ban on masks
covering the faces of law enforcements.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
The band would apply to all police, local, state, and
federal and unincorporated areas of the county. Supervisor Jennis Hans
says it's needed because of masked immigration agents, and she
expects a legal challenge from the White House.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
Yes, this is going to be argued in court. Yes,
we will have a judge ultimately decide the legality of
what we're asking on.
Speaker 8 (21:34):
Says people should know the identities of those claiming to
be police and taking them into custody. A second and
final vote is scheduled for next week. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Two men have been found shot to death at the
Los Angeles Glendale Water Reclamation plant in Atwater Village. Police
were called to the site yesterday morning and found the men.
The La Times says it was an apparent murder suicide
La Mayor Bass as both men were city sanitation workers.
One person has been killed and three others were hurt
in a seven car crash in Huntington Beach.
Speaker 10 (22:05):
Sure happened at the intersection of Golden West and Hile
yesterday afternoon. Witness essay of said an was traveling at
over one hundred miles an hour when it clipped another
vehicle in the intersection. A speeding car went airborne and
hit several other vehicles before landing on its roof. A
driver of this speeding car was declared dead at the scene.
Three other victims were taken to a hospital and are
expected to survive. Two of the victims were Orange County
(22:27):
Probation Department officers. Mark Mayfield Kofi News.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Okay. We know there are bad drivers in every state,
but there's a new list out offering the ranking of
the best and worst states for drivers.
Speaker 11 (22:38):
The worst drivers in America can be found on the
roads of North Dakota. That's according to a new lending
Tree report that shows the apptly named rough rider state
with sixty four incidents per one thousand drivers. New Jersey
came in second worst, followed by Utah Road Island in Washington.
California was ninth worst. The report looks at accidents, DUIs, speeding,
and other driving violations to determine the rankings. Michigan was
(22:59):
ranked best with just twenty one incidents per one thousand drivers.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Mark Ronner.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Kayfi News.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
That's not funny abrupt, Okay. One of two physicians charged
in Friends Star Matthew Perry's death is expected to be
sentenced today in downtown LA. He pleaded guilty to federal
charges of providing ketamine to Perry. Salvador Placentia bases up
to forty years in prison, but his plea deal will
most likely mean he'll get a shorter sentence. November was
(23:28):
the wettest in downtown LA in nearly sixty years and
the fifth wettest on record. Forecaster say five point five
to three inches of rain fell in downtown. It's the
most rain recorded since nineteen sixty seven. Records for downtown
La Day back to eighteen seventy seven the National Weather Services.
In a normal year, Downtown gets point seven eight inches
(23:49):
of rain. In November, a federal judge in la Is
again ruled for share in her lawsuit. They claimed Sonny
Bono's widow owes her a million dollars in royalties for
Sunny and Share songs. In the ruling, the judge said
Mary Bono could not use the Federal Copyright Act to
reclaim a fifty percent share of Sonny's royalties for songs
(24:09):
like I Got You Babe and the beat goes on
at six oh five its handle on the news. The
Trump administration is threatening to pull snap funding from Red states.
So I'll tell you all about that. Wait, my sounders,
So you.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Want me to sing it? Yep? What Amy's on it?
Speaker 7 (24:30):
Wait?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Hold on, that didn't work, Okay, Amy's on it it? Okay, okay,
So what am I on? I'm on the stream and
there's a lot out there right now and so it's
kind of getting backed up. But producer Anne and I
were talking and she said, have you seen this yet?
You got to watch this. You got to watch this,
And so I listened to Anne. That made her smile,
(24:55):
and so I did, and we found all her fault
on Peacock, all her fault. What is it? It's eight seasons.
The whole season is out. It stars Sarah Snook. You'll
remember her from Succession Love Her. She plays a woman
named Marisa, and Jake late Lacy, who you might recognize
from White Lotus is Marisa's husband. Peter Dakota Fanning is
(25:19):
in it. She's the mom of one of the playmates
of the boy who disappears. So the show starts with
mom Maris's starting looking for her son. She goes to
pick him up from a playdate and she gets to
the house and she goes, I'm here to pick up Milo,
who is her son, And the woman looks at her
and is like, I don't know what you're talking about.
(25:41):
I don't have your son, I don't know who Milo is,
and I mean it's a mom's worst nightmare, right, worst nightmare.
And as the hours pass, the realization that her son
has been taken becomes very real, but who took him?
And so that begins this tortuous journey of trying to
figure out who took little Milo, why they took him,
(26:03):
and then of course they're desperate search to get him back.
There's several twists and turns, leads that run dry, distractions
that turn out to be nothing, assumptions that don't pan out,
and the strains that are put on the relationship when
something like this happens are palpable, and I think that
the actors do a great job of portraying that. It's
riveting from the get go. Sarah Snook is a great
(26:26):
tortured mom. I mean, she plays her emotions right on
her sleeve. As an actor, it would have had to
be so hard to do what she did because she's
always just screaming and crying and miserable because I mean,
her son has been taken. The whole cast is great,
and you really don't know pretty much for the entirety
of the show, who to trust, who to believe, who
to be suspect of. It's dark and it's tragic and
(26:48):
it's just darn good. I'm on it. I think you
should be too, and I'm on it because it's all
Anne's fault anyway. It's called all her fault on Peacock.
