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 (00:12):
KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. It's
time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy Kig.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Well, good morning, Welcome to Monday. It's five o'clock, straight up.
This is your wake up call for July twenty eighth. Yes,
we are approaching the end of July.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
How many days till Christmas?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
As summer zooms by, well, it's four months and twenty
seven days roughly. Okay, I have a fun fact to
get your day started. Thanks for joining us. By the way,
I hope you had a great weekend. Nomophobia I think
most of it, most of us have it.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
It's the fear of being without your smartphone. It stands
for no mobile phone phobia and can cause seriously symptoms
like physical symptoms. Remember, I don't know if you remember,
we talked to the guy who wrote Unplugged on how
to break up with your cell phone. He said, you
kind of go through withdrawals. Symptoms include sweating, shaking, agitation,
(01:24):
and even breathing difficulties.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Research has shown that no mophobia can effect up to
seventy three percent of all of us. It's true, you do.
It's freak you when you don't have your phone with.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Us, especially you know, depending on the situation, like if
you're working and you need it. That makes me freak
out if I leave my phone at home.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
The one time when I really freaked out was when
I was going into Ralph's and I noted, it's one
of my phone got stolen.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I got back to the car and realized I didn't
have my phone. I literally just started freaking out and
had all of those little shaking and agitation and breathing difficulties. No,
as it turned out, I had reason to. But in general,
I think a little nomophobia is probably good for us,
very good.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
I feel naked without my.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Phone, I know, isn't it stupid? It is, it's really
it's difficult to get.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
Like when you realize you don't have it on you, you
you'll be you could be halfway between from Burbank to
Santa Monica.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
You'll stop and come back.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Oh, I know, it's it's.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
There's something although whenever you don't have it and you
realize you don't have and there's nothing you can do
about it.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
There's something really freeing and relieving.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
It's horrible, horrible freedom.
Speaker 7 (02:36):
I know.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I got to I'll loan you in my book Sam.
We got Sam in for KNO today. The book is
called Unplug on How to Break Up with your Cell Phone,
and it's actually it's a pretty good read and it
makes you realize how attached we are to these things.
I need that.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I need to take a look at that.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
All right, here's what's a head on wake up call.
Got a lot going on today. Two cars racing on
the freeway may have caused a tanker truck crash in
Aguadults say that shut down the freeway overnight. The crash
happened around five o'clock yesterday afternoon. On the fourteen. Northbound
lanes were closed because of fuel leaking out of the tanker.
A witness told the CHP two of the cars in
(03:11):
the crash appeared to have been racing right before the collision.
Law enforcement continues to search for one of two grenades
found in a storage unit in Santa Monica. One of
those grenades detonated in La County Sheriff's training facility, killing
three Sheriff's deputies. Sheriff's personnel say they've searched the area
around the deadly explosion, but so far have not been
(03:32):
able to find the other grenade. President Trump says the
new trade deal with the European Union is the biggest
deal ever made. The President and the head of the
European Union Commission announced the deal yesterday in Scotland. We're
going to find out what's in it. We'll call it
the big beautiful trade Deal. With ABC's Karen Travers. That's
coming up in just a couple of minutes. How are
(03:53):
the markets reacting to the deal As President Trump's tariff
deadline looms just like four or five days away. We'll
talk about that as we get in Your Business with
Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe. Israel has announced daily pauses in military
action and gaza to allow for humanitarian aid to get in.
We're going to get the latest from ABC's Jordana Miller
in Jerusalem on that coming up during wake up Call.
(04:16):
And there's a hot new dating app out there to
protect us from predators, but the app may need protection
of its own. ABC's Gim Ryan's going to join us
before the end of the hour to tell us why
let's get started with some of the stories coming out
of the CAFI twenty four hour newsroom. More anti immigration
enforcement protests have been held near the Metropolitan Detention Center
(04:37):
in downtown LA. It's not clear if there were any
new arrests or clashes with police. Protesters on Saturday marched
along Alameda Street, later headed to the First Street Bridge
and into Boil Heights. On Friday, protesters blocked the road
at Eliso and Alameda at about ten o'clock in the evening.
The crowd got cleared out a few hours later. The
White House s is the Trump administration is committed to
(04:57):
enforcing federal immigration laws and to poort criminal illegal aliens,
and that the opinion of an organization founded by self
proclaimed communists is irrelevant. News brought to you by Simper Solaris.
California Democratic Senator Alex Padia wants to help ilegal immigrants
become permanent residents.
Speaker 8 (05:16):
The Democrats says he'll present legislation that will allow an
easy way for those here who are not US citizens
to achieve a pathway to citizenship. Idia says, if you
have lived here for seven years, haven't committed any crimes,
and have contributed to the community, you should be eligible.
The bill is co sponsored by ten other Democratic US
senators and Independent Bernie Sanders, Tammy Trihio KFI News.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Legendary filmmaker George Lucas has helped close out his first
ever San Diego Comic Con. He gave fans a preview
of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art yesterday. It's expected
to open next year in La Look told fans the
museum is going to be a temple to the people.
Have you seen it? You see when you're driving down
the one ten. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Again, I've seen it from the air too. It's literally
got a lawn in trees growing on top of it.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, it's very very It does look like something out
of Star Wars, doesn't it. All Right, let's take a
first look at your morning commute and say good morning
to Will Coleschreiber, Who's going to tell us about that
big rig that overturned in Agua Dulce that's caused all
kinds of kinds of problems on the fourteen.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
And you mentioned this being event a result of some
racing there on the fourteen, so not the actual truck,
just in the cars around it. The northbound side of
the fourteen Aguadal say, two right lanes are blocked there
and one of them was a tanker truck to one
of the vehicles involved in this crash, was that tanker truck?
No fire, no explosion, but the two right lanes are
(06:50):
going to be blocked for a while, and that is
really jamming up your northbound drive. Luckily, the southbound side
is the heavier going to work volume, so hopefully we'll
get through this quickly as a mop up list left
that the fourteen Freeway southbound Solidad Canyon. We've got a
crash in the center divider as well on the other
side of the freeway.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I'm will Cole Schreibert.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Let us know when you're stuck in a jam. Pound
two fifty on yourself, keyword KFI traffic.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Let's say good morning now to ABC's Karen Travers at
the White House. Karen, the President's got another one. This
one's pretty big, the trade deal with the European Union.
Speaker 9 (07:24):
Yeah, the President announced us yesterday after meeting with the
head of the European Commission, Ursula Vanderlain and his golf
course in Scotland. Fifteen percent tariff on most goods coming
into the United States from the European Union, including cars
and pharmaceuticals. That's one of the biggest exports to the
US from the European Union. The EU will be open
to trade with this country if there a terriffs, and
(07:47):
they're also going to purchase from the US about seven
hundred and fifty billion dollars worth of energy and make
a commitment to investing about six hundred billion dollars in
the US on top of what they're already doing. There
will still be fifty percent tariff and steal an aluminum,
so if we get it to many countries there that
stays in place. The President's not budging on that. But
the big thing is that this could have.
Speaker 10 (08:07):
Been a lot higher.
Speaker 9 (08:08):
It was a thirty percent tariff that the President had threatened,
but that tariff now will be said at fifteen percent
going forward.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Okay, well I know that you're there.
Speaker 10 (08:16):
Unfortunately, Yeah, yeah, we got.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
To leave it there. Karen, thanks so much for the update.
We appreciate it. We'll touch you soon. H That was
a quick one. We usually have her for a couple
of minutes, but we didn't have her for very long.
This morning. I have more questions about this trade deal. Like,
sounds great for US, right, fifteen percent tariff for this
stuff coming in plus six hundred let me see, where's
(08:39):
my notes? She just said it's seven hundred and fifty
billion dollars worth of energy that the EU is going
to buy and also the e is going to invest
six hundred billion dollars in the US. Sounds great for us.
What did we give? I mean like literally, it sounds
like we just we get the great end of the deal.
I mean we must have had to give something. But
(09:00):
we'll see, and it'll be interesting to see. Two. If
this deal, because the EU is the biggest trading partner
that we have, if that's going to help facilitate more deals,
because remember that tariff deadline is coming up on August first,
which is this Friday, so we will be watching and
(09:21):
following that. Let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A
man in Michigan is facing possible terrorism charges for a
knife attack at a walmart. Eleven people were stabbed on Saturday.
All are expected to survive. The local sheriff praised the
quick response by law enforcement officers who arrived within just
(09:42):
minutes of getting the call about the stabbing. He also
says a group of bystanders stepped in and held the
accused attacker in the parking lot until they got there.
A possible problem with landing gear has forced airline passengers
to quickly get off a plane at Denver International Airport.
ABC's wing but says the American Airlines flight was taking
off on Saturday when smoke started pouring from the plane.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
This is exactly why flight attendants want us to pay
attention when they explain the emergency slides passengers had to
use them. When smoke filled American Airlines flight thirty twenty three,
which had to abort takeoff from Denver over the weekend,
there was a thud the plane shuttered, leading passenger Mark
Circus to state, that's not good.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Okay, I shouldn't laugh. He said. Some passenger's trip going
down the slide, tumbling onto the concrete runway near the end.
Just one person was hurt. You know, I just flew
because I went up to Medford and I always pay
attention to the safety information. I know that, like you
look around and nobody is, but I always get the
(10:46):
little card out, and I at least look at it.
And then I also do that thing where they said
look for your nearest exit. I always at least check
that because I know a lot of people don't and
it's for stuff just like that. And luckily, you know,
one person got hurt, but otherwise everybody's okay. And there
were like one hundred and fifty people on the plane.
So that is my word to the wise for this morning. Yes,
(11:08):
say yes, yes, I.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Have that same superstition I will pay attention to even
no matter how many times they do the exact same
routine and the cards are all the same, I'll still
flip through the safety cards. It's a superstition at this point.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Well, you know what, it's just plain smart, Sam, just
plain smart.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
On Southwest, I always trying to sit by the exit
because you can't anymore. You can't pick your seats as
easily now. But I'm out that door. If if they
tell us to get out, I'm gone.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Okay. Just know that if there's an evacuation, will's going
to plow you down to get to it first. Okay.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers is pressuring the Trump administration
to release more files on Jeffrey Epstein. California and Democratic
Congressman Rocanna is part of the group, and since Democrats
have been pushing for the release of the files for
a while.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Well, the American people desperately need is for all of
the evidence of the files to come out so they
can decide for themselves.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Joint legislation put forward by Kana and Kentucky Republican Congressman
Tom Massey would force a House vote on the release
of the Epstein files. As an intense heat wave settles
over parts of the eastern US, health officials say it's
important to know when it can turn into a life
threatening situation. Doctor Darien Sutton says you need to pay
(12:22):
attention to the first symptoms of heat exhaustion.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
They can present as headache or dizziness, as our brains
are very sensitive to even small changes in temperature and
profuse sweating and thirst.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah, I've had that happen. I was in Arizona. It
was like one hundred and twenty degrees and it's very
scary too, because you start to get really loopy and
you start you stop sweating, and you feel a chill
even though you're completely overheated. Yeah. Good not something to
mess with. The increasing popularity of AI is reportedly causing
the biggest surge in electricity demand in decades. Bloomberg News
(12:57):
says companies served by the largest US power grid will
spend a record sixteen billion dollars to make sure there
is enough electricity, and it says data centers are to blame.
Target is ending a decade's old perk for customers.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
Target will no longer price match its competitors.
Speaker 11 (13:14):
So even if you find an identical product for less
on Amazon or Walmart, it will no longer match that price.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
That's a bummer. ABC's Rena Royce's The policy goes into
effect today. Target's CEO says it expects some prices that
it stores to go up because of tariffs. The Dodgers
take on the Reds in Cincinnati today. First pitch goes
out at four pm. Listen to all the Dodger games

