Cole Shreiver's going to get you up to date with
all the traffic. I'm hoping it's not going to be
a bad traffic day.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
We're already up to a bad start.
Speaker 6 (01:02):
Really.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I was gonna say there was a there was a
lot of traffic for me coming in, Yes, and that
was at three thirty. I don't, okay, So a lot
is like ten cars.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
A lot of people are awake.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I wonder if it's because next week is fourth of
July and people are just they're getting out and taking
the whole week off or something.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Okay, here's something else. I want to know where the
heck are Sunny and Gizmo. Oh my eagles. I thought
I saw some movement in the nest this morning, but
now the light is breaking on the nest high above
Big Bear, like, I don't see a darn thing. So
I know they're growing up and it's harder to catch
glimpses of them. But you know, friends of Big Bear
(01:43):
Valley is still keeping an eye out, and they post
pictures and stuff when you see him flying, when they
see him flying around and perched in other trees.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
But they're just they're not the nest anymore.
Speaker 7 (01:53):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Yeah, I'm gonna have to find a new obsession, seriously.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Disneyland maybe, Well that's an ongoing obsession along with Dodgers games.
So I'll find something else, all right. Here's what's ahead
on wake up Call. The Metro Board of Directors has
advanced emotion instructing the agency staff to update policies regarding
station closures during protests in downtown LA. The Little Tokyo
(02:19):
train station was closed between June eighth and thirteenth, four
about eight to twelve hours a day. Other downtown stations
were also temporarily closed. Downtown bus services were re routed
during that timeframe, and a lot of complaints came in
because people got stranded. Governor Newsom is expected to sign
the state's budget today a deal today. The budget has
(02:42):
changes that include increasing housing construction that bypassed the California
Environmental Quality Act and exemptions for new homes to be
built in urban areas. Newsom is urging lawmakers to pass
the changes and says failing to do so could threaten
other areas.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Of the budget.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Police are investigating a break in at Brad Pitt's home
in Los Felis.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Pitt isn't at home.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
He's on the road promoting his latest movie, f One
that debuts in theaters today. The home was broken into
Wednesday night. Police say the burglars broke in through a
front window, stole some stuff, and ransacked the place. Okay,
so there are scams on the elderly, there are scams
from the DMV, there's scams from the Sheriff's department. And
(03:24):
now if you've got student loans, there are scams for
that too. ABC's Jim Ryan's gonna clue us in on
the latest in about three minutes, the planning for US
air strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities with no fly by
night operation.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
You see what I did, even though they flew at night.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
ABC's Karen Travers is going to join us at five
twenty to tell us about the plans that were fifteen
years in the making with more and more people renting
instead of buying. We're gonna do a little apartment therapy
with the host of Home on KFI, Dean Sharp.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
That's at the bottom of the hour, and then at.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Five point fifty you may want to race to movie
theaters this weekend. ABC's Will Gans is going to tell
us why let's get started with some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The
LA Department of Water and Power says the Santa Ynez
Reservoir in the Pacific Palisades is finally back online. It
was out of service and empty since early last year
(04:21):
because its cover had a tear in it and it
needed to be fixed. The reservoir was empty at the
time of the wildfires in January. News brought to you
by Sit and Sleep. Some lawmakers in California say President
Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard to support immigration
raids in La is hindering fire and drug enforcement response.
(04:42):
Democrat State Senator Ben Allen, who represents the Pacific Palisades,
says the Guard members who are part of the state's
firefighting unit are only at forty percent capacity.
Speaker 8 (04:52):
It's just lame that we don't have access to the
Guard right now to do that sort of work.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Four without and California National Guard members are supporting the
ice rates. Three cities in La County that are predominantly
Hispanic have canceled or postponed Fourth of July celebrations. Officials
in Bell Gardens, Huntington Park, and Cutahee say it's because
of the ongoing immigration raids. Bell Gardens Mayor orhel Chevez
(05:19):
tells KTLA his city is encouraging people to stay at
home to celebrate.
Speaker 9 (05:23):
These federal agents, these bounty hunters, whatever they are, because
they're not identifying themselves. They're coming out picking people up
walking across the street and they're not even no questions asked.
You're taking you in a car.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
A report by the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of
La or CHURLA says Bell Gardens is one of the
communities impacted the most by ice raids, and LA is
ranked in the top ten best places in the US
to celebrate the fourth of July. A study by luggage
storage network bounce dot com analyzes cities that offer the
best blend of atmosphere and affordability based on things like
(05:55):
average hotel prices, parade schedules, historical weather. LA checks in
at number ten. San Francisco and San Diego are ranked
even higher, but the survey says the top spot in
the country to celebrate Independence Day is New York City.
We wake up call, let's say good morning to ABC's
Jim Ryan. So, Jim, it seems like every time we
(06:17):
talk we're talking about a new scam.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
So you got another one for us.
Speaker 10 (06:22):
Yeah, this one really goes both directions. It's two scams
in one if you will, all of it involving colleges.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (06:31):
I told two friends, they told two friends, they told AI,
and AI made an application for a student loan based
on a ghost student. So yeah, these are real things.
So much of the loan application process now and student assistance.
You know, the financial aid is done online right that
students don't walk in in person anymore and sit down
(06:53):
in front of a registrar or a financial aid person
then fill out applications. It's all done online. That has
opened up the floodgates to AI induced fraud. Right, So
scammers out there use the personal data of actual people,
their names, addresses, social security numbers, other data to make
(07:14):
applications for student loans, right. And the colleges want to
get kids in those seats, and so they grant the loans.
Then the scammer disappears with the money. In the meantime,
these and especially if it's an online course that you're
trying to enroll in, you may find that it's full
of ghost students and there are no more seats because
(07:35):
you know, quote seats, because they've all been taken up
by these scammers and their ghost students.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Okay, so, like, how do you protect yourself from this one, because,
like you said, it looks legit.
Speaker 10 (07:51):
Yeah, well, these of course are targeting colleges and universities
and they're financial aid offices. But you also have the
other kind of scam number two here, and that is
the scams that target student borrowers or their parents who
are trying to get their kids educations paid for. So
you have debt relief companies that promise there they can
(08:12):
help out with student loan forgiveness, or companies that will
help you with the loan application process. But remember FAFSA.
FAFSA is the Federal student Aid. The first staff stands
for free, Free application for Federal Student Aid. You shouldn't
have to pay a fee to apply for a FAFTS
A loan. That's the one big red flag here. And
(08:32):
like any scam, you're being pushed into acting now. Hurry, hurry.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
So those are maybe some buzzwords to look for. It
look for, you know, when they want you to pay upfront,
or when they're like saying, oh, don't wait, there's this
you know sale only today or something like that.
Speaker 10 (08:51):
Okay, right, And in this case it's student loans and
you know you need to get in here and you
need to apply for it right now, and you need
to have us help you in order to get to
that student loan or that loan forgiveness.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Which is it's sort of a double edged sword too,
because some people who might not be that savvy with
it would rather have somebody help them kind of help
navigate the student loan process.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (09:15):
Absolutely, And it's a complicated process or it can be
and especially if you're doing it totally online, you might
think that, Okay, I can get some help from a
person who really knows what they're doing. Well, that person
may or may not be working in your best interest,
may just be looking for that fee that they're asking
that you pay.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Okay, So you just need to do your due diligence,
don't trust anything, and crush your fingers and hope for
the best.
Speaker 10 (09:39):
That's it. That's it. And if you do get scammed,
get in touch with your bank, get in touch with
you know, the actual university, and try to make good.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
Geez, they're just doing it everywhere. Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
ABC's Jim Ryan, thank you for alerting us to this
latest scam because I know that it's probably student loan
time too, because it's June and with people going to.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
College in the fall, now's the time.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
All right, Thank you so much. Have a good weekend.
