App k f I and kost HT two Los Angeles,
Orange County.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I got really good as Amy Kay.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Good morning. It's five o'clock, straight up. This is your
wake up call for Thursday, April seventeenth. I'm Amy King.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Wherever you're tuning
in this morning, we appreciate it. Have you been watching
the Eglitz? I know that we haven't talked about them much,
but they're still there. And I check and there's still
(00:53):
tens of thousands of people watching our little eagles. Sonny
and Gizmo called the little one Rocky. And I was
watching comments yesterday because they have during the live stream,
they take comments sometimes and this one lady goes, oh
my god, Sunny's bigger than my Pomeranian. They're getting really big,
and right now you can't see him because they're in
(01:14):
for a camera's broke. But if you get a chance,
not a nice it's not a bad way to kind
of spend the afternoon. I had my brother over for
dinner over the weekend, and so I just turned it
on on my TV. So I was watching it and
I was like, this is actually the size that they
almost are. In fact, it they're still probably bigger, but
watching them just sitting there on the big screen was
kind of cool. Okay, medium string. I don't have a
(01:35):
big screen. I have a medium screen TV. Also, I
want to let you know I'm walking wounded today. I
think I broke my finger. I'm not sure. I know
cono well, I don't know that it's broken. It is swollen,
but it's not black and blue yet, and I can
move it. So but I tripped last night going up
some stairs and just jam the crap out of it.
(01:58):
So it's really hard to type the morning. I'm telling
you it's a new experience in pain. But we'll get
through it together. Right, Okay, let's get going. We got
a lot going on. Here's what's ahead on wake up call.
Eric and lyleman Endez are expected to appear virtually for
a two day hearing that gets underway this morning in
Van Eys. The judge gonna hear arguments for and against
(02:18):
the brother's request to be re sentenced for the murder
of their parents in nineteen eighty nine. Da Nathan Hoffman
has requested a delay, so we're going to have to
wait and see if the judge grants that. Kfi's Michael
Monks is there. He's going to be bringing us the
latest throughout the day. About seventy students in Orange County
have had their student visas revoked by the Trump administration.
(02:41):
Attorney General Rob Bonta and nineteen other states attorney general
are challenging the administration over student visa revocations. Look Up
in the sky, the Lerid meteor shower is underway. The
annual celestial display started last night. It'll go through April
twenty fifth, says the media. Showers expected to peak next
(03:03):
week on April twenty first and twenty second. And all
you need to see it is clear weather in a
dark sky. So is AI making us dumber? ABC's Jim
Ryan's going to join us in about two minutes to
tell us. We've been talking about how tariffs are going
to affect car sales and lumber and steal, but what
about the little guy. We're going to talk to the
CEO of Women Business Collaborative at five point twenty to
(03:26):
talk about how small businesses could get hit really hard.
I've got an Amy's on it out and about mashup
for you today at the bottom of the hour, we're
headed to the studio at five point fifty. Griffith Park
is going high tech for hiking, and we're going to
tell you how you can help make our little urban
sanctuary even better. As we head towards Earth Day, we're
(03:47):
going to be talking with Brenda Reese with friends of
Griffith Park. Let's get started with some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four our newsroom. A
hearing on the re sentencing of the Menendez brothers is
set to start this morning. Legal analyst Alison Treesil tells
KTLA both sides been going over their arguments for a
while now.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Either Eric and Lyle should be re sentenced or, as
the prosecution will surely argue, these two still pose a
danger to public safety.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
As I mentioned, kfi's Michael Monks is going to be
at the Van Nights Courthouse with complete coverage for US
all morning and all afternoon. A man has died after
an officer involved shooting at the end of a wild
high speed chase in Orange County. This woman lives near
where it happened in Anaheim.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Well, well, so you just here.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Like what it sounds like gunshots.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
First of we thought it was a car, but then
everyone started running off. Soon it was gunshots.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Police shot the driver last night after disabling his pickup
truck with a pit maneuver on a bridge above the
Santa Ana River. The Ventura County Sheriff's Office says two
of its deputies have been arrested.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
News release issued Wednesday says deputies Anthony Melagon and Dylan
Davis were arrested while off duty on March thirtieth. They
were allegedly involved in what's being called a domestic incident
at a restaurants in Camill.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Kfi's Daniel Martindale says a security guard who intervened got
hurt and had to be taken to the hospital. The
Port of La has been ordered to clean up its act.
Speaker 7 (05:13):
A tentative settlement has been reached against the City of
La for alleged violations of the Federal Clean Water Act.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
The Port of La.
Speaker 7 (05:20):
Has to improve its management of storm water and groundwater
to make sure toxic pollutants stay out of the harbor.
The lawsuit brought by La based Environment California last year
alleged that there have been more than two thousand illegal
discharges of pollution in the previous five years at the port.
Deborah mark Koffi News a gray whale.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Has been freed after its tail became entangled in gill
metting in the waters off Rancho Palace Verties. Noah Fisheries
officials say the twenty five foot whale got tangled and
tethered to a rock crab trap. It had been dragging
it along the seafloor from Newport Beach to Rancho Palace
Verties for about a week and a half. Half A
crew was able to untangle and release the whale that
(06:04):
quickly swam away. Let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim,
artificial intelligence is here, but do we even know what
it can do? And are we using it?
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (06:19):
Are we afraid of it?
Speaker 9 (06:20):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yes? Yes, I still am.
Speaker 8 (06:22):
You've heard of Quinnipiac University, right, that's that Connecticut school
and they do surveys on things all year long about
different things. Now they've gone out and they've asked over
a thousand people around the country. So what do you
know about AI and how do you feel about artificial intelligence? Well,
betting upon your age. You either accept it, you're okay
with it, or you're terrified that it's going to take
(06:42):
over the world. The older you are, the more you
fall into that latter group. Right, But it also depends
not just on your age, but on the task that
you're asking AI to do. When it comes to, for example,
medical advances, fifty nine percent of Americans think AI will
do more good than harm. But if you ask it
(07:02):
to screen health insurance claims or screen loan applications or
job applications, people are more queasy about it, and they
can't support artificial intelligence doing that. They would rather have
a person sitting across the desk.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I would agree with that, like, because I think when
you take the human factor out, like you mentioned a resume,
someone might look great on a resume, but in person,
they're just they're not dynamic, engaging, they can't think on
their feet, that kind of stuff. I mean, So it's
taking a huge part of the equation out.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
Sure well, or the opposite. You know, somebody isn't that
dynamic or is a real go getter, but it doesn't
show on paper. Yeah, and AI might kick that person
out of the process. Maybe that could be a problem.
So yeah, it largely depends upon the job you're asking
it to do. More than eight and ten Americans, though,
are either very concerned or a little concerned that a
(08:00):
I will diminish the ability of people in the youngest
generation to think for themselves. In other words, that that
were dumbing down the youngest generation, because AI will be
doing all the thinking for us.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Well, you know, and that I mean, when you think
about it, it's already underway. If you think about like smartphones,
we don't remember phone numbers anymore. I know, like three
phone numbers. I know my phone number from when I
was five years old, but I you know, I don't
know my next door neighbor's phone number anymore. And like,
think about it, appointments, You put an appointment in your
(08:31):
phone and then you forget about it and then it
reminds you. Or even driving directions.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Right, that's a big one too.
