Cam I Am six forty. You're listening to wake Up Call on demand on the iHeart Radio app. It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's Jason Middleton. Morning everybody, this is your wake up call. It is Tuesday, June twenty seven. I was just stacking the news. That's where choosing story order and whatnot whenever you get ready to do your show. And there is a lot going on today and a lot coming up later as well, but real quickly, no racted updates. There were no spiders in my
pants this morning. That came out yesterday morning, twenty fires. Just staying and I still haven't been able to determine why Batman is one word. I don't think. I'm looking at Tyler seeing if he gave any thought this spider Man's hyphenated, Batman's one word, iron Man's two words. I don't. All right, that's enough. Let's get a couple of headlines and then we're going to get into what we have coming up for the next hour. We
have several interviews coming up. We're gonna check the Russia thing. We also have some PTSD data and we're gonna look at Mars. And yesterday we talked about cornhole. Today, we're gonna talk about pickleball. That's a teas first headlines, it's dock at day. The Supreme Court has set to hand down key decisions this morning that could address student debt, relief, affirmative action, federal election laws, among others. The Court is entering its last week of
the summer session. Ten cases are pending. They're expected to drop around seven am. President Boutin says a march on Moscow by a group of mercenary soldiers was criminal activity. The Russian leader says the organizers of the rebellion will be brought to justice. In related reports, no charges seem to be pending. In headline jargon, looming so tired of that word, But a deadline for Hollywood actors and studios to get done looms over the entertainment world this week,
Sag after his contract with studios expires Friday. Over the weekend, the union told members that negotiations with studios had been extremely productive, the first positive note received in a while. Let's start with some of the other stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. As always, of course, we do lead local police and riverside say the driver of a pickup truck who killed two men and a dog who were out for a walk should not have been driving these seventeen years old these unlicensed as well has no idea, Riverside police
say. Riverside Police officer Ryan Railsback tells KTLA the team was on Van Buren Boulevard north of Magnolia late Sunday when he jumped the curb, hit the men, and slammed into a light poll Investigators say alcohol may have been a factor. The team was taken into custody and treated for minor injuries. Border Patrol in San Diego says May was a record breaking month for arrests and fentinel seizures.
Officials say of the one hundred fifty seven, four hundred thirty illegal immigrants detained by agents this fiscal year, thirty three thousand, seven hundred have been family units. This time last year, it was twenty nine, two hundred and seventy seven. Agents also encountered ninety nine two hundred and sixteen migrants from one hundred fifty different countries. That's up from fifty nine thousand, four hundred this time last year, and more than eleven hundred pounds of fenel have also
been seized at the California Mexico border in Monterey Park. Steve Gregory kfin news a law to prevent gasoling price gouging in California is now in effect. It was signed by Governor Newsom earlier this year. I signed a law to stop price gouging at the pump, stepping up our oversight and accountability on the oil and gas industry. He says. The law requires daily reports on the market and imports, requires refineries to report maintenance schedules in advance, and requires monthly
reports on refiner's profit margins. It also sets up a new independent watchdog to monitor the oil industry. Three million dollars in state funding will help build a wall to protect railroad tracks from landslides in San Clementing. This rail system is the second most utilized system in America. Most supervisor Katrina fully says the hillside stabilization project beneath the historic Cosa Romantica will take too long and millions of passengers
and billions in annual freight is at stake. That hillside collapsed. It's very sandy soil, there was a lot of saturation from water. The debris is falling into the railroad tracks and it's preventing passenger rail service while construction is expected to start Friday in Orange County. Corbin Carson k if I News a couple
of business headlines Real Quick for Wake Up Called. European Central Bank President Christine Laguard is basically the EU's version of our FED Chair j Powell and Laguard told the EU version of the Federal Reserve today that interest rates are going up and they're going to continue to go up for a while. And it's no different here in the US. Markets are heating similar warnings by the FED. This sticky inflation we have is global central bankers everywhere except maybe China are focusing on
controlling inflation rather than protecting against session. One example is for Wall Street is Morgan Stanley is pricing a twenty five basis point interest rate hike by the Fed in July. I anticipate another one coming before the end of this year.
