Here's Amy King.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Good morning. This is your wake up call for Thursday,
June fifth. I'm Amy King. We're live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. So glad you're with us today. I have
a little extra pep in my step. I don't know why.
Maybe maybe I slept good last night or something, or
maybe I'm just happy to be here and the birds
(00:46):
are and the birds, you know, the birds. Yeah, I'm
starting to get worried. Okay, we're talking about the eagles again.
Up in Big Bear. I'm worried the Gizmo is not
going to leave the nest because Sonny has come back.
The older of the two took off, but now she's
come back and she's just hanging out. And maybe Gizmo
doesn't think that she needs to go.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
This most seems like a homebody.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
She does, and she's adorable. But I didn't I watched
them yesterday because, as you know, my obsession with the Eagles.
I'm gonna have to join EA when this is all over.
Eagles anonymous, But I didn't notice that they were flapping
a lot yesterday and Sonny didn't leave the nest. She's like, hey, yeah,
I've done it. I flew. I'm done, Mom, bring me
a fish. We'll keep watching them. It's interesting to me too,
(01:30):
that like more people are watching now than when they hatched.
There was like eighty thousand yesterday, and that's just at
any given time on the Utah Channel. You can watch
it on Friends of Big Bear Valley website. They've got
a link to it there. National Catchup Day is today.
I don't know what that means, but maybe it means
that I got to go get some fries. Yeah, all right,
(01:51):
here's what's ahead on wake up Call. A man from
Seattle's been charged in connection with the bombing at a
fertility clinic in Palm Springs. Prosecutors say thirty two year
old Daniel Parks supplied two hundred and seventy pounds of
ammonium nitrate used in the explosion that killed the bomber
and injured four others. A fifteen year old boy has
been killed in a crash in the parking lot of
a High School in Studio City. The LAPD says it
(02:13):
looks like the boy was passing between two vehicles and
got pinned between them. It happened yesterday afternoon as students
were being picked up after school. Police say the boy's
father was there to pick him up and saw the
whole thing. You may see smoke rising over a diamond bar.
For the next couple of days. La County Fire cal
Fire and the Orange County Fire Authority are doing a
prescribed burn in Tanner Canyon today and tomorrow to reduce
(02:36):
wildfire risk and improve the health of the ecosystem. A
rift continues between Elon Musk and President Trump actually continues
to build. Musk is railing on the big beautiful bill now.
He says he just wants it thrown out and wants
a new one. Obviously, Trump doesn't think that We're going
to talk with ABC's Karen Travers about all this in
just about three minutes, warning labels on snap foods they're
(03:00):
coming in at least one state, and ABC's Jim Ryan
is going to join us at five point twenty to
tell us whether they'll be coming to a snack food
or soda can near you too. President Trump says foreign
students are no longer welcome to come to the US
to go to Harvard. ABC's Peter Haralumbus joins us with
the latest between the President and the Ivy League university.
(03:23):
All right, let's get started with some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The
Trump administration has ended nearly four billion dollars in federal
funding for California's high speed rail project.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I command the US Department of Transportation for taking action.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
The Department of Transportation blames mismanagement, miss deadlines, and cost
overruns as the reason for cutting funding. This is the
latest and a series of problems for the project that
was sold to voters as a bullet train between San
Francisco and La Republican Senator Tony Strickland says the project
is a failure and the state should save taxpayer money.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Let's stop wasting California's heart earned taxpayer dollars and put
that money towards better use for all Californians.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
The California High Speed Rail Authority disputes the findings and
has thirty seven days to respond.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Heatherbrooker KFI News. LA Mayor Bass has met with the
shipping industry leaders at the Port of Los Angeles to
hear their concerns about import Texas.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Mayor Bass convened a roundtable meeting at the Port of
Los Angeles to discuss the impacts of mass tariffs on
goods from other countries. Officials say the tariffs have already
impacted businesses at local ports. Port of LA Executive Director
Jean Soroka said the number of ships at port per
week has dropped from ten to twelve to about five
ships in the last seven days. He also said the
difference in business has been noticeable in the last couple
(04:37):
of months. Mayor Bass warned that Angelinos may not realize
the impact yet, but says it's coming. Eileen Gonzalez Ky
IFI News.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
The City of San Diego's ban on yoga classes in
public parks and beaches has been ruled unconstitutional by a
federal appeals court. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal says
yoga classes held in public places are protected by the
First Amendment. Who knew Let's say good morning now to
ABC's Karen Travers, so, Karen looks like a riffed building.
(05:06):
Between Elon Musk and President Trump is Musk continues to
rail on the big beautiful bill. Now he says he
just said it should just be tossed out and started over.
Speaker 8 (05:15):
Yeah. I mean he's saying kill the bill.
Speaker 9 (05:17):
That's what he wrote on X yesterday, his social media
platform where he has, you know, hundreds of millions of followers.
He is trying to tank the president's signature.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
Budget bill, his tax policy bill, which.
Speaker 9 (05:29):
Musk is calling a disgusting abomination. He's ramping up pressure
on lawmakers, but he's also telling Americans, call your senator,
call your congressman. Bankrupting America is not okay.
Speaker 8 (05:41):
Kill the bill. This is a really.
Speaker 9 (05:43):
Significant issue for the White House right now. You know,
is it going to change minds on Capitol Hill?
Speaker 8 (05:49):
We'll see.
Speaker 9 (05:50):
But it's not helpful to have somebody who was once
such a part of the inner circle. I mean literally,
just a week ago, somebody who spent more than two
hundred and seventy million dollars to help get the President
and Republicans elected now on the outside not just you know,
grumbling slightly about this piece of legislation, but actively saying
it should not pass.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah. Interesting that there's been such a one to eighty
and like you said, it's not that just there's rumblings.
I mean, it's no. This thing sucks, It needs to
be gone and you need to start over. Is the
President saying anything about it yet about must response.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
Yeah, not yet, And that's notable. We haven't had a
chance to ask the President questions over.
Speaker 8 (06:32):
The last three days.
Speaker 9 (06:32):
That will change today when you sit down in the
Oble Office with the Chancellor of Germany. I can think
that the group that goes in there in the Oble Office,
this is going to be at the top of their list.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
To see his reaction to all of this.
Speaker 9 (06:43):
The White House has brushed it off, as you know, okay,
it's not a news that he doesn't.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Like this bill.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
But you know, that's one thing to not like the bill.
Speaker 9 (06:51):
It's another thing to actively try to tank the legislation
that the administration has made the priority.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
For them right now. That is significant week.
Speaker 9 (07:00):
I was in the obl Office on Friday when President
Trump had his goodbye ceremony for Elon Musk.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
I asked both of them about this.
Speaker 9 (07:06):
Must notably didn't weigh in with the President's sitting right
next to him about his criticisms of the bill, even
though he'd already started talking about that in interviews last week,
but again, this is a significant ramping up of that,
from just criticizing the bill to now saying it can't pass.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Right, and it's it's pretty unusual for Trump to stay
silent about something like this because usually if somebody, you know, punches,
he counter punches. And I'm like, why not, maybe because
it's not he's not saying President Trump screwed up. He's
saying that the bill is bad and not. I mean,
it's just it's an interesting.
Speaker 8 (07:41):
Dynamic, and it's President Trump's bill.
Speaker 9 (07:43):
This is like, you know, Congress is doing this in
a vacuum. This is exactly what President Trump campaigned on.
It's what he wants. It was interesting to see last week,
after Elon Musk first criticized the bill, the President then said, well,
there's some things I didn't like about the House version either,
and now the Senate starts making change and then they'll
send it back over the House.
Speaker 8 (08:02):
But you know, it is still his legislation.
Speaker 9 (08:04):
This is what he wants, it's what his advisors are
pushing lawmakers to move forward on. And ultimately, you know,
this is the administration's agenda. But I think in some
ways maybe he's holding back given the significance of who
Elon Musk is. And again that's the question for the
president today, why haven't you pushed back on what he
is saying when he is trying to tank your bill.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Well, you're going to be in the room, and we
know our John Decker is going to be.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
Oh you're not not today, not my turn today.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
I was there Friday.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Okay, I think kfi's John Decker is going to be there,
so hopefully he'll get a chance up to ask him.
ABC's Karen Travis, thanks so much for the information. As always,
we'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
Have a great day.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Thanks right you too. Let's get back to some of
the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A.
President Trump has announced a travel ban and restrictions on
a dozen countries. Most are in the Mid East and Africa.
Trump said yesterday the restrictions are part of a cracked
on what he claims are an influx of attacks carried
out by foreigners.
Speaker 10 (09:03):
The recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado has underscored the
extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of
foreign nationals who are not properly vetted, as well as
those who come here as temporary visitors and overstay their visas.
Speaker 11 (09:19):
We don't want them.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Trump's first travel band was issued in twenty seventeen and
ban traveled to the US by citizens of seven and
predominantly Muslim countries. That order was reworked and upheld by
the Supreme Court in twenty eighteen. A federal judge has
blocked the deportation of the family of the man accused
of throwing molotov cocktails at pro Israeli demonstrators in Colorado.
(09:43):
The district judge said removing the family without due process
could cause irreparable harm. The family of Mohammed Solomon has
sued to stay in the US. Solomon says his family
didn't know he was planning the attack. At least five
people have been killed in a Russian drone strike on
a city in northern Ukraine. A regional governors's six drones
(10:05):
hit residential areas of Priluki early this morning, causing severe
damage to residential buildings. Hours later, seventeen people were hurt
in a Russian drone strike in the city of Kharkiv
in eastern Ukraine. Israel says the bodies of two Israeli
American hostages taken during the Hamas attack in twenty twenty
three have now been recovered. ABC S Jordana Miller says
(10:28):
the Israeli Army launched a special opsmission overnight.
Speaker 12 (10:31):
Israeli special forces finding the bodies of Judy Weinstein and
Gadhi Hagai, a married couple in their seventies, inkanyunis. The
IDF had previously determined terrorists aligned with Hamas killed the
Americans on Near O's and stole their bodies.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
SAMAS is still holding fifty six hostages. Israel says it
believes only about a third of them are still alive.
If we're stuck with chatbots, legislators want two child proofs.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
California lawmakers are advancing new rules to improve the safety
of companionship chatbots, especially for children. A bill passed by
the state Senate mandates companies from mind users every three
hours that these chatbots are not real and may not
be suitable for all miners. They must also have protocols
for handling discussions on suicide or self harm and track
how often those topics arise. The legislation target's social interaction
(11:22):
chatbots excluding those used for customer service. The bill now
heads to the Assembly. Mark Ronner, actual human KFI News.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yes, Mark Ronnin a runner, actual human and a pretty
decent guy too. Guess what It's time to party? And
who doesn't love a good party. Disney sure knows how
to throw one. It's the Disneyland Resort's seventieth celebration going
now at the park. KFI AM six forty wants to
give you a chance to win a family four pack
(11:51):
of one day, one park tickets to Disneyland Park or
Disney California Adventure Park. To join this limited time event,

