team in MLB history. Wow, I'm saying one's sixty two
and oh baby, can.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
It be done? That'd be fun. That's funny.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Our Eagles have names. They were announced yesterday Sonny and Gizmo.
So the bigger eaglet is Sonny, the little guy is Gizmo.
Of course, we named him Rocky here on wake Up
Call because we think he's a fighter and he's doing
so good, so I might still call him Rocky.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
But elementary school kids named him. They had the final choice.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
I hear they even named the one that didn't make it,
that was done before.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, they named that one Misty in honor of somebody
who used to be affiliated with friends of Big Bear
Valley who passed away. So that was Misty. But the
two remaining who are doing very well and covered up
by Mom right now as much as she can. Sonny
and Gizmo, here's what's ahead on wake up Call. Almost
three months after the massive and destructive wildfires towards through
(02:00):
Alta Dina, the La County Medical Examiner's offices, human remains
have been found. They were discovered yesterday afternoon in the
nine hundred block of Boston Street. FEMA has extended the
deadline until April fifteenth for homeowners in Pacific Palisades and
Alta Dina to sign up to have their property cleaned
up by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The service
is offered it no charge to homeowners, but if they
(02:22):
opt out, they're going to have to pay their own
contractors to do the work. You can get the form
at Recovery dot La County dot gov. Stock market futures
have dropped like a rock following President Trump's tariff announcement,
with investors fearing a global trade war, futures were down
almost twelve hundred actually now it's over twelve hundred feet
(02:42):
points ahead of the opening bell. We're going to dig
a little deeper into that when we get in your
Business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho at five point forty and
in about three minutes, ABC's Karen travers, it's going to
help us break down the tariffs and when we might
start feeling the pinch. High profile break ins at athletes'
homes are escalating with been hearing about him a lot.
ABC's Crime and Terrorism analyst Brad Garrett is going to
(03:04):
tell us more about that. The Wiggle Waggle Walks just
four days away, we're going to be talking to Pasadena
humans Kevin McManus about what the money you donate does
to help save the lives of thousands of animals. They
do such great work. And Amy's on it. We're doing
a special Thursday edition. I'm taking up residence with a
new show on Netflix. Let's get started with some of
(03:25):
the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Nearly a dozen people in LA's Westlake neighborhood had to
leave their homes in the middle of the night because
of a fire that destroyed a three story apartment building
that was under construction. The fire late last night spread
to a vacant home and some sheds. This guy lives nearby,
says he woke up because of the fire.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I opened the door and all I saw were embers
in the sky.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
So I jumped up and I came out here, and
by the time I saw, the flames were like already high.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
He says.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
He helped knock on some doors to let other neighbors
know about the fire. It took more than one hundred
firefighters almost an hour to put the flames out. One
man was treated for a medical complaint. The Lacity councils
decided to hold on to some funding requested by Mayor Bass.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
The mayor's signature homeless program Inside Safe, is now required
to ask for its funding every quarter, and its forty
six point one million dollar request this week was partially
shot down. Councilman Bob Blumenfield says council members are in
need of more data and oversight for the program.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
We need to make sure that service providers are focused
on throughput and the city verifies services that are being rendered.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
The council agreed to pay out twenty nine point one
million dollars to ensure homeless service providers are paid and
other costs are covered, but decided not to pay the
full amount yet. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Officials in California have missed a deadline to secure funding
for higher payments to doctors who are treating low income
patients that will leave millions of dollars unclaimed. The funds
were part of Prop thirty five, approved by voters, which
relied on submitting paperwork to the federal government by March
thirty first. As a result, doctors won't receive promised increases
(05:01):
and the state's going to lose millions in federal matching
dollars to support the medical program. Taking a chance on
winning millions is about to take more money. The price
of a Mega Million's lottery tickets going up from two
to five dollars starting with tomorrow. Night's drawing officials say
the price increase will lead to faster growing jackpots in
better odds, maybe because less people are playing.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Not sure.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
The jackpot Friday is forty three million dollars. Now, let's
say good morning to ABC's Karen Travers. So, Karen, President
Trump went ahead and announced those tariffs against well, almost everybody.
So let's break it down a little bit and tell
us what happened yesterday.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Yeah, it's two different rounds. The first round starts April fifth, Saturday,
at midnight, at ten percent tariff on nearly all foreign imports.
It's a baseline tariff is basically applied to all countries.
And then on Wednesday, April ninth, there are sixty countries
who face even steeper tariffs. This is targeting what the
White House had called the worst offenders, you know, the
ones that the United States has trade death it's with.
(06:01):
And this is where the economists and experts now are saying,
you know, rose is much cheaper than anticipated. China thirty
four percent tariffs, the European Union twenty percent, Vietnam forty six,
Japan twenty four, India twenty six, and South Korea twenty five.
We bring in a lot of products from all of
those places I just mentioned, and all of the experts
(06:22):
we're talking to say, you know, this is going to
be a significant impact, and it's likely to be quick
you know, when these importers are bringing in products goods
from these countries and have to pay the higher costs,
they will pass it down. We're talking groceries, clothing, electronics,
and the auto tariffs of course go into effect this
week as well. That was something the President has had
(06:44):
announced last week. Some analysts say that, you know, worst
case scenario, this could cost a family of four potentially
about seven thousand dollars extra a year.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Yikes.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Okay, So and you mentioned that they were higher than anticipated.
The Trump administration was saying that this was a kinder
and gentler but it doesn't sound like that's the case. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
I mean, there's a lot of funny math here that
I am not going to get into because I think
your listeners would probably turn down there as a volume
a little bit because it's very, very wonky. But I
do direct you to social media for all of the
economist takes on this. But you know, remember I will
kind of frame it like this. The White House had
been saying in the lead up to this that these
(07:25):
were going to be reciprocal tariffs. You charge us this,
we charge you back. That that's not what this is
looking like here. The White House had said that these
actually would be at a half calculated rate of what
some countries are charging the United States in terms of
terriffs because they say the President is lenient. But even
those numbers I just cited to you, you know, the
(07:46):
EU at twenty percent, of Japan at twenty four percent,
the corresponding number that the President had on charts yesterday
of roughly forty percent and forty eight percent for those countries,
it's not exactly as simple as that. You know, they're
taking into account a lot of other factors in terms
of that tax, local currencies and local taxes, things like that.
(08:10):
So it's quite complicated, and there's a lot of questioning
this morning of how the White House is doing the
mass on this.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Okay, and have any countries officially responded.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
Yeah, So there's a lot of threats right now, like
just to say, the British Prime Minister said that he
is going to act in Britain's interest, and the European
Commission has said that this is a major blow to
businesses and consumers and that Europe is prepared to respond.
The German Economic Minister also saying you know, they're ready
to respond to this, is going to have some blowback
(08:43):
in the White House had said yesterday this is not
a negotiation. This is a national emergency. Countries can't negotiate.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Their way out of this.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
The White House also told countries not to retaliate. That
warning is not going to be heated by countries all
around the world.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, okay, and then even here there are it's to
block the tariffs in terms.
Speaker 7 (09:03):
Of like up on Capitol Hill. Yeah yeah, I mean,
but this isn't you know, he's taking this through executive action.
They can try to do that, and there were some
concerns among Republicans, but mostly you know, you heard Republicans
going along with this, and you know, seing the President
do this already with other realms. I'm not sure what
they would do to try to stop this onm.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Okay, well, brace yourselves. We're in for a wild ride.
Karen Travers, ABC News, thank you so much.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
Thanks, have a great day.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
All right, you two, Let's get back to some of
the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Democratic officials are suing to try to stop eleven billion
dollars in public health funding cuts. Twenty three states and Washington,
d C. Filed the lawsuit against the Department of Health
and Human Services asking for the cuts to be temporarily paused.
They argue that Trump administration made the cuts unlawfully without
(09:52):
analyzing the benefits of the funding or possible consequences of
removing it. A judge will hear the case later today.
Bill Sale has been sworn in as US Attorney for
the Central District of California, following his appointment by Attorney
General Pam Bondi. Sale, who has represented his district in
Riverside County since twenty twenty two, resigned his seat in
(10:14):
the Assembly immediately after he was appointed Tuesday. Speaking only
to KFI as, Sale tells John Cobalt, He's honored to
be selected for the.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Role, and as you can imagine, we have our work
cut out for us.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
We will be restoring law and order in the Central District.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
The Central District California is the nation's most populous district,
serving nearly twenty million people across seven counties, including Santa Barbara, Ventura,
and la Two guys in Newbury, England, have been fined
and sentenced to community service for vandalizing a statue of
Paddington Bear after a night of drinking. The judge told
(10:48):
them they are the antithesis of everything the bear stands for.
Security video shows two British Royal Air Force engineers kicking
the statue, breaking it apart, and then getting away with
half the bear in a taxi. Last month, po Least
track them to the Air Force barracks and arrested them
later that day. Newbury is the birthplace of Michael Bond,
(11:09):
who created the Paddington Bear book series. A dating app
is using artificial intelligence to teach people how to flirt.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
Tinder has released a feature called the Game Game on
its app, which allows you to practice your pickup lines,
then get scores and suggestions on how to improve your
dating skills. You play us get a virtual deck of cards,
each with a different AI persona and scenario like accidentally
grabbing someone else's luggage at the airport. You use your
voice to respond and try to get a date with
the bot within a time limit. Tinder says it's not
(11:38):
designed to replace conversations, but encourage them with real people
in real life. The game game is powered by Open AI.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
That sounds very strange to me, Well, this is going
to sound good if you're a Simpsons fan, Box says,
keeping the Simpsons around until.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
At least the end of this decade.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
The network announced yesterday it has ordered four more seasons
of the long running animated series that'll take it through
the twenty eight to twenty nine season, which will be
the show's fortieth Can you believe that the Simpsons.

