App k f I and KOST HD two Los Angeles,
Orange County.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
How about you for wake up.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Call, your host Amy Kay.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
It is five o'clock, straight up, good morning. This is
your wake up call for Friday, August first July.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
You're out of here. We're on the downslide now.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
Kids are going to go back to school pretty soon now,
are they starting like mid August or something? Yeah, and
you know that we're on the downslide this summer because
football season's back. How about them Chargers jolting the Lions
thirty four to seven last night in preseason action. Did
you see that the President signed his order or made
(01:06):
a declaration or whatever yesterday and said we're bringing the
Presidential Fitness Test back.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I remember that growing up.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I remember it too.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
I remember that I never got the I never won
it or got the patch or whatever it was, because
I couldn't well.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
There were two things.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
One is I could never do a pull up, so
I think they they changed it though. It's just like
a oh, I couldn't even do the hang thing. You
just had to hang there with your chin above the bar,
and I don't. I just never had the arm strength,
so I never did that. And I and I couldn't run.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Well we had and they had the running long jump too.
I was bad at that part of the fitness part
of it too.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah, And I think I did okay, and I don't fly.
I thought it was a cool thing though for kids.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Oh yes, I think personally opinion, I don't think kids
these days get enough exercise, you think, I mean, yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
So anyway, he's bringing that back. I think that's kind
of cool. Also, it's an anniversary today. Oh ooh, what
could it be? Think about it for a minute. We'll
tell you before a wakeup call is done. Here's what's
ahead on wake up call. Tents have been cleared from
a large homeless camp along the four or five in
Van Uys. The operation is part of La Mayor Bause's
(02:21):
Inside Safe program to move homeless people into housing. Protesters
who tried to block city crews from getting into the
camp clashed with law enforcement. This is the same camp
where a large fire broke out last November. A nine
year old boy has been hit and killed by an
RV in Korea Town he was hit just before seven
thirty last night.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
A nineteen year old man was also heard. He's in
the hospital.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
The driver of the RV was taken into custody on
suspicion of dui. President Trump, as I mentioned, signed that
executive order. Not only did he put the presidential fitness
test back in place, but he has signed to an
executive order increasing tariffs on products from about seventy countries.
The new tariffs will go into effect next week. The
(03:03):
US has made deals with the EU, the UK, Japan,
South Korea, and other countries so far. Trump also announced
that tariff's on Canada will go up from twenty five
to thirty five percent starting today.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Okay, so you save up and you.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Spend a lot of money to go to concerts and
sporting events and other fun events. But you better be
careful because more and more people are unwittingly buying tickets
from scammers. ABC's Jim Ryan's going to join us with
another scam warning. Not everyone has big palatial homes. I'm
one of those people. Maybe you have a super small space.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Well.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
The host of Home Dean Sharp, is going to join
us to tell us ways to make the most of
the space that you do have, and I'm sure he's
going to have some great tips for you. Liam Neeson
gets naked and a cold case heats up on Netflix.
ABC's Willgan's going to join us before the top of
the hour to tell us about the latest and hopefully
the greatest on the big and the small screen. Let's
(03:59):
get started with some of the store he's coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Tents have been
cleared from a large homeless camp along the four or
five Freeway. Protesters clashed with police yesterday as crews showed
up to clear out people in tents. At least one
person was detained. Mayor Bass went out there after and
complained about those fighting to keep the homeless on the street.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
The idea that people would prefer to live in absolute
squalor like this.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
That's what I don't understand.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
But I think most people who advocate for maintaining these
conditions do not live like this.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
They're not sleeping here.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Bess says she wants to get more people into temporary
housing until something more long term is available. About two
hundred and fifty National Guard troops are staying in LA
after the latest draw down ordered by the Trump administration.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
The Pentagon spokesman says the remaining troops will be tasked
with guarding federal personnel and property. Over thirteen hundred troops
were released from the Federal Protection Mission Wednesday, weeks after
the National Guard was deployed to Los Angeles amid widespread
anti ice protest. LA Mayor Bass celebrated the withdrawal in
a post on x Wednesday night, but said officials will
continue to push for all of the troops to be withdrawn.
(05:06):
Mark Ronner KFI news Ellie.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
County Sheriff's deputies have shot a person in Hacienda Heights.
It's not clear why the shooting happened yesterday afternoon near
William Steinmetz Park. Deputies treated the man until paramedic Scott
there and took him to the hospital. California has added
two new fire Hawk helicopters to the state's firefighting fleet.
Governor Newsom says the state's firefighting capabilities are tops in
the world.
Speaker 9 (05:28):
There's simply no jurisdiction in the world that has more
assets that bear more aerial assets than the state of California.
We've made bold commitments over the course the last many
many years, and we're delivering on those commitments.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
CalFire has sixteen Firehawk helicopters, now equipped with large water tanks,
night vision and rescue gear. They can carry a crew
of up to nine. Eight fire Hawks helped fight wildfires
in La County in January. It's five oh seven on
your Friday morning wake up call. Let's say good morning
now to ABC's Jim Ryan. Oh excuse me, I said,
(06:04):
clear my throat. I thought I turned off my microphone.
I guess not, Hi, Jim, Hi, Okay, So well, a
lot of us go into concerts these days, and we're
spending a pretty penny on a lot of these shows.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Oh yes, and when you.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Do the show, the bigger the name, the bigger the cost.
Speaker 10 (06:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
And when you just got to get that hot ticket,
you might have to pay a lot, but you better
be careful.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Better watch out as with anything, yeah, because the stammers
are out there. A great, perfect example of woman in
New York State. Her daughters wanted to go see the
Billie Eilish concert on Long Island, right, huge star Billie Eilish,
And so the woman went to Ticketmaster. Ticket Master says, sorry,
we're sold out, but her daughters saw somebody on TikTok
(06:50):
who was selling some tickets, so they went on to
TikTok and they contacted this woman. The mom ended up
paying three hundred and eighty dollars through Apple pay for
these tickets that simply didn't exist. The seller vanished, the
TikTok went away, and the money was gone too. She
paid with Apple Pay, which essentially means that the money
(07:12):
has vanished, right if you use a credit because she
was she thought about using a credit card, but the
seller wouldn't accept that. She wanted Apple Pay and was
vehement about it. Apple Pie, Apple Pay or zell right,
I mean, and those are direct links into your account,
and so once you pay, you pay and it's gone.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
So the safety measure here that you could put in
place is not to pay that way, like only pay
with a credit card, because if there's credit card fraud,
you can challenge it.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yes, and too, by the way, maybe not buy your
tickets from TikTok.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
So, well, there's that that should be the first red flag.
I should have started with him, yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Or Craigslist or Facebook, Marketplace or some other seller like that. Then,
So let's say you do go to Ticketmaster by the way,
also make sure that you're on ticketmaster that begins with
http s and ends with that little lock symbol on
the address bar, because that way you'll know that it's
a legitimate site. That's the other way that they're spoofing
people is setting up fake websites and collecting payment for
(08:12):
events that that you know, or for tickets that didn't exist.
But there's also the fake event out there too. Great
example of that this poor guy in North Carolina, huge
Bridgeton fan.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Okay, I love Bridgerton.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Okay, So if somebody said, hey, Amy, there's a Bridgeton
event happening in Anaheim. There's a big house down there,
looks like it looks like a castle, and so for
two hundred dollars, you and a guest can come and
be at this big event. It's a ball and we'll
have dinner, et cetera, et cetera. This guy did that,
That's exactly what he did. He paid two hundred bucks,
went to the venue, big house, looks like a castle,
(08:48):
and there was a wedding going on, and.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
The I know, laugh at that.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
It's tragically but the pictures of the guys standing there
in his tuxedo you know, having lost two hundred bucks,
and then the property said, we don't know what you're
talking about. There's no Bridgerton event here, So be careful
of fake tickets, watch out for fake events.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Okay, so just as a as a you know, caveat empdoor,
let the buyer beware.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Let's just go through a couple of the things we
should be looking for that we've just talked about.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
One.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Tickets on TikTok. Yes, Craigslist not.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
A good list place to do it either way. It
used to be a great place to do stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Well, sure, and you know there's there's just this this
uh this anonymous anonymous link right that you're you're buying
from somebody you have no idea who it is. If
you know the person, If it's a friend of yours
and selling tickets and you absolutely are sure that you
have the right phone number or right zeal address, great
it'll work and they'll get the money immediately. But if
(09:49):
it's a stranger selling something on Craigslist, just watch out.
The other thing that this scam has that so many
others do is the sense of urgency. The poor woman
who you know, whose kids really wanted to see Billie Eilish,
the guy who really wanted to go to see this
Bridgerton event. They were pressured into it, and sure enough
they ended up losing.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Oh yeah, last tickets available, Oh selling out fast. Oh
don't wait, you might miss it. That's kind yeah, which.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Is really it's a tough thing because sometimes it's true.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
It's like when you're on an airline site and it's
there's only two seats left at this price.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Hopefully they're being legit, but you know, so that sense
of urgency also kind of pushes you a little bit right, right,
And that.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Holds true with any kind of scam, not just ticket scams.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Okay, so be careful because we want you to go
and enjoy those shows.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Caveat mtur Uh huh, all right.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Jim Ryan, thank you so much to you. There's a
scam for everything.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Nancy Pelosi may
have signaled who she's going to be backing for California's
next governor.
Speaker 11 (10:55):
In a recent interview, the former House Speaker said she
supports Lieutenant Governor Elenni A. Lacis, though it's unclear if
that was an official endorsement. Quinnelakis is the daughter of
a wealthy Sacramento developer and Democratic donor. She's expected to
be one of the most well funded candidates in the
twenty twenty sixth race. Pelosi's nod comes shortly after Kamala
Harris said she would not run, clearing the way for
other top Democrats to step forward. Brigita Augustineo kaaf I.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
News President Trump is going after pharmaceutical companies over the
high price of prescription drugs. White House spokesperson Caroline Levitt
says the US pays three times the price for drugs
compared to other countries, and President Trump is determined to
tackle the problem. The President has given companies a sixty
day deadline to bring prices down. China's cyberspace regulators are
(11:38):
demanding answers from Nvidia about its H.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Two O chips.
Speaker 12 (11:42):
Regulators claim the chips can be tracked and turned off remotely.
The meeting took place yesterday, with regulators demanding explanations and
materials from Nvidia. This comes two weeks after the US
lifted a block on the chips, allowing Nvidia to resume
sales in China. Concerns over chip tracking and security have
been raised by both Chinese regulators and US lawmakers.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
The sale of.
Speaker 12 (12:04):
Advanced chips to China remains banned by the US. Deborah

