Well it's because producer Anne wore her Padres gear yesterday.
Oh she's got it on again today. Dodgers Padres playing
each other. Oh yeah, Dodgers won last night eight to seven.
Playing again today of course, then the Dodgers come to
the game. No, I was watching riots and protests.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
And chimes in early today.
Speaker 6 (00:55):
Why do you think that the Padres should have won
the game?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Of course? Oh okay, it's a really good game. Oh
it was, and you can't talk smack and you didn't
even watch it.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
I didn't talk smack. I just said we won, okay,
And I know where you go. It's that way about
our Padres.
Speaker 4 (01:16):

and then the Padres are coming to town next week.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
So we'll see a fan's going to be happy or sad.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
I think we'll be able to gauge it from the
results of the games.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Anyway.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
Hey, I want to say, as all these protests and
all this stuff continues, thank you so much to LAPD
and the La County Sheriff and other law enforcement agencies
for doing their best to do to keep things under control,
because they're getting out of control and they're getting you know,
pelted and thrown and thrown stuff at and attacked, and
(01:53):
I think that they're just keeping their cool. And when
you see the protesters getting up in their face and
yelling and screaming, and they're just.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Uh huh, all right, good, got it.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
Let's just stay calm, so uh hats off, and thank
you LAPD, L Kenna Sheriff's Department, deputies and all the
law enforcement doing your best to keep things under control.
Speaking of control, let's see what's ahead. On wake up call,
the LAPD had to go on tactical alert for a
second night after a fourth day and night of protesting
(02:24):
over ice raids in the city. Most of downtown around
the Civic Center was declared off limits after demonstrators block traffic,
through objects and got into tussles with police. Police has
to make the crowds last night, we're a little bit
smaller than Sunday night protests broke out outside the Federal
Building in Santa Ana following ice raids in Orange County.
Police declared an unlawful assembly last night. At least ten
(02:45):
people were arrested. Protesters were seen shooting fireworks and throwing
objects at police, who fired back with flashbangs. LA's school
superintendent says he's going to keep parents safe during their
kids graduation ceremonies, regardless of their immigrations status. Alberto Carvallo
has instructed school police to increase their presence at the
more than one hundred graduation ceremonies that are happening between
(03:08):
yesterday and today. When asked if Governor Newsom should be
arrested for impeding law enforcement, President Trump said, Yeah, that
might be a good thing. ABC's Karen Travers is the
one who asked that question. She'll join us in just
a couple of minutes. The Marines are coming to LA,
about seven hundred of them. ABC Sen Kingston joins us
at FI point twenty to talk about when they'll get here,
(03:28):
what they'll be doing and what they won't be doing
in LA. And we're tightening the purse strings. We're not
spending as much on luxury items as nervousness over the
economy continues. But there is one thing we are doing.
Joel Larsgard, the host of How the Money on KFI,
joins us at five point fifty to tell us what
that is and whether we should be doing it. Let's
get started with some of the stories coming out of
(03:50):
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom that protest against immigration
rates in Santa Anna I got chaotic last night. Police
had to declare an unlawful assembly. The protests around the
Civic Center plaza escalated as people through rocks, bottles, fireworks,
and other items. The city put out a statement saying
federal agents were being overrun at the federal building and
(04:11):
that in response, federal agents have deployed less lethal ammunition,
including tear gas, pepper balls, and rubber bullets. Several people
were seen in handcuffs. We're hearing about ten arrests borders are.
Tom Holmes is the immigration enforcement efforts in an around
LA have targeted criminals. He taels kfi's John Cobalt that
several of the detainees have been charged with crimes unrelated
(04:34):
to their immigration status.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
Of our public safety throats office street. We rest of
the murderer, we rested several child predators, child sex preasors.
We rested the rapist. We arrested someone connective.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Armed robbery home.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
It says the initial immigration enforcement ad action at a
business in the fashion district targeted and operation involved in
money laundering and other crimes. A masked group has been
seen on video handing out riot gear gas masks to
protesters in downtown La.
Speaker 8 (05:02):
KTTV captured the video on Monday, just feet away from
federal buildings. National Guard troops were standing outside the federal buildings,
but no local police were visible at the time. When
report says people arrived with truckloads of UVX bionic face shields,
It's unclear who the people who handed out the gear
are affiliated with. Daniel Martindale KFI News.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
LA County Supervisor Lindsay hor Horvath has criticized the Trump
administration for sending the Marines to La. She tells KTLA
she believes local authorities have things under control.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
There are many people.
Speaker 9 (05:32):
Out there who are trying to use the peaceful protests
as cover for bad behavior, and that's why law enforcement
is on hand.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Horvez says the LAPD, sheriff's deputies and CHP officers are
not available to help ICE agents. Five oh seven on
your wake up call, time to check in with ABC's
Karen Travers. So, Karen is The bickering between President Trump
and Governor Newsom continues over the call up of the
National Guard members. Trump says, maybe it'd be a good
(06:02):
thing if the governor got arrested.
Speaker 9 (06:05):
Yeah, that's what he said yesterday after his borders are
Tom Homan had said insisted kind of that there was
no discussion about arresting Newsom, kind of clarifying some comments
he had made in an interview. He pushed back on
the idea Homan did that he was going to arrest
Newsom or the LA mayor Karen Bass. The President, though,
said I would do it if I were Tom. I
think it's great. Newsom said that that was an unmistakable
(06:28):
step toward authoritarianism and the acts of a dictator. I
asked the President what crime Newsom had committed that would
warrant his arrest, and the President told me, I think
his primary crime is running for governor, because he's done such.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
A bad job.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Always the jokester.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Okay, So there does appear that there's a lot of
political posturing on both sides. Newsom's kind of making comments
that make him sound decidedly like a presidential candid it
in my humble opinion, But who can win and who.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Can lose on this?