Speaker 8 (08:37):
And you know I used to get around with a
map skill, you know, the remember the map books in
the back of the car and.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
The Thomas guides. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Sure.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
But at the same time, somebody suggested earlier today to
me that you know, every piece of technology that comes
along is going to destroy civilization. AI included, right, but
think back to the Abbacus thousands of years ago. Suddenly
people were freaking out. You don't have to learn math
anymore because you've got this this row of this column
of bars with beads on it. You're going to use
(09:06):
this instead of thinking, come on and.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Look at us thinking, well, you know, now we've got
our I.
Speaker 8 (09:15):
Take it back.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
We did ruin us with ourselves, with the advocates.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
So here's the thought though, if we if we use
a I, will we get worse? Or could we use
AI to help make us smarter?
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Right?
Speaker 8 (09:29):
And I think that's that's one possibility, and where you
can learn it as use it as a learning tool. Absolutely,
So while AI is teaching itself and learning, it can
also be teaching you whatever it is you want to
know and doing so kind of a personal way.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, but I think you're right. I mean, like I'm
so worried about it, and I know that I use
it because like when I Google something now and it'll
say AI generated response. But you got to be careful
because a lot of times it's wrong.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
So found out yesterday.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I still needs us, We're still necessary.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Jim, Thank Evid.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
All right. ABC's Jim Ryan always necessary on wake up call.
Thanks for joining us today. Thanks Bhabe, all right, We'll
talk to you soon. Let's get back to some of
the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
The Trump administration is facing possible contempt charges over two
deportation flights to El Salvador. ABC's Nicole Antonio says the
flights continued after a federal judge ordered they be turned around.
Speaker 7 (10:27):
Judge James Sposburg saying the administration displayed a wilful disregard
for his order. His investigation could eventually include officials testifying
under oath.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
She says. The judge could also appoint an independent lawyer
to prosecute the administration. The New York Attorney General, who
led and won a civil fraud trial against President Trump
Remember That for inflating the value of Israel estate, has
now been accused of committing mortgage fraud. Letitia James hasn't
been charged, but the case is being referred to the
(10:57):
Department of Justice. The complaint says James's falsified records to
get sweetheart home loans for a home that she apparently
didn't live in the Supreme Court in the UK has
ruled the legal definition of a woman is someone born
a biological female. ABC's James Longman says the ruling clarifies
whether transgender women are protected from discrimination under Britain's equality law.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
JK.
Speaker 10 (11:20):
Rowling and other women like her say we fought for
decades for women's rights.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
For feminism, The ruling goes on to say transgender people
are still protected against discrimination and harassment. Ford dealers are
being told unless the Trump administration changes its tariff's policy,
they can expect the price of vehicles to go up.
ABC's Dave Packer says Ford has sent a memo out
(11:47):
to its dealerships.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
The automaker offered deep discounts across this lineup starting earlier
this month through the beginning of June, but the memo
making clear that any vehicle that's produced from May on
will see a price increase if nothing changes with the.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Tariffsmo says any Ford cars or trucks ordered now will
have a guaranteed price, even if the vehicle isn't produced
or delivered until after May. The CEO of a large
e commerce company has said AI could maybe do certain
jobs better than people.
Speaker 10 (12:15):
The CEO at Shopify has told his managers no new
hires unless it can be proven they'll be better than
artificial intelligence. Sacramento based CEO of My out Desk, Daniel Ramsey,
says that's not the right approach.
Speaker 11 (12:26):
Fear is always the lack of knowledge, so educating people
about how it works and how they could use it,
and then being encouraging.
Speaker 10 (12:34):
Ramsey's company helps connect businesses to virtual staffing and says
AI should be viewed as a tool that existing employees
should be introduced to and encouraged to use, not replaced.
By Michael Monks, KFI News.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
All about AI this morning. In what could be a
major discovery in the search for life beyond Earth, scientists
say they've detected unusual gases in the atmosphere of a
faraway planet, but University of Cambridge professor Niku Madhasuden says
more study is needed.
Speaker 12 (13:04):
We have found signs of biosignature molecules either dms or
dmds or both, both of which are produced uniquely by
life here on Earth.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
The discovery was made using the James Webb telescope, fresh

Keyword AM five seventy LA Sports La County DA Nathan
Hawkman has asked for a delay for today's scheduled resentencing
hearing for Eric and Lylemanendez. He says they need time
to review a new parole board assessment. The hearing is
scheduled to start and Van Nis at nine thirty are
(13:59):
Michael Munks to be there covering it all day for US.
Three people have been arrested in connection with more than
two dozen break ins in North Hollywood between January and March.
The LAPD says the three homeless men hit both homes
and businesses and apparently told police they did it to
pay for their drug habits. Stocks have dropped again following
the Federal Reserve chairman saying he expects inflation to rise
(14:22):
and economic growth to slow because of tariffs. Speaking of tariffs,
let's say good morning to the chief executive officer of
the Women Business Collaborative. It's Gwen Rece. Good morning, Gwen
A So I'm sorry, it's Gwen.
Speaker 13 (14:36):
Young morning Amy when y no problem, Good morning.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I'm good. We're talking to Brenda Reese a little bit later,
so I just mixed you guys up. So, Gwen, before
we get started and jump in and talk about these
the tariffs, tell us a little bit about what your organization,
Women Business Collaborative does. So we have a frame of reference.
Speaker 13 (14:58):
Absolutely, So we are a co collaborative, which means we
have eighty seven organization, sixty seven sponsors, and three hundred
individuals that are committed to growing women in business. And
related to this conversation, about forty percent of our collaborative
is women owned businesses. So we are there to support
and grow these businesses and help continue to grow the economy.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Okay, awesome, So let's talk about tariffs. A lot of
focus has been on the car makers and things like
lumber and steal. We just had a story about Fords
and on a memo to its dealership saying, hey, if
the tariffs take hold, prices are going to go up,
but as the tariffs take hold. If they do, they
could have a huge effect on small businesses. So what
(15:38):
kind of things are the small businesses experiencing?
Speaker 13 (15:43):
Well, i'm the small businesses which are about either you know,
forty four percent of economic activity and actually have small
businesses and all businesses women are about forty percent. You know,
what we're seeing is these are math market goods, these
are necessities, These are consumers good these are toys, these
are clothing, apparel, makeup, and so forth. So it's a
(16:05):
really interesting, you know, group of businesses. And these are
businesses and have smaller profit margins, right, which means that
any disruption in their supplies if they put into their
business or their outputs, you know, they just don't have
that ability to weather a shock, right, So that means
can they pass it on to the consumer? Do they
have to shutter? Do they have access to financing? And
(16:27):
unlike those those bigger companies, they have less access to
financing an opportunity, So they're really being impacted by you know,
what may or may not happen in the shifts in
what the tariffs are going to be.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
And have they already started to feel the effects. Are
we still sort of in a holding pattern since almost
everything's been passed, well not China though, but pretty much
everything else has been paused for ninety days. But those
tariffs are still in place for China. So are people
feeling the pinch already?
Speaker 13 (16:57):
They are feeling the pinch already, and they're already starting
to you know, advocate, you know, describe what that what
that effect looks like. If you're a business that regards
on a supply that you would, you know, bring from China.