for your chance to celebrate with us. Offerings subject to
restrictions and change without notice. Yes, that means we have
tickets to Disneyland or the Disney California Adventure Park coming
(12:14):
up right here on a wake up Call, so keep
it tuned here. A federal judge in San Francisco's thrown
out a lawsuit filed by the state of California against
President Trump's tariffs. The judge says the case is not
in the right jurisdiction. Governor Newsom and Attorney General Bonta
had argued the tariffs were unconstitutional. Newsom and Bonta can appeal.
(12:35):
California's high speed rail project has hit another hurdle. A
Department of Transportation audit of the seventeen year old project
has revealed that it's failing to meet federal funding requirements
for its grant awards. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the
High Speed Rail Authority now has a month to respond
or it could lose four billion dollars in federal funding.
(12:56):
California's launched a Honeybee Health program to fight the decline
in honeybee populations. The initiative will fund research, promote bee
friendly practices for bee keepers and farmers, and also provide
grants to tribes and schools and nonprofits. They say that
dyeing a honey bees threatened food security because pollination is
essential for more than one hundred crops in California. I'll
(13:19):
just go on the record, I love bees. Moe Kelly
can't stand them. He's scared, scared they do hurt it.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Well, they don't.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I went out to a bee farm and I didn't
get stung once. It's how you react to them too.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
True so I'm always on a bicycle and moving and
it hurts you can't stop.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Suddenly, you know, it's like, oh, that's true. Well, anyway,
we support bees here on Wake Up Call, let's say
good morning now to ABC's Jim Ryan. I bet the
honey wouldn't have a warning label on it, but some
snack foods.
Speaker 13 (13:55):
Oh you know what honey does. Honey does give it
to babies under one year or two years. You're not
supposed to give it to the little kids.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Oh but that's not that's not the snack food warnings
we're talking about right now. No, okay, let's talk about those.
Speaker 13 (14:09):
These relate to chemicals, colorings, food additives that we find
in things sodium aluminium sulfate for example, sterile tar trait,
things that you've never heard of. And you know that's
kind of been the rule of thumb for some time.
If you can't pronounce it, you probably shouldn't eat it.
So the Texas legislature what it did was to pass
(14:31):
this thing unanimously. By the way, this provision, it's it's
a wide ranging health provision called make Texas Healthy Again.
That sound familiar, and one provision would require these warning
labels that say it contains ingredients quote not recommended for
human consumption.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
That's kind of si.
Speaker 13 (14:52):
Yeah, but the alternative, I mean that that's the compromise.
There were folks who said, let's just leave it alone,
forget about it. Then there were those who are saying,
we need to ban these things in food products here
in Texas and somewhere in the middle they met and said, now,
let's just put a warning label on it for now
and see what happened. So, additives in some snack foods,
(15:13):
the Rito's for example, some soft drinks, some candies, they
could all be subject to these warning labels in Texas.
And you know what if that happens here, amy, it's
likely to happen elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Well, yeah, because you won't end up printing labels that
are different if for every state.
Speaker 13 (15:31):
Right right, So when you get a big state like
Texas or California or New York Florida. You know, it's
like textbooks. These big states kind of govern how textbooks
are because the publishers want to put out just one
version and spread it across the country. The same holds
true for the food manufacturers. They just want to print
one package, one label, and ship that out nationwide to
(15:54):
save money.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Okay, So then here's my question. As additives and guys
and that kind of thing are pulled off of this,
you know, taken out of the snack foods, as is
supposed to happen, will those warning labels be able to
come off?
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Probably?
Speaker 13 (16:10):
I would think they would. Even bleached flower is all
on this list here, stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Like that not not good for human consumption, right, wow, Right,
So it's not only snack foods, it's like lots of foods.
Speaker 13 (16:24):
But but you know, you'd find bleach flower in a
lot of different things. Breakfast cereals, for example, they.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Find it in a in a bag of bleached flower too.
Speaker 13 (16:33):
Well, that's true. And if this all kind of rings,
you know, familiar, it's because and some of the folks
who voted for this said they got calls of support,
phone calls of support from Health and Human Services Secretary
Robert F. Kennedy Junior. So he's standing behind this. And
I suspect that they'll use Texas as kind of the
(16:55):
proven ground to see if this could hold in other
states too.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Okay.
Speaker 13 (17:00):
The food manufacturers, by the way, say the stuff they
put in their food, the additives, the flavorings, the colors
are safe safe for human consumption. But and you know,
they're they're kind of pushing back on this.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
So the other thing that's sort of interesting to me
or makes me curious about is there right now they're
just going to put the warning label on, but like,
are they going to maybe expand it and show pictures
of like morbidly obese people or diseased hearts or something,
you know, like they do with cigarettes in the euroc Yeah,
(17:34):
they show like we were we were just over there
and they had like they'd show like a disease lung
or a clogged artery. I mean then like pictures of
it and people who've had like their faces cut off,
and like, I mean, it was just it's crazy. How
and everybody over in Europe smokes, so obviously the warning
labels don't work.
Speaker 13 (17:51):
But yeah, if it was meant as a deterrent, it
probably didn't work there. Somehow it worked here, you know,
warning labels and super high taxes and that I think
that's probably what they lack in Europe, is the super
high taxes on cigarettes and tobacco products, And that's why
they're still out there and popular being bought smoked and used.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah. Okay, So when are these warning labels going to
start showing up.
Speaker 13 (18:13):
Well, first, the Governor's going to have to sign it,
and he undoubtedly will. I mean, the Republican controlled Senate
has approved it. The House already passed it here in
Texas and sent it on to the governor for his signature.
He undoubtedly will sign it. You know, he wants to
stay in good with the Trump administration and with RFK Junior,
and so he'll sign it. So it could be September.
(18:34):
I think September is when this would take effect, if
in fact it does.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Okay, we'll be watching for it. ABC's Jim Ryan, thanks
so much, thank you. We should put a warning label
on wake up call, be careful. It's all kindness and fun,
how about that? Okay? Yeah, and talk of eagles, how
are those eagles doing? Oh, they're up. Okay, let's get
back to some of the stories coming out of the
(18:57):
KFI twenty four our newsroom. Teen year old boy who
got pinned between two cars in the parking lot of
Campbell High School and Studio City has died at the hospital.
LAPD Lieutenant Matt Bielski says the collision happened yesterday afternoon
as cars lined up to pick up students after school.
The teen was apparently trying to pass between two of
(19:18):
the vehicles.
Speaker 14 (19:19):
At this time, since it was determined to be an accident,
there won't be any citations given, as you can understand,
it's an unfortunately for both families.

are heartbroken and that there will be no classes or
final exams today. Counselors are going to be available later

that's when he had hit me again.