Speaker 6 (07:04):
I mean, the chances of Newsome getting arrested maybe slim,
But like, you know, who's got more at stake here?
Speaker 9 (07:13):
You know, I think these are two men who have
a lot of political history. They have not shied away
from going back and forth and going at each other
on policy issues, on politics. So it's like they were
both kind of eager to jump into the fray against
each other in a way that maybe the President wouldn't
do with a governor of another state. This is kind
(07:35):
of a fight that he was eager to have with Newsome,
not necessarily over the issue, but with Newsom. Newsom doing
it right back on social media. So, you know, I
don't know, We'll see how this plays out. I do
think it was notable that yesterday I asked the President
if he was going to deploy Marines in California, and
he told me, we'll see what happens. I think we
(07:56):
have it very well under control. I think it would
have been a very situation. It was heading in the
wrong direction. It's now heading in the right direction. And
then minutes later we confirmed that seven hundred marines based
out of twenty nine palms had been ordered to assist
in LA So it's kind of an interesting answer of,
you know, taking that step after saying that things were
trending in the right direction, the President making that move.
(08:20):
Not clear what those marines are going to do.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
They already had started.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
Arriving, but again a decision made without consulting with the governor.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
And we're going to be talking to your colleague, Shannon
Kingston more about the deployment of those marines just in
a few minutes.
Speaker 4 (08:33):

Shannon Kingston's going to join us to talk about when

and what they won't be doing in Los Angeles. Hey,
I'm ame king Thanks for getting your day started with us.
You know who else is starting their day? Sonny and Gizmo,
the bald Eagles. They're getting ready to head out for
the day. I still love watching them, even though they're
(12:42):
all grown up now. They were flying around yesterday. It's
cool to see them take off. Like one of them
took off yesterday morning, and then the other one like
watched them for a minute and then went, Okay, I
guess it's my time. I'm guessing it was Sonny who
took off first, and then Gizmo followed her, and then
they were.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Both gone all day, and then they came back to
the nest last night. I think they like each other.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
The kids are growing up.
Speaker 11 (13:04):
I know.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Protests or protesters rather have thrown objects at officers guarding
the Federal building in Downtown LA's demonstrations against ice raids
took to the streets for the fourth day and night.
Officers responded with flash bangs, teargas, non lethal rounds. President
Trump has deployed two thousand more National Guard troops and
(13:27):
activated seven hundred marines. Le Mayor bass Is called on
Trump to stop the raids. She says the ice immigration
raids are what has led to unrest, saying there was
no problem in the city on Thursday.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
The day before the raids started.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Governor Newsom has sued the Trump administration for calling up
the two thousand National Guard members to protect federal property.
Whole Foods says it has been hit by a cyber
attack that could disrupt supplies to some stores. The company
has had to take some systems offline to deal with
the attack that it says has impacted its ability to
have customer orders.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
At six oh five, it's handle on the news. Yeah,
he's going to.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Be talking about the raids, what's going on, what's coming
up next, And as always it'll be a fun handle
take on the news.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Let's say good morning.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Now to ABC's Shannon Kingston. Shannon, President Trump is calling
on in the Marines, So let's break it down.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
First of all, what authority does he have to do that.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Well, right now, he's using Title ten, which does give
the president the ability to centralize the National Guard and
bring in active duty members of the military. So so far,
we've seen the total number of assigned military personnel to
deal with the protests in Los Angeles climb to about
four eight hundred, So those troops are solely making their
(14:51):
way into the city. But a big question going forward
is whether President Trump might invoke the Insurrection Act because
that would give those troops on the ground significantly more
ability to confront protesters, to do things like crowd control.
Is one of the most extreme emergency powers available to
(15:12):
a sitting president.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
Okay, so we're not there yet, and so let's talk
about if could you mention that if he did the
Insurrection Act, that the troops could then confront protesters and stuff.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
They don't they're not allowed to do that right now.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
So as as they fan out across the city or
arrive in the city, what kinds of things will they
be doing and how will they be armed?
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Well, what the guardsmen and the active duty military members
are allowed to do right now is protect federal assets.
So that might be federal buildings that could be ICE agents,
for example, who are carrying out these raids that spark
the protests, and they can also defend themselves. Now, they
will be carrying their standard issue service webs but they
(16:00):
won't have things like tear grass. They will have protective
equipment such as helmet shields and gas masks, but they
won't be directly handling crowds like we've seen the LAPD
do so far.
Speaker 6 (16:14):
Okay, And and if if I'm understanding correctly from what
I've seen, they will not really be armed.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
They'll have weapons, but they won't be loaded.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
So that is meant to kind of control at how
esclotworthy situations can be. But of course, you know, this
could all change as we go forward here. The President
has suggested that he is he could use the Insurrection Act.
He hasn't taken that off the table. He's called the
protesters insurrectionists, but he also did say yesterday that he
(16:46):
thought the situation was trending in the right direction. So
really this could change hour by hour.
Speaker 6 (16:52):
Okay, And you mentioned that they can protect federal assets,
so they can prevent protect the federal building, they could
protect the federal agents, but they're not directly assisting local
police or shriffs deputies.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Is that correct, that's right, not at this point, okay,
And do we have any idea how long they might
be here.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Well, right now, it's indefinite to deal with the situation
under Title tense, so there's no time limit exactly on
how long they can be in Los Angeles. But of
course we know this is a drain on military resources
because for every troop that's deployed, it does take a
certain number of troops to back them up and help
(17:36):
with logistical support. So typically it's not in the interest
of the federal government to keep something like this going
for very long. It'll be as the situation calls for it.
