The GOP has fallen in line behind President Trump to
(03:13):
make way for the Big Beautiful Bill. Republican leaders now
believe they have the votes to pass Trump's tax and
spending cuts package. Let's get started with some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
A seven to eleven employee in Hollywood allegedly beaten by
her assistant manager has died.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Jessica McLoughlin was nearing the end of her shift on
June twenty fourth, about two point fifteen of the afternoon
when her assistant manager, identified by KTLA as Valeri of Para,
allegedly threw a bottle at her and a fight began.
McLoughlin's father, Clancy, tells KTLA Para allegedly sat on his daughter,
assaulting her until she lost consciousness.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
She lost all oxygen to her brain for over ten minutes,
and she basically is declared brain dead now.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
McLoughlin reportedly told other employees she was being bullied at work.
Para fled the scene before police are She's still on
the loose. Jim Rope KFI News.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Seven people are still missing after a powerful explosion tore
through a fireworks warehouse outside Sacramento.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
Lane, shooting into the sky. Fireworks igniting as the fire
raged officials saying with the warehouse full of pyrotechnics and
the fire still burning, it was not safe to send
in search crews. One woman who says her brother and
brother in law are missing, interrupted a news conference demanding
fire crews do more.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
You guys aren't focusing on.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
People that are stuck in the warehouse, possibly been as
well as last family member's court.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
We'ied sick, and you guys are yet to give.
Speaker 8 (04:33):
Us any information.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Authorities using unmanned aircraft to survey the wreckage.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
ABC's Andrew Deibert says authorities are using unmanned aircraft to
survey the wreckage. The bomb squad was sent to a
business in San Gabriel because of illegal fireworks. The postal
service called police around three thirty in the afternoon yesterday
about a suspicious package. They set a person admitted to
having illegal fireworks. A five hundred foot evacuations almost set
(04:58):
up around the area as a safety man while the
bomb squad removed the homemade fireworks. Hamas has hinted it
may be open to a ceasefire deal backed by the US,
but Israel's Prime minister says any agreement must end Hamas's
role in Gaza completely and joining US now to break
down the latest developments and what they could mean for
regional stability. Is ABC's Geordana Miller live in Jerusalem, Good morning.
Speaker 9 (05:23):
Good morning. Hamas has signaled that it is open to
a ceasefire, and that is very good news. The group
says that it is studying the latest proposal, a revision
of what we've been calling for months, the wit Cooff proposal,
which would include a sixty day pause in the fighting,
(05:45):
the release of ten living hostages, about eighteen bodies of
hostages staggered, both the release of living and dead hostages
staggered over those sixty days, and what we would expect,
which is hundreds of trucks of aid for the people
of Gaza each and every day. Now, there's still a
(06:07):
lot of details that are being worked out on this deal.
I know, we all know that President Trump said the
Israelis have agreed to the terms. Here in Jerusalem. There
hasn't been any official statement or response to that tweet
by the President, but it is clear sources are telling
us that President Trump is coordinating both with the mediators
(06:34):
and with Jerusalem and putting pressure on the sides to
come to an agreement, and that Jerusalem the prime Minister
Benjamin Antenno is working towards that goal. We may hear
an announcement of a deal next week when he comes
to Washington. He's meeting with President Trump on Monday, he'll
be there for a few days after. But again, all
(06:57):
of this points to what looks like a henial breakthrough
to get another ceasefire. That ceasefire is still again a
lot of details about how many palest Indian prisoners would
be released for each hostage, you know, how the Israeli
army would redeploy, and of course issues of governance, right
Hamas cannot play a role in governing the Gaza Strip.
(07:19):
Would some of their leaders be expelled or leave the
Gaza Strip? All of this still being discussed. But optimism
here really in the region for the first time in
many months, that we are going to see a ceasefire
announced in the coming days.
Speaker 10 (07:36):
Now.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Netanyahu has said that there will be no Hamas in
post war Gaza. Is that realistic and how does that
complicate any of these ceasefire negotiations?
Speaker 10 (07:49):
Right?
Speaker 9 (07:49):
Well, I think it is the position of the Israeli
Prime Minister am by the way of President Trump, that
Hamas play no role in governing the Gaza strip. Will
Hamas be destroyed every last fighter? That is I think,
you know, unrealistic. But if Hamas can be sidelined considerably
(08:13):
and not have a rule in governing the Goss's trip,
I think that is progress. In terms of disarming Hamas well,
that's that's also going to have to be a discussion,
because Hamas is unwilling to give up their arms. But
you know, I think the Israeli positioned to not have
Hamas govern is realistic. To destroy Hamas completely I think
(08:36):
is reaching too high.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
So let's talk about Iran for just a moment. We're
now hearing about major damage to nuclear sides and Iran
cutting ties with international inspectors. How serious is this escalation
and could it be a tipping point there?
Speaker 9 (08:54):
Well, I think Iran is threatening not to let the
UN's Atomic washstog group the IAEA in to look at sites,
just like they're threatening to pull out of the Non
Proliferation Treaty the MPT. But I think this is also
meant to be a kind of negotiation. What's left of
(09:15):
Iran's leverage against the international community after both the Israeli
and the US strikes, which even according to Iranian officials,
really dealt a serious blow to their program and severe damage.
You know, I think the President is confident that Iran
(09:36):
is going to come back to the table and negotiate,
and I think ultimately the Iranians really don't have another
choice but to do that.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
So you've been covering this, you know, region for many,
many years. How different does this moment feel and what
should we be watching for in the coming days.
Speaker 9 (09:56):
Well, I think that the last two years have really
been historic here. This is the longest war that is
all has ever been involved in. You know, it started
with a terrible, you know, deadly surprised strike on Israel.
But now that we're almost two years out, Hamas actually
(10:17):
initiated what is shaping up to be a major regional
power shift in the region, a shift that benefits the West,
Israel and its allies, right and certainly the United States.
We've seen Hamas, you know, they've pretty much been taken
out as a as a real power in the Gaza strip,
(10:41):
even though they won't be you know, again you can't
you can't get every fighter. Nonetheless, their capabilities have been
pretty much crushed as Baulah has been pushed back on
the northern border of Lebanon and southern Lebanon. Their whole
position of power in Lebanon now changing radically. And Iran
has been proven to be somewhat of a paper tiger.
(11:02):
And also, uh, you know, dealt a serious blow. And
we do know that the president, President Trump is talking
about expanding the Abraham Accords, bringing more countries into a
normalization deals with Israel, and that looks also set to
happen in the coming weeks. And that means that the
(11:23):
you know, the war against Iran that Israel and the
United States were fighting with some of the Gulf countries
that were moderate air nations, the tide has turned in
favor of the West and I think that will bring
more stability over time to the region.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
And do you get a day off tomorrow? You do?
Speaker 10 (11:43):
You?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Actually, you get to take any time off tomorrow for
the holiday?
Speaker 11 (11:47):
I do?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Oh good.
Speaker 9 (11:49):
Well, are you going to get out to the fourth
of July?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (11:52):
Well, yeah, usually the embassy here does a fabulous party,
so this year I think it's going to be to
be toned down a little bit, give her the situation.
Speaker 10 (12:02):
But yeah, well.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I hope you get a nice break. Enjoy your day. Off.
Speaker 9 (12:07):
Yes, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Thank you. We'll talk to you next week. Okay, bye bye.
All right, let's get back to some stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A fast moving
wildfire has burned thirty five thousand acres in Santa Barbara
and San Luis Obispo County's evacuations are underway as flames
spread near the Carrizo Plains National Monument. Sean Combs will
remain in jail until sentencing. A judge denied his request
(12:30):
for bail yesterday following the rap Moguls Convention conviction, rather
on two federal prostitution charges. ABC's Reena Roy reports Diddy's
lawyers argued for him to be released.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
At one point, he raised his hand to try and
speak is seemingly in his own defense, but instead the
judge I Nordon so Combs was sending multiple notes to
his defense team and they were really pleading with the judge.