Well, the first topic for today on wake Up Call is pretty much the top topic on all news networks, and that's the drama in Russia after a would be rebellion over the weekend was diverted away from Moscow, so ABC's in As Delicatea is on the line with us to help us get updated with that situation. Good morning, and As and thank you for joining us. Good morning, Thanks for having me. What is the most recent thing that you've
seen. I've seen that Putin gave some public announcements today. He says that somebody will be held accountable, but there are no charges pending. Can you help us make some sense of it? That's right. Yeah, So we did see Putin in prerecorded remark, so a video was released. This was the first time we've seen In since the rebellion, and he thanked Russians for
their endurance, their solidarity, and their patriotism. He said that the armed rebellion would have been pressed, so trying to project strength there and he's had the organizers of the rebellion had betrayed their country and their people. At the same time, though, he also said the majority of Wagner fighters are patriots, so kind of trying to habit both ways there on the one hand, blaming the organizers on the other hand, you know, calling them or calling
the men, these mercenary men patriots. He thanked them for not falling through with the rebellion and he's offering them the option of joining the Defense Ministry or other law enforcement agencies as well as he's also giving them the option of returning home if that's what they want. But like you say, they're dropping charges against these men to the FSB, dropping the criminal case investigating the rebellion.
They're saying the case was closed because it has been established the participants stopped their actions. Okay, So I guess there's two lenses to look at this, right, you can look externally into Russia and then look internally from Russia. So let's start externally. How is Ukraine reacting to this as it Unfaulds. Yeah, so Ukraine has said they've come out. I mean, they were pretty explicit about this. They fully said that the chaos in Russia is working
out to their advantage. The Wagner Group was instrumental in the war in Ukraine, specifically in the Battle for Bakhmute, and they have committed countless war crimes. They are not in Ukrain anymore. They're back on their field bases in Russia. And I think Ukraine, you know, it feels that this is going to work out to their advantage. In fact, in the last forty eight hours, there were reports that Ukraine is beginning to make advances on the
battlefield and puven. When he first addressed the nation on Saturday, when this rebellion was first announced, he talked about that. He said not only was Russia at risk of civil war, but that this would hurt Russia's chances on the battlefield. So, yeah, Ukraine watching all this playing out, and they're gonna they're gonna, you know, try to take advantage of the situation. Okay, Now, from another external view, how is the United States
responding to this? Is this an opportunity? Is this a foreign policy crack that they can be that can be exploited, or is it hurry up and wait? You know, it's going to be really interesting to see how this plays out internationally. I think there's a lot of confusion internationally, that there's a feeling that we just don't, you know, fully understand what is really going on. Has happened, The rebellion happened so quickly, The reversal happened
so quickly. This deal is bizarre. Progosia and putin our long time allies. Lucashchenko, the leader of Belarus, who is said to have negotiated. The deal between Progoshan and the Kremlin is also a big Putin. Ally, none of these men are are really trustworthy. So there's a real sense that there might be more that meets the eye here that we just don't know that the full terms of the deal, that Progosia may have gotten some more confessions
from Putin that we don't know about, or versa. Putin may have gotten something out of Progosian that he wanted. So there's a sense that we need to give this a little bit of time to see how it all points out. Certainly, the US has talked about that, So the Secretary of State uh Anti Lincoln has talked about how we hadn't yet seen the final chapter here, how it would be months before we, you know, fully understand the
impact of this, and we're hearing that from the EU as well. So the EU's foreign policy chiefs talking about how the situation in Russia remains complex and unpredictable. So, um, yeah, just overall, a sense of there's this feeling that Moore is bound to come out of Russia. So when Putin took power back in the day, it was an election, and then after that it was an air quote election, and then he changed the constitution. So it seems like iron fist ruling is deregur in Russia. Still, what's
your analysis of that. Does he have to show a strong hand here in order to keep other oligarchs or would be oligarchs in line. Yeah, he really does. I mean that's that's part of what's been so interesting here is that had never faced any kind of crisis like this, that he's left looking weak and potentially vulnerable. There's a feeling that this rebellion may have embolded and some of his opponents, the Wagner men who were marching on Moscow, We're
talking about twenty five thousand mercenary men. They marched unobstructed, not a single drop of blood was shed. They you know, there was nothing standing in their way. Um, And so there's a there's a sense that that just goes to show that that ordinary Russians were not, you know, prepared to take up arms and defend the Putin regime necessarily. So, um, yeah, there are questions as to whether this could be a crack in Putin's stronghold.