My tendons were cut completely down to the bone, my
artery was cut.

The estimated street value of the meth around six million dollars.
Dairy workers in several states, including California, have voted to
authorize a strike overstalled contract talks with dairy farmers. They
say they want better pay, benefits, and workplace safety. The
(20:55):
unions's strike of more than a thousand workers could disrupt
the apply chain. One worker says they know how much
dairy farmers make and they want their fair share. The
Marine Mammal Care Center is declared the end of a
toxic algae bloom that has sickened and killed animals up
and down the southern California coast.
Speaker 15 (21:15):
Officials with the center also released four recovered sea lion
perhaps back into the ocean on Wednesday. The algae bloom,
which caused demoic acid poisoning devastated marine life for fourteen weeks.
Earlier this year, Marine Mammal Care Center CEO John Warner
says it was the longest lasting toxic algae bloom on record.
The one in twenty twenty three lasted eight and a
half weeks. Mark Mayfield Kofi News.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Did you see that they released a like one hundred

of the sea lions who got sick, and they released
some of them on Venice Beach yesterday. Yeah. They were
very cute, man, They're very happy to be headed home. Yeah,

blow torch, which they cleaned out. Police say they spent
about three hours inside the jewelry store. The Autopia ride
at Disneyland had to shut down yesterday. Get this. One
of the cars jumped the track and crashed up an
embankment into Maorwland. I don't know how that happens. They've
got those guides, yeah, that like keep them on the
(22:45):
and they don't go very fast, so it's not like
you could, you know, get a running start and floor
it and jump over the track. So something obviously broke.
At six oh five, handle on the news, President Trump
is issued a new travel band to people from like
twenty countries who are trying to get into the US.
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
(23:07):
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A warning for
freshwater fish eaters. A study published in the Journal of
Infectious Diseases says more than ninety percent of popular freshwater
fish in southern California, like largemouth bass and bluegill, carry
parasites that can make people sick and, in rare cases,
can cause strokes or heart attacks. The FDA advises to
(23:29):
cook fish thoroughly or if eating raw freeze at first
freezing apparently kills parasites. The Torrents PTA is asking for

President Trump has directed the Justice Department to investigate the
actions of former President Biden, saying aids masked his cognitive decline.
Trump has also raised questions about the use of the
auto pen designed pardons and other documents. ABC's Andrew Dimbert
says Biden calls the suggestions ridiculous and.
Speaker 17 (24:27):
False, Biden calling Trump's order nothing more than a mere distraction,
saying I made the decisions during my presidency. I made
the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Trump's memmo says the American public was purposefully shielded from
discovering who wielded the executive power, all while Biden's signature
was deployed across thousands of documents to affect radical policy shifts.

A rehabilitated sea turtle named Dilly Dally has been returned
to the Atlantic Ocean after having one of her flippers amputated.
The turtle was taken to Loggerhead Marine Life Center in
Juneo Beach, Florida back in January, suffering from predator wounds
to the front flipper. A tracking device has been attached
to Dilly Dally Shell so the Center and the public
(25:48):
can follow her journey now that she's back at sea.

(26:12):
time to get in your business with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini,
who's in for Courtney today morning.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Denise, Good morning. I want to start by talking about cars,
because the RAM is getting its Hemi back, bringing back
the Hemi V eight engine for truck fans who like
more horsepower. It's all part of an effort to claw
back lost share in the highly competitive truck market. Amy
under Stillenta's previous CEO, RAM drop the Hemi engine from
(26:38):
its twenty twenty five model and they put up that
more fuel efficient turbo six cylinder engine called the Hurricane again.
But I guess a lot of people weren't too happy
with that. Now they're bringing this HEMI V eight back.
It's a real gas guzzler. It makes a lot of noise,
and it'll be back on dealer lots in just a
couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
They say, oh that fast. Wow.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Yeah. I mean they really are hoping to kind of
pick up the people that they may have alienated by
trying to get more efficient. I mean, people like not
spending a lot on gas, but then they like having
these peak engines. So what are you going to do?
And another car story I wanted to touch to, well,
not exactly a car story, but Amazon is reportedly developing
(27:23):
software for humanoid robots that could eventually take the job
of delivery workers. And the thing about this is the
information says Amazon is actually putting finishing touches on a
humanoid park. Okay, this is an indoor obstacle course at
one of Amazon's San Francisco offices to test the technology.
I was thinking about this. It's not easy, right for
(27:45):
a delivery person, right always to get to your door.
They've got to get to the right place, the right package.
They have to make sure the dog doesn't bite them,
you know, all this stuff and that they don't break
anything when they go in and a there's a lot
that goes into getting that package delivered, and they're trying
to make sure that their robots can do this because
(28:06):
the idea is these humanoid robots will be able to
ride in the back of an Amazon Electric Rivian van
and then jump out to deliver us packages. So you
might see that sometime, you know, in the near future.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
And the cool thing for the robots is that dog
bites really aren't an issue.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
The dog bites aren't an issue, but if they walk
through your fence, it might be an issue for the homeowners.
That is true. And I don't know they.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Don't like do you answer the door when a robot
comes to knocking?
Speaker 11 (28:33):
I know you.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
You let your robot camera communicate with them without you
having to do anything, right, You just pre program your
robot camera at your door to say thank you, and
as soon as they go away, then you come out
of hiding and you go grab your package.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Okay, all right, let's talk about luxury hotels. There's a
new class of them.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Yeah. You know how it is when you get off
a late night planed right, and you kind of wish
you could just take a shower and it even really
like go to sleep someplace really nice though, right there
at the airport, and you're just like, oh, it's eleven o'clock.
I've just arrived, Or you might be thinking, oh, I
have this flight at six am, so I have to
get up at two. But if only I could like
(29:18):
just wake up at the airport. But who wants to
sleep there right in the sleeping bag on a chair. Well, now,
affluent vacationers and business travelers are paying the big bucks
to stay at luxury hotels and airports just before or
after their flights, according to the Wall Street Journal, And
the one they really point to is the old Grand Hiat.
It's actually inside Terminal D at Dallas Fort Wortz Airport,
(29:41):
and it's now getting this major, major makeover. I think
they're spending something like thirty four million dollars on this
upgrade for this airport hotel to tap into this rising
twin I'm in all right.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Well, I would imagine it's going to have a luxury
price tag too.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Oh yeah, five hundred dollars minimum for one of these five.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Hundred bucks for a shower. Ladies and gentlemen, all right,
What are we expecting on the markets today?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Yeah, stock futures are higher. We did get this report
out on a jobless claims to the weekly claims, and
they did come in a little bit stronger than expected.
These are the unemployment claims, right, But that's in the
perverse world of All Street. That's not actually bad news
because investors think that the job market is weakening, then
maybe the Feddle cut interest rates right, and so Dow
futures are up about seventeen not a lot. S ANDT
(30:29):
futures up to NASDAK up three. But we are setting
up for a positive openness Thursday.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Me. That's always happy news. Bloomberg's Denise Pelgren and getting
in your business. Thanks so much, Denise, appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (30:40):
Pleasure.