We had a weird little delay on that one, but
we made it through.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
The Supreme Court's term is almost over.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
They wrap up today and before that we're expecting to
get decisions on the six cases still outstanding. They include
age verification for online pornography, preventative care under Obamacare, opt
out rights for kids, lgt LGBTQ books, and President Trump's
(10:35):
birthright Citizenship executive order.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
That's a big one.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
ABC's Devin Dwyer s's justices have heard arguments on whether
judges can block Trump's order to end birthright citizenship.
Speaker 11 (10:46):
The decision today will likely focus almost perhaps entirely on
that issue, and I should add that might even be
more consequential than the issue of citizenship itself.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
The fourteenth Constitutional Amendment grants the right to citizenship for
every baby born in the US. Times winding down for
Republican lawmakers who want to pass President Trump's so called
One Big Beautiful Bill by the fourth of July. Michigan
Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin says her party is trying to
get Republicans to vote against the bill, which includes significant
(11:18):
cuts to medicaid funding.
Speaker 12 (11:19):
At the end of the day, the President is trying
to browbeat people into voting for this thing and soon,
and so it's going to be up to my Republican
colleagues whether they have a spine on these issues or not.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
The Senate parliamentarian has advised a medicaid provider tax overhaul
central to Trump's bill does not meet procedural rules. The
defense will give closing arguments today in the trial of
music mogul Sean Combs. ABC's Aaron Katursky says Combs is
pleaded not guilty to all sex trafficking and racketeering charges
(11:50):
against him.
Speaker 13 (11:51):
He was rather calm and occasionally he would write notes
to his lawyers. If he heard something that he may
not have liked, he gestured to his family, put his
head and over his heart.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Prosecutors wrapped their closing arguments yesterday. An elderly woman in
Florida says she's lucky to have survived a tornado that
tore through her retirement community. Seventy six year old Deborah
Metler says she was inside when the tornado hit her home.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
I didn't realize I was actually up in the air.
Speaker 10 (12:20):
Was too busy doing some resaults and.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Getting thrash from one side the room through the wall
to the other side. Yike's video shows an EF one
tornado moving through the city of Largo, north of Saint Petersburg,
lifting a mobile home nearly completely off the ground and
leaving it teetering on its side before it slammed back
down to the ground. Former Governor of New York Andrew
Cuomo says he's staying in the race to become New
(12:45):
York City's next mayor. ABC's Andrew Dimbert says that's despite
his unexpected loss in the primary.
Speaker 14 (12:50):
Cuomo, who enjoyed support from big money donors, says he'll
be on the November ballot as an independent.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
The Democratic Party has been won by Indie Muslim candidate
Zorhan Mom.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Donnie just a good old Board.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
And No Hog, the actor who played Deputy Cleatus Hog
on The Dukes of Hazzard, has died. His wife says
he died unexpectedly yesterday in la He appeared in dozens
of shows in the seventies, including Mash Happy Days in Kojak.
In the eighties, his movie credits included The Karate Kid
and Steel Magnolia's, but most will remember him as the
deputy who was always getting into car chases with the
(13:29):
Duke boys on the Dukes of Hazzard. Rickhursed was seventy
nine the Santa Nez reservoir that was damaged and empty
when the wildfire broke out in Pacific Palisades in January
has been repaired and partially refilled. The one hundred and
seventeen million gallon reservoir was drained in early twenty twenty four.
Without the reservoir, water tanks in the area were severely strained,
(13:51):
causing firefighters to lose water pressure at the peak of
the fire. A fifty one year old man's pleaded not
guilty to charges of shooting and killing a passenger on
a metro bus, robbing another passenger, then hijacking the bus
and leading police on a slow speed chase. It happened
last year in South la. The guy is facing murder
and other charges. More than eighty five hundred flights have
been delayed because of severe storms in the Midwest, Southwest,
(14:14):
Great Lakes, mid Atlantic, and Northeast. Tracking website flight Aware
shows more than seven hundred flights were canceled yesterday. Let's
say good morning to ABC's Karen Travers. So, Karen, it
was kind of like something straight out of Hollywood. The
Defense Secretary and Joint Chiefs outlined the mission to take
out Iran's nuclear program.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
And this mission was not just hatched a few weeks.
Speaker 12 (14:40):
Ago, and no, I mean this takes a lot of
time to determine how you could target an underground nuclear facility.
And it was a fifteen year project that a US
officer working for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency started back
in two thousand and nine, according to the Chairman of
the Joint Chief's Staff, General Dang He said, this officer
(15:01):
and another colleague would go on to spend fifteen years
studying the site in great detail, looking at the weather patterns,
looking at the geology of the mountain, taking into account
the items that were brought into the site, things that
were taken out of the site, looking at ventilation shafts
and what they thought of the electrical systems and all
of that, so that they could figure out how to
(15:22):
target it if an order ever came to try to
strike that fourtoh nuclear facility.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
And then the time came and they.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Went ahead and launched that attack.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
And during that briefing, which I think we kind of
thought we were going to get a little bit more
confirmation of what the mission accomplished, did we get any
more information about what it accomplished, So.
Speaker 12 (15:51):
There was no new evidence or intelligence. Yesterday, presented by
the Secretary of Defense feed HEGSEP or general pain that
indicates around nuclear program in fact destroyed. Cain said that
that determination is up to despite its agencies, and that
the military doesn't grade its own homework. Secretary Hegseth notably
continued to dismiss the early intelligence report from within the
(16:14):
Pentagon that sources say indicates the attack only set back
Around's nuclear program by a few months. Sources say that
that preliminary intelligence assessment from the Pentagon also indicates that
Iron had removed some of its near nuclear weapons grade
uranium before the US strike was carried out.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Okay, and I heard I heard somebody it might have
been the President say I don't think they got it out,
but we don't have any indication of whether it actually
was removed or where it might be.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
At this time, the.
Speaker 12 (16:44):
President on social media said nothing was taken out of
the facility. He said it would have taken too long
and it was too dangerous and very heavy and hard
to move. But again, sources tell us that the preliminary
intelligence assessment from this agency at the Pentagon indicates that
they removed at least some of it before the strike.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, and then that begs the question because I think
a lot of us now have seen the aerial photo
of all those trucks lined up outside one of the
nuclear facilities leading up to the attacks, and what were
those trucks for?
Speaker 12 (17:16):
So they didn't say exactly.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
So many questions. ABC's Karen Travers, thank you for answering
some of them.
Speaker 14 (17:24):
I have a great day, all right you.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Two officials have released details about how a teenage soccer
player from North Hollywood died earlier this year.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
The body of thirteen year old Oscar Omar Hernandez was
found in a ditch earlier this year in Ventura County.
The Medical Examiner's office is now saying that he died
from alcohol poisoning. A forty three year old soccer coach
who had already been under investigation for two other alleged
sexual assaults, has been charged with murdering the boy. Jason
Campedonia KFI News.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
A fifty nine year old man in Irvine's been charged
with sexually assaulting two teenage girls that he is related to.
Richard Lamox is facing several felonies for assaulting the girls,
who are fourteen or fifteen. The assaults apparently happened in
January and June, Lamox did not enter a plea.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
He's scheduled to be arraigned July twenty fourth.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
California's recent hate crime report shows an increase of almost
three percent from twenty twenty three to twenty four.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
There were just over two thousand reported incidents last year.
Despite the rise, the numbers remain lower than a peak
in twenty twenty two. Most hate crimes are racially motivated,
particularly against the Black community, which accounted for nearly a
quarter of reported cases in the state in twenty twenty four.
There were also rises in hate crimes targeting Jewish, Latino,
and LGBTQ plus people, with a significant increase of over
(18:42):
two hundred percent for Jewish and transgender people over the
past decade. Hate crimes against the Asian community have decreased
for the third consecutive year. Mark Ronner KFI News Ela.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Kenny Sheriff's homicide detectives say the shooting and killing of
a man in the Florence Graham neighborhood of South la
could have been part of a carjacking. Deputies from the
department Century City Station were called out late last night
to Compton Avenue and East ninetieth Street, where they found
the man.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
He died at the scene.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Faster EV chargers are coming to Costco membership only.