After he was denied bail.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Combs was acquitted on racketeering and sex traffic charges. He
was found guilty of transporting people across state lines for
the purpose of engaging in prostitution. He faces twenty years
in prison. The Dodgers Clayton Kershaw has become the twentieth

(14:04):
this summer as the city moves forward with a twenty
eight million dollar renovation. The historic site hasn't been filled
since twenty twenty and a full overhaul, including modern restrooms
and heated showers, isn't said to begin until late twenty
twenty five, and Nordstrom is closing its Santa Monica play
store after fifteen years. The company didn't give a reason,
(14:25):
but the decision to follow rising veaxs, vacancies rather and
safety concerns at the shopping center. The final days of
business is August twenty six, six oh five. It's handled
on the news. Brian Coberger has pleaded guilty to each
of the five counts he was charged with. We're going
to tell you the reaction from the courtroom while he
changed his plea. Sean Dinny Coombs is still in federal
(14:48):
custody after being denied bond this week despite being acquitted
of the most serious charges against him. Tracking sex trafficking
and racketeering with us now to unpack all the legal
twists and turns and what's next. ABC's Peter Hower, Lambu's goodboarding,
Peter morning.
Speaker 10 (15:04):
Thanks for for having me.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Sure so walk us through the judge's decision. Why was
did he deny bond even after being cleared of the
most serious charges.
Speaker 10 (15:14):
Yeah, so the judge acknowledged that this was in part
of victory for Shawn Combs, that he's been cleared of
really these severe charges, the ones that threatened to put
them away for in prison for life. But he pointed
to the entire defense theory as evidence for why Shawn
Combs should still be locked up. Now, if you recall,
during this entire case, the defense looked at things like
(15:34):
Shawn Combs his video assaulting Caskie Ventura and acknowledged that
that was domestic violence, that their client has flaws, that
he was a violent man at times. They argued that
while those are problematic, while those are not good, that
that doesn't amount as sex trafficking or racketeering. Ultimately, the
jury agreed with that theory. They rejected this theory that
(15:54):
Colmbs was a racketeer, that he was engaged in sex trafficking,
and convicted him on those lesser ts charges. But during
that bail argument, the judge looked back at that defense theory,
looked at at them openly acknowledging that Holmes was a
violent individual and used that as justification for keeping him
locked up, saying that Shaun Combs has a propensity for
violence and that he could still be a danger to
(16:15):
the community if released. For now, he's going to stay
in prison until the sentencing, which is currently except for
October third, though that could be moved up.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
So what do we know about the lesser charges he
was convicted of and how much prison time he could
still face because of them.
Speaker 10 (16:31):
Yeah, so he's been convicted of these two counts of
transportation to engage in prostitution. Those are much less severe
than the sex trafficking and racketeering charges. All took to
prove those charges was that Shawncombs transported people across state
lines for the purposes of prostitution, and that even if
those people were consenting adults, or even if they were
traveling for reasons other than just the prostitution. So those
(16:52):
were always considered the low hanging fruits of this case,
and prosecutor Secure secured a conviction on those. Disagreement about
how long he might get in prison between the defense
and prosecutors. Defense attorneys suggests he deserves one to two
years in prison. He's already served ten months ahead of trial. Separately,
the prosecutors have argued that he should get four to
(17:12):
five years. We're going to see that argument play out
over the coming weeks and months. Defense attorneys at this
point are vowing not to stop to continue fighting until
Shawn Combs walks out of federal prison.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Now, the sentencing date was supposed to be in October.
Is that still happening in October?
Speaker 10 (17:30):
So that's the date sent tentatively for now. Shawn Combs's
lawyers have said that they want him to get sentenced
as soon as possible, so they're willing to move that
thing up. They've asked the judge to do that. The
judge says he's going to consider that for now. He's
set a hearing excuse me, a conference for next week
to talk about the next steps of the pre sentence process.
For example, Shawn Combs needs to be interviewed by the
(17:51):
probation Department to determine whether or not he's a risk
and how he's behaved while he's been into attention. So
we should get more clarity next week when the sentencings
aretctually gonna take place.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I think I read somewhere that there is some significance
to that October third date, that that is thirty years
to the date when oj Simpson was actually acquitted of murder.
So I don't know if that played into in any
way them wanting to move the date just because of
the significance there.
Speaker 10 (18:23):
That did not dawn on me until you mentioned it.
But that sounds right. I mean, it's interesting to see
the parallels there. For what it's worth, I will know
one thing that was interesting to see was how similarly
emotional it was for Seawn Films yesterday. Of course, he
was disappointed when he heard that he wasn't going to
get released, but the victory, the amount of emotion you
(18:45):
saw on him when he learned that he was acquitted
of moose most serious charges. He literally got down to
his hands and knees and began to pray. In the courtroom,
he thanked individually the jurors, he thinks his family. In
the gallery, he had multiple rounds of applause. Really the
kinds of emotion you rarely see in the court unless
you have a high profile acquittal like we saw yesterday.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
You know, what was interesting about this case to me
is that there was an expectation going into it that
we were going to see all of these high profile
people exposed this you know, CD sex ring or you know,
whatever people were thinking would come out of this, that
we were going to have all these big names revealed,
(19:24):
and that didn't really seem to happen. And I don't
know if that was because prosecution didn't have that information,
if it's because it just maybe didn't exist. Do you
think that there was Is there anything left on the table?
I guess, you know, they did. They put it all
out there.
Speaker 10 (19:44):
You know, they didn't necessarily and that was intentional on
the judges part. He acknowledged that while there was some
public benefited this being this playing out publicly, there was
a harm to victims if it was all exposed. So
there are certain things we just didn't really hear that
much about. We didn't see, for example, the videos of
these alleged freak golfs because that was considered too sensitive
(20:04):
for public release. And we heard about very high profile
individuals who were involved tangentially in this case who remained unnamed.
For example, there was one prominent rapper who flew one
of Combs's ex girlfriends to Las Vegas for a weekend
of partying similar to the same similar kind of voyeurism
and sex parties that Shaun Combs engaged in the name
(20:26):
of that proper remains a mystery to this day. We're
not going to learn that name. But overall, we're certainly
not seeing the list of celebrities that some people speculated
might have come through of this case. If anything, one
thing that did become clear by the time this jury
reached diverted, it was that they believe that what Shaun
Combs was engaging in was largely private matters. Is what
(20:47):
happened inside his bedroom was basically something that didn't necessarily
have to bleed out into the public space, and that
they believe what they saw here was consensual, that it
wasn't sex trafficking, and that what happened to his bedroom
should make states the bedroom.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
All right, Peter Haro Lampus, thank you so much for
your time this morning.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
Thanks for for having me.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
All right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. House
Republicans are ready to vote on President Trump's four point
five trillion dollar spending bill. Party leaders were up all night,
and the President himself worked to persuade skeptical holdouts to
drop their opposition and deliver by the fourth of July deadline.
The package extends tax cuts said to expire at the
(21:29):
end of the year to help offset lost revenue. It
cuts about one point two trillion dollars in Medicaid, healthcare,
and food stamps programs, and rolls back green energy investments.
Democrats oppose the so called Big Beautiful Bill. A Los
Angeles City councilman wants to get rid of the death penalty.
Speaker 12 (21:48):
Hugo Sodo Martinez has called on Governor Newsom to commute
all remaining death row sentences in the state. He introduced
a resolution urging the governor to use his clemency power
to eliminate death row. Sodo Martinez said in a statement
that the death penalty is an outdated punishment that drains
public resources and doesn't reflect the promise of a just system.
According to his office, California's death row is the largest
(22:12):
in the nation, with nearly six hundred people awaiting execution.
Deborah mark Koffi news.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Video from a Pico Rivera school shows what appears to
be federal agents urinating on campus. The footage, released by
L Ranto Unified, shows Border patrol vehicles at Reuben Salazar
High School, where agents are seen relieving themselves behind shipping containers.
Officials say the agent's trespassed near an active elementary summer
session and expose themselves near miners. Local leaders are demanding
(22:42):
a full federal investigation. The man charge with murdering four
University of Idaho students has pleaded guilty as part of
a plea deal. Are you pleading guilty because you are guilty?
Speaker 10 (22:53):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Brian Kohenberger agreed to the deal just weeks before his
trial was to begin in order to avoid the death penalty.
He is set to be sentenced later this month to
four consecutive life sentences. A baseball player is still getting
more than a million a year despite not playing for
twenty three years.