Burger's and American Dad And I've never watched an episode
of any of them Simpsons, Yes, the other three. No. Tomorrow,

La City Council is making moves to update the city's
building code that would allow for apartment buildings to have
just one stairwell instead of the two now mandated by
(12:57):
fire standards. The council says those standards are out of
date and that single stairwelled buildings will encourage more affordable,
family sized apartments. A bill has been introduced to limit
ice agents access to school campuses in the state California.
State Superintendent Tony Thurman says Senate Bill forty eight would
address safety concerns for immigrant families and protect school funding.
(13:18):
The bill is in response to President Trump's executive order
that allows ice to go into schools and churches. For
the second time in a week, Starbucks is getting sued
by a customer, this one in Norwalk, who says he
was injured after a hot drink spilled on his lap
because the lid wasn't secured to the top. The lawsuits
were filed after a jury awarded fifty million dollars to
a man who said he got third degree burns from
(13:40):
a hot drink that'spilled on him at a Starbucks drive
through in South la.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
At six oh five.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It's handled on the news. Four Republicans have broken with
President Trump. They're trying to block tariffs against Canada. Let's
say good morning now to ABC's crime and Terrorism analyst
Brad Garrett. So we know we've been hearing about the
rash of very high profile break ins at athletes homes,
(14:05):
and then, as crimes do tend to do, there's been
an escalation. So let's talk about what's happening and how
the most recent break in in Washington is different.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Okay, So you have Richard Sherman, a former NFL player
I think for the Seattle Seahawks houses broken into. He's
not home, but his family and children are. Now these
guys and he come through the window. It looks like
I'm going to guess through a screen, have guns drawn,
(14:36):
have their faces covered clearly in my view, believing that
there's somebody to confront on the other side of the window. Now,
that's somewhat different based on what we know about a
number of the burglaries, both in or around Los Angeles
as well as other cities where these folks tend to
(14:58):
go in when no one's home because burglars, by and
large don't want to be confrontational. So we'll have to
see if this whole thing of South American theft groups
coming from places like Peru, Chile, Ecuador, etc. Are coming
up here expressly to burglarized homes in various places across
(15:21):
the country. And so you know, the question is, how
do you what do you do about this?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Now?
Speaker 4 (15:29):
The FBI now is actively working these burglary groups and
have charged a number of them in federal court. You
had a case in the Los Angeles area recently of
a group that's connected to South America that it hit
over thirty houses before they got caught. They tend to
have the fences already lined up. The folks who get
(15:51):
rid of the stolen property, they obviously hit these houses.
In particular athletes, because it's easy. Their schedules are published.
When they're playing either at a home game where they're
obviously not in the house, or they're away in another city,
they hit the house. They grab jewelry, designer purses, stuff
they can quickly get out of the house, take it
(16:12):
to a fence, turn it into cash, go to a bank,
use a fake passport to open a bank account, and
then send the money back to their home country and
then leave. And then they either get caught after a
number of days or they don't, and they go back
home and another group of people come. So it's a
big problem.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, and generally so they fly in, burglarize a few homes,
and then they leave, they don't stick around, or do
they stay kind of for a while, or do we
know yet.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
What well some have done gone into overstay. You know,
they're allowed to come and I'm making this up for
thirty days and then they overstay and then they're not
here illegally anymore. The other problem to me is that
some of these South American countries, and this may have
changed in recent times, have what the State Department calls
(17:03):
a visa waiver program that you can come into the
US and you don't need a visa, which unfortunately can
make it super easy for people who are coming here
to do illegal things. And as I said, I believe
some of that has tightened up. But the problem is
some of these you know, very poor third world countries
in South America really don't have the mechanism, manpower, or
(17:26):
the expertise to screen anybody that's coming up here. So
some of that's got to change. But the FBI, working
with city, county and state law enforcement in particularly with LAPD,
have gotten the handle on a lot of these a
lot of these folks that have arrested a number of them.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
So that's that's the positive news. Who's behind them? Are
the cartels behind all this?
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Or is it just it's really it's really hard to say.
I mean, I guess I'd be surprised if it's the
cartels only because there's not that much money. I mean,
you can make right, right, I mean, if you can
flood la with filling the blank illegal drug and make
literally billions of dollars, are you going to mess around
(18:14):
with jewelry and you know, watches And the reality is
that eventually these folks get caught.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
So my guess is no, okay, and is there I mean, like,
what can law enforcement do because, like you said, they're
breaking into people's houses generally, although this last one was
obviously different, but they're breaking in when they know they're
going to be out of town and there's probably no
one home.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
So the real key obviously is immediately looking for links
between cases, which you know, the FBI can be particularly helpful.
Let's say the LAPD. If you're talking about like someone's
house is you know, getting burglarized in another state, that
they can look at the link and see if they're
potentially the same group. Once you do that, you can
(19:04):
then potentially start looking at cell phone usage in or
around the burglarized locations and see if they match up.
You know, the problem is if people come in here
temporarily and they're not even here with using their real name,
unless you can really get onto them and start to
link them quickly, they can stay here for a while
(19:27):
and you don't really know who they are. So it's
a real challenge for law enforcement because they've you know,
they've got customs and Border Protection, the ICE agents all
I think also working with them to look at this
factor of coming into the country. But as I mentioned earlier,
it's an ongoing problem that you know, if you were
(19:48):
someone in one of these poor countries, why wouldn't you
come and try this. If you're inclined to break the law.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
That gu's worth the risk to you. So, Brad, then
here's a question.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
I know that we've been focus sing on, you know,
like the superstars and the athletes that aren't being broken into.
But the reality is it's happening to people who aren't famous,
like people who go on vacation if they if people
know that you're going to be gone, or the people
who are setting up cameras in neighborhoods to watch when
people are coming and going. I mean, is there anything
(20:20):
you can do to protect yourself aside from an alarm system.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Well, it's a combination, yes, an alarm system, which you know,
you want to let your trusted neighbors around you know
that you're gone, make sure it doesn't look like anything
has changed. You have lights that come on at a
certain hour, no mail or newspapers building up in the front.
(20:47):
And you know, if you're somebody particularly of means and
have the money to add, like even a physical patrol
to your house where they could check it regularly while
you're gone, is just to make it that much more
difficult to get into your house and to have people
potentially watch it. And that's the roo key.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
All right, ABC's Crime and Terrorism analyst Brad Garrett, thank
you so much.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
We'll talk to you again soon.
Speaker 4 (21:19):