But we also do know, of course that the President
and California Governor Gavin Newsom are having a bit of
a feud themselves, so we are seeing this fight kind
(17:57):
of play out on two different levels, Newsom versus Trump
and also cederal versus state authorities.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Okay, and we'll be watching it closely. Thank you, Shannon Kingston,
ABC News.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
When we come back.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
We're gonna get in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Find out what's happening with the markets. Time to get
in your.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
Business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donna. Ho morning, Courtney, good morning. Okay,
So let's talk about candy. Oh, just a way to
start the day.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
You know what.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
The Nerds gummy clusters is what we're gonna be talking about.
And our very own Kono is a huge proponent of these.
Speaker 11 (18:31):
Oh, I love them. Anytime my kids get them. Uh,
that's where they disappear. Please don't tell them. That's gonna
be our secret. But of course it's become now a
massive hit in the candy store. The gummy that's covered
if you haven't seen them, they have the tiny crunchy
Nerds and it's within a gummy center. It's overtaken Skittles
as the top sugar confection in the US. So candymaker
(18:55):
Ferrara they make them. It came from Nesley first and
they bought it about seven years ago. And they say
Nerds is on track for more than nine hundred million
dollars in sales this year. That's a more than seventeen
percent increase in those seven years, and they said much
of that bump is due to the gummy clusters. So
if for those of you who love it, next in
development for the brand, according to food industry tracker, food
(19:18):
Dive is Nerds juicy gummy clusters, So it contains juice
in the center. It's three times the size of a
gummy cluster, so yay, and it's juice in the center here. Yeah, Okay,
that sounds a little gross. No, those are those candies
are kind of fun, you know when you get that
little surprise of like sweetness.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
So remember there was this was years ago, there was
a bubble gum that had a juicy center.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
I don't remember what it was called.
Speaker 11 (19:45):
Yeah, and it wasn't juicy fruit because that has no
taste to it.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Well it does for the first three seconds.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
But yeah, it was like a bubble gum and you'd
bite into it and they had that gooey stuff come
out in the middle.
Speaker 11 (19:55):
Yes, well that's kind of what they're attempting to try
to do. I remember that gum year's ago.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
That was great. Okay, I'm going to look that up.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
Okay, let's move on to college graduates. Maybe they're going
to have a tough, tough go of it.
Speaker 11 (20:10):
Yes, and especially their parents who want them to get
a job. Even more, it's a worse labor marketing years
for entry level highers. So I'm sorry to go from
candy and something so fun to something so tough for
so many people. According to the New York Fed, the
unemployment rate for degree holders between the ages of twenty
two and twenty seven has hit five point eight percent.
That is the highest level in about four years. Companies
(20:32):
have cut the number of college grads they plan to
hire because of the on again, off again tariffs. They're
trying to decide what they need to do with their expenses. Plus,
you can't forget about artificial intelligence is replacing a lot
of entry level jobs.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
Like I've heard as much as like ninety percent of
those jobs are just going to go away.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yeah, and that's going.
Speaker 11 (20:50):
To be so tough for so many people who just
need to get their foot in the door. They need
to learn about the industry, what's going to happen there.
You can't just jump right in without getting that sort
of experience. So the whole entire job market has has
and is continuing to evolve in the future. And this
is tough for a lot of kids who are coming
out of school right now, okay, with the economy, yeah, okay,
(21:13):
and then.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
Real quick, why might we see some empty shelves at
the grocery store.
Speaker 11 (21:17):
Wholesale distributor United Natural Foods has been hacked and that's
disrupting all their deliveries to stores around the country. But
the company is the primary distributor for whole Foods United
Natural Foods. They've shut some of their systems. They're investigating
this on authorized activity. The company says it's working closely
with customers to minimize the disruption as much as possible.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
But right now you might see some sparseness, yes, especially
when you go to Whole Foods.
Speaker 11 (21:42):
They signed this contract last year with this company.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Okay, the gum was freshen up, Yes, that was it.
Oh my goodness. Yeah, bringing back the memories getting in.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
Your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Dona, who like we do
every day at five point forty.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
We'll talk to you tomorrow, you later, all right, thanks Courtney.
When we come back. We are tightening the purse strings.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
We're not spending as much on luxury items as nervousness
over the economy continues, but there is one thing we
are doing in Joel Larsgard, the host of Patamoney on KFI,
joins us to tell us what it is and whether
we should be doing it. Tuesday morning, wake up, call
my how the time flies? Hope you're getting up, getting
your day started and getting ready to head out the door.
Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
(22:27):
The LAPD has had to go on tactical alert again
following a fourth straight day and night of unrest in
the city over immigration raids. Stay Superintendent Tony Thurman has
a message for President Trump, keep your hands off California's kids.
Thurmann sent a statement following the deployment of National Guard
troops and ice rates in LA. He said, in his words,
(22:48):
the President's unchecked, unnecessary deployment of our nation's military to
the city of Los Angeles is deeply dangerous for our children,
for our families, and for our country. The LA County
Sheriff's uh has a warning for protesters. He says deputies
will defend themselves if rocks and bottles are thrown at them.
Sheriff Robert Luna also said that Sheriff's deputies. Our Sheriff's
(23:11):
department does not assist federal immigration agents, but will defend
those agents, his deputies, and any other agency from attacks.
