Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call
with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
KFI had KOST HD two, Los Angeles, Orange County.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
It's five o'clock, straight up. This is your wake up
call for Friday, July eighteen. I'm Amy King. The will
Cole Schreiper just walked into the studio and he said, well,
I've never been caught on a kiss cam cheating, but
you've never had good enough seats for that. Huh, that's true. Well,
you don't have to have good seats to get on
(00:48):
the kiss cam.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It helps, it helps.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Okay, so you've probably heard of you haven't. There was
a cold Play show and they're doing the kiss camp.
Who knew that they did kiss camster concerts. I thought
they only do him during sporting events. And who's the
headman of the Chris Martin. He goes, oh, look at
look at this cute couple and oh and then the
(01:11):
guy ducks the woman turns around. They're up in one
of the boxes. And then they're like, oh, maybe they're
having an affair. Well they were, they are oops and
it's it's everywhere, busted, busted. I was thinking about it today,
I'm like, do we want to talk about this? I mean,
because you feel bad for the for them, but then
(01:33):
you go, but they're cheating. And then if they wouldn't
have done anything, if they would have just stood there,
because he was standing behind her, she was standing in
front of him, and he had his arms wrapped around her.
It was actually very.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Cute, but nobody would have ever thought about it, nobody
would have noticed.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
But their reaction is huge, gone viral. It's on all
of the networks. It's on the cable networks, the broadcast network,
it's it's everywhere. And so I'm wondering, do you think
that these guys should get a break or should they
be skewered?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I think it's too late, it's too.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Late, but like you know, and then the whole thing
is so he's a CEO of a company and she's
his HR person, which again more problems. Is he even
going to have a job when this is all done.
We'd love to hear what you have to say about it.
If you want to weigh in, you can hit us
up on the talkback on the iHeartRadio app. It's the
little microphone in the upper right hand corner. Let us
(02:27):
know what you have to say. Is it a big deal?
Should we let him off the hook? Is he just
a cheating scoundrel? And is she a cheating scoundrel? She's
not married apparently, but he is or was?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
All right, here's what's ahead on wake up Call. The
House is voted twenty two sixteen to two thirteen to
approve the Senate passed package of nine billion dollars in
DOGE spending cuts. The cuts would be too public broadcasting,
global health programs and some other foreign aid. If the
House had failed to pass the legislation by today's deadline,
the ninellion dollars already allocated would have to be spent.
(03:03):
A federal judge in LA has denied a request by
the Trump administration for a stay of her ruling last
week that limits how ICE agents can detain illegal immigrants.
The government has filed a notice of its plan to
appeal the case to the ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals,
and one of the judge put her ruling on pause
pending that appeal, but judge said no. The Late Show
with Stephen Colbert is being canceled. Host Stephen Colbert made
(03:26):
the announcement on last night's show, saying he just found
out on Wednesday night. He said he's not being replaced.
This show is just ending. Paramount says it's a purely
financial decision. Preliminary reports are that Air India jet that
crash last month happened because fuel to the engines was
cut off. ABC Sam Sweeney's going to join us in
(03:46):
just a couple of minutes to find out if it
was the plane or the pilot that flipped the switch. Well,
it's nice and hot and it's dry, and it's summer,
and that means fire danger the house whisper Dean Sharp,
it's going to join us to tell us what you
can do now to keep your home safer in a wildfire.
And coming up at five point fifty, we're tickling the
ivories with the piano man. Will Gans is going to
(04:08):
tell us about a new Billy Joel documentary that sounds
very cool. And it's Shark Week. Let's get started with
some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
four hour newsroom. The Department of Justice has asked for
lists of all illegal immigrants in County jails in California.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
The DOJ says the data request or simply to assist
federal immigration agents in prioritizing illegal immigrants accused of committing
crimes after coming to the US. LA County Sheriff Robert
Luna says he hasn't received that request yet.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
Once we receive the letter, we will absolutely review it
to determine what information, if any, we can legally provide.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Luna says his department has turned over twenty illegal immigrant
inmates two federal agents after proper warrants were produced. He
says they were accused of serious crimes. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
A woman from South LA has been accused faking being
kidnapped by ICE agents.
Speaker 7 (05:03):
Uriana calder Own, an undocumented mother, was charged by the
US Department of Justice on Thursday. Prosecutors say she orchestrated
a kidnapping in late June to generate sympathy and solicit donations.
She and her family claimed she was taken from a
parking lot in downtown Los Angeles, driven to the US
Mexico border, and told to self deport. Authorities later found
her at a shopping plaza in Bakersfield called her own
(05:25):
has been charged with conspiracy and making false statements to
federal officers. Daniel Martindale Caffie News.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
The Orange County Fair starts today. New attractions include a
collection of original movie posters on display in an exhibit
that mimics shopping for videotapes its stores like Blockbuster, Oh
My God, Blockbuster. There are also pig races and a
petting zoo, The O C. Brew Heehaw Craft Beer Show,
and George Thorogood and the Destroyer and fog Hatter playing
(05:52):
in the Pacific Amphitheater tonight. Tributes to Abba and the
Beg's will also be part of the live concerts this year.
The Fair runs today through August seventeen. Let's say good
morning to ABC's Sam Sweeney. So, Sam, when there's a
plane crash, of course everyone wants answers, especially when it
says horrific is the one that crashed into that neighborhood
(06:13):
in western India. So we looked at black boxes for answers,
and earlier this week we got a preliminary report that
the fuel switches on the Air India flight that crashed
had been flipped. So please first tell us what might
have happened, and then whether it was a plane problem
or pilot error that caused it to happen.
Speaker 8 (06:36):
Well, this is looking more like a deliberate act. The
Wall Street Journal has gotten a report from two US
officials who are a part of this investigation, and they
told the journal that the captain of that plane, who
has more than fifteen thousand hours of flight experience, intentionally
flipped those fuel switches. And there's really no reason why
(06:59):
a pilot hit those switches at this critical phase of
flight when they're trying to get that plane filled with
people and fuel into the air. You only hit that
switch when you're turning the plane off after the flight,
