New Russian & Ukraine War Updates

is a lot that's going on in another continent. Both the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegsath the Vice President Evans they are in Europe right now and are expected to have some major discussions when it comes to the peace potential between Russia and Ukraine. Vladimir Zelenski has said that he's not going to agree to anything unless he is

involved in the discussions. We know yesterday that President Trump called Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelenski to talk with both of them about it, so that'll come up in a few minutes. We'll discuss what's going on also in the shadow of this Munich Peace Conference, the Munich discussions this meeting, there was a terrorist attack. Somebody drove a car into a group, killed about twenty eight people, So we'll talk

about that also coming up at ten thirty. It's a good day to do it because we're not worried about fires today, but the sort of aftermath of Palisades and the Eton fires. We'll talk about what's going on in terms of the testing for contaminants in the soil, but also how close things got to an absolute catach astrophe up north when that fire broke out, the Hughes fire near Castaic. We almost had to empty out a jail. That probably would not have been a very very good idea.

the border with Mexico to the border with Oregon. We are seeing rain and snow throughout California as a result of this storm. And here in La County, the expectation is this afternoon and evening is when it's going to get really heavy.

of the storm. But some of the places up in central California are already absolutely getting blasted by some of the storm. We've seen four inches of rain already in a few places in San Luis Obispo County. The biggest issue right now is going to be keeping an eye on the burn scar areas. Whether it's the Palisades Fire, the Eaten fire, the Hughes fire, all of them are potential disasters waiting to happen because of the mudslide potential that's out there. So in the Palisades area, the area

is now limited to residents only until tomorrow afternoon. Contractors with passes will not be allowed to go into the Palisades area. Evacuation warnings issued for the Getty Villa area, portion of the Highlands neighborhood near the Burns, the northern section of Bien Venita Avenue, a northern section of Temis called Canyon Road, northern edge of Marinette Road and Oracle Place, and the area right around Will Rogers State Park Road, all of them as of right now under evacuation warnings

because of the potential for things to get worse. Malibu Brentwood, Sunset Mesa, some of the places in Hollywood and Hollywood Hills West, all of them in Silmar. Also the evacuation warnings in effect for a few homes on the western edge of the Oak Ridge Mobile Home Park. I mean, this is just we're going to be basically hanging on by our fingernails over the course of the next few hours, trying to see if this thing is going to dump

as much rain as is expected. Orange County along the canyons, all of them Tribuco Hot Springs, Bell Long Majesca areas of risk because of the debrif Row flow because of the airport fire, and the evacuation warning is in effect and has been so for about an hour and then out. In San Bernardino County, evacuation warning is issued for the unincorporated communities the Mount Baldy Village, right Wood, some of the northern and eastern neighborhoods in the City of Highland

because of all of this. So if there are problems, if you see them, you can always leave us a message on the talkback feature on the iHeart app, and all you can do is hit that little button or if you have you know a little device in your home that listens to you all the time, the Google or the oh You could just say, hey, send a message to KFI and then she'll record it and send

it right to us. So now we'll get to that all right again, a major shift internationally when it comes to how we're looking at the end whatever that is of the Russian aggression in Ukraine. We'll talk about all of the moves that have been made over the course of the you say, last twenty four thirty six hours, and what it means going forward.

at one thousand dollars. Elmer's going to hit that thing here in a second. Elmer anytime one thousand dollars and you a chance.

things as Patrick Reevel was describing there. Pete Hegseth is in Brussels and has been talking with military leaders from other countries as well, secretary level military officials about not just Ukraine, but all of Northern and Eastern Europe.

some of that land will come back. It sounds like that's the kind of deal that Trump wants to put in place, to give up some of the land to exchange basically exchange some of the Russian occupied territory right now, whether it's Crimea or other portions back to Ukraine, and then Ukraine would give up something like the Cursk region farther to the east in Ukraine, which has already got a bunch of Russian nationals that live there, they speak

the Russian language, etc. That's one of the reasons that Vladimir Putin went in there in the first place. But he had said, he being Trump, that this we've got to end this. It's time to stop this ridiculous war. There has been massive, totally unnecessary death and destruction, and he wrote, God bless the people of Russia and Ukraine. Now tomorrow is when the Munich Security Conference kicks off. Munich is where Jade Vance is going to be the

