Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call
with Me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
KFI hand kost HB two, Los Angeles, Orange County, and.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King.
It is five o'clock, straight up.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
This is your wake up call for Friday, November seventh.
Good morning, I'm Amy King. Ready to get the day started.
It seemed like a short week for me because I
was off on Monday. So you know how that just
message you all up for the rest of the week
in a good way. Very happy about it.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
That's gonna see. No, I'm not complaining at all.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
There's no reason to campaign complain. It's gonna be a
beautiful day. Although we'll just got in and he said,
I could barely find the studio. It is a little
foggy out there in areas. But then like I was
driving in and it was just like thick fog, and
then ten seconds later it was clear sky.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
So it's patcheckau for sure.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Patch Yeah, so if you hit it, just be careful.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
All right, let's get to it. Here's what's head on
wake up call.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Flights at LAX have already been canceled and delayed as
forty airports around the country braced for a ten percent
cutback in air traffic. The number of flights is being
reduced as more and more air traffic controllers call in sick,
creating staffing shortages during the government shutdown, which is in
its thirty eighth day. Survivors of the Eden and Palisades
(01:36):
fires have urged Governor Newsom to call for the resignation
of California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara. The request comes after
a new report showed a deal struck in twenty twenty
three between the commissioner and insurers resulted in more policyholders
actually being.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Dropped ahead of January's fires.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
A man who led police on a chase and a
stolen car has been rescued after a fell into a
thirty foot deep hole in Lincoln Heights. The LAPD says
the guy bailed from a car last night, then fell
into the four foot wide construction hole as he tried
to run away. LA Fire's Urban Search and Rescue team
had to pull him out. He's in critical condition. Tom
(02:16):
Brady has a phone dog, and, just like a scene
out of the Jetson's personal robots are headed into homes.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
What's in store for the future.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
We're going to find out with futureist Kevin Sirelli coming
up in just a minute.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Can't wait to talk to him. Lights Camera Action.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
The host of Home on KFI, Dean Sharp's going to
join us at five twenty to tell us how lighting
can take your home to a whole new level. With
airlines cutting back flights by ten percent all over the
US starting today, flight tracking app Flighties Paul Barnard Bernardini
joins us to tell us how to navigate the mess,
avoid delays, and get where you need to go. I
(02:52):
think that's going to be very useful information, especially well
if you're flying and it just seems like yesterday.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
The Dodgers the World Series, you can relive the glory.
We'll tell you how.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Coming up on Wake Up Call, Let's get started with
some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
four hour newsroom. Airports in California bracing for flight disruptions
as the FAA reduces air traffic at forty airports around
the US because of the shutdown. LAX, along with four
other airports in California, will be seeing flights cut as
part of a nationwide move expected to affect up to
(03:24):
eighteen hundred flights a day. President Trump's Americans should still
feel safe flying.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
As Sean Duffy and as they cutting in certain areas
ten percent, and they want to make sure it's one
hundred percent safe. That's why they're doing.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Air traffic controllers have been working without pay for thirty
eight days and there's no end in sight. News brought
to you by ruterhroo dot com. People in Altadena are
set to release new findings from a study they say
shows thousands of homes are unsafe to live in, even
though they've been assured it's okay to move back in.
ABC's Alex Stone says it's because of dangerous toxins and
(04:03):
poisonous chemicals.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Even if a home did not burn in January's wildfires,
many had damage or their interiors were filled with smoke
and ash.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
It comes as people who lived in the Palisades and
Eaten fire zones are pushing for the insurance Commissioner to resign,
as they say he allegedly made deals with insurance companies
that allowed them to cancel policies. A man from Pennsylvania's
been arrested for allegedly threatening to kill Congressman Robert Garcia.
Garcia's office says US Capitol police arrested the man on Tuesday.
(04:33):
Officials say the man said he was going to travel
to DC to kill the Congressman. Garcia, who represents the
Long Beach area, was in California at the time and
is safe. Buying a home in LA still out of
reach for most families. New numbers from the California Association
of Rilcher shows just sixteen percent of La Metro area
households could afford the eight hundred and thirty seven thousand
(04:55):
dollars median home price in the third quarter. That's up
just slightly from earlier this year, home prices statewide dipped
two percent from the previous quarter, but are still up
nearly one percent compared to last year. Experts say lower
mortgage rates helped bring some buyers back, though affordability remains
far below national levels you think. Golden Globes organizers have
(05:18):
announced that the Queen will receive the Cecil B. De
Mille Award at the Golden Globe Awards in January. The
Globe says Helen Mirren will be honored for her decades
of work on screen and in television. I love her.
I first saw her in one of my favorite movies,
Calendar Girls. Yeah it was a while ago. That was
a fun one.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Let's say good morning now too.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
The host of Hello Future on iHeartMedia's premier network, futurist
Kevin Sirelli.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Good morning, Kevin, Good morning.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
How's your future looking.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Well, you're going to be the determiner of that, so
let's look at it.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Let's take a little look into the future.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Although it looks like the future has arrived for some
we know that a long time ago they cloned a
sheep named Dolly, but now it's becoming much more mainstream.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Tom Brady has a cloned dog.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Not only has Tom Brady cloned his old dead pet, Lewa,
which he, by the way, had with his ex wife Giselle,
but he invested in Colossal Biosciences, which is the company
behind it. So he's joining the life of Paris Hilton
who and these people and celebrities who are cloning their pet.
They love their dogs so much that they want to
clone their pet to just have something that looks exactly
(06:35):
like it, but it's not really their old pet because
Obviously a clone is different with personality and everything and
life factors, but it is part of a growing trend.
You mentioned Dolly, and that alludes to the agriculture implications
of this. So it's not just pets that can be cloned,
but think of agricultural cloning farms and all of the
(06:56):
implications that that has and the ethical questions that this
raises is all.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Well, what's wrong with the old fashion way. It's not
like they have trouble reproducing sheep, right.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Well, that's a great point. It's a great, great point.
And then there's people who say breeders for pets should
not be even something that should be allowed because obviously
there's so many dogs that need to be rescued. But
the future is here. We are getting closer and closer
to Jurassic Park.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
And here's another thought. If you're cloning a dog that's
like this great dog, what if somebody else clones it
and then you guys end up having the same.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Dog, well exactly, or what if you had a robot pet,
which is something that has been introduced as well. My
dog is staring at me right now, looking at me
like I am crazy and I can't read theo's mind.
But I would imagine he's telling me that I will
he will never be cloned, or he'll haunt me, and
he will never be replaced by a robot.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I think it's interesting too, Kevin, when you start thinking
about it, Because I was thinking about what we were
going to talk about today and I was like, well, well,
what if the new cloned pet isn't like the old one?
And if it's just cloned, is their risk that the
owner won't have that same affection toward it or will
not have the same attachment to it.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Because it's not the actual dog. It's a copy of
the dog, and I.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Kind of want to have I mean, I love my dog,
but every dog is a different chapter of a human's life.
And so part of the questions that we go into
on the show Hello Future, on the iHeart app is
we talk about not just the science and the technology
behind this, but the real human questions that we as
a society and a culture are having to grapple with.
(08:35):
Because if we can just clone a dog, does it
really give the same imprint that the og dog do
to you? And if we can upload consciousness or have
the holograms of our deceased loved ones to activate our memories?