Speaker 1 (12:10):
The Medical Examiner in Clearwater, Floridas, his wrestling legend Hulk Hogan,
died of a heart attack. Hogan, whose real name is
Terry Bella, died last week at the age of seventy one.
A copy of his cremation report shows the cause of
death as acute myocardial infarction. It also shows that he
had a history of atrial fibrillation and chronic limb lymphosiitic leukemia.
(12:37):
Justin Timberlake has a good reason for being extra tired
during his shows.
Speaker 13 (12:44):
Timberlake just wrapped his Forget Tomorrow world tour and opened
up to fans about his personal health battle. In an
emotional Instagram post, the pop star revealed he's been living
with lime disease, which caused severe nerve pain and extreme
fatigue during his shows. Despite the diagnosis, Timberlake says he
pushed through the grueling two year tour, saying the joy
of performing outweighed the physical toll.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Heatherbrooker, that's so scary.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
I I thought you had to get like you had
to be in the forest now ticks and things.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
To get lime disease, you have to get bit by
an infected tick.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Okay, you don't.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Necessarily have to be in a forest though. But it's
a guy from high school I went to high school with.
He got lime disease and it just really really affects
your life and it kind of doesn't go away.
Speaker 10 (13:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
I don't know enough about it. I guess you can't
just pop a pill and.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
You could google it. Oh yeah, all right.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
California has added two new Firehawk helicopters to beef up
the states firefighting efforts. Califire now has sixteen fire Hawks
equipped with large water tanks, night vision and rescue gear.
The helicopters are positioned around several counties, including Placer, Lake, Humboldt, Lasson, Mendocino,
and Riverside. A seventh dog has died as a mystery
(14:02):
illness continues to sweep through Venice. The dog became violently
ill after a recent walk along the Venice Canals. Since
July sixth, several other dogs have gotten sick or died
after going for walks in the area. Symptoms have included vomiting, lethargy, seizures,
and sudden collapse.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Watch where you walk in the water. Stingray stings are
way up in Seal Beach.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Seal Beach Marine Safety Chief Joe Bailey says lifeguards usually
treat about one stingray sting per day, but recently it's
been about a dozen a day. Stingrays are bottom dwellers
and they usually sting people when they get stepped on.
At six oh five, it's handle on the news, another
late night Trump trade twist, just hours before the tariffs
(14:47):
were scheduled to go into effect.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
We'll be talking about that right now. Let's say good
morning to the host.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Of Home on KFI. It's are very own, Dean Sharp Dean.
We're talking small, Yes we are.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
That's a movie a reference. What's that from? Are you small?
I'm small? We're talkings?
Speaker 14 (15:05):
Oh my gosh, that is such an old movie reference.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I hesitate to admit that. I understand.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Oh you know what, I know what it is. It's
from Arthur.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Do you know that?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
That's one of the funniest movies of all time.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
I think it's a hilarious film.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Yes, absolutely, and not the remake, but the actual original.
I went back and watched it like two months ago,
and I just laughed and laughed.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Okay, anyway, let's talk small all.
Speaker 14 (15:33):
Right this weekend, actually Sunday Sunday Show, We're gonna be
talking about how to.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Make the most of small rooms.
Speaker 14 (15:41):
And I know, you know, people who followed design and
they think about, oh, renovating their homes and such. They
watch shows, and there are lots of spacious, lovely rooms
out there, but most of us have kind of medium
size to small rooms in our homes and not a
lot of solid advice.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
On what to do with those.
Speaker 14 (16:03):
Some people think, well, that's not the kind of room
that you really worry about, because great design is for,
you know, the big, gorgeous rooms. Not true, not true,
in fact, just the opposite. In so many ways, the
smaller place is the more important design matters, because every
inch counts, every inch counts. And I trust me when
(16:25):
I say this, because I I design a lot of
very big things for a lot of clients. And you know,
if you're you're in a ten thousand square of a house,
believe me, we don't have to you know, lose sleep
over whether the hall is seven or eight feet wide, right,
but the you can just waste.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
A lot of space in a place like that.
Speaker 14 (16:47):
But you know a place like an RV, all right,
And we're not talking about RVs per se, but RVs
are such a great example a recreational vehicle. Talk about
every inch counting about everything that's been put into that space.
So the lesson is small spaces are sometimes the most
difficult to design well. And we want to give you
(17:08):
every edge up we can on Sunday.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Okay, so let's do and you're going to spend the
whole show talking about all these tipspit, let's just hit
a couple of them.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Okay.
Speaker 14 (17:19):
So first of all, and you and I have talked
about this before in a lot of different contexts, but
you got to start with purging the clutter. Because rooms,
especially a small room, they need a focal point.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
They need a thing that I call hierarchy.
Speaker 14 (17:33):
In other words, you need to be able to quickly
identify where you're supposed to look and at what. And
a small space with just a few too many things
in it can get cluttery and it just feels like
I just don't want to go in there. I don't
know what's going on in there, I don't know where
to look, I don't feel comfortable. So purging the clutter
really really important. The color that we're ultimately going to
(17:58):
make the place very important. Lighter colors recede away from you.
In other words, colors in the blue tones tend a
room emotionally more spacious. Now I say that as if
you're like really dean the mood of a color. Yeah,
it's true. So blues tend to move away from us,
(18:20):
and they make spaces larger. Warmer colors, darker colors kind
of come at you and they make the places more intimate.
And so when it comes to a smaller room, we're
probably leaning toward blues and lighter colors. If there's a
chance to bring light in from the outside, then by
(18:41):
all means, let's do it. Glass, glass and more glass,
and things like something as simple as a nice mirror
in a room, which you know, can double the size
of the space because it looks like you're looking out
a window into another connected space. And also mirrors recycle light.
Literally they take light, bounce it off up, keeps it
(19:01):
in the room longer. Things like that.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, all kinds of great stuff.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Okay, then you also said, so if it's I'm thinking
of bruntals. But if you're thinking because there's so many
small houses around LA, like if you get a twelve
hundred square foot house, it's a pretty small house, but
you can make the most of that space. And one
of the things you said is doors can be a
big factor.
Speaker 14 (19:24):
Doors can be a huge factor. First of all, door
swings are an issue. And if we're thinking about remodeling
the space, now is the time to think, do we
really want a door swinging into such a small space.
Maybe maybe a barn door, maybe a pocket door so
that we can open and close and have everything that
(19:45):
we want out of the door. But we avoid that
swing in because you know, when a door is open
in a small room, it's actually claiming for itself about
nine square feet of the space. Not the door itself,
but the path of travel in order to get it
from open to close has to be clear. And so
you know, and a door that's two and a half
(20:06):
feet wide takes up that much space on the wall
and so on. So it's one of those things where
starting right at the very very opening of the room,
we start thinking how can we save space?
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Okay, And then here's one that I am very fascinated by.
So apparently you're trying to make your eyes think the
space is bigger, and you can do that with curtains.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Curtains.
Speaker 14 (20:31):
Yeah, it's not that we're thinking that the space is
bigger per se. But what we want to do is
we want to get rid of queues that things are
just normal and low lying. So unfortunately, for most people
when they go thinking, oh, I'm going to go get curtains,
they go to the department store or the big box
store whatever, and you're not going to find the kind
(20:53):
of curtains that I'm talking about there, okay, because there
you're going to find curtains that are measured pre measured
to sit at regular window height, which is about eighty
inches off the floor, and the curtains just sit right
above the window. And everybody's thinking, well, yeah, that's where
curtains go, Dean, No, No, curtains, especially in a small room,
should run all the way up to the ceiling. All
(21:15):
the way up to the ceiling. So you got an
eight foot ceiling, which is by today's standards a low
ceiling for a room. We want those curtains running all
the way to the top. We want a nice big
vertical band of curtain and even a little pooling or
puddling on the floor. In other words, we want that
curtain just like a like a man's trouser on a
(21:38):
dress shoe, to actually hit the floor, not hang above
it and break a little bit on the floor. Very
very generous, and it gives us this sense with this
vertical column of a fabric that you know, we're just
thinking in terms of, oh, I love this vertical linear
line and it lifts the.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Ceiling of the room.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
I got to work on that pooling of the curtains
because I think I tried to do it, but it
just looks like a hot mess.
Speaker 14 (22:05):
Y're too long. Yeah, there's a trick to it. You
either pool or you puddle. Pooling means or breaking. I
should say either break or you puddle. Breaking just means
that you order the curtains about an inch to two
inches longer. That's all you've got, just so that they
break a little bit. Puddling is what most people tried
to do. That's an art form.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Yeah, Puddling is when you're four to six inches too long,
and if it's the wrong kind of curtain. It's just
gonna look wrong.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Well that's wrong.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Yeah, okay, so that's another thing that I can I've
got okay, clutter and the pool, my curtains, all right,
and we're gonna be talking about this all morning long
on Sunday from nine to noon with home or at
home with Dean Sharp. And then you also, of course,
are on from six to eight tomorrow morning. It's a
whole weekend of Dean there it is. I love it, okay,
(22:55):
Dean Sharp. You can also follow him at home with Dean.
Thank you so much. I love these two.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Thanks Amy.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
I'm going to go clutter my wall and put them
up on my wall. Perfection, all right, thanks Stein. I
love our talks because he always has such good things,
and it's I think it's fun too. When you listen,
you go, oh, I'm doing that, yay, and then you
can kind of pat yourself on the back and then
you go, oh, I'm also doing that. I need to
work on that one. A federal judge in San Francisco
(23:21):
has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting thousands of
immigrants in the US who have temporary protected status.
Speaker 15 (23:29):
The ruling effects more than sixty thousand people from Honduras, Nepal,
and Nicaragua who are set to lose their protected status
in the coming weeks. Now, they have at least until
November eighteenth, when a hearing is scheduled on a lawsuit
challenging the Trump administration's move. The program offers temporary protections
for immigrants from countries impacted by natural disasters and armed conflict,
(23:49):