and when you're turning the plane on before the flight.
So this is a major revelation in this investigation.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Okay, and so do we have any You said he's
got like fifteen thousand hours of flight experience? Was he disgruntled?
Do we know anything about him?
Speaker 8 (07:27):
We don't know anything more. And look to get this
kind of information during an active investigation is extraordinarily rare.
Usually these are very tight, closed door operations. You don't
want things to get out before you have the full picture.
But it's becoming clear what happened here, And of course
(07:48):
we won't know the final determination until that report comes out.
But you know, there are party for this investigation who
want to clear their name and have you know, to
get the story out there. So it is possible there
could be more weeks on this, but certainly a twist
in this investigation. Now they're going to be looking into
(08:09):
both pilot's medical histories, they're going to be looking at
their computer history, they're going to be speaking with their
family to see what may have been going on.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Okay, So then just backing up to it, because it
was you know, there's video of the plane crash. You'll
remember it from last month where the plane takes off
and then you see the plane. It doesn't nosedive or anything.
It just sort of looks like it almost gently floats
down and then crashes. And then that would explain it
that they had fuel and so do they know when
(08:40):
the fuel lines were switched off?
Speaker 8 (08:44):
They were switched off three seconds after takeoff. And if
you just said, you know, experts were looking at this
video trying to figure out what could have gone wrong.
This is a safe airplane. It's never crashed and it's
more than two decades of service. It's flown more than
a billion people. What could have happened here? And they
just knew that based on the plane floating down, that
(09:05):
it was a double engine power failure. But why did
the power fail? And in the black box of the
journal also reports that the captain remained calm throughout this
while the first officer asked the captain why he turned
those switches off, and when the captain said he didn't
do it, that first officer began to panic. You can
(09:25):
imagine that first officer was in charge of flying the
plane on that specific leg to London. He's trying to
keep this plane in the air during the takeoff period
and loses all power. And the plane engines are not
like car engines. You can't just turn them back on.
They take a minute or two to warm up, get
spinning and create more thrust. And three seconds after takeoffs
(09:46):
there simply isn't the altitude and the time to allow
those engines to start to keep that plane in the air.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Wow, that is so scary. Sam Sweeney, thank you so
much for that information. I'm sure we're going to be
following this and as we try to figure out why
he did it. I mean did he have some sort
of a mental breakdown, did he have a beef with
the airline, was he in a fight with his wife.
I mean, there's so many possibilities of why that might
have happened. So we'll be watching and hopefully we'll talk
(10:14):
to you again soon. Thank you so much, Sam, Thank
you all right. Wow, I had not heard that. You know,
we had heard the preliminaries earlier this week that the
switches had been flipped off, but three seconds into the
flight and then the co pilot like, what do you
do at that point? That's just crazy. Let's get back
(10:35):
to some of the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. The House has passed a bill
to cancel billions of dollars in foreign aid and public
broadcasting spending.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
We clawed back nine billion dollars in taxpayer funds and
wasteful spending, fraud, waste, and abuse.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
House Speaker mic Johnson says the government is too large,
does too many things, and does almost nothing well. Democrats
argue the bill would hurt America's standing in the world
and would create a vacuum for China to fill. The
bill now heads to President Trump to be signed. The
president says he has ordered his attorney general to release
any and all pertinent grand jury testimony in the Jeffrey
(11:14):
Epstein case.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
Trump posted on truth Social saying, quote, based on the
ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I've asked
Attorney General Pam Bondy to produce any and all pertinent
grand jury testimony, subject to court approval.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
ABC's Nicole Dantonio says Bondy responded, saying her department was
ready to move the court today to unseal the grand
jury transcripts. The White House says President Trump's been diagnosed
with a chronic condition following a recent medical checkup after
he noticed mild swelling in his lower legs. Press Secretary
(11:48):
Caroline Levitt said yesterday that tests by the White House
Medical uniit A unit showed Trump has chronic veinous insufficiency
that's a relatively common condition in older adults.
Speaker 9 (11:58):
There was no evidence of vane frombosis or arterial disease.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Levitt said. Bruising scene on Trump's hand recently was consistent
with irritation from his frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin.
Peacock is raising its subscription rates by three dollars a month.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
News HEBS is canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Host Stephen Colbert made the announcement on last night's show,
saying he just found out Wednesday night.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Next year will be our last season.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
The network will be ending the Late Show.
Speaker 10 (12:48):
In May, and yeah, I share your feeling.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
It's not just the end of our show, but it's
the end of the Late Show on CBS.
Speaker 10 (13:05):
I'm not being replaced.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
This is all just going away.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Paramount said it is a purely financial decision. It says
it is not related in any way to the show's performance, content,
or other things going on at Paramount. Colbert went on
a rant on air after CBS settled a lawsuit with
President Trump over a sixty minutes interview with Kamala Harris.
The Late Show was just nominated for a Primetime Emmy
(13:29):
Award for Outstanding Talk Show. That was their sixth nomination. Okay,
we were talking about the kiss cam couple caught at
the Coldplay concert. Hey, think of the alliteration there, and
wanted to know. I mean, like, have you known anybody
who's also been caught on a kisscam? Or do you
(13:52):
think they're making too big of a deal about it?
Just whatever you're thinking about it, we would love to
hear about it.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Here.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
We got one. Let's see if I can do it right.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
I know somebody who was caught on a kiss cam
and he was married, and the lady sitting next to
him was his girlfriend, and the in law saw the
kiss cam and that was the end of his marriage.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Oh so we heard too that this guy who's a
CEO of a company apparently having an affair with his
HR person is of course married, but then everybody dives
into social media to start looking for stuff, and his