And I think that's why today you're seeing him, uh, you know, coming out releasing these videos showing strength. And there are questions as to whether you know this video that Proposition released and which in which Proposition insists that
he had no goal of overthrowing the government. Uh. There are questions as to whether that might have also been part of this deal struct between Proposition and the Kremlin, that that maybe the Kremlin asked Provosion to voice support for Putin um to kind of dispel this notion that Putin is weakend to hear so many moving parts and as thank you so much for joining us. I know you kind of went over your time allotment to help us out this morning. Very
much appreciated. Thanks having me. That was ab season is Dlaktara. Also this morning, Putin has said that any internal mutiny will be put down, whatever that means. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four news room. Some business owners in Larchmont Village say they want city officials to crack down on crime following several store burglaries. Owner of Boba the Great, James Kim, says he and other business owners in the
area have had their stores broken into more than once. On top of that, we have to worry about these crimes that are happening aren't being prosecuted, and it's just like a slap on the wrist. Kim says. A man burglarized his tea shop Sunday morning, taking two thousand dollars worth of electronics. The LAPD has surveillance video of the man, but says he has not been caught. Police have busted a drug lab in North Hollywood, where they say
goods were being covertly delivered in pizza boxes. The lab was used to make cannabis oil. This woman who works next door says the operation was hidden. Well, it just looked like big black you know, you can walk by it. It's just the big black gate. So that's all you see. You don't see people come under going. Police arrested two people at the lab last week. The LAPD says it suspects the lab was owned by a Russian
crime organization. The La County Board of Supervisors has approved a forty three point four billion dollars budget. The budget, effective Saturday, includes four billion dollars for the La County Sheriff's Department and a billion dollars for the Probation Department. More on that with Wayne Resnick during handle on the News. The Biden administration has no plans to get involved in internal Russian matters. That's what National Security
Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters today. Something heated this way comes triple digit heat this Fourth of July weekend. The National Weather Services temperatures for southern California will go up about five to ten degrees starting Thursday. By Friday, the Antelope Valley could reach a hundred, while the interior coastal valleys could be well into the nineties. This first heat wave of the year comes after a cooler than normal late spring and early summer, to say the least, I mean
June Gloom went last of the entire month at five thirty ish. Is their life on Mars? Not? Really? Will there be life on Mars? Probably? ABC's Jim Ryan is going to join Wake Up Call to talk about human habitation on Mars. Remember when billionaires used to build libraries and museums.
Okay, right now, let's welcome in doctor PAULI Schnur. She's executive director of the National Center for PTSD and as preface and estimated six out of every one hundred people will have post traumatic stress disorder at some point in their lives. Welcome in, doctor snore, Thank you for having me. Oh absolutely. Why don't we start with a working definition of PTSD and then we'll get
into the follow ups. Okay. PTSD, or post traumatic stress disorder, is a mental health problem that can develop after a person's then exposed to a traumatic event, such as physical or sexual assaults, combat and actual disaster, or a serious accident. The symptoms of PTSD include distressing, upsetting memories of the event, avoiding any reminders of the event, changes in thoughts and feelings such as feeling guilty or angry or nun and feeling constantly keyed up. We
call that hyper arousal. Most people will have these symptoms after they've experienced a traumatic event. That's normal, But the symptoms tend to go away in the days and the weeks that follow, so we only diagnose PTSD if the symptoms are severe and they last at least a month. I see, okay, so a month. You mentioned ignoring reminders of the event. That typical denial or is it something beyond that? It? Avoiding reminders of the event is
typical, and it can have very pervasive effects. On a person's life. For example, just feeling unsafe and large spaces can make it hard to do thing we need to do, such as go to the supermarket, go out to dinner, go to a daughter's soccer game. So the avoidance of reminders can have pervasive and very negative impacts on a person's functioning. At the very top I mentioned sticks out of every one hundred people will have PTSD at some
point in their lives. Now, I'm not going to argue with the number, of course, it just seemed to me a little bit lower than I anticipated. Unfortunately, Why don't we walk through the process as you would describe it and start with a PTSD self test? Can can we self test for
this? Yes we can, and that's why we're promoting testing today. So if a person's experience a traumatic event and they've had symptoms for a month or more, it's a good time to seek help and a self test a self screen is a good first step to learn if the symptoms can be PTSD and get on the road to recovery. So the test that is available is can be downloaded at PTSD dot VA dot gov slash screen. The test has six
yes or no questions about traumatic exposure and the symptoms. It takes about a minute to complete, and so we're encouraging anyone who's had a traumatic experience and maybe having some symptoms to take the test. It's also common for people who've had a past trial essay in childhood or many years ago to have symptoms but not connect their current symptoms to the past events. So that's another good reason to do the self screening. Sounds like a really high return on investment when
it comes to spending sixty seconds to self test online. We're going to come back to that URL in just a second. I'm going to ask you about effective PTSD treatments that are available. Let's say we do self test and we decide to pursue treatment. What are the options. So the good news is that there are a number of effective treatments for PTSD and that PTSD is a treatable condition. So the treatments that are most effective are called trauma focused psychotherapy.