Highly highly recommend it all right. Time to get in
your business with Knaplomberg's Denise Pelgriny, We get Monica Rickx Today,
former KFI News reporter, Morning Monica, Good morning Amy. I
(27:09):
love joining you. I love it when you join us.
So let's get right into it. Macy's, which has had
a tough go of it, recently, says they're kind of optimistic. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (27:20):
Masey's just raised his financial guidance for the year after
posting us their prior third quarter profit.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
It's probably its strongest comparable.
Speaker 12 (27:26):
Sales in more than three years, the department store chain
posting a solid three point two percent increase for the
quarter that includes licensed businesses like cosmetics, which is important
because comparable sales usually are a good barometer of a
retailer's health. And Yeah, Macy's has been going through it,
but it did get a big boost from so called
cyber Week, that's the five day period from Thanksgiving to
Cyber Monday, which brought in a total of forty four
(27:48):
point two billion dollars online overall.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Huge. Yeah, Okay, And in spite of all this spending,
the economy's kind of tight, so this one makes sense.
Dollar Tree profits are.
Speaker 12 (27:58):
Up, Yeah, they are better than expected profits as well,
same store sales of four point two percent. They just
raise their full year earnings outlook as well. And because
shoppers are stretched so thin, dollar Tree is a good option.
Eighty five percent of its products costs two bucks or less.
It's really resonating with people because consumers have to prioritize
essentials now and they're purchasing fewer discretionary items.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
So this one definitely makes sense. Okay, Now we're going
to turn to cars. There's a couple of stories about cars,
and one of them is that automakers are getting in
the insurance business. What's that about.
Speaker 12 (28:28):
Yes, there's a lot of data on how vehicles are
being driven these days, so car companies are really jumping
in on this and creating their own insurance products. Tesla's
now offering its own insurance in several states, including California,
and it just added three more Colorado, Oregon, and Virginia.
General Motors leveraging information taking through its on Star service
and Volvo, Honda, Toyota, BMW Stilantis. They're all offering self
(28:51):
branded insurance offerings, so more choices are great for consumers.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Okay, In so far, Monica, does it appear that the
car maker insurance is better, worser, about the same as
the other insurance that we already have.
Speaker 12 (29:04):
I think you'd really have to shop around because it
depends on what state you're in. I'll obviously California drivers
pay a little bit more, So it just depends on
what you're driving, and you.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Just got to shop around. But at least there are
more options. I love options. Okay. President Trump is expected
to make an announcement today about cars.
Speaker 12 (29:21):
Yeah, details are still unclear here, but President Trump is
expected to announce new fuel efficiency standards for cars today.
Sources telling Bloomberg that executives from Ford, General Motors, and
Chrysler maker Stilantis are all expected at this event at
the White House today. The administration expected to propose some
standards that are a little less stringent than those under
former President Biden.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Okay, and then finally, American Eagle is soaring, Yes, but
they have grabbed the spotlight with a lot of their
flashy advertising and celebrity campaigns.
Speaker 12 (29:52):
We've got Martha Stewart, who just signed on Travis Kelce,
did a campaign recently. There was a controversial one featuring
Sydney Sweet that generated a lot of backlash, but that
seemed to be working too. The retailer raised its financial
forecast for the year. American Eagle has also recently revamped
a lot of its product offering, so they're doing well.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I love that Martha Stewart making Jean's cool again at Eric's.
Always a pleasure with Bloomberg getting in your business as
we do every day. Looking forward to talking to you
again soon. Yes, have a good baby, all right, you too.
Investigators say the shooter who killed a doctor and his
wife at their home in Semi Valley was the doctor's
son and the woman's step son. Doctor Eric Cortis and
(30:33):
his wife, Vicki, were killed Sunday in their driveway. Thirty
seven year old Keith Courtis, who lived in Kentucky, was
later found dead in a burned out car, and Chino
police say he shot and killed himself. Two men who
were at the two year old's birthday party where four
people were shot and killed and Stockton have been taken
into custody. The two men in their twenties are accused
of violating their paroles. Authority say neither is the shooter.
(30:57):
Police say a rapper may have been the target in
the deadly shooting. Someone could become a near billionaire tonight.
The jackpot for the Powerball drawing is up to seven
hundred and seventy five million dollars. There's been no jackpot
winner for the last fifty one drawings. I think it's
about time I've got my ticket.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Do you.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
We're just minutes away from a handle on the news
this morning, San Francisco's jumping on the Maha bandwagon and
suing over ultra processed foods. Let's say good morning now
to Major Andrew Donlin of the United States Space Force,
who's working at Space Systems Command right here in El Segundo.