Jilly County Sheriff's departments looking for the guy who carjacked
one of its vehicles. Two deputies were in the back
of a work truck yesterday morning near the courthouse in
downtown LA when a man hopped in the driver's seat
and took off. The deputies were able to jump out
when the truck slowed down. The truck was later found
in Guardina. Gas prices are expected to spite up to
sixty five cents a gallon starting next month. Yep, it's
(31:03):
almost here. A bill to repeal the hike in the
gas tax has failed in the state Senate. San Diego
State Senator Brian Jones says Senate Bill two would have
reversed the new fuel regulations that are fueling the high prices.
They say it was voted or He says it was
voted down by majority Democrats. Jones says the closure of
two refineries in California over the next few months could
(31:25):
drive prices even higher. A new long California is going
to address a teacher shortage by providing funding to schools
to pay future teachers. The legislation also encourages applicants from
lower income backgrounds. A cow Matters report says about twenty
eight thousand teachers do a year of training for free
to get their teaching certificates, and because they have to
(31:46):
work for free, it causes a lot of students to
walk away from the program. We're just minutes away from handle.
In the news this morning, a judge has blocked the
deportation of the family of the man who attacked pro
Israeli demonstrators in bolded, Colorado is going to have something
to say about that. Right now, let's check in with
ABC's Peter Hara Lamboo's Peter. The latest in a long
(32:09):
string of orders from President bar bar Our President Trump
bars foreign students from coming to the US to go
to Harvard.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
Yeah, that's exactly right.
Speaker 11 (32:19):
More bad luck for Harvard here, as this battle between
the White House and the country's oldest college and university
escalates overnight. Trump is now borrowing the United States from
allowing foreigners to enter the country to go to Harvard.
This comes just two weeks after the Trump administration tried
to revoke the school's ability to enroll international students. That
(32:40):
was ruled and lawful, But now Trump is using a
different law to try to block foreign students. We'll see
how this fair is in the courts, but one thing's clear.
The Trump administration is still trying to find different ways
to probe Harvard to make life more difficult for him.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Okay, So, Peter, then my question for you is is
this order that bars the students from coming into the
US to go to Harvard is that separate from the
one that he the proclamation or order that he did
yesterday that basically bans travel from people from like twenty countries.
Speaker 11 (33:12):
So they both rely on a similar law, the i NA,
and though they are different in terms of this scope. Right,
So those twelve orders, those twelve countries are blocked pretty
unilaterally from entering the country's citizens from those countries, whereas
the Trump decision pretty much blocks anyone regardless of what
country you're coming from, insofar as you're not a US
that is in the canon, into the United States for
(33:33):
the purposes of studying at Harvard.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Okay, And did you say this was an executive order
or this is just another order that he's trying to,
like you said, trying to go and kind of get
to the same result a different way.
Speaker 11 (33:47):
So this was a proclamation, so it was kind of
similar to an executive order. He's doing it unilaterally, pretty
much just declaring that he's directing the Secretary of State
to execute this change lawful. Less will have to see.
I assume we're going to see some action from Harvard
challenging this in the courts. But it's a different law
than what was used a few weeks ago, and what
(34:07):
was blocked is unlawful by federal judge in.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Boston Okay, so we'll be watching that, and I agree
with you. I would imagine there's going to be immediate
legal action taken against this one.
Speaker 11 (34:18):
Uh, and then we'll have to see yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
And then let's move over because you're also following the
Didy trial in New York and testimony continued yesterday. And
as far as being a really bad guy, things do
not look good for Sean Combs. But are they establishing
the racketeering and the sex trafficking or are they just
showing that he's an awful person.
Speaker 11 (34:43):
So they're certainly prove showing that he's an awful person.
I think that's undoubted. Sean de Combs is not going
to be made a saint anytime soon. But when it
comes to the racketeering, and that's more of a process.
I think yesterday we saw a testimony from a witness
who more so goes to the idea that he's not
a good person than the racketeering that Combs basically dangled
her off a balcony of the seventeenth floor building and
(35:05):
threatened her. Though that doesn't really fall into one of
the predicate crimes under the racketeering Statute, we have seen
other witnesses, though, talk about these underlying crimes that go
to form or to prove racketeering. We heard about Combs's
former assistant saying that she was kidnapped at gunpoint basically
and asked to confront kid Cutty with Combs. We heard
(35:26):
from another witness who says that they bought drugs for Combs.
We heard from other witnesses who allegedly said that they
were sex trafficked by poms. These are other predicate crimes.
At the end of the day, all it takes in
this jury to convict Shron Combs of racketeering conspiracy is
believing that he worked with one other person, at least
one other person to commit two underlying crimes. That's all
(35:47):
it takes. And at this point, the prosecution believed that
he's committed about six or seven different predicate crimes. So
the jury has a lot to choose from.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Okay, so what's coming next? Are they back in in
session today?
Speaker 11 (35:59):
Yeah, consession today at late start at eleven am here
on the East Coast, and we're expecting to hear some
of most dramatic testimony today. They're going to be calling
a woman named Jane that's a pseudonym. She's the third
and final victims of testifying this case. Prosecutors alleged that
she's a single mother who became romantically involved with Combs,
and that she was sex trafficked by Coombs as recently
as last year. We also expect to hear a little
(36:21):
bit about what prosecutors say was witness tampering, where Combs
basically pressured her to say that their sexual encounters were
consensual after investigators began looking into them.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Okay, all right, ABC's Peter Harrlumbus, thank you so much
for the update on both of these very fascinating cases.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Any all right, Peter always has such good good stuff,
and he likes he's a long guy. He loves her
cool last name harlem Bus. Yeah, it's just cool. Yeah,
it took me like six months to say it, right,
all right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A
brush fire along the five Freeway through the Grapevine has
burned more than one hundred and thirty acres, and as
(36:59):
well has been telling you it is affecting traffic. Air
tankers and helicopters have been doing water drops on the fire.
It's five percent surrounded and evacuation warning has been issued
for parts of Lebeck and that you can see that
big plume of smoke as you travel through the area.
The White House has announced they'll be pulling four billion
dollars in federal funding for California's high speed rail project.
(37:22):
Republican Senator Tony Strickland says the project is a complete
failure and is urging his colleagues to just scrap the
whole project.
Speaker 6 (37:30):
This project does proposed, it is supposed to be died
in twenty twenty at thirty three billion dollars. Well, we've
already set over that amount. We haven't laid down one track.
It's now spiraled out of control to one hundred and
twenty eight billion dollars, and it's only going to go
from Merced to Bakersfield.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Strickland says the skyrocketing costs and the lack of transparency
around the mismanagement of the project continues to erode the
public's trust. That four billion dollars in federal grants is
technically still on the table. The White House has threatened
to pull it, but the High Speed Rail Authority has
just over a month to respond to see if they
(38:08):
can continue the funding. LA Mayor Bass has met with
leaders at the Port of Los Angeles about the impacts
of President Trump's tariffs. The group agreed that the unpredictable
nature of the President's policies make it difficult to create
short term forecasts. Despite the tariffs, the port has experienced
ten straight months of year over year growth at the port.
(38:29):
A federal judge has blocked the deportation of the wife
and five children of the man in Boulder, Colorado, charged
with attacking Jewish people with homemade firebombs.
Speaker 16 (38:37):
The judge saying federal authorities shall not remove the family
members unless he or the Tenth US Circuit Court of
Appeals vacates order. The family had filed a lawsuit to
prevent being deported.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
ABC's Alex Stones his Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noum, had
said the family was in the process of being removed
from the US. Officials say the Egyptian man was charged
in Sunday's attack, he overstayed a visa and is in
the country illegally. They probably won't call it be best.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
California is launching a honeybee health program to combat rising
honeybee deaths. The initiative will fund research, promote be friendly
practices for beekeepers and farmers, and provide grants to tribes, schools,
and nonprofits. Honeybees are essential for pollinating over one hundred
crops and supporting the economy. Researchers say their declining populations
are due to climate change, habitat loss, and disease. They
(39:28):
say dying honeybees threatened food security. Mark Ronner, KFI News.