Is that really the same thing? Is that enhancing our
humanness anyway? And I think that that has to be
(08:57):
the question that guides all of these technology conversations.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yeah, and like things like blocking grief, like if you
we'll just make a new one so you don't have
to grieve, and that kind of stuff. And I know
that you have to go. And we didn't even get
to talk about robots. I'm hoping we can revisit that
because there's so much to dive into this little rabbit hole.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
So Kevin Cirelli always.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Love talking about robots. Next week for sure.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Kevin Cirelli is the host of Hello Future on iHeartMedia's
premier network. Thanks so much, Kevin. So interesting and wait
till you hear about what the robots are doing. All right,
let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour news room. The Trump
administration is planning to appeal the latest ruling from a
judge in the fight over funding snap during the government shutdown.
(09:40):
ABC's Nicole d Antonio says the judge has ordered the
administration to provide full SNAP benefits to states by today.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
The administration had previously said it would use emergency funds
to only partially fund the benefits.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
About forty two million people get SNAP funds. In California,
it's about five million, and their distributed through cal Fresh
More evidence being collected from the crash site where the
UPS cargo plane went down in Kentucky. ABC's Mola Lnghi
says thirteen people died, most of them on the ground
after the plane hid an industrial area near the airport
(10:15):
in Louisville.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Investigators now combing through the half mile long debris field
for clues, extracting evidence from the charred flight data and
cockpit voice recorders.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
The plane had gotten to about four hundred and fifty
feet off the ground going two hundred ten miles per
hour before it crashed. The FBI says some criminals are
now pretending to be ICE agents. ABT's Aaron Katirski says
it's making it hard for people to tell the difference
between legitimate law enforcement and criminals.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
ESBI says that this follows the increase that we've been
following now since the start of the Trump administration in
ICE enforcement actions across the country.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
In one instance, criminals posing as ICE agents robbed a
restaurant in New York, and in another a woman was
kidnapped in Florida. China is growing its naval power. ABC's
Carson U says the Chinese have commissioned their most advanced
homegrown aircraft carrier.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
It's named Fujian, is the.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Country's third and largest carrier and the first to use
electromagnetic catapults similar to the US Navy's USS jure r Ford.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
He says it's nuclear powered, and China plans to have
up to six of those carriers by twenty thirty five.
Elon Musk could soon make history.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
The world's richest man has the chance to become the
first trillionaire. Elon Musk one shareholder vote yesterday that would
give the Tesla CEO stock worth one trillion dollars if
you hit certain performance targets over the next decade. The
vote followed weeks of debate over his management record and
whether anyone deserves such unprecedented pay, drawing heated commentary from
(11:48):
small investors to giant pension funds and even the Pope.
Deporah mark Koffi News.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
If you're feeling stressed, maybe you should move.
Speaker 8 (11:57):
My new study says Alaska is the most stressed state
in the US. Crime, suicide rate, cost of living, clean environment,
and extreme poverty made up the scores. Alaska's disconnect from
the rest of the US made it number one with
a high suicide rate and filthy air. New Mexico with
its high crime in Louisiana with its poverty, round out
the worst three. Massachusetts was the least stressed state with
(12:18):
its low crime and clean air, followed by New Jersey
with its low suicide rate. In New Hampshire with its
low poverty. California came in right in the middle of
twenty four with a lower suicide rate but a higher
cost of living. Michael Krozier kf I News.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
That Alaska thing's a little bit surprising. I mean, I
can see maybe the suicide rate, but the dirty air.
I was in Alaska's beautiful all right.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
It was such a.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Thrill to hear the final call as the Dodgers won
the World Series for the second year in a row.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
The Dodgers cement their dynasty. They win Game seven and
Xtrainnings five for.
Speaker 9 (12:54):
The funnel they map Yamamoto on.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
The left side of the Mound Classic finish to a
seven game series. The Dodgers become the first team in
Major League Baseball in twenty five years to repeat as
World Series champions.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Uh what a series it was.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
This afternoon at three, you can relive the memories of
World Series Games seven as your Dodgers come back to
back World champs. Listen to the game on AM five
to seventy LA Sports and on the iHeartRadio app presented
in part by Budweiser. This Bud's for you, three o'clock
this afternoon, Game seven of the World Series. It's gonna
be like deja vus. Thanks for starting your day with us.
(13:39):
One more day to the weekend, doing anything fun. I'm
actually headed up to Pasa Robles or Robeless, however you
want to say it. I've heard it both ways. But
heading up, we're going to do a wine walk. Yeah,
it's like a mile of walk and then wine tasting.
How perfect is that?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Okay, here's what we're following. In the KF twenty four
hour newsroom. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says flights will be
reduced by ten percent at forty airports across the country,
including Lax starting today because of staffing shortages caused by
the government shutdown. Duffy says this will help keep the
skies safe and help the controllers who have been working
without pay deal with fatigue. A trial date of April
(14:22):
twenty first has been set for the former Uber driver
accused of starting a fire on New Year's Eve that
exploded into the Palisades Fire a week later. Jonathan rinderneckt
remains in custody. He's expected to ask to be released
while awaiting trial. Next hearing is set for November eighteenth.
The Lazoo is celebrating the arrival of its first baby
(14:43):
orangutan in nearly fifteen years. The baby boy, born Ian Orangutan,
was born to forty three year old mother Kamlin and
thirty one year old father Esam on October tenth. The
baby orangutan can be seen at the zoo's Red Ape Rainforest.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
They are so cute.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Let's say good morning now to the host of home
on KFI, Dean Sharp.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Good morning, Dean.
Speaker 10 (15:06):
Hey, you know what. Passal ROBO's one of my favorite
towns mine too. It's a great place. Have you been
to Censorio up there? That are installation with Dama lights.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
No, I want to do that, but we when I
go up there, we tend to just do a lot
of wine tasting.
Speaker 10 (15:21):
You're like, after two hours up there, I don't even
know where I'm at.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Exactly, but that's on my list because it's like a
light show and it's on the rolling hills outside of town.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
It's supposed to be just spectacular.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
It really is.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
It's really beautiful.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Okay, So speaking of lighting, let's talk about lighting.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
And you're going to be talking about lighting all weekend.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Uh yeah, we are.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
On Sunday especially, we're going to be taking a look
at the holidays again and your home. And I've got
some I don't want to say hacks, because they're not hacks.
They're permanent things. But there are a lot of things
we can do to what I would call kind of
the big three of things and prepping for the holidays,
other than painting and stuff, which we've already talked about.
(16:01):
But you think about the holidays and you think, well, okay,
what are we doing. We're eating. So there's a review
of some new appliance technology from twenty twenty five. If
you're thinking about changing out, you know, your ovens or
things like that, we're probably watching games or we're watching
movies together. So I want to talk to everybody about
how to upgrade your home theater experience without you know,
(16:25):
breaking the bank. And then there's just generally setting the
mood in the house, which is lighting.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
And there are a.
Speaker 10 (16:31):
Lot of things that people can do a lot more
than they think without calling an electrician, without having to
rewire or tear up balls or anything like that, to
really change the vibe of how things feel in the house.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Okay, so let's talk about that a little bit, since
I like the idea of not having to call in
an electrician and being able to make some changes that
just really kind of amp up the house.
Speaker 10 (16:54):
So here's probably the number one thing, the biggest impact
that most people could could have on their lighting, and
that is, you know, everybody's got recess can lighting. And
I would say without you know, this is a non
scientific survey, but I've been in lots and lots and
lots of homes. I would say the majority of maybe
(17:15):
ninety five percent of the homes that I've been in
with recess can lighting built by contractors and so on,
have the recess can lights in the wrong place. They're
down lights and they're lighting floor areas, and like the
recess cans are going straight down the hallwave lighting up
the floor in the wrong place, not placed by a
lighting designer, and so we got a lot of glare.