vice president. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is going to be there. And there was an event early this morning where where at least twenty eight people wounded after a car drove into a group of people in Munich. German newspaper reported at least two or in serious condition, a child in critical condition. Eyewitnesses said that a car ran to a woman with a child and that the mother and child were lying under the car. Munich police said

a major police operation in the area was underway. This is by the way, a few blocks away from where this Munich security conference is supposed to be taking place starting tomorrow. Munich police have arrested a guy. They described him as a twenty four year old Afghan asylum seeker. He was detained there on site. They said there is no other there is no further danger. The attack occurred

during a what they called the Verdi strike. It's called the Verdi strike because the trade union, the Verity Trade Union, is part of an ongoing wage dispute, and eyewitnesses said that they saw two men involved in the attack and also heard some shots being fired before the driver of the car was detained. But at this point they said, it is suspected that this was a terrorist attack there

again in Munich. In the background of all of that, of course, you've got the ongoing discussion about what's going to go with the Hamas releasing hostages.

Santa Barbara right about now through early afternoon. The expectation for La County is for a little bit later in the afternoon, but right around drive time, Right around sort of the four o'clock to nine o'clock is when the expectation when we expect it to peak. A car attack in Munich has injured at least twenty eight people, including kids, German anti terrorism officials. An asylum seeker from Afghanistan has been arrested. He drove a car through a protest that

was taking place. The Senate confirmed RFK Junior as Health and Human Services Secretary today, So he will take over a department with about a one point seven trillion dollar budget, eighty thousand employees. It regulates vaccines, It decides which prescription drugs can be sold. It provides health insurance for millions

of people, and responds to breakouts of infectious diseases. That yet another cabinet member that's been confirmed, Linda McMahon, is the latest cabinet member to go under Gopher confirmation hearings. She is the choice for Education Secretary, and she told a confirmation hearing today she is prepared to enact President Trump's education vision if confirmed. But part of that includes getting rid of the Department of Education altogether at some point.

were bad. It was just a across the board, if you want to get out, now, we'll give you eight months pay, eight months benefits, but you got to take

your keys and boom scooch. Well, there were federal unions, federal employee unions that brought a lawsuit and a district judge, Judge George O'Toole put that plan on hold because last week there was a deadline that existed, and what the judge said was, we're going to need some more time for me to look at this and to see if in fact we need if this is legal, if it

would pass legal muster. The federal judge yesterday then told the administration you can go forward with the deferred resignation offer for federal employees and when he did that, seventy five thousand federal workers accepted the package. According to a spokesperson for the Office of Personnel Management, when it happened, when the judge said, Okay, we can allow this to happen, President Trump said it ends tonight, and in fact last

night the program closed. The offer would allow these people to leave their jobs but be paid through like I said the end of September. The reason that the judge allowed this to happen was he said that the unions that filed suit were not directly impacted by the offer, which meant they had no case. They lacked standing, which is a term we've used a bunch of times. They didn't have the standing to bring the case. He had

previously issued that temporary restraining order against the program. The seventy five thousand federal employees, by the way, who took this offer of the eight months pay and benefits is about four percent of the federal employees that would have been offered this plan. Not all of them would be potentially able to take it, since the administration did exempt some positions after they sent out the offer, but the number of people in that situation would be very low.

The White House has said that the target in terms of cutting the federal workforce was somewhere between five percent and ten percent. Their plan was to get somewhere between five and ten percent. To take these these deferred resignations, the president took a step to prepare for widespread layoffs among those who remain. In fact, eligible employees initially had

until the end of last Thursday night to apply. As I mentioned, the judge, of course, had put that on hold, so the Trump administration extended the deadline to just before midnight on Monday.