Clothing is one of the biggest thing where the world's
biggest importer of clothing, so they're starting to fill at effect.
Prices are going up and I need to think it
was last week we saw an article that said you
(17:18):
can expect prices to raise by ten to twenty five
percent right now, and things like toys by about twenty
three percent. So the impacts are immediate and it's impacting also,
you know, local businesses are people that we're going to
start a business because where are you going to get
those supplies? Where are you going to find that financing?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, and then even if they can whether the storm,
like you said, they've got a lot of decisions to make.
I mean like, do they cut hours for their workers,
do they increase prices? Do they offer fewer items? So
there's a lot of decisions that are going to have
to be.
Speaker 13 (17:50):
Made, absolutely, And part of it too is you know,
like I said earlier, you know, we get packaging things
for packaging manufactured out side of the United States. So
if you don't have somewhere to buy that that changes
your financials, It changes your investment and money that you need.
And women still access only two percent of all available capital.
(18:13):
So you're making immediate decisions about what you can do
and how you can operate.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, and so you mentioned women and I know you
work with a women business collaborative. What extra challenges do
women owned businesses have?
Speaker 13 (18:27):
Well, I think they say, you know, they say sort
of two extra challenges right women owned businesses is one
is they don't have the same networks and they are
not represented in some of these larger industries at the
same rate as men are, which means what they don't
have the type of partnerships, they don't have access to
capital and finance, and then definitely probably don't have that
sort of advocacy power or that flexibility to figure out
(18:48):
where to absorb those prices or how they can raise
the prices. Plus many are manufacturing, you know, many of
our consumer goods and the goods that we use every day,
so you know, passing a price long to the consumer
really is going to impact their business and what they're
going to be able to sell. So they really do
facing new challenges.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Okay, Gwen, is there anything that we wake up call
listeners can do to help out the small businesses?
Speaker 13 (19:13):
Well, I think a couple of things. I mean we
always say, you know, by local, you know, and that
sort of thing, and try to do what we can do.
But you know, the advocacy right now is let's get
some exemptions for those small businesses. Let's look at the
impact on the small businesses, and let's find where big
companies you know and local, national, and federal government can
support those small businesses. So if we can continue to
(19:33):
make that drum week drum beat call for that action
and support those small businesses, that's what we can do
to help them stay alive.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Local and small is always good. Gwen Young, the CEO
of Women Business Collaborative, Thanks so much for helping kind
of sort through this with us today. Go Small Business, Thank.
Speaker 13 (19:50):
Any Goo, Small Business looks people working together, Take Care.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
A new ad campaign has been created to draw more
young people to jobs with the LAPD.
Speaker 10 (20:00):
Video features the campaign's branding, unrivaled since eighteen sixty nine.
Speaker 9 (20:04):
Only those who dare who come to appreciate the perseverance
and sacrifice the choir.
Speaker 10 (20:09):
LAPD chief Jim McDonald says the department is short more
than a thousand officers despite a record number of applications,
but they.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Also apply other places at the same time, and the
smaller departments are more nimble and able to offer a
job quicker than we have been.
Speaker 10 (20:23):
McDonald says he hopes the new campaign helps create a
better image for the department with younger applicants. Michael Monks
KFI News.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
A woman who said that she didn't even realize she'd
been shot is in critical condition. Police say. The woman
says she heard gunfire yesterday morning in El Serena and
then realized that she had been hit. She was taken
to the hospital to be treated. Even with more funding,
a lot of California students still aren't reading at grade level,
especially in La County, where fewer than half of third
(20:52):
graders are on track. A new report from Families in
Schools shows big gaps between wealthier and low income areas,
with some districts like Bonita Unified and Garvi Elementary Or
seeing success using proven methods like structured literacy and focused
support for English learners. The report pushes for more schools
to follow their lead, calling literacy a civil rights issue
(21:15):
that needs urgent attention. The first ever Universal Studios fan
Fest Nights kicks off next week. Steven Serks with Universal
Studios tells KFI the event will give fans a chance
to celebrate their favorite fandoms at a separate nighttime ticketed
event similar to Halloween Horror Nights. FanFest Nights is the
ultimate immersive fan experience, and we're celebrating the genres of
(21:37):
sci fi, fantasy, gaming, an anime, he says. The immersive
fan event will highlight seven fandoms including Star Trek, Dungeons
and Dragons, One Piece, Nintendo, and more. It opens on
April twenty fifth, with a resentencing hearing for Leola and
Eric Menendez scheduled to begin this morning in Van Nuys.
(21:58):
A group of parents whose own children were murdered say
the brothers should do every day of their life prison sentences.
One of the parents is re sentencing would let all
murderers know that they have a chance of being released.
An aggressive sea lion had to be euthanized after it
chased surfers at the wedge in Newport Beach. Video shows
several surfers scrambling to paddle back to shore to get
(22:20):
away from the sea lion Tuesday. Wildlife officials say it
was most likely suffering from demoic acid intoxication from the
toxic algae bloom in coastal waters. They said they weren't
able to treat it. Coachella organizers say they're making some
changes for the second week of Coachella, which gets underway
in India tomorrow. Festival producer Golden voices they're adding toll
(22:41):
plazas and additional entry points to avoid the ten to
twelve hour wait times last weekend just to get into
camping areas. At six oh five, it's handle on the news.
Probable cause exists to hold the Trump administration in contempt.
Bet that Bill's gonna have a lot to say about that.
Speaker 11 (23:03):
Amy's on, It's on, It's on it Okay.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
So today's kind of a mashup of Amy's on it
and uh out and about because Uh, what we're on
is the studio. It's on Apple TV. Uh, it's about
halfway through the season. I think they just dropped. The
fifth episode is what I watched yesterday, and it stars
Seth rogen as the new head of the studio, Matt Remick,
(23:37):
and he has to navigate being the head of a studio.
And it is an interesting show. I'll tell you it
is outlandish. It's irreverent, quick witted, and probably a lot
like what it's really like in the studios. I mean,
it's just like chaos all the time, and Seth Rogan's
(23:57):
always screwing things up and then trying to dig himself
out of the hole. And sometimes he can and sometimes
he can't. And there's some sweet moments and there's some
really crass moments. So it's a kind of it's a
fun ride. Like I said, it's pretty fast paced as
far as they're moving around the studio lot all of
the time. And then the other thing that's very cool
about it, if you are, you know, a Hollywood fan
(24:20):
at all, is that everybody's in it, like not starring
in it, but in it, Like they have cameos from
all kinds of people. I was just looking at the
list the I googled it and there's just a ton
of actors who make cameos. And Mark Martin Scorsese for
one pops in and there were Last night they were
(24:42):
talking about Chris Hemsworth's which I was that had my attention,
but he never showed up. And Ron Howard did one episode,
and there are several others who just make their way
through and they weave them into the storyline and it's
it's very fun because they are themselves in it, like
Ron Howard is Ron Howard on the studio. So here's
why it's kind of a mash up with Out and
(25:04):
About because it's shot on the Warner Brothers studio lot.
And you may remember we went Out and About to
Warner Brothers to do their Hollywood studio tour a few
weeks ago. In fact, if you'd like to go see it,
it's very cool. It's on my Instagram at Amy K King.
But since it's shot on the lot and I've now
been on the tour, I recognize a ton of stuff.