(17:37):
And for all that's going on up there in the ceiling,
it ain't accomplishing much in the room. And what a
lot of people don't realize is there are two parts
to a recessed can light. There's the part that's embedded
in the house, in the dry wall and built into
the framing structure of the house, and then there's the
part that you see, which is the bulb, and what's
holding the bulb is what we call the trim. And
(18:00):
the trim can slide right out. You got on a
step ladder, you can just pull it right down. You
pull it right out of its can housing, and there's
a little clip that either unscrews or unplugs, and then
the whole trim assembly comes out. And those trim assemblies
for every recess can housing out there, there are multiple
multiple trims that can be put in. And one of
(18:21):
the biggest tricks that we do in order to improve
lighting in a house without rewiring it doesn't take an
electrician to do this. It's as simple as screwing in
a light bulb, which is replacing the trims standard down
light trims with what we call a gimbal trim, which
is an aimable light. Basically in the old days, we
used to call it like an eyeball socket, but they
(18:42):
look very different now it's an aimable light. And let's
just take your hallway for instance. Instead of those lights
going straight down the center of the hallway pointing right
down to the floor, now we're going to take those
lights and we're going to aim them at the walls
where you've got pictures hanging, artwork and stuff like that,
and it's going to be in direct light on the floor.
(19:03):
And we're going to turn that hallway and the whole
house for this matter, into a gallery instead of throwing
that light wasting it by throwing it straight down onto
the floor. Which all of this follows what I've preached
for years, which is the number one rule of lighting design.
And if you can remember this and apply it to
(19:24):
your home, it'll change your world.
Speaker 11 (19:26):
And that is this.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
We don't light rooms, we light things. Ah.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
I like that because and you know what you said,
when you were talking about just throwing down the lights
into the middle of the hallway, it made me think
of the hallways in Severance. I don't know why, like
it's just cold and industrial all it is.
Speaker 10 (19:42):
It is it's the worst kind of light. You know,
they use that kind of lighting in severance. It's like
office warehouse lighting, direct light overhead, just down into a room.
It's absolutely the worst kind of lighting you'll you'd be
hard pressed to find any photographer anywhere who would ever
want to take a picture of you in that kind
of lighting. And so what we want to do is
we want to throw light against things. You've got things
(20:05):
in your home. You've got furniture, you've got art on
the walls, you've got family photos, you've got your fireplace mantle,
I mean, you name it. We goes on and on.
I want to light up those things and then let
that light bounce in directly off of them into the
rest of the room. It creates interest, it creates highlights,
It creates shadows, and shadows are key. I think a
(20:25):
lot of people think the right way to light their
room is to get rid of all the shadows. But
if you do that, then you just have a big flat,
blank space. Shadows are the key to texture and mood
and all of that, and so this is just one
of those steps. And these trims, you know, depending on
the kind of trim that you get there, maybe they're
twenty to thirty dollars a piece per down light, which
(20:47):
is not cheap, but when you think about it, it's
just something you can go buy at the store and
come home and put in yourself, and it.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Can make you happy.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I love when you do something in your house and
you go, wow, that just looks so much better. And
that is just one of the great tips that you're
going to hear from Dean this weekend. Can't wait to
hear more, and you can do that from six to
eight tomorrow on Home with Dean Sharp right here on KFI,
and nine to noon on Sunday again it's Home with
(21:16):
Dean Sharp right here on KFI. You can also follow
Dean at Home with Dean. He puts up great tips
on that site too. Thank you Dean Sharp, Thank you

are pushing for the state Insurance Commissioner to resign.
Speaker 11 (21:30):
They say.

A recent investigative article by The New York Times was
the last straw detailing loopholes provided to insurance companies that
led to thousands of policies being canceled. Eton fire survivor
Joy Chen says even neighbors with fire insurance aren't being
helped enough.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Get in your business, as we do every morning at
five point forty with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini. Denise, let's talk shutdown.
We've been talking about it a lot today. Yeah, I
mean it's really painful. It's painful to hear about, and
it's very stressful too for all these passengers who think
they're flying but they're not sure. They wonder what their
airline's going to tell them, as you've been talking about,
(26:20):
when they're going to tell them, how they're going to
know if they have, you know, a layover, what's going
to happen during their layover, if they'll actually even be
able to get there.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Here's what we know so far.
Speaker 13 (26:30):
Of the some twenty five thousand flights scheduled for today,
fewer than three percent have actually been canceled, a United
scrapping five hundred and ten flights through Sunday for example.
Right now, it's more akin to a snowstorm or a stretch. Well,
I guess you don't get snowstorms there, not really bad weather.
I should say that a catastrophic breakdown. That's the word
(26:52):
from Tom Fitzgerald. He's an analyst at T. D. Collen
and that's what he told us here at Bloomberg. But
he says the big factor will be how long this life.
Former New Hampshire Governor Christ Nunu, President in chief exec
now of the industry trade group Airlines for America, says
more than three point four million passengers were already impacted
(27:12):
by all the delays and the cancelations related to the
staffing shortages from the shutdown, even before the word came
that they were going to have to scale back on flights.
So even though you know, an analyst can sit there
and say, well, from the airline industry, if this doesn't
last a long time, it might not be a huge
big deal for them.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
It's hurts for passengers.
Speaker 13 (27:32):
I mean just the air traffic control issues alone, and
all those problems already affecting millions of people. And we
haven't even started the holiday season yet.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Well, hopefully they'll get it resolved before then, but we'll see.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Okay, So I love using.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
My credit card that has perks with cash back or
miles or stuff, but apparently it's hard to navigate them.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
This just happened to me yesterday.
Speaker 13 (27:56):
I was trying to use an Airbnb credit that I
know I loaded onto airbnbe. Now I can't find it
on airbnbn. When I went back to look at the
emails from the credit card that gave us this credit,
I can't find that either. And I can't log in.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
On the account anymore for some reason, because it's been closed.
Speaker 13 (28:12):
And apparently some consumers spend hours tracking and redeeming credits.
Some people are even using spreadsheets amy to keep track.
Wells the story about this couple, Eric and Charlene May.
They have fourteen credit cards. Okay, they pay about twenty
now twenty six hundred dollars in annual fees for these
(28:32):
fourteen cards. They got to keep track of them. They
have a color coded Google sheet that they use as
they redeem the dining, travel, and shopping credits, which they
get a lot of. But Eric May, who by the way,
works for a fintech company, says that you know they're
trying to go on a romantic date or whatever. Yeah,
but it's kind of a buzz amount of where you
(28:53):
have to you have to pull out your spreadsheet in
the middle of you know, the romantic marital data or whatever.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Yeah, okay, and.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
The blessing Apple is streaming service.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
I was watching Apple last night.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I was watching my morning show or not, yeah, the
morning show, and I didn't have any trouble, but some
people did.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (29:11):
And the thing is that new series Pluribus right from
the creator of Breaking Bad, appears to be pretty popular.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Apple streaming services back up and running.
Speaker 13 (29:20):
It went down for some users cross continent last night
after the debut of that news series, and the issue
also affected Apple's music and arcade services. Obviously not great
for Apple right that it had this outage, especially they're
trying to do more sporting events or whatever, and they
keep having some issues. But it is interesting that this
series Pluribus is showing early signs.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Of being a huge hit.
Speaker 13 (29:42):
Might have to check out so many people wat you
also one hundred percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes nine point
two out of ten on IMDb, So yeah, I might
have to check it out.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Checking that out too, all right?
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Getting in your business with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegreney like we
do every weekday morning.

We'll talk to you on Monday. Thanks Denise, so great weekend.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Survivors of the Eton and Palisades fires have urged Governor
Newsom to call for the resignation of California's insurance commissioner.