administration's designated deferred resignation offer. The program was challenged I mentioned by the unions, the American Federation of Government Employees and several other unions because they argued that it was illegal, and they argued that it was going to harm them because it would divert resources to address the title wave of inquiries and counseling quests that the directive had caused. They refer to it as the Fork Directive because One of the memo lines, apparently in the email that went

out to people, was the fork in the road. The judge said the harms were not sufficient to give the unions the legal right, the standing to bring the lawsuit in the first place. So lawyers for the American Federation Governor Employees, the Big Union are figuring this out. They're talking about their next steps. They obviously could continue farther up the chain in terms of their judicial recourse in this case. The White House Press Secretary yesterday praised the

ruling by the judge. She suggested some judges hearing cases pending against the Trump administration were judicial activists. It's kind of funny how once the thing goes their way, they're not claiming that this is judicial activism, but if it goes against them, then it must be judicial activism. You can't have it both ways. But the unions have been

making a lot of emergency claims. They've been filing lawsuit after lawsuit to try to stop DOGE, this Department of Government efficiency Elon Musk's group, because of privacy issues, because of employment law issues, and other issues. And the judge noted in his ruling that the court there in DC the District Court has already held that unions cannot go straight to federal district court on a lot of matters

under the Federal Labor Relations Authority. So they're going to have to find the other lane, basically legal lane, to challenge all of this. Now, speaking of Doze, President Trump is expected to hold a news conference. It's supposed to be at the top of the hour. We know that he is hosting Indian Prime Minister Modi at the White House later today, much later.

attorneys say exonerates him. Maybe we'll explain what this new DNA evidence is we come back.

as planned. That would pave the way toward resolving a pretty big dispute over the ceasefire and the Gaza strip. Hamas had originally said they were going to delay the next release of Israeli hostages because they accused Israel of not meeting its obligations to allow intents and shelters, among some other alleged violations of the truce. Israel said it will go right back to fighting Hamas if those hostages

are not freed as scheduled. We've talked many times about the Idaho quadruple murders the University of Idaho, Madison Mogan, Kaylei gonzolvz Xanaker Noodle, and Ethan Chapin, all between twenty twenty one years old, and the heroin addict turned criminology student from Washington State who was accused of killing them, Brian Coberger.

then recreated the family tree to point to Brian Coberger, a guy who not only lived close but has very little in way of an alibi for the night of the murders at this case. At this point, Howard Bloom, an author that we spoke to who's already written about this murder and believes that Brian Coburger is the is the person who did it. He said that that piece of DNA, the crux of this case, is smaller than

a speck of floating dust. That's how that's how tiny this little speck of DNA was on this knife sheath that they found under the body of one of the women. Now the defense is saying they have proof that it wasn't him, and their proof is two unidentified male blood samples also at that house. One was on a handrail at the house and one was on a glove outside the house, both of them recovered by investigators after the

stabbing deaths. That's not enough to say that someone else was there and did it, but it is enough for a defense attorney to throw it against the wall and see what sticks and suggest somehow that investigators in Idaho didn't do their due diligence. They never investigated to find out who those other blood samples belonged to. I mean, they're just throwing it at the wall at this point. And in fact, this week when they went before the judge,

they were shot down by the judge pretty hard. The attorney said that detectives had misled the magistrate in the case with their probable cause affidavit by leaving out the

details about the other blood that was found. So the judge is trying to drill down in the connection between the suspect and the DNA that was found under Maddie's body, And the judge says, how does that, even if they tell us, how, even if it's disclosed, preclude of finding a probable cause When there's a DNA match between the DNA on the sheath on that knife sheath and Brian Coberger,

isn't that probable cause? Every day and twice on Sunday that again, this is the judge talking to the defense attorneys. What does a knife sheath at a scene mean? Said the defense attorney. That's going to be the ultimate question. Well, when four people are stabbed to death, the knife sheath usually means that was the sheath that held the murder weapon.

He's now worried that this guy might get off, that the guy might walk. He said, over two and a half years, he spent weeks in that town where the students were killed. He's talked to all the law enforcement, all the witnesses, everybody around, and he says, I am absolutely convinced that Coburger is guilty of the murders. But his opinion, I mean, but his opinion doesn't mean very much because it's the judge and the jury that get

to decide this. And he said, several stunning courtroom revelations have left me thinking about the previously unthinkable that this guy might walk, And it could be because of simple things like weird random blood samples that existed on a handrail and on a glove outside the house. That might be what gets him to walk off of this crime. Up next, President Trump is expected old a news conference

from the White House. When he starts, we'll get into that, but we're going to be talking a little bit about what Elon Musk has said about the deletion of entire federal agencies. Oh and this limestone, mind where we keep files. It's not fake, it's a real thing, and it's literally out of the fifties.