I think it's April eighth.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
So I went back and watched like the last couple
because it's been a couple of years since the last
season and this is supposed to be the final season.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
So can't wait for that. Okay.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
I'm on streaming shows and movies and documentaries, all kinds
of different things that you can see because there's so
much content out there, and there's there's good content. There's
bad content, and maybe if it's something bad that I
can share with you, you might save a little time.
Or if there's something that you haven't seen yet, it
might be so good you just can't miss it. This
(26:57):
one is, I think, really good. It's called The Residence.
It's brand new, it's on Netflix, just released a few
weeks ago. It's eight episodes, so it's a nice short
binge and it stars Uzo a Duba. I hope I'm
saying that right. She You will remember her from Orange
is the New Black. She was Suzanne Warren. They called
(27:18):
her Crazy Eyes. She was one of my favorites on
that show. She plays Detective Cordelia Cup who is the
person that is called in to solve impossible cases. So
the backdrop of it is there's a murder in the
White House the night of a state dinner with Australia
and g and Carlo Esposito. You might know him from well,
(27:42):
you'll know him from everything, but he's most recently in
The Mandalorian, he was in Breaking Bad in tons of
other shows. He plays ab Winter and he dies in
the first episode, like right out of the gate. So
I'm not giving anything away, but he is a big
part of the show as Detective Cup works to try
to find out who killed them, and the question is
what would have motivated someone to murder the White House Usher.
(28:05):
He's the guy who basically runs the White House, so
why would someone want him dead? Well, in each episode,
Detective Cup focuses on someone new, puts them in the
scot spotlight and watches them, and she doesn't point the
finger at them. They're not called a suspect. She always
says no, no, no, I'm just I'm just finding out.
But she's always focusing on different people who were there
(28:28):
the night of the murder, and it's everybody from staff
to world leaders to guests at the at the dinner.
And she's super observant. She notices things that other people don't.
It seems to be a common theme and a lot
of shows these days, but it's always very interesting because
it's stuff that I would have missed. She doesn't draw conclusions,
she just observes, and it is it's a It's like
a classic who Done It? And it's pretty fun. It's
(28:50):
kind of a mix of Clue and murder on the
Orient Express, so it's serious but also a little bit
lighter and fun and the characters are quirky and they're interesting.
And the other thing I love about it is as
they're trying to figure out who did what and where
people were during the evening and that kind of stuff,
it gives you this bird's eye view of the White House,
(29:12):
which is fascinating. Basically shows you the plans for the
White House, and then you get to see kind of
the inner workings of the White House and secret spaces
and places and how it all works and comes together.
So I think that that part, and as a side,
just because it's the White House, I think it's super interesting.
And Uzo Aduba is fabulous, best part of the show.
(29:32):
She is so fun to watch. It's called The Residents.
It's on Netflix. The all eight episodes are out.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I'm on it. I think you might want to be
on it too.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
All right, time to get in your business with Bloomberg's
Courtney Donahoe.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Good morning, Courtney.
Speaker 9 (29:47):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Oooh it's rough here, I.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Bet so let's dive right into it. Because after the
tariffs were announced, the stock market had ended up yesterday
and then that announcement came and something else happened.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
Yeah, the market's really not liking what they're hearing when
it comes to tariffs, and this report is sponsored by
Total Wine and more. Well, the president's plan is a
lot tougher than what Wall Street was expecting.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
So this definitely sparked a sell off for global stocks.
So let's put it all in perspective.
Speaker 9 (30:17):
Roughly one point seven trillion dollars trillion with a T
is set to be erased from the S and P
five hundred when trading opens this morning. So we've been
talking to a lot of folks on training desks to
get you a bit of color on what's happening, why
the markets are reacting this way. Here's Jane Fully, and
she's a strategist at Rabobank.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
They were generally worse than that the market had anticipated.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Of course, we knew that they were going to be tariff's,
but these are at the top end really of many
market at full costs that we had, So it's a
lot more than what traders thought.
Speaker 9 (30:47):
Plus what does this mean for companies? Here's Bob Michael
of JP Morgan Asset Management.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Right now, a heavy tax has been applied to businesses
and to households. Businesses have to decide how much they're
going on to absorb, and how much they're going to
pass through.
Speaker 9 (31:03):
So economists say the near term result of all of
these measures will likely be higher prices and slower growth
or perhaps even a recession. So we are looking at
a rough open SMP futures they're plunging three and a
half percent.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
That is a big drop.
Speaker 9 (31:17):
At the open Dow futures, they're tumbling more than twelve
hundred points. Tech heavy Nasdaq it's down eight hundred and
forty So rough day ahead for investors.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Okay, and yesterday we had talked because I think if
I'm remembering correctly, which is questionable, we had said that that,
you know, that things were kind of down, but then
it ended up being a decent day. So is there
any hope that we're not going to have just as
horrendous day on the on Wall Street?
Speaker 9 (31:44):
Well, see, the problem is people are looking at the
individual companies and their supply chains, and many of them
are dependent on overseas manufacturing. So that's why we're seeing
a lot of individual companies taking a big hit. And
these are really big companies. For example, Nike is getting
slimmed this morning. Shares are down more than nine percent
in the pre market but about half of olum Nike
(32:04):
shoes are made in Vietnam.
Speaker 8 (32:06):
Now, a number of.
Speaker 9 (32:07):
Retailers to sourcer products abroad are seeing losses. We're talking Lulu,
Lemmett and Abercrombie and Fetch Gap some of the notable
names apparel and luxury stocks. They're the worst performing industry overall.
As we head to the open Walmart obviously a giant company,
they get a bulk of their products from China. Caterpillar
and Boeing, they see a lot of sales from there
(32:29):
that's dropping this morning.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
But Apple is.
Speaker 9 (32:31):
One of the notable movers because they're definitely finding themselves
in the crosshairs of these new tariffs and that's going
to hit the company's supply chain in manufacturing centers around
the world.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Okay, so our sixteen hundred dollars phone's not going to
be twenty five hundred dollars.
Speaker 9 (32:44):
Great, No, Well, the thing about Apple is, you know
they moved some of their some of their production and
manufacturing center out of China, moved into other countries thinking okay,
well we're going to avoid this first time around, and look,
it ends up pinning them because they pretty much have
no manufacturing at all in the United States. So that's
one of the issues why to be able to move
(33:07):
a supply chain like that back to the United States
is going to be really tough. And now the big
question with these tariffs is are these going companies going
to hold on to this or is this going to
get passed on to the consumer. So there's a lot
of questions out there. This is why we're seeing the
markets reacting the way that they are. And it seems
across the board from a lot of people that I've
(33:27):
been talking to on Wall Street, this is going to
be tough.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Okay, well, and we'll be watching it.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
We're going to get in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho,
thank you so much. We'll talk to you again tomorrow
and see what that wild ride is like for tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Have a better date than the markets. All right, thanks Courtney.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour news for more protections
and rights for fast food workers in LA could soon
be extended.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Workers from the fast food industry crowded city hall to
make their case. Councilman Isabelle Herado says paid time off,
paid training, to educate them on their rights and mandating
reliable scheduling is important for fast food employment.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
We're fighting for these jobs so that they can have
a predictable schedule, that they'll know their rights, so that
they keep their jobs.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
The La City Council has voted to have the City
Attorney draft and ordinance enhancing the city's Fair Workweek Ordinance
to make it more applicable to fast food workers. Michael
Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Hunter Biden will be permanently stripped of his law license
in Washington, d C. The former president's son agreed to
a consent to disbarment in an affidavit Field yesterday are
filed yesterday. His law license was suspended last year after
he was found guilty in Delaware federal court of lying
about his drug use when buying a gun. Steven Spielberg
(34:43):
and George Lucas are at the top of Forbes' list
of celebrity billionaires. Spielberg, according to the new list, is
worth five point three billion dollars. Lucas is not far behind,
worth five point one billion. Michael Jordan, Oprah Winfrey, and
wrestling mogul Vin S. McMahon round out the top five.
Eighteen celebrities made the list. LA City Council's unanimously approved
(35:07):
emotion to work on a plan to extend protections for
fast food employees. Supporters call it a significant step in
providing fast food workers with stable scheduling and paid time off.
A coalition of restaurant owners says putting more mandates on
owners could hurt workers, small businesses, and.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Customers because of higher prices.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
President Trump announced a reciprocal tariffs against some sixty countries
during a Rose Garden ceremony. Trump says trading partners have looted, pillaged,
and raped American industries for decades. Critics claim the reciprocal
tariffs are unfair and could lead to hyper inflation. Amazon's
reportedly making a last minute bid to buy TikTok. The
e commerce giants admitted the bid through an offer letter