Speaker 11 (19:16):
Big Bucks Warehouse store has installed supercharger stalls at six locations,
including its store in Northport, Florida. The company electric Era,
founded by former SpaceX engineers, is looking to help solve
the electric vehicle charging infrastructure problem in America with its
Level three charging stalls. Those can recharge a battery up
to eighty percent and twenty minutes to an hour. That's
(19:36):
just enough time to pop into the Costco, buy more
stuff than you need, and return to your EV ride
with a full tank or battery. Level one chargers take
eleven to twenty hours to recharge, and Level twos take
six to eight hours. Michael Krozier KFI News.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Okay, so we were just talking to Karen Travers about
how the US executed its attack on Iran nuclear facilities
and including that one that was buried deep inside the mountain.
The US dropped bunker busters down air shafts at the facility.
Speaker 8 (20:06):
Oh that's very teams bondy.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
No, but I do think it sounds familiar.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Oh, I knew I'd heard of that before.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
So remember the rebellion shot its little laser bombs or
photon bombs down a thermal exhaust port to destroy the
Death Star.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Your ports will not be easy. You're required to maneuver
straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point.
The target area is only two meters wide. It's a
small thermal exhaust port right below the main port. The
shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit
(20:47):
will start a chain reaction, which should destroy the station.
Only a precise hit will set up a chain reaction.
The shaft is ratiated, so you'll have to use proton torpedoes.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
That's impossible for a.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Computer, that's not impossible.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Haste Bullseye womp rats in my T sixteen back home.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
They're not much going to tim Rats.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
They're nine your ships and may the Force be with you.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Another case of life imitating art.
Speaker 14 (21:13):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Bell Gardens has canceled its fourth of July firework show
because of ongoing ice operations. The city made the announcement
on Instagram, saying all scheduled events in the city have
been called off through July tenth because of concerns over
federal immigration enforcement. Ninety six percent of the thirty nine
thousand people who live in Bell Gardens are Hispanic. Huntington
Park and Katahey have also canceled their Fourth of July celebrations.
(21:38):
A grand jury report issued today concludes or.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
That has been issued.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
I guess it was issued yesterday, concluded that Orange County
officials should do more to combat hate crimes. It also
questioned why the agency overseeing data collection was missing information
from coast to Mesa Garden Grove, Orange and Westminster. The
number of hate crimes reported in OC actually went down
from one hundred twelve in two thousand and two to
ninety five in twenty twenty three. A fire burning near
(22:04):
the Tchikida Canyon landfill has charged about thirty seven acres.
It's ninety percent surrounded. The fire, west of the five
and just south of Valverdi, broke out yesterday afternoon. Let's
say good morning to the host of home on KFI.
The house whisper it's Dean sharp morning, Dean morning, aian.
So recent reports are showing that a lot more people
(22:24):
are renting now rather than buying, and even people with
a lot of money are choosing to rent rather than buy.
So I thought, maybe you know, we do a little
home therapy apartment therapy, and find out some ways to
make a rental feel more like a home, knowing that
you can't replace the cabinets and knock.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Down walls exactly.
Speaker 13 (22:45):
And a lot of people get discouraged because they think, well,
you know, I'm renting this place. It's an apartment, it's
a house, whatever the case may be. I just can't.
I can't really make it home. And that's so not true.
Home is where you live. You just have to take
a difference strategy. Of course, you're not going to be
knocking down well please don't not walk down knock on
(23:05):
walls in your rental house. But that doesn't mean that
you can't actually, you know, own the space for yourself.
Things like color coordinating a room is such a simple concept,
but once you've done it once, things like drapes and
carpet or rug areas and throw pillows are all working
(23:30):
off the same color palette. Man, that place becomes yours.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
And I've done some of these. You send a list
of all these pictures and ideas and I'm like, oh,
done that.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Oh wait, need to do that.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
And then you also said, along with colors, like lighting
can really help make your home feel more homey.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Oh, yeah, of course.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
You know.
Speaker 13 (23:52):
We live in the age now in the twenty first century,
a very very high tech wireless lighting control, right, thing
like smart lamps being able to control and to dim things.
Let's say you live in an apartment. You're like, there
are no dimmer switches in my apartment. That doesn't matter.
You don't have to rewire the place. There are smart
(24:14):
light dimmer controls that you can run down to the
hardware store and buy, take with you whenever you move,
plug them in into an outlet, hook them up to
your Wi Fi, and plug the lamp into that. And
all you have to do is say, Hey, I'm going
to avoid saying the name of the personal assistance so
it doesn't respond to me. Here, Hey, turn the lamp
(24:35):
down to ten percent, and boom, You've got dimmer control
over the lighting in a room and you have not
called an electrician to get that done.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
I love that, okay.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
And then one of the other things is like, I'm
sitting in my apartment, which I love and I've decorated,
but the walls are white. Is there anything you can
do without painting the walls?
Speaker 13 (24:54):
There are lots of things you can do without painting
the walls. There is removable static cling wallpaper these days,
which is fantastic. I mean static cling, not glue. It
doesn't leave a residue when it's done. There are sections
of wallpaper that you can put up. There are things
like magnetic refrigerator panels, pulling up drapes, creating drapes for
(25:19):
your windows. And you may think, wait, hey, I'm not
allowed to drill into the walls. They're quick hang no
drill curtain rod brackets out there now, which means that
they can rest right over the top of the window
and hold that curtain rod and you can have your
own drapes, your own curtains, your own aesthetics in the
room without making any permanent damage to walls or changes.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I love this, Okay, then one other one that I
like this idea too, just to personalize it. You're not
making any structural changes, but like just swapping out like
light switch plates or cabinet knobs and poles, you can
always put them back exactly.
Speaker 13 (25:57):
Cabinet knobs are just screwed onto the front of the
cabinet with a simple bolt from the backside of the
drawer or the door the same with the light switch plates.
You can customize them to have your own kind of
going on and again and take it with you. It's
a screwdriver. It's going to take you two minutes to
(26:17):
change these things out. You put the old ones in
a drawer. When you move out, you just swap them
back out again.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I love this, And of course plants always help make
a home feel more homey, so that's a good idea.
And then I love this one, which I just did
it not too long ago. It's update your betting. But
I'm gonna have to do it again because my cat
likes to need and she's destroying my expensive duvet cover.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
But yeah, so many great ideas.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
So just because it's not your house, it doesn't mean
it can't be a home.
Speaker 13 (26:46):
Absolutely, you are the thing that makes your place your home.
And finding creative ways of getting you all around, whether
it's your color, whether it's your picture frames, whether it's
your stuff, that is what makes that place you.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
You're so wise.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
If you want to hear more wisdom from Dean Sharp,
you can listen to them tomorrow morning from six to
eight right here on KFI, or and or nine to
noon on Sunday it's home on KFI with our house
whisper Dean Sharp.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
You can also follow him at home with Dean. Thank you, Dean.
Speaker 13 (27:21):
Thanks Amy.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Time to get your business now with Bloomberg's Monica Rix,
who's in for Courtney again today.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
So, Monica, I'm.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
So excited to hear about this because there's so many
stores and Target's one of them, and I think my
CBS is one of them, and Walmart they're they're locking
up stuff because thefts are so high. But now Target's
testing some new tech to unlock the store shelves hopefully
make it a little faster.
Speaker 15 (27:48):
Yes, Target testing out new technology now to lock and
unlock those store shelves from a smartphone. So once they
have that in place, it's going to help staff to
unlock those plastic cases a lot quicker than manually opening
them with keys.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
The weight time maybe a.
Speaker 15 (28:03):
Little bit shorter as well, just because they'll have more
time to get from point A to point B in
this tour. So the retailer obviously says it's an effort
to curb theft, but it also says that it could
improve your shopping experience because of that. Walmart tested a
similar tool at some of its locations last year and
are they still using it. I'm not quite sure if
it really took off, but we just know that they
(28:25):
were testing it and so we'll see. Well, they still
need staff to do it, which, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
It's frustrating. I get it.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
It's you know, it's it's the reality that we live in.