There are also medications in trauma focused psychotherapy. All that means is that the treatment focuses on the memory of the trauma, and it's meaning to decrease the distress that a person has related to the memory and the effects that it's
having on a person's life. There are three types of trauma focused psychotherapy that have the best evidence in that are the most effective, and they're called cognitive processing therapy Prolonged exposure and eye movement to sensitization and reprocessing EMDR is how that's typically referred to. For medications, because some people might prefer medication to a talk therapy. The medications that are most effective are those that are also used
for depression. I see, okay, I'm glad you mentioned the medication. I was going to circle back on that. So a medication and talk therapy together are probably pretty effective, but there are some other options as well. You listed a lot of resources there. Let's push people online to find out
where they can go for more information. Where can they go? So we if people chain positive for PTSD or they just want to learn more about PTSD, if you're a family member with someone to someone who you think has PTSD, we encourage learning more and so it's helpful to go to the National Center for PTSD website, which is PTSD dot VA dot com. There's fact sheets and videos. There's also apps that are downloadable for free that can help people
manage PTSD and related conditions. Thank you so much for your time this morning. Important information. Glad we could get some out there, and you can search for us as well at KFI AM six forty dot com. We should have some links up there later today. Doctor Snore, thank you for your time this morning. Thank you. We've been speaking with doctor Paulishnore. She's executive director at the National Center for PTSD. Let's get some more news out
of the KFI twenty four hour news room. Police in Redondo Beach have asked the public for help in finding the killer of a woman whose body was found more than twenty years ago at a construction site. Police Chief Joe Hoffman says Catherine Parker Johnson was recently identified as the person found on Walacott Street. The crime occurred so long ago, in the condition that the partial skeleton was found and the residents had turned over, there's very limited information about the actual direct
connection to that location. Hoffman says. The woman was identified through DNA testing. Her identity was confirmed using samples from her daughter and sister. Hoffman says investigators still have a lot more to uncover. Clean Up is underway near Billings, Montana, where a bridge collapsed, sending railcars with hazardous material into the Yellowstone River. Montana Rail Link president Joe Rasco says contractors and a large crane
are on site to stabilize and remove cars from the river. Now brought in a specialized dive team. They're going to help us not only assess what's in the river, but also help us secure the car. He says. Some of the cars carried molten sulfur, but initial water testing did not show any impacts through the water quality or any threats to drinking water. They are still
investigating the cause of the collapse. At A guitar signed by Taylor Swift has sold for one hundred and twenty thousand dollars at an auction benefiting kids with cancer. The Toby Keith Foundation announced the top earning items from its twenty twenty three ok Kids Choral auction yesterday, which also included memorabilia from Joe Burrow, Steph Curry, and Tiger Woods. The foundation raises funds and provides housing for kids

A new court filing yesterday says the boys prosecutors are pushing for the ultimate penalty against Brian Coburger. And then at five fifty, we're gonna have some business and tech headlines. We're gonna take a look at the markets real quick. And I'm also going to do this week in Elon Musk.