in Gaza to allow for humanitarian aid to get in.
We'll get the latest from ABC's Jordona Miller in Jerusalem.
Coming up next, Speed Dumping. Great, it's five point twenty
(14:08):
on your Monday morning wake up call. Good morning, I'm
Amy King. Thanks so much for starting your workday and
your work week, or maybe it's your vacation week, but anyway,
we're glad you're here. Here's what we're following in the
KFI twenty four hour news room. The Trump administration makes
its appeal today to get a stay of a temporary
restraining order that blocks ice immigration sweeps across southern California.
(14:29):
A judge found the immigration patrols were done without reasonable
suspicion and that the government was denying detainees access to council.
The hearing is scheduled for this afternoon. A woman has
been injured in a rockslide in the Hollywood Hills. Falling
rocks on Laurel Canyon Boulevard hit the woman's car, injuring
her yesterday afternoon. She was taken to the hospital for evaluation.
(14:52):
Fire Cruise say the rockslide may have been caused by
a broken water pipe. Heavy water was seen flowing from
the top of the slide area. Yacht has crashed into
a sea wall and Marina del Ray. It happened around
three Saturday afternoon at Fisherman's Village. The boat appears to
have had a mechanical failure, and officials say the captain
really didn't have a choice but to hit the wall
in order to prevent further damage. At six oh five,
(15:16):
it's Handle on the news. Trump's got another one. It's
a big, beautiful trade deal. Handle's going to weigh in
on that. Let's say, good morning now to ABC's Jordana
Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana, the IDF may finally be bending
a bit because of the world wide outcry over the
crisis that has taken hold in Gaza. What's the latest?
Speaker 10 (15:38):
That's right?
Speaker 12 (15:39):
Really, he is really Prime Minister giving in to tremendous
international pressure outcry over the situation in Gaza. Widespread hunger,
and in the last week or so, we've seen the
numbers of children that are malnourished, We've seen increasing numbers
(16:01):
be admitted to hospitals, we've seen increasing numbers of those
children die. So this situation had really retire. Really Prime
Minister finally had to reverse course here and allow much
more aid into the Gaza strip. So starting on Sunday,
(16:22):
we saw the Israeli Army declare tactical pauses in combat
for ten hours in three different parts of Gaza, the North,
center and south. The Israeli forces cleared out and stopped operating.
That is, no artillery, no ground combat, no obviously no
(16:45):
air strikes, and Gozans were able to access more aid
at both the distribution sites and from convoys of un
AID that came in and Natonio also approving safe routes
more of them that will be open from six am
until eleven pm every day to bring in un trucks.
(17:09):
And we saw the renewal of air drops. Both the
Israeli Army dropped packages of maratis. So we've seen a
real change in the position of the Israelis in the
last forty eight hours.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Okay, and Jordana, just a couple of things to follow
up on those tactical pauses. We've seen those before. It
was a while ago, but we've seen those before, haven't we.
Speaker 12 (17:38):
We have it's been about a year, yeah, since Israel
stopped you know, had tactical pauses in areas for usually
around ten hours a day. They've proved to be effective
in the past. For example, they allowed the rollout of
a major vaccine to protect the children will go from
(18:00):
polio when that broke out earlier in the war. And
they were connected to also the delivery and distribution of aid.
You know, the UN shares some of the blame in
the in the problem with aid, distributing it, getting their
trucks and their manpower and their logistics in order. Hamas
(18:22):
also has some of the blame for siphoning off some
of the aid, controlling it, selling it back at outrageous prices.
They have contributed to the hunger problem in the Gaza
Strip that the Israelis have as well. The Israeli Prime
Minister again denies an intentional policy of starvation, but there
is hunger across the Gaza Strip, and most Israeli officials
(18:46):
now you know, will say it. The Israeli Army had
been warning the political Achalon for weeks that this situation
was deteriorating. And remember when it deteriorates for Hamas, for well,
not really for Hamas, because they session of food. When
it deteriors for the people of Gaza, ordinary Palestinians. It
also deteriors for the hostages. Right, there's fifty hostages, and
(19:08):
we know from those that have come out that at
times when aid was limited, they were fed less food
as well.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, because we're hearing stories that you know, the parents
are feeding their children first and sometimes they're going out
with going without food for a few days at a
time in extreme circumstances.
Speaker 13 (19:28):
That's right.
Speaker 12 (19:29):
Remember that has been in place for eight weeks, has
been you know, has been plagued with problems. It probably
should have been shut down weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Wait what should have been shut down?
Speaker 12 (19:45):
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation be very you know the system
that the Israelis and the Americans. President Trump pumped sixty
million dollars into this system. It said, wow, you know
people are coming, We're delivering aids, you know, directly to Palestinians. Well,
and ninety million sounds like a lot of meals. But
(20:05):
if you spread that out over eight weeks and over
two million people on God, they can do the map.
It's not enough. People are not able to have three
meals a day. And remember the meals that they're getting too,
they they also require cooking there's not fuel, there's not
uh you know, there's the short of electricity. These are
(20:28):
not ready made meals there, you know, their dry products.
So and there were people getting killed every day. I
mean it was the system. You know, we can we
can look back and say that it was. It had
many problems and it to be really.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Ope, we might have lost her completely on that one. Okay,
open here here me Yeah, we can your your satellite
phone gear drive.
Speaker 12 (20:58):
Yeah. Oh said the system was a failure. Really and
now these reelis are you know, giving thing as they should.
They're providing adequate aid, but they're also getting nothing in
return from it from Hamas right, right, So it was
supposed to be a kind of leverage point for the
talks and you know that has been taken off the
(21:22):
table now.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
All right, Jerdanah Miller in Jerusalem, thank you so much
for the update. Glad to hear that some aid is
getting back in. We'll talk to you again soon.
Speaker 12 (21:30):
Yeah, thank god.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
All right. Explosives founded a home and Pacoima have prompted
a call to the LAPD's bomb squad. Family members were
apparently cleaning out a dead relative's home on Saturday. They
found a box that had explosives in it. They took
them to LAPD's Foothill Station. Investigators say the items appeared
to be military grade, leading the LAPD to consult with
(21:52):
explosive ordnance disposal experts from Camp Pendleton. Officials did determine
the items were safe to move. Authorities still searching for
or a missing grenade related to the explosion that killed
three LA County Sheriff's detectives in East LA. Two grenades
had been moved from a storage unit and an apartment
complex in Santa Monica to the Sheriff's training facility more
than a week ago. One of them blew up. Law
(22:14):
enforcement expert Bruce Thomas says the grenades had been X
rayed and determined to be inert.
Speaker 11 (22:19):
So in this case, transport them in their martial explosives
vehicle would not have been a problem, but clearly something
went wrong.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is leading
the search for the missing grenade. The thirties are investigating
a shooting death of a man at a seven eleven
in Lawndale. The shooting happened just after eight last night
at Prairie Avenue in Manhattan Beach Boulevard. The man's shot
was not a clerk at the convenience store. Two men
were seen running away, but police haven't said if they
(22:48):
are suspects in the shooting. The union representing more than
twelve thousand grocery store employees in southern California has authorized
a strike against Stater Brothers' Markets.
Speaker 11 (22:59):
United and Commercial Workers has not set a date yet
for a strike against the San Bernardino based chain. The
union's labor contract with Stater Brothers, another major supermarket chains
in southern California, expired on March second. The UFCW says
this is the first ever strike vote taken against the
eighty nine year old Stater Brothers Mark Mayfield Kofi News.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
A strike that could have shut down hundreds of safeways
across northern California has been called off. That's because workers
reached a last minute deal with the parent company, Albertson's
over the weekend. It includes raises, stronger job protections, and
better retirement and healthcare for twenty five thousand employees. The
deal comes as Albertson's faces and backlash over it's failed
(23:40):
twenty four billion dollar merger with Kroger when we come back,
how the markets are reacting to the deal, the big
beautiful tariff, not tariff deal, but trade deal. As President
Trump's tariff deadline looms just days away, we're going to
talk about that. We'll getting your business with Bloomberg's Courtney