When it's time for concerts and you want to see
a show, there's a new king and Queen.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 15 (28:44):
Kendrick Lamar and Sizza's Grand National Tour is now the
highest grossing co headline tour in history. They officially beat
Beyonce and jay Z, who'd held that title since twenty eighteen.
Billboard saying the k dot and says A generated two
hundred and fifty six point four million dollars, sold more
than a million tickets at twenty three shows, including those
(29:05):
shows at SOFI and State Farm Stadiums in La last month.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Okay, okay, And if you love horror, is this that
Universal in Florida so attraction?
Speaker 6 (29:17):
No, Well, let me explain Universal.
Speaker 15 (29:20):
Hollywood obviously has Halloween Horror Nights that's going to start
September fourth, and the one in Orlando is going to
start a little bit earlier, but Universal just announced that
it's set to open another year round immersive horror experience.
It's called Horror Unleashed and it's going to open up
in Chicago and this would be the second of its kind.
(29:40):
The first one is going to open up in Las
Vegas in August. So if you don't want to wait
till horror nights, maybe want to get your horror fixed
a little bit early, head on down to Vegas in
August because they're going to have four haunted houses in
that attraction with other entertainment included live horror experiences.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
Not for me, but I think a lot of people
would enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, why only be scared at Halloween. And one last thing,
Zoomba Cruises are back.
Speaker 15 (30:06):
Oh yeah, start stretching, get that hip mobility going because
the Zoomba Cruise will set sail again next year after
a seven year hiatus.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
They took a little bit of a pause.
Speaker 15 (30:16):
But Norwegian says that the five day fitness cruise is
going to depart from Miami and head to Cozumel, Mexico
in March. They're going to be able to accommodate about
twenty three hundred guests. And if you're interested, it'll cost
about twelve hundred bucks a person.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
You pay a lot more money to work out instead
of just sitting there and eating and drinking on the
cruise like you're supposed to. Okay, that's in your business
with Bloomberg's Monika Rix. Thanks Monica, appreciate it, Thank you
all right, Good weekend. Today's the deadline for the City
of La to turn over protest related documents to Congress.
A Congressional committee has launched an investigation into how Governor
(30:53):
Newsom and La Mayor Bass handled the anti Ice demonstrations.
Chair James Comer claims LA was not able to stop
protesters from getting violent and looting. Senate Democrats and Republicans
area received classified briefings on the US air strikes against
Iranian nuclear sites. Arkansas Republican Tom Cotton says the attacks.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Were an extraordinary success.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Connecticut Democrat Chris Murray or Murphy rather, says from what
he's seen, the Iran nuclear program was damaged, but not obliterated,
as the President claims. The Getty Villa, which has been
closed since the fire in Pacific Palisades in January's reopening
today with a new exhibit. The villa will be open
on a limited schedule Monday from ten to five or
(31:40):
through Monday from ten am to five pm. It's limited
to limit the amount of traffic on PCH. We're just
minutes away from Handle. On the news this morning, the
Supreme Court has six decisions left and those are expected
to come down today.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Right now, say good morning to ABC's.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Multi platform reporter Will gans Bill. It's blockbuster time. You
might want to raise the theaters.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Huh, that's right, and you'll see plenty of Brad Pitt
on the big screen.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
It's always a good day, right.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
That's what I'm saying, Like, what else do you really need?
And if you add in a score from Hans Zimmer,
direction from the guy who did Top Gun Maverick, I
mean it has all the trappings of a perfect summer movie,
and audiences are definitely feeling that way leaving this movie.
F one. It is about, you know, of course, Formula
one racers and Brad Pitt plays sort of washed up,
(32:34):
you know, could have been amazing driver who joins a
team that needs a little help. And is it a
little bit predictable? Probably? But will it have it have
you on the edge of your seat. Definitely. You know,
I am not an F one fan, but this movie
was wildly entertaining to me. So I think it's a
ton of fun if anyone's looking for something to see
(32:55):
in the theaters this weekend.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
It sounds to me like Top Gun Maverick in a car.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
Yeah. I think that's pretty much exactly correct. You know,
it's like it's same, sounds similarly like you you know,
I'm not a fighter pilot, but I was in the
cockpit with Tom Cruise for you know, Top Gun Maverick.
So yeah, you know, like it's like that's how it feels.
It feels like, you know, suddenly you're there with them,
and it's it's an action packed adventure.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Sounds like fun, and it's getting good reviews. I Rotten
Tomatoes is all over it.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Yes, yes, I mean the audience scores like ninety seven percent,
which is crazy. Critics scores a little bit lower than that,
but you know that's okay.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
It's a summer blockbuster, so if critics hated, I probably
love it anyway.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
It's usually how it goes right yep.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Okay, So if you're not going to movie theaters and
you want to do the couch thing like, which I
am known for doing.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
Uh, I didn't even know there was a new season
for squid Game.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Yeah, and it's the last one. So you know, squid
Game was initially supposed to be a movie. Then they
released it as a series of television, and then it
shattered like every record in the world on Netflix. Yeah,
so they were like, Okay, guess we'll do it season
two and a season three. So this is the final
season and it is, you know, in line with the
first two. It is. If you're squeamish or don't like
(34:14):
to feel stressed out, this is not the show for you.
But every episode is now streaming on Netflix. So if
you want to stay in and finish that series, this
is a good weekend for that.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Okay, So it's not half the season like Netflix sometimes does,
it's the whole season.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Correct, correct. Yeah, come December, November and December. They've split
Stranger Things final season. There's like three different drops for that.
But no, this is all of it at once.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
Okay, I know.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
What I'm doing this weekend, and then I'm very excited
about this too, because I love the show.
Speaker 5 (34:45):
Christine Baranski Cynthia Nixon.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
Are back oh my gosh, yes, to name a few,
Carrie Koon, Audra McDonald. The list goes on. The Gilded
Age is back on HBO Max. And this is like
I included it today, particularly because of how opposite it
is from Squid Game. Like the Gilded Age is beautiful,
and the costumes and the acting and the pacing is
(35:10):
just like elegant and you know, wonderful. It's still dramatic,
it'll still keep your interest, but you know it's about
the new money versus old money sort of New York
City scene at the turn of the century, and it's
just yeah, it's just wonderful, and the stakes are high again.
This is season three of that show. And you know
when HBO puts something out on a Sunday night, that
(35:31):
is their cue to be like, this is going to
be great because that's where we have like White Lotus
and The Last of Us and things like that. So
Sunday nights, the Gilded Age is back on HBO Max.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Oh so we have to wait for Sunday for that one, Okay,
So I can binge Squid Game, get done with that,
and then by Sunday I'll be ready for the Gilded Age.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Yeah, And you have to sneak in a trip to
go see Brad Pitt somewhere in between there on the
big screen.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
All Right, great, ABC's Willgans, thanks so much for the info.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
All Right, Amy, have a great weekend.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
All right, you too.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The massive budget
bill that is crucial for President Trump's agenda is being
worked on in the Senate. Trump is asking Congress to
pass it by July fourth, but hebces. Nicole d Antonio
says proposed changes to Medicaid and other things are causing
some trouble. The Medicaid reforms include new work requirements, a
crackdown on fraud, and closing a loophole that states used
(36:22):
to boost the Medicaid funds they get from the governments. Critics,
including some Republicans, say closing that loophole is going to
force many hospitals in rural areas to close. News brought
to you by Seller's Advantage. A fourteen year old boy
from Santa Clarita has fallen off a mountain cliff. Ryan
Walk says he and his son were climbing Mount Whitney
when the boy got altitude sickness, so because of that
(36:45):
they started climbing back down, but the boy's condition got worse.