wife apparently has changed her status on social media or
something like that. So see what happens again. I kind
(14:40):
of feel bad for him and kind of don't. A
jury has awarded nearly fifty million dollars to a man
who remains in a coma nearly a year after being
struck by an LA City sanitation truck while crossing the
street in Encinow. The city agreed before trial that the
truck driver's negligence was the sole cause of the accident.
Ellie Kenny Sheriff's deputies have busted up an illegal marijuana
(15:02):
grow at a house in Hacienda Heights and seized three
million dollars worth of pot. Police say they'd been bypassing
the electrical panel and meter for several years. So cal
Edison confirms the home was using you about eighteen thousand
dollars worth of electricity a month. A breeze is about
to blow through Burbank. Avello Airlines announced earlier this week
that it was closing down its West Coast operations and
(15:24):
would stop offering flights out of its hub in Burbank
in December. Well, another low cost airline, Breeze, says it'll
take over many of a Vello's abandoned roots starting in
March of twenty twenty six. Let's say good morning now
to the host of home on KFI. It's our house, Whisper,
our very own Dean, Sharp and Dean. We've got summertime,
we've got hot temperatures, We've already had several fires and
(15:47):
lots of evacuations. So let's talk about fire season and
preparing to keep the flames from taking away your house.
Speaker 10 (15:55):
Good morning, Amy. Yeah, it's one of those things that
you know, honestly, people are like, oh, do we have
to talk about this again? And believe me, we feel
the same way. It's just seems like just a couple
of weeks ago we were talking about the Palisades and
the eaten byres and all of the issues related to them.
But the fact of the matter is, you know, it's Midsummer.
(16:18):
You know, the All Star Game was this week, and
the grasses on the hills that were still a little
bit green just a few weeks ago, they're golden brown now,
and the weather is heating up and continuing now to
dry out all of that fuel on the hillsides. So
the fact of the matter is fire season isn't right
(16:39):
here at this moment. But the fact is, if we
are going to get ready, if we're going to get
our homes ready, there are things we've got to get
going on right now, right now, by the time that
the winds kick up and we have another fire season
upon us. So this Sunday, that's all we're talking about.
We're talking about rationally, in the smartest way possible, prepping
(17:02):
your home. And I say that just because there's so
much information out there, misinformation really about all the things
that could be done to a home. I don't want
you to go overkill, but I want your home ready.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Okay, So you talking about this all morning Sunday, but
let's get a little sneak preview of a couple of
the things that we can do to get our homes
ready now before the flames get close. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (17:27):
Well, you know, there are two phases that you really
need to think about. One is when the fire is near,
and then two, what's your home going to do when
the flames are actually here? So near? And here when
the fire is near? Of course, the most important lesson
that we have all learned is getting ember proof vents
(17:50):
installed on your home. That's for your attic space or
if you've got a raised foundation, in other words, you
have a crawl space under your house, then you've got
to include the crawl space too, but the attic space
especially especially. And the reason is we have learned that
ninety percent of the homes that burn in a wildfire
a vent ignite long before the flames actually arrived at
(18:14):
the house. That means that ninety percent of the homes
out there that ignited in the Palisades fire and the
Eaten fire recently and all the fires before that, are
being affected by embers floating through the air, tiny embers
that get sucked into an attic space and then actually
start things on fire. So if we simply, if there's
(18:35):
nothing else that you do this season but order emberproof
vents for your attic in your crawl space, you are
cutting down the risk of your home burning in a
wildfire by an extreme amount. It's the biggest single thing
that you could do to your home.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Okay, then, I know we've talked about this before, but
I think it'd be a good reminder. So if you
haven't gotten those emberproof vents and so you order them
today and a fire breaks out tomorrow and you haven't
had a chance to install them, Okay, just creating a
what if there are things that you can do? Because
you said like you said that the stuff gets into
your house. So say a fire is getting close, and
(19:15):
you can do it kind of a stop gap just
to hopefully save your house.
Speaker 10 (19:20):
And believe me, no, embers are not difficult. I mean
it's not like, oh, there's no stopping that little tiny,
you know, glowing thing. Absolutely you can stop it. And
if there's a wildfire nearby and you've got a ladder
on hand and a roll of duct tape, something as
simple as that, or a couple of pieces of cardboard
to block those vent openings, just close them up. Your
(19:43):
attic doesn't need to be breathing during that wildfire event
for the few hours that that's going on. Just tape
them closed. Just tape them closed. We just can't afford
to have embers sliding past those vents and into your
attic space.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
All right, I know you're going to have so much
more information that is critical to making sure that your
home doesn't burn up in a wildfire. You know, they're
cropping up everywhere. We just have that one in Riverside
and it just boom and was one thousand acres and
people had to get out of their homes. So we
need to get them ready now so you can be
listening to Dean Sharp all day Sunday nine to noon.
(20:21):
I guess it's not all day, it's three hours on
Sunday nine to noon. And also you can also listen
to Dean and at Home with Dean Sharp from six
to eight on Saturday morning, and you can follow him
at Home with Dean Dean Sharp. Thank you so much
for the valuable, valuable information.
Speaker 10 (20:39):
Thanks Amy, all right, we'll talk.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
To you soon. State lawmaker from Huntington Beach says it's
time to scrap California's high speed rail project. Republican State
Senator Tony Strickland says, with the federal government revoking four
billion dollars for the project, it'll be stopped when Governor
Newsom leaves office.
Speaker 10 (20:55):
By whoever the next governor of California is.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Because it's a highly unpopular project in the people in
California know there are dollars being wasted.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
The project is years behind schedule, and its budget has
ballooned to more than one hundred billion dollars. It was
supposed to connect La to San Francisco, but so far
not a single piece of track has been put down.
State lawmakers in California want to keep their personal contact
information private. After the shootings of two lawmakers in Minnesota
last month.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
A proposed measure would block journalists from accessing lawmakers addresses, emails,
and phone numbers via voter registration records. This is despite
there being no evidence the Minnesota shooter used these types
of records. While voter registration data is mostly confidential, it
is currently accessible to some, including journalists cal Matters reports.
Advocates for press freedom argued that change could reduce accountability.
(21:43):
Mark Ronner KFI News, the.