a possible shooting during a house party in Encino. Shooting
was reported Saturday night, right next door to the home

where American Idol executive Robin Kay and her husband Tom
de Luca were shot to death earlier this month. Police
broke up the party, but then say they didn't find
any evidence that there had been a shooting. Neighbors say

They are going to invest into the United States six
hundred billion dollars more than they're investing already.
Speaker 1 (27:31):

energy and military equipment, So along with fifteen percent terrafts,
the EU is going to buy seven hundred and fifty
billion dollars worth of energy and invest another six hundred
billion dollars in the US. President Trump is meeting today

Speaker 5 (28:04):
It's not just a legislative paths, it's which legislative pathway.
It's not just direct democracy as it relates to a
special election and a ballot, but it's what you put
on the ballot and what's considered what's not considered.
Speaker 8 (28:14):

News songwriter and the satirist Tom LARRR, who rose to
fame in the fifties and sixties, has died.

Oh the world seems in tune on a spring afternoon
when we're pisoning pigeons in labar Well.
Speaker 11 (28:43):
He worked most of his life as a teacher, with
jobs at Harvard, MIT, and the University of California, Santa Cruz.
It was Larr's dark humor that made him popular. His
takes on taboo subjects like drug addiction, religion, and sexuality
were unlike what most Americans were hearing at the time.
His work went on to influence singers like Randy Newman,
Weird Al Yankovic, and Harry Sure. Letter was found dead