Speaker 3 (36:08):
On a happier note, we're.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Just a few days away from the Wiggle Wagga Walk
for Pasadena Humane. So let's say good morning to Pasadena Humans.
Kevin McManus, Kevin, We're just just a couple of days
away before we all go to the dogs.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
I know, I'm really excited, So tell her.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Tell us about the walk for anybody who may not
be familiar, if they haven't heard me talking about it a.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Lot on Waco, call, Well, the Wigga Wagga Walking Run
is our biggest fundraiser at the year, excuse me. And
we have basically a big dog walk at the Rose
Bowl and then you know kind of like a fun
you know, vendor event and booths and doggy costume contests
all that kind of stuff at Brookside Park. So it's Sunday,
(36:53):
April sixth, from nine to eleven. And yeah, you don't
need a dog to you know, participate, but it's a
little bit more fun if you do. Yep.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
And last year you said kind of all all walks
of dogs are welcome. We had a lot of dogs
last year that came in strollers like they just couldn't
make the walks, so they got pushed around the route.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
So all dogs are welcome, right of course.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Yeah. Yeah, Obviously, if your dog is uncomfortable with other dogs,
maybe this isn't the best event for him or her.
But other than that, yeah, every dog is welcome. You know,
there's two options for walking. There's the five mile or sorry,
the five k the three mile loop around the entire
Rose Bowl, and then there's a one mile loop, which
a lot of the smaller dogs or older dogs are
(37:38):
those in strollers choose to take. But a lot of
fun things for pet owners, a lot of great vendors.
This year. Subaru has this cool activation they're doing and
they're they're sponsoring all the adoptions that happened at our
Wiggle Waggle Wagon this year, which is really cool.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
So you're gonna have dogs out on site again this year.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
That's right, You have adoptable dogs. Yeah, so, and there
some of them will be walking with our volunteers and
I obviously decked out so you know who's who. But yeah,
if you're looking for a dog, now was a great
time too.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
And as we've talked about before last year, I got
to walk this beautiful Doberman pincher and had some volunteers
with me to make sure that everything went well.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
But she was just awesome.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
And I had somebody on the walk who didn't have
a dog, and they were asking me about her and
they ended up adopting her. I mean, so do you
just even if you show up without a dog, you
might go home with one. That's one of the great
things of Wiggle Waggle Walk.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
And I would have tap my eye on one for you. Amy,
I've got my eye on a dog right now. He's
gonna be perfect. If he's still arrived, he isn't adopted
by then he's your dog.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Oh okay, yay, I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
I miss having a dog and I love to get
to have one just for a couple of hours. And
then the costume contest is always so much fun, Like
a lot of dogs dress up for this and you
have a whole contest going.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
So many it's crazy and people go all out. You know,
it's one of my favorite parts. Just like I've overwhelmed
with people's creativity and how they can you know, dress out,
how can they get their dogs to put on a costume,
which is also a feat but then yeah, the creativity
that goes into some of these costings, that's really stunning.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Okay, So Kevin, let's talk about because we know that
you said it's the biggest fundraiser. We know that you're
asking people to take their hard earned money and donate
it to Pasadena Humane. So let's talk about what the
money that we donate and what the money we raise
is going to do. Well.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
It helps us with all of our programs that we
do throughout the year. So that's our Animal ICU, which
was kind of, you know, really highlighted during the fire,
caring for animals that were entered and burned in the fire,
our foster care program, argument education programs, are Wildlife like
all of the things that we do for the animals
(39:53):
in our community that gets funding directly from events like this.
So that's why we you know, we know people have
been overwhelmingly supporting us for the last few months because
of the fire, but we're asking for just a little
bit more because this will help us do what we
do all year long.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Yeah, and if you.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Want to see some of what they do, we posted
on Instagram after we came and visited you after the fires,
and it's at Amy k King. But Kevin took us
into one of the operating rooms and we got to
see one of the little cats who was being treated
and some of them that are that were on the
road to repair after they were burned in that awful fire.
(40:34):
And then are you still boarding some of the animals
or is everybody.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
Back in their homes.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
We still have about one hundred and forty animals that
we're caring for, and you know, that's definitely like a
long term need as well, just kind of so that
unfortunately that is expensive. We're not charging any of the
pet owners anything, you know, we know that they're going
through a lot and have lost homes. But yeah, so
we're caring for their pets until they can you know,
(41:02):
make the next step in their you know, journey to recovery,
which you know, it actually impacts the shelter a lot
because we you know, a lot, a good chunk of
those are still at the shelter itself. We have a
lunch in foster homes too, but you know, it makes
us you know, just kind of every dog that comes in,
we're already like we need to have a plan on
how to get that dog adopted. So it's a lot
(41:25):
of pressure right now for us because of that, but
you know, we're making the best of it. When you know,
obviously we're going to be there for the community for
as long as it takes.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
And I know that we're talking about dogs for this
weekend because of the Wiggle Waggle Walk, but it's almost
kitten season, so keep that in mind.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
Oh yeah, yeah, for sure. We've already gotten letters of
kittens in and we have a kitten shower coming up
in a couple of weeks which will be a fun event.
But so people are interested in fostering kittens, that's a
really good opportunity and a good way for us to
kind of share the share the load of caring for
the the thousands of kittens that we'll get in.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
Okay, And if they are interested in fostering or something,
can they just go to Pasadena Humane.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
The website exactly, yeah, or if they're at the walk,
I know the foster team will be there with an
informational tablet.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
Kevin McManus with Pasadena Humane can't wait to see you
on Sunday. It's the Wiggle Waggle Walk for Pasadena Humane
And if you would like to join our team. We
would love to have you come walk for it with us,
and of course we would love to take your donation.
And you can do both of those things at KFI
AM six forty dot com, slash Wiggle. Thanks Kevin, We'll
(42:33):
see you Sunday.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
Okay, Thanks Amy.
Speaker 3 (42:35):
All right, take care.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. President Trump is
imposed new tariffs on all imported goods and released a
detailed list of the reciprocal duties, targeting more than sixty countries.
Speaker 10 (42:47):
We're standing up for the American worker, and we are
finally putting America first.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
He called yesterday Liberation Day for the US, saying trading
partners of looted, pillaged, and raped American industries for decks gates,
leading to a loss of US jobs and manufacturing.
Speaker 10 (43:02):
Our country and its taxpayers have been ripped off for
more than fifty years. But it is not going to
happen anymore.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
It's not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
The tariffs are based on what other countries charged the
US to import products, and in many cases are lower.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Our Eagles have names. They were announced yesterday Sonny and Gizmo.
So the bigger eaglet is Sonny, the little guy is Gizmo.
Of course, we named him Rocky here on wake Up
Call because we think he's a fighter and he's doing
so good, so I might still call him Rocky.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
But elementary school kids named him. They had the final choice.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
I hear they even named the one that didn't make it,
that was done before.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, they named that one Misty in honor of somebody
who used to be affiliated with friends of Big Bear
Valley who passed away. So that was Misty. But the
two remaining who are doing very well and covered up
by Mom right now as much as she can. Sonny
and Gizmo, here's what's ahead on wake up Call. Almost
three months after the massive and destructive wildfires towards through
(02:00):
Alta Dina, the La County Medical Examiner's offices, human remains