Thet's say good morning now to the host of How
to Money on KFI. It's our very own Joel Larscard.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
Joel.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
Yes, you know how.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
They say one person's trash is another person's treasure.
Speaker 10 (23:33):
Uh huh.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Okay, So you say that this has been driven home
for you.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah, well so I have found this to be true
in my life at different periods in the past. But
this article in Indie Week caught my attention, and this
the author said, Hey, you know what I did. I
went around to you know, a bunch of college. College
students are graduating right now, and she went to her
local university and found that kind of things being just
(24:01):
tossed aside, thrown away. We're quite nice that these college
students were saying, I got to get out of here,
got my degree, and they just left a bunch of
stuff in the dumpster around the dumpster on the curb.
And so she was able to score almost seven thousand
dollars worth of free goods because yeah, people are piecing
out and they're getting rid of their stuff. And I've
(24:21):
just found this to be true in my own life too,
that sometimes people are done with something. My wife got
rid of some perfectly nice tennis shoes the other day.
She was like, they're just that they don't fit me
right anymore, and so someone's totally gonna score if we
give those to goodwill, which we probably will. So I
think it's just just a good reminder to say, one
person's trash is another person's treasure, and if you're the
(24:42):
thoughtful kind of person who's on the lookout, you might
be able to score a deal and score something essentially free.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
I think gently used as a lovely thing. Yeah, one
of my best friends and I have the same sized shoe.
Most of most my best friends don't have the same
size shoe, but we swap shoes back and forth all
the time.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
It's like, I don't want to wear these anymore. Will
don't look at me that way.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
They're still clean, all right anyway, So yes, I agree
with you. Well let's move on, because we'll still give
me the stink guy.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
I'm just gonna say. I've had friends legit start businesses
from this where they're like, wait, they see like an
inefficiency where the nice stuff gets donated to a certain
place where they're grad at, like curb pickups and stuff
like that. I'm just saying, keep your eyes open, keep
your mind open to the possibility that somebody else's discard
might be something that you can pull into.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
Your life and use.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Well, look at like the real real They've made a
fortune off of this one percent, and there's like all.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Sorts of Peloton just launched a used store, right, so
they're they're trying to recycle goods for their customers. The
truth is, though, in so many instances, you're going to
do better by cutting out the middleman, going straight to
Facebook marketplace and buying that used Peloton yourself directly from
somebody who doesn't want it anymore, instead of paying Peloton
(25:58):
twice as much for the privilege of buying me you
s Peloton from them.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (26:02):
Okay, So Campbell's came out with a study saying that
more people are eating at home and their home their
soup sales are up and that kind of stuff because
people are worried about the economy.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
But you're saying that your numbers don't jive with that.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Well, no, I'm not saying my numbers don't drive with that.
I'm saying, it's one small little data point. So it's
interesting how that Campbell's coming out and saying, hey, people
are buying more not just of their canned soups, but
of like pasta, sauce and crackers and stuff.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
Like that too.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
They're basically saying definitively, people are cooking at home more.
And that's kind of sort of true. Maybe right now
a small trend back towards cooking at home, but when
you look at the overall trend over the past decade,
it's been a significant trend of people eating out more
than they cook at home. That's really never been the
case until really recent history. And when you look at
(26:51):
the price discrepancy of cooking at home versus eating out,
it's massive. We're talking average meal in of four dollars
per person average eating. The average cost of eating out
is seventeen dollars per person per meal. So if you're
taking a family five out to eat, you're dropping a
hundred bucks. If you're eating in as a family, you're
(27:12):
talking about twenty bucks. And that adds up significantly. And
so we've seen a greater discrepancy in the cost of
eating out and cooking at home and so yeah, grow
we talk about how expensive groceries are, but the truth
is it's so much cheaper to buy the groceries and
to cook at home. It's important to have a plan
to actually use this up that you buy, and to
(27:32):
not just say on a whim, now we're going to
go out to eat tonight, because and I get that
I've fallen. I have fallen into that cycle at times
in the past where you just don't feel like it
that night. That's why it's so important a meal plan
ahead of time and maybe even bash cooked on the weekend.
That can help a lot of people actually stick to
the plan of eating at home instead of eating out,
because that can be such a backbreaking cost.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
You're making me feel bad. I did that yesterday. I
was like, I don't feel like cooking.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
I'm going to to my little ginger grass in my
neighborhood and it was lovely and I have left over,
so I got two meals in one.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
There you go, two meals in one. And I don't
want to guilt people into saying like you can't eat out.
You sort of pen and should like just budget for
it and make sure you're not doing it like thoughtlessly.
And another thing that helps me with that is just
having a few different frozen foods that we know are
reasonably healthy and then we could pop in in a pinch.
So like when we weren't planning on eating out, we
(28:25):
don't eat out. We kind of keep the eating at
home and eating out budget impact that way.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
Here's my recommendation, and Bill Handle would be happy about
this because it's from Costco. It's the salmon burgers. They're
frozen and they make a lovely little meal. You can
put them on a burger, just eat them as a
patty and they're kind of last second if you forget
and you want to eat healthy still, and Credit Jos.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
And Costco both do a great job with like frozen
pre made meals. So I think, you know, people have
a lot of options for that, but definitely look towards
some of those some of those frozen options that can
be healthy and tafety.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Okay, So like everything that Joel tells us, we just
need to plan for it, make sure that we've got
a plan so we don't overspend, and then go and
enjoy a good meal. Joel Larsguard, host of How to Money,

Here's Amy King.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Out of bed, lazyhead, time to get up.