(25:27):
So again, being sort of a fangirl, I'm like, oh,
that's so cool. Oh I remember driving by that on
the tour. Oh hey, I remember seeing those you know,
those those sets and that kind of stuff. So that
makes it very fun. And like the tour guide at
Warner Brothers said to me, hey, we use every part
of this lot to make different worlds as they're creating
(25:50):
you know, Hollywood and they're creating things all over the world.
But you see those sets, whether you realize it or not.
But after you've been on the tour, it's like you
have this kind of inside scoop. Then one thing I
did notice is they showed the sound stages and they're
driving around in their golf carts because that's how they
get around on the lots. And they've got the sound
stages on either side, and they've got a cart driving
(26:12):
down the middle, and then there's a Hollywood sign between
the two sound stages. And I was like, well, that
looks cool, and I went, wait a second, that can't
be real. The Hollywood signs on the other side of
the hill. So in true Hollywood fashion, they fake it
a little bit. So, like I said, it's fun because
you see things that you know. And I'm not one
(26:33):
hundred percent sold on the show itself, but it's fun
to watch because we live here and you see stuff
around here, Like they went to Musso and Franks and
I think they went to the Smokehouse and they were
in Silver Lake for one of the episodes, and I
was like, oh, I know that lake. I've seen that
house on the hill. So it's very fun. Anyway, it's
called The Studio and it's on Apple TV and about
(26:55):
halfway through the season, so you can see five episodes.
And like I said, if you want to check out
my Instagram at Amy K. King also at KFI AM
six forty to check out the actual Warner Brothers studio
tour that we went on not too long ago. Time
to get in your business now with Bloomberg's Scott Carr
in for Courtney Donaho. Good morning Scott, Hey, Good morning Amy. Okay,
(27:18):
so we know that President Trump is very influential, and
it looks like a social post can kind of tank
the markets.
Speaker 14 (27:27):
Well, shirt Kenny is the leader of the Free World
now features down five hundred and sixty seven points. That's
better than one point four percent from a social media
post with a president seems to be pointing fingers at
Jerome Powell actually does directly. He posted this morning, quoting
the President, Powell's termination cannot come fast enough, and of
(27:48):
course Powell is not legally he says anyway that the
president can't fire him. So stocks are taking a hit,
and of course they did yesterday after Powell stressed at
the Central Bank. And this is why the President and
probably posted what he did this morning. Powell stressed that
the Central Bank's going to have to ensure the administration's
new tariffs don't trigger more persistent increases in inflation. So
(28:11):
traders interpret that to mean Fed officials are in no
hurry to lower interest rates. Losses yesterday for the major
averages ranged from one to three quarters percent to two
and a quarter percent.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I'm always fascinated, scot it, how much of a knee
jerk reaction Wall Street has to every little thing.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
They sure do. That's because you have traders that that's
their business, that's why they're there.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I just think of it. I think of a bunch
of guys, very high stress, strung out on like double
espressos don't sell.
Speaker 14 (28:45):
Oh, just take a look at the floor on any
given day down on Wall Street in New York.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Yeah, that's that's what you see. That's what they get
paid for.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Okay, oh you need to do you need to do
your plug?
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I do.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
I just want to say this reports sponsored by Total
Wine and more.
Speaker 14 (29:00):
We got another medication that the well people are nervous,
wedding planners telling Blueberg yesterday that they've been seeing their
clients slashing their wedding budgets, some even delaying their nuptials
out of worries of a coming recession and a sinking
stock market. Of course, cutting budgets putting off a wedding
that's going to impact a lot of businesses florists, photographers,
(29:22):
hotels and the like. And before I let you go,
I should mention amy the California may be the biggest
ev market in the country, but fewer of them are
going to be Tesla's that companies no longer selling the
majority of their new cars registered in California, Tesla accounting
for almost a third of all zero emission vehicles nationwide,
but their share sold in California's fall into nearly forty
(29:44):
four percent for a last quarter. That's down from fifty
five and a half percent of them last year. The
dealers' associations as part of that is backlash against Elon
Musk's political activity.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Even though they're made in America, so they're not as
subject to the terror like the other cars. Interesting, all right, Yeah, that's.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
That political activity I mentioned.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Yeah, yep, getting in your business with Bloomberg, Scott car.
Thanks so much. We'll do it again tomorrow. Have a
good day, all right, you too. Let's get back to
some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
four our newsroom. Commercial salmon fishing along the California coast
could be banned for a third year to help Chinook
salmon populations recover. Fisheries regulators have voted for the ban,
and it is expected to be adopted next month some
(30:26):
boat captains. Captains say even though it affects them financially,
they do support it for the sake of salmon recovery.
And The White House is starting a new media policy
that restricts wire services access to the president.
Speaker 9 (30:39):
The White House's new media policy sharply curtails access to
President Trump by news agencies that serve media outlets around
the world. It's the administration's latest attempt to control press
coverage and would block the Associated Press and other wire
services that serve billions of readers It comes after a
judge rule the White House violated the AP's free speech
by banning it as punishment for not renaming the Gulf
(30:59):
of Mexico the Gold Off of America. The White House
says Press Secretary Caroline Levitt will have the final say
over who gets to question Trump. Mark Ronner KFI News
with two.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Day resentencing Hearingford Lyle and Eric Menendez scheduled to get
under way this morning in Van Nuys. Our Michael Monks
will be there and bring us the latest developments and decisions.
Police say they know who the owner of a pit
bull mix is that attacked and killed a toy poodle
in Santa Monica. They're evaluating possible charges now. Actor Haley
Joel Osmont has been arrested and released at Mammoth Mountain
(31:32):
Ski Resort. Billy Say, the sixth Sense Star was picked
up for public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance.
We're minutes away from Handle on the news this morning.
California the first state to sue Trump over tariffs. Let's
say good morning now to board member of Friends of
Griffith Park, Brenda Reese. Good morning, Brenda, Good morning, Amy.
(31:54):
Oh you sound way too energetic for five point fifty
in the morning, but we appreciated a ton. Maybe it's
because you're excited for Earth Day coming up.
Speaker 11 (32:01):
I'm excited for Earth Day and this is the time
of the day anyways that us hikers are outside getting
ready to put on our shoes and walk walk around
in nature.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Okay, and let's talk about hiking because one of the
reason we're talking to you today is that there is
going to be a new trail resource for Griffith Park
that you're rolling out this weekend.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
That's right.
Speaker 11 (32:25):
We call it the Griffith Park Explore or the GPX
for short, and it's a system of fifteen different trails.
So this is so people can pick which kind of
trail that they want to go on and it's a
it will be encompass all of the park. This is
something we've been working on for about two years now.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Oh okay, So up until now, if people went to
the park, they would just find a trail ahead and
go And now is that how it used to work?
Speaker 11 (32:54):
Yeah, people have done books about Griffith Park. You can
kind of look you know to there to those things
or as well as just you know, go to as
you say go to the park. We look at the map, Oh,
I'm going to go there and there. What we've done
is we've kind of broken down the park into fifteen
different areas. So if you're an beginner hiker or an
(33:14):
expert hiker and you want to have a little challenge,
we've kind of mapped it all out for you with
ease or difficulty, and we've also given you an opportunity
for if you, oh, I want to go see birds,
or I want to more of a challenge, I want
an easy walk. This is this will help you for that.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Okay. So, and is this an app or a website
or how do we how are we going to find
it when it launches.