The request comes after a new report showed a deal
struck in twenty twenty three between the commissioner and insurers
resulted in more policy holders being.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Dropped ahead of January's fires.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
More than half the homes still standing in Altadena have
been contaminated with lead, a third of them have asbestos contamination.
The homes are still contaminated despite extensive efforts to clean
up ash from the Eaten fire in January. Any level
of exposure to lead or asbestos can cause adverse health effects,
and researchers have developed an antibody therapy to fight one
(30:41):
of the most deadly forms of cancer.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
This is really cool.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Researchers at Chicago's Northwestern Medicine say. The antibody reawakens the
immune system that blocks pancreatic tumors from basically hiding from
the immune system. It has slowed tumor growth in mice,
and the team is refining the antibody to be used
in human studies.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Let's say good.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Morning now to the head of marketing for the flight
tracking app Flighty, Paul Bernardini.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Good morning, Paul, morning Amy.
Speaker 11 (31:08):
How are you well.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I'm good because I'm not flying today, but a lot
of people who are could be in for well, some
headaches and some frustrations because we have flight reductions, and
you have some tips and trips to help us avoid
some of the delays and headaches.
Speaker 11 (31:29):
Yeah, I mean, look, this is an unusual time in
the travel industry. I mean, on a normal day, about
twenty percent of flights are delayed, and with the ten
percent cut across these forty airports that the FA has listed,
you know, we're expecting thirty maybe forty percent delays and
that doesn't account for cancelations. On a normal can. On
a normal flighting day, cancelations are typically aroun one hundred
(31:50):
and fifty two hundred per airline. We're going to reach
close to a thousands not today, so there is going
to be it is going to happen in a phased approach,
But then this continues into next week, it'll be we'll
be close to three to four thousand cancelations a day.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Okay, Yeah, and I just I just heard that too,
because we've been talking about the ten percent, but it's
going to start with like four percent percent reductions and
then it's going to go up incrementally until it hits ten.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Percent next week.
Speaker 11 (32:17):
That's correct.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Okay, So what are some of the things that we
can do, Paul, to help avoid or alleviate or reduce
some of the frustrations that we're going to be facing
if we're flying.
Speaker 11 (32:30):
Yeah, So one thing I always recommend the travelers one
is if you do get is your firflight does get canceled.
For one, A lot of airlines have already posted what
they plan to do in response to this. For example,
United is offering frefunds to all flights, whether they're canceled
or not. Like if you just don't want to be
part of it, you can, and if you're flying United
you can get that refund. And all other airlines have
(32:51):
posted similar things, So check into the airlines be sure
that you owe.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Sorry, Oh I said, that's great that they're doing that.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 11 (32:59):
That's really helpful for flyers. The other thing is if
you don't have a frequent flyer program with them, I
always encourage that get your information in there. It will
be easier on the back end if something does go
awry and you need to get help your system. Your
information is already there.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
You know.
Speaker 11 (33:14):
When it comes to delays, the number one reason for
delays generally is whether. The second reason for delays is
the is your inbound plane, So you're flying out of Lax.
If that plane is going through and routing through these
other forty airports that are being impacted and that plane
is getting delayed, those delays only trickle down and affect
(33:34):
your flight. So that's one thing that Flighty does for
all travelers in our app is that we will start
giving you real time alerts of where that plane is
today and if it's already delayed before your flight, so
you can start making some adjustments and decisions before your
plane is actually there.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I like that a lot because yeah, like technically the
Bourbank Airport is not affected by these reductions, but lax
is and Oak lay is and San Francisco is and
it flies to several of those, So if they're affected,
it's going to probably trickle down to smaller airports too,
And if you can keep track of that, that probably
(34:11):
would help. I mean, I think part of the frustration
too is that we just don't know, and we're kind
of at the mercy of the airlines and they don't
really tell you why it's delayed. I think we're going
to know why the delays are, but still it's it's frustrating.
So if they if you have the information, I think
it helps with your frustration.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
What about the exactly.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
What about the buying a backup ticket.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
I've heard that a couple of airlines said, oh, you
should buy another ticket on another airline just in case.
Speaker 11 (34:36):
What gosh, I mean, I don't know about I mean,
I'm not the person that's going to go buy three
or four plane tickets for the same flight and then
you have to manage the cancelations and delays like that
sounds like a nightmare. But I think everybody's going to
be cased by case. Your flight may may not be impacted.
Everything could be normal, Like we do need to see
today at the first day, and you know, airlines that
(34:58):
come out were expecting around six to seven hundred cancelations
across from like the Big four if you go American, Delta,
Southwest United and you know ATC towers have already issued
a lot of alerts that they do expect delays to
begin beginning around what is on nine am Central time,
so eight am or so, some delays are already going
to start to begin. And the same as I would
(35:20):
just say is you know, at least for us and
the flyers that are traveling with flighting, we're tapped. We're
tapped directly into that pilot and are not an airline
and we're not in the game the whole m.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Oh no, yeah, so say that again, what what flight
he's doing?
Speaker 11 (35:43):
Yeah, So what we do is we tap directly into
the data your pilot gets and we deliver that to
the second it happens. And so if your flight does
get delayed, you mentioned like it's so frustrating, Why am
I delayed? What's going wrong? We have directly into that
into that data and send it directly to you in
real time, so you know, Wayne advance. We often send
(36:04):
lars one to two hours before the airlines even tell
you and so, but that is a lot of flyers
to control back to, you know, make the decision, beat
the rush and rebook first.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Okay, all right, Paul Bernardini with a flight tracking app flighty.
I think that a lot of people are probably going
to be signing up for that. Thanks so much, Paul,
having a great day in flight. Say yeah, gosh, I'm
glad that they're starting it slow, so I think it
maybe isn't going to be quite the crush that we
think it's going to be.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
I guess you're gonna tell us on Monday, Well because
you're flying for you, Yeah, because where you're flying up
to the Bay Area from Bourbank over the weekend. All right,
well you'll have to keep us loaded.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
But yeah, I think checking with the airlines, and I
like that the airlines are offering the reefin if you
just want to say uh uh, I'm out, they're going
to let you cancel it and refund you because they
normally don't just refund you, right, all right, let's get
back to some of the stories coming out of the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A federal judge is ordered
to try administration to pay full November SNAP benefits by today.
(37:04):
In making the ruling, the judge in Rhode Island said
people have gone without for too long.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Vice President jad Advance is the Trump administration's appealing.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
It's an absurd ruling because you have a federal judge effectively.
Speaker 8 (37:16):
Telling us what we have to do in.
Speaker 11 (37:18):
The midst of a Democrat government shutdown, which.
Speaker 7 (37:20):
What we'd like to do is for the Democrats to
open up the government.
Speaker 15 (37:23):
Of course, then we can fund SNAP, and we can
also do a lot of other good things for the
American people.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
The Trump administration has planned to partially fund the food
stamp program for forty two million Americans. The judge ruled
that the government now must draw from additional USDA funds
so the states can deliver full SNAP benefits. Just sixteen
percent of people in the La Metro area can afford
to buy a house. The California Association of Realtors says
the median home price is eight hundred and thirty seven
(37:49):
thousand dollars for the Metro area in La County. The
median price is nine hundred and fifty four thousand, with
just twelve percent of households making enough to afford to
buy a house. That's down from thirteen percent in the
second quarter of the year. The home of one of
TV's most famous families could soon be an historic cultural landmark.