Speaker 1 (30:37):
I love hearing those stories. Bring back those salmons.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
Time to get in your business now with Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe.
Morning Courtney, Good morning, busy day here on Wall Street.
I know, well, we've been waiting for this one all week,
and the jobs report just.
Speaker 20 (30:52):
Got released, Yes, and it was a big miss, showing
labor growth has cooled over the past three months. This
is the first weeker than four test payrolls number in
five months, so this is a first miss we've seen.
So the big question that we're figuring out right now
is the labor market shifting into a lower gear. So
payrolls increase seventy three thousand, the unemployment rate ticking high
(31:14):
are four point two percent. So not only is job
growth cooling down and unemployment rising, it's a lot harder
for unemployed Americans to get a job, and we are
seeing some pressure on the markets as a result. SMP
futures are down forty six points down, futures falling two
hundred and ninety.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Oh, okay, could be a rough day on Wall Street.
Speaker 20 (31:35):
Yeah, and it's definitely going to be evaluated more by
the federerserve because policymakers voted to leave interest rates unchanged
earlier this week, so this is something that they're going
to be looking into more closely.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Would this push tend to push toward an interest rate
reduction because it looks like things are cooling down.
Speaker 20 (31:53):
If we continue to see this pattern, most likely that's
going to be the case where the federerserve will step
in and then because they have a prong mandate, first
with the labor market, second with inflation, so they have
to make sure both are humming along aokay, okay, okay.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
So hotels have it, airlines have it, and now Airbnb
is looking at it.
Speaker 20 (32:13):
Yes, they're thinking about rolling out a loyalty program. So
the company said the launch of its Experiences and Services
business is putting the home sharing platform in a better
position to reward customers. Back in May, Airbnb they revamped
their inventory of tours and travel activities. They introduced a
bunch of add on services such as hiring a private chef,
(32:34):
hiring what a private chef, You can hire a trainer,
you can do all these things. So a lot of
services coming to your Airbnb kind of like a hotel
in a way.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
I like it.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
Okay, that's cool. I don't do Airbnb much. I like
people to make my bed every day. I agree with
you on that one. Americans are spending a lot of
time thinking about money.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
How many hours a day do we do that?
Speaker 20 (32:57):
About four hours a day, So if you put an
in person infective, that's the same amount of time as
a part time job. That's according to report from financial
services firm Empower. And actually, when you put it in
perspective here, we spend more time thinking about money in
a day than we do preparing meals and exercising combined.
So yeah, they say half of those surveyed by Empowers
(33:18):
say they think about money more often than they did
last year.
Speaker 5 (33:20):
If we were smart, we would think about money while
we're exercising and while we're cooking.
Speaker 20 (33:26):
Yes, being more efficient there, but about a third revealed
that money issues keep them up at night, so a
lot of people are thinking about it when they should
be sleeping.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I'm guilty of that. Best by teaming
up with another retailer trying to boost its sales.
Speaker 20 (33:41):
Yes, they're getting ready to test special sections in its
stores dedicated to Ikea My Base. The pilot aims to
make it easier for customers to integrate best Buy appliances
into Ikea design kitchens and laundry rooms. This is going
to mark the first time ike is offering services and
products at another retailer.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
Okay, so it's going to be ike at best Buy,
not best Buy at Ikea, or might they do a swapper.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Room Ikea at best Buy.
Speaker 20 (34:04):
So, and the reason is sales at best Buy have
declined in the last three years. So we saw a
huge spending surge on electronics during the pandemic. All that changed,
So they say, how are we going to get people
into the stores? And there's not a lot of Ikea
stores out there, so this is another way for Ikea
to get on the radar. So the initiative that's going
to begin in the fall, and it's going to start
(34:25):
with ten stores in Florida and Texas and then expand.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Out if it works out. I love that.
Speaker 5 (34:30):