Speaker 11 (33:34):
It's not an app, it's just on our website. So
it's going to be really easy to do. So people
don't here, don't have to add another extra thing to
your phone. Okay, kind of come on.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Okay, and so it'll take you and it'll say, okay,
here are the different trails. And then as you mentioned,
like if you're a birdwatcher, beyond telling you where to go,
it'll tell you what you're going to see on the
different trails.
Speaker 11 (33:55):
Exactly we're going to give you little tidbits of geology, history,
little things of the flora and fauna you might see
around the area. And so it's going to give you
a little bit more than just you know, walk this way.
I love that.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Okay, how many miles of trails are there around Griffith Park.
Speaker 11 (34:16):
There are fifty three official trails around Griffith Park. And
another reason why we wanted to create this is a
lot of people kind of make their own trails and
they kind of go off trail and this and that,
and that's where people can get into trouble. So we
really wanted to encourage people to stay on the official trails.
And that's what these that's what the GPX is. It
allows you to see and experience all of Griffith Park.
(34:38):
In fact, if you could, you could, in theory, do
them all and say to your friends, I have hiked
all the trails in Griffith Park, which is about fifty
three trails. Fifty three miles of trails.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Well, I love this idea, Brenda, because I've thought about
going hiking in the park before and I just go,
but I don't know where to go. And so now
I'm going to know where to go and you're going
to make it easy so I can go on the
easy trails because I'm not an van sneiker by any stretch.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
And then on Saturday, because we Earth Day is next week,
but we're going to celebrate early. So on Saturday, you've
got a special celebration for the launch of this and
also a chance for people to get their hands dirty
and help the earth.
Speaker 11 (35:14):
Right, We're going to be meeting at the Griffith Park
visitor Center. We're going to be putting some native plants
in the ground, and I think we're going to be
doing with our friends at LA Recreation and Parks and
they'll be on hand too, And we're just going to
be meeting everybody and explaining a little bit more about
the types of things that we're doing at friends of
Griffith Park and just and let's all get our hands
(35:34):
dirty and let's, you know, help the park because it's
one of our greatest assets here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
And is everybody invited?
Speaker 11 (35:42):
Everyone's invited.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Yes, And it's at the visitor center. What time are
you going to be doing that?
Speaker 11 (35:47):
I think that's at ten o'clock. Okay, boy, now now
you're questioning me, But I think it's at ten o'clock.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Yeah, well, here's how we can direct them to your
website if you'd like more information about the event on Saturday.
And also and then the gPex Trail resource is going
to be available starting on Saturday.
Speaker 11 (36:05):
That's correct, yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
And also if you want more information about Friends of
Griffith Park find out all about how you can help
out for Earth Day, you can go to what website.
Speaker 11 (36:14):
They can go to www. And it's going to be
Friendsigriffithpark dot org.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Super easy. Brenda Reese, thank you so much for coming
on with us this morning. I love this. I can't
wait to go and take a hike.
Speaker 11 (36:27):
Thank you. We'll see you on the trails. Amy.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
All right, thanks Brenda. Let's get back to some of
the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour
news from San Diego. Assemblyman Carl Demyo has introduced AB
twenty six. It's called the Cut the Politician's Perks Act.
It's aimed at eliminating what he calls excessive benefits for
California's elected officials. Key revisions include a ban on most
gifts and out of state travel unrelated to campaigning, a
(36:51):
lifetime lobbying ban for former lawmakers, and stock trading restrictions.
Speaker 11 (36:55):
Public service should be about serving the public, not enriching
yourself or engaging in the high life through special interest
gifts and funds.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Demio says the bills meant to increase accountability and reduce
special interest influence. News brought to you by American Vision Windows.
A bill in California ames to help more drivers with disabilities.
Speaker 7 (37:16):
The new law would help drivers with disabilities during traffic
stops by allowing them to present blue envelopes with key
information about their vehicle insurance and needed accommodations. This is
already happening in San Diego Riverside in San Bernardino. The
bill would expand the program statewide. The envelopes given out
by the DMV signal to officers and need for patients
(37:37):

I got really good as Amy Kay.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Good morning. It's five o'clock, straight up. This is your
wake up call for Thursday, April seventeenth. I'm Amy King.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Wherever you're tuning
in this morning, we appreciate it. Have you been watching
the Eglitz? I know that we haven't talked about them much,
but they're still there. And I check and there's still
(00:53):
tens of thousands of people watching our little eagles. Sonny
and Gizmo called the little one Rocky. And I was
watching comments yesterday because they have during the live stream,
they take comments sometimes and this one lady goes, oh
my god, Sunny's bigger than my Pomeranian. They're getting really big,
and right now you can't see him because they're in
(01:14):
for a camera's broke. But if you get a chance,
not a nice it's not a bad way to kind
of spend the afternoon. I had my brother over for
dinner over the weekend, and so I just turned it
on on my TV. So I was watching it and
I was like, this is actually the size that they
almost are. In fact, it they're still probably bigger, but
watching them just sitting there on the big screen was
kind of cool. Okay, medium string. I don't have a
(01:35):
big screen. I have a medium screen TV. Also, I
want to let you know I'm walking wounded today. I
think I broke my finger. I'm not sure. I know
cono well, I don't know that it's broken. It is swollen,
but it's not black and blue yet, and I can
move it. So but I tripped last night going up
some stairs and just jam the crap out of it.
(01:58):
So it's really hard to type the morning. I'm telling
you it's a new experience in pain. But we'll get
through it together. Right, Okay, let's get going. We got
a lot going on. Here's what's ahead on wake up call.
Eric and lyleman Endez are expected to appear virtually for
a two day hearing that gets underway this morning in
Van Eys. The judge gonna hear arguments for and against
(02:18):
the brother's request to be re sentenced for the murder

week on April twenty first and twenty second. And all
you need to see it is clear weather in a
dark sky. So is AI making us dumber? ABC's Jim
Ryan's going to join us in about two minutes to
tell us. We've been talking about how tariffs are going
to affect car sales and lumber and steal, but what
about the little guy. We're going to talk to the
CEO of Women Business Collaborative at five point twenty to
(03:26):
talk about how small businesses could get hit really hard.
I've got an Amy's on it out and about mashup
for you today at the bottom of the hour, we're
headed to the studio at five point fifty. Griffith Park
is going high tech for hiking, and we're going to
tell you how you can help make our little urban
sanctuary even better. As we head towards Earth Day, we're
(03:47):
going to be talking with Brenda Reese with friends of
Griffith Park. Let's get started with some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four our newsroom. A
hearing on the re sentencing of the Menendez brothers is
set to start this morning. Legal analyst Alison Treesil tells
KTLA both sides been going over their arguments for a
while now.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Either Eric and Lyle should be re sentenced or, as
the prosecution will surely argue, these two still pose a
danger to public safety.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
As I mentioned, kfi's Michael Monks is going to be
at the Van Nights Courthouse with complete coverage for US
all morning and all afternoon. A man has died after
an officer involved shooting at the end of a wild
high speed chase in Orange County. This woman lives near
where it happened in Anaheim.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Well, well, so you just here.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Like what it sounds like gunshots.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
First of we thought it was a car, but then
everyone started running off. Soon it was gunshots.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Police shot the driver last night after disabling his pickup
truck with a pit maneuver on a bridge above the
Santa Ana River. The Ventura County Sheriff's Office says two
of its deputies have been arrested.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
News release issued Wednesday says deputies Anthony Melagon and Dylan
Davis were arrested while off duty on March thirtieth. They

Deborah mark Koffi News a gray whale.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Has been freed after its tail became entangled in gill
metting in the waters off Rancho Palace Verties. Noah Fisheries
officials say the twenty five foot whale got tangled and
tethered to a rock crab trap. It had been dragging
it along the seafloor from Newport Beach to Rancho Palace
Verties for about a week and a half. Half A
crew was able to untangle and release the whale that
(06:04):
quickly swam away. Let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim,
artificial intelligence is here, but do we even know what
it can do? And are we using it?