Speaker 13 (23:10):
Bobby Binnie has been paid his annual just under one
point two million dollars from the New York Mets. The
July first payday will continue for another ten years when
he's seventy two, despite him not playing for the Mets
since nineteen ninety nine and not at all since two
thousand and one. But he is making more than many
current players are making annually. Other retired players are still
making money from their old teams, and current players have
similar deals with even bigger numbers. The Dodgers sho Heeo
(23:33):
Tani has a similar deal where he's getting only two
million a year until twenty thirty three, but sixty eight
millionaire for the next ten years after that, whether he's
playing or not. Michael Krozer KFI News.

years of abuse and safety scandals troubling the facility. San
Bardino County Fire is exploring cutting edge airtech to speed
up emergency response. They're eyeing electric flying vehicles E tolls.
(24:31):
I think it's EV tolls that don't need a pilot's
license and can land on water. Officials say it could
save lives in remote or congested areas and cost far
less than a helicopter. Then at six zh five it
is handle on the news. Governor Newsom was in Burbank
to join local leaders to sign the seven hundred and
fifty million dollar film and TV tax credit. We're going
(24:53):
to break it all down, tell you why, heat and
industry leaders hope this is going to bring more production
back to the state. Right now, this is when Amy
usually does her Amy's Out and About segment. And since
I'm here, I'm going to tell you a little bit
about what I got to do this last week. I
went to Shakespeare in the Park with my family. If
(25:16):
you don't know, every year in the summer, there is
a local organization called the Independent Shakespeare Company and they
put on productions of Shakespeare in the Park. It's totally free.
It's at Griffith Park. I've been taking my daughters since
she was maybe like four years old, and now it's
become this summer tradition, this family tradition that we do
(25:38):
where we pack up a little lunch, have some snacks,
and we go out and we watch the performers. And
every year it just gets better and better. And as
a matter of fact, I'm going to be sharing more
about that with you tomorrow on a wake up call
and give you guys a little closer look at how
you can join in on all of the fun there.
(25:59):
The other fun thing that I want to talk about
this week is Superman. Superman is going to be opening
July eleventh, and this week I was invited by Warner

of the set pieces and some of the props and
costumes and things that were used in the film. Now listen,
(26:20):
if you don't know, I'm a big film and television fan.
I am also an actor and a comedian. On my
that's my side, hustle, I guess you'd say, or is
this my side hustle. I guess we'll never know. But
that's what I love to do. I love anything that
it's involving the entertainment industry. So I try to stay
connected with that as much as possible. So any chance
(26:41):
I get to go and you know, take a look
at where something was filmed or the costume, you know,
the artistry that goes into filmmaking, I want to do that.
And I also have seen the movie. Now here's the deal.
We had to like sign our name in blood that
we would not give spoilers or talk about the movie
in any way, so I can't tell you yet what

once the embargo has lifted, and I'll definitely share that
on Gary and Shannon's show as well for my weekly

(27:45):
just stop rambling and we'll chat with Courtney. Good morning, Courtney, good.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Morning, nice dairy again, Heather.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Thank you. Well, I'm you know what, I'm the B team.
I'm in for Amy while she's on vacation, So I'm
excited to be here.
Speaker 14 (27:59):
I wish we were both on vacation, right, do you
get tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Do you get tomorrow off?
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, the markets are closed tomorrow.
Speaker 14 (28:07):
Well, so, actually that's been a big game changer for
Wall Street because usually the monthly employment report from the
government is released on the first Friday of the month. However,
it's a day early today due to the holiday, and
we just got this key pivotal report in jobs Day
is a big thing for Wall Street. So so far,
the nation's job market has shown a lot of resilience
(28:28):
with the big dose of uncertainty when it comes to
the economy. So we're at the halfway point of twenty
twenty five and it looks like the labor market is
still holding up. The US add at one hundred and
forty seven thousand jobs last month. E condoms were expecting
a lot less one hundred and six thousand, so much
better than what Wall Street was estimating. The unemployment rate
actually ticked lower to four point one percent. Some people
(28:50):
were expecting, or some economists were expecting that to tick higher.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
But the message from Fed Chair J.
Speaker 14 (28:57):
Powell has been that the economy is in a good
place and this should give an officials time to wait
and see more about tariffs, how that's going to affect
inflation before they make any changes when it comes to
interest rates. But Wall Street's cheering this so far, the
reaction is pretty good on Wall Street. SMP futures are
up about fourteen points in down futures up eighty five.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
All right, So let's talk about the extreme weather that
we're seeing right now. I guess it's causing people to
skip a trip to the amusement park.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (29:25):
Theme parks are seeing the slowest summer starts since the pandemic.
Crowds are a lot thinner than usual at United Parks
and Resorts destinations that includes SeaWorld, Bush Gardens, Sesame Place. Meantime,
attendance has dropped seventeen percent at six Flags theme parks
around the country. So we had this wet start in
April through a lot of the country and that's given
(29:47):
way to scorching heat.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
We had a heat dome.
Speaker 14 (29:49):
Over us here for a while we weren't going to
six Flags, but that also hit a lot of the country.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
But it seems this is the interesting part.
Speaker 14 (29:57):
It seems that a lot of people are giving up
going to roller coasters because of the heat, and they're
moving to movie theaters and bowling alleys and they've seen
a nineteen percent jump in foot traffic. There's a company
that actually tracks things like that. Police are AI and
they said, yeah, more people are heading there because of
the weather.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Why can't they skip going to Disneyland. That's what I want.
That park is always packed. It could be one thousand
degrees and there will be nine hundred people in every
line for Disney or more for Disneyland.
Speaker 14 (30:26):
Are the same with Disney World in Florida. I don't
know what kind of magic they have. It's got to
be the Mauth magic.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
They have something in the water over there. Okay, this
is interesting. Blazers are out and hoodies are in at
the office. I'm so mad. I actually forgot my hoodie
this morning and then Will came in and turn on
the air conditioning in the booth and now I'm freezing.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Oh my goodness, I'm wearing a blanket.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
I always tell you, you.
Speaker 14 (30:50):
Know, it's it's a female winter. That's what we call
summer here. Yes, summer in the office, but it's actually
a summer of skin at the office. We're seeing a
lot more folks wearing crop tops and shorts to work.
We're also hearing the beachy sounds of flip flops near
the water cooler. There are a few reasons why more
workers are dressing down to our corporate meetings. It seems
(31:11):
that many companies actually haven't issued guidance on what to where.
Funny enough, we have to tell people that, according to
a survey from monster dot com, just fifty seven percent
say they work in an office with the dress code. Plus,
fashion experts are telling The Wall Street Journal that more
people are looking to show off their new body with
the daring clothes at the office. After shutting a few
pounds on ozembic.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
All right, I don't want anyone here to show off
their body at KFI Will and Cono. You guys keep
it together.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Oh yeah, crocheted shirts, that's the trend. That's what they say.
People are wearing the trends.
Speaker 14 (31:43):
They have all these fashion influencers saying, oh, this is
a cool thing to wear at the office.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
But yeah, now bizarre.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
All right, lover yourself up, Forny, Thank you so much.
Oh great talking to you. Have a great weekend.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Than Thank you you two. All right, let's get back
to some of the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. Exposure to an unknown substance at
Los Padrino's juvenile Hall in Downy sent nine people, including
a juvenile detainee, to the hospital.
Speaker 15 (32:10):
The facility was placed on lockdown as an investigation took place.
Emergency crews responded to a call for a suspected overdose
and possible exposure to an unknown substance. Eight staff members
and one youth were transported to area hospitals. Just two
days prior, a nonprofit worker was arrested for allegedly trying
to smuggle drugs into the facility. Since reopening in twenty
(32:30):
twenty three, Los Padrinos has faced criticism over safety and
inmate abuse.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Aileen Gonzalez KFI News, a seven eleven employee allegedly attacked
by her manager in Hollywood, has died. Jessica McLoughlin was
hurt on June twenty fourth and had been on life
support at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital. Her father says she died
yesterday morning. Family members say McLoughlin was finishing her shift
when she got into a heated argument with the store's
assistant manager. They say the manager antagonized McLoughlin and threw
(32:58):
a bottle at her, and that the fire escalated from there.