He began hallucinating and walked off a cliff. He fell
about one hundred and twenty feet, breaking his ankle, pelvis,
and finger. He suffered head trauma. He used in a
medically induced coma at a hospital in Las Vegas. Gas
prices could soon hit the roof San Diego assembly Member
Carl Demio says he was told in a closed door
(37:06):
session that the California oil industries on the brink of collapse.
Speaker 14 (37:09):
In California, we are not going to be saved by
Trump's energy policies because we are on an energy island.
We do not have a pipeline that connects to the
rest of the country, and that's been the case for decades.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
DeMaio also says a pending pipeline shutdown could result with
the cost of regular gas hitting above ten dollars a
gallon and could even lead to gas rationing. Governor Newsom
says Demio's just wrong. A burbank man has hit it
big with a one million dollar win from a triple
red Triple seven scratchers ticket. It was bought at Chuck's
(37:46):
Corner Market. Meantime up in snow McKenny, a woman scored
a thirty million dollars Superlatto plus jackpot. She chose the
Lump Sun fourteen million before taxes.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
I'd ticket. The guy behind an iconic theme song has died.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Lalo Schiffrin, who wrote the theme for Mission Impossible and
more than one hundred other arrangements for film and TV,
has passed away. The Argentinian won four Grammys. He was
nominated for six Oscars, including five four Original Score for

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Cole Shreiver's going to get you up to date with
all the traffic. I'm hoping it's not going to be
a bad traffic day.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
We're already up to a bad start.
Speaker 6 (01:02):
Really.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I was gonna say there was a there was a
lot of traffic for me coming in, Yes, and that
was at three thirty. I don't, okay, So a lot
is like ten cars.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
A lot of people are awake.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I wonder if it's because next week is fourth of
July and people are just they're getting out and taking
the whole week off or something.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Okay, here's something else. I want to know where the
heck are Sunny and Gizmo. Oh my eagles. I thought
I saw some movement in the nest this morning, but
now the light is breaking on the nest high above
Big Bear, like, I don't see a darn thing. So
I know they're growing up and it's harder to catch
glimpses of them. But you know, friends of Big Bear
(01:43):
Valley is still keeping an eye out, and they post
pictures and stuff when you see him flying, when they
see him flying around and perched in other trees.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
But they're just they're not the nest anymore.
Speaker 7 (01:53):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Yeah, I'm gonna have to find a new obsession, seriously.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Disneyland maybe, Well that's an ongoing obsession along with Dodgers games.
So I'll find something else, all right. Here's what's ahead
on wake up Call. The Metro Board of Directors has
advanced emotion instructing the agency staff to update policies regarding
station closures during protests in downtown LA. The Little Tokyo
(02:19):
train station was closed between June eighth and thirteenth, four
about eight to twelve hours a day. Other downtown stations
were also temporarily closed. Downtown bus services were re routed
during that timeframe, and a lot of complaints came in
because people got stranded. Governor Newsom is expected to sign
the state's budget today a deal today. The budget has
(02:42):
changes that include increasing housing construction that bypassed the California
Environmental Quality Act and exemptions for new homes to be
built in urban areas. Newsom is urging lawmakers to pass
the changes and says failing to do so could threaten
other areas.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Of the budget.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Police are investigating a break in at Brad Pitt's home
in Los Felis.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Pitt isn't at home.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
He's on the road promoting his latest movie, f One
that debuts in theaters today. The home was broken into
Wednesday night. Police say the burglars broke in through a
front window, stole some stuff, and ransacked the place. Okay,
so there are scams on the elderly, there are scams
from the DMV, there's scams from the Sheriff's department. And
(03:24):
now if you've got student loans, there are scams for
that too. ABC's Jim Ryan's gonna clue us in on
the latest in about three minutes, the planning for US
air strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities with no fly by
night operation.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
You see what I did, even though they flew at night.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
ABC's Karen Travers is going to join us at five
twenty to tell us about the plans that were fifteen
years in the making with more and more people renting
instead of buying. We're gonna do a little apartment therapy
with the host of Home on KFI, Dean Sharp.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
That's at the bottom of the hour, and then at.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Five point fifty you may want to race to movie
theaters this weekend. ABC's Will Gans is going to tell
us why let's get started with some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The
LA Department of Water and Power says the Santa Ynez
Reservoir in the Pacific Palisades is finally back online. It
was out of service and empty since early last year
(04:21):
because its cover had a tear in it and it
needed to be fixed. The reservoir was empty at the
time of the wildfires in January. News brought to you
by Sit and Sleep. Some lawmakers in California say President
Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard to support immigration
raids in La is hindering fire and drug enforcement response.
(04:42):
Democrat State Senator Ben Allen, who represents the Pacific Palisades,
says the Guard members who are part of the state's
firefighting unit are only at forty percent capacity.
Speaker 8 (04:52):
It's just lame that we don't have access to the
Guard right now to do that sort of work.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Four without and California National Guard members are supporting the
ice rates. Three cities in La County that are predominantly
Hispanic have canceled or postponed Fourth of July celebrations. Officials
in Bell Gardens, Huntington Park, and Cutahee say it's because
of the ongoing immigration raids. Bell Gardens Mayor orhel Chevez
(05:19):
tells KTLA his city is encouraging people to stay at
home to celebrate.
Speaker 9 (05:23):
These federal agents, these bounty hunters, whatever they are, because
they're not identifying themselves. They're coming out picking people up
walking across the street and they're not even no questions asked.
You're taking you in a car.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
A report by the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of
La or CHURLA says Bell Gardens is one of the
communities impacted the most by ice raids, and LA is
ranked in the top ten best places in the US
to celebrate the fourth of July. A study by luggage
storage network bounce dot com analyzes cities that offer the
best blend of atmosphere and affordability based on things like
(05:55):
average hotel prices, parade schedules, historical weather. LA checks in
at number ten. San Francisco and San Diego are ranked
even higher, but the survey says the top spot in
the country to celebrate Independence Day is New York City.
We wake up call, let's say good morning to ABC's
Jim Ryan. So, Jim, it seems like every time we
(06:17):
talk we're talking about a new scam.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
So you got another one for us.
Speaker 10 (06:22):
Yeah, this one really goes both directions. It's two scams
in one if you will, all of it involving colleges.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (06:31):
I told two friends, they told two friends, they told AI,
and AI made an application for a student loan based
on a ghost student. So yeah, these are real things.
So much of the loan application process now and student assistance.
You know, the financial aid is done online right that
students don't walk in in person anymore and sit down
(06:53):
in front of a registrar or a financial aid person
then fill out applications. It's all done online. That has
opened up the floodgates to AI induced fraud. Right, So
scammers out there use the personal data of actual people,
their names, addresses, social security numbers, other data to make
(07:14):
applications for student loans, right. And the colleges want to
get kids in those seats, and so they grant the loans.
Then the scammer disappears with the money. In the meantime,
these and especially if it's an online course that you're
trying to enroll in, you may find that it's full
of ghost students and there are no more seats because
(07:35):
you know, quote seats, because they've all been taken up
by these scammers and their ghost students.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Okay, so, like, how do you protect yourself from this one, because,
like you said, it looks legit.
Speaker 10 (07:51):
Yeah, well, these of course are targeting colleges and universities
and they're financial aid offices. But you also have the
other kind of scam number two here, and that is
the scams that target student borrowers or their parents who
are trying to get their kids educations paid for. So
you have debt relief companies that promise there they can
(08:12):
help out with student loan forgiveness, or companies that will
help you with the loan application process. But remember FAFSA.
FAFSA is the Federal student Aid. The first staff stands
for free, Free application for Federal Student Aid. You shouldn't
have to pay a fee to apply for a FAFTS
A loan. That's the one big red flag here. And
(08:32):
like any scam, you're being pushed into acting now. Hurry, hurry.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
So those are maybe some buzzwords to look for. It
look for, you know, when they want you to pay upfront,
or when they're like saying, oh, don't wait, there's this
you know sale only today or something like that.