with you again, Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome says the
agency is evaluating the size of liquids in carry on
bags now that travelers can leave their shoes on as
(22:50):
they get screened at TSA checkpoints. Travel editor Peter Greenberg
says enhanced technology is already working well in the UK.
It can differentiate between drinks and chemical explosives.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Technology allowing that, or to be able to allow that,
has been in effect for quite some time, and HEAs
haven't employed it.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
The TSA hasn't budgeted for the scanning technology or trained
employees yet, so Greenberg says we probably won't see any
changes to current policy until at least twenty twenty seven. Tonight,
the Dodgers returned to Dodgers Stadium after the All Star break.

will be harmed by the restraining orders. A twenty two
year old man's been charged with murder and the shooting
deaths of an American Idol music supervisor and her husband

Prices for the Peacock Premium service are going up by
three dollars a month. NBC Universal execs have said they
believe Peacock is under priced compared to its streaming rivals.
At six o five its handle on the news. Public
broadcasting will not be getting federal funding any longer now
that lawmakers have passed DOGE cuts. Let's get back to
(24:31):
some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
four hour news room. A Democratic Congressman from Orange County
says innocent Americans have been caught up in federal immigration sweeps.
Luke Carea says a lawyer was arrested this week at
Centennial Park in Santa Ana.
Speaker 11 (24:45):
Many stories like that US citizens being detined by eyes,
not for a few hours, but for a few days.
Speaker 1 (24:52):

Daniel Martindale CAFI News.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
The University of California system is announced it's looking at
a possible tuition and fee increase. It may also lower
the amount that feeser used to support financial aid. In
twenty twenty one, you see implemented a program where tuition
stays fixed for students based on their enrollment year. You
see leaders say forty five percent of tuition funds support
financial aid for low income students, with a tuition increase
(26:01):
cap of five percent per year. As the program ends
after the fall of twenty twenty six, you see plans
to raise that cap to seven percent. They're also planning
to reduce their financial aid share to thirty five percent
and introduce an additional yearly increase beyond inflation. President Trump
says he's going to sue the Wall Street Journal for
printing a fake letter from Trump to Jeffrey Epstein on
(26:23):
Epstein's fiftieth birthday that was back in two thousand and three.
Trump posted on true Social yesterday that the journal was
warned the letter was fake and that if it was
printed a lawsuit would follow. New Jersey Democratic Senator Corey
Booker says it's hard to take Trump at his word.
Speaker 12 (26:37):
So we already know there's a pattern of Donald Trump
and that kind of creepiness. This letter shouldn't surprise anybody,
and the Wall Street Journal wouldn't have taken the risk
against his lawsuits to publish it if they didn't believe
and have it verified.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Trump says the words in the letter are not the
way he speaks and that he doesn't draw pictures. Time
to get in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho Morning, Courtney.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Good Morning, Happy Friday, Happy Friday.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
So apparently price matching is a thing at some big
box retailers, but at least one is saying that we're
not doing it anymore.
Speaker 13 (27:12):
Yeah, it's Target and they're pulling the plug on the
program that matches prices with the competition. So they're going
to continue to match prices within its own system. For example,
if there's a difference between an item's cost online and
in its stores. But it's no longer going to match
prices with rivals that did it with Target Amazon, for example,
But Target's policy now more closely resembles Walmart, which only
(27:35):
matches prices between its own stores and its website.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Walmart managers, by.
Speaker 13 (27:40):
The way, also have the final decision on whether to
go through with the match. But Target has definitely struggled
lately to rejuvenate growth. They've had choppy store traffic, soft demand,
inventory missteps. But if you need to do a price match,
that's going to change on July twenty eighth, So head
in there soon if you have a plan.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
You know what, I never I don't do that, but
I have a friend who will do that.
Speaker 13 (28:05):
Yeah, I feel like I don't have time anymore to
I used to use coupons too, for example, and even
make coupons anywhere. Yeah. I mean you have the digital finding, yeah,
but even finding the apps to get it half the time.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
I'm just like, all right, just get it by it.
Speaker 13 (28:22):
So I feel like I'm giving away myself these companies
I got you out.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Lululemon, uh makes a lot of money, but maybe not
quite as much as they have been.
Speaker 13 (28:32):
Yeah, so there's a couple of red flags going up
at Lululemon. Investment firm Jeffries has noticed that the company's
black leggings are piling up.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
At outlet stores.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Oh that's not a good sign.
Speaker 13 (28:44):
But I want to note, as a parent of a
tween between girl, these pants are rarely discounted, and these
tweens love Lulu Lemon. But Jeffreys analyst Randy Connick says
it's an alarming issue for Lululemon. The retailer is trying
to pull itself out of rough patch, and he says
that it shows a demand seems to be slowing down
for the company's clothes. Lula Lemon's been trying to fend
(29:07):
off a lot of competition. We've been seeing it rise
with Alo Yoga Vieori. I see commercials for that all
the time. But keep in mind, Lulu Lemon shares have
declined more than forty percent this year. But no comment
so far from Lula Lemon on that investment report, But.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Be watching in case there's big sales.
Speaker 13 (29:26):
Oh, yes, don't worry, I'm gonna be there. I'll probably
let you know, all right, my daughter will be there.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah, So Lulu Lemon. We may see some prices coming down,
but for Peacock, the prices are going up.
Speaker 13 (29:38):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, we are seeing Comcast is raising
the price of Peacock by three bucks a month. The
version with advertising will increase to eleven dollars, so one
with ad without ads will get a bump of seventeen,
a bump to seventeen. Excuse me, but the change in
prices will hit new customers next Wednesday. But if you
already have Peacock, you have a little bit of time.
(30:00):
Your bill's going to be more expensive after August twenty second.
And by the way, this is the biggest hike in
Peacock's five year history. It's going to be even more
expensive than rivals HBO, Max and Hulu.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
And they don't even have that much stuff.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
I know, Like, how can you get it on regular NBC?
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Well, I mean you actually have to watch TV when
the shows are on, and that is problematic these days.
Speaker 13 (30:22):
Right, Yeah, that's sometimes what I feel with the Housewives.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Sometimes I have.
Speaker 13 (30:26):
To go there in order to get my fill of
Housewives of Salt Lake City.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Okay, Bloomberg's Courtney Dona getting in your business like we