Speaker 1 (29:11):
It's five forty. Time to get in your business with
Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe. Welcome back, Courtney.
Speaker 10 (29:17):
Oh thank you. It's rough to be sick.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
The slummer isn't sick the worst. I just hate it.
Speaker 10 (29:25):
And on top of it, my kids were sick too,
So is this a whole houseful of not so much fun?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Okay, I'm glad.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
To be back, and we're glad you're feeling better, So
let's get right in it. I wanted to ask you
first about how the markets are responding to the big,
beautiful trade deal that Trump and the EU just announced.
Speaker 10 (29:46):
Well, it's green on the screen this morning. We're looking
at that slightly. Yeah, they're up, slightly down. Futures are
up about thirty points SMT futures for us a little
bit more, up about two tenths of a percent. They're
definitely responding well to any sort of trade deal. It's
giving a little more confidence that some of the trade
issues are going to be put behind us. But I
(30:08):
want to point out this is a very pivotal week
on Wall Street. We have a fire hose of key events,
one right after the other. First of all, the Federer
Serve meets, and it's expected that there will be no
change to interest rates, but we're going to be waiting
to see what Shared J. Powell has to say about
the path for interest rates, and especially now that he's
getting a lot of pressure from President Trump. So that
(30:31):
is on Wednesday, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Parent, Met and Microsoft.
They're all giving us quarterly report cards. So anytime any
one of those big mega companies comes out and tells
us what's happening on nderneath, that was a big snieze
behind me. So anytime we hear any one of that,
that could be a big game changer for the markets.
We could see a change in direction. And on Friday
(30:53):
we have the government out with the July jobs report.
But don't forget the markets. Right now, we're at a
record and on Friday the dow rose again and we
saw the Dow jump to two hundred eight points, but
keep in mind the record setting levels, but that may
change depending on what everybody has to say this key week.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Okay, we will be watching that Okay, here's what I
am watching for, and that is for this store to
open up Martha Stewart's opas stores.
Speaker 10 (31:21):
Yes, but she's first starting in Dubai. So she'd opened
two home stores in Dubai in the past few weeks.
A third city's on the way. According to Women's Wear Daily,
she's going to be rolling out new shops in India, Kuwait,
in Saudi Arabia, but the timing is yet to be determined.
So the stores are going to have her cookware, her
baking tools, betting bath items available to Now here's the question,
(31:45):
why are you rolling out in the Middle East and
not in the US and not in Europe for example. Well,
they said the Middle East, Dubai has these great malls.
It's the rise now of this retail culture is happening
within the Middle East. So that's why they said we're
going to focus there because there's more of a shopping
culture that's happening as opposed to an online sort of culture.
(32:07):
But it's really those malls that are in duve that
are so huge. Then that's why she's heading there first.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Interesting that the malls are a big thing there because
malls are really suffering here it's like they're so eighties.
Speaker 13 (32:21):
You know.
Speaker 10 (32:22):
And it's funny because if you look at at TikTok,
it just seems like you see, well, I know, I
have seen just people going out, families to the mall,
going to deal with these new experiences, the rise of
the UAE. I mean, it's it's just been unbelievable to
see how glittering and how many brands are just heading there.
(32:45):
So that's that's something to that's something that we're definitely watching.
And again that's why she's watching it and she's heading there.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Yeah, smart like go to Dubai. Lots of money.
Speaker 10 (32:54):
There's a lot, a lot of oil money.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Okap, a lot of money. Steaks and burgers are costing
a lot of money these days.
Speaker 10 (33:04):
Yeah, well, beef is not enter run for a lot
of people because steaks and burgers they've been pretty pricey
and it's probably going to stay that way for some time.
So the Department of Agriculture they tallied up the number
of cattle all across the country and the herd right
now is the smallest midyear on record. Now, this severe
shortage has sent cattle cost soaring. It's driving record beef
(33:27):
prices at the grocery store. Now, for years ranchers have
been slashing their herds. There has been a big combination
of issues. High interest rates is one of them, expensive seed,
persistent drought that we've been seeing. But even if ranchers
start rebuilding right now, rebuilding their herds, beef supplies aren't
expected to recover before twenty twenty eight or even twenty
(33:47):
twenty nine, So it's still going to be expensive for
some time.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I'm wondering too, if they're not only doing that because
they cost more of it, because more people are looking
for alternatives to beef.
Speaker 10 (33:58):
I'm sure that has to play into all of this.
There's a number of changes in our diets here in
the US, and of course agriculture has been on top
of it and watching it. But yeah, now that we're
seeing pretty much a shortage, and that's why when we
go into the grocery store, it's like, oo, I went
and bought a steak last week. I could this. I
(34:22):
mean it was eye watering how much it was? Okay,
So yeah, right, Cartfen's ab out there.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Yep, Courtney Donaho. With Bloomberg getting in your business like
we do every weekday, glad to have you back and
we'll talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 10 (34:36):
Yes, definitely, see you later.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
All right, Thanks Courtney. I'm still going to enjoy a
good burger and a good steak every now and again. Well,
I know very often.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
That's the thing I always think. You know, if you
want beef, have beef. If you want something else, have salad.
You know, it's just the fake stuff. So this kind
of freaks me out.
Speaker 13 (34:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Yeah, that's a whole other that's a whole other something
to talk about. Yeah, because it's supposed to be really
good for you, but it's all processed.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
So, and it doesn't have fewer calories. Great, great, Yeah,
it's just not meat. Okay, when we come back, there's
a hot new dating app out there to protect you
from predators, but the app may need protection of its own.
ABC's Jim Ryan's going to tell us why. That's coming
up next from the Southern California Toyota Dealers Traffic Center,
(35:22):
Save More at the Pump with Toyota's full lineup of
fuel efficient vehicles. It's five point fifty two on your
Monday morning wake up call. Good morning, I'm Amy King.
Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
The laped's foothill station and the surrounding area had to
be evacuated for several hours after two people brought in
a box that contained several US military devices. A department
(35:45):
bomb squad eventually moved the items to a storage facility
and cleared the scene on Saturday. The items are being
turned over to military officials. Israel's working to get more
humanitarian aid into Gaza. An IDF spokesperson says the military
is pausing operations in the Gaza Strip for several hours
each day to allow aid trucks to enter Gaza through Egypt,
(36:09):
food and other aid. It is also being air dropped
into the Gaza Strip as the starvation crisis escalates. Thousands
of Comic Con attendees became real lifesavers and real superheroes.
They donated blood at the entertainment convention. Organizers invited intendees
to unleash their inner heroes and make a life saving impact.
(36:29):
Thirty three hundred pints of blood were donated. Donors all
got a limited edition Marvel Fantastic four T shirt. We're
just minutes away from handle on the news this morning,
Trump loses around in court when it comes to sanctuary cities.
Bill's going to tell you more about that. Right now,
let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. Morning, Jimmy. Okay,
(36:52):
So a dating app that is supposed to protect people
needs its own protection because it's been hacked.
Speaker 13 (37:00):
Yes, it's not really a dating app. It's more about
it's kind of a sideline app. It's about dating aps.
In other words, it's been called the Yelp of dating.
So what it does called it's called t TEA, right,
and it's called TED Dating Advice. Women who are in
the online dating world can download this. They can scan
(37:22):
through and see if the person they're interested in dating
shows up with red flags. So people who are a
part of this can can upload horror stories essentially with
the about the men that they've dated. You know, that
they had undisclosed marriages, maybe that they had criminal backgrounds,
that there were some other issues that should serve as
red flags to other women. So that's what TEA is
(37:45):
all about.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
It's filling the t Jim.
Speaker 13 (37:49):
Yeah, exactly. It's very it's popular, sure, I mean earlicar.
This month, the downloads of the app rose five hundred
and twenty five per scent in just a few days time.
But it's also popular among the hackers. Apparently who got
into it on Friday got into the site and stole
tens of thousands of images. Now t says that these
(38:11):
images were uploaded. These were selfies and other images uploaded
as part of the application process. These weren't silacious or anything,
but selfies related to the application. But still all that
data now is out there.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Okay, So it wasn't like revenge porny kind of stuff
where they date a guy and he turns out to
be a bad guy, so they upload nasty pictures of
him or something.
Speaker 13 (38:35):
No, no, no, they upload the guy's name. And that's
where it gets into trouble because some men say that
their privacy has been violated by this, that they you know,
they were the characterized as being bad guys, even if
they aren't on this app on Tea. So's it kind
of cuts both ways. So at some point some hackers
(38:57):
decided that you know, they found a vulnerable they got
into it, and they stole something like seventy six thousand images.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Okay, So I want to I'm interested in this Tea
thing because you mentioned that some guys are saying their
privacy has been invaded or whatever. I would expect there
could be lawsuits over this.
Speaker 13 (39:15):
Well, I think you're right. Yeah, I think you're right.
You know, there have been Facebook forums also, the face
legal challenges Facebook forums. Whether there's one called are we
Dating the same guy? Right? And that one got into
a little bit of trouble, so there may be lawsuits
down the road. The founder of those name is Sean Cook.
He's the guy who came up with the te app.
(39:36):
He says he did so because his mother, who was
in the online dating world, had what he called terrifying
experiences with online dating guys who had violent histories in
their past, had criminal records that they didn't tell his
mother about. So that's why he launched this thing in
the first place. Has it gotten out of hand? Maybe
(39:57):
maybe so.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
So I'm more interested in the men that this woman
was finding that if she's had several terrifying experiences, your
picker might be off.
Speaker 13 (40:06):
Lady, right, And so what she's done is to warn
other women about the experiences that she had.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Yeah, it sounds like a really cool, a cool idea.
I'm just worried that they're going to get into some
legal trouble with it, but we shall see. And did
you say it's brand new.
Speaker 13 (40:27):
It's been around a little while, but for some reason
it's just gotten very, very popular. As I say this
massive increasing number of downloads just this month. But Sean Cook,
the guy who devised the scene, says he came up
with the IDB in twenty twenty two and launched it
in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Okay, and it's called t Do you want to check
out who you've been dating or warn other women away?
Good to know?
Speaker 13 (40:52):
Wa t TEA like the beverage.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
All right, ABC's Jim Ryan, thanks so much for the
information as always.
Speaker 13 (40:59):
Thanks Amy.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
All right, talk to you soon. Let's get back to
some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
four hour news room. The ninth US Circuit Court of
Appeals in San Francisco said to hear arguments over a
judge's order restricting immigration enforcement in LA and surrounding counties.
A judge found the immigration patrols were being done without
reasonable suspicion and that the government was denying detainees access
(41:21):
to lawyers. The Trump administration says the raids are targeted,
not random, and are done with probable cause to make arrests.
Retired La County Sheriff's Captain Mike Boornman is running for
sheriff in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 11 (41:34):
He will be running against current Sheriff Robert Luna, former
Sheriff alex Via Nueva, and current LASD Lieutenant Oscar Martinez.
Bornman worked for the LASD for more than thirty six
years in several different roles. He says he wants to
audit how the department is spending its money, improve deputy
morale and recruit more deputies. The primary election is on
(41:55):
June second of next year. Mark Mayfield KOFI News.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
A political expert, says it's it's too early to tell
if Mayor Basses stand against immigration raids and how she
has handled the rebuilding process in the Palisades will help
or hinder her chances to be re elected. Caled State
Domingas Hills political science professor Christopher Hollenbrook tells KFI that
Bass needs to get her base to the polls because
(42:20):
immigration enforcement is popular with some other voting blocks.
Speaker 4 (42:23):
It's not obvious that this is going to have a
broad appeal for the mayor beyond just the orberal wing
of democratic cloths.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
Ollenbrook says criticism of the mayor's handling of the rebuilding
process in the Palisades could also be a negative factor
for her to contend with in next year's election. Israel
says it is stopping military attacks in three areas of
Gaza for ten days so more aid can get in.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who says there is no starvation
(42:55):
in Gaza and he wants the UN to distribute the
aid more effectively.
Speaker 7 (43:01):
Stop finding excuses, do what you have to do, and
stop accusing Israel deliberately of this egregious falsehood.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
Several international organizations and American doctors volunteering and hospitals in
Gaza have reported starvation deaths increasing among Palestinians. The neurotechnology
company owned by Elon Musk is reportedly planning to implant
brain chips in twenty thousand people by the year twenty
thirty one. A report by Bloomberg says Neuralink is targeting
(43:30):
more than a billion dollars in revenue in its work
to treat brain health. Financial data and software company Pitchbook
has valued Neuralink at nine billion dollars. This is KFI