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (06:19):
Are we afraid of it?
Speaker 9 (06:20):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yes? Yes, I still am.
Speaker 8 (06:22):
You've heard of Quinnipiac University, right, that's that Connecticut school
and they do surveys on things all year long about
different things. Now they've gone out and they've asked over
a thousand people around the country. So what do you
know about AI and how do you feel about artificial intelligence? Well,
betting upon your age. You either accept it, you're okay
with it, or you're terrified that it's going to take
(06:42):
over the world. The older you are, the more you
fall into that latter group. Right, But it also depends
not just on your age, but on the task that
you're asking AI to do. When it comes to, for example,
medical advances, fifty nine percent of Americans think AI will
do more good than harm. But if you ask it
(07:02):
to screen health insurance claims or screen loan applications or
job applications, people are more queasy about it, and they
can't support artificial intelligence doing that. They would rather have
a person sitting across the desk.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I would agree with that, like, because I think when
you take the human factor out, like you mentioned a resume,
someone might look great on a resume, but in person,
they're just they're not dynamic, engaging, they can't think on
their feet, that kind of stuff. I mean, So it's
taking a huge part of the equation out.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
Sure well, or the opposite. You know, somebody isn't that
dynamic or is a real go getter, but it doesn't
show on paper. Yeah, and AI might kick that person
out of the process. Maybe that could be a problem.
So yeah, it largely depends upon the job you're asking
it to do. More than eight and ten Americans, though,
are either very concerned or a little concerned that a
(08:00):
I will diminish the ability of people in the youngest
generation to think for themselves. In other words, that that
were dumbing down the youngest generation, because AI will be
doing all the thinking for us.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Well, you know, and that I mean, when you think
about it, it's already underway. If you think about like smartphones,
we don't remember phone numbers anymore. I know, like three
phone numbers. I know my phone number from when I
was five years old, but I you know, I don't
know my next door neighbor's phone number anymore. And like,
think about it, appointments, You put an appointment in your
(08:31):
phone and then you forget about it and then it
reminds you. Or even driving directions.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Right, that's a big one too.
Speaker 8 (08:37):
And you know I used to get around with a
map skill, you know, the remember the map books in
the back of the car and.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
The Thomas guides. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Sure.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
But at the same time, somebody suggested earlier today to
me that you know, every piece of technology that comes
along is going to destroy civilization. AI included, right, but
think back to the Abbacus thousands of years ago. Suddenly
people were freaking out. You don't have to learn math
anymore because you've got this this row of this column
of bars with beads on it. You're going to use
(09:06):
this instead of thinking, come on and.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Look at us thinking, well, you know, now we've got
our I.
Speaker 8 (09:15):
Take it back.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
We did ruin us with ourselves, with the advocates.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
So here's the thought though, if we if we use
a I, will we get worse? Or could we use
AI to help make us smarter?
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Right?
Speaker 8 (09:29):
And I think that's that's one possibility, and where you
can learn it as use it as a learning tool. Absolutely,
So while AI is teaching itself and learning, it can
also be teaching you whatever it is you want to
know and doing so kind of a personal way.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, but I think you're right. I mean, like I'm
so worried about it, and I know that I use
it because like when I Google something now and it'll
say AI generated response. But you got to be careful
because a lot of times it's wrong.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
So found out yesterday.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I still needs us, We're still necessary.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Jim, Thank Evid.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
All right. ABC's Jim Ryan always necessary on wake up call.
Thanks for joining us today. Thanks Bhabe, all right, We'll
talk to you soon. Let's get back to some of
the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
The Trump administration is facing possible contempt charges over two
deportation flights to El Salvador. ABC's Nicole Antonio says the
flights continued after a federal judge ordered they be turned around.
Speaker 7 (10:27):
Judge James Sposburg saying the administration displayed a wilful disregard
for his order. His investigation could eventually include officials testifying
under oath.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
She says. The judge could also appoint an independent lawyer
to prosecute the administration. The New York Attorney General, who
led and won a civil fraud trial against President Trump
Remember That for inflating the value of Israel estate, has
now been accused of committing mortgage fraud. Letitia James hasn't
been charged, but the case is being referred to the
(10:57):
Department of Justice. The complaint says James's falsified records to
get sweetheart home loans for a home that she apparently

the Federal Reserve chairman saying he expects inflation to rise
(14:22):
and economic growth to slow because of tariffs. Speaking of tariffs,
let's say good morning to the chief executive officer of
the Women Business Collaborative. It's Gwen Rece. Good morning, Gwen
A So I'm sorry, it's Gwen.
Speaker 13 (14:36):
Young morning Amy when y no problem, Good morning.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I'm good. We're talking to Brenda Reese a little bit later,
so I just mixed you guys up. So, Gwen, before
we get started and jump in and talk about these
the tariffs, tell us a little bit about what your organization,
Women Business Collaborative does. So we have a frame of reference.
Speaker 13 (14:58):
Absolutely, So we are a co collaborative, which means we
have eighty seven organization, sixty seven sponsors, and three hundred
individuals that are committed to growing women in business. And
related to this conversation, about forty percent of our collaborative
is women owned businesses. So we are there to support
and grow these businesses and help continue to grow the economy.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Okay, awesome, So let's talk about tariffs. A lot of
focus has been on the car makers and things like
lumber and steal. We just had a story about Fords
and on a memo to its dealership saying, hey, if
the tariffs take hold, prices are going to go up,
but as the tariffs take hold. If they do, they
could have a huge effect on small businesses. So what
(15:38):
kind of things are the small businesses experiencing?
Speaker 13 (15:43):
Well, i'm the small businesses which are about either you know,
forty four percent of economic activity and actually have small
businesses and all businesses women are about forty percent. You know,
what we're seeing is these are math market goods, these
are necessities, These are consumers good these are toys, these
are clothing, apparel, makeup, and so forth. So it's a
(16:05):
really interesting, you know, group of businesses. And these are
businesses and have smaller profit margins, right, which means that
any disruption in their supplies if they put into their
business or their outputs, you know, they just don't have
that ability to weather a shock, right, So that means
can they pass it on to the consumer? Do they
have to shutter? Do they have access to financing? And
(16:27):
unlike those those bigger companies, they have less access to
financing an opportunity, So they're really being impacted by you know,
what may or may not happen in the shifts in
what the tariffs are going to be.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
And have they already started to feel the effects. Are
we still sort of in a holding pattern since almost
everything's been passed, well not China though, but pretty much
everything else has been paused for ninety days. But those
tariffs are still in place for China. So are people
feeling the pinch already?