Speaker 1 (30:43):
See you later, all right. I got a note. We
were talking about that cold Play, the couple caught on
the kiss cam that they were cheating, and there's a
meme that's gone out says cold Play hasn't made a
single in years. Last night it made two.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Get it?
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I got it?
Speaker 10 (31:02):
Yes, get it?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Yes, have anything to say about it? Ever been caught
on the kiss cam when you shouldn't have been where
you were? Want to fess up? You can do it
anonymously on the iHeartRadio app. Yeah, just hit up the
click or click the talkback button. Yesterday we were talking
about how I was up in Medford and my mom
and I were watching Tiny Holmes and I got a
nice message about Medford about.
Speaker 10 (31:23):
That good morning.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
I knew I really liked Amy King just hearing that
she's from Medford, Oregon.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
Right on, girl, My son and his family.
Speaker 10 (31:34):
Live up there.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
They've lived up there for a long time.
Speaker 8 (31:38):
Glad you hear it.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
It's a beautiful place. It's a beautiful place. And thanks
for the nice comment. The man from Brentwood, accused of
have impersonating a firefighter during the Pacific Palisades wildfire in January,
is now facing twenty eight felony charges, including assault with
a deadly weapon, trespassing, pointing a laser at planes and helicopters, perjury,
and forgery. He was arrested Wednesday, and fake firetruck on
(32:01):
his property was seized and towed away. A former Orange
County Shriff's deputy's pleaded guilty to attacking his girlfriend. He
was immediately sentenced to three years probation. Kyle Picard got
into a fight with his live in girlfriend at their
home in Rancho Santa Margarita after a night out drinking
for his birthday. Picard, who joined the O C. Sheriff's
Department in July twenty eleven, no longer works for them.
(32:22):
The Trump administration has asked LA and other counties in
California for information on illegal immigrants who are in jail.
The Department of Justice is looking for names and criminal records.
We're just minutes away from handling the news this morning.
Stephen Colbert is being canceled. What led NBC to pull
the plug on the Emmy nominated late night show. Let's
say good morning now to ABC's Will Gans. Will you
(32:46):
may have heard a little tickling of the ivory and
if you want to get a whole lot of that,
we can watch it now.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
That's right. The piano man is the star of a
new documentary on HBO Max. It's called Billy Joel and
so it goes, and it's a two parter and part
one is out today on HBO Max. And this documentary
is like, it's amazing. It's like a really unprecedented look
at the life and struggles of Billy Joel that really
(33:14):
fueled his music over the last several decades. He is
in it, so he worked on the documentary as well.
He narrates a lot of it. And then you also
get to hear from people like Bruce Springsteen and Pink
and John Lennon and like not John Lennon, Paul McCartney,
excuse me, and you know, just talking about how his
(33:36):
music has has you know, inspired them and changed the
game in so many ways. And and it's also like,
you know, you would think with him being involved that
you wouldn't get a lot of sort of the grungier details,
but those are in there too. You know, we're talking
affairs and substance use disorder and and you know, mental
health struggles and things like that, and like it's it's
(33:59):
it's a pretty rivet documentary and yeah it's it's only
two parts, so we will have to wait a week
for part two to come out, but that first part
is out today.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Okay, So you mentioned affairs and don't tell me because
I don't want to watch it. But I wonder if
that means he cheated on Christy Brinkley. Okay, don't tell us,
don't tell us.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
I won't.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
I won't tell you.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Okay, that sounds great. And where is it again? On
It's on Max or.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
HBO Max HBO Max. I think they officially changed the
name back like last week or something, but because of algamation, yeah, yeah,
of those words works, I feel.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yeah, the app on my TV now shows up again
as HBO Max, which why they got rid of it,
we don't know. But that's a whole other talk. Okay,
So if you're looking for something just kind of light, sweet, silly,
you have another streamer for us this weekend.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Yes, on Netflix, the series Too Much. It's a rom
com series and it's Lena Dunham's big return to television
after Girls you know about more than a decade to go,
and this one is loosely based on her real life
experience moving to London and falling in love.
Speaker 8 (35:06):
And the main.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Character here is played by Meg Stalter, who is on
Hacks and she's so funny on that show.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Wait, where do you play on Hacks?
Speaker 2 (35:16):
She's Jimmy's assistant or not no longer assistant Yeah okay, yeah,
the one that is now running that firm with him.
So you know, she's very quirky, very funny. This is
this would not be a good one to watch with
the whole family. You know, it's a it's an adult
rom com. I would say language and stuff like that.
(35:37):
But it's really great and you know a lot of
people are saying that, you know, it was worth the
wait for Lena Dunham to come back for something like this.
The love interest is played by Will Sharp, who was
in season two of The White Lotus. He was Aubrey
Plaza's husband in that season. Uh so you might remember him.
But it's about a woman who moved to London for
(35:59):
work and falls in love with the musician while she's
over there, and it's their love story over the course
of ten episodes, and what.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Could possibly go wrong with falling in love with a
musician across the ocean? Okay?
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Thanksactly, exactly okay.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
And speaking of the ocean, Shark Week.
Speaker 8 (36:17):
Is back there.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
It is you know the sound. Yeah, Discovery Channel is
bringing back Shark Week. It starts on Sunday night. And
you know they always have such crazy programming. And one
of the shows this year, I kid you not, is
called Dancing with the Sharks, not Stars Sharks, and it's
hosted by Tom bergeron and it will show divers performing
(36:40):
underwater routines with sharks. So you know, I don't know
what to make of that, but I will be seated
and watching it on Sunday night when Shark Week kicks
off on the Discovery Channel.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Yes, you just hooked me. Okay, Discovery Channel starting when
starting on Sunday, Sunday night. Yep, all right, ABC's will Gan.
You gave us lots of stuff to are lots of
reasons to just sit on the couch this weekend.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Hey, you're welcome. That's always what I'm here to do.
If you want to be lazy, I've got.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
You all right, we'll talk to you next week. Thanks
so much, Will.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Thanks Amy.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
All right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The
House has passed a plan to make nine billion dollars
in DOGE spending cuts.
Speaker 7 (37:21):
On this vote, the Ya's are two hundred and sixteen,
the na's are two hundred and thirteen. The resolution is.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Adopted, eight billion dollars will be cut from foreign aid
and global health programs. Another billion is going to be
cut from public broadcasting like NPR and PBS. The bill
now heads to President Trump's desk for his signature. A
new assessment shows the American air strikes on Iran only
destroyed one of three nuclear or enrichment sites. It says
(37:53):
the two others were not as badly damaged and may
have been degraded to a point where nuclear enrichment could
restart in the next several months. President Trump had called
the strikes last month a spectacular military success and said
Iran's key enrichment facilities had been totally obliterated. NBC News
says US Central Command had developed a much more comprehensive
(38:14):
plan to strike Iran that would have involved hitting three
additional sites in an operation that would have stretched out
over several weeks, but that the president rejected that one.
Lawmakers in California have proposed a measure to allow them
to keep their personal contact information private. They say it's
because of the shooting of two Minnesota lawmakers last month.
(38:35):
The measure would block journalists from accessing lawmakers addresses, emails,
and phone numbers via voter registration records. Advocates for press
freedom argue that that change could reduce accountability for lawmakers.
Peru is turning out to be the Egypt of the Americas.
Speaker 11 (38:51):
Peru has unveiled remains of the oldest known civilization in
north central or South America. Cadil Soupe was around at
the same time as ancient Egypt, about five thousand years ago.
Eight years of excavations and research has made the newly
discovered settlement of Pinico available to visitors.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
Archaeologists.
Speaker 11 (39:07):
A Pinico came into existence around eighteen hundred BC near
the decline of Cadal, which developed an isolation compared to
the other ancient civilizations of the time, including Egypt, India, Sumeria,
and China. The site includes trails through the ancient Ruins
An Interpretation Center and Museum. Michael Krozer, KFI News And
just like.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
That, our time on wake Up Call is done for