a little extra pep in my step. I don't know why.
Maybe maybe I slept good last night or something, or
maybe I'm just happy to be here and the birds
(00:46):
are and the birds, you know, the birds. Yeah, I'm
starting to get worried. Okay, we're talking about the eagles again.
Up in Big Bear. I'm worried the Gizmo is not
going to leave the nest because Sonny has come back.
The older of the two took off, but now she's
come back and she's just hanging out. And maybe Gizmo
doesn't think that she needs to go.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
This most seems like a homebody.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
She does, and she's adorable. But I didn't I watched
them yesterday because, as you know, my obsession with the Eagles.
I'm gonna have to join EA when this is all over.
Eagles anonymous, But I didn't notice that they were flapping
a lot yesterday and Sonny didn't leave the nest. She's like, hey, yeah,
I've done it. I flew. I'm done, Mom, bring me
a fish. We'll keep watching them. It's interesting to me too,
(01:30):
that like more people are watching now than when they hatched.
There was like eighty thousand yesterday, and that's just at
any given time on the Utah Channel. You can watch
it on Friends of Big Bear Valley website. They've got
a link to it there. National Catchup Day is today.
I don't know what that means, but maybe it means
that I got to go get some fries. Yeah, all right,
(01:51):
here's what's ahead on wake up Call. A man from
Seattle's been charged in connection with the bombing at a
fertility clinic in Palm Springs. Prosecutors say thirty two year
old Daniel Parks supplied two hundred and seventy pounds of
ammonium nitrate used in the explosion that killed the bomber
and injured four others. A fifteen year old boy has
been killed in a crash in the parking lot of
a High School in Studio City. The LAPD says it
(02:13):
looks like the boy was passing between two vehicles and
got pinned between them. It happened yesterday afternoon as students
were being picked up after school. Police say the boy's
father was there to pick him up and saw the
whole thing. You may see smoke rising over a diamond bar.
For the next couple of days. La County Fire cal
Fire and the Orange County Fire Authority are doing a
prescribed burn in Tanner Canyon today and tomorrow to reduce

rift continues between Elon Musk and President Trump actually continues
to build. Musk is railing on the big beautiful bill now.
He says he just wants it thrown out and wants
a new one. Obviously, Trump doesn't think that We're going
to talk with ABC's Karen Travers about all this in
just about three minutes, warning labels on snap foods they're
(03:00):
coming in at least one state, and ABC's Jim Ryan
is going to join us at five point twenty to
tell us whether they'll be coming to a snack food

students are no longer welcome to come to the US
to go to Harvard. ABC's Peter Haralumbus joins us with
the latest between the President and the Ivy League university.
(03:23):
All right, let's get started with some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The
Trump administration has ended nearly four billion dollars in federal
funding for California's high speed rail project.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I command the US Department of Transportation for taking action.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
The Department of Transportation blames mismanagement, miss deadlines, and cost
overruns as the reason for cutting funding. This is the
latest and a series of problems for the project that
was sold to voters as a bullet train between San
Francisco and La Republican Senator Tony Strickland says the project
is a failure and the state should save taxpayer money.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Let's stop wasting California's heart earned taxpayer dollars and put
that money towards better use for all Californians.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
The California High Speed Rail Authority disputes the findings and
has thirty seven days to respond.

Heatherbrooker KFI News. LA Mayor Bass has met with the
shipping industry leaders at the Port of Los Angeles to
hear their concerns about import Texas.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Mayor Bass convened a roundtable meeting at the Port of
Los Angeles to discuss the impacts of mass tariffs on
goods from other countries. Officials say the tariffs have already
impacted businesses at local ports. Port of LA Executive Director
Jean Soroka said the number of ships at port per
week has dropped from ten to twelve to about five
ships in the last seven days. He also said the
difference in business has been noticeable in the last couple
(04:37):
of months. Mayor Bass warned that Angelinos may not realize
the impact yet, but says it's coming. Eileen Gonzalez Ky

federal appeals court. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal says
yoga classes held in public places are protected by the
First Amendment. Who knew Let's say good morning now to
ABC's Karen Travers, so, Karen looks like a riffed building.
(05:06):
Between Elon Musk and President Trump is Musk continues to
rail on the big beautiful bill. Now he says he
just said it should just be tossed out and started over.
Speaker 8 (05:15):
Yeah. I mean he's saying kill the bill.
Speaker 9 (05:17):
That's what he wrote on X yesterday, his social media
platform where he has, you know, hundreds of millions of followers.
He is trying to tank the president's signature.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
Budget bill, his tax policy bill, which.
Speaker 9 (05:29):
Musk is calling a disgusting abomination. He's ramping up pressure
on lawmakers, but he's also telling Americans, call your senator,
call your congressman. Bankrupting America is not okay.
Speaker 8 (05:41):
Kill the bill. This is a really.
Speaker 9 (05:43):
Significant issue for the White House right now. You know,
is it going to change minds on Capitol Hill?
Speaker 8 (05:49):
We'll see.
Speaker 9 (05:50):
But it's not helpful to have somebody who was once
such a part of the inner circle. I mean literally,
just a week ago, somebody who spent more than two
hundred and seventy million dollars to help get the President
and Republicans elected now on the outside not just you know,
grumbling slightly about this piece of legislation, but actively saying
it should not pass.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah. Interesting that there's been such a one to eighty
and like you said, it's not that just there's rumblings.
I mean, it's no. This thing sucks, It needs to
be gone and you need to start over. Is the
President saying anything about it yet about must response.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
Yeah, not yet, And that's notable. We haven't had a
chance to ask the President questions over.
Speaker 8 (06:32):
The last three days.
Speaker 9 (06:32):
That will change today when you sit down in the
Oble Office with the Chancellor of Germany. I can think
that the group that goes in there in the Oble Office,
this is going to be at the top of their list.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
To see his reaction to all of this.
Speaker 9 (06:43):
The White House has brushed it off, as you know, okay,
it's not a news that he doesn't.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Like this bill.
Speaker 8 (06:48):
But you know, that's one thing to not like the bill.
Speaker 9 (06:51):
It's another thing to actively try to tank the legislation
that the administration has made the priority.
Speaker 8 (06:57):
For them right now. That is significant week.
Speaker 9 (07:00):
I was in the obl Office on Friday when President
Trump had his goodbye ceremony for Elon Musk.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
I asked both of them about this.
Speaker 9 (07:06):
Must notably didn't weigh in with the President's sitting right
next to him about his criticisms of the bill, even
though he'd already started talking about that in interviews last week,
but again, this is a significant ramping up of that,
from just criticizing the bill to now saying it can't pass.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Right, and it's it's pretty unusual for Trump to stay
silent about something like this because usually if somebody, you know, punches,
he counter punches. And I'm like, why not, maybe because
it's not he's not saying President Trump screwed up. He's
saying that the bill is bad and not. I mean,
it's just it's an interesting.
Speaker 8 (07:41):
Dynamic, and it's President Trump's bill.
Speaker 9 (07:43):
This is like, you know, Congress is doing this in
a vacuum. This is exactly what President Trump campaigned on.
It's what he wants. It was interesting to see last week,
after Elon Musk first criticized the bill, the President then said, well,
there's some things I didn't like about the House version either,
and now the Senate starts making change and then they'll
send it back over the House.
Speaker 8 (08:02):
But you know, it is still his legislation.
Speaker 9 (08:04):
This is what he wants, it's what his advisors are
pushing lawmakers to move forward on. And ultimately, you know,
this is the administration's agenda. But I think in some
ways maybe he's holding back given the significance of who
Elon Musk is. And again that's the question for the
president today, why haven't you pushed back on what he
is saying when he is trying to tank your bill.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Well, you're going to be in the room, and we
know our John Decker is going to be.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
Oh you're not not today, not my turn today.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
I was there Friday.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Okay, I think kfi's John Decker is going to be there,
so hopefully he'll get a chance up to ask him.
ABC's Karen Travis, thanks so much for the information. As always,
we'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 8 (08:44):
Have a great day.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Thanks right you too. Let's get back to some of
the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A.
President Trump has announced a travel ban and restrictions on
a dozen countries. Most are in the Mid East and Africa.
Trump said yesterday the restrictions are part of a cracked
on what he claims are an influx of attacks carried
out by foreigners.
Speaker 10 (09:03):
The recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado has underscored the
extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of
foreign nationals who are not properly vetted, as well as
those who come here as temporary visitors and overstay their visas.
Speaker 11 (09:19):
We don't want them.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Trump's first travel band was issued in twenty seventeen and
ban traveled to the US by citizens of seven and
predominantly Muslim countries. That order was reworked and upheld by
the Supreme Court in twenty eighteen. A federal judge has
blocked the deportation of the family of the man accused
of throwing molotov cocktails at pro Israeli demonstrators in Colorado.
(09:43):
The district judge said removing the family without due process
could cause irreparable harm. The family of Mohammed Solomon has
sued to stay in the US. Solomon says his family
didn't know he was planning the attack. At least five
people have been killed in a Russian drone strike on
a city in northern Ukraine. A regional governors's six drones
(10:05):
hit residential areas of Priluki early this morning, causing severe
damage to residential buildings. Hours later, seventeen people were hurt
in a Russian drone strike in the city of Kharkiv
in eastern Ukraine. Israel says the bodies of two Israeli
American hostages taken during the Hamas attack in twenty twenty

Israeli special forces finding the bodies of Judy Weinstein and
Gadhi Hagai, a married couple in their seventies, inkanyunis. The
IDF had previously determined terrorists aligned with Hamas killed the
Americans on Near O's and stole their bodies.