Speaker 10 (08:51):
Okay, right, And in this case it's student loans and
you know you need to get in here and you
need to apply for it right now, and you need
to have us help you in order to get to
that student loan or that loan forgiveness.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Which is it's sort of a double edged sword too,
because some people who might not be that savvy with
it would rather have somebody help them kind of help
navigate the student loan process.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (09:15):
Absolutely, And it's a complicated process or it can be
and especially if you're doing it totally online, you might
think that, Okay, I can get some help from a
person who really knows what they're doing. Well, that person
may or may not be working in your best interest,
may just be looking for that fee that they're asking
that you pay.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Okay, So you just need to do your due diligence,
don't trust anything, and crush your fingers and hope for
the best.
Speaker 10 (09:39):
That's it. That's it. And if you do get scammed,
get in touch with your bank, get in touch with
you know, the actual university, and try to make good.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
Geez, they're just doing it everywhere. Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
ABC's Jim Ryan, thank you for alerting us to this
latest scam because I know that it's probably student loan
time too, because it's June and with people going to.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
College in the fall, now's the time.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
All right, Thank you so much. Have a good weekend.
We had a weird little delay on that one, but
we made it through.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
The Supreme Court's term is almost over.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
They wrap up today and before that we're expecting to
get decisions on the six cases still outstanding. They include
age verification for online pornography, preventative care under Obamacare, opt
out rights for kids, lgt LGBTQ books, and President Trump's
(10:35):
birthright Citizenship executive order.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
That's a big one.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
ABC's Devin Dwyer s's justices have heard arguments on whether
judges can block Trump's order to end birthright citizenship.
Speaker 11 (10:46):
The decision today will likely focus almost perhaps entirely on
that issue, and I should add that might even be
more consequential than the issue of citizenship itself.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
The fourteenth Constitutional Amendment grants the right to citizenship for
every baby born in the US. Times winding down for
Republican lawmakers who want to pass President Trump's so called
One Big Beautiful Bill by the fourth of July. Michigan
Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin says her party is trying to
get Republicans to vote against the bill, which includes significant
(11:18):
cuts to medicaid funding.
Speaker 12 (11:19):
At the end of the day, the President is trying
to browbeat people into voting for this thing and soon,
and so it's going to be up to my Republican
colleagues whether they have a spine on these issues or not.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
The Senate parliamentarian has advised a medicaid provider tax overhaul
central to Trump's bill does not meet procedural rules. The
defense will give closing arguments today in the trial of
music mogul Sean Combs. ABC's Aaron Katursky says Combs is
pleaded not guilty to all sex trafficking and racketeering charges
(11:50):
against him.
Speaker 13 (11:51):
He was rather calm and occasionally he would write notes
to his lawyers. If he heard something that he may
not have liked, he gestured to his family, put his
head and over his heart.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Prosecutors wrapped their closing arguments yesterday. An elderly woman in
Florida says she's lucky to have survived a tornado that
tore through her retirement community. Seventy six year old Deborah
Metler says she was inside when the tornado hit her home.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
I didn't realize I was actually up in the air.
Speaker 10 (12:20):
Was too busy doing some resaults and.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Getting thrash from one side the room through the wall
to the other side. Yike's video shows an EF one
tornado moving through the city of Largo, north of Saint Petersburg,
lifting a mobile home nearly completely off the ground and
leaving it teetering on its side before it slammed back
down to the ground. Former Governor of New York Andrew
Cuomo says he's staying in the race to become New
(12:45):
York City's next mayor. ABC's Andrew Dimbert says that's despite
his unexpected loss in the primary.
Speaker 14 (12:50):
Cuomo, who enjoyed support from big money donors, says he'll
be on the November ballot as an independent.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
The Democratic Party has been won by Indie Muslim candidate
Zorhan Mom.
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Donnie just a good old Board.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
And No Hog, the actor who played Deputy Cleatus Hog
on The Dukes of Hazzard, has died. His wife says
he died unexpectedly yesterday in la He appeared in dozens
of shows in the seventies, including Mash Happy Days in Kojak.
In the eighties, his movie credits included The Karate Kid
and Steel Magnolia's, but most will remember him as the
deputy who was always getting into car chases with the
(13:29):
Duke boys on the Dukes of Hazzard. Rickhursed was seventy
nine the Santa Nez reservoir that was damaged and empty
when the wildfire broke out in Pacific Palisades in January
has been repaired and partially refilled. The one hundred and
seventeen million gallon reservoir was drained in early twenty twenty four.
Without the reservoir, water tanks in the area were severely strained,
(13:51):
causing firefighters to lose water pressure at the peak of
the fire. A fifty one year old man's pleaded not
guilty to charges of shooting and killing a passenger on
a metro bus, robbing another passenger, then hijacking the bus
and leading police on a slow speed chase. It happened
last year in South la. The guy is facing murder
and other charges. More than eighty five hundred flights have
been delayed because of severe storms in the Midwest, Southwest,
(14:14):
Great Lakes, mid Atlantic, and Northeast. Tracking website flight Aware
shows more than seven hundred flights were canceled yesterday. Let's
say good morning to ABC's Karen Travers. So, Karen, it
was kind of like something straight out of Hollywood. The
Defense Secretary and Joint Chiefs outlined the mission to take
out Iran's nuclear program.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
And this mission was not just hatched a few weeks.
Speaker 12 (14:40):
Ago, and no, I mean this takes a lot of
time to determine how you could target an underground nuclear facility.
And it was a fifteen year project that a US
officer working for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency started back
in two thousand and nine, according to the Chairman of
the Joint Chief's Staff, General Dang He said, this officer
(15:01):
and another colleague would go on to spend fifteen years
studying the site in great detail, looking at the weather patterns,
looking at the geology of the mountain, taking into account
the items that were brought into the site, things that
were taken out of the site, looking at ventilation shafts
and what they thought of the electrical systems and all
of that, so that they could figure out how to
(15:22):
target it if an order ever came to try to
strike that fourtoh nuclear facility.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
And then the time came and they.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Went ahead and launched that attack.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
And during that briefing, which I think we kind of
thought we were going to get a little bit more
confirmation of what the mission accomplished, did we get any
more information about what it accomplished, So.
Speaker 12 (15:51):
There was no new evidence or intelligence. Yesterday, presented by
the Secretary of Defense feed HEGSEP or general pain that
indicates around nuclear program in fact destroyed. Cain said that
that determination is up to despite its agencies, and that
the military doesn't grade its own homework. Secretary Hegseth notably
continued to dismiss the early intelligence report from within the
(16:14):
Pentagon that sources say indicates the attack only set back
Around's nuclear program by a few months. Sources say that
that preliminary intelligence assessment from the Pentagon also indicates that
Iron had removed some of its near nuclear weapons grade
uranium before the US strike was carried out.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Okay, and I heard I heard somebody it might have
been the President say I don't think they got it out,
but we don't have any indication of whether it actually
was removed or where it might be.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
At this time, the.
Speaker 12 (16:44):
President on social media said nothing was taken out of
the facility. He said it would have taken too long
and it was too dangerous and very heavy and hard
to move. But again, sources tell us that the preliminary
intelligence assessment from this agency at the Pentagon indicates that
they removed at least some of it before the strike.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, and then that begs the question because I think
a lot of us now have seen the aerial photo
of all those trucks lined up outside one of the
nuclear facilities leading up to the attacks, and what were
those trucks for?
Speaker 12 (17:16):
So they didn't say exactly.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
So many questions. ABC's Karen Travers, thank you for answering
some of them.
Speaker 14 (17:24):
I have a great day, all right you.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Two officials have released details about how a teenage soccer
player from North Hollywood died earlier this year.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
The body of thirteen year old Oscar Omar Hernandez was
found in a ditch earlier this year in Ventura County.