Speaker 2 (00:12):
KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County. It's
time for your morning wake up call. Here's Amy Kig.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Well, good morning, Welcome to Monday. It's five o'clock, straight up.
This is your wake up call for July twenty eighth. Yes,
we are approaching the end of July.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
How many days till Christmas?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
As summer zooms by, well, it's four months and twenty
seven days roughly. Okay, I have a fun fact to
get your day started. Thanks for joining us. By the way,
I hope you had a great weekend. Nomophobia I think
most of it, most of us have it.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
It's the fear of being without your smartphone. It stands
for no mobile phone phobia and can cause seriously symptoms
like physical symptoms. Remember, I don't know if you remember,
we talked to the guy who wrote Unplugged on how
to break up with your cell phone. He said, you
kind of go through withdrawals. Symptoms include sweating, shaking, agitation,
(01:24):
and even breathing difficulties.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Research has shown that no mophobia can effect up to
seventy three percent of all of us. It's true, you do.
It's freak you when you don't have your phone with.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Us, especially you know, depending on the situation, like if
you're working and you need it. That makes me freak
out if I leave my phone at home.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
The one time when I really freaked out was when
I was going into Ralph's and I noted, it's one
of my phone got stolen.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I got back to the car and realized I didn't
have my phone. I literally just started freaking out and
had all of those little shaking and agitation and breathing difficulties. No,
as it turned out, I had reason to. But in general,
I think a little nomophobia is probably good for us,
very good.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
I feel naked without my.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Phone, I know, isn't it stupid? It is, it's really
it's difficult to get.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
Like when you realize you don't have it on you, you
you'll be you could be halfway between from Burbank to
Santa Monica.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
You'll stop and come back.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Oh, I know, it's it's.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
There's something although whenever you don't have it and you
realize you don't have and there's nothing you can do
about it.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
There's something really freeing and relieving.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
It's horrible, horrible freedom.
Speaker 7 (02:36):
I know.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I got to I'll loan you in my book Sam.
We got Sam in for KNO today. The book is
called Unplug on How to Break Up with your Cell Phone,
and it's actually it's a pretty good read and it
makes you realize how attached we are to these things.
I need that.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I need to take a look at that.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
All right, here's what's a head on wake up call.
Got a lot going on today. Two cars racing on
the freeway may have caused a tanker truck crash in
Aguadults say that shut down the freeway overnight. The crash
happened around five o'clock yesterday afternoon. On the fourteen. Northbound
lanes were closed because of fuel leaking out of the tanker.
A witness told the CHP two of the cars in
(03:11):
the crash appeared to have been racing right before the collision.
Law enforcement continues to search for one of two grenades
found in a storage unit in Santa Monica. One of
those grenades detonated in La County Sheriff's training facility, killing
three Sheriff's deputies. Sheriff's personnel say they've searched the area
around the deadly explosion, but so far have not been
(03:32):
able to find the other grenade. President Trump says the
new trade deal with the European Union is the biggest
deal ever made. The President and the head of the
European Union Commission announced the deal yesterday in Scotland. We're
going to find out what's in it. We'll call it
the big beautiful trade Deal. With ABC's Karen Travers. That's
coming up in just a couple of minutes. How are
(03:53):
the markets reacting to the deal As President Trump's tariff
deadline looms just like four or five days away. We'll
talk about that as we get in Your Business with
Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe. Israel has announced daily pauses in military
action and gaza to allow for humanitarian aid to get in.
We're going to get the latest from ABC's Jordana Miller
in Jerusalem on that coming up during wake up Call.
(04:16):
And there's a hot new dating app out there to
protect us from predators, but the app may need protection
of its own. ABC's Gim Ryan's going to join us
before the end of the hour to tell us why
let's get started with some of the stories coming out
of the CAFI twenty four hour newsroom. More anti immigration
enforcement protests have been held near the Metropolitan Detention Center
(04:37):
in downtown LA. It's not clear if there were any
new arrests or clashes with police. Protesters on Saturday marched
along Alameda Street, later headed to the First Street Bridge
and into Boil Heights. On Friday, protesters blocked the road
at Eliso and Alameda at about ten o'clock in the evening.
The crowd got cleared out a few hours later. The
White House s is the Trump administration is committed to
(04:57):
enforcing federal immigration laws and to poort criminal illegal aliens,
and that the opinion of an organization founded by self
proclaimed communists is irrelevant. News brought to you by Simper Solaris.
California Democratic Senator Alex Padia wants to help ilegal immigrants
become permanent residents.
Speaker 8 (05:16):
The Democrats says he'll present legislation that will allow an
easy way for those here who are not US citizens
to achieve a pathway to citizenship. Idia says, if you
have lived here for seven years, haven't committed any crimes,
and have contributed to the community, you should be eligible.
The bill is co sponsored by ten other Democratic US
senators and Independent Bernie Sanders, Tammy Trihio KFI News.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Legendary filmmaker George Lucas has helped close out his first
ever San Diego Comic Con. He gave fans a preview
of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art yesterday. It's expected
to open next year in La Look told fans the
museum is going to be a temple to the people.
Have you seen it? You see when you're driving down
the one ten. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Again, I've seen it from the air too. It's literally
got a lawn in trees growing on top of it.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, it's very very It does look like something out
of Star Wars, doesn't it. All Right, let's take a
first look at your morning commute and say good morning
to Will Coleschreiber, Who's going to tell us about that
big rig that overturned in Agua Dulce that's caused all
kinds of kinds of problems on the fourteen.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
And you mentioned this being event a result of some
racing there on the fourteen, so not the actual truck,
just in the cars around it. The northbound side of
the fourteen Aguadal say, two right lanes are blocked there
and one of them was a tanker truck to one
of the vehicles involved in this crash, was that tanker truck?
No fire, no explosion, but the two right lanes are
(06:50):
going to be blocked for a while, and that is
really jamming up your northbound drive. Luckily, the southbound side
is the heavier going to work volume, so hopefully we'll
get through this quickly as a mop up list left
that the fourteen Freeway southbound Solidad Canyon. We've got a
crash in the center divider as well on the other
side of the freeway.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I'm will Cole Schreibert.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Let us know when you're stuck in a jam. Pound
two fifty on yourself, keyword KFI traffic.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Let's say good morning now to ABC's Karen Travers at
the White House. Karen, the President's got another one. This
one's pretty big, the trade deal with the European Union.
Speaker 9 (07:24):
Yeah, the President announced us yesterday after meeting with the
head of the European Commission, Ursula Vanderlain and his golf
course in Scotland. Fifteen percent tariff on most goods coming
into the United States from the European Union, including cars
and pharmaceuticals. That's one of the biggest exports to the
US from the European Union. The EU will be open
to trade with this country if there a terriffs, and
(07:47):
they're also going to purchase from the US about seven
hundred and fifty billion dollars worth of energy and make
a commitment to investing about six hundred billion dollars in
the US on top of what they're already doing. There
will still be fifty percent tariff and steal an aluminum,
so if we get it to many countries there that
stays in place. The President's not budging on that. But
the big thing is that this could have.
Speaker 10 (08:07):
Been a lot higher.
Speaker 9 (08:08):
It was a thirty percent tariff that the President had threatened,
but that tariff now will be said at fifteen percent
going forward.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Okay, well I know that you're there.
Speaker 10 (08:16):
Unfortunately, Yeah, yeah, we got.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
To leave it there. Karen, thanks so much for the update.
We appreciate it. We'll touch you soon. H That was
a quick one. We usually have her for a couple
of minutes, but we didn't have her for very long.
This morning. I have more questions about this trade deal. Like,
sounds great for US, right, fifteen percent tariff for this
stuff coming in plus six hundred let me see, where's
(08:39):
my notes? She just said it's seven hundred and fifty
billion dollars worth of energy that the EU is going
to buy and also the e is going to invest
six hundred billion dollars in the US. Sounds great for us.
What did we give? I mean like literally, it sounds
like we just we get the great end of the deal.
I mean we must have had to give something. But
(09:00):
we'll see, and it'll be interesting to see. Two. If
this deal, because the EU is the biggest trading partner
that we have, if that's going to help facilitate more deals,
because remember that tariff deadline is coming up on August first,
which is this Friday, so we will be watching and
(09:21):
following that. Let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A
man in Michigan is facing possible terrorism charges for a
knife attack at a walmart. Eleven people were stabbed on Saturday.
All are expected to survive. The local sheriff praised the
quick response by law enforcement officers who arrived within just
(09:42):
minutes of getting the call about the stabbing. He also
says a group of bystanders stepped in and held the
accused attacker in the parking lot until they got there.
A possible problem with landing gear has forced airline passengers
to quickly get off a plane at Denver International Airport.
ABC's wing but says the American Airlines flight was taking
off on Saturday when smoke started pouring from the plane.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
This is exactly why flight attendants want us to pay
attention when they explain the emergency slides passengers had to
use them. When smoke filled American Airlines flight thirty twenty three,
which had to abort takeoff from Denver over the weekend,
there was a thud the plane shuttered, leading passenger Mark
Circus to state, that's not good.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Okay, I shouldn't laugh. He said. Some passenger's trip going
down the slide, tumbling onto the concrete runway near the end.
Just one person was hurt. You know, I just flew
because I went up to Medford and I always pay
attention to the safety information. I know that, like you
look around and nobody is, but I always get the
(10:46):
little card out, and I at least look at it.
And then I also do that thing where they said
look for your nearest exit. I always at least check
that because I know a lot of people don't and
it's for stuff just like that. And luckily, you know,
one person got hurt, but otherwise everybody's okay. And there
were like one hundred and fifty people on the plane.
So that is my word to the wise for this morning. Yes,
(11:08):
say yes, yes, I.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Have that same superstition I will pay attention to even
no matter how many times they do the exact same
routine and the cards are all the same, I'll still
flip through the safety cards. It's a superstition at this point.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Well, you know what, it's just plain smart, Sam, just
plain smart.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
On Southwest, I always trying to sit by the exit
because you can't anymore. You can't pick your seats as
easily now. But I'm out that door. If if they
tell us to get out, I'm gone.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Okay. Just know that if there's an evacuation, will's going
to plow you down to get to it first. Okay.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers is pressuring the Trump administration
to release more files on Jeffrey Epstein. California and Democratic
Congressman Rocanna is part of the group, and since Democrats
have been pushing for the release of the files for
a while.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Well, the American people desperately need is for all of
the evidence of the files to come out so they
can decide for themselves.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Joint legislation put forward by Kana and Kentucky Republican Congressman
Tom Massey would force a House vote on the release
of the Epstein files. As an intense heat wave settles
over parts of the eastern US, health officials say it's
important to know when it can turn into a life
threatening situation. Doctor Darien Sutton says you need to pay
(12:22):
attention to the first symptoms of heat exhaustion.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
They can present as headache or dizziness, as our brains
are very sensitive to even small changes in temperature and
profuse sweating and thirst.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah, I've had that happen. I was in Arizona. It
was like one hundred and twenty degrees and it's very
scary too, because you start to get really loopy and
you start you stop sweating, and you feel a chill
even though you're completely overheated. Yeah. Good not something to
mess with. The increasing popularity of AI is reportedly causing
the biggest surge in electricity demand in decades. Bloomberg News
(12:57):
says companies served by the largest US power grid will
spend a record sixteen billion dollars to make sure there
is enough electricity, and it says data centers are to blame.
Target is ending a decade's old perk for customers.
Speaker 9 (13:12):
Target will no longer price match its competitors.
Speaker 11 (13:14):
So even if you find an identical product for less
on Amazon or Walmart, it will no longer match that price.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
That's a bummer. ABC's Rena Royce's The policy goes into
effect today. Target's CEO says it expects some prices that
it stores to go up because of tariffs. The Dodgers
take on the Reds in Cincinnati today. First pitch goes