The manager was gone when police arrived. Doctor Phil's television network,
Merritt Street Media, has filed for bankruptcy. In addition to
the Chapter eleven declaration, its suing Christian television companies Trinity
Broadcasting and TCT Ministries for allegedly hurting its business and
(33:20):
backing out of their obligations. The suit claims Trinity failed
to provide agreed upon national distribution and is seeking damages
and legal fees. A strike has been averted for now.
The union representing over forty five thousand grocery workers that
Ralph Vaughan's, Albertson's and Pavilions has reached a tentative contract deal.
It includes higher wages and better benefits. The DOJ is
(33:42):
ramping up efforts to strip US citizenship from naturalized Americans
accused of serious crimes, including fraud, war crimes, and human
rights abuses. And Jurassic World Rebirth is roaring at the
box office, on track to earn one hundred and twenty
seven million dollars in the US and two hundred fifty
million worldwide. We're just minutes away from handle on the
(34:02):
news this morning, a five year old girl went overboard
on the Disney cruise. We're going to tell you what
happened and why her dad jumped in to save her.
It looks like America's youngest eaters are making some healthier choices,
or maybe their parents are joining us. Now with more
insights into these new findings, is ABC's Jim Ryan. Good morning, Jim, Heather,
how are you.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
I'm good.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
I'm good. Now I'm thinking about fast foods. So let's
let's talk about this. Let's start with the good news.
How much of a drop are we seeing in kids'
fast food consumptions? And what is the time period this covers?
Speaker 11 (34:34):
Well, the study, the latest study has to do with
the period between August of twenty twenty one and August
of twenty twenty three, and during that period, kids age
two through nineteen consumed an average of eleven point four
percent of their daily calories from fast food. Sounds like
a lot, but consider that before that period back here
in twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, the number was fourteen percent,
(34:57):
So it is dropping. That's significant, eleven from fourteen percent
down to eleven point four percent. So yeah, kids are
getting fewer their calories every day from fast food.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
I have to say, I have a twelve year old
and she is not into fast food in the same
way that I remember I was at her age, or
even than I am now. So there is definitely some
truth to this. So is there any insight into why
this shift is happening. Is it because we as parents
are making better choices or more nutritional awareness.
Speaker 11 (35:28):
Unfortunately, the parents aren't making really better choices, at least
not for their kids. Yeah, because people twenty to thirty nine,
almost half of them eat fast food every single day.
Men more are slightly more likely to eat fast food
than women, and so yeah, but it could be in
fact that parents are making better choices for their kids.
(35:48):
You also see I think kind of a subtle shift
in how these products are marketed. These fast food joints.
You know, they are there to make money, and so
they respond to consumer demand. So fifteen twenty years ago,
when consumers were saying, you know what, could you maybe
add something healthier to this menu along with the burgers
and fries and shakes and all the rest, and they
(36:09):
started putting in salads and you know, less fatty stuff,
less kiloric stuff, and so they responded to that. And
over the last few years, as parents are demanding quit
marketing stuff to my kids, stop advertising stuff directed at
my children, and then having them come to me and
demand this fast food or whatever it might be. So
(36:30):
that may be a part of it that they're changing
the marketing of these products.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
So do we know what age groups or regions are
driving the adult fast food habits the most?
Speaker 11 (36:40):
Yes, well, for parents, For adults, it's people twenty to
thirty nine, they're the ones who are eating the most
fast food and almost half of them having it every
single day, men over women. And I was shocked at this, Heather.
You know, we hear about food islands, food deserts right
in neighborhoods where you don't have a grocery store, or
somebody will put up a fast food joint and they'll
(37:02):
be feeding the whole neighborhood instead of fresh food, they're
eating fried food or fast food. But this new study,
this latest statistic shows that higher income brackets, people with
the six digit figure six figure salary are more inclined
to eat fast food than people with lower salaries, people
below one hundred thousand dollars, which is fascinating because that
(37:25):
kind of flies in the face of this thinking that
food desserts are ending up with people in lower income
areas eating a lot more fast food.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Or the idea that the more money you have, the
more you're going to spend on healthier foods and healthier options.
So that's really interesting.
Speaker 11 (37:43):
You're on something, but apparently it isn't the healthy food.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Yeah, this is one of those do as I say,
not as I do, I think moments for opinions. Well, Jim,
thank you so much. Always enjoy talking with you.
Speaker 9 (37:55):
Thanks Heather.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
All Right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Commercial
disaster tours have been capitalizing on the rubble in the
Pacific Palisades.
Speaker 7 (38:05):
The Early City Council has voted to restrict disaster tours
taking paying customers to see what's left of the palisades.
Councilman Tracy Park says the restriction will last as long
as the local emergency declaration remains.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
While the prohibition is in place, the department will be
able to look at a permanent set of restrictions for
this very sensitive area.
Speaker 7 (38:24):
Park says, the streets are already busy and dangerous, with
debris removal from January's wildfire still ongoing and the Palisades
rebuilding effort in its early stages. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
A wildfire burning out of control in San Luis Obispo
County has grown to more than thirty five thousand acres.
That's just since yesterday afternoon. The fire started about halfway
between Santa Maria and Kuima. Evacuation orders and warnings have
been issued in San Luis Obispo County, and an evacuation
warning is in place for part of Santa Barbara County.
(38:57):
All right, all morning long, I have been asking or
your talkbacks. Tomorrow is the fourth of July. I hope
you all have the day off and that you get
to take a break and enjoy. I'll be here, the
wake Up Call crew will all be here working hard
because the news doesn't stop. The news doesn't get holidays.
But one thing that is shifting, one thing that's happening
is we're seeing a lot more drone displays instead of
(39:21):
fireworks displays. And so my talk back question to you
guys today was are you team fireworks or are you
team drone? So let's hear from you guys.
Speaker 8 (39:32):
It's always got to be fireworks. The drone shows are cool,
but you know, this country was founded on the explosions, bombs,
and coops. Okay, so it's like a commemoration thing. He
doesn't like fireworks.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Who doesn't like fireworks?
Speaker 16 (39:50):
Good point?
Speaker 3 (39:51):
All right, thank you for calling in. Appreciate that. Let's
see what's next here.
Speaker 13 (39:56):
I most definitely would prefer a drone show over fireworks.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Okay. See that's a passionate opinion, she said, most definitely
would prefer that. So some people enjoy the fireworks, they say,
you know, the fireworks, there is an environmental impact. There
is here in SoCal a fire potential fire impact as well.
And one of the things we're going to be doing
tomorrow is we're going to be talking to one of
(40:23):
the organizers of a major fireworks show here in southern California.
We're going to get details about that and also share
with you guys where you can still see fireworks if
you haven't major plans yet. All right, let's see we've
got a bunch of more talkbacks here. Team fireworks or
team drone show.
Speaker 16 (40:42):
Good morning, Heather, This is Stephen Bakersfield, and I'm going
to put my check mark in the fireworks column, even
though DAN drones drones, drones, drones are pretty cool fireworks.
You get the sound and the smell, and it's just
(41:07):
I don't know, honestly, I've never seen a drone show,
so I can't rightly compare that.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
I like, all right, all right, you never seen a
drone show, then how can you compare?
Speaker 11 (41:16):
All right?
Speaker 3 (41:16):
I think you need to see the drone show and
then call me back and let me know what you
think next week. See if there's any comparison there. Here
we go, there's one more drones.
Speaker 9 (41:28):
I galloped racehorses for many years, and the horses all
got scared on fourth.
Speaker 6 (41:33):
Of July, and the next morning we all had to.
Speaker 9 (41:36):
Suffer through the horrible, horrible are due to the fireworks.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
See that's another great point and another check box for
the drones. If that is something you're interested in the
effect that fireworks has on animals and pets, that's definitely
something to consider as well. These are all great calls.
Let's go one more fire Will colds driver bring you
real traffic reporterer?
Speaker 8 (42:02):
Too important part of KFI?
Speaker 10 (42:05):

Wow that guy can ye yi, sir, please have a
shot of something joyful this morning, like just enjoy enjoy
the fireworks. I was still enjoying Stevens vibe, who was
like so chill.
Speaker 4 (42:31):
He was so chill, and I like to see the fireworks.
Speaker 11 (42:35):
But well, we compromise and have.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
The drones fly around and.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
We shoot fireworks at them.