say good morning to ABC's multi platform reporter Willgans.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Will. We got Liam Neeson getting.
Speaker 10 (35:49):
Naked, yes, or at least the gun is getting naked.
He's doing a lot in this movie, and it's all
very hilarious. Also, happy anniversary to your anniversary to you, Amy,
that's very exciting. So if you want to celebrate with
a trip to the movie theater, The Naked Gun is
in theaters this weekend, and it's like one of those
ones that reminds you how fun it can be to
(36:10):
be in a movie theater full of people laughing their
heads off, like it's yeah, it's just it's so silly
and ridiculous and stupid and hilarious. And for fans of
the original Naked Gun movies, there are some callbacks and
you know, repeated jokes and things like that, but it's flapstick.
And it's also fun to see Liam Neeson basically making
(36:32):
fun of every movie he's ever been and you know,
you know, he's so we are so used to him
playing this like very serious, macho, you know, crime fighting guy,
and here he is, like dressed up like a schoolgirl
doing the same thing. You know, it's like it's very ridiculous.
And then Pam Anderson is in it and places love
interest and their chemistry is very palpable on screen.
Speaker 14 (36:54):
And now we're maybe finding out that.
Speaker 10 (36:56):
Off screen it's just as palpable. So Naked Gun is
a lot of fine.
Speaker 11 (37:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (37:00):
I mean, so people mag is reporting that they are
actually dating, and you know, if you saw any of
their their publicity like tour appearances, I don't know. I
think there might be a little something going on there,
which I sort of love. I think that they're a
good match.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
I think that's fun.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
Okay, So this movie, Naked Gun us it sounds like
we're talking about Happy Gilmore too as far as the
kind of the vibe of the movie. But this one
is a remake where Gilmore is a sequel, right.
Speaker 10 (37:32):
This, well, this one. It's sort of like a reboot.
I guess so's he's not playing the same character that
Leslie Nielsen played in the original ones. He's actually playing
his son. So it's like, you know, but not not
In Happy Gilmore, we were seeing like flashbacks from the
(37:52):
first movie. That's not the same here. But there are
just like jokes that seem familiar and things like that,
situations that you're like, oh my god, I remember this
from the first movie or whatever.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Okay, so laugh out loud fun in the theater. So
I love that.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
Okay, So this is not a laugh out loud kind
of movie or show. I've seen it as I've been
scrolling around on the stream, but I haven't clicked on
it yet.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
It's called Untamed.
Speaker 10 (38:17):
Yes, So this is about a park ranger who's trying
to solve a murder. In the very like opening scene
of the show, these two guys are climbing this mountain
in Yosemite National Park and a body comes tumbling off
the top and gets tangled up in their climbing gear.
So that's how it does. And then yeah, yeah, and
(38:37):
then the next six episodes are trying to figure out
who she was, who killed or how she died all
of that stuff, So it's you know, there there's some
like formulaic elements to play here. You know, the guy
who's solving it has like a little bit of a
drinking problem, and he's like a grizzled, you know, older investigator,
and he's partnered with a young a younger investigator from
(38:59):
Lots Angelus who's trying to help him out. And you know,
so it's sort of like if Law and Order was
set in a National park. The scenery is stunning and beautiful,
and all of the characters have a little bit of
like darker histories as well, even the cops. So the
thing with this too is that Netflix just renewed it
for a second season. So sometimes when that happens, I'm like, okay,
(39:21):
I need to pay attention to this because it seems like,
you know, the teams behind it are seeing a future
with it. It has legs and all of those things.
So it's good. It's you know, if you like those
sort of procedural type of shows, it's it's a good one, okay.
Speaker 5 (39:35):
And then there's a new docu series you love, a
good docuseries called Amy Bradley is Missing.
Speaker 10 (39:44):
Yes, so This is about a young lady who went
missing on a cruise ship in the nineties. And it's
coming up on the thirtieth anniversary of the case. And
so it's a three part docuseries and there's you know,
new interviews and new footage and things like that about
what might have happened to this woman on this cruise.
So she was out late one night, she came back
(40:05):
to her room and then her dad woke up and
realized she isn't in the cabin anymore, and and so,
you know, he alerts the staff and they don't. You know,
it's sort of like did they do enough? Did they
not do enough? And then people say they saw her
in curis out anyway. It's just like it's fascinating and
everyone I know who has watched it we have not
(40:25):
stopped talking about it. It's like, what do you think happened?
Speaker 4 (40:28):
Where do you think she is? This type of thing.
Speaker 10 (40:30):
So, and it's only three episodes, so it's very easy
to get through in a weekend.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
Okay, Amy Bradley is missing, and that's on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (40:37):
Netflix.
Speaker 1 (40:38):