Speaker 13 (16:57):
They are feeling the pinch already, and they're already starting
to you know, advocate, you know, describe what that what
that effect looks like. If you're a business that regards
on a supply that you would, you know, bring from China.
Clothing is one of the biggest thing where the world's
biggest importer of clothing, so they're starting to fill at effect.
Prices are going up and I need to think it
was last week we saw an article that said you
(17:18):
can expect prices to raise by ten to twenty five
percent right now, and things like toys by about twenty
three percent. So the impacts are immediate and it's impacting also,
you know, local businesses are people that we're going to
start a business because where are you going to get
those supplies? Where are you going to find that financing?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, and then even if they can whether the storm,
like you said, they've got a lot of decisions to make.
I mean like, do they cut hours for their workers,
do they increase prices? Do they offer fewer items? So
there's a lot of decisions that are going to have
to be.
Speaker 13 (17:50):
Made, absolutely, And part of it too is you know,
like I said earlier, you know, we get packaging things
for packaging manufactured out side of the United States. So
if you don't have somewhere to buy that that changes
your financials, It changes your investment and money that you need.
And women still access only two percent of all available capital.
(18:13):
So you're making immediate decisions about what you can do
and how you can operate.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, and so you mentioned women and I know you
work with a women business collaborative. What extra challenges do
women owned businesses have?
Speaker 13 (18:27):
Well, I think they say, you know, they say sort
of two extra challenges right women owned businesses is one
is they don't have the same networks and they are
not represented in some of these larger industries at the
same rate as men are, which means what they don't
have the type of partnerships, they don't have access to
capital and finance, and then definitely probably don't have that
sort of advocacy power or that flexibility to figure out
(18:48):
where to absorb those prices or how they can raise
the prices. Plus many are manufacturing, you know, many of
our consumer goods and the goods that we use every day,
so you know, passing a price long to the consumer
really is going to impact their business and what they're
going to be able to sell. So they really do
facing new challenges.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Okay, Gwen, is there anything that we wake up call
listeners can do to help out the small businesses?
Speaker 13 (19:13):
Well, I think a couple of things. I mean we
always say, you know, by local, you know, and that
sort of thing, and try to do what we can do.
But you know, the advocacy right now is let's get
some exemptions for those small businesses. Let's look at the
impact on the small businesses, and let's find where big
companies you know and local, national, and federal government can
support those small businesses. So if we can continue to
(19:33):
make that drum week drum beat call for that action
and support those small businesses, that's what we can do
to help them stay alive.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Local and small is always good. Gwen Young, the CEO
of Women Business Collaborative, Thanks so much for helping kind
of sort through this with us today. Go Small Business, Thank.

Speaker 11 (23:03):
Amy's on, It's on, It's on it Okay.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
So today's kind of a mashup of Amy's on it
and uh out and about because Uh, what we're on
is the studio. It's on Apple TV. Uh, it's about
halfway through the season. I think they just dropped. The
fifth episode is what I watched yesterday, and it stars
Seth rogen as the new head of the studio, Matt Remick,
(23:37):
and he has to navigate being the head of a studio.
And it is an interesting show. I'll tell you it
is outlandish. It's irreverent, quick witted, and probably a lot
like what it's really like in the studios. I mean,
it's just like chaos all the time, and Seth Rogan's
(23:57):
always screwing things up and then trying to dig himself
out of the hole. And sometimes he can and sometimes
he can't. And there's some sweet moments and there's some
really crass moments. So it's a kind of it's a
fun ride. Like I said, it's pretty fast paced as
far as they're moving around the studio lot all of
the time. And then the other thing that's very cool
about it, if you are, you know, a Hollywood fan
(24:20):
at all, is that everybody's in it, like not starring
in it, but in it, Like they have cameos from
all kinds of people. I was just looking at the
list the I googled it and there's just a ton
of actors who make cameos. And Mark Martin Scorsese for
one pops in and there were Last night they were
(24:42):
talking about Chris Hemsworth's which I was that had my attention,
but he never showed up. And Ron Howard did one episode,
and there are several others who just make their way
through and they weave them into the storyline and it's
it's very fun because they are themselves in it, like
Ron Howard is Ron Howard on the studio. So here's
why it's kind of a mash up with Out and
(25:04):
About because it's shot on the Warner Brothers studio lot.
And you may remember we went Out and About to
Warner Brothers to do their Hollywood studio tour a few
weeks ago. In fact, if you'd like to go see it,
it's very cool. It's on my Instagram at Amy K King.
But since it's shot on the lot and I've now
been on the tour, I recognize a ton of stuff.
(25:27):
So again, being sort of a fangirl, I'm like, oh,
that's so cool. Oh I remember driving by that on
the tour. Oh hey, I remember seeing those you know,
those those sets and that kind of stuff. So that
makes it very fun. And like the tour guide at
Warner Brothers said to me, hey, we use every part
of this lot to make different worlds as they're creating
(25:50):
you know, Hollywood and they're creating things all over the world.
But you see those sets, whether you realize it or not.
But after you've been on the tour, it's like you
have this kind of inside scoop. Then one thing I
did notice is they showed the sound stages and they're
driving around in their golf carts because that's how they
get around on the lots. And they've got the sound
stages on either side, and they've got a cart driving
(26:12):
down the middle, and then there's a Hollywood sign between
the two sound stages. And I was like, well, that
looks cool, and I went, wait a second, that can't
be real. The Hollywood signs on the other side of
the hill. So in true Hollywood fashion, they fake it
a little bit. So, like I said, it's fun because
you see things that you know. And I'm not one
(26:33):
hundred percent sold on the show itself, but it's fun
to watch because we live here and you see stuff
around here, Like they went to Musso and Franks and
I think they went to the Smokehouse and they were
in Silver Lake for one of the episodes, and I
was like, oh, I know that lake. I've seen that
house on the hill. So it's very fun. Anyway, it's
called The Studio and it's on Apple TV and about
(26:55):
halfway through the season, so you can see five episodes.
And like I said, if you want to check out
my Instagram at Amy K. King also at KFI AM
six forty to check out the actual Warner Brothers studio
tour that we went on not too long ago. Time
to get in your business now with Bloomberg's Scott Carr
in for Courtney Donaho. Good morning Scott, Hey, Good morning Amy. Okay,
(27:18):
so we know that President Trump is very influential, and
it looks like a social post can kind of tank
the markets.
Speaker 14 (27:27):
Well, shirt Kenny is the leader of the Free World
now features down five hundred and sixty seven points. That's
better than one point four percent from a social media
post with a president seems to be pointing fingers at
Jerome Powell actually does directly. He posted this morning, quoting
the President, Powell's termination cannot come fast enough, and of
(27:48):
course Powell is not legally he says anyway that the
president can't fire him. So stocks are taking a hit,
and of course they did yesterday after Powell stressed at
the Central Bank. And this is why the President and
probably posted what he did this morning. Powell stressed that
the Central Bank's going to have to ensure the administration's
new tariffs don't trigger more persistent increases in inflation. So
(28:11):
traders interpret that to mean Fed officials are in no
hurry to lower interest rates. Losses yesterday for the major
averages ranged from one to three quarters percent to two
and a quarter percent.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I'm always fascinated, scot it, how much of a knee
jerk reaction Wall Street has to every little thing.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
They sure do. That's because you have traders that that's
their business, that's why they're there.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I just think of it. I think of a bunch
of guys, very high stress, strung out on like double
espressos don't sell.