Speaker 10 (42:43):
Everybody, we'll be happy.

Then a six oh five, it's handle on the news.
The GOP has fallen in line behind President Trump to
(03:13):
make way for the Big Beautiful Bill. Republican leaders now
believe they have the votes to pass Trump's tax and
spending cuts package. Let's get started with some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
A seven to eleven employee in Hollywood allegedly beaten by
her assistant manager has died.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Jessica McLoughlin was nearing the end of her shift on
June twenty fourth, about two point fifteen of the afternoon
when her assistant manager, identified by KTLA as Valeri of Para,
allegedly threw a bottle at her and a fight began.
McLoughlin's father, Clancy, tells KTLA Para allegedly sat on his daughter,
assaulting her until she lost consciousness.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
She lost all oxygen to her brain for over ten minutes,
and she basically is declared brain dead now.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
McLoughlin reportedly told other employees she was being bullied at work.
Para fled the scene before police are She's still on
the loose. Jim Rope KFI News.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Seven people are still missing after a powerful explosion tore
through a fireworks warehouse outside Sacramento.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
Lane, shooting into the sky. Fireworks igniting as the fire
raged officials saying with the warehouse full of pyrotechnics and
the fire still burning, it was not safe to send
in search crews. One woman who says her brother and
brother in law are missing, interrupted a news conference demanding
fire crews do more.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
You guys aren't focusing on.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
People that are stuck in the warehouse, possibly been as
well as last family member's court.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
We'ied sick, and you guys are yet to give.
Speaker 8 (04:33):
Us any information.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
Authorities using unmanned aircraft to survey the wreckage.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
ABC's Andrew Deibert says authorities are using unmanned aircraft to
survey the wreckage. The bomb squad was sent to a
business in San Gabriel because of illegal fireworks. The postal
service called police around three thirty in the afternoon yesterday
about a suspicious package. They set a person admitted to
having illegal fireworks. A five hundred foot evacuations almost set
(04:58):
up around the area as a safety man while the
bomb squad removed the homemade fireworks. Hamas has hinted it
may be open to a ceasefire deal backed by the US,
but Israel's Prime minister says any agreement must end Hamas's
role in Gaza completely and joining US now to break
down the latest developments and what they could mean for
regional stability. Is ABC's Geordana Miller live in Jerusalem, Good morning.
Speaker 9 (05:23):
Good morning. Hamas has signaled that it is open to
a ceasefire, and that is very good news. The group
says that it is studying the latest proposal, a revision
of what we've been calling for months, the wit Cooff proposal,
which would include a sixty day pause in the fighting,
(05:45):
the release of ten living hostages, about eighteen bodies of
hostages staggered, both the release of living and dead hostages
staggered over those sixty days, and what we would expect,
which is hundreds of trucks of aid for the people
of Gaza each and every day. Now, there's still a
(06:07):
lot of details that are being worked out on this deal.
I know, we all know that President Trump said the
Israelis have agreed to the terms. Here in Jerusalem. There
hasn't been any official statement or response to that tweet
by the President, but it is clear sources are telling
us that President Trump is coordinating both with the mediators
(06:34):
and with Jerusalem and putting pressure on the sides to
come to an agreement, and that Jerusalem the prime Minister
Benjamin Antenno is working towards that goal. We may hear
an announcement of a deal next week when he comes
to Washington. He's meeting with President Trump on Monday, he'll
be there for a few days after. But again, all
(06:57):
of this points to what looks like a henial breakthrough
to get another ceasefire. That ceasefire is still again a
lot of details about how many palest Indian prisoners would
be released for each hostage, you know, how the Israeli
army would redeploy, and of course issues of governance, right
Hamas cannot play a role in governing the Gaza Strip.
(07:19):
Would some of their leaders be expelled or leave the
Gaza Strip? All of this still being discussed. But optimism
here really in the region for the first time in
many months, that we are going to see a ceasefire
announced in the coming days.
Speaker 10 (07:36):
Now.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Netanyahu has said that there will be no Hamas in
post war Gaza. Is that realistic and how does that
complicate any of these ceasefire negotiations?
Speaker 10 (07:49):
Right?
Speaker 9 (07:49):
Well, I think it is the position of the Israeli
Prime Minister am by the way of President Trump, that
Hamas play no role in governing the Gaza strip. Will
Hamas be destroyed every last fighter? That is I think,
you know, unrealistic. But if Hamas can be sidelined considerably
(08:13):
and not have a rule in governing the Goss's trip,
I think that is progress. In terms of disarming Hamas well,
that's that's also going to have to be a discussion,
because Hamas is unwilling to give up their arms. But
you know, I think the Israeli positioned to not have
Hamas govern is realistic. To destroy Hamas completely I think
(08:36):
is reaching too high.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
So let's talk about Iran for just a moment. We're
now hearing about major damage to nuclear sides and Iran
cutting ties with international inspectors. How serious is this escalation
and could it be a tipping point there?
Speaker 9 (08:54):
Well, I think Iran is threatening not to let the
UN's Atomic washstog group the IAEA in to look at sites,
just like they're threatening to pull out of the Non
Proliferation Treaty the MPT. But I think this is also
meant to be a kind of negotiation. What's left of
(09:15):
Iran's leverage against the international community after both the Israeli
and the US strikes, which even according to Iranian officials,
really dealt a serious blow to their program and severe damage.
You know, I think the President is confident that Iran
(09:36):
is going to come back to the table and negotiate,
and I think ultimately the Iranians really don't have another
choice but to do that.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
So you've been covering this, you know, region for many,
many years. How different does this moment feel and what
should we be watching for in the coming days.
Speaker 9 (09:56):
Well, I think that the last two years have really
been historic here. This is the longest war that is
all has ever been involved in. You know, it started
with a terrible, you know, deadly surprised strike on Israel.
But now that we're almost two years out, Hamas actually
(10:17):
initiated what is shaping up to be a major regional
power shift in the region, a shift that benefits the West,
Israel and its allies, right and certainly the United States.
We've seen Hamas, you know, they've pretty much been taken
out as a as a real power in the Gaza strip,
(10:41):
even though they won't be you know, again you can't
you can't get every fighter. Nonetheless, their capabilities have been
pretty much crushed as Baulah has been pushed back on
the northern border of Lebanon and southern Lebanon. Their whole
position of power in Lebanon now changing radically. And Iran
has been proven to be somewhat of a paper tiger.
(11:02):
And also, uh, you know, dealt a serious blow. And
we do know that the president, President Trump is talking
about expanding the Abraham Accords, bringing more countries into a
normalization deals with Israel, and that looks also set to
happen in the coming weeks. And that means that the
(11:23):
you know, the war against Iran that Israel and the
United States were fighting with some of the Gulf countries
that were moderate air nations, the tide has turned in
favor of the West and I think that will bring
more stability over time to the region.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
And do you get a day off tomorrow? You do?
Speaker 10 (11:43):
You?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Actually, you get to take any time off tomorrow for
the holiday?

I do?

be toned down a little bit, give her the situation.
Speaker 10 (12:02):
But yeah, well.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I hope you get a nice break. Enjoy your day. Off.
Speaker 9 (12:07):
Yes, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Thank you. We'll talk to you next week. Okay, bye bye.
All right, let's get back to some stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A fast moving
wildfire has burned thirty five thousand acres in Santa Barbara
and San Luis Obispo County's evacuations are underway as flames
spread near the Carrizo Plains National Monument. Sean Combs will
remain in jail until sentencing. A judge denied his request
(12:30):
for bail yesterday following the rap Moguls Convention conviction, rather
on two federal prostitution charges. ABC's Reena Roy reports Diddy's
lawyers argued for him to be released.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
At one point, he raised his hand to try and
speak is seemingly in his own defense, but instead the
judge I Nordon so Combs was sending multiple notes to
his defense team and they were really pleading with the judge.
After he was denied bail.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Combs was acquitted on racketeering and sex traffic charges. He
was found guilty of transporting people across state lines for
the purpose of engaging in prostitution. He faces twenty years
in prison. The Dodgers Clayton Kershaw has become the twentieth

(14:25):
but the decision to follow rising veaxs, vacancies rather and
safety concerns at the shopping center. The final days of
business is August twenty six, six oh five. It's handled
on the news. Brian Coberger has pleaded guilty to each
of the five counts he was charged with. We're going
to tell you the reaction from the courtroom while he
changed his plea. Sean Dinny Coombs is still in federal
(14:48):
custody after being denied bond this week despite being acquitted
of the most serious charges against him. Tracking sex trafficking
and racketeering with us now to unpack all the legal
twists and turns and what's next. ABC's Peter Hower, Lambu's goodboarding,
Peter morning.