been hearing about. Residents had sent a letter to Bass
with a list of demands to keep their community safe.
Bass told residents last night the city has intensified its
crime suppression strategy.
Speaker 7 (41:29):
There does need to be a long range plan on
a long range strategy, which is why the crime center.
The use of technology, upgrading where we are is something
to me that is a part of that long range plan.
Speaker 5 (41:44):
One woman complained about not being able to get a
hold of police after a break in at her house.
The mayor said the city has a severe shortage of
police operators and is in the process of hiring. UCLA

Speaker 4 (01:11):
I remember that growing up.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I remember it too.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
I remember that I never got the I never won
it or got the patch or whatever it was, because
I couldn't well.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
There were two things.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
One is I could never do a pull up, so
I think they they changed it though. It's just like
a oh, I couldn't even do the hang thing. You
just had to hang there with your chin above the bar,
and I don't. I just never had the arm strength,
so I never did that. And I and I couldn't run.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Well we had and they had the running long jump too.
I was bad at that part of the fitness part
of it too.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah, And I think I did okay, and I don't fly.
I thought it was a cool thing though for kids.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Oh yes, I think personally opinion, I don't think kids
these days get enough exercise, you think, I mean, yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
So anyway, he's bringing that back. I think that's kind
of cool. Also, it's an anniversary today. Oh ooh, what
could it be? Think about it for a minute. We'll
tell you before a wakeup call is done. Here's what's
ahead on wake up call. Tents have been cleared from
a large homeless camp along the four or five in
Van Uys. The operation is part of La Mayor Bause's
(02:21):
Inside Safe program to move homeless people into housing. Protesters
who tried to block city crews from getting into the
camp clashed with law enforcement. This is the same camp
where a large fire broke out last November. A nine
year old boy has been hit and killed by an
RV in Korea Town he was hit just before seven
thirty last night.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
A nineteen year old man was also heard. He's in
the hospital.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
The driver of the RV was taken into custody on
suspicion of dui. President Trump, as I mentioned, signed that
executive order. Not only did he put the presidential fitness
test back in place, but he has signed to an
executive order increasing tariffs on products from about seventy countries.
The new tariffs will go into effect next week. The

US has made deals with the EU, the UK, Japan,
South Korea, and other countries so far. Trump also announced
that tariff's on Canada will go up from twenty five
to thirty five percent starting today.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Okay, so you save up and you.

Spend a lot of money to go to concerts and
sporting events and other fun events. But you better be
careful because more and more people are unwittingly buying tickets

(03:59):
get started with some of the store he's coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Tents have been
cleared from a large homeless camp along the four or
five Freeway. Protesters clashed with police yesterday as crews showed
up to clear out people in tents. At least one
person was detained. Mayor Bass went out there after and
complained about those fighting to keep the homeless on the street.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
The idea that people would prefer to live in absolute
squalor like this.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
That's what I don't understand.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
But I think most people who advocate for maintaining these
conditions do not live like this.

two new fire Hawk helicopters to the state's firefighting fleet.
Governor Newsom says the state's firefighting capabilities are tops in
the world.
Speaker 9 (05:28):
There's simply no jurisdiction in the world that has more
assets that bear more aerial assets than the state of California.
We've made bold commitments over the course the last many
many years, and we're delivering on those commitments.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
CalFire has sixteen Firehawk helicopters, now equipped with large water tanks,
night vision and rescue gear. They can carry a crew
of up to nine. Eight fire Hawks helped fight wildfires
in La County in January. It's five oh seven on
your Friday morning wake up call. Let's say good morning
now to ABC's Jim Ryan. Oh excuse me, I said,
(06:04):
clear my throat. I thought I turned off my microphone.
I guess not, Hi, Jim, Hi, Okay, So well, a
lot of us go into concerts these days, and we're
spending a pretty penny on a lot of these shows.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Oh yes, and when you.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Do the show, the bigger the name, the bigger the cost.
Speaker 10 (06:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
And when you just got to get that hot ticket,
you might have to pay a lot, but you better
be careful.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Better watch out as with anything, yeah, because the stammers
are out there. A great, perfect example of woman in
New York State. Her daughters wanted to go see the
Billie Eilish concert on Long Island, right, huge star Billie Eilish,
And so the woman went to Ticketmaster. Ticket Master says, sorry,
we're sold out, but her daughters saw somebody on TikTok
(06:50):
who was selling some tickets, so they went on to
TikTok and they contacted this woman. The mom ended up
paying three hundred and eighty dollars through Apple pay for
these tickets that simply didn't exist. The seller vanished, the
TikTok went away, and the money was gone too. She
paid with Apple Pay, which essentially means that the money
(07:12):
has vanished, right if you use a credit because she
was she thought about using a credit card, but the
seller wouldn't accept that. She wanted Apple Pay and was
vehement about it. Apple Pie, Apple Pay or zell right,
I mean, and those are direct links into your account,
and so once you pay, you pay and it's gone.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
So the safety measure here that you could put in
place is not to pay that way, like only pay
with a credit card, because if there's credit card fraud,
you can challenge it.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Yes, and too, by the way, maybe not buy your
tickets from TikTok.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
So, well, there's that that should be the first red flag.
I should have started with him, yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Or Craigslist or Facebook, Marketplace or some other seller like that. Then,
So let's say you do go to Ticketmaster by the way,
also make sure that you're on ticketmaster that begins with
http s and ends with that little lock symbol on
the address bar, because that way you'll know that it's
a legitimate site. That's the other way that they're spoofing
people is setting up fake websites and collecting payment for
(08:12):
events that that you know, or for tickets that didn't exist.
But there's also the fake event out there too. Great
example of that this poor guy in North Carolina, huge
Bridgeton fan.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Okay, I love Bridgerton.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Okay, So if somebody said, hey, Amy, there's a Bridgeton
event happening in Anaheim. There's a big house down there,
looks like it looks like a castle, and so for
two hundred dollars, you and a guest can come and
be at this big event. It's a ball and we'll
have dinner, et cetera, et cetera. This guy did that,
That's exactly what he did. He paid two hundred bucks,
went to the venue, big house, looks like a castle,
(08:48):
and there was a wedding going on, and.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
The I know, laugh at that.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
It's tragically but the pictures of the guys standing there
in his tuxedo you know, having lost two hundred bucks,
and then the property said, we don't know what you're
talking about. There's no Bridgerton event here, So be careful
of fake tickets, watch out for fake events.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
Okay, so just as a as a you know, caveat empdoor,
let the buyer beware.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Let's just go through a couple of the things we
should be looking for that we've just talked about.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
One.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Tickets on TikTok. Yes, Craigslist not.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
A good list place to do it either way. It
used to be a great place to do stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Well, sure, and you know there's there's just this this
uh this anonymous anonymous link right that you're you're buying
from somebody you have no idea who it is. If
you know the person, If it's a friend of yours
and selling tickets and you absolutely are sure that you
have the right phone number or right zeal address, great
it'll work and they'll get the money immediately. But if
(09:49):
it's a stranger selling something on Craigslist, just watch out.
The other thing that this scam has that so many
others do is the sense of urgency. The poor woman
who you know, whose kids really wanted to see Billie Eilish,
the guy who really wanted to go to see this
Bridgerton event. They were pressured into it, and sure enough
they ended up losing.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
Oh yeah, last tickets available, Oh selling out fast. Oh
don't wait, you might miss it. That's kind yeah, which.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Is really it's a tough thing because sometimes it's true.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
It's like when you're on an airline site and it's
there's only two seats left at this price.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
Hopefully they're being legit, but you know, so that sense
of urgency also kind of pushes you a little bit right, right,
And that.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Holds true with any kind of scam, not just ticket scams.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Okay, so be careful because we want you to go
and enjoy those shows.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Caveat mtur Uh huh, all right.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Jim Ryan, thank you so much to you. There's a
scam for everything.