Speaker 3 (00:15):
It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
It's five o'clock, straight up. This is your wake up
call for Friday, July eighteen. I'm Amy King. The will
Cole Schreiper just walked into the studio and he said, well,
I've never been caught on a kiss cam cheating, but
you've never had good enough seats for that. Huh, that's true. Well,
you don't have to have good seats to get on
(00:48):
the kiss cam.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It helps, it helps.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Okay, so you've probably heard of you haven't. There was
a cold Play show and they're doing the kiss camp.
Who knew that they did kiss camster concerts. I thought
they only do him during sporting events. And who's the
headman of the Chris Martin. He goes, oh, look at
look at this cute couple and oh and then the
(01:11):
guy ducks the woman turns around. They're up in one
of the boxes. And then they're like, oh, maybe they're
having an affair. Well they were, they are oops and
it's it's everywhere, busted, busted. I was thinking about it today,
I'm like, do we want to talk about this? I mean,
because you feel bad for the for them, but then
(01:33):
you go, but they're cheating. And then if they wouldn't
have done anything, if they would have just stood there,
because he was standing behind her, she was standing in
front of him, and he had his arms wrapped around her.
It was actually very.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Cute, but nobody would have ever thought about it, nobody
would have noticed.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
But their reaction is huge, gone viral. It's on all
of the networks. It's on the cable networks, the broadcast network,
it's it's everywhere. And so I'm wondering, do you think
that these guys should get a break or should they
be skewered?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I think it's too late, it's too.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Late, but like you know, and then the whole thing
is so he's a CEO of a company and she's
his HR person, which again more problems. Is he even
going to have a job when this is all done.
We'd love to hear what you have to say about it.
If you want to weigh in, you can hit us
up on the talkback on the iHeartRadio app. It's the
little microphone in the upper right hand corner. Let us
(02:27):
know what you have to say. Is it a big deal?
Should we let him off the hook? Is he just
a cheating scoundrel? And is she a cheating scoundrel? She's
not married apparently, but he is or was?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
All right, here's what's ahead on wake up Call. The
House is voted twenty two sixteen to two thirteen to
approve the Senate passed package of nine billion dollars in
DOGE spending cuts. The cuts would be too public broadcasting,
global health programs and some other foreign aid. If the
House had failed to pass the legislation by today's deadline,
the ninellion dollars already allocated would have to be spent.
(03:03):
A federal judge in LA has denied a request by
the Trump administration for a stay of her ruling last
week that limits how ICE agents can detain illegal immigrants.
The government has filed a notice of its plan to
appeal the case to the ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals,
and one of the judge put her ruling on pause
pending that appeal, but judge said no. The Late Show
with Stephen Colbert is being canceled. Host Stephen Colbert made
(03:26):
the announcement on last night's show, saying he just found
out on Wednesday night. He said he's not being replaced.
This show is just ending. Paramount says it's a purely
financial decision. Preliminary reports are that Air India jet that
crash last month happened because fuel to the engines was
cut off. ABC Sam Sweeney's going to join us in
(03:46):
just a couple of minutes to find out if it
was the plane or the pilot that flipped the switch. Well,
it's nice and hot and it's dry, and it's summer,
and that means fire danger the house whisper Dean Sharp,
it's going to join us to tell us what you
can do now to keep your home safer in a wildfire.
And coming up at five point fifty, we're tickling the
ivories with the piano man. Will Gans is going to
(04:08):
tell us about a new Billy Joel documentary that sounds
very cool. And it's Shark Week. Let's get started with
some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
four hour newsroom. The Department of Justice has asked for
lists of all illegal immigrants in County jails in California.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
The DOJ says the data request or simply to assist
federal immigration agents in prioritizing illegal immigrants accused of committing
crimes after coming to the US. LA County Sheriff Robert
Luna says he hasn't received that request yet.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
Once we receive the letter, we will absolutely review it
to determine what information, if any, we can legally provide.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Luna says his department has turned over twenty illegal immigrant
inmates two federal agents after proper warrants were produced. He
says they were accused of serious crimes. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
A woman from South LA has been accused faking being
kidnapped by ICE agents.
Speaker 7 (05:03):
Uriana calder Own, an undocumented mother, was charged by the
US Department of Justice on Thursday. Prosecutors say she orchestrated
a kidnapping in late June to generate sympathy and solicit donations.
She and her family claimed she was taken from a
parking lot in downtown Los Angeles, driven to the US
Mexico border, and told to self deport. Authorities later found
her at a shopping plaza in Bakersfield called her own
(05:25):
has been charged with conspiracy and making false statements to
federal officers. Daniel Martindale Caffie News.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
The Orange County Fair starts today. New attractions include a
collection of original movie posters on display in an exhibit
that mimics shopping for videotapes its stores like Blockbuster, Oh
My God, Blockbuster. There are also pig races and a
petting zoo, The O C. Brew Heehaw Craft Beer Show,
and George Thorogood and the Destroyer and fog Hatter playing
(05:52):
in the Pacific Amphitheater tonight. Tributes to Abba and the
Beg's will also be part of the live concerts this year.
The Fair runs today through August seventeen. Let's say good
morning to ABC's Sam Sweeney. So, Sam, when there's a
plane crash, of course everyone wants answers, especially when it
says horrific is the one that crashed into that neighborhood
(06:13):
in western India. So we looked at black boxes for answers,
and earlier this week we got a preliminary report that
the fuel switches on the Air India flight that crashed
had been flipped. So please first tell us what might
have happened, and then whether it was a plane problem
or pilot error that caused it to happen.
Speaker 8 (06:36):
Well, this is looking more like a deliberate act. The
Wall Street Journal has gotten a report from two US
officials who are a part of this investigation, and they
told the journal that the captain of that plane, who
has more than fifteen thousand hours of flight experience, intentionally
flipped those fuel switches. And there's really no reason why
(06:59):
a pilot hit those switches at this critical phase of
flight when they're trying to get that plane filled with
people and fuel into the air. You only hit that
switch when you're turning the plane off after the flight,
and when you're turning the plane on before the flight.
So this is a major revelation in this investigation.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Okay, and so do we have any You said he's
got like fifteen thousand hours of flight experience? Was he disgruntled?
Do we know anything about him?
Speaker 8 (07:27):
We don't know anything more. And look to get this
kind of information during an active investigation is extraordinarily rare.
Usually these are very tight, closed door operations. You don't
want things to get out before you have the full picture.
But it's becoming clear what happened here, And of course
(07:48):
we won't know the final determination until that report comes out.
But you know, there are party for this investigation who
want to clear their name and have you know, to
get the story out there. So it is possible there
could be more weeks on this, but certainly a twist
in this investigation. Now they're going to be looking into
(08:09):
both pilot's medical histories, they're going to be looking at
their computer history, they're going to be speaking with their
family to see what may have been going on.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Okay, So then just backing up to it, because it
was you know, there's video of the plane crash. You'll
remember it from last month where the plane takes off
and then you see the plane. It doesn't nosedive or anything.
It just sort of looks like it almost gently floats
down and then crashes. And then that would explain it
that they had fuel and so do they know when
(08:40):
the fuel lines were switched off?
Speaker 8 (08:44):
They were switched off three seconds after takeoff. And if
you just said, you know, experts were looking at this
video trying to figure out what could have gone wrong.
This is a safe airplane. It's never crashed and it's
more than two decades of service. It's flown more than
a billion people. What could have happened here? And they
just knew that based on the plane floating down, that
(09:05):
it was a double engine power failure. But why did
the power fail? And in the black box of the
journal also reports that the captain remained calm throughout this
while the first officer asked the captain why he turned
those switches off, and when the captain said he didn't
do it, that first officer began to panic. You can
(09:25):
imagine that first officer was in charge of flying the
plane on that specific leg to London. He's trying to
keep this plane in the air during the takeoff period
and loses all power. And the plane engines are not
like car engines. You can't just turn them back on.
They take a minute or two to warm up, get
spinning and create more thrust. And three seconds after takeoffs
(09:46):
there simply isn't the altitude and the time to allow
those engines to start to keep that plane in the air.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Wow, that is so scary. Sam Sweeney, thank you so
much for that information. I'm sure we're going to be
following this and as we try to figure out why
he did it. I mean did he have some sort
of a mental breakdown, did he have a beef with
the airline, was he in a fight with his wife.
I mean, there's so many possibilities of why that might
have happened. So we'll be watching and hopefully we'll talk
(10:14):
to you again soon. Thank you so much, Sam, Thank
you all right. Wow, I had not heard that. You know,
we had heard the preliminaries earlier this week that the
switches had been flipped off, but three seconds into the
flight and then the co pilot like, what do you
do at that point? That's just crazy. Let's get back
(10:35):
to some of the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. The House has passed a bill
to cancel billions of dollars in foreign aid and public
broadcasting spending.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
We clawed back nine billion dollars in taxpayer funds and