in Gaza to allow for humanitarian aid to get in.
We'll get the latest from ABC's Jordona Miller in Jerusalem.
Coming up next, Speed Dumping. Great, it's five point twenty
(14:08):
on your Monday morning wake up call. Good morning, I'm
Amy King. Thanks so much for starting your workday and
your work week, or maybe it's your vacation week, but anyway,
we're glad you're here. Here's what we're following in the
KFI twenty four hour news room. The Trump administration makes
its appeal today to get a stay of a temporary
restraining order that blocks ice immigration sweeps across southern California.
(14:29):
A judge found the immigration patrols were done without reasonable
suspicion and that the government was denying detainees access to council.
The hearing is scheduled for this afternoon. A woman has
been injured in a rockslide in the Hollywood Hills. Falling
rocks on Laurel Canyon Boulevard hit the woman's car, injuring
her yesterday afternoon. She was taken to the hospital for evaluation.
(14:52):
Fire Cruise say the rockslide may have been caused by
a broken water pipe. Heavy water was seen flowing from
the top of the slide area. Yacht has crashed into
a sea wall and Marina del Ray. It happened around
three Saturday afternoon at Fisherman's Village. The boat appears to
have had a mechanical failure, and officials say the captain
really didn't have a choice but to hit the wall
in order to prevent further damage. At six oh five,
(15:16):
it's Handle on the news. Trump's got another one. It's
a big, beautiful trade deal. Handle's going to weigh in
on that. Let's say, good morning now to ABC's Jordana
Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana, the IDF may finally be bending
a bit because of the world wide outcry over the
crisis that has taken hold in Gaza. What's the latest?
Speaker 10 (15:38):
That's right?
Speaker 12 (15:39):
Really, he is really Prime Minister giving in to tremendous
international pressure outcry over the situation in Gaza. Widespread hunger,
and in the last week or so, we've seen the
numbers of children that are malnourished, We've seen increasing numbers
(16:01):
be admitted to hospitals, we've seen increasing numbers of those
children die. So this situation had really retire. Really Prime
Minister finally had to reverse course here and allow much
more aid into the Gaza strip. So starting on Sunday,
(16:22):
we saw the Israeli Army declare tactical pauses in combat
for ten hours in three different parts of Gaza, the North,
center and south. The Israeli forces cleared out and stopped operating.
That is, no artillery, no ground combat, no obviously no
(16:45):
air strikes, and Gozans were able to access more aid
at both the distribution sites and from convoys of un
AID that came in and Natonio also approving safe routes
more of them that will be open from six am
until eleven pm every day to bring in un trucks.
(17:09):
And we saw the renewal of air drops. Both the
Israeli Army dropped packages of maratis. So we've seen a
real change in the position of the Israelis in the
last forty eight hours.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Okay, and Jordana, just a couple of things to follow
up on those tactical pauses. We've seen those before. It
was a while ago, but we've seen those before, haven't we.
Speaker 12 (17:38):
We have it's been about a year, yeah, since Israel
stopped you know, had tactical pauses in areas for usually
around ten hours a day. They've proved to be effective
in the past. For example, they allowed the rollout of
a major vaccine to protect the children will go from
(18:00):
polio when that broke out earlier in the war. And
they were connected to also the delivery and distribution of aid.
You know, the UN shares some of the blame in
the in the problem with aid, distributing it, getting their
trucks and their manpower and their logistics in order. Hamas
(18:22):
also has some of the blame for siphoning off some
of the aid, controlling it, selling it back at outrageous prices.
They have contributed to the hunger problem in the Gaza
Strip that the Israelis have as well. The Israeli Prime
Minister again denies an intentional policy of starvation, but there
is hunger across the Gaza Strip, and most Israeli officials
(18:46):
now you know, will say it. The Israeli Army had
been warning the political Achalon for weeks that this situation
was deteriorating. And remember when it deteriorates for Hamas, for well,
not really for Hamas, because they session of food. When
it deteriors for the people of Gaza, ordinary Palestinians. It
also deteriors for the hostages. Right, there's fifty hostages, and
(19:08):
we know from those that have come out that at
times when aid was limited, they were fed less food
as well.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, because we're hearing stories that you know, the parents
are feeding their children first and sometimes they're going out
with going without food for a few days at a
time in extreme circumstances.
Speaker 13 (19:28):
That's right.
Speaker 12 (19:29):
Remember that has been in place for eight weeks, has
been you know, has been plagued with problems. It probably
should have been shut down weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Wait what should have been shut down?
Speaker 12 (19:45):
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation be very you know the system
that the Israelis and the Americans. President Trump pumped sixty
million dollars into this system. It said, wow, you know
people are coming, We're delivering aids, you know, directly to Palestinians. Well,
and ninety million sounds like a lot of meals. But
(20:05):
if you spread that out over eight weeks and over
two million people on God, they can do the map.
It's not enough. People are not able to have three
meals a day. And remember the meals that they're getting too,
they they also require cooking there's not fuel, there's not
uh you know, there's the short of electricity. These are
(20:28):
not ready made meals there, you know, their dry products.
So and there were people getting killed every day. I
mean it was the system. You know, we can we
can look back and say that it was. It had
many problems and it to be really.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Ope, we might have lost her completely on that one. Okay,
open here here me Yeah, we can your your satellite
phone gear drive.
Speaker 12 (20:58):
Yeah. Oh said the system was a failure. Really and
now these reelis are you know, giving thing as they should.
They're providing adequate aid, but they're also getting nothing in
return from it from Hamas right, right, So it was
supposed to be a kind of leverage point for the
talks and you know that has been taken off the
(21:22):
table now.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
All right, Jerdanah Miller in Jerusalem, thank you so much
for the update. Glad to hear that some aid is
getting back in. We'll talk to you again soon.
Speaker 12 (21:30):
Yeah, thank god.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
All right. Explosives founded a home and Pacoima have prompted
a call to the LAPD's bomb squad. Family members were
apparently cleaning out a dead relative's home on Saturday. They
found a box that had explosives in it. They took
them to LAPD's Foothill Station. Investigators say the items appeared
to be military grade, leading the LAPD to consult with
(21:52):
explosive ordnance disposal experts from Camp Pendleton. Officials did determine
the items were safe to move. Authorities still searching for
or a missing grenade related to the explosion that killed
three LA County Sheriff's detectives in East LA. Two grenades
had been moved from a storage unit and an apartment
complex in Santa Monica to the Sheriff's training facility more
than a week ago. One of them blew up. Law
(22:14):
enforcement expert Bruce Thomas says the grenades had been X
rayed and determined to be inert.
Speaker 11 (22:19):
So in this case, transport them in their martial explosives
vehicle would not have been a problem, but clearly something
went wrong.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is leading
the search for the missing grenade. The thirties are investigating
a shooting death of a man at a seven eleven
in Lawndale. The shooting happened just after eight last night
at Prairie Avenue in Manhattan Beach Boulevard. The man's shot
was not a clerk at the convenience store. Two men
were seen running away, but police haven't said if they
(22:48):
are suspects in the shooting. The union representing more than
twelve thousand grocery store employees in southern California has authorized
a strike against Stater Brothers' Markets.
Speaker 11 (22:59):
United and Commercial Workers has not set a date yet
for a strike against the San Bernardino based chain. The
union's labor contract with Stater Brothers, another major supermarket chains
in southern California, expired on March second. The UFCW says
this is the first ever strike vote taken against the
eighty nine year old Stater Brothers Mark Mayfield Kofi News.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
A strike that could have shut down hundreds of safeways
across northern California has been called off. That's because workers
reached a last minute deal with the parent company, Albertson's
over the weekend. It includes raises, stronger job protections, and
better retirement and healthcare for twenty five thousand employees. The
deal comes as Albertson's faces and backlash over it's failed
(23:40):
twenty four billion dollar merger with Kroger when we come back,
how the markets are reacting to the deal, the big
beautiful tariff, not tariff deal, but trade deal. As President
Trump's tariff deadline looms just days away, we're going to
talk about that. We'll getting your business with Bloomberg's Courtney