have been found. They were discovered yesterday afternoon in the
nine hundred block of Boston Street. FEMA has extended the
deadline until April fifteenth for homeowners in Pacific Palisades and
Alta Dina to sign up to have their property cleaned
up by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The service
is offered it no charge to homeowners, but if they
(02:22):
opt out, they're going to have to pay their own
contractors to do the work. You can get the form
at Recovery dot La County dot gov. Stock market futures
have dropped like a rock following President Trump's tariff announcement,
with investors fearing a global trade war, futures were down
almost twelve hundred actually now it's over twelve hundred feet
(02:42):
points ahead of the opening bell. We're going to dig
a little deeper into that when we get in your
Business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho at five point forty and
in about three minutes, ABC's Karen travers, it's going to
help us break down the tariffs and when we might
start feeling the pinch. High profile break ins at athletes'
homes are escalating with been hearing about him a lot.
ABC's Crime and Terrorism analyst Brad Garrett is going to
(03:04):
tell us more about that. The Wiggle Waggle Walks just
four days away, we're going to be talking to Pasadena
humans Kevin McManus about what the money you donate does
to help save the lives of thousands of animals. They
do such great work. And Amy's on it. We're doing
a special Thursday edition. I'm taking up residence with a
new show on Netflix. Let's get started with some of
(03:25):
the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Nearly a dozen people in LA's Westlake neighborhood had to
leave their homes in the middle of the night because
of a fire that destroyed a three story apartment building
that was under construction. The fire late last night spread
to a vacant home and some sheds. This guy lives nearby,
says he woke up because of the fire.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I opened the door and all I saw were embers
in the sky.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
So I jumped up and I came out here, and
by the time I saw, the flames were like already high.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
He says.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
He helped knock on some doors to let other neighbors
know about the fire. It took more than one hundred
firefighters almost an hour to put the flames out. One
man was treated for a medical complaint. The Lacity councils
decided to hold on to some funding requested by Mayor Bass.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
The mayor's signature homeless program Inside Safe, is now required
to ask for its funding every quarter, and its forty
six point one million dollar request this week was partially
shot down. Councilman Bob Blumenfield says council members are in
need of more data and oversight for the program.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
We need to make sure that service providers are focused
on throughput and the city verifies services that are being rendered.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
The council agreed to pay out twenty nine point one
million dollars to ensure homeless service providers are paid and
other costs are covered, but decided not to pay the
full amount yet. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Officials in California have missed a deadline to secure funding
for higher payments to doctors who are treating low income
patients that will leave millions of dollars unclaimed. The funds
were part of Prop thirty five, approved by voters, which
relied on submitting paperwork to the federal government by March
thirty first. As a result, doctors won't receive promised increases
(05:01):
and the state's going to lose millions in federal matching
dollars to support the medical program. Taking a chance on
winning millions is about to take more money. The price
of a Mega Million's lottery tickets going up from two
to five dollars starting with tomorrow. Night's drawing officials say
the price increase will lead to faster growing jackpots in
better odds, maybe because less people are playing.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Not sure.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
The jackpot Friday is forty three million dollars. Now, let's
say good morning to ABC's Karen Travers. So, Karen, President
Trump went ahead and announced those tariffs against well, almost everybody.
So let's break it down a little bit and tell
us what happened yesterday.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Yeah, it's two different rounds. The first round starts April fifth, Saturday,
at midnight, at ten percent tariff on nearly all foreign imports.
It's a baseline tariff is basically applied to all countries.
And then on Wednesday, April ninth, there are sixty countries
who face even steeper tariffs. This is targeting what the
White House had called the worst offenders, you know, the
ones that the United States has trade death it's with.
(06:01):
And this is where the economists and experts now are saying,
you know, rose is much cheaper than anticipated. China thirty
four percent tariffs, the European Union twenty percent, Vietnam forty six,
Japan twenty four, India twenty six, and South Korea twenty five.
We bring in a lot of products from all of
those places I just mentioned, and all of the experts
(06:22):
we're talking to say, you know, this is going to
be a significant impact, and it's likely to be quick
you know, when these importers are bringing in products goods
from these countries and have to pay the higher costs,
they will pass it down. We're talking groceries, clothing, electronics,
and the auto tariffs of course go into effect this
week as well. That was something the President has had
(06:44):
announced last week. Some analysts say that, you know, worst
case scenario, this could cost a family of four potentially
about seven thousand dollars extra a year.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Yikes.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Okay, So and you mentioned that they were higher than anticipated.
The Trump administration was saying that this was a kinder
and gentler but it doesn't sound like that's the case. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
I mean, there's a lot of funny math here that
I am not going to get into because I think
your listeners would probably turn down there as a volume
a little bit because it's very, very wonky. But I
do direct you to social media for all of the
economist takes on this. But you know, remember I will
kind of frame it like this. The White House had
been saying in the lead up to this that these
(07:25):
were going to be reciprocal tariffs. You charge us this,
we charge you back. That that's not what this is
looking like here. The White House had said that these
actually would be at a half calculated rate of what
some countries are charging the United States in terms of
terriffs because they say the President is lenient. But even
those numbers I just cited to you, you know, the
(07:46):
EU at twenty percent, of Japan at twenty four percent,
the corresponding number that the President had on charts yesterday
of roughly forty percent and forty eight percent for those countries,
it's not exactly as simple as that. You know, they're
taking into account a lot of other factors in terms
of that tax, local currencies and local taxes, things like that.
(08:10):
So it's quite complicated, and there's a lot of questioning
this morning of how the White House is doing the
mass on this.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Okay, and have any countries officially responded.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
Yeah, So there's a lot of threats right now, like
just to say, the British Prime Minister said that he
is going to act in Britain's interest, and the European
Commission has said that this is a major blow to
businesses and consumers and that Europe is prepared to respond.
The German Economic Minister also saying you know, they're ready
to respond to this, is going to have some blowback
(08:43):
in the White House had said yesterday this is not
a negotiation. This is a national emergency. Countries can't negotiate.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Their way out of this.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
The White House also told countries not to retaliate. That
warning is not going to be heated by countries all
around the world.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, okay, and then even here there are it's to
block the tariffs in terms.
Speaker 7 (09:03):
Of like up on Capitol Hill. Yeah yeah, I mean,
but this isn't you know, he's taking this through executive action.
They can try to do that, and there were some
concerns among Republicans, but mostly you know, you heard Republicans
going along with this, and you know, seing the President
do this already with other realms. I'm not sure what
they would do to try to stop this onm.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Okay, well, brace yourselves. We're in for a wild ride.
Karen Travers, ABC News, thank you so much.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
Thanks, have a great day.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
All right, you two, Let's get back to some of
the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Democratic officials are suing to try to stop eleven billion
dollars in public health funding cuts. Twenty three states and Washington,
d C. Filed the lawsuit against the Department of Health
and Human Services asking for the cuts to be temporarily paused.
They argue that Trump administration made the cuts unlawfully without
(09:52):
analyzing the benefits of the funding or possible consequences of
removing it. A judge will hear the case later today.
Bill Sale has been sworn in as US Attorney for
the Central District of California, following his appointment by Attorney
General Pam Bondi. Sale, who has represented his district in
Riverside County since twenty twenty two, resigned his seat in