Speaker 5 (00:29):
I like your shirt.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Hey, thanks wearing my Dodger gear today.
Speaker 6 (00:32):
Well it's because producer Anne wore her Padres gear yesterday.
Oh she's got it on again today. Dodgers Padres playing
each other. Oh yeah, Dodgers won last night eight to seven.
Playing again today of course, then the Dodgers come to
the game. No, I was watching riots and protests.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
And chimes in early today.
Speaker 6 (00:55):
Why do you think that the Padres should have won
the game?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Of course? Oh okay, it's a really good game. Oh
it was, and you can't talk smack and you didn't
even watch it.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
I didn't talk smack. I just said we won, okay,
And I know where you go. It's that way about
our Padres.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
So the the Dodgers are playing the Giants this weekend,
and then the Padres are coming to town next week.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
So we'll see a fan's going to be happy or sad.
Speaker 6 (01:26):
I think we'll be able to gauge it from the
results of the games.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Anyway.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
Hey, I want to say, as all these protests and
all this stuff continues, thank you so much to LAPD
and the La County Sheriff and other law enforcement agencies
for doing their best to do to keep things under control,
because they're getting out of control and they're getting you know,
pelted and thrown and thrown stuff at and attacked, and
(01:53):
I think that they're just keeping their cool. And when
you see the protesters getting up in their face and
yelling and screaming, and they're just.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Uh huh, all right, good, got it.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
Let's just stay calm, so uh hats off, and thank
you LAPD, L Kenna Sheriff's Department, deputies and all the
law enforcement doing your best to keep things under control.
Speaking of control, let's see what's ahead. On wake up call,
the LAPD had to go on tactical alert for a
second night after a fourth day and night of protesting
(02:24):
over ice raids in the city. Most of downtown around
the Civic Center was declared off limits after demonstrators block traffic,
through objects and got into tussles with police. Police has
to make the crowds last night, we're a little bit
smaller than Sunday night protests broke out outside the Federal
Building in Santa Ana following ice raids in Orange County.
Police declared an unlawful assembly last night. At least ten
(02:45):
people were arrested. Protesters were seen shooting fireworks and throwing
objects at police, who fired back with flashbangs. LA's school
superintendent says he's going to keep parents safe during their
kids graduation ceremonies, regardless of their immigrations status. Alberto Carvallo
has instructed school police to increase their presence at the
more than one hundred graduation ceremonies that are happening between
(03:08):
yesterday and today. When asked if Governor Newsom should be
arrested for impeding law enforcement, President Trump said, Yeah, that
might be a good thing. ABC's Karen Travers is the
one who asked that question. She'll join us in just
a couple of minutes. The Marines are coming to LA,
about seven hundred of them. ABC Sen Kingston joins us
at FI point twenty to talk about when they'll get here,
(03:28):
what they'll be doing and what they won't be doing
in LA. And we're tightening the purse strings. We're not
spending as much on luxury items as nervousness over the
economy continues. But there is one thing we are doing.
Joel Larsgard, the host of How the Money on KFI,
joins us at five point fifty to tell us what
that is and whether we should be doing it. Let's
get started with some of the stories coming out of
(03:50):
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom that protest against immigration
rates in Santa Anna I got chaotic last night. Police
had to declare an unlawful assembly. The protests around the
Civic Center plaza escalated as people through rocks, bottles, fireworks,
and other items. The city put out a statement saying
federal agents were being overrun at the federal building and
(04:11):
that in response, federal agents have deployed less lethal ammunition,
including tear gas, pepper balls, and rubber bullets. Several people
were seen in handcuffs. We're hearing about ten arrests borders are.
Tom Holmes is the immigration enforcement efforts in an around
LA have targeted criminals. He taels kfi's John Cobalt that
several of the detainees have been charged with crimes unrelated
(04:34):
to their immigration status.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
Of our public safety throats office street. We rest of
the murderer, we rested several child predators, child sex preasors.
We rested the rapist. We arrested someone connective.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Armed robbery home.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
It says the initial immigration enforcement ad action at a
business in the fashion district targeted and operation involved in
money laundering and other crimes. A masked group has been
seen on video handing out riot gear gas masks to
protesters in downtown La.
Speaker 8 (05:02):
KTTV captured the video on Monday, just feet away from
federal buildings. National Guard troops were standing outside the federal buildings,
but no local police were visible at the time. When
report says people arrived with truckloads of UVX bionic face shields,
It's unclear who the people who handed out the gear
are affiliated with. Daniel Martindale KFI News.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
LA County Supervisor Lindsay hor Horvath has criticized the Trump
administration for sending the Marines to La. She tells KTLA
she believes local authorities have things under control.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
There are many people.
Speaker 9 (05:32):
Out there who are trying to use the peaceful protests
as cover for bad behavior, and that's why law enforcement
is on hand.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Horvez says the LAPD, sheriff's deputies and CHP officers are
not available to help ICE agents. Five oh seven on
your wake up call, time to check in with ABC's
Karen Travers. So, Karen is The bickering between President Trump
and Governor Newsom continues over the call up of the
National Guard members. Trump says, maybe it'd be a good
(06:02):
thing if the governor got arrested.