supports Lieutenant Governor Elenni A. Lacis, though it's unclear if
that was an official endorsement. Quinnelakis is the daughter of
a wealthy Sacramento developer and Democratic donor. She's expected to
be one of the most well funded candidates in the
twenty twenty sixth race. Pelosi's nod comes shortly after Kamala
Harris said she would not run, clearing the way for
other top Democrats to step forward. Brigita Augustineo kaaf I.

morning to the host.
Speaker 5 (14:52):

We're talking small, Yes we are.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
That's a movie a reference. What's that from? Are you small?
I'm small? We're talkings?
Speaker 14 (15:05):
Oh my gosh, that is such an old movie reference.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I hesitate to admit that. I understand.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Oh you know what, I know what it is. It's
from Arthur.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Do you know that?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
That's one of the funniest movies of all time.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
I think it's a hilarious film.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Yes, absolutely, and not the remake, but the actual original.
I went back and watched it like two months ago,
and I just laughed and laughed.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Okay, anyway, let's talk small all.
Speaker 14 (15:33):
Right this weekend, actually Sunday Sunday Show, We're gonna be
talking about how to.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Make the most of small rooms.
Speaker 14 (15:41):
And I know, you know, people who followed design and
they think about, oh, renovating their homes and such. They
watch shows, and there are lots of spacious, lovely rooms
out there, but most of us have kind of medium
size to small rooms in our homes and not a
lot of solid advice.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
On what to do with those.
Speaker 14 (16:03):
Some people think, well, that's not the kind of room
that you really worry about, because great design is for,
you know, the big, gorgeous rooms. Not true, not true,
in fact, just the opposite. In so many ways, the
smaller place is the more important design matters, because every
inch counts, every inch counts. And I trust me when
(16:25):
I say this, because I I design a lot of
very big things for a lot of clients. And you know,
if you're you're in a ten thousand square of a house,
believe me, we don't have to you know, lose sleep
over whether the hall is seven or eight feet wide, right,
but the you can just waste.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
A lot of space in a place like that.
Speaker 14 (16:47):
But you know a place like an RV, all right,
And we're not talking about RVs per se, but RVs
are such a great example a recreational vehicle. Talk about
every inch counting about everything that's been put into that space.
So the lesson is small spaces are sometimes the most
difficult to design well. And we want to give you
(17:08):
every edge up we can on Sunday.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Okay, so let's do and you're going to spend the
whole show talking about all these tipspit, let's just hit
a couple of them.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Okay.
Speaker 14 (17:19):
So first of all, and you and I have talked
about this before in a lot of different contexts, but
you got to start with purging the clutter. Because rooms,
especially a small room, they need a focal point.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
They need a thing that I call hierarchy.
Speaker 14 (17:33):
In other words, you need to be able to quickly
identify where you're supposed to look and at what. And
a small space with just a few too many things
in it can get cluttery and it just feels like
I just don't want to go in there. I don't
know what's going on in there, I don't know where
to look, I don't feel comfortable. So purging the clutter
really really important. The color that we're ultimately going to
(17:58):
make the place very important. Lighter colors recede away from you.
In other words, colors in the blue tones tend a
room emotionally more spacious. Now I say that as if
you're like really dean the mood of a color. Yeah,
it's true. So blues tend to move away from us,
(18:20):
and they make spaces larger. Warmer colors, darker colors kind
of come at you and they make the places more intimate.
And so when it comes to a smaller room, we're
probably leaning toward blues and lighter colors. If there's a
chance to bring light in from the outside, then by
(18:41):
all means, let's do it. Glass, glass and more glass,
and things like something as simple as a nice mirror
in a room, which you know, can double the size
of the space because it looks like you're looking out
a window into another connected space. And also mirrors recycle light.
Literally they take light, bounce it off up, keeps it
(19:01):
in the room longer. Things like that.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, all kinds of great stuff.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Okay, then you also said, so if it's I'm thinking
of bruntals. But if you're thinking because there's so many
small houses around LA, like if you get a twelve
hundred square foot house, it's a pretty small house, but
you can make the most of that space. And one
of the things you said is doors can be a
big factor.
Speaker 14 (19:24):
Doors can be a huge factor. First of all, door
swings are an issue. And if we're thinking about remodeling
the space, now is the time to think, do we
really want a door swinging into such a small space.
Maybe maybe a barn door, maybe a pocket door so
that we can open and close and have everything that
(19:45):
we want out of the door. But we avoid that
swing in because you know, when a door is open
in a small room, it's actually claiming for itself about
nine square feet of the space. Not the door itself,
but the path of travel in order to get it
from open to close has to be clear. And so
you know, and a door that's two and a half
(20:06):
feet wide takes up that much space on the wall
and so on. So it's one of those things where
starting right at the very very opening of the room,
we start thinking how can we save space?
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Okay, And then here's one that I am very fascinated by.
So apparently you're trying to make your eyes think the
space is bigger, and you can do that with curtains.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Curtains.
Speaker 14 (20:31):
Yeah, it's not that we're thinking that the space is
bigger per se. But what we want to do is
we want to get rid of queues that things are
just normal and low lying. So unfortunately, for most people
when they go thinking, oh, I'm going to go get curtains,
they go to the department store or the big box
store whatever, and you're not going to find the kind
(20:53):
of curtains that I'm talking about there, okay, because there
you're going to find curtains that are measured pre measured
to sit at regular window height, which is about eighty
inches off the floor, and the curtains just sit right
above the window. And everybody's thinking, well, yeah, that's where
curtains go, Dean, No, No, curtains, especially in a small room,
should run all the way up to the ceiling. All
(21:15):
the way up to the ceiling. So you got an
eight foot ceiling, which is by today's standards a low
ceiling for a room. We want those curtains running all
the way to the top. We want a nice big
vertical band of curtain and even a little pooling or
puddling on the floor. In other words, we want that
curtain just like a like a man's trouser on a
(21:38):
dress shoe, to actually hit the floor, not hang above
it and break a little bit on the floor. Very
very generous, and it gives us this sense with this
vertical column of a fabric that you know, we're just
thinking in terms of, oh, I love this vertical linear
line and it lifts the.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Ceiling of the room.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
I got to work on that pooling of the curtains
because I think I tried to do it, but it
just looks like a hot mess.
Speaker 14 (22:05):
Y're too long. Yeah, there's a trick to it. You
either pool or you puddle. Pooling means or breaking. I
should say either break or you puddle. Breaking just means
that you order the curtains about an inch to two
inches longer. That's all you've got, just so that they
break a little bit. Puddling is what most people tried
to do. That's an art form.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Yeah, Puddling is when you're four to six inches too long,
and if it's the wrong kind of curtain. It's just
gonna look wrong.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Well that's wrong.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Yeah, okay, so that's another thing that I can I've
got okay, clutter and the pool, my curtains, all right,
and we're gonna be talking about this all morning long
on Sunday from nine to noon with home or at
home with Dean Sharp. And then you also, of course,
are on from six to eight tomorrow morning. It's a
whole weekend of Dean there it is. I love it, okay,
(22:55):
Dean Sharp. You can also follow him at home with Dean.
Thank you so much. I love these two.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Thanks Amy.
Speaker 5 (23:01):