the Assembly immediately after he was appointed Tuesday. Speaking only
to KFI as, Sale tells John Cobalt, He's honored to
be selected for the.

the statue, breaking it apart, and then getting away with
half the bear in a taxi. Last month, po Least

building code that would allow for apartment buildings to have
just one stairwell instead of the two now mandated by

family sized apartments. A bill has been introduced to limit
ice agents access to school campuses in the state California.

the second time in a week, Starbucks is getting sued
by a customer, this one in Norwalk, who says he
was injured after a hot drink spilled on his lap
because the lid wasn't secured to the top. The lawsuits
were filed after a jury awarded fifty million dollars to
a man who said he got third degree burns from
(13:40):
a hot drink that'spilled on him at a Starbucks drive
through in South la.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
At six oh five.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It's handled on the news. Four Republicans have broken with
President Trump. They're trying to block tariffs against Canada. Let's
say good morning now to ABC's crime and Terrorism analyst
Brad Garrett. So we know we've been hearing about the
rash of very high profile break ins at athletes homes,
(14:05):
and then, as crimes do tend to do, there's been
an escalation. So let's talk about what's happening and how
the most recent break in in Washington is different.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Okay, So you have Richard Sherman, a former NFL player
I think for the Seattle Seahawks houses broken into. He's
not home, but his family and children are. Now these
guys and he come through the window. It looks like
I'm going to guess through a screen, have guns drawn,
(14:36):
have their faces covered clearly in my view, believing that
there's somebody to confront on the other side of the window. Now,
that's somewhat different based on what we know about a
number of the burglaries, both in or around Los Angeles
as well as other cities where these folks tend to
(14:58):
go in when no one's home because burglars, by and
large don't want to be confrontational. So we'll have to
see if this whole thing of South American theft groups
coming from places like Peru, Chile, Ecuador, etc. Are coming
up here expressly to burglarized homes in various places across
(15:21):
the country. And so you know, the question is, how
do you what do you do about this?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Now?
Speaker 4 (15:29):
The FBI now is actively working these burglary groups and
have charged a number of them in federal court. You
had a case in the Los Angeles area recently of
a group that's connected to South America that it hit
over thirty houses before they got caught. They tend to
have the fences already lined up. The folks who get
(15:51):
rid of the stolen property, they obviously hit these houses.
In particular athletes, because it's easy. Their schedules are published.
When they're playing either at a home game where they're
obviously not in the house, or they're away in another city,
they hit the house. They grab jewelry, designer purses, stuff
they can quickly get out of the house, take it
(16:12):
to a fence, turn it into cash, go to a bank,
use a fake passport to open a bank account, and
then send the money back to their home country and
then leave. And then they either get caught after a
number of days or they don't, and they go back
home and another group of people come. So it's a
big problem.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, and generally so they fly in, burglarize a few homes,
and then they leave, they don't stick around, or do
they stay kind of for a while, or do we
know yet.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
What well some have done gone into overstay. You know,
they're allowed to come and I'm making this up for
thirty days and then they overstay and then they're not
here illegally anymore. The other problem to me is that
some of these South American countries, and this may have
changed in recent times, have what the State Department calls
(17:03):
a visa waiver program that you can come into the
US and you don't need a visa, which unfortunately can
make it super easy for people who are coming here
to do illegal things. And as I said, I believe
some of that has tightened up. But the problem is
some of these you know, very poor third world countries
in South America really don't have the mechanism, manpower, or
(17:26):
the expertise to screen anybody that's coming up here. So
some of that's got to change. But the FBI, working
with city, county and state law enforcement in particularly with LAPD,
have gotten the handle on a lot of these a
lot of these folks that have arrested a number of them.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
So that's that's the positive news. Who's behind them? Are
the cartels behind all this?
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Or is it just it's really it's really hard to say.
I mean, I guess I'd be surprised if it's the
cartels only because there's not that much money. I mean,
you can make right, right, I mean, if you can
flood la with filling the blank illegal drug and make
literally billions of dollars, are you going to mess around
(18:14):
with jewelry and you know, watches And the reality is
that eventually these folks get caught.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
So my guess is no, okay, and is there I mean, like,
what can law enforcement do because, like you said, they're
breaking into people's houses generally, although this last one was
obviously different, but they're breaking in when they know they're
going to be out of town and there's probably no
one home.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
So the real key obviously is immediately looking for links
between cases, which you know, the FBI can be particularly helpful.
Let's say the LAPD. If you're talking about like someone's
house is you know, getting burglarized in another state, that
they can look at the link and see if they're
potentially the same group. Once you do that, you can
(19:04):
then potentially start looking at cell phone usage in or
around the burglarized locations and see if they match up.
You know, the problem is if people come in here
temporarily and they're not even here with using their real name,
unless you can really get onto them and start to
link them quickly, they can stay here for a while
(19:27):
and you don't really know who they are. So it's
a real challenge for law enforcement because they've you know,
they've got customs and Border Protection, the ICE agents all
I think also working with them to look at this
factor of coming into the country. But as I mentioned earlier,
it's an ongoing problem that you know, if you were
(19:48):
someone in one of these poor countries, why wouldn't you
come and try this. If you're inclined to break the law.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
That gu's worth the risk to you. So, Brad, then
here's a question.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
I know that we've been focus sing on, you know,
like the superstars and the athletes that aren't being broken into.
But the reality is it's happening to people who aren't famous,
like people who go on vacation if they if people
know that you're going to be gone, or the people
who are setting up cameras in neighborhoods to watch when
people are coming and going. I mean, is there anything
(20:20):
you can do to protect yourself aside from an alarm system.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Well, it's a combination, yes, an alarm system, which you know,
you want to let your trusted neighbors around you know
that you're gone, make sure it doesn't look like anything
has changed. You have lights that come on at a
certain hour, no mail or newspapers building up in the front.
(20:47):
And you know, if you're somebody particularly of means and
have the money to add, like even a physical patrol
to your house where they could check it regularly while
you're gone, is just to make it that much more
difficult to get into your house and to have people
potentially watch it. And that's the roo key.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
All right, ABC's Crime and Terrorism analyst Brad Garrett, thank
you so much.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
We'll talk to you again soon.