Speaker 9 (38:09):
The Brady Bunch House in Studio City was only used
for exterior shots. The rest of the show was made
at Paramount Studios, but Susan Olsen, who played Cindy Brady,
the youngest one in Curls, says the home matters to
a lot of people.
Speaker 12 (38:20):
The Brady House is the physical presence of an element
of Americana that reminds us of how good we can be,
how decent we can be, how wholesome we can strive
to be again.
Speaker 9 (38:29):
At least Cultural Heritage Commission agrees they've given the ok
for the official review process to begin. The inside of
the house now matches the old show thanks to an
HGTV project. Michael Monks KFI News, I love the.

That's gonna see. No, I'm not complaining at all.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
There's no reason to campaign complain. It's gonna be a
beautiful day. Although we'll just got in and he said,
I could barely find the studio. It is a little
foggy out there in areas. But then like I was
driving in and it was just like thick fog, and
then ten seconds later it was clear sky.

So it's patcheckau for sure.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Patch Yeah, so if you hit it, just be careful.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
All right, let's get to it. Here's what's head on
wake up call.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Flights at LAX have already been canceled and delayed as
forty airports around the country braced for a ten percent
cutback in air traffic. The number of flights is being
reduced as more and more air traffic controllers call in sick,
creating staffing shortages during the government shutdown, which is in
its thirty eighth day. Survivors of the Eden and Palisades
(01:36):
fires have urged Governor Newsom to call for the resignation
of California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara. The request comes after
a new report showed a deal struck in twenty twenty
three between the commissioner and insurers resulted in more policyholders

Speaker 1 (02:32):
The host of Home on KFI, Dean Sharp's going to
join us at five twenty to tell us how lighting
can take your home to a whole new level. With
airlines cutting back flights by ten percent all over the
US starting today, flight tracking app Flighties Paul Barnard Bernardini
joins us to tell us how to navigate the mess,
avoid delays, and get where you need to go. I
(02:52):
think that's going to be very useful information, especially well
if you're flying and it just seems like yesterday.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
The Dodgers the World Series, you can relive the glory.
We'll tell you how.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Coming up on Wake Up Call, Let's get started with
some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
four hour newsroom. Airports in California bracing for flight disruptions
as the FAA reduces air traffic at forty airports around
the US because of the shutdown. LAX, along with four
other airports in California, will be seeing flights cut as
part of a nationwide move expected to affect up to
(03:24):
eighteen hundred flights a day. President Trump's Americans should still
feel safe flying.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
As Sean Duffy and as they cutting in certain areas
ten percent, and they want to make sure it's one
hundred percent safe. That's why they're doing.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Air traffic controllers have been working without pay for thirty
eight days and there's no end in sight. News brought
to you by ruterhroo dot com. People in Altadena are
set to release new findings from a study they say
shows thousands of homes are unsafe to live in, even
though they've been assured it's okay to move back in.
ABC's Alex Stone says it's because of dangerous toxins and
(04:03):
poisonous chemicals.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Even if a home did not burn in January's wildfires,
many had damage or their interiors were filled with smoke
and ash.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
It comes as people who lived in the Palisades and
Eaten fire zones are pushing for the insurance Commissioner to resign,
as they say he allegedly made deals with insurance companies
that allowed them to cancel policies. A man from Pennsylvania's
been arrested for allegedly threatening to kill Congressman Robert Garcia.
Garcia's office says US Capitol police arrested the man on Tuesday.
(04:33):
Officials say the man said he was going to travel
to DC to kill the Congressman. Garcia, who represents the
Long Beach area, was in California at the time and
is safe. Buying a home in LA still out of
reach for most families. New numbers from the California Association
of Rilcher shows just sixteen percent of La Metro area
households could afford the eight hundred and thirty seven thousand
(04:55):
dollars median home price in the third quarter. That's up
just slightly from earlier this year, home prices statewide dipped
two percent from the previous quarter, but are still up
nearly one percent compared to last year. Experts say lower
mortgage rates helped bring some buyers back, though affordability remains
far below national levels you think. Golden Globes organizers have
(05:18):
announced that the Queen will receive the Cecil B. De
Mille Award at the Golden Globe Awards in January. The
Globe says Helen Mirren will be honored for her decades
of work on screen and in television. I love her.
I first saw her in one of my favorite movies,
Calendar Girls. Yeah it was a while ago. That was
a fun one.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Let's say good morning now too.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
The host of Hello Future on iHeartMedia's premier network, futurist
Kevin Sirelli.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Good morning, Kevin, Good morning.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
How's your future looking.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Well, you're going to be the determiner of that, so
let's look at it.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Let's take a little look into the future.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Although it looks like the future has arrived for some
we know that a long time ago they cloned a
sheep named Dolly, but now it's becoming much more mainstream.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Tom Brady has a cloned dog.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Not only has Tom Brady cloned his old dead pet, Lewa,
which he, by the way, had with his ex wife Giselle,
but he invested in Colossal Biosciences, which is the company
behind it. So he's joining the life of Paris Hilton
who and these people and celebrities who are cloning their pet.
They love their dogs so much that they want to
clone their pet to just have something that looks exactly
(06:35):
like it, but it's not really their old pet because
Obviously a clone is different with personality and everything and
life factors, but it is part of a growing trend.
You mentioned Dolly, and that alludes to the agriculture implications
of this. So it's not just pets that can be cloned,
but think of agricultural cloning farms and all of the
(06:56):
implications that that has and the ethical questions that this
raises is all.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Well, what's wrong with the old fashion way. It's not
like they have trouble reproducing sheep, right.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Well, that's a great point. It's a great, great point.
And then there's people who say breeders for pets should
not be even something that should be allowed because obviously
there's so many dogs that need to be rescued. But
the future is here. We are getting closer and closer
to Jurassic Park.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
And here's another thought. If you're cloning a dog that's
like this great dog, what if somebody else clones it
and then you guys end up having the same.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Dog, well exactly, or what if you had a robot pet,
which is something that has been introduced as well. My
dog is staring at me right now, looking at me
like I am crazy and I can't read theo's mind.
But I would imagine he's telling me that I will
he will never be cloned, or he'll haunt me, and
he will never be replaced by a robot.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I think it's interesting too, Kevin, when you start thinking
about it, Because I was thinking about what we were
going to talk about today and I was like, well, well,
what if the new cloned pet isn't like the old one?
And if it's just cloned, is their risk that the
owner won't have that same affection toward it or will
not have the same attachment to it.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Because it's not the actual dog. It's a copy of
the dog, and I.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Kind of want to have I mean, I love my dog,
but every dog is a different chapter of a human's life.
And so part of the questions that we go into
on the show Hello Future, on the iHeart app is
we talk about not just the science and the technology
behind this, but the real human questions that we as
a society and a culture are having to grapple with.
(08:35):
Because if we can just clone a dog, does it
really give the same imprint that the og dog do
to you? And if we can upload consciousness or have
the holograms of our deceased loved ones to activate our memories?
Is that really the same thing? Is that enhancing our
humanness anyway? And I think that that has to be
(08:57):
the question that guides all of these technology conversations.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yeah, and like things like blocking grief, like if you
we'll just make a new one so you don't have
to grieve, and that kind of stuff. And I know
that you have to go. And we didn't even get
to talk about robots. I'm hoping we can revisit that
because there's so much to dive into this little rabbit hole.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
So Kevin Cirelli always.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Love talking about robots. Next week for sure.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Kevin Cirelli is the host of Hello Future on iHeartMedia's
premier network. Thanks so much, Kevin. So interesting and wait
till you hear about what the robots are doing. All right,
let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour news room. The Trump
administration is planning to appeal the latest ruling from a
judge in the fight over funding snap during the government shutdown.