The Medical Examiner's office is now saying that he died
from alcohol poisoning. A forty three year old soccer coach
who had already been under investigation for two other alleged
sexual assaults, has been charged with murdering the boy. Jason
Campedonia KFI News.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
A fifty nine year old man in Irvine's been charged
with sexually assaulting two teenage girls that he is related to.
Richard Lamox is facing several felonies for assaulting the girls,
who are fourteen or fifteen. The assaults apparently happened in
January and June, Lamox did not enter a plea.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
He's scheduled to be arraigned July twenty fourth.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
California's recent hate crime report shows an increase of almost
three percent from twenty twenty three to twenty four.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
There were just over two thousand reported incidents last year.
Despite the rise, the numbers remain lower than a peak
in twenty twenty two. Most hate crimes are racially motivated,
particularly against the Black community, which accounted for nearly a
quarter of reported cases in the state in twenty twenty four.
There were also rises in hate crimes targeting Jewish, Latino,
and LGBTQ plus people, with a significant increase of over
(18:42):
two hundred percent for Jewish and transgender people over the
past decade. Hate crimes against the Asian community have decreased
for the third consecutive year. Mark Ronner KFI News Ela.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Kenny Sheriff's homicide detectives say the shooting and killing of
a man in the Florence Graham neighborhood of South la
could have been part of a carjacking. Deputies from the
department Century City Station were called out late last night
to Compton Avenue and East ninetieth Street, where they found
the man.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
He died at the scene.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Faster EV chargers are coming to Costco membership only.
Speaker 11 (19:16):
Big Bucks Warehouse store has installed supercharger stalls at six locations,
including its store in Northport, Florida. The company electric Era,
founded by former SpaceX engineers, is looking to help solve
the electric vehicle charging infrastructure problem in America with its
Level three charging stalls. Those can recharge a battery up
to eighty percent and twenty minutes to an hour. That's
(19:36):
just enough time to pop into the Costco, buy more
stuff than you need, and return to your EV ride
with a full tank or battery. Level one chargers take
eleven to twenty hours to recharge, and Level twos take
six to eight hours. Michael Krozier KFI News.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Okay, so we were just talking to Karen Travers about
how the US executed its attack on Iran nuclear facilities
and including that one that was buried deep inside the mountain.
The US dropped bunker busters down air shafts at the facility.
Speaker 8 (20:06):
Oh that's very teams bondy.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
No, but I do think it sounds familiar.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Oh, I knew I'd heard of that before.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
So remember the rebellion shot its little laser bombs or
photon bombs down a thermal exhaust port to destroy the
Death Star.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Your ports will not be easy. You're required to maneuver
straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point.
The target area is only two meters wide. It's a
small thermal exhaust port right below the main port. The
shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit
(20:47):
will start a chain reaction, which should destroy the station.
Only a precise hit will set up a chain reaction.
The shaft is ratiated, so you'll have to use proton torpedoes.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
That's impossible for a.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Computer, that's not impossible.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Haste Bullseye womp rats in my T sixteen back home.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
They're not much going to tim Rats.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
They're nine your ships and may the Force be with you.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Another case of life imitating art.
Speaker 14 (21:13):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Bell Gardens has canceled its fourth of July firework show
because of ongoing ice operations. The city made the announcement
on Instagram, saying all scheduled events in the city have
been called off through July tenth because of concerns over
federal immigration enforcement. Ninety six percent of the thirty nine
thousand people who live in Bell Gardens are Hispanic. Huntington
Park and Katahey have also canceled their Fourth of July celebrations.
(21:38):
A grand jury report issued today concludes or.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
That has been issued.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
I guess it was issued yesterday, concluded that Orange County
officials should do more to combat hate crimes. It also
questioned why the agency overseeing data collection was missing information
from coast to Mesa Garden Grove, Orange and Westminster. The
number of hate crimes reported in OC actually went down
from one hundred twelve in two thousand and two to
ninety five in twenty twenty three. A fire burning near
(22:04):
the Tchikida Canyon landfill has charged about thirty seven acres.
It's ninety percent surrounded. The fire, west of the five
and just south of Valverdi, broke out yesterday afternoon. Let's
say good morning to the host of home on KFI.
The house whisper it's Dean sharp morning, Dean morning, aian.
So recent reports are showing that a lot more people
(22:24):
are renting now rather than buying, and even people with
a lot of money are choosing to rent rather than buy.
So I thought, maybe you know, we do a little
home therapy apartment therapy, and find out some ways to
make a rental feel more like a home, knowing that
you can't replace the cabinets and knock.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Down walls exactly.
Speaker 13 (22:45):
And a lot of people get discouraged because they think, well,
you know, I'm renting this place. It's an apartment, it's
a house, whatever the case may be. I just can't.
I can't really make it home. And that's so not true.
Home is where you live. You just have to take
a difference strategy. Of course, you're not going to be
knocking down well please don't not walk down knock on
(23:05):
walls in your rental house. But that doesn't mean that
you can't actually, you know, own the space for yourself.
Things like color coordinating a room is such a simple concept,
but once you've done it once, things like drapes and
carpet or rug areas and throw pillows are all working
(23:30):
off the same color palette. Man, that place becomes yours.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
And I've done some of these. You send a list
of all these pictures and ideas and I'm like, oh,
done that.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Oh wait, need to do that.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
And then you also said, along with colors, like lighting
can really help make your home feel more homey.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Oh, yeah, of course.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
You know.
Speaker 13 (23:52):
We live in the age now in the twenty first century,
a very very high tech wireless lighting control, right, thing
like smart lamps being able to control and to dim things.
Let's say you live in an apartment. You're like, there
are no dimmer switches in my apartment. That doesn't matter.
You don't have to rewire the place. There are smart
(24:14):
light dimmer controls that you can run down to the
hardware store and buy, take with you whenever you move,
plug them in into an outlet, hook them up to
your Wi Fi, and plug the lamp into that. And
all you have to do is say, Hey, I'm going
to avoid saying the name of the personal assistance so
it doesn't respond to me. Here, Hey, turn the lamp
(24:35):
down to ten percent, and boom, You've got dimmer control
over the lighting in a room and you have not
called an electrician to get that done.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
I love that, okay.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
And then one of the other things is like, I'm
sitting in my apartment, which I love and I've decorated,
but the walls are white. Is there anything you can
do without painting the walls?
Speaker 13 (24:54):
There are lots of things you can do without painting
the walls. There is removable static cling wallpaper these days,
which is fantastic. I mean static cling, not glue. It
doesn't leave a residue when it's done. There are sections
of wallpaper that you can put up. There are things
like magnetic refrigerator panels, pulling up drapes, creating drapes for
(25:19):
your windows. And you may think, wait, hey, I'm not
allowed to drill into the walls. They're quick hang no
drill curtain rod brackets out there now, which means that
they can rest right over the top of the window
and hold that curtain rod and you can have your
own drapes, your own curtains, your own aesthetics in the
room without making any permanent damage to walls or changes.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I love this, Okay, then one other one that I
like this idea too, just to personalize it. You're not
making any structural changes, but like just swapping out like
light switch plates or cabinet knobs and poles, you can
always put them back exactly.
Speaker 13 (25:57):
Cabinet knobs are just screwed onto the front of the
cabinet with a simple bolt from the backside of the
drawer or the door the same with the light switch plates.
You can customize them to have your own kind of
going on and again and take it with you. It's
a screwdriver. It's going to take you two minutes to
(26:17):
change these things out. You put the old ones in
a drawer. When you move out, you just swap them
back out again.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
I love this, And of course plants always help make
a home feel more homey, so that's a good idea.
And then I love this one, which I just did
it not too long ago. It's update your betting. But
I'm gonna have to do it again because my cat
likes to need and she's destroying my expensive duvet cover.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
But yeah, so many great ideas.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
So just because it's not your house, it doesn't mean
it can't be a home.
Speaker 13 (26:46):
Absolutely, you are the thing that makes your place your home.