a heads up for anybody who's a handmade's Tale theme.
In case you haven't heard yet, the new season drops
in just a couple of days.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
I think it's April eighth.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
So I went back and watched like the last couple
because it's been a couple of years since the last
season and this is supposed to be the final season.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
So can't wait for that. Okay.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
I'm on streaming shows and movies and documentaries, all kinds
of different things that you can see because there's so
much content out there, and there's there's good content. There's
bad content, and maybe if it's something bad that I
can share with you, you might save a little time.
Or if there's something that you haven't seen yet, it
might be so good you just can't miss it. This
(26:57):
one is, I think, really good. It's called The Residence.
It's brand new, it's on Netflix, just released a few
weeks ago. It's eight episodes, so it's a nice short
binge and it stars Uzo a Duba. I hope I'm
saying that right. She You will remember her from Orange
is the New Black. She was Suzanne Warren. They called
(27:18):
her Crazy Eyes. She was one of my favorites on
that show. She plays Detective Cordelia Cup who is the
person that is called in to solve impossible cases. So
the backdrop of it is there's a murder in the
White House the night of a state dinner with Australia
and g and Carlo Esposito. You might know him from well,
(27:42):
you'll know him from everything, but he's most recently in
The Mandalorian, he was in Breaking Bad in tons of
other shows. He plays ab Winter and he dies in
the first episode, like right out of the gate. So
I'm not giving anything away, but he is a big
part of the show as Detective Cup works to try
to find out who killed them, and the question is
what would have motivated someone to murder the White House Usher.
(28:05):
He's the guy who basically runs the White House, so
why would someone want him dead? Well, in each episode,
Detective Cup focuses on someone new, puts them in the
scot spotlight and watches them, and she doesn't point the
finger at them. They're not called a suspect. She always
says no, no, no, I'm just I'm just finding out.
But she's always focusing on different people who were there
(28:28):
the night of the murder, and it's everybody from staff
to world leaders to guests at the at the dinner.
And she's super observant. She notices things that other people don't.
It seems to be a common theme and a lot
of shows these days, but it's always very interesting because
it's stuff that I would have missed. She doesn't draw conclusions,
she just observes, and it is it's a It's like
a classic who Done It? And it's pretty fun. It's
(28:50):
kind of a mix of Clue and murder on the
Orient Express, so it's serious but also a little bit
lighter and fun and the characters are quirky and they're interesting.
And the other thing I love about it is as
they're trying to figure out who did what and where
people were during the evening and that kind of stuff,
it gives you this bird's eye view of the White House,
(29:12):
which is fascinating. Basically shows you the plans for the
White House, and then you get to see kind of
the inner workings of the White House and secret spaces
and places and how it all works and comes together.
So I think that that part, and as a side,
just because it's the White House, I think it's super interesting.
And Uzo Aduba is fabulous, best part of the show.
(29:32):
She is so fun to watch. It's called The Residents.
It's on Netflix. The all eight episodes are out.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I'm on it. I think you might want to be
on it too.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
All right, time to get in your business with Bloomberg's
Courtney Donahoe.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Good morning, Courtney.
Speaker 9 (29:47):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Oooh it's rough here, I.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Bet so let's dive right into it. Because after the
tariffs were announced, the stock market had ended up yesterday
and then that announcement came and something else happened.
Speaker 9 (30:00):
Yeah, the market's really not liking what they're hearing when
it comes to tariffs, and this report is sponsored by
Total Wine and more. Well, the president's plan is a
lot tougher than what Wall Street was expecting.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
So this definitely sparked a sell off for global stocks.
So let's put it all in perspective.
Speaker 9 (30:17):
Roughly one point seven trillion dollars trillion with a T
is set to be erased from the S and P
five hundred when trading opens this morning. So we've been
talking to a lot of folks on training desks to
get you a bit of color on what's happening, why
the markets are reacting this way. Here's Jane Fully, and
she's a strategist at Rabobank.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
They were generally worse than that the market had anticipated.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Of course, we knew that they were going to be tariff's,
but these are at the top end really of many
market at full costs that we had, So it's a
lot more than what traders thought.
Speaker 9 (30:47):
Plus what does this mean for companies? Here's Bob Michael
of JP Morgan Asset Management.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Right now, a heavy tax has been applied to businesses
and to households. Businesses have to decide how much they're
going on to absorb, and how much they're going to
pass through.
Speaker 9 (31:03):
So economists say the near term result of all of
these measures will likely be higher prices and slower growth
or perhaps even a recession. So we are looking at
a rough open SMP futures they're plunging three and a
half percent.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
That is a big drop.
Speaker 9 (31:17):
At the open Dow futures, they're tumbling more than twelve
hundred points. Tech heavy Nasdaq it's down eight hundred and
forty So rough day ahead for investors.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Okay, and yesterday we had talked because I think if
I'm remembering correctly, which is questionable, we had said that that,
you know, that things were kind of down, but then
it ended up being a decent day. So is there
any hope that we're not going to have just as
horrendous day on the on Wall Street?
Speaker 9 (31:44):
Well, see, the problem is people are looking at the
individual companies and their supply chains, and many of them
are dependent on overseas manufacturing. So that's why we're seeing
a lot of individual companies taking a big hit. And
these are really big companies. For example, Nike is getting
slimmed this morning. Shares are down more than nine percent
in the pre market but about half of olum Nike
(32:04):
shoes are made in Vietnam.
Speaker 8 (32:06):
Now, a number of.
Speaker 9 (32:07):
Retailers to sourcer products abroad are seeing losses. We're talking Lulu,
Lemmett and Abercrombie and Fetch Gap some of the notable
names apparel and luxury stocks. They're the worst performing industry overall.
As we head to the open Walmart obviously a giant company,
they get a bulk of their products from China. Caterpillar
and Boeing, they see a lot of sales from there
(32:29):
that's dropping this morning.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
But Apple is.
Speaker 9 (32:31):
One of the notable movers because they're definitely finding themselves
in the crosshairs of these new tariffs and that's going
to hit the company's supply chain in manufacturing centers around
the world.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Okay, so our sixteen hundred dollars phone's not going to
be twenty five hundred dollars.
Speaker 9 (32:44):
Great, No, Well, the thing about Apple is, you know
they moved some of their some of their production and
manufacturing center out of China, moved into other countries thinking okay,
well we're going to avoid this first time around, and look,
it ends up pinning them because they pretty much have
no manufacturing at all in the United States. So that's
one of the issues why to be able to move
(33:07):
a supply chain like that back to the United States
is going to be really tough. And now the big
question with these tariffs is are these going companies going
to hold on to this or is this going to
get passed on to the consumer. So there's a lot
of questions out there. This is why we're seeing the
markets reacting the way that they are. And it seems
across the board from a lot of people that I've
(33:27):
been talking to on Wall Street, this is going to
be tough.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Okay, well, and we'll be watching it.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
We're going to get in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho,
thank you so much. We'll talk to you again tomorrow
and see what that wild ride is like for tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
Have a better date than the markets. All right, thanks Courtney.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour news for more protections
and rights for fast food workers in LA could soon
be extended.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Workers from the fast food industry crowded city hall to
make their case. Councilman Isabelle Herado says paid time off,
paid training, to educate them on their rights and mandating
reliable scheduling is important for fast food employment.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
We're fighting for these jobs so that they can have
a predictable schedule, that they'll know their rights, so that
they keep their jobs.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
The La City Council has voted to have the City
Attorney draft and ordinance enhancing the city's Fair Workweek Ordinance
to make it more applicable to fast food workers. Michael
Monks KFI News.