Speaker 9 (06:05):
Yeah, that's what he said yesterday after his borders are
Tom Homan had said insisted kind of that there was
no discussion about arresting Newsom, kind of clarifying some comments
he had made in an interview. He pushed back on
the idea Homan did that he was going to arrest
Newsom or the LA mayor Karen Bass. The President, though,
said I would do it if I were Tom. I
think it's great. Newsom said that that was an unmistakable
(06:28):
step toward authoritarianism and the acts of a dictator. I
asked the President what crime Newsom had committed that would
warrant his arrest, and the President told me, I think
his primary crime is running for governor, because he's done such.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
A bad job.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Always the jokester.
Speaker 6 (06:47):
Okay, So there does appear that there's a lot of
political posturing on both sides. Newsom's kind of making comments
that make him sound decidedly like a presidential candid it
in my humble opinion, But who can win and who.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Can lose on this?
Speaker 6 (07:04):
I mean, the chances of Newsome getting arrested maybe slim,
But like, you know, who's got more at stake here?
Speaker 9 (07:13):
You know, I think these are two men who have
a lot of political history. They have not shied away
from going back and forth and going at each other
on policy issues, on politics. So it's like they were
both kind of eager to jump into the fray against
each other in a way that maybe the President wouldn't
do with a governor of another state. This is kind
(07:35):
of a fight that he was eager to have with Newsome,
not necessarily over the issue, but with Newsom. Newsom doing
it right back on social media. So, you know, I
don't know, We'll see how this plays out. I do
think it was notable that yesterday I asked the President
if he was going to deploy Marines in California, and
he told me, we'll see what happens. I think we
(07:56):
have it very well under control. I think it would
have been a very situation. It was heading in the
wrong direction. It's now heading in the right direction. And
then minutes later we confirmed that seven hundred marines based
out of twenty nine palms had been ordered to assist
in LA So it's kind of an interesting answer of,
you know, taking that step after saying that things were
trending in the right direction, the President making that move.
(08:20):
Not clear what those marines are going to do.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
They already had started.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
Arriving, but again a decision made without consulting with the governor.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
And we're going to be talking to your colleague, Shannon
Kingston more about the deployment of those marines just in
a few minutes.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
So ABC's Karen.

I'm ame king Thanks for getting your day started with us.
You know who else is starting their day? Sonny and Gizmo,
the bald Eagles. They're getting ready to head out for
the day. I still love watching them, even though they're
(12:42):
all grown up now. They were flying around yesterday. It's
cool to see them take off. Like one of them
took off yesterday morning, and then the other one like
watched them for a minute and then went, Okay, I
guess it's my time. I'm guessing it was Sonny who
took off first, and then Gizmo followed her, and then
they were.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Both gone all day, and then they came back to

Protests or protesters rather have thrown objects at officers guarding
the Federal building in Downtown LA's demonstrations against ice raids
took to the streets for the fourth day and night.
Officers responded with flash bangs, teargas, non lethal rounds. President
Trump has deployed two thousand more National Guard troops and
(13:27):
activated seven hundred marines. Le Mayor bass Is called on
Trump to stop the raids. She says the ice immigration
raids are what has led to unrest, saying there was
no problem in the city on Thursday.

Governor Newsom has sued the Trump administration for calling up
the two thousand National Guard members to protect federal property.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
At six oh five, it's handle on the news. Yeah,
he's going to.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Be talking about the raids, what's going on, what's coming
up next, And as always it'll be a fun handle
take on the news.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Let's say good morning.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Now to ABC's Shannon Kingston. Shannon, President Trump is calling
on in the Marines, So let's break it down.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
First of all, what authority does he have to do that.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
Well, right now, he's using Title ten, which does give
the president the ability to centralize the National Guard and
bring in active duty members of the military. So so far,
we've seen the total number of assigned military personnel to
deal with the protests in Los Angeles climb to about
four eight hundred, So those troops are solely making their
(14:51):
way into the city. But a big question going forward
is whether President Trump might invoke the Insurrection Act because
that would give those troops on the ground significantly more
ability to confront protesters, to do things like crowd control.
Is one of the most extreme emergency powers available to
(15:12):
a sitting president.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
Okay, so we're not there yet, and so let's talk
about if could you mention that if he did the
Insurrection Act, that the troops could then confront protesters and stuff.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
They don't they're not allowed to do that right now.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
So as as they fan out across the city or
arrive in the city, what kinds of things will they
be doing and how will they be armed?
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Well, what the guardsmen and the active duty military members
are allowed to do right now is protect federal assets.
So that might be federal buildings that could be ICE agents,
for example, who are carrying out these raids that spark
the protests, and they can also defend themselves. Now, they
will be carrying their standard issue service webs but they
(16:00):
won't have things like tear grass. They will have protective
equipment such as helmet shields and gas masks, but they
won't be directly handling crowds like we've seen the LAPD
do so far.
Speaker 6 (16:14):
Okay, And and if if I'm understanding correctly from what
I've seen, they will not really be armed.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
They'll have weapons, but they won't be loaded.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
So that is meant to kind of control at how
esclotworthy situations can be. But of course, you know, this
could all change as we go forward here. The President
has suggested that he is he could use the Insurrection Act.
He hasn't taken that off the table. He's called the
protesters insurrectionists, but he also did say yesterday that he
(16:46):
thought the situation was trending in the right direction. So
really this could change hour by hour.
Speaker 6 (16:52):
Okay, And you mentioned that they can protect federal assets,
so they can prevent protect the federal building, they could
protect the federal agents, but they're not directly assisting local
police or shriffs deputies.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Is that correct, that's right, not at this point, okay,
And do we have any idea how long they might
be here.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Well, right now, it's indefinite to deal with the situation
under Title tense, so there's no time limit exactly on
how long they can be in Los Angeles. But of
course we know this is a drain on military resources
because for every troop that's deployed, it does take a
certain number of troops to back them up and help
(17:36):
with logistical support. So typically it's not in the interest
of the federal government to keep something like this going
for very long. It'll be as the situation calls for it.