And in case you didn't know there was a Space
(31:37):
Command in El Segundo, that's the home base for Major Donlin,
who's getting ready to head to Florida to compete in
this year's third annual Guardian Arena Finals. That sounds exciting.
Good morning, Major Donalin.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Good morning Amy, thanks so much for having me, Thanks
for coming on.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I know you're getting ready to head down to Florida.
So tell us what are the Guardian Arena Finals and
who participate?
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Yeah, So the Guardian Arena Finals. As you mentioned, this
is the third annual event across the Space Force, and
it's a competition designed to test us as guardians, that's
what we're called in the Space Force, our abilities and skills,
not only physically, but academically and mentally as well.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
So it's a.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Combination of physical challenges as well as academic and focused
on the mission. And so there's teams from thirty five
different units across the country. Earlier around the world. They're
going to be coming to Florida. We had a regional
competition a couple months ago, so we had a competition
among the units at Space Systems Command, and three of
(32:46):
us now will be going to represent Space Systems Command
down in Florida next week.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Okay, so there was a regional competition. I mean that
means you're already a winner.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Right, I guess.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
So it was a stiff competition, but yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
So major Donald tell us because it's not only braun
but brains. And I love that aspect of it because
you know, it's not just going out and competing physically
but mentally, so like, what are some of the challenges
that you have to do? And again then what's the
purpose of having you guys compete in these challenges?
Speaker 7 (33:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:23):
I like the term you use, brains and bron I
think we're a unique service in the Space Force. You know,
as you mentioned earlier, not a lot of people even
knew that we had a base here in El Segundo,
but not many folks around the country or the world
know that we have a space Force. It's a relatively
new force. But a huge part of it is, you know,
we're very different than the Army and the Navy, even
the Air Force. You know, so much of what we
(33:44):
do is done, you know, kind of behind closed doors
and done to keep our country safe up in the
space domain. And so with that, with the competition, a
lot of it is is academic and knowing about our
space systems that we utilize, what types of things we
would use in different scenarios, learning about cybersecurity, you know,
(34:07):
space systems, intelligence, all those things come together as part
of our mission.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Okay, so this competition.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Oh, I was just going to say, it sounds like
you're taking tests.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Yes, yeah, so it's tests, but done as a team
in the midst of physical competitions as well.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Oh okay, so combining it. I love that. And then
what's at stake, Major Donlin? Is it just bragging rights
ors or something else?
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Yeah? Mostly just bragging rights for us. That's enough in
our world.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
I love it. I love it. Okay. So we have
our friend Colonel mckhaigu, who we got to know before
and during and after his trip to the International Space
Station because he was on loan from the Space Force.
So what are your goals with being a member of
Space Force?
Speaker 4 (34:53):
You know?
Speaker 3 (34:54):
So I started in the Air Force and switched over
to the Space Force when it stood up about five
years ago. And my goal then and continues now is
just to contribute to something bigger than myself. It was
an exciting opportunity to be a part of a new service,
something that hasn't happened since the stand up of the
Air Force. And I really do believe in the mission
that we're doing. You know, space impacts everything we do
(35:17):
on a day to day basis. You know, from GPS
to ATM machines to almost half of our infrastructure in
the US is relying on space, and so protecting that
and protecting our way life is something that's that's really
important to me, and I feel grateful to get to
contribute to that on a day to day basis, just
going to work every day.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Okay, so you're helping it not only keep us safe,
but also keep us connected, such important stuff. Major Donland,
thank you so much for coming on. I hope you'll
let us know how you do with the competition. Is
next week or over the weekend, yes.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Man, Monday and Tuesday next week.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Okay, so we're expecting to hear big things and we
want you to come back with the trophy or whatever award.
Do you get a trophy?
Speaker 4 (36:00):
I think so, I'll think so, all right.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Representing Southern California, it's Major Andrew Donlin of the US
Space Force at Space Systems Command in elsagun No. Best
of luck, Thank you very much, you're good day.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
How fun and I love that they do that for
bragging rights. There's always great competition between the different military branches,
so it's fun to see that there's competition within as well.
California lawmakers says there's too much red tape for people
trying to rebuild from the eaton and Palisades Fires.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
Assembly Member John Harabedian is from the Altadena area, and
he says people can't rebuild because government is just getting
in the way.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
You know, we don't make things simple. I just think
you haven't seen a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
He went on to say that egos may be getting
in the way as well.
Speaker 5 (36:46):
I think a lot more could get done, a lot quicker,
if less people worried about who was getting credit.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
So far, less than three hundred rebuilding permits have been
issued for the Burnscar out of about eighteen hundred applicants
in the Alta Dina area. Jason Campadonia KFI News.

A man who allegedly stabbed a man in the Westlake
district has been shot by police. Police say an LAPD
detective saw the stabbing happening near Olympic Boulevard and Alvarado
Street yesterday and then the stabber was shot by the
police officer. Both he and the man stabbed were taken
to the hospital. Amazon is testing half hour or faster