Speaker 10 (15:04):
Thanks for for having me.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Sure so walk us through the judge's decision. Why was
did he deny bond even after being cleared of the
most serious charges.
Speaker 10 (15:14):
Yeah, so the judge acknowledged that this was in part
of victory for Shawn Combs, that he's been cleared of
really these severe charges, the ones that threatened to put
them away for in prison for life. But he pointed
to the entire defense theory as evidence for why Shawn
Combs should still be locked up. Now, if you recall,
during this entire case, the defense looked at things like
(15:34):
Shawn Combs his video assaulting Caskie Ventura and acknowledged that
that was domestic violence, that their client has flaws, that
he was a violent man at times. They argued that
while those are problematic, while those are not good, that
that doesn't amount as sex trafficking or racketeering. Ultimately, the
jury agreed with that theory. They rejected this theory that
(15:54):
Colmbs was a racketeer, that he was engaged in sex trafficking,
and convicted him on those lesser ts charges. But during
that bail argument, the judge looked back at that defense theory,
looked at at them openly acknowledging that Holmes was a
violent individual and used that as justification for keeping him
locked up, saying that Shaun Combs has a propensity for
violence and that he could still be a danger to
(16:15):
the community if released. For now, he's going to stay
in prison until the sentencing, which is currently except for
October third, though that could be moved up.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
So what do we know about the lesser charges he
was convicted of and how much prison time he could
still face because of them.
Speaker 10 (16:31):
Yeah, so he's been convicted of these two counts of
transportation to engage in prostitution. Those are much less severe
than the sex trafficking and racketeering charges. All took to
prove those charges was that Shawncombs transported people across state
lines for the purposes of prostitution, and that even if
those people were consenting adults, or even if they were
traveling for reasons other than just the prostitution. So those
(16:52):
were always considered the low hanging fruits of this case,
and prosecutor Secure secured a conviction on those. Disagreement about
how long he might get in prison between the defense
and prosecutors. Defense attorneys suggests he deserves one to two
years in prison. He's already served ten months ahead of trial. Separately,
the prosecutors have argued that he should get four to
(17:12):
five years. We're going to see that argument play out
over the coming weeks and months. Defense attorneys at this
point are vowing not to stop to continue fighting until
Shawn Combs walks out of federal prison.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Now, the sentencing date was supposed to be in October.
Is that still happening in October?
Speaker 10 (17:30):
So that's the date sent tentatively for now. Shawn Combs's
lawyers have said that they want him to get sentenced
as soon as possible, so they're willing to move that
thing up. They've asked the judge to do that. The
judge says he's going to consider that for now. He's
set a hearing excuse me, a conference for next week
to talk about the next steps of the pre sentence process.
For example, Shawn Combs needs to be interviewed by the
(17:51):
probation Department to determine whether or not he's a risk
and how he's behaved while he's been into attention. So
we should get more clarity next week when the sentencings
aretctually gonna take place.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I think I read somewhere that there is some significance
to that October third date, that that is thirty years
to the date when oj Simpson was actually acquitted of murder.
So I don't know if that played into in any
way them wanting to move the date just because of
the significance there.
Speaker 10 (18:23):
That did not dawn on me until you mentioned it.
But that sounds right. I mean, it's interesting to see
the parallels there. For what it's worth, I will know
one thing that was interesting to see was how similarly
emotional it was for Seawn Films yesterday. Of course, he
was disappointed when he heard that he wasn't going to
get released, but the victory, the amount of emotion you
(18:45):
saw on him when he learned that he was acquitted
of moose most serious charges. He literally got down to
his hands and knees and began to pray. In the courtroom,
he thanked individually the jurors, he thinks his family. In
the gallery, he had multiple rounds of applause. Really the
kinds of emotion you rarely see in the court unless
you have a high profile acquittal like we saw yesterday.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
You know, what was interesting about this case to me
is that there was an expectation going into it that
we were going to see all of these high profile
people exposed this you know, CD sex ring or you know,
whatever people were thinking would come out of this, that
we were going to have all these big names revealed,
(19:24):
and that didn't really seem to happen. And I don't
know if that was because prosecution didn't have that information,
if it's because it just maybe didn't exist. Do you
think that there was Is there anything left on the table?
I guess, you know, they did. They put it all
out there.
Speaker 10 (19:44):
You know, they didn't necessarily and that was intentional on
the judges part. He acknowledged that while there was some
public benefited this being this playing out publicly, there was
a harm to victims if it was all exposed. So
there are certain things we just didn't really hear that
much about. We didn't see, for example, the videos of
these alleged freak golfs because that was considered too sensitive
(20:04):
for public release. And we heard about very high profile
individuals who were involved tangentially in this case who remained unnamed.
For example, there was one prominent rapper who flew one
of Combs's ex girlfriends to Las Vegas for a weekend
of partying similar to the same similar kind of voyeurism
and sex parties that Shaun Combs engaged in the name
(20:26):
of that proper remains a mystery to this day. We're
not going to learn that name. But overall, we're certainly
not seeing the list of celebrities that some people speculated
might have come through of this case. If anything, one
thing that did become clear by the time this jury
reached diverted, it was that they believe that what Shaun
Combs was engaging in was largely private matters. Is what
(20:47):
happened inside his bedroom was basically something that didn't necessarily
have to bleed out into the public space, and that
they believe what they saw here was consensual, that it
wasn't sex trafficking, and that what happened to his bedroom
should make states the bedroom.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
All right, Peter Haro Lampus, thank you so much for
your time this morning.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
Thanks for for having me.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
All right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. House
Republicans are ready to vote on President Trump's four point
five trillion dollar spending bill. Party leaders were up all night,
and the President himself worked to persuade skeptical holdouts to
drop their opposition and deliver by the fourth of July deadline.
The package extends tax cuts said to expire at the
(21:29):
end of the year to help offset lost revenue. It
cuts about one point two trillion dollars in Medicaid, healthcare,
and food stamps programs, and rolls back green energy investments.
Democrats oppose the so called Big Beautiful Bill. A Los
Angeles City councilman wants to get rid of the death penalty.
Speaker 12 (21:48):
Hugo Sodo Martinez has called on Governor Newsom to commute
all remaining death row sentences in the state. He introduced
a resolution urging the governor to use his clemency power
to eliminate death row. Sodo Martinez said in a statement
that the death penalty is an outdated punishment that drains
public resources and doesn't reflect the promise of a just system.
According to his office, California's death row is the largest
(22:12):
in the nation, with nearly six hundred people awaiting execution.
Deborah mark Koffi news.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Video from a Pico Rivera school shows what appears to
be federal agents urinating on campus. The footage, released by
L Ranto Unified, shows Border patrol vehicles at Reuben Salazar
High School, where agents are seen relieving themselves behind shipping containers.
Officials say the agent's trespassed near an active elementary summer
session and expose themselves near miners. Local leaders are demanding
(22:42):
a full federal investigation. The man charge with murdering four
University of Idaho students has pleaded guilty as part of
a plea deal. Are you pleading guilty because you are guilty?
Speaker 10 (22:53):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Brian Kohenberger agreed to the deal just weeks before his
trial was to begin in order to avoid the death penalty.
He is set to be sentenced later this month to
four consecutive life sentences. A baseball player is still getting
more than a million a year despite not playing for
twenty three years.