wasteful spending, fraud, waste, and abuse.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
House Speaker mic Johnson says the government is too large,
does too many things, and does almost nothing well. Democrats
argue the bill would hurt America's standing in the world
and would create a vacuum for China to fill. The
bill now heads to President Trump to be signed. The
president says he has ordered his attorney general to release
any and all pertinent grand jury testimony in the Jeffrey
(11:14):
Epstein case.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
Trump posted on truth Social saying, quote, based on the
ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I've asked
Attorney General Pam Bondy to produce any and all pertinent
grand jury testimony, subject to court approval.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
ABC's Nicole Dantonio says Bondy responded, saying her department was
ready to move the court today to unseal the grand
jury transcripts. The White House says President Trump's been diagnosed
with a chronic condition following a recent medical checkup after
he noticed mild swelling in his lower legs. Press Secretary
(11:48):
Caroline Levitt said yesterday that tests by the White House
Medical uniit A unit showed Trump has chronic veinous insufficiency
that's a relatively common condition in older adults.
Speaker 9 (11:58):
There was no evidence of vane frombosis or arterial disease.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Levitt said. Bruising scene on Trump's hand recently was consistent
with irritation from his frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
News HEBS is canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Host Stephen Colbert made the announcement on last night's show,
saying he just found out Wednesday night.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Next year will be our last season.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
The network will be ending the Late Show.
Speaker 10 (12:48):
In May, and yeah, I share your feeling.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
It's not just the end of our show, but it's
the end of the Late Show on CBS.
Speaker 10 (13:05):
I'm not being replaced.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
This is all just going away.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Paramount said it is a purely financial decision. It says
it is not related in any way to the show's performance, content,
or other things going on at Paramount. Colbert went on
a rant on air after CBS settled a lawsuit with
President Trump over a sixty minutes interview with Kamala Harris.
The Late Show was just nominated for a Primetime Emmy
(13:29):
Award for Outstanding Talk Show. That was their sixth nomination. Okay,
we were talking about the kiss cam couple caught at
the Coldplay concert. Hey, think of the alliteration there, and
wanted to know. I mean, like, have you known anybody
who's also been caught on a kisscam? Or do you
(13:52):
think they're making too big of a deal about it?
Just whatever you're thinking about it, we would love to
hear about it.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Here.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
We got one. Let's see if I can do it right.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
I know somebody who was caught on a kiss cam
and he was married, and the lady sitting next to
him was his girlfriend, and the in law saw the
kiss cam and that was the end of his marriage.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Oh so we heard too that this guy who's a
CEO of a company apparently having an affair with his
HR person is of course married, but then everybody dives
into social media to start looking for stuff, and his
wife apparently has changed her status on social media or
something like that. So see what happens again. I kind
(14:40):
of feel bad for him and kind of don't. A
jury has awarded nearly fifty million dollars to a man
who remains in a coma nearly a year after being
struck by an LA City sanitation truck while crossing the
street in Encinow. The city agreed before trial that the
truck driver's negligence was the sole cause of the accident.
Ellie Kenny Sheriff's deputies have busted up an illegal marijuana
(15:02):
grow at a house in Hacienda Heights and seized three
million dollars worth of pot. Police say they'd been bypassing
the electrical panel and meter for several years. So cal
Edison confirms the home was using you about eighteen thousand
dollars worth of electricity a month. A breeze is about
to blow through Burbank. Avello Airlines announced earlier this week
that it was closing down its West Coast operations and
(15:24):
would stop offering flights out of its hub in Burbank
in December. Well, another low cost airline, Breeze, says it'll
take over many of a Vello's abandoned roots starting in
March of twenty twenty six. Let's say good morning now
to the host of home on KFI. It's our house, Whisper,
our very own Dean, Sharp and Dean. We've got summertime,
we've got hot temperatures, We've already had several fires and
(15:47):
lots of evacuations. So let's talk about fire season and
preparing to keep the flames from taking away your house.
Speaker 10 (15:55):
Good morning, Amy. Yeah, it's one of those things that
you know, honestly, people are like, oh, do we have
to talk about this again? And believe me, we feel
the same way. It's just seems like just a couple
of weeks ago we were talking about the Palisades and
the eaten byres and all of the issues related to them.
But the fact of the matter is, you know, it's Midsummer.
(16:18):
You know, the All Star Game was this week, and
the grasses on the hills that were still a little
bit green just a few weeks ago, they're golden brown now,
and the weather is heating up and continuing now to
dry out all of that fuel on the hillsides. So
the fact of the matter is fire season isn't right
(16:39):
here at this moment. But the fact is, if we
are going to get ready, if we're going to get
our homes ready, there are things we've got to get
going on right now, right now, by the time that
the winds kick up and we have another fire season
upon us. So this Sunday, that's all we're talking about.
We're talking about rationally, in the smartest way possible, prepping
(17:02):
your home. And I say that just because there's so
much information out there, misinformation really about all the things
that could be done to a home. I don't want
you to go overkill, but I want your home ready.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Okay, So you talking about this all morning Sunday, but
let's get a little sneak preview of a couple of
the things that we can do to get our homes
ready now before the flames get close. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (17:27):
Well, you know, there are two phases that you really
need to think about. One is when the fire is near,
and then two, what's your home going to do when
the flames are actually here? So near? And here when
the fire is near? Of course, the most important lesson
that we have all learned is getting ember proof vents
(17:50):
installed on your home. That's for your attic space or
if you've got a raised foundation, in other words, you
have a crawl space under your house, then you've got
to include the crawl space too, but the attic space
especially especially. And the reason is we have learned that
ninety percent of the homes that burn in a wildfire
a vent ignite long before the flames actually arrived at
(18:14):
the house. That means that ninety percent of the homes
out there that ignited in the Palisades fire and the
Eaten fire recently and all the fires before that, are
being affected by embers floating through the air, tiny embers
that get sucked into an attic space and then actually
start things on fire. So if we simply, if there's
(18:35):
nothing else that you do this season but order emberproof
vents for your attic in your crawl space, you are
cutting down the risk of your home burning in a
wildfire by an extreme amount. It's the biggest single thing
that you could do to your home.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Okay, then, I know we've talked about this before, but
I think it'd be a good reminder. So if you
haven't gotten those emberproof vents and so you order them
today and a fire breaks out tomorrow and you haven't
had a chance to install them, Okay, just creating a
what if there are things that you can do? Because
you said like you said that the stuff gets into
your house. So say a fire is getting close, and
(19:15):
you can do it kind of a stop gap just
to hopefully save your house.
Speaker 10 (19:20):
And believe me, no, embers are not difficult. I mean
it's not like, oh, there's no stopping that little tiny,
you know, glowing thing. Absolutely you can stop it. And
if there's a wildfire nearby and you've got a ladder
on hand and a roll of duct tape, something as
simple as that, or a couple of pieces of cardboard
to block those vent openings, just close them up. Your
(19:43):
attic doesn't need to be breathing during that wildfire event
for the few hours that that's going on. Just tape
them closed. Just tape them closed. We just can't afford
to have embers sliding past those vents and into your
attic space.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
All right, I know you're going to have so much
more information that is critical to making sure that your
home doesn't burn up in a wildfire. You know, they're
cropping up everywhere. We just have that one in Riverside
and it just boom and was one thousand acres and
people had to get out of their homes. So we
need to get them ready now so you can be
listening to Dean Sharp all day Sunday nine to noon.
(20:21):
I guess it's not all day, it's three hours on
Sunday nine to noon. And also you can also listen
to Dean and at Home with Dean Sharp from six
to eight on Saturday morning, and you can follow him
at Home with Dean Dean Sharp. Thank you so much
for the valuable, valuable information.
Speaker 10 (20:39):
Thanks Amy, all right, we'll talk.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
To you soon. State lawmaker from Huntington Beach says it's
time to scrap California's high speed rail project. Republican State
Senator Tony Strickland says, with the federal government revoking four
billion dollars for the project, it'll be stopped when Governor
Newsom leaves office.
Speaker 10 (20:55):
By whoever the next governor of California is.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Because it's a highly unpopular project in the people in
California know there are dollars being wasted.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
The project is years behind schedule, and its budget has
ballooned to more than one hundred billion dollars. It was
supposed to connect La to San Francisco, but so far
not a single piece of track has been put down.
State lawmakers in California want to keep their personal contact
information private. After the shootings of two lawmakers in Minnesota
last month.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
A proposed measure would block journalists from accessing lawmakers addresses, emails,
and phone numbers via voter registration records. This is despite
there being no evidence the Minnesota shooter used these types
of records. While voter registration data is mostly confidential, it
is currently accessible to some, including journalists cal Matters reports.
Advocates for press freedom argued that change could reduce accountability.