a possible shooting during a house party in Encino. Shooting
was reported Saturday night, right next door to the home

over loud, unruly parties. A man has been found dead
at a bus stop in South la Police say one
(26:54):
person was taken into custody following the discovery early yesterday morning,
but they didn't set if the person has a connection
to the dead man. Police have not released a cause
of death. With five days until a major tariff deadline,
the US and the EU have reached a trade deal.

hundred billion dollars more than they're investing already.
Speaker 1 (27:31):

It's five forty. Time to get in your business with
Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe. Welcome back, Courtney.
Speaker 10 (29:17):
Oh thank you. It's rough to be sick.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
The slummer isn't sick the worst. I just hate it.
Speaker 10 (29:25):
And on top of it, my kids were sick too,
So is this a whole houseful of not so much fun?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Okay, I'm glad.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
To be back, and we're glad you're feeling better, So
let's get right in it. I wanted to ask you
first about how the markets are responding to the big,
beautiful trade deal that Trump and the EU just announced.
Speaker 10 (29:46):
Well, it's green on the screen this morning. We're looking
at that slightly. Yeah, they're up, slightly down. Futures are
up about thirty points SMT futures for us a little
bit more, up about two tenths of a percent. They're
definitely responding well to any sort of trade deal. It's
giving a little more confidence that some of the trade
issues are going to be put behind us. But I
(30:08):
want to point out this is a very pivotal week
on Wall Street. We have a fire hose of key events,
one right after the other. First of all, the Federer
Serve meets, and it's expected that there will be no
change to interest rates, but we're going to be waiting
to see what Shared J. Powell has to say about
the path for interest rates, and especially now that he's
getting a lot of pressure from President Trump. So that
(30:31):
is on Wednesday, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Parent, Met and Microsoft.
They're all giving us quarterly report cards. So anytime any
one of those big mega companies comes out and tells
us what's happening on nderneath, that was a big snieze
behind me. So anytime we hear any one of that,
that could be a big game changer for the markets.
We could see a change in direction. And on Friday
(30:53):
we have the government out with the July jobs report.
But don't forget the markets. Right now, we're at a
record and on Friday the dow rose again and we
saw the Dow jump to two hundred eight points, but
keep in mind the record setting levels, but that may
change depending on what everybody has to say this key week.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Okay, we will be watching that Okay, here's what I
am watching for, and that is for this store to
open up Martha Stewart's opas stores.
Speaker 10 (31:21):
Yes, but she's first starting in Dubai. So she'd opened
two home stores in Dubai in the past few weeks.
A third city's on the way. According to Women's Wear Daily,
she's going to be rolling out new shops in India, Kuwait,
in Saudi Arabia, but the timing is yet to be determined.
So the stores are going to have her cookware, her
baking tools, betting bath items available to Now here's the question,
(31:45):
why are you rolling out in the Middle East and
not in the US and not in Europe for example. Well,
they said the Middle East, Dubai has these great malls.
It's the rise now of this retail culture is happening
within the Middle East. So that's why they said we're
going to focus there because there's more of a shopping
culture that's happening as opposed to an online sort of culture.
(32:07):
But it's really those malls that are in duve that
are so huge. Then that's why she's heading there first.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Interesting that the malls are a big thing there because
malls are really suffering here it's like they're so eighties.
Speaker 13 (32:21):
You know.
Speaker 10 (32:22):
And it's funny because if you look at at TikTok,
it just seems like you see, well, I know, I
have seen just people going out, families to the mall,
going to deal with these new experiences, the rise of
the UAE. I mean, it's it's just been unbelievable to
see how glittering and how many brands are just heading there.
(32:45):
So that's that's something to that's something that we're definitely watching.
And again that's why she's watching it and she's heading there.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Yeah, smart like go to Dubai. Lots of money.
Speaker 10 (32:54):
There's a lot, a lot of oil money.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Okap, a lot of money. Steaks and burgers are costing
a lot of money these days.
Speaker 10 (33:04):
Yeah, well, beef is not enter run for a lot
of people because steaks and burgers they've been pretty pricey
and it's probably going to stay that way for some time.
So the Department of Agriculture they tallied up the number
of cattle all across the country and the herd right
now is the smallest midyear on record. Now, this severe
shortage has sent cattle cost soaring. It's driving record beef
(33:27):
prices at the grocery store. Now, for years ranchers have
been slashing their herds. There has been a big combination
of issues. High interest rates is one of them, expensive seed,
persistent drought that we've been seeing. But even if ranchers
start rebuilding right now, rebuilding their herds, beef supplies aren't
expected to recover before twenty twenty eight or even twenty
(33:47):
twenty nine, So it's still going to be expensive for
some time.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I'm wondering too, if they're not only doing that because
they cost more of it, because more people are looking
for alternatives to beef.
Speaker 10 (33:58):
I'm sure that has to play into all of this.
There's a number of changes in our diets here in
the US, and of course agriculture has been on top
of it and watching it. But yeah, now that we're
seeing pretty much a shortage, and that's why when we
go into the grocery store, it's like, oo, I went
and bought a steak last week. I could this. I
(34:22):
mean it was eye watering how much it was? Okay,
So yeah, right, Cartfen's ab out there.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Yep, Courtney Donaho. With Bloomberg getting in your business like
we do every weekday, glad to have you back and
we'll talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 10 (34:36):
Yes, definitely, see you later.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
All right, Thanks Courtney. I'm still going to enjoy a
good burger and a good steak every now and again. Well,
I know very often.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
That's the thing I always think. You know, if you
want beef, have beef. If you want something else, have salad.
You know, it's just the fake stuff. So this kind
of freaks me out.
Speaker 13 (34:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Yeah, that's a whole other that's a whole other something
to talk about. Yeah, because it's supposed to be really
good for you, but it's all processed.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
So, and it doesn't have fewer calories. Great, great, Yeah,
it's just not meat. Okay, when we come back, there's
a hot new dating app out there to protect you
from predators, but the app may need protection of its own.
ABC's Jim Ryan's going to tell us why. That's coming
up next from the Southern California Toyota Dealers Traffic Center,
(35:22):
Save More at the Pump with Toyota's full lineup of
fuel efficient vehicles. It's five point fifty two on your
Monday morning wake up call. Good morning, I'm Amy King.
Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
The laped's foothill station and the surrounding area had to
be evacuated for several hours after two people brought in
a box that contained several US military devices. A department
(35:45):
bomb squad eventually moved the items to a storage facility
and cleared the scene on Saturday. The items are being