And finding creative ways of getting you all around, whether
it's your color, whether it's your picture frames, whether it's
your stuff, that is what makes that place you.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
You're so wise.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
If you want to hear more wisdom from Dean Sharp,
you can listen to them tomorrow morning from six to
eight right here on KFI, or and or nine to
noon on Sunday it's home on KFI with our house
whisper Dean Sharp.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
You can also follow him at home with Dean. Thank you, Dean.
Speaker 13 (27:21):
Thanks Amy.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Time to get your business now with Bloomberg's Monica Rix,
who's in for Courtney again today.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
So, Monica, I'm.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
So excited to hear about this because there's so many
stores and Target's one of them, and I think my
CBS is one of them, and Walmart they're they're locking
up stuff because thefts are so high. But now Target's
testing some new tech to unlock the store shelves hopefully
make it a little faster.
Speaker 15 (27:48):
Yes, Target testing out new technology now to lock and
unlock those store shelves from a smartphone. So once they
have that in place, it's going to help staff to
unlock those plastic cases a lot quicker than manually opening
them with keys.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
The weight time maybe a.
Speaker 15 (28:03):
Little bit shorter as well, just because they'll have more
time to get from point A to point B in
this tour. So the retailer obviously says it's an effort
to curb theft, but it also says that it could
improve your shopping experience because of that. Walmart tested a
similar tool at some of its locations last year and
are they still using it. I'm not quite sure if
it really took off, but we just know that they
(28:25):
were testing it and so we'll see. Well, they still
need staff to do it, which, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
It's frustrating. I get it.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
It's you know, it's it's the reality that we live in.
When it's time for concerts and you want to see
a show, there's a new king and Queen.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 15 (28:44):
Kendrick Lamar and Sizza's Grand National Tour is now the
highest grossing co headline tour in history. They officially beat
Beyonce and jay Z, who'd held that title since twenty eighteen.
Billboard saying the k dot and says A generated two
hundred and fifty six point four million dollars, sold more
than a million tickets at twenty three shows, including those
(29:05):
shows at SOFI and State Farm Stadiums in La last month.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Okay, okay, And if you love horror, is this that
Universal in Florida so attraction?
Speaker 6 (29:17):
No, Well, let me explain Universal.
Speaker 15 (29:20):
Hollywood obviously has Halloween Horror Nights that's going to start
September fourth, and the one in Orlando is going to
start a little bit earlier, but Universal just announced that
it's set to open another year round immersive horror experience.
It's called Horror Unleashed and it's going to open up
in Chicago and this would be the second of its kind.
(29:40):
The first one is going to open up in Las
Vegas in August. So if you don't want to wait
till horror nights, maybe want to get your horror fixed
a little bit early, head on down to Vegas in
August because they're going to have four haunted houses in
that attraction with other entertainment included live horror experiences.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
Not for me, but I think a lot of people
would enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, why only be scared at Halloween. And one last thing,
Zoomba Cruises are back.
Speaker 15 (30:06):
Oh yeah, start stretching, get that hip mobility going because
the Zoomba Cruise will set sail again next year after
a seven year hiatus.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
They took a little bit of a pause.
Speaker 15 (30:16):
But Norwegian says that the five day fitness cruise is
going to depart from Miami and head to Cozumel, Mexico
in March. They're going to be able to accommodate about
twenty three hundred guests. And if you're interested, it'll cost
about twelve hundred bucks a person.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
You pay a lot more money to work out instead
of just sitting there and eating and drinking on the
cruise like you're supposed to. Okay, that's in your business
with Bloomberg's Monika Rix. Thanks Monica, appreciate it, Thank you
all right, Good weekend. Today's the deadline for the City
of La to turn over protest related documents to Congress.
A Congressional committee has launched an investigation into how Governor
(30:53):
Newsom and La Mayor Bass handled the anti Ice demonstrations.
Chair James Comer claims LA was not able to stop
protesters from getting violent and looting. Senate Democrats and Republicans
area received classified briefings on the US air strikes against
Iranian nuclear sites. Arkansas Republican Tom Cotton says the attacks.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Were an extraordinary success.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Connecticut Democrat Chris Murray or Murphy rather, says from what
he's seen, the Iran nuclear program was damaged, but not obliterated,
as the President claims. The Getty Villa, which has been
closed since the fire in Pacific Palisades in January's reopening
today with a new exhibit. The villa will be open
on a limited schedule Monday from ten to five or
(31:40):
through Monday from ten am to five pm. It's limited
to limit the amount of traffic on PCH. We're just
minutes away from Handle. On the news this morning, the
Supreme Court has six decisions left and those are expected
to come down today.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Right now, say good morning to ABC's.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Multi platform reporter Will gans Bill. It's blockbuster time. You
might want to raise the theaters.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Huh, that's right, and you'll see plenty of Brad Pitt
on the big screen.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
It's always a good day, right.
Speaker 4 (32:12):
That's what I'm saying, Like, what else do you really need?
And if you add in a score from Hans Zimmer,
direction from the guy who did Top Gun Maverick, I
mean it has all the trappings of a perfect summer movie,
and audiences are definitely feeling that way leaving this movie.
F one. It is about, you know, of course, Formula
one racers and Brad Pitt plays sort of washed up,
(32:34):
you know, could have been amazing driver who joins a
team that needs a little help. And is it a
little bit predictable? Probably? But will it have it have
you on the edge of your seat. Definitely. You know,
I am not an F one fan, but this movie
was wildly entertaining to me. So I think it's a
ton of fun if anyone's looking for something to see
(32:55):
in the theaters this weekend.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
It sounds to me like Top Gun Maverick in a car.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
Yeah. I think that's pretty much exactly correct. You know,
it's like it's same, sounds similarly like you you know,
I'm not a fighter pilot, but I was in the
cockpit with Tom Cruise for you know, Top Gun Maverick.
So yeah, you know, like it's like that's how it feels.
It feels like, you know, suddenly you're there with them,
and it's it's an action packed adventure.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Sounds like fun, and it's getting good reviews. I Rotten
Tomatoes is all over it.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Yes, yes, I mean the audience scores like ninety seven percent,
which is crazy. Critics scores a little bit lower than that,
but you know that's okay.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
It's a summer blockbuster, so if critics hated, I probably
love it anyway.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
It's usually how it goes right yep.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Okay, So if you're not going to movie theaters and
you want to do the couch thing like, which I
am known for doing.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
Uh, I didn't even know there was a new season
for squid Game.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Yeah, and it's the last one. So you know, squid
Game was initially supposed to be a movie. Then they
released it as a series of television, and then it
shattered like every record in the world on Netflix. Yeah,
so they were like, Okay, guess we'll do it season
two and a season three. So this is the final
season and it is, you know, in line with the
first two. It is. If you're squeamish or don't like
(34:14):
to feel stressed out, this is not the show for you.
But every episode is now streaming on Netflix. So if
you want to stay in and finish that series, this
is a good weekend for that.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Okay, So it's not half the season like Netflix sometimes does,
it's the whole season.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Correct, correct. Yeah, come December, November and December. They've split
Stranger Things final season. There's like three different drops for that.
But no, this is all of it at once.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
Okay, I know.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
What I'm doing this weekend, and then I'm very excited
about this too, because I love the show.
Speaker 5 (34:45):
Christine Baranski Cynthia Nixon.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
Are back oh my gosh, yes, to name a few,
Carrie Koon, Audra McDonald. The list goes on. The Gilded
Age is back on HBO Max. And this is like
I included it today, particularly because of how opposite it
is from Squid Game. Like the Gilded Age is beautiful,
and the costumes and the acting and the pacing is
(35:10):
just like elegant and you know, wonderful. It's still dramatic,
it'll still keep your interest, but you know it's about
the new money versus old money sort of New York
City scene at the turn of the century, and it's
just yeah, it's just wonderful, and the stakes are high again.
This is season three of that show. And you know
when HBO puts something out on a Sunday night, that
(35:31):
is their cue to be like, this is going to
be great because that's where we have like White Lotus