Speaker 13 (23:10):
Bobby Binnie has been paid his annual just under one
point two million dollars from the New York Mets. The
July first payday will continue for another ten years when
he's seventy two, despite him not playing for the Mets
since nineteen ninety nine and not at all since two
thousand and one. But he is making more than many
current players are making annually. Other retired players are still
making money from their old teams, and current players have
similar deals with even bigger numbers. The Dodgers sho Heeo
(23:33):
Tani has a similar deal where he's getting only two
million a year until twenty thirty three, but sixty eight
millionaire for the next ten years after that, whether he's
playing or not. Michael Krozer KFI News.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
A church in Torrens has been vandalized at least eight
times in recent weeks, with rocks and bricks shattering, stained

Seven people were hospitalized after a suspected overdose at Los
(24:06):
Padrino's Juvenile Hall. Narcan was used on site and the
facility was placed on lockdown yesterday. This comes a day
after nonprofit worker was caught smuggling in drugs and amid
years of abuse and safety scandals troubling the facility. San
Bardino County Fire is exploring cutting edge airtech to speed
up emergency response. They're eyeing electric flying vehicles E tolls.
(24:31):
I think it's EV tolls that don't need a pilot's
license and can land on water. Officials say it could
save lives in remote or congested areas and cost far
less than a helicopter. Then at six zh five it
is handle on the news. Governor Newsom was in Burbank
to join local leaders to sign the seven hundred and
fifty million dollar film and TV tax credit. We're going
(24:53):
to break it all down, tell you why, heat and
industry leaders hope this is going to bring more production
back to the state. Right now, this is when Amy
usually does her Amy's Out and About segment. And since
I'm here, I'm going to tell you a little bit
about what I got to do this last week. I
went to Shakespeare in the Park with my family. If
(25:16):
you don't know, every year in the summer, there is
a local organization called the Independent Shakespeare Company and they
put on productions of Shakespeare in the Park. It's totally free.
It's at Griffith Park. I've been taking my daughters since
she was maybe like four years old, and now it's
become this summer tradition, this family tradition that we do
(25:38):
where we pack up a little lunch, have some snacks,
and we go out and we watch the performers. And
every year it just gets better and better. And as
a matter of fact, I'm going to be sharing more
about that with you tomorrow on a wake up call
and give you guys a little closer look at how
you can join in on all of the fun there.
(25:59):
The other fun thing that I want to talk about
this week is Superman. Superman is going to be opening
July eleventh, and this week I was invited by Warner
Brothers to go and get a closer look at some
of the set pieces and some of the props and
costumes and things that were used in the film. Now listen,
(26:20):
if you don't know, I'm a big film and television fan.
I am also an actor and a comedian. On my
that's my side, hustle, I guess you'd say, or is
this my side hustle. I guess we'll never know. But
that's what I love to do. I love anything that
it's involving the entertainment industry. So I try to stay
connected with that as much as possible. So any chance
(26:41):
I get to go and you know, take a look
at where something was filmed or the costume, you know,
the artistry that goes into filmmaking, I want to do that.
And I also have seen the movie. Now here's the deal.
We had to like sign our name in blood that
we would not give spoilers or talk about the movie
in any way, so I can't tell you yet what
(27:03):
I think about it, but I definitely will next week
once the embargo has lifted, and I'll definitely share that
on Gary and Shannon's show as well for my weekly
entertainment segment. And if you get a chance, if you
want to hear more about the entertainment stories that I
cover here in Soco or on the Silver Screen, you
can check out entertain Me. It is my new show
(27:24):
on iHeart here and it comes out a couple times
a week, so there's lots of fun local stories to
talk about local events and happenings here. But also we're
going to talk about movies and television shows that are
coming out that you don't want to miss, do we have?
So that's me, that's me out and about Yay. We
have Courtney on the phone now, so we're gonna I'll
(27:45):
just stop rambling and we'll chat with Courtney. Good morning, Courtney, good.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Morning, nice dairy again, Heather.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Thank you. Well, I'm you know what, I'm the B team.
I'm in for Amy while she's on vacation, So I'm
excited to be here.
Speaker 14 (27:59):
I wish we were both on vacation, right, do you
get tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Do you get tomorrow off?
Speaker 5 (28:05):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, the markets are closed tomorrow.
Speaker 14 (28:07):
Well, so, actually that's been a big game changer for
Wall Street because usually the monthly employment report from the
government is released on the first Friday of the month. However,
it's a day early today due to the holiday, and
we just got this key pivotal report in jobs Day
is a big thing for Wall Street. So so far,
the nation's job market has shown a lot of resilience
(28:28):
with the big dose of uncertainty when it comes to
the economy. So we're at the halfway point of twenty
twenty five and it looks like the labor market is
still holding up. The US add at one hundred and
forty seven thousand jobs last month. E condoms were expecting
a lot less one hundred and six thousand, so much
better than what Wall Street was estimating. The unemployment rate
actually ticked lower to four point one percent. Some people
(28:50):
were expecting, or some economists were expecting that to tick higher.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
But the message from Fed Chair J.
Speaker 14 (28:57):
Powell has been that the economy is in a good
place and this should give an officials time to wait
and see more about tariffs, how that's going to affect
inflation before they make any changes when it comes to
interest rates. But Wall Street's cheering this so far, the
reaction is pretty good on Wall Street. SMP futures are
up about fourteen points in down futures up eighty five.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
All right, So let's talk about the extreme weather that
we're seeing right now. I guess it's causing people to
skip a trip to the amusement park.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (29:25):
Theme parks are seeing the slowest summer starts since the pandemic.
Crowds are a lot thinner than usual at United Parks
and Resorts destinations that includes SeaWorld, Bush Gardens, Sesame Place. Meantime,
attendance has dropped seventeen percent at six Flags theme parks
around the country. So we had this wet start in
April through a lot of the country and that's given
(29:47):
way to scorching heat.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
We had a heat dome.
Speaker 14 (29:49):
Over us here for a while we weren't going to
six Flags, but that also hit a lot of the country.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
But it seems this is the interesting part.
Speaker 14 (29:57):
It seems that a lot of people are giving up
going to roller coasters because of the heat, and they're
moving to movie theaters and bowling alleys and they've seen
a nineteen percent jump in foot traffic. There's a company
that actually tracks things like that. Police are AI and
they said, yeah, more people are heading there because of
the weather.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Why can't they skip going to Disneyland. That's what I want.
That park is always packed. It could be one thousand
degrees and there will be nine hundred people in every
line for Disney or more for Disneyland.
Speaker 14 (30:26):
Are the same with Disney World in Florida. I don't
know what kind of magic they have. It's got to
be the Mauth magic.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
They have something in the water over there. Okay, this
is interesting. Blazers are out and hoodies are in at
the office. I'm so mad. I actually forgot my hoodie
this morning and then Will came in and turn on
the air conditioning in the booth and now I'm freezing.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Oh my goodness, I'm wearing a blanket.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
I always tell you, you.
Speaker 14 (30:50):
Know, it's it's a female winter. That's what we call
summer here. Yes, summer in the office, but it's actually
a summer of skin at the office. We're seeing a
lot more folks wearing crop tops and shorts to work.
We're also hearing the beachy sounds of flip flops near
the water cooler. There are a few reasons why more
workers are dressing down to our corporate meetings. It seems
(31:11):
that many companies actually haven't issued guidance on what to where.
Funny enough, we have to tell people that, according to
a survey from monster dot com, just fifty seven percent
say they work in an office with the dress code. Plus,
fashion experts are telling The Wall Street Journal that more
people are looking to show off their new body with
the daring clothes at the office. After shutting a few
pounds on ozembic.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
All right, I don't want anyone here to show off
their body at KFI Will and Cono. You guys keep
it together.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Oh yeah, crocheted shirts, that's the trend. That's what they say.
People are wearing the trends.
Speaker 14 (31:43):
They have all these fashion influencers saying, oh, this is
a cool thing to wear at the office.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
But yeah, now bizarre.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
All right, lover yourself up, Forny, Thank you so much.
Oh great talking to you. Have a great weekend.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Than Thank you you two. All right, let's get back
to some of the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. Exposure to an unknown substance at
Los Padrino's juvenile Hall in Downy sent nine people, including
a juvenile detainee, to the hospital.
Speaker 15 (32:10):
The facility was placed on lockdown as an investigation took place.
Emergency crews responded to a call for a suspected overdose
and possible exposure to an unknown substance. Eight staff members
and one youth were transported to area hospitals. Just two
days prior, a nonprofit worker was arrested for allegedly trying
to smuggle drugs into the facility. Since reopening in twenty
(32:30):
twenty three, Los Padrinos has faced criticism over safety and
inmate abuse.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Aileen Gonzalez KFI News, a seven eleven employee allegedly attacked
by her manager in Hollywood, has died. Jessica McLoughlin was
hurt on June twenty fourth and had been on life
support at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital. Her father says she died
yesterday morning. Family members say McLoughlin was finishing her shift
when she got into a heated argument with the store's
assistant manager. They say the manager antagonized McLoughlin and threw
(32:58):
a bottle at her, and that the fire escalated from there.