turned over to military officials. Israel's working to get more
humanitarian aid into Gaza. An IDF spokesperson says the military
is pausing operations in the Gaza Strip for several hours
each day to allow aid trucks to enter Gaza through Egypt,
(36:09):
food and other aid. It is also being air dropped
into the Gaza Strip as the starvation crisis escalates. Thousands
of Comic Con attendees became real lifesavers and real superheroes.
They donated blood at the entertainment convention. Organizers invited intendees
to unleash their inner heroes and make a life saving impact.
(36:29):
Thirty three hundred pints of blood were donated. Donors all
got a limited edition Marvel Fantastic four T shirt. We're
just minutes away from handle on the news this morning,
Trump loses around in court when it comes to sanctuary cities.
Bill's going to tell you more about that. Right now,
let's say good morning to ABC's Jim Ryan. Morning, Jimmy. Okay,
(36:52):
So a dating app that is supposed to protect people
needs its own protection because it's been hacked.
Speaker 13 (37:00):
Yes, it's not really a dating app. It's more about
it's kind of a sideline app. It's about dating aps.
In other words, it's been called the Yelp of dating.
So what it does called it's called t TEA, right,
and it's called TED Dating Advice. Women who are in
the online dating world can download this. They can scan
(37:22):
through and see if the person they're interested in dating
shows up with red flags. So people who are a
part of this can can upload horror stories essentially with
the about the men that they've dated. You know, that
they had undisclosed marriages, maybe that they had criminal backgrounds,
that there were some other issues that should serve as
red flags to other women. So that's what TEA is
(37:45):
all about.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
It's filling the t Jim.
Speaker 13 (37:49):
Yeah, exactly. It's very it's popular, sure, I mean earlicar.
This month, the downloads of the app rose five hundred
and twenty five per scent in just a few days time.
But it's also popular among the hackers. Apparently who got
into it on Friday got into the site and stole
tens of thousands of images. Now t says that these
(38:11):
images were uploaded. These were selfies and other images uploaded
as part of the application process. These weren't silacious or anything,
but selfies related to the application. But still all that
data now is out there.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Okay, So it wasn't like revenge porny kind of stuff
where they date a guy and he turns out to
be a bad guy, so they upload nasty pictures of
him or something.
Speaker 13 (38:35):
No, no, no, they upload the guy's name. And that's
where it gets into trouble because some men say that
their privacy has been violated by this, that they you know,
they were the characterized as being bad guys, even if
they aren't on this app on Tea. So's it kind
of cuts both ways. So at some point some hackers
(38:57):
decided that you know, they found a vulnerable they got
into it, and they stole something like seventy six thousand images.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Okay, So I want to I'm interested in this Tea
thing because you mentioned that some guys are saying their
privacy has been invaded or whatever. I would expect there
could be lawsuits over this.
Speaker 13 (39:15):
Well, I think you're right. Yeah, I think you're right.
You know, there have been Facebook forums also, the face
legal challenges Facebook forums. Whether there's one called are we
Dating the same guy? Right? And that one got into
a little bit of trouble, so there may be lawsuits
down the road. The founder of those name is Sean Cook.
He's the guy who came up with the te app.
(39:36):
He says he did so because his mother, who was
in the online dating world, had what he called terrifying
experiences with online dating guys who had violent histories in
their past, had criminal records that they didn't tell his
mother about. So that's why he launched this thing in
the first place. Has it gotten out of hand? Maybe
(39:57):
maybe so.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
So I'm more interested in the men that this woman
was finding that if she's had several terrifying experiences, your
picker might be off.
Speaker 13 (40:06):
Lady, right, And so what she's done is to warn
other women about the experiences that she had.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
Yeah, it sounds like a really cool, a cool idea.
I'm just worried that they're going to get into some
legal trouble with it, but we shall see. And did
you say it's brand new.
Speaker 13 (40:27):
It's been around a little while, but for some reason
it's just gotten very, very popular. As I say this
massive increasing number of downloads just this month. But Sean Cook,
the guy who devised the scene, says he came up
with the IDB in twenty twenty two and launched it
in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Okay, and it's called t Do you want to check
out who you've been dating or warn other women away?
Good to know?
Speaker 13 (40:52):
Wa t TEA like the beverage.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
All right, ABC's Jim Ryan, thanks so much for the
information as always.
Speaker 13 (40:59):
Thanks Amy.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
All right, talk to you soon. Let's get back to
some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
four hour news room. The ninth US Circuit Court of
Appeals in San Francisco said to hear arguments over a
judge's order restricting immigration enforcement in LA and surrounding counties.
A judge found the immigration patrols were being done without
reasonable suspicion and that the government was denying detainees access
(41:21):
to lawyers. The Trump administration says the raids are targeted,
not random, and are done with probable cause to make arrests.
Retired La County Sheriff's Captain Mike Boornman is running for
sheriff in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 11 (41:34):
He will be running against current Sheriff Robert Luna, former
Sheriff alex Via Nueva, and current LASD Lieutenant Oscar Martinez.
Bornman worked for the LASD for more than thirty six
years in several different roles. He says he wants to
audit how the department is spending its money, improve deputy
morale and recruit more deputies. The primary election is on
(41:55):
June second of next year. Mark Mayfield KOFI News.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
A political expert, says it's it's too early to tell
if Mayor Basses stand against immigration raids and how she
has handled the rebuilding process in the Palisades will help
or hinder her chances to be re elected. Caled State
Domingas Hills political science professor Christopher Hollenbrook tells KFI that
Bass needs to get her base to the polls because
(42:20):
immigration enforcement is popular with some other voting blocks.
Speaker 4 (42:23):
It's not obvious that this is going to have a
broad appeal for the mayor beyond just the orberal wing
of democratic cloths.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
Ollenbrook says criticism of the mayor's handling of the rebuilding
process in the Palisades could also be a negative factor
for her to contend with in next year's election. Israel
says it is stopping military attacks in three areas of
Gaza for ten days so more aid can get in.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah, who says there is no starvation
(42:55):
in Gaza and he wants the UN to distribute the
aid more effectively.
Speaker 7 (43:01):
Stop finding excuses, do what you have to do, and
stop accusing Israel deliberately of this egregious falsehood.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
Several international organizations and American doctors volunteering and hospitals in
Gaza have reported starvation deaths increasing among Palestinians. The neurotechnology
company owned by Elon Musk is reportedly planning to implant
brain chips in twenty thousand people by the year twenty
thirty one. A report by Bloomberg says Neuralink is targeting
(43:30):
more than a billion dollars in revenue in its work
to treat brain health. Financial data and software company Pitchbook
has valued Neuralink at nine billion dollars. This is KFI