up on my wall. Perfection, all right, thanks Stein. I
love our talks because he always has such good things,
and it's I think it's fun too. When you listen,
you go, oh, I'm doing that, yay, and then you
can kind of pat yourself on the back and then
you go, oh, I'm also doing that. I need to
work on that one. A federal judge in San Francisco

from Laverne, was killed when his eighteen foot boat was
struck by a twenty two foot deck boat on the
Colorado River. The deck boat was allegedly piloted by off
duty sergeant Bruce Southworth. Investigator say alcohol appears to be
a factor. Southworth received the presidential Medal of Valor for
the twenty fifteen San Bernardino shooting response. He was arrested

(29:28):
He's now an administrative leave as the investigation continues. Heather

A man's been arrested for allegedly breaking into a Pasadena
Little League shed and stealing thousands of dollars worth of
equipment LEASA. Twenty seven year old Freddy Solario Junior was
caught on video Saturday breaking into the Pasadena Southwest Little
League storage shed at Allendale Park. The Dodgers have reached
a tentative settlement with a woman hit by a foul
(29:53):
ball during a game in twenty eighteen at Dodger Stadium.
The woman says she suffered serious injuries when she was
hit by a ball by former Dodger Manny Machado. In
Terms of the settlement have not been disclosed. A rare
sighting in northern California is giving conservative conservationists hope and
also making history.
Speaker 11 (30:12):
For the first time in nearly a century, winter run
chinook salmon have returned to the McLoud River. California Wildlife
officials say they spotted adult salmon near ash Camp where
Hawkins Creek meets the River. The video from the Department
of Fish and Wildlife even shows a female guarding her
nest of eggs. The winter run chinook is endangered and
considered one of the nine most at risk fish species
in the US. Its return is a big deal for
(30:33):
science and the survival of the species Brigida degustinok if
I News.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
I love hearing those stories. Bring back those salmons.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
Time to get in your business now with Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe.
Morning Courtney, Good morning, busy day here on Wall Street.
I know, well, we've been waiting for this one all week,
and the jobs report just.
Speaker 20 (30:52):
Got released, Yes, and it was a big miss, showing
labor growth has cooled over the past three months. This
is the first weeker than four test payrolls number in
five months, so this is a first miss we've seen.
So the big question that we're figuring out right now
is the labor market shifting into a lower gear. So
payrolls increase seventy three thousand, the unemployment rate ticking high
(31:14):
are four point two percent. So not only is job
growth cooling down and unemployment rising, it's a lot harder
for unemployed Americans to get a job, and we are
seeing some pressure on the markets as a result. SMP
futures are down forty six points down, futures falling two
hundred and ninety.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Oh, okay, could be a rough day on Wall Street.
Speaker 20 (31:35):
Yeah, and it's definitely going to be evaluated more by
the federerserve because policymakers voted to leave interest rates unchanged
earlier this week, so this is something that they're going
to be looking into more closely.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
Would this push tend to push toward an interest rate
reduction because it looks like things are cooling down.
Speaker 20 (31:53):
If we continue to see this pattern, most likely that's
going to be the case where the federerserve will step
in and then because they have a prong mandate, first
with the labor market, second with inflation, so they have
to make sure both are humming along aokay, okay, okay.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
So hotels have it, airlines have it, and now Airbnb
is looking at it.
Speaker 20 (32:13):
Yes, they're thinking about rolling out a loyalty program. So
the company said the launch of its Experiences and Services
business is putting the home sharing platform in a better
position to reward customers. Back in May, Airbnb they revamped
their inventory of tours and travel activities. They introduced a
bunch of add on services such as hiring a private chef,
(32:34):
hiring what a private chef, You can hire a trainer,
you can do all these things. So a lot of
services coming to your Airbnb kind of like a hotel
in a way.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
I like it.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
Okay, that's cool. I don't do Airbnb much. I like
people to make my bed every day. I agree with
you on that one. Americans are spending a lot of
time thinking about money.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
How many hours a day do we do that?
Speaker 20 (32:57):
About four hours a day, So if you put an
in person infective, that's the same amount of time as
a part time job. That's according to report from financial
services firm Empower. And actually, when you put it in
perspective here, we spend more time thinking about money in
a day than we do preparing meals and exercising combined.
So yeah, they say half of those surveyed by Empowers
(33:18):
say they think about money more often than they did
last year.
Speaker 5 (33:20):
If we were smart, we would think about money while
we're exercising and while we're cooking.
Speaker 20 (33:26):
Yes, being more efficient there, but about a third revealed
that money issues keep them up at night, so a
lot of people are thinking about it when they should
be sleeping.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I'm guilty of that. Best by teaming
up with another retailer trying to boost its sales.
Speaker 20 (33:41):
Yes, they're getting ready to test special sections in its
stores dedicated to Ikea My Base. The pilot aims to
make it easier for customers to integrate best Buy appliances
into Ikea design kitchens and laundry rooms. This is going
to mark the first time ike is offering services and
products at another retailer.
Speaker 5 (33:58):
Okay, so it's going to be ike at best Buy,
not best Buy at Ikea, or might they do a swapper.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Room Ikea at best Buy.
Speaker 20 (34:04):
So, and the reason is sales at best Buy have
declined in the last three years. So we saw a
huge spending surge on electronics during the pandemic. All that changed,
So they say, how are we going to get people
into the stores? And there's not a lot of Ikea
stores out there, so this is another way for Ikea
to get on the radar. So the initiative that's going
to begin in the fall, and it's going to start
(34:25):
with ten stores in Florida and Texas and then expand.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Out if it works out. I love that.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
I loved a good wander around the Ikea store in
Burbank In.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
You're getting in.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
Your business every day like we do with Bloomberg's Courtney
Donah who.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
We're gonna let you go and then we're gonna talk
to you on Monday morning. How about that.
Speaker 20 (34:42):
Definitely see you, Lader, enjoyed you again.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Thanks Courtney.
Speaker 5 (34:45):
Cruse have cleared out a homeless camp in Van Nuy's.
It's the same one that caught fire last year. Homeless
advocates and activists tried to block Cruise from clearing the camp.
Everyone in the camp has been offered housing. Official say
they expect about fifty people will be put in temporary housing.