Speaker 14 (28:45):
Oh, just take a look at the floor on any
given day down on Wall Street in New York.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Yeah, that's that's what you see. That's what they get
paid for.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Okay, oh you need to do you need to do
your plug?
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I do.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
I just want to say this reports sponsored by Total
Wine and more.
Speaker 14 (29:00):
We got another medication that the well people are nervous,
wedding planners telling Blueberg yesterday that they've been seeing their
clients slashing their wedding budgets, some even delaying their nuptials
out of worries of a coming recession and a sinking
stock market. Of course, cutting budgets putting off a wedding
that's going to impact a lot of businesses florists, photographers,
(29:22):
hotels and the like. And before I let you go,
I should mention amy the California may be the biggest
ev market in the country, but fewer of them are
going to be Tesla's that companies no longer selling the
majority of their new cars registered in California, Tesla accounting
for almost a third of all zero emission vehicles nationwide,
but their share sold in California's fall into nearly forty
(29:44):
four percent for a last quarter. That's down from fifty
five and a half percent of them last year. The
dealers' associations as part of that is backlash against Elon
Musk's political activity.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Even though they're made in America, so they're not as
subject to the terror like the other cars. Interesting, all right, Yeah, that's.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
That political activity I mentioned.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Yeah, yep, getting in your business with Bloomberg, Scott car.
Thanks so much. We'll do it again tomorrow. Have a
good day, all right, you too. Let's get back to
some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
four our newsroom. Commercial salmon fishing along the California coast
could be banned for a third year to help Chinook
salmon populations recover. Fisheries regulators have voted for the ban,
and it is expected to be adopted next month some
(30:26):
boat captains. Captains say even though it affects them financially,
they do support it for the sake of salmon recovery.
And The White House is starting a new media policy
that restricts wire services access to the president.
Speaker 9 (30:39):
The White House's new media policy sharply curtails access to
President Trump by news agencies that serve media outlets around
the world. It's the administration's latest attempt to control press
coverage and would block the Associated Press and other wire
services that serve billions of readers It comes after a
judge rule the White House violated the AP's free speech
by banning it as punishment for not renaming the Gulf
(30:59):
of Mexico the Gold Off of America. The White House
says Press Secretary Caroline Levitt will have the final say
over who gets to question Trump. Mark Ronner KFI News

California the first state to sue Trump over tariffs. Let's
say good morning now to board member of Friends of
Griffith Park, Brenda Reese. Good morning, Brenda, Good morning, Amy.
(31:54):
Oh you sound way too energetic for five point fifty
in the morning, but we appreciated a ton. Maybe it's
because you're excited for Earth Day coming up.
Speaker 11 (32:01):
I'm excited for Earth Day and this is the time
of the day anyways that us hikers are outside getting
ready to put on our shoes and walk walk around
in nature.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Okay, and let's talk about hiking because one of the
reason we're talking to you today is that there is
going to be a new trail resource for Griffith Park
that you're rolling out this weekend.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
That's right.
Speaker 11 (32:25):
We call it the Griffith Park Explore or the GPX
for short, and it's a system of fifteen different trails.
So this is so people can pick which kind of
trail that they want to go on and it's a
it will be encompass all of the park. This is
something we've been working on for about two years now.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Oh okay, So up until now, if people went to
the park, they would just find a trail ahead and
go And now is that how it used to work?
Speaker 11 (32:54):
Yeah, people have done books about Griffith Park. You can
kind of look you know to there to those things
or as well as just you know, go to as
you say go to the park. We look at the map, Oh,
I'm going to go there and there. What we've done
is we've kind of broken down the park into fifteen
different areas. So if you're an beginner hiker or an
(33:14):
expert hiker and you want to have a little challenge,
we've kind of mapped it all out for you with
ease or difficulty, and we've also given you an opportunity
for if you, oh, I want to go see birds,
or I want to more of a challenge, I want
an easy walk. This is this will help you for that.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Okay. So, and is this an app or a website
or how do we how are we going to find
it when it launches.
Speaker 11 (33:34):
It's not an app, it's just on our website. So
it's going to be really easy to do. So people
don't here, don't have to add another extra thing to
your phone. Okay, kind of come on.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Okay, and so it'll take you and it'll say, okay,
here are the different trails. And then as you mentioned,
like if you're a birdwatcher, beyond telling you where to go,
it'll tell you what you're going to see on the
different trails.
Speaker 11 (33:55):
Exactly we're going to give you little tidbits of geology, history,
little things of the flora and fauna you might see
around the area. And so it's going to give you
a little bit more than just you know, walk this way.
I love that.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Okay, how many miles of trails are there around Griffith Park.
Speaker 11 (34:16):
There are fifty three official trails around Griffith Park. And
another reason why we wanted to create this is a
lot of people kind of make their own trails and
they kind of go off trail and this and that,
and that's where people can get into trouble. So we
really wanted to encourage people to stay on the official trails.
And that's what these that's what the GPX is. It
allows you to see and experience all of Griffith Park.
(34:38):
In fact, if you could, you could, in theory, do
them all and say to your friends, I have hiked
all the trails in Griffith Park, which is about fifty
three trails. Fifty three miles of trails.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Well, I love this idea, Brenda, because I've thought about
going hiking in the park before and I just go,
but I don't know where to go. And so now
I'm going to know where to go and you're going
to make it easy so I can go on the
easy trails because I'm not an van sneiker by any stretch.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
And then on Saturday, because we Earth Day is next week,
but we're going to celebrate early. So on Saturday, you've
got a special celebration for the launch of this and
also a chance for people to get their hands dirty
and help the earth.
Speaker 11 (35:14):
Right, We're going to be meeting at the Griffith Park
visitor Center. We're going to be putting some native plants
in the ground, and I think we're going to be
doing with our friends at LA Recreation and Parks and
they'll be on hand too, And we're just going to
be meeting everybody and explaining a little bit more about
the types of things that we're doing at friends of
Griffith Park and just and let's all get our hands
(35:34):
dirty and let's, you know, help the park because it's
one of our greatest assets here in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
And is everybody invited?
Speaker 11 (35:42):
Everyone's invited.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Yes, And it's at the visitor center. What time are
you going to be doing that?
Speaker 11 (35:47):
I think that's at ten o'clock. Okay, boy, now now
you're questioning me, But I think it's at ten o'clock.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Yeah, well, here's how we can direct them to your
website if you'd like more information about the event on Saturday.
And also and then the gPex Trail resource is going
to be available starting on Saturday.
Speaker 11 (36:05):
That's correct, yes, okay.

Griffith Park find out all about how you can help
out for Earth Day, you can go to what website.
Speaker 11 (36:14):
They can go to www. And it's going to be

Speaker 1 (36:20):
Super easy. Brenda Reese, thank you so much for coming
on with us this morning. I love this. I can't
wait to go and take a hike.
Speaker 11 (36:27):
Thank you. We'll see you on the trails. Amy.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
All right, thanks Brenda. Let's get back to some of
the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour
news from San Diego. Assemblyman Carl Demyo has introduced AB