But we also do know, of course that the President
and California Governor Gavin Newsom are having a bit of
a feud themselves, so we are seeing this fight kind
(17:57):
of play out on two different levels, Newsom versus Trump
and also cederal versus state authorities.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Okay, and we'll be watching it closely. Thank you, Shannon Kingston,
ABC News.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
When we come back.
Speaker 6 (18:07):

Speaker 4 (18:11):
Find out what's happening with the markets. Time to get
in your.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
Business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donna. Ho morning, Courtney, good morning. Okay,
So let's talk about candy. Oh, just a way to
start the day.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
You know what.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
The Nerds gummy clusters is what we're gonna be talking about.
And our very own Kono is a huge proponent of these.
Speaker 11 (18:31):
Oh, I love them. Anytime my kids get them. Uh,
that's where they disappear. Please don't tell them. That's gonna
be our secret. But of course it's become now a
massive hit in the candy store. The gummy that's covered
if you haven't seen them, they have the tiny crunchy
Nerds and it's within a gummy center. It's overtaken Skittles
as the top sugar confection in the US. So candymaker
(18:55):
Ferrara they make them. It came from Nesley first and
they bought it about seven years ago. And they say
Nerds is on track for more than nine hundred million
dollars in sales this year. That's a more than seventeen
percent increase in those seven years, and they said much
of that bump is due to the gummy clusters. So
if for those of you who love it, next in
development for the brand, according to food industry tracker, food
(19:18):
Dive is Nerds juicy gummy clusters, So it contains juice
in the center. It's three times the size of a
gummy cluster, so yay, and it's juice in the center here. Yeah, Okay,
that sounds a little gross. No, those are those candies
are kind of fun, you know when you get that
little surprise of like sweetness.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
So remember there was this was years ago, there was
a bubble gum that had a juicy center.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
I don't remember what it was called.
Speaker 11 (19:45):
Yeah, and it wasn't juicy fruit because that has no
taste to it.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Well it does for the first three seconds.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
But yeah, it was like a bubble gum and you'd
bite into it and they had that gooey stuff come
out in the middle.
Speaker 11 (19:55):
Yes, well that's kind of what they're attempting to try
to do. I remember that gum year's ago.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
That was great. Okay, I'm going to look that up.
Speaker 6 (20:02):
Okay, let's move on to college graduates. Maybe they're going
to have a tough, tough go of it.
Speaker 11 (20:10):
Yes, and especially their parents who want them to get
a job. Even more, it's a worse labor marketing years
for entry level highers. So I'm sorry to go from
candy and something so fun to something so tough for
so many people. According to the New York Fed, the
unemployment rate for degree holders between the ages of twenty
two and twenty seven has hit five point eight percent.
That is the highest level in about four years. Companies
(20:32):
have cut the number of college grads they plan to
hire because of the on again, off again tariffs. They're
trying to decide what they need to do with their expenses. Plus,
you can't forget about artificial intelligence is replacing a lot
of entry level jobs.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
Like I've heard as much as like ninety percent of
those jobs are just going to go away.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yeah, and that's going.
Speaker 11 (20:50):
To be so tough for so many people who just
need to get their foot in the door. They need
to learn about the industry, what's going to happen there.
You can't just jump right in without getting that sort
of experience. So the whole entire job market has has
and is continuing to evolve in the future. And this
is tough for a lot of kids who are coming
out of school right now, okay, with the economy, yeah, okay,
(21:13):
and then.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
Real quick, why might we see some empty shelves at
the grocery store.
Speaker 11 (21:17):
Wholesale distributor United Natural Foods has been hacked and that's
disrupting all their deliveries to stores around the country. But
the company is the primary distributor for whole Foods United
Natural Foods. They've shut some of their systems. They're investigating
this on authorized activity. The company says it's working closely
with customers to minimize the disruption as much as possible.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
But right now you might see some sparseness, yes, especially
when you go to Whole Foods.
Speaker 11 (21:42):
They signed this contract last year with this company.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Okay, the gum was freshen up, Yes, that was it.
Oh my goodness. Yeah, bringing back the memories getting in.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
Your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Dona, who like we do
every day at five point forty.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
We'll talk to you tomorrow, you later, all right, thanks Courtney.
When we come back. We are tightening the purse strings.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
We're not spending as much on luxury items as nervousness
over the economy continues, but there is one thing we
are doing in Joel Larsgard, the host of Patamoney on KFI,
joins us to tell us what it is and whether
we should be doing it. Tuesday morning, wake up, call
my how the time flies? Hope you're getting up, getting
your day started and getting ready to head out the door.
Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
(22:27):
The LAPD has had to go on tactical alert again
following a fourth straight day and night of unrest in
the city over immigration raids. Stay Superintendent Tony Thurman has
a message for President Trump, keep your hands off California's kids.
Thurmann sent a statement following the deployment of National Guard
troops and ice rates in LA. He said, in his words,
(22:48):
the President's unchecked, unnecessary deployment of our nation's military to
the city of Los Angeles is deeply dangerous for our children,
for our families, and for our country. The LA County
Sheriff's uh has a warning for protesters. He says deputies
will defend themselves if rocks and bottles are thrown at them.
Sheriff Robert Luna also said that Sheriff's deputies. Our Sheriff's
(23:11):
department does not assist federal immigration agents, but will defend
those agents, his deputies, and any other agency from attacks.