(09:40):
ABC's Nicole d Antonio says the judge has ordered the
administration to provide full SNAP benefits to states by today.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
The administration had previously said it would use emergency funds
to only partially fund the benefits.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
About forty two million people get SNAP funds. In California,
it's about five million, and their distributed through cal Fresh
More evidence being collected from the crash site where the
UPS cargo plane went down in Kentucky. ABC's Mola Lnghi
says thirteen people died, most of them on the ground
after the plane hid an industrial area near the airport
(10:15):
in Louisville.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Investigators now combing through the half mile long debris field
for clues, extracting evidence from the charred flight data and
cockpit voice recorders.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
The plane had gotten to about four hundred and fifty
feet off the ground going two hundred ten miles per
hour before it crashed. The FBI says some criminals are
now pretending to be ICE agents. ABT's Aaron Katirski says
it's making it hard for people to tell the difference
between legitimate law enforcement and criminals.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
ESBI says that this follows the increase that we've been
following now since the start of the Trump administration in
ICE enforcement actions across the country.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
In one instance, criminals posing as ICE agents robbed a
restaurant in New York, and in another a woman was
kidnapped in Florida. China is growing its naval power. ABC's
Carson U says the Chinese have commissioned their most advanced
homegrown aircraft carrier.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
It's named Fujian, is the.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Country's third and largest carrier and the first to use
electromagnetic catapults similar to the US Navy's USS jure r Ford.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
He says it's nuclear powered, and China plans to have
up to six of those carriers by twenty thirty five.
Elon Musk could soon make history.
Speaker 6 (11:26):
The world's richest man has the chance to become the
first trillionaire. Elon Musk one shareholder vote yesterday that would
give the Tesla CEO stock worth one trillion dollars if
you hit certain performance targets over the next decade. The
vote followed weeks of debate over his management record and
whether anyone deserves such unprecedented pay, drawing heated commentary from
(11:48):
small investors to giant pension funds and even the Pope.
Deporah mark Koffi News.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
If you're feeling stressed, maybe you should move.
Speaker 8 (11:57):
My new study says Alaska is the most stressed state
in the US. Crime, suicide rate, cost of living, clean environment,
and extreme poverty made up the scores. Alaska's disconnect from
the rest of the US made it number one with
a high suicide rate and filthy air. New Mexico with
its high crime in Louisiana with its poverty, round out
the worst three. Massachusetts was the least stressed state with
(12:18):
its low crime and clean air, followed by New Jersey
with its low suicide rate. In New Hampshire with its
low poverty. California came in right in the middle of
twenty four with a lower suicide rate but a higher
cost of living. Michael Krozier kf I News.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
That Alaska thing's a little bit surprising. I mean, I
can see maybe the suicide rate, but the dirty air.
I was in Alaska's beautiful all right.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
It was such a.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Thrill to hear the final call as the Dodgers won

The funnel they map Yamamoto on.
Speaker 7 (12:57):
The left side of the Mound Classic finish to a
seven game series. The Dodgers become the first team in
Major League Baseball in twenty five years to repeat as
World Series champions.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Uh what a series it was.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
This afternoon at three, you can relive the memories of
World Series Games seven as your Dodgers come back to
back World champs. Listen to the game on AM five
to seventy LA Sports and on the iHeartRadio app presented
in part by Budweiser. This Bud's for you, three o'clock
this afternoon, Game seven of the World Series. It's gonna
be like deja vus. Thanks for starting your day with us.
(13:39):
One more day to the weekend, doing anything fun. I'm
actually headed up to Pasa Robles or Robeless, however you
want to say it. I've heard it both ways. But
heading up, we're going to do a wine walk. Yeah,
it's like a mile of walk and then wine tasting.
How perfect is that?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Okay, here's what we're following. In the KF twenty four
hour newsroom. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says flights will be
reduced by ten percent at forty airports across the country,
including Lax starting today because of staffing shortages caused by
the government shutdown. Duffy says this will help keep the
skies safe and help the controllers who have been working
without pay deal with fatigue. A trial date of April
(14:22):
twenty first has been set for the former Uber driver
accused of starting a fire on New Year's Eve that
exploded into the Palisades Fire a week later. Jonathan rinderneckt
remains in custody. He's expected to ask to be released
while awaiting trial. Next hearing is set for November eighteenth.
The Lazoo is celebrating the arrival of its first baby
(14:43):
orangutan in nearly fifteen years. The baby boy, born Ian Orangutan,
was born to forty three year old mother Kamlin and
thirty one year old father Esam on October tenth. The
baby orangutan can be seen at the zoo's Red Ape Rainforest.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
They are so cute.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Let's say good morning now to the host of home
on KFI, Dean Sharp.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Good morning, Dean.
Speaker 10 (15:06):
Hey, you know what. Passal ROBO's one of my favorite
towns mine too. It's a great place. Have you been
to Censorio up there? That are installation with Dama lights.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
No, I want to do that, but we when I
go up there, we tend to just do a lot
of wine tasting.
Speaker 10 (15:21):
You're like, after two hours up there, I don't even
know where I'm at.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Exactly, but that's on my list because it's like a
light show and it's on the rolling hills outside of town.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
It's supposed to be just spectacular.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
It really is.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
It's really beautiful.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Okay, So speaking of lighting, let's talk about lighting.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
And you're going to be talking about lighting all weekend.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Uh yeah, we are.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
On Sunday especially, we're going to be taking a look
at the holidays again and your home. And I've got
some I don't want to say hacks, because they're not hacks.
They're permanent things. But there are a lot of things
we can do to what I would call kind of
the big three of things and prepping for the holidays,
other than painting and stuff, which we've already talked about.
(16:01):
But you think about the holidays and you think, well, okay,
what are we doing. We're eating. So there's a review
of some new appliance technology from twenty twenty five. If
you're thinking about changing out, you know, your ovens or
things like that, we're probably watching games or we're watching
movies together. So I want to talk to everybody about
how to upgrade your home theater experience without you know,
(16:25):
breaking the bank. And then there's just generally setting the
mood in the house, which is lighting.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
And there are a.
Speaker 10 (16:31):
Lot of things that people can do a lot more
than they think without calling an electrician, without having to
rewire or tear up balls or anything like that, to
really change the vibe of how things feel in the house.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Okay, so let's talk about that a little bit, since
I like the idea of not having to call in
an electrician and being able to make some changes that
just really kind of amp up the house.
Speaker 10 (16:54):
So here's probably the number one thing, the biggest impact
that most people could could have on their lighting, and
that is, you know, everybody's got recess can lighting. And
I would say without you know, this is a non
scientific survey, but I've been in lots and lots and
lots of homes. I would say the majority of maybe
(17:15):
ninety five percent of the homes that I've been in
with recess can lighting built by contractors and so on,
have the recess can lights in the wrong place. They're
down lights and they're lighting floor areas, and like the
recess cans are going straight down the hallwave lighting up
the floor in the wrong place, not placed by a
lighting designer, and so we got a lot of glare.