SAMAS is still holding fifty six hostages. Israel says it
believes only about a third of them are still alive.
If we're stuck with chatbots, legislators want two child proofs.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
California lawmakers are advancing new rules to improve the safety
of companionship chatbots, especially for children. A bill passed by
the state Senate mandates companies from mind users every three
hours that these chatbots are not real and may not
be suitable for all miners. They must also have protocols
for handling discussions on suicide or self harm and track
how often those topics arise. The legislation target's social interaction
(11:22):
chatbots excluding those used for customer service. The bill now
heads to the Assembly. Mark Ronner, actual human KFI News.

up right here on a wake up Call, so keep
it tuned here. A federal judge in San Francisco's thrown
out a lawsuit filed by the state of California against
President Trump's tariffs. The judge says the case is not
in the right jurisdiction. Governor Newsom and Attorney General Bonta
had argued the tariffs were unconstitutional. Newsom and Bonta can appeal.
(12:35):
California's high speed rail project has hit another hurdle. A
Department of Transportation audit of the seventeen year old project
has revealed that it's failing to meet federal funding requirements
for its grant awards. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the
High Speed Rail Authority now has a month to respond
or it could lose four billion dollars in federal funding.
(12:56):
California's launched a Honeybee Health program to fight the decline
in honeybee populations. The initiative will fund research, promote bee
friendly practices for bee keepers and farmers, and also provide
grants to tribes and schools and nonprofits. They say that
dyeing a honey bees threatened food security because pollination is
essential for more than one hundred crops in California. I'll
(13:19):
just go on the record, I love bees. Moe Kelly
can't stand them. He's scared, scared they do hurt it.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Well, they don't.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I went out to a bee farm and I didn't
get stung once. It's how you react to them too.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
True so I'm always on a bicycle and moving and
it hurts you can't stop.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Suddenly, you know, it's like, oh, that's true. Well, anyway,
we support bees here on Wake Up Call, let's say
good morning now to ABC's Jim Ryan. I bet the
honey wouldn't have a warning label on it, but some
snack foods.
Speaker 13 (13:55):
Oh you know what honey does. Honey does give it
to babies under one year or two years. You're not
supposed to give it to the little kids.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Oh but that's not that's not the snack food warnings
we're talking about right now. No, okay, let's talk about those.
Speaker 13 (14:09):
These relate to chemicals, colorings, food additives that we find
in things sodium aluminium sulfate for example, sterile tar trait,
things that you've never heard of. And you know that's
kind of been the rule of thumb for some time.
If you can't pronounce it, you probably shouldn't eat it.
So the Texas legislature what it did was to pass
(14:31):
this thing unanimously. By the way, this provision, it's it's
a wide ranging health provision called make Texas Healthy Again.
That sound familiar, and one provision would require these warning
labels that say it contains ingredients quote not recommended for
human consumption.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
That's kind of si.
Speaker 13 (14:52):
Yeah, but the alternative, I mean that that's the compromise.
There were folks who said, let's just leave it alone,
forget about it. Then there were those who are saying,
we need to ban these things in food products here
in Texas and somewhere in the middle they met and said, now,
let's just put a warning label on it for now
and see what happened. So, additives in some snack foods,
(15:13):
the Rito's for example, some soft drinks, some candies, they
could all be subject to these warning labels in Texas.
And you know what if that happens here, amy, it's
likely to happen elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Well, yeah, because you won't end up printing labels that
are different if for every state.
Speaker 13 (15:31):
Right right, So when you get a big state like
Texas or California or New York Florida. You know, it's
like textbooks. These big states kind of govern how textbooks
are because the publishers want to put out just one
version and spread it across the country. The same holds
true for the food manufacturers. They just want to print
one package, one label, and ship that out nationwide to
(15:54):
save money.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Okay, So then here's my question. As additives and guys
and that kind of thing are pulled off of this,
you know, taken out of the snack foods, as is
supposed to happen, will those warning labels be able to
come off?
Speaker 6 (16:09):
Probably?
Speaker 13 (16:10):
I would think they would. Even bleached flower is all
on this list here, stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Like that not not good for human consumption, right, wow, Right,
So it's not only snack foods, it's like lots of foods.
Speaker 13 (16:24):
But but you know, you'd find bleach flower in a
lot of different things. Breakfast cereals, for example, they.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Find it in a in a bag of bleached flower too.
Speaker 13 (16:33):
Well, that's true. And if this all kind of rings,
you know, familiar, it's because and some of the folks
who voted for this said they got calls of support,
phone calls of support from Health and Human Services Secretary
Robert F. Kennedy Junior. So he's standing behind this. And
I suspect that they'll use Texas as kind of the
(16:55):
proven ground to see if this could hold in other
states too.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Okay.
Speaker 13 (17:00):
The food manufacturers, by the way, say the stuff they
put in their food, the additives, the flavorings, the colors
are safe safe for human consumption. But and you know,
they're they're kind of pushing back on this.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
So the other thing that's sort of interesting to me
or makes me curious about is there right now they're
just going to put the warning label on, but like,
are they going to maybe expand it and show pictures
of like morbidly obese people or diseased hearts or something,
you know, like they do with cigarettes in the euroc Yeah,
(17:34):
they show like we were we were just over there
and they had like they'd show like a disease lung
or a clogged artery. I mean then like pictures of
it and people who've had like their faces cut off,
and like, I mean, it was just it's crazy. How
and everybody over in Europe smokes, so obviously the warning
labels don't work.
Speaker 13 (17:51):
But yeah, if it was meant as a deterrent, it
probably didn't work there. Somehow it worked here, you know,
warning labels and super high taxes and that I think
that's probably what they lack in Europe, is the super
high taxes on cigarettes and tobacco products, And that's why
they're still out there and popular being bought smoked and used.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah. Okay, So when are these warning labels going to
start showing up.
Speaker 13 (18:13):
Well, first, the Governor's going to have to sign it,
and he undoubtedly will. I mean, the Republican controlled Senate
has approved it. The House already passed it here in
Texas and sent it on to the governor for his signature.
He undoubtedly will sign it. You know, he wants to
stay in good with the Trump administration and with RFK Junior,
and so he'll sign it. So it could be September.
(18:34):
I think September is when this would take effect, if
in fact it does.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Okay, we'll be watching for it. ABC's Jim Ryan, thanks
so much, thank you. We should put a warning label
on wake up call, be careful. It's all kindness and fun,
how about that? Okay? Yeah, and talk of eagles, how
are those eagles doing? Oh, they're up. Okay, let's get
back to some of the stories coming out of the
(18:57):
KFI twenty four our newsroom. Teen year old boy who
got pinned between two cars in the parking lot of
Campbell High School and Studio City has died at the hospital.
LAPD Lieutenant Matt Bielski says the collision happened yesterday afternoon
as cars lined up to pick up students after school.
The teen was apparently trying to pass between two of
(19:18):
the vehicles.
Speaker 14 (19:19):
At this time, since it was determined to be an accident,
there won't be any citations given, as you can understand,
it's an unfortunately for both families.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
The boy's father witnessed the crash. School officials say they
are heartbroken and that there will be no classes or
final exams today. Counselors are going to be available later
this morning to talk to students. A man who survived
a machete attack in downtown La says he had just
walked home from work when he was attacked. Kyle Levitt
tells KTLA he was trying to unlock his building's door
(19:52):
early Sunday when a man ran up behind him and
he felt a blow to his head.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I'd put my arms up to say stop, and then
that's when he had hit me again.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
It was also hit on his right wrist.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
My tendons were cut completely down to the bone, my
artery was cut.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
He needed surgery to save his hand. He says his
attacker never spoke, but had what he said were crazy eyes.
The guy was arrested. Billy say another man attacked moments
before Levitt was killed. Eight pounds of meth has been
seized at the US Mexico border in San Diego. Border
Patrol agents say three vehicles spotted by agents on Monday
(20:32):
night were carrying sixty bundles of drugs. They were on
their way to motels in Santy Cidro and Chula Vista.
The estimated street value of the meth around six million dollars.
Dairy workers in several states, including California, have voted to
authorize a strike overstalled contract talks with dairy farmers. They
say they want better pay, benefits, and workplace safety. The
(20:55):
unions's strike of more than a thousand workers could disrupt
the apply chain. One worker says they know how much
dairy farmers make and they want their fair share. The
Marine Mammal Care Center is declared the end of a
toxic algae bloom that has sickened and killed animals up
and down the southern California coast.
Speaker 15 (21:15):
Officials with the center also released four recovered sea lion
perhaps back into the ocean on Wednesday. The algae bloom,
which caused demoic acid poisoning devastated marine life for fourteen weeks.
Earlier this year, Marine Mammal Care Center CEO John Warner
says it was the longest lasting toxic algae bloom on record.
The one in twenty twenty three lasted eight and a
half weeks. Mark Mayfield Kofi News.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Did you see that they released a like one hundred
and six I think they've saved one hundred and sixty
of the sea lions who got sick, and they released
some of them on Venice Beach yesterday. Yeah. They were
very cute, man, They're very happy to be headed home. Yeah,
diving around in the water like whoo, We're free. With
another hot, dry summer predicted, the San Bernardino City Councils
(21:59):
considering a ban on all fireworks ahead of the fourth
of July. Council members discussed it yesterday and said even
safe and sane fireworks can be dangerous. Burglars with a
blow torch have wiped out a jewelry store in Encino.
Police say this burglary is similar to several others recently
in the Southland. The burglars got in through the wall
of a vacant store next to the Encino Jewelry Mark
(22:22):
early Monday morning and got into the safe using a
blow torch, which they cleaned out. Police say they spent
about three hours inside the jewelry store. The Autopia ride
at Disneyland had to shut down yesterday. Get this. One
of the cars jumped the track and crashed up an
embankment into Maorwland. I don't know how that happens. They've
got those guides, yeah, that like keep them on the
(22:45):
and they don't go very fast, so it's not like
you could, you know, get a running start and floor
it and jump over the track. So something obviously broke.
At six oh five, handle on the news, President Trump
is issued a new travel band to people from like
twenty countries who are trying to get into the US.
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
(23:07):
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A warning for
freshwater fish eaters. A study published in the Journal of
Infectious Diseases says more than ninety percent of popular freshwater
fish in southern California, like largemouth bass and bluegill, carry
parasites that can make people sick and, in rare cases,
can cause strokes or heart attacks. The FDA advises to
(23:29):
cook fish thoroughly or if eating raw freeze at first
freezing apparently kills parasites. The Torrents PTA is asking for
help for a fourth grader detained by ice Martyr.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Garcia Lara is a student at Torrens Elementary School. On
May twenty ninth, he attended an immigration hearing in Houston,
Texas with his father, but instead of getting an update
on his father's immigration status, a boy and his father
were separated and detained.
Speaker 16 (23:53):
By himself, without his dad, without a parent, and just
in a place that he probably doesn't know.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
HETA President Jasmin King told KYLA that they have reached
out to federal, state, and local leaders for help, and
they're asking other parents in the community to help in
any way they can. Heather Brooker KFI News.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
President Trump has directed the Justice Department to investigate the
actions of former President Biden, saying aids masked his cognitive decline.
Trump has also raised questions about the use of the
auto pen designed pardons and other documents. ABC's Andrew Dimbert
says Biden calls the suggestions ridiculous and.
Speaker 17 (24:27):
False, Biden calling Trump's order nothing more than a mere distraction,
saying I made the decisions during my presidency. I made
the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Trump's memmo says the American public was purposefully shielded from
discovering who wielded the executive power, all while Biden's signature
was deployed across thousands of documents to affect radical policy shifts.
Amazon plans to invest a lot of money for a
new data center and AI campus.
Speaker 18 (24:58):
Amazon is expanding its cloud computing, infrastructure and artificial intelligence
activity in North Carolina. The company said yesterday it intends
to invest ten billion dollars toward building a campus in
Richmond County. The company says this will be good for
the region where textile and apparel jobs dried up a
generation ago. Amazon said its investment should create at least
(25:18):
five hundred jobs and support thousands more through construction and
data center supply chain providers depor Mark Koffi News.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
A rehabilitated sea turtle named Dilly Dally has been returned
to the Atlantic Ocean after having one of her flippers amputated.
The turtle was taken to Loggerhead Marine Life Center in
Juneo Beach, Florida back in January, suffering from predator wounds
to the front flipper. A tracking device has been attached
to Dilly Dally Shell so the Center and the public
(25:48):
can follow her journey now that she's back at sea.