Thet's say good morning now to the host of How
to Money on KFI. It's our very own Joel Larscard.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
Joel.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
Yes, you know how.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
They say one person's trash is another person's treasure.
Speaker 10 (23:33):
Uh huh.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Okay, So you say that this has been driven home
for you.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah, well so I have found this to be true
in my life at different periods in the past. But
this article in Indie Week caught my attention, and this
the author said, Hey, you know what I did. I
went around to you know, a bunch of college. College
students are graduating right now, and she went to her
local university and found that kind of things being just
(24:01):
tossed aside, thrown away. We're quite nice that these college
students were saying, I got to get out of here,
got my degree, and they just left a bunch of
stuff in the dumpster around the dumpster on the curb.
And so she was able to score almost seven thousand
dollars worth of free goods because yeah, people are piecing
out and they're getting rid of their stuff. And I've
(24:21):
just found this to be true in my own life too,
that sometimes people are done with something. My wife got
rid of some perfectly nice tennis shoes the other day.
She was like, they're just that they don't fit me
right anymore, and so someone's totally gonna score if we
give those to goodwill, which we probably will. So I
think it's just just a good reminder to say, one
person's trash is another person's treasure, and if you're the
(24:42):
thoughtful kind of person who's on the lookout, you might
be able to score a deal and score something essentially free.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
I think gently used as a lovely thing. Yeah, one
of my best friends and I have the same sized shoe.
Most of most my best friends don't have the same
size shoe, but we swap shoes back and forth all
the time.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
It's like, I don't want to wear these anymore. Will
don't look at me that way.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
They're still clean, all right anyway, So yes, I agree
with you. Well let's move on, because we'll still give
me the stink guy.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
I'm just gonna say. I've had friends legit start businesses
from this where they're like, wait, they see like an
inefficiency where the nice stuff gets donated to a certain
place where they're grad at, like curb pickups and stuff
like that. I'm just saying, keep your eyes open, keep
your mind open to the possibility that somebody else's discard
might be something that you can pull into.
Speaker 7 (25:31):
Your life and use.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Well, look at like the real real They've made a
fortune off of this one percent, and there's like all.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Sorts of Peloton just launched a used store, right, so
they're they're trying to recycle goods for their customers. The
truth is, though, in so many instances, you're going to
do better by cutting out the middleman, going straight to
Facebook marketplace and buying that used Peloton yourself directly from
somebody who doesn't want it anymore, instead of paying Peloton
(25:58):
twice as much for the privilege of buying me you
s Peloton from them.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (26:02):
Okay, So Campbell's came out with a study saying that
more people are eating at home and their home their
soup sales are up and that kind of stuff because
people are worried about the economy.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
But you're saying that your numbers don't jive with that.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Well, no, I'm not saying my numbers don't drive with that.
I'm saying, it's one small little data point. So it's
interesting how that Campbell's coming out and saying, hey, people
are buying more not just of their canned soups, but
of like pasta, sauce and crackers and stuff.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
Like that too.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
They're basically saying definitively, people are cooking at home more.
And that's kind of sort of true. Maybe right now
a small trend back towards cooking at home, but when
you look at the overall trend over the past decade,
it's been a significant trend of people eating out more
than they cook at home. That's really never been the
case until really recent history. And when you look at
(26:51):
the price discrepancy of cooking at home versus eating out,
it's massive. We're talking average meal in of four dollars
per person average eating. The average cost of eating out
is seventeen dollars per person per meal. So if you're
taking a family five out to eat, you're dropping a
hundred bucks. If you're eating in as a family, you're
(27:12):
talking about twenty bucks. And that adds up significantly. And
so we've seen a greater discrepancy in the cost of
eating out and cooking at home and so yeah, grow
we talk about how expensive groceries are, but the truth
is it's so much cheaper to buy the groceries and
to cook at home. It's important to have a plan
to actually use this up that you buy, and to
(27:32):
not just say on a whim, now we're going to
go out to eat tonight, because and I get that
I've fallen. I have fallen into that cycle at times
in the past where you just don't feel like it
that night. That's why it's so important a meal plan
ahead of time and maybe even bash cooked on the weekend.
That can help a lot of people actually stick to
the plan of eating at home instead of eating out,
because that can be such a backbreaking cost.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
You're making me feel bad. I did that yesterday. I
was like, I don't feel like cooking.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
I'm going to to my little ginger grass in my
neighborhood and it was lovely and I have left over,
so I got two meals in one.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
There you go, two meals in one. And I don't
want to guilt people into saying like you can't eat out.
You sort of pen and should like just budget for
it and make sure you're not doing it like thoughtlessly.
And another thing that helps me with that is just
having a few different frozen foods that we know are
reasonably healthy and then we could pop in in a pinch.
So like when we weren't planning on eating out, we
(28:25):
don't eat out. We kind of keep the eating at
home and eating out budget impact that way.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
Here's my recommendation, and Bill Handle would be happy about
this because it's from Costco. It's the salmon burgers. They're
frozen and they make a lovely little meal. You can
put them on a burger, just eat them as a
patty and they're kind of last second if you forget
and you want to eat healthy still, and Credit Jos.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
And Costco both do a great job with like frozen
pre made meals. So I think, you know, people have
a lot of options for that, but definitely look towards
some of those some of those frozen options that can
be healthy and tafety.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Okay, So like everything that Joel tells us, we just
need to plan for it, make sure that we've got
a plan so we don't overspend, and then go and
enjoy a good meal. Joel Larsguard, host of How to Money,

like that, our time is done.