(17:37):
And for all that's going on up there in the ceiling,
it ain't accomplishing much in the room. And what a
lot of people don't realize is there are two parts
to a recessed can light. There's the part that's embedded
in the house, in the dry wall and built into
the framing structure of the house, and then there's the
part that you see, which is the bulb, and what's
holding the bulb is what we call the trim. And
(18:00):
the trim can slide right out. You got on a
step ladder, you can just pull it right down. You
pull it right out of its can housing, and there's
a little clip that either unscrews or unplugs, and then
the whole trim assembly comes out. And those trim assemblies
for every recess can housing out there, there are multiple
multiple trims that can be put in. And one of
(18:21):
the biggest tricks that we do in order to improve
lighting in a house without rewiring it doesn't take an
electrician to do this. It's as simple as screwing in
a light bulb, which is replacing the trims standard down
light trims with what we call a gimbal trim, which
is an aimable light. Basically in the old days, we
used to call it like an eyeball socket, but they
(18:42):
look very different now it's an aimable light. And let's
just take your hallway for instance. Instead of those lights
going straight down the center of the hallway pointing right
down to the floor, now we're going to take those
lights and we're going to aim them at the walls
where you've got pictures hanging, artwork and stuff like that,
and it's going to be in direct light on the floor.
(19:03):
And we're going to turn that hallway and the whole
house for this matter, into a gallery instead of throwing
that light wasting it by throwing it straight down onto
the floor. Which all of this follows what I've preached
for years, which is the number one rule of lighting design.
And if you can remember this and apply it to
(19:24):
your home, it'll change your world.
Speaker 11 (19:26):
And that is this.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
We don't light rooms, we light things. Ah.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
I like that because and you know what you said,
when you were talking about just throwing down the lights
into the middle of the hallway, it made me think
of the hallways in Severance. I don't know why, like
it's just cold and industrial all it is.
Speaker 10 (19:42):
It is it's the worst kind of light. You know,
they use that kind of lighting in severance. It's like
office warehouse lighting, direct light overhead, just down into a room.
It's absolutely the worst kind of lighting you'll you'd be
hard pressed to find any photographer anywhere who would ever
want to take a picture of you in that kind
of lighting. And so what we want to do is
we want to throw light against things. You've got things
(20:05):
in your home. You've got furniture, you've got art on
the walls, you've got family photos, you've got your fireplace mantle,
I mean, you name it. We goes on and on.
I want to light up those things and then let
that light bounce in directly off of them into the
rest of the room. It creates interest, it creates highlights,
It creates shadows, and shadows are key. I think a
(20:25):
lot of people think the right way to light their
room is to get rid of all the shadows. But
if you do that, then you just have a big flat,
blank space. Shadows are the key to texture and mood
and all of that, and so this is just one
of those steps. And these trims, you know, depending on
the kind of trim that you get there, maybe they're
twenty to thirty dollars a piece per down light, which
(20:47):
is not cheap, but when you think about it, it's
just something you can go buy at the store and
come home and put in yourself, and it.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Can make you happy.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I love when you do something in your house and
you go, wow, that just looks so much better. And
that is just one of the great tips that you're
going to hear from Dean this weekend. Can't wait to
hear more, and you can do that from six to
eight tomorrow on Home with Dean Sharp right here on KFI,
and nine to noon on Sunday again it's Home with
(21:16):
Dean Sharp right here on KFI. You can also follow
Dean at Home with Dean. He puts up great tips
on that site too. Thank you Dean Sharp, Thank you

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Get in your business, as we do every morning at
five point forty with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini. Denise, let's talk shutdown.
We've been talking about it a lot today. Yeah, I
mean it's really painful. It's painful to hear about, and
it's very stressful too for all these passengers who think
they're flying but they're not sure. They wonder what their
airline's going to tell them, as you've been talking about,
(26:20):
when they're going to tell them, how they're going to
know if they have, you know, a layover, what's going
to happen during their layover, if they'll actually even be
able to get there.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Here's what we know so far.
Speaker 13 (26:30):
Of the some twenty five thousand flights scheduled for today,
fewer than three percent have actually been canceled, a United
scrapping five hundred and ten flights through Sunday for example.
Right now, it's more akin to a snowstorm or a stretch. Well,
I guess you don't get snowstorms there, not really bad weather.
I should say that a catastrophic breakdown. That's the word
(26:52):
from Tom Fitzgerald. He's an analyst at T. D. Collen
and that's what he told us here at Bloomberg. But
he says the big factor will be how long this life.
Former New Hampshire Governor Christ Nunu, President in chief exec
now of the industry trade group Airlines for America, says
more than three point four million passengers were already impacted
(27:12):
by all the delays and the cancelations related to the
staffing shortages from the shutdown, even before the word came
that they were going to have to scale back on flights.
So even though you know, an analyst can sit there
and say, well, from the airline industry, if this doesn't
last a long time, it might not be a huge
big deal for them.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
It's hurts for passengers.
Speaker 13 (27:32):
I mean just the air traffic control issues alone, and
all those problems already affecting millions of people. And we
haven't even started the holiday season yet.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Well, hopefully they'll get it resolved before then, but we'll see.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Okay, So I love using.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
My credit card that has perks with cash back or
miles or stuff, but apparently it's hard to navigate them.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
This just happened to me yesterday.
Speaker 13 (27:56):
I was trying to use an Airbnb credit that I
know I loaded onto airbnbe. Now I can't find it
on airbnbn. When I went back to look at the
emails from the credit card that gave us this credit,
I can't find that either. And I can't log in.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
On the account anymore for some reason, because it's been closed.
Speaker 13 (28:12):
And apparently some consumers spend hours tracking and redeeming credits.
Some people are even using spreadsheets amy to keep track.
Wells the story about this couple, Eric and Charlene May.
They have fourteen credit cards. Okay, they pay about twenty
now twenty six hundred dollars in annual fees for these
(28:32):
fourteen cards. They got to keep track of them. They
have a color coded Google sheet that they use as
they redeem the dining, travel, and shopping credits, which they
get a lot of. But Eric May, who by the way,
works for a fintech company, says that you know they're
trying to go on a romantic date or whatever. Yeah,
but it's kind of a buzz amount of where you
(28:53):
have to you have to pull out your spreadsheet in
the middle of you know, the romantic marital data or whatever.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Yeah, okay, and.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
The blessing Apple is streaming service.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
I was watching Apple last night.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I was watching my morning show or not, yeah, the
morning show, and I didn't have any trouble, but some
people did.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (29:11):
And the thing is that new series Pluribus right from
the creator of Breaking Bad, appears to be pretty popular.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Apple streaming services back up and running.
Speaker 13 (29:20):
It went down for some users cross continent last night
after the debut of that news series, and the issue
also affected Apple's music and arcade services. Obviously not great
for Apple right that it had this outage, especially they're
trying to do more sporting events or whatever, and they
keep having some issues. But it is interesting that this
series Pluribus is showing early signs.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Of being a huge hit.
Speaker 13 (29:42):
Might have to check out so many people wat you
also one hundred percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes nine point
two out of ten on IMDb, So yeah, I might
have to check it out.

Survivors of the Eton and Palisades fires have urged Governor
Newsom to call for the resignation of California's insurance commissioner.
The request comes after a new report showed a deal
struck in twenty twenty three between the commissioner and insurers
resulted in more policy holders being.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Dropped ahead of January's fires.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
More than half the homes still standing in Altadena have
been contaminated with lead, a third of them have asbestos contamination.
The homes are still contaminated despite extensive efforts to clean
up ash from the Eaten fire in January. Any level
of exposure to lead or asbestos can cause adverse health effects,
and researchers have developed an antibody therapy to fight one
(30:41):
of the most deadly forms of cancer.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
This is really cool.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Researchers at Chicago's Northwestern Medicine say. The antibody reawakens the
immune system that blocks pancreatic tumors from basically hiding from
the immune system. It has slowed tumor growth in mice,
and the team is refining the antibody to be used
in human studies.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Let's say good.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Morning now to the head of marketing for the flight
tracking app Flighty, Paul Bernardini.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Good morning, Paul, morning Amy.