games on the iHeartRadio app. Keyword angel City FC. Okay,
(26:12):
time to get in your business with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini,
who's in for Courtney today morning.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Denise, Good morning. I want to start by talking about cars,
because the RAM is getting its Hemi back, bringing back
the Hemi V eight engine for truck fans who like
more horsepower. It's all part of an effort to claw
back lost share in the highly competitive truck market. Amy
under Stillenta's previous CEO, RAM drop the Hemi engine from
(26:38):
its twenty twenty five model and they put up that
more fuel efficient turbo six cylinder engine called the Hurricane again.
But I guess a lot of people weren't too happy
with that. Now they're bringing this HEMI V eight back.
It's a real gas guzzler. It makes a lot of noise,
and it'll be back on dealer lots in just a
couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
They say, oh that fast. Wow.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Yeah. I mean they really are hoping to kind of
pick up the people that they may have alienated by
trying to get more efficient. I mean, people like not
spending a lot on gas, but then they like having
these peak engines. So what are you going to do?
And another car story I wanted to touch to, well,
not exactly a car story, but Amazon is reportedly developing
(27:23):
software for humanoid robots that could eventually take the job
of delivery workers. And the thing about this is the
information says Amazon is actually putting finishing touches on a
humanoid park. Okay, this is an indoor obstacle course at
one of Amazon's San Francisco offices to test the technology.
I was thinking about this. It's not easy, right for
(27:45):
a delivery person, right always to get to your door.
They've got to get to the right place, the right package.
They have to make sure the dog doesn't bite them,
you know, all this stuff and that they don't break
anything when they go in and a there's a lot
that goes into getting that package delivered, and they're trying
to make sure that their robots can do this because
(28:06):
the idea is these humanoid robots will be able to
ride in the back of an Amazon Electric Rivian van
and then jump out to deliver us packages. So you
might see that sometime, you know, in the near future.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
And the cool thing for the robots is that dog
bites really aren't an issue.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
The dog bites aren't an issue, but if they walk
through your fence, it might be an issue for the homeowners.
That is true. And I don't know they.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Don't like do you answer the door when a robot
comes to knocking?
Speaker 11 (28:33):
I know you.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
You let your robot camera communicate with them without you
having to do anything, right, You just pre program your
robot camera at your door to say thank you, and
as soon as they go away, then you come out
of hiding and you go grab your package.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Okay, all right, let's talk about luxury hotels. There's a
new class of them.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Yeah. You know how it is when you get off
a late night planed right, and you kind of wish
you could just take a shower and it even really
like go to sleep someplace really nice though, right there
at the airport, and you're just like, oh, it's eleven o'clock.
I've just arrived, Or you might be thinking, oh, I
have this flight at six am, so I have to
get up at two. But if only I could like
(29:18):
just wake up at the airport. But who wants to
sleep there right in the sleeping bag on a chair. Well, now,
affluent vacationers and business travelers are paying the big bucks
to stay at luxury hotels and airports just before or
after their flights, according to the Wall Street Journal, And
the one they really point to is the old Grand Hiat.
It's actually inside Terminal D at Dallas Fort Wortz Airport,
(29:41):
and it's now getting this major, major makeover. I think
they're spending something like thirty four million dollars on this
upgrade for this airport hotel to tap into this rising
twin I'm in all right.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Well, I would imagine it's going to have a luxury
price tag too.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Oh yeah, five hundred dollars minimum for one of these five.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Hundred bucks for a shower. Ladies and gentlemen, all right,
What are we expecting on the markets today?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Yeah, stock futures are higher. We did get this report
out on a jobless claims to the weekly claims, and
they did come in a little bit stronger than expected.
These are the unemployment claims, right, But that's in the
perverse world of All Street. That's not actually bad news
because investors think that the job market is weakening, then
maybe the Feddle cut interest rates right, and so Dow
futures are up about seventeen not a lot. S ANDT
(30:29):
futures up to NASDAK up three. But we are setting
up for a positive openness Thursday.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Me. That's always happy news. Bloomberg's Denise Pelgren and getting
in your business. Thanks so much, Denise, appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (30:40):