he was found guilty in Delaware federal court of lying
about his drug use when buying a gun. Steven Spielberg
(34:43):
and George Lucas are at the top of Forbes' list
of celebrity billionaires. Spielberg, according to the new list, is
worth five point three billion dollars. Lucas is not far behind,
worth five point one billion. Michael Jordan, Oprah Winfrey, and
wrestling mogul Vin S. McMahon round out the top five.
Eighteen celebrities made the list. LA City Council's unanimously approved
(35:07):
emotion to work on a plan to extend protections for
fast food employees. Supporters call it a significant step in
providing fast food workers with stable scheduling and paid time off.
A coalition of restaurant owners says putting more mandates on
owners could hurt workers, small businesses, and.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Customers because of higher prices.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
President Trump announced a reciprocal tariffs against some sixty countries
during a Rose Garden ceremony. Trump says trading partners have looted, pillaged,
and raped American industries for decades. Critics claim the reciprocal
tariffs are unfair and could lead to hyper inflation. Amazon's

e commerce giants admitted the bid through an offer letter

Speaker 3 (36:08):

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Just a few days away from the Wiggle Wagga Walk
for Pasadena Humane. So let's say good morning to Pasadena Humans.
Kevin McManus, Kevin, We're just just a couple of days
away before we all go to the dogs.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
I know, I'm really excited, So tell her.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Tell us about the walk for anybody who may not
be familiar, if they haven't heard me talking about it a.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Lot on Waco, call, Well, the Wigga Wagga Walking Run
is our biggest fundraiser at the year, excuse me. And
we have basically a big dog walk at the Rose
Bowl and then you know kind of like a fun
you know, vendor event and booths and doggy costume contests
all that kind of stuff at Brookside Park. So it's Sunday,
(36:53):
April sixth, from nine to eleven. And yeah, you don't
need a dog to you know, participate, but it's a
little bit more fun if you do. Yep.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
And last year you said kind of all all walks
of dogs are welcome. We had a lot of dogs
last year that came in strollers like they just couldn't
make the walks, so they got pushed around the route.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
So all dogs are welcome, right of course.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Yeah. Yeah, Obviously, if your dog is uncomfortable with other dogs,
maybe this isn't the best event for him or her.
But other than that, yeah, every dog is welcome. You know,
there's two options for walking. There's the five mile or sorry,
the five k the three mile loop around the entire
Rose Bowl, and then there's a one mile loop, which
a lot of the smaller dogs or older dogs are
(37:38):
those in strollers choose to take. But a lot of
fun things for pet owners, a lot of great vendors.
This year. Subaru has this cool activation they're doing and
they're they're sponsoring all the adoptions that happened at our
Wiggle Waggle Wagon this year, which is really cool.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
So you're gonna have dogs out on site again this year.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
That's right, You have adoptable dogs. Yeah, so, and there
some of them will be walking with our volunteers and
I obviously decked out so you know who's who. But yeah,
if you're looking for a dog, now was a great
time too.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
And as we've talked about before last year, I got
to walk this beautiful Doberman pincher and had some volunteers
with me to make sure that everything went well.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
But she was just awesome.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
And I had somebody on the walk who didn't have
a dog, and they were asking me about her and
they ended up adopting her. I mean, so do you
just even if you show up without a dog, you
might go home with one. That's one of the great
things of Wiggle Waggle Walk.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
And I would have tap my eye on one for you. Amy,
I've got my eye on a dog right now. He's
gonna be perfect. If he's still arrived, he isn't adopted
by then he's your dog.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Oh okay, yay, I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
I miss having a dog and I love to get
to have one just for a couple of hours. And
then the costume contest is always so much fun, Like
a lot of dogs dress up for this and you
have a whole contest going.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
So many it's crazy and people go all out. You know,
it's one of my favorite parts. Just like I've overwhelmed
with people's creativity and how they can you know, dress out,
how can they get their dogs to put on a costume,
which is also a feat but then yeah, the creativity
that goes into some of these costings, that's really stunning.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Okay, So Kevin, let's talk about because we know that
you said it's the biggest fundraiser. We know that you're
asking people to take their hard earned money and donate
it to Pasadena Humane. So let's talk about what the
money that we donate and what the money we raise
is going to do. Well.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
It helps us with all of our programs that we
do throughout the year. So that's our Animal ICU, which
was kind of, you know, really highlighted during the fire,
caring for animals that were entered and burned in the fire,
our foster care program, argument education programs, are Wildlife like
all of the things that we do for the animals
(39:53):
in our community that gets funding directly from events like this.
So that's why we you know, we know people have
been overwhelmingly supporting us for the last few months because
of the fire, but we're asking for just a little
bit more because this will help us do what we
do all year long.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Yeah, and if you.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Want to see some of what they do, we posted
on Instagram after we came and visited you after the fires,
and it's at Amy k King. But Kevin took us
into one of the operating rooms and we got to
see one of the little cats who was being treated
and some of them that are that were on the
road to repair after they were burned in that awful fire.
(40:34):
And then are you still boarding some of the animals
or is everybody.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
Back in their homes.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
We still have about one hundred and forty animals that
we're caring for, and you know, that's definitely like a
long term need as well, just kind of so that
unfortunately that is expensive. We're not charging any of the
pet owners anything, you know, we know that they're going
through a lot and have lost homes. But yeah, so
we're caring for their pets until they can you know,
(41:02):
make the next step in their you know, journey to recovery,
which you know, it actually impacts the shelter a lot
because we you know, a lot, a good chunk of
those are still at the shelter itself. We have a
lunch in foster homes too, but you know, it makes
us you know, just kind of every dog that comes in,
we're already like we need to have a plan on
how to get that dog adopted. So it's a lot
(41:25):
of pressure right now for us because of that, but
you know, we're making the best of it. When you know,
obviously we're going to be there for the community for
as long as it takes.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
And I know that we're talking about dogs for this
weekend because of the Wiggle Waggle Walk, but it's almost
kitten season, so keep that in mind.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
Oh yeah, yeah, for sure. We've already gotten letters of
kittens in and we have a kitten shower coming up
in a couple of weeks which will be a fun event.
But so people are interested in fostering kittens, that's a
really good opportunity and a good way for us to
kind of share the share the load of caring for
the the thousands of kittens that we'll get in.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
Okay, And if they are interested in fostering or something,
can they just go to Pasadena Humane.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
The website exactly, yeah, or if they're at the walk,
I know the foster team will be there with an
informational tablet.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
Kevin McManus with Pasadena Humane can't wait to see you
on Sunday. It's the Wiggle Waggle Walk for Pasadena Humane
And if you would like to join our team. We
would love to have you come walk for it with us,
and of course we would love to take your donation.

All right, take care.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. President Trump is
imposed new tariffs on all imported goods and released a
detailed list of the reciprocal duties, targeting more than sixty countries.

We're standing up for the American worker, and we are
finally putting America first.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
He called yesterday Liberation Day for the US, saying trading
partners of looted, pillaged, and raped American industries for decks gates,
leading to a loss of US jobs and manufacturing.
Speaker 10 (43:02):
Our country and its taxpayers have been ripped off for
more than fifty years. But it is not going to
happen anymore.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
It's not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
The tariffs are based on what other countries charged the
US to import products, and in many cases are lower.