Speaker 11 (31:08):
How are you well.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
I'm good because I'm not flying today, but a lot
of people who are could be in for well, some
headaches and some frustrations because we have flight reductions, and
you have some tips and trips to help us avoid
some of the delays and headaches.
Speaker 11 (31:29):
Yeah, I mean, look, this is an unusual time in
the travel industry. I mean, on a normal day, about
twenty percent of flights are delayed, and with the ten
percent cut across these forty airports that the FA has listed,
you know, we're expecting thirty maybe forty percent delays and
that doesn't account for cancelations. On a normal can. On
a normal flighting day, cancelations are typically aroun one hundred
(31:50):
and fifty two hundred per airline. We're going to reach
close to a thousands not today, so there is going
to be it is going to happen in a phased approach,
But then this continues into next week, it'll be we'll
be close to three to four thousand cancelations a day.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Okay, Yeah, and I just I just heard that too,
because we've been talking about the ten percent, but it's
going to start with like four percent percent reductions and
then it's going to go up incrementally until it hits ten.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Percent next week.
Speaker 11 (32:17):
That's correct.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Okay, So what are some of the things that we
can do, Paul, to help avoid or alleviate or reduce
some of the frustrations that we're going to be facing
if we're flying.
Speaker 11 (32:30):
Yeah, So one thing I always recommend the travelers one
is if you do get is your firflight does get canceled.
For one, A lot of airlines have already posted what
they plan to do in response to this. For example,
United is offering frefunds to all flights, whether they're canceled
or not. Like if you just don't want to be
part of it, you can, and if you're flying United
you can get that refund. And all other airlines have
(32:51):
posted similar things, So check into the airlines be sure
that you owe.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Sorry, Oh I said, that's great that they're doing that.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 11 (32:59):
That's really helpful for flyers. The other thing is if
you don't have a frequent flyer program with them, I
always encourage that get your information in there. It will
be easier on the back end if something does go
awry and you need to get help your system. Your
information is already there.
Speaker 7 (33:14):
You know.
Speaker 11 (33:14):
When it comes to delays, the number one reason for
delays generally is whether. The second reason for delays is
the is your inbound plane, So you're flying out of Lax.
If that plane is going through and routing through these
other forty airports that are being impacted and that plane
is getting delayed, those delays only trickle down and affect
(33:34):
your flight. So that's one thing that Flighty does for
all travelers in our app is that we will start
giving you real time alerts of where that plane is
today and if it's already delayed before your flight, so
you can start making some adjustments and decisions before your
plane is actually there.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I like that a lot because yeah, like technically the
Bourbank Airport is not affected by these reductions, but lax
is and Oak lay is and San Francisco is and
it flies to several of those, So if they're affected,
it's going to probably trickle down to smaller airports too,
And if you can keep track of that, that probably
(34:11):
would help. I mean, I think part of the frustration
too is that we just don't know, and we're kind
of at the mercy of the airlines and they don't
really tell you why it's delayed. I think we're going
to know why the delays are, but still it's it's frustrating.
So if they if you have the information, I think
it helps with your frustration.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
What about the exactly.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
What about the buying a backup ticket.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
I've heard that a couple of airlines said, oh, you
should buy another ticket on another airline just in case.
Speaker 11 (34:36):
What gosh, I mean, I don't know about I mean,
I'm not the person that's going to go buy three
or four plane tickets for the same flight and then
you have to manage the cancelations and delays like that
sounds like a nightmare. But I think everybody's going to
be cased by case. Your flight may may not be impacted.
Everything could be normal, Like we do need to see
today at the first day, and you know, airlines that
(34:58):
come out were expecting around six to seven hundred cancelations
across from like the Big four if you go American, Delta,
Southwest United and you know ATC towers have already issued
a lot of alerts that they do expect delays to
begin beginning around what is on nine am Central time,
so eight am or so, some delays are already going
to start to begin. And the same as I would
(35:20):
just say is you know, at least for us and
the flyers that are traveling with flighting, we're tapped. We're
tapped directly into that pilot and are not an airline
and we're not in the game the whole m.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Oh no, yeah, so say that again, what what flight
he's doing?
Speaker 11 (35:43):
Yeah, So what we do is we tap directly into
the data your pilot gets and we deliver that to
the second it happens. And so if your flight does
get delayed, you mentioned like it's so frustrating, Why am
I delayed? What's going wrong? We have directly into that
into that data and send it directly to you in
real time, so you know, Wayne advance. We often send
(36:04):
lars one to two hours before the airlines even tell
you and so, but that is a lot of flyers
to control back to, you know, make the decision, beat
the rush and rebook first.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Okay, all right, Paul Bernardini with a flight tracking app flighty.
I think that a lot of people are probably going
to be signing up for that. Thanks so much, Paul,
having a great day in flight. Say yeah, gosh, I'm
glad that they're starting it slow, so I think it
maybe isn't going to be quite the crush that we
think it's going to be.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
I guess you're gonna tell us on Monday, Well because
you're flying for you, Yeah, because where you're flying up
to the Bay Area from Bourbank over the weekend. All right,
well you'll have to keep us loaded.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
But yeah, I think checking with the airlines, and I
like that the airlines are offering the reefin if you
just want to say uh uh, I'm out, they're going
to let you cancel it and refund you because they
normally don't just refund you, right, all right, let's get
back to some of the stories coming out of the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A federal judge is ordered
to try administration to pay full November SNAP benefits by today.
(37:04):
In making the ruling, the judge in Rhode Island said
people have gone without for too long.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Vice President jad Advance is the Trump administration's appealing.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
It's an absurd ruling because you have a federal judge effectively.
Speaker 8 (37:16):
Telling us what we have to do in.
Speaker 11 (37:18):
The midst of a Democrat government shutdown, which.
Speaker 7 (37:20):
What we'd like to do is for the Democrats to
open up the government.
Speaker 15 (37:23):
Of course, then we can fund SNAP, and we can
also do a lot of other good things for the
American people.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
The Trump administration has planned to partially fund the food
stamp program for forty two million Americans. The judge ruled
that the government now must draw from additional USDA funds
so the states can deliver full SNAP benefits. Just sixteen
percent of people in the La Metro area can afford
to buy a house. The California Association of Realtors says
the median home price is eight hundred and thirty seven
(37:49):
thousand dollars for the Metro area in La County. The
median price is nine hundred and fifty four thousand, with
just twelve percent of households making enough to afford to
buy a house. That's down from thirteen percent in the
second quarter of the year. The home of one of
TV's most famous families could soon be an historic cultural landmark.
Speaker 9 (38:09):
The Brady Bunch House in Studio City was only used
for exterior shots. The rest of the show was made
at Paramount Studios, but Susan Olsen, who played Cindy Brady,
the youngest one in Curls, says the home matters to
a lot of people.
Speaker 12 (38:20):
The Brady House is the physical presence of an element
of Americana that reminds us of how good we can be,
how decent we can be, how wholesome we can strive
to be again.
Speaker 9 (38:29):
At least Cultural Heritage Commission agrees they've given the ok
for the official review process to begin. The inside of
the house now matches the old show thanks to an
HGTV project. Michael Monks KFI News, I love the.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Brady Bunch House.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Comedy legend Carol Burnette. He is giving back to her
alma mater, UCLA. She's donating more than one hundred and
forty of her career awards, and creating a new scholarship
for musical theater students. University officials say Carol Burnett's legacy
of life after will now help inspire the next generation
of performers. The Carol Burnett Endowed Scholarship will support one
(39:06):
student each year in UCLA's theater, Film and TV program.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