Speaker 1 (30:41):
Jilly County Sheriff's departments looking for the guy who carjacked
one of its vehicles. Two deputies were in the back
of a work truck yesterday morning near the courthouse in
downtown LA when a man hopped in the driver's seat
and took off. The deputies were able to jump out
when the truck slowed down. The truck was later found
in Guardina. Gas prices are expected to spite up to
sixty five cents a gallon starting next month. Yep, it's
(31:03):
almost here. A bill to repeal the hike in the
gas tax has failed in the state Senate. San Diego
State Senator Brian Jones says Senate Bill two would have
reversed the new fuel regulations that are fueling the high prices.
They say it was voted or He says it was
voted down by majority Democrats. Jones says the closure of
two refineries in California over the next few months could
(31:25):
drive prices even higher. A new long California is going
to address a teacher shortage by providing funding to schools
to pay future teachers. The legislation also encourages applicants from
lower income backgrounds. A cow Matters report says about twenty
eight thousand teachers do a year of training for free
to get their teaching certificates, and because they have to
(31:46):
work for free, it causes a lot of students to
walk away from the program. We're just minutes away from handle.
In the news this morning, a judge has blocked the
deportation of the family of the man who attacked pro
Israeli demonstrators in bolded, Colorado is going to have something
to say about that. Right now, let's check in with
ABC's Peter Hara Lamboo's Peter. The latest in a long
(32:09):
string of orders from President bar bar Our President Trump
bars foreign students from coming to the US to go
to Harvard.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
Yeah, that's exactly right.
Speaker 11 (32:19):
More bad luck for Harvard here, as this battle between
the White House and the country's oldest college and university
escalates overnight. Trump is now borrowing the United States from
allowing foreigners to enter the country to go to Harvard.
This comes just two weeks after the Trump administration tried
to revoke the school's ability to enroll international students. That
(32:40):
was ruled and lawful, But now Trump is using a
different law to try to block foreign students. We'll see
how this fair is in the courts, but one thing's clear.
The Trump administration is still trying to find different ways
to probe Harvard to make life more difficult for him.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Okay, So, Peter, then my question for you is is
this order that bars the students from coming into the
US to go to Harvard is that separate from the
one that he the proclamation or order that he did
yesterday that basically bans travel from people from like twenty countries.
Speaker 11 (33:12):
So they both rely on a similar law, the i NA,
and though they are different in terms of this scope. Right,
So those twelve orders, those twelve countries are blocked pretty
unilaterally from entering the country's citizens from those countries, whereas
the Trump decision pretty much blocks anyone regardless of what
country you're coming from, insofar as you're not a US
that is in the canon, into the United States for
(33:33):
the purposes of studying at Harvard.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Okay, And did you say this was an executive order
or this is just another order that he's trying to,
like you said, trying to go and kind of get
to the same result a different way.
Speaker 11 (33:47):
So this was a proclamation, so it was kind of
similar to an executive order. He's doing it unilaterally, pretty
much just declaring that he's directing the Secretary of State
to execute this change lawful. Less will have to see.
I assume we're going to see some action from Harvard
challenging this in the courts. But it's a different law
than what was used a few weeks ago, and what
(34:07):
was blocked is unlawful by federal judge in.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Boston Okay, so we'll be watching that, and I agree
with you. I would imagine there's going to be immediate
legal action taken against this one.
Speaker 11 (34:18):
Uh, and then we'll have to see yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
And then let's move over because you're also following the
Didy trial in New York and testimony continued yesterday. And
as far as being a really bad guy, things do
not look good for Sean Combs. But are they establishing
the racketeering and the sex trafficking or are they just
showing that he's an awful person.
Speaker 11 (34:43):
So they're certainly prove showing that he's an awful person.
I think that's undoubted. Sean de Combs is not going
to be made a saint anytime soon. But when it
comes to the racketeering, and that's more of a process.
I think yesterday we saw a testimony from a witness
who more so goes to the idea that he's not
a good person than the racketeering that Combs basically dangled
her off a balcony of the seventeenth floor building and
(35:05):
threatened her. Though that doesn't really fall into one of
the predicate crimes under the racketeering Statute, we have seen
other witnesses, though, talk about these underlying crimes that go
to form or to prove racketeering. We heard about Combs's
former assistant saying that she was kidnapped at gunpoint basically
and asked to confront kid Cutty with Combs. We heard
(35:26):
from another witness who says that they bought drugs for Combs.
We heard from other witnesses who allegedly said that they
were sex trafficked by poms. These are other predicate crimes.
At the end of the day, all it takes in
this jury to convict Shron Combs of racketeering conspiracy is
believing that he worked with one other person, at least
one other person to commit two underlying crimes. That's all
(35:47):
it takes. And at this point, the prosecution believed that
he's committed about six or seven different predicate crimes. So
the jury has a lot to choose from.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Okay, so what's coming next? Are they back in in
session today?
Speaker 11 (35:59):
Yeah, consession today at late start at eleven am here
on the East Coast, and we're expecting to hear some
of most dramatic testimony today. They're going to be calling
a woman named Jane that's a pseudonym. She's the third
and final victims of testifying this case. Prosecutors alleged that
she's a single mother who became romantically involved with Combs,
and that she was sex trafficked by Coombs as recently
as last year. We also expect to hear a little
(36:21):
bit about what prosecutors say was witness tampering, where Combs
basically pressured her to say that their sexual encounters were
consensual after investigators began looking into them.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Okay, all right, ABC's Peter Harrlumbus, thank you so much
for the update on both of these very fascinating cases.
Speaker 6 (36:38):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Any all right, Peter always has such good good stuff,
and he likes he's a long guy. He loves her
cool last name harlem Bus. Yeah, it's just cool. Yeah,
it took me like six months to say it, right,
all right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A
brush fire along the five Freeway through the Grapevine has
burned more than one hundred and thirty acres, and as
(36:59):
well has been telling you it is affecting traffic. Air
tankers and helicopters have been doing water drops on the fire.
It's five percent surrounded and evacuation warning has been issued
for parts of Lebeck and that you can see that
big plume of smoke as you travel through the area.
The White House has announced they'll be pulling four billion
dollars in federal funding for California's high speed rail project.
(37:22):
Republican Senator Tony Strickland says the project is a complete
failure and is urging his colleagues to just scrap the
whole project.
Speaker 6 (37:30):
This project does proposed, it is supposed to be died
in twenty twenty at thirty three billion dollars. Well, we've
already set over that amount. We haven't laid down one track.
It's now spiraled out of control to one hundred and
twenty eight billion dollars, and it's only going to go
from Merced to Bakersfield.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Strickland says the skyrocketing costs and the lack of transparency
around the mismanagement of the project continues to erode the
public's trust. That four billion dollars in federal grants is
technically still on the table. The White House has threatened
to pull it, but the High Speed Rail Authority has
just over a month to respond to see if they
(38:08):
can continue the funding. LA Mayor Bass has met with
leaders at the Port of Los Angeles about the impacts
of President Trump's tariffs. The group agreed that the unpredictable
nature of the President's policies make it difficult to create
short term forecasts. Despite the tariffs, the port has experienced
ten straight months of year over year growth at the port.
(38:29):
A federal judge has blocked the deportation of the wife
and five children of the man in Boulder, Colorado, charged
with attacking Jewish people with homemade firebombs.
Speaker 16 (38:37):
The judge saying federal authorities shall not remove the family
members unless he or the Tenth US Circuit Court of
Appeals vacates order. The family had filed a lawsuit to
prevent being deported.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
ABC's Alex Stones his Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noum, had
said the family was in the process of being removed
from the US. Officials say the Egyptian man was charged
in Sunday's attack, he overstayed a visa and is in
the country illegally. They probably won't call it be best.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
California is launching a honeybee health program to combat rising
honeybee deaths. The initiative will fund research, promote be friendly
practices for beekeepers and farmers, and provide grants to tribes, schools,
and nonprofits. Honeybees are essential for pollinating over one hundred
crops and supporting the economy. Researchers say their declining populations
are due to climate change, habitat loss, and disease. They
(39:28):
say dying honeybees threatened food security. Mark Ronner, KFI News.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