says enhanced technology is already working well in the UK.
It can differentiate between drinks and chemical explosives.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Technology allowing that, or to be able to allow that,
has been in effect for quite some time, and HEAs
haven't employed it.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
The TSA hasn't budgeted for the scanning technology or trained
employees yet, so Greenberg says we probably won't see any
changes to current policy until at least twenty twenty seven. Tonight,

year old man's been charged with murder and the shooting

At six o five its handle on the news. Public
broadcasting will not be getting federal funding any longer now
that lawmakers have passed DOGE cuts. Let's get back to
(24:31):
some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
four hour news room. A Democratic Congressman from Orange County
says innocent Americans have been caught up in federal immigration sweeps.
Luke Carea says a lawyer was arrested this week at

Daniel Martindale CAFI News.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
The University of California system is announced it's looking at
a possible tuition and fee increase. It may also lower
the amount that feeser used to support financial aid. In
twenty twenty one, you see implemented a program where tuition
stays fixed for students based on their enrollment year. You
see leaders say forty five percent of tuition funds support
financial aid for low income students, with a tuition increase
(26:01):
cap of five percent per year. As the program ends
after the fall of twenty twenty six, you see plans
to raise that cap to seven percent. They're also planning
to reduce their financial aid share to thirty five percent
and introduce an additional yearly increase beyond inflation. President Trump
says he's going to sue the Wall Street Journal for
printing a fake letter from Trump to Jeffrey Epstein on
(26:23):
Epstein's fiftieth birthday that was back in two thousand and three.
Trump posted on true Social yesterday that the journal was
warned the letter was fake and that if it was
printed a lawsuit would follow. New Jersey Democratic Senator Corey
Booker says it's hard to take Trump at his word.
Speaker 12 (26:37):
So we already know there's a pattern of Donald Trump
and that kind of creepiness. This letter shouldn't surprise anybody,
and the Wall Street Journal wouldn't have taken the risk
against his lawsuits to publish it if they didn't believe
and have it verified.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Trump says the words in the letter are not the
way he speaks and that he doesn't draw pictures. Time
to get in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donaho Morning, Courtney.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Good Morning, Happy Friday, Happy Friday.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
So apparently price matching is a thing at some big
box retailers, but at least one is saying that we're
not doing it anymore.
Speaker 13 (27:12):
Yeah, it's Target and they're pulling the plug on the
program that matches prices with the competition. So they're going
to continue to match prices within its own system. For example,
if there's a difference between an item's cost online and
in its stores. But it's no longer going to match
prices with rivals that did it with Target Amazon, for example,
But Target's policy now more closely resembles Walmart, which only
(27:35):
matches prices between its own stores and its website.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Walmart managers, by.
Speaker 13 (27:40):
The way, also have the final decision on whether to
go through with the match. But Target has definitely struggled
lately to rejuvenate growth. They've had choppy store traffic, soft demand,
inventory missteps. But if you need to do a price match,
that's going to change on July twenty eighth, So head
in there soon if you have a plan.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
You know what, I never I don't do that, but
I have a friend who will do that.
Speaker 13 (28:05):
Yeah, I feel like I don't have time anymore to
I used to use coupons too, for example, and even
make coupons anywhere. Yeah. I mean you have the digital finding, yeah,
but even finding the apps to get it half the time.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
I'm just like, all right, just get it by it.
Speaker 13 (28:22):
So I feel like I'm giving away myself these companies
I got you out.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Lululemon, uh makes a lot of money, but maybe not
quite as much as they have been.
Speaker 13 (28:32):
Yeah, so there's a couple of red flags going up
at Lululemon. Investment firm Jeffries has noticed that the company's
black leggings are piling up.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
At outlet stores.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Oh that's not a good sign.
Speaker 13 (28:44):
But I want to note, as a parent of a
tween between girl, these pants are rarely discounted, and these
tweens love Lulu Lemon. But Jeffreys analyst Randy Connick says
it's an alarming issue for Lululemon. The retailer is trying
to pull itself out of rough patch, and he says
that it shows a demand seems to be slowing down
for the company's clothes. Lula Lemon's been trying to fend
(29:07):
off a lot of competition. We've been seeing it rise
with Alo Yoga Vieori. I see commercials for that all
the time. But keep in mind, Lulu Lemon shares have
declined more than forty percent this year. But no comment
so far from Lula Lemon on that investment report, But.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Be watching in case there's big sales.
Speaker 13 (29:26):
Oh, yes, don't worry, I'm gonna be there. I'll probably
let you know, all right, my daughter will be there.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah, So Lulu Lemon. We may see some prices coming down,
but for Peacock, the prices are going up.
Speaker 13 (29:38):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, we are seeing Comcast is raising
the price of Peacock by three bucks a month. The
version with advertising will increase to eleven dollars, so one
with ad without ads will get a bump of seventeen,
a bump to seventeen. Excuse me, but the change in
prices will hit new customers next Wednesday. But if you
already have Peacock, you have a little bit of time.
(30:00):
Your bill's going to be more expensive after August twenty second.
And by the way, this is the biggest hike in
Peacock's five year history. It's going to be even more
expensive than rivals HBO, Max and Hulu.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
And they don't even have that much stuff.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
I know, Like, how can you get it on regular NBC?
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Well, I mean you actually have to watch TV when
the shows are on, and that is problematic these days.
Speaker 13 (30:22):
Right, Yeah, that's sometimes what I feel with the Housewives.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Sometimes I have.
Speaker 13 (30:26):
To go there in order to get my fill of
Housewives of Salt Lake City.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Okay, Bloomberg's Courtney Dona getting in your business like we

were talking about that cold Play, the couple caught on
the kiss cam that they were cheating, and there's a
meme that's gone out says cold Play hasn't made a
single in years. Last night it made two.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Get it?
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I got it?
Speaker 10 (31:02):
Yes, get it?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Yes, have anything to say about it? Ever been caught
on the kiss cam when you shouldn't have been where
you were? Want to fess up? You can do it
anonymously on the iHeartRadio app. Yeah, just hit up the
click or click the talkback button. Yesterday we were talking
about how I was up in Medford and my mom
and I were watching Tiny Holmes and I got a
nice message about Medford about.
Speaker 10 (31:23):

she's from Medford, Oregon.

have impersonating a firefighter during the Pacific Palisades wildfire in January,
is now facing twenty eight felony charges, including assault with
a deadly weapon, trespassing, pointing a laser at planes and helicopters, perjury,

his property was seized and towed away. A former Orange
County Shriff's deputy's pleaded guilty to attacking his girlfriend. He
was immediately sentenced to three years probation. Kyle Picard got

Department in July twenty eleven, no longer works for them.

California for information on illegal immigrants who are in jail.
The Department of Justice is looking for names and criminal records.
We're just minutes away from handling the news this morning.
Stephen Colbert is being canceled. What led NBC to pull
the plug on the Emmy nominated late night show. Let's
say good morning now to ABC's Will Gans. Will you
(32:46):
may have heard a little tickling of the ivory and
if you want to get a whole lot of that,
we can watch it now.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
That's right. The piano man is the star of a
new documentary on HBO Max. It's called Billy Joel and
so it goes, and it's a two parter and part
one is out today on HBO Max. And this documentary
is like, it's amazing. It's like a really unprecedented look
at the life and struggles of Billy Joel that really
(33:14):
fueled his music over the last several decades. He is
in it, so he worked on the documentary as well.
He narrates a lot of it. And then you also
get to hear from people like Bruce Springsteen and Pink
and John Lennon and like not John Lennon, Paul McCartney,
excuse me, and you know, just talking about how his
(33:36):
music has has you know, inspired them and changed the
game in so many ways. And and it's also like,
you know, you would think with him being involved that
you wouldn't get a lot of sort of the grungier details,
but those are in there too. You know, we're talking
affairs and substance use disorder and and you know, mental
health struggles and things like that, and like it's it's
(33:59):
it's a pretty rivet documentary and yeah it's it's only
two parts, so we will have to wait a week
for part two to come out, but that first part
is out today.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Okay, So you mentioned affairs and don't tell me because
I don't want to watch it. But I wonder if
that means he cheated on Christy Brinkley. Okay, don't tell us,
don't tell us.
Speaker 4 (34:18):
I won't.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
I won't tell you.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Okay, that sounds great. And where is it again? On
It's on Max or.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
HBO Max HBO Max. I think they officially changed the
name back like last week or something, but because of algamation, yeah, yeah,
of those words works, I feel.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yeah, the app on my TV now shows up again
as HBO Max, which why they got rid of it,
we don't know. But that's a whole other talk. Okay,
So if you're looking for something just kind of light, sweet, silly,
you have another streamer for us this weekend.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Yes, on Netflix, the series Too Much. It's a rom
com series and it's Lena Dunham's big return to television
after Girls you know about more than a decade to go,
and this one is loosely based on her real life
experience moving to London and falling in love.
Speaker 8 (35:06):
And the main.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Character here is played by Meg Stalter, who is on
Hacks and she's so funny on that show.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Wait, where do you play on Hacks?
Speaker 2 (35:16):
She's Jimmy's assistant or not no longer assistant Yeah okay, yeah,
the one that is now running that firm with him.
So you know, she's very quirky, very funny. This is
this would not be a good one to watch with
the whole family. You know, it's a it's an adult
rom com. I would say language and stuff like that.
(35:37):
But it's really great and you know a lot of
people are saying that, you know, it was worth the
wait for Lena Dunham to come back for something like this.
The love interest is played by Will Sharp, who was
in season two of The White Lotus. He was Aubrey
Plaza's husband in that season. Uh so you might remember him.
But it's about a woman who moved to London for
(35:59):
work and falls in love with the musician while she's
over there, and it's their love story over the course
of ten episodes, and what.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Could possibly go wrong with falling in love with a
musician across the ocean? Okay?
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Thanksactly, exactly okay.

what to make of that, but I will be seated

over several weeks, but that the president rejected that one.

The measure would block journalists from accessing lawmakers addresses, emails,
and phone numbers via voter registration records. Advocates for press
freedom argue that that change could reduce accountability for lawmakers.