The manager was gone when police arrived. Doctor Phil's television network,
Merritt Street Media, has filed for bankruptcy. In addition to
the Chapter eleven declaration, its suing Christian television companies Trinity
Broadcasting and TCT Ministries for allegedly hurting its business and
(33:20):
backing out of their obligations. The suit claims Trinity failed
to provide agreed upon national distribution and is seeking damages
and legal fees. A strike has been averted for now.
The union representing over forty five thousand grocery workers that
Ralph Vaughan's, Albertson's and Pavilions has reached a tentative contract deal.
It includes higher wages and better benefits. The DOJ is
(33:42):
ramping up efforts to strip US citizenship from naturalized Americans
accused of serious crimes, including fraud, war crimes, and human
rights abuses. And Jurassic World Rebirth is roaring at the
box office, on track to earn one hundred and twenty
seven million dollars in the US and two hundred fifty
million worldwide. We're just minutes away from handle on the
(34:02):
news this morning, a five year old girl went overboard
on the Disney cruise. We're going to tell you what
happened and why her dad jumped in to save her.
It looks like America's youngest eaters are making some healthier choices,
or maybe their parents are joining us. Now with more
insights into these new findings, is ABC's Jim Ryan. Good morning, Jim, Heather,
how are you.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
I'm good.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
I'm good. Now I'm thinking about fast foods. So let's
let's talk about this. Let's start with the good news.
How much of a drop are we seeing in kids'
fast food consumptions? And what is the time period this covers?
Speaker 11 (34:34):
Well, the study, the latest study has to do with
the period between August of twenty twenty one and August
of twenty twenty three, and during that period, kids age
two through nineteen consumed an average of eleven point four
percent of their daily calories from fast food. Sounds like
a lot, but consider that before that period back here
in twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, the number was fourteen percent,
(34:57):
So it is dropping. That's significant, eleven from fourteen percent
down to eleven point four percent. So yeah, kids are
getting fewer their calories every day from fast food.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
I have to say, I have a twelve year old
and she is not into fast food in the same
way that I remember I was at her age, or
even than I am now. So there is definitely some
truth to this. So is there any insight into why
this shift is happening. Is it because we as parents
are making better choices or more nutritional awareness.
Speaker 11 (35:28):
Unfortunately, the parents aren't making really better choices, at least
not for their kids. Yeah, because people twenty to thirty nine,
almost half of them eat fast food every single day.
Men more are slightly more likely to eat fast food
than women, and so yeah, but it could be in
fact that parents are making better choices for their kids.
(35:48):
You also see I think kind of a subtle shift
in how these products are marketed. These fast food joints.
You know, they are there to make money, and so
they respond to consumer demand. So fifteen twenty years ago,
when consumers were saying, you know what, could you maybe
add something healthier to this menu along with the burgers
and fries and shakes and all the rest, and they
(36:09):
started putting in salads and you know, less fatty stuff,
less kiloric stuff, and so they responded to that. And
over the last few years, as parents are demanding quit
marketing stuff to my kids, stop advertising stuff directed at
my children, and then having them come to me and
demand this fast food or whatever it might be. So
(36:30):
that may be a part of it that they're changing
the marketing of these products.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
So do we know what age groups or regions are
driving the adult fast food habits the most?
Speaker 11 (36:40):
Yes, well, for parents, For adults, it's people twenty to
thirty nine, they're the ones who are eating the most
fast food and almost half of them having it every
single day, men over women. And I was shocked at this, Heather.
You know, we hear about food islands, food deserts right
in neighborhoods where you don't have a grocery store, or
somebody will put up a fast food joint and they'll
(37:02):
be feeding the whole neighborhood instead of fresh food, they're
eating fried food or fast food. But this new study,
this latest statistic shows that higher income brackets, people with
the six digit figure six figure salary are more inclined
to eat fast food than people with lower salaries, people
below one hundred thousand dollars, which is fascinating because that
(37:25):
kind of flies in the face of this thinking that
food desserts are ending up with people in lower income
areas eating a lot more fast food.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Or the idea that the more money you have, the
more you're going to spend on healthier foods and healthier options.
So that's really interesting.
Speaker 11 (37:43):
You're on something, but apparently it isn't the healthy food.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Yeah, this is one of those do as I say,
not as I do, I think moments for opinions. Well, Jim,
thank you so much. Always enjoy talking with you.
Speaker 9 (37:55):
Thanks Heather.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
All Right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Commercial
disaster tours have been capitalizing on the rubble in the
Pacific Palisades.
Speaker 7 (38:05):
The Early City Council has voted to restrict disaster tours
taking paying customers to see what's left of the palisades.
Councilman Tracy Park says the restriction will last as long
as the local emergency declaration remains.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
While the prohibition is in place, the department will be
able to look at a permanent set of restrictions for
this very sensitive area.
Speaker 7 (38:24):
Park says, the streets are already busy and dangerous, with
debris removal from January's wildfire still ongoing and the Palisades
rebuilding effort in its early stages. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
A wildfire burning out of control in San Luis Obispo
County has grown to more than thirty five thousand acres.
That's just since yesterday afternoon. The fire started about halfway
between Santa Maria and Kuima. Evacuation orders and warnings have
been issued in San Luis Obispo County, and an evacuation
warning is in place for part of Santa Barbara County.
(38:57):
All right, all morning long, I have been asking or
your talkbacks. Tomorrow is the fourth of July. I hope
you all have the day off and that you get
to take a break and enjoy. I'll be here, the
wake Up Call crew will all be here working hard
because the news doesn't stop. The news doesn't get holidays.
But one thing that is shifting, one thing that's happening
is we're seeing a lot more drone displays instead of
(39:21):
fireworks displays. And so my talk back question to you
guys today was are you team fireworks or are you
team drone? So let's hear from you guys.
Speaker 8 (39:32):
It's always got to be fireworks. The drone shows are cool,
but you know, this country was founded on the explosions, bombs,
and coops. Okay, so it's like a commemoration thing. He
doesn't like fireworks.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Who doesn't like fireworks?
Speaker 16 (39:50):
Good point?
Speaker 3 (39:51):
All right, thank you for calling in. Appreciate that. Let's
see what's next here.
Speaker 13 (39:56):
I most definitely would prefer a drone show over fireworks.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Okay. See that's a passionate opinion, she said, most definitely
would prefer that. So some people enjoy the fireworks, they say,
you know, the fireworks, there is an environmental impact. There
is here in SoCal a fire potential fire impact as well.
And one of the things we're going to be doing
tomorrow is we're going to be talking to one of
(40:23):
the organizers of a major fireworks show here in southern California.
We're going to get details about that and also share
with you guys where you can still see fireworks if
you haven't major plans yet. All right, let's see we've
got a bunch of more talkbacks here. Team fireworks or
team drone show.
Speaker 16 (40:42):
Good morning, Heather, This is Stephen Bakersfield, and I'm going
to put my check mark in the fireworks column, even
though DAN drones drones, drones, drones are pretty cool fireworks.
You get the sound and the smell, and it's just
(41:07):
I don't know, honestly, I've never seen a drone show,
so I can't rightly compare that.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
I like, all right, all right, you never seen a
drone show, then how can you compare?
Speaker 11 (41:16):
All right?
Speaker 3 (41:16):
I think you need to see the drone show and
then call me back and let me know what you
think next week. See if there's any comparison there. Here
we go, there's one more drones.
Speaker 9 (41:28):
I galloped racehorses for many years, and the horses all
got scared on fourth.
Speaker 6 (41:33):
Of July, and the next morning we all had to.
Speaker 9 (41:36):
Suffer through the horrible, horrible are due to the fireworks.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
See that's another great point and another check box for
the drones. If that is something you're interested in the
effect that fireworks has on animals and pets, that's definitely
something to consider as well. These are all great calls.
Let's go one more fire Will colds driver bring you

Speaker 11 (42:35):