A man's been arrested for stealing thousands of dollars in
baseball gear and equipment from a Little league shed in Pasadena.
(35:06):
Police say twenty seven year old Freddy Slario Junior was
caught on video Saturday breaking into the Pasadena Southwest Little
League's storage shed. It's in Allendale Park, justin Timberlake has
lime disease. He made that announcement while he wrapped up
his two year Forget Tomorrow World Tour. He says the
illness has caused extreme fatigue and nerve pain, but the
(35:28):
joy of performing kept him going. Timberlake says he hopes
to share his struggle and hopes that's going to raise
awareness and help others who are living with the disease.
We are just minutes away from handle on the news
that's coming up at six h five. Right now, let's
say good morning to ABC's multi platform reporter Willgans.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Will. We got Liam Neeson getting.
Speaker 10 (35:49):
Naked, yes, or at least the gun is getting naked.
He's doing a lot in this movie, and it's all
very hilarious. Also, happy anniversary to your anniversary to you, Amy,
that's very exciting. So if you want to celebrate with
a trip to the movie theater, The Naked Gun is
in theaters this weekend, and it's like one of those
ones that reminds you how fun it can be to
(36:10):
be in a movie theater full of people laughing their
heads off, like it's yeah, it's just it's so silly
and ridiculous and stupid and hilarious. And for fans of
the original Naked Gun movies, there are some callbacks and
you know, repeated jokes and things like that, but it's flapstick.
And it's also fun to see Liam Neeson basically making
(36:32):
fun of every movie he's ever been and you know,
you know, he's so we are so used to him
playing this like very serious, macho, you know, crime fighting guy,
and here he is, like dressed up like a schoolgirl
doing the same thing. You know, it's like it's very ridiculous.
And then Pam Anderson is in it and places love
interest and their chemistry is very palpable on screen.
Speaker 14 (36:54):
And now we're maybe finding out that.
Speaker 10 (36:56):
Off screen it's just as palpable. So Naked Gun is
a lot of fine.
Speaker 11 (37:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (37:00):
I mean, so people mag is reporting that they are
actually dating, and you know, if you saw any of
their their publicity like tour appearances, I don't know. I
think there might be a little something going on there,
which I sort of love. I think that they're a
good match.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
I think that's fun.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
Okay, So this movie, Naked Gun us it sounds like
we're talking about Happy Gilmore too as far as the
kind of the vibe of the movie. But this one
is a remake where Gilmore is a sequel, right.
Speaker 10 (37:32):
This, well, this one. It's sort of like a reboot.
I guess so's he's not playing the same character that
Leslie Nielsen played in the original ones. He's actually playing
his son. So it's like, you know, but not not
In Happy Gilmore, we were seeing like flashbacks from the
(37:52):
first movie. That's not the same here. But there are
just like jokes that seem familiar and things like that,
situations that you're like, oh my god, I remember this
from the first movie or whatever.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Okay, so laugh out loud fun in the theater. So
I love that.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
Okay, So this is not a laugh out loud kind
of movie or show. I've seen it as I've been
scrolling around on the stream, but I haven't clicked on
it yet.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
It's called Untamed.
Speaker 10 (38:17):
Yes, So this is about a park ranger who's trying
to solve a murder. In the very like opening scene
of the show, these two guys are climbing this mountain
in Yosemite National Park and a body comes tumbling off
the top and gets tangled up in their climbing gear.
So that's how it does. And then yeah, yeah, and
(38:37):
then the next six episodes are trying to figure out
who she was, who killed or how she died all
of that stuff, So it's you know, there there's some
like formulaic elements to play here. You know, the guy
who's solving it has like a little bit of a
drinking problem, and he's like a grizzled, you know, older investigator,
and he's partnered with a young a younger investigator from
(38:59):
Lots Angelus who's trying to help him out. And you know,
so it's sort of like if Law and Order was
set in a National park. The scenery is stunning and beautiful,
and all of the characters have a little bit of
like darker histories as well, even the cops. So the
thing with this too is that Netflix just renewed it
for a second season. So sometimes when that happens, I'm like, okay,
(39:21):
I need to pay attention to this because it seems like,
you know, the teams behind it are seeing a future
with it. It has legs and all of those things.
So it's good. It's you know, if you like those
sort of procedural type of shows, it's it's a good one, okay.
Speaker 5 (39:35):
And then there's a new docu series you love, a
good docuseries called Amy Bradley is Missing.
Speaker 10 (39:44):
Yes, so This is about a young lady who went
missing on a cruise ship in the nineties. And it's
coming up on the thirtieth anniversary of the case. And
so it's a three part docuseries and there's you know,
new interviews and new footage and things like that about
what might have happened to this woman on this cruise.
So she was out late one night, she came back
(40:05):
to her room and then her dad woke up and
realized she isn't in the cabin anymore, and and so,
you know, he alerts the staff and they don't. You know,
it's sort of like did they do enough? Did they
not do enough? And then people say they saw her
in curis out anyway. It's just like it's fascinating and
everyone I know who has watched it we have not
(40:25):
stopped talking about it. It's like, what do you think happened?
Speaker 4 (40:28):
Where do you think she is? This type of thing.
Speaker 10 (40:30):
So, and it's only three episodes, so it's very easy
to get through in a weekend.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
Okay, Amy Bradley is missing, and that's on Netflix.
Speaker 4 (40:37):
Netflix.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Okay, awesome.

Ok, everyone, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Hundreds
of people have joined a virtual meeting with La Mayor
Bass to address the rising crime in Encino that you've
been hearing about. Residents had sent a letter to Bass
with a list of demands to keep their community safe.
Bass told residents last night the city has intensified its
crime suppression strategy.
Speaker 7 (41:29):
There does need to be a long range plan on
a long range strategy, which is why the crime center.
The use of technology, upgrading where we are is something
to me that is a part of that long range plan.
Speaker 5 (41:44):
One woman complained about not being able to get a
hold of police after a break in at her house.
The mayor said the city has a severe shortage of
police operators and is in the process of hiring. UCLA
is losing two hundred million dollars in federal research funding
because of alleged anti semitism.
Speaker 17 (42:01):
UCLA Chancellor Julio Frank made the announcement on Thursday, calling
it a loss for Americans. The federal government is suspending
certain research funding that it provides through its control of
the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and
other agencies. Frank said the federal government is stripping the
funding due to alleged anti semitism and bias during last
(42:21):
year's pro Palestinian protests on the UCLA campus. He argues
the decision does nothing to address any alleged discrimination. Mark Mayfield,