It's been a week for him right now. On Wake Up Call ABC's Jim Ryan, today's topic is astronomical, as in, Mars needs humans apparently. Good morning, Jim, welcome back. That's pretty good. Mars needs human needs men and women, and so men and women have now gone into a simulator, the Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog SHAPIA is the thing that NASA
is running at the Johnson Space Centered down in Houston, Jason. So these four specialists, they are for science minded folks with master's degrees in various stem
areas a physician, an engineer, a military person. So they've all gone off into this simulator and they're going to spend the next year in there pretending essentially that they are on Mars. So they've skipped the long flight to Mars, they've skipped the rocket ship ride and the simulation, and here is that they're working and living on Mars and trying to solve problems there and make it
work. So that's the goal of NASA here is to see how these people interact, how they solve problems, and what NASA can do better when it's the real thing at about fifteen years or so. Oh fifteen years Okay, that was okay, that's a nugget. Well, I'm going to circle back on real quick. But when they're in this this controlled atmosphere, I think we've all seen the movies around this, right, So how do they choose these Marster knots or would be Marster knots. Well, they NASA put out
a call for people. If you're under fifty five, you're in reasonably good health, you don't smoke, you have your master's degree in some science related field, go ahead and apply. And so of four thousand people who put on their applications, four people were chosen or research scientist Kelly Hasten, structural engineer Ross Brockwell, that sounds like a sci fi movie guy, Ross Brockwell's brock structural engineer, an emergency medicine physician and Jones, and a Navy micro
biologist an sas Selaru who was actually from Romania originally. So those four were picked from this field of four thousand, seventeen hundred square feet. Though does not sound very big for its many people, it's not. And it also includes kind of this outdoor sandbox Martian surface simulation. So seventeen hundred feet includes the livings quarters which look like little tiny apartments, little dormooms, essentially,
that workspace, and then this outdoor sandbox habitat. Okay, well, all right, that's barely enough space to make the potatoes that we all saw in that movie with Matt Damon. So what are next steps after a year of this? What is NASA hoping to learn? Are they going to do it again and in a couple of years probably, and they've tried to do in the past. There have been you know, you would think that, okay, well, we take the data from this next year and we apply it
to our next session of testing. They tried it a couple of years ago. One of the crew members got an electrical shock, touched something and got a shock had to come out that NASA said forget it. Let's let's pull these people outside them home and pick a new field and fix the problems that we have with it. So, yeah, that's the next step. This is a it's a learning process. So there are rockets being designed and constructed elsewhere, there are plans being made for the actual flight. This is part
of the planning that goes into actually living and working on Mars. Okay, so we talked about next steps, We talked about the size of we talked about who's going to be up there. Okay, it seems like when can we get to scale on this, do you think, I mean, what is NASA shooting for. You mentioned fifteen years a little bit ago. Yes, well that's the goal, you know, by twenty fifty. You know, the next step obviously is to get to the Moon. The Moon is
sort of the jumping off points. So you can get to the Moon, take a bunch of equipment there, establish a base on the Moon, and then after that used the Moon as the jumping off point to get to Mars. So in practical terms, this kind of takes things two steps ahead. Yeah, there are there are moon simulations going on I assume somewhere this is kind of the latest and the greatest dealing with Mars. But yeah, our next step is to return to the Moon and then from there make that jump
to Mars. So this is NASA based. This is my last question, Jim. I know you have to go, but this is a this is NASA based. Any any cooperation with the public and private sector going on, well not really in this case. I'm sure that there were there are some some private sector, you know, components that went into this. There always have been, really back in to the nineteen sixties, there were private contractors
building parts of the NASA program. And that's undoubtedly the case. But again, only one of these people who got locked up in this habitat yesterday has has government experience. That's somebody who's in the military. Now I see, Okay, well this is fascinating stuff, Jim. Obviously it's science fiction stuff, but it's real world. Tell us again one more time, where this is going to be the seventeen hundred square foot stimulator. It's it's up and
running now. It's down at Johnson Space Center in Houston. So those folks are living in that habitat now feeling looking acting like they are on Mars when actually they could step outside the door and they're still in Houston, but they wouldn't step out because Houston summers. I don't think so I'm staying inside. It's one hundred and ten in Houston today, it's going to be and on Mars the afternoon, Hi, I will be about seventy. Oh okay,
nice climate control. Indeed, ABC's Jim Ryan, always a pleasure, Thank you so much. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroo. And the reason I asked about the private thing before we do that is because it just seems like back in the day, billionaires like Carneggie and shoot right here in La I mean, look at the Getty Center. I mean people were building the road downtown. People were
building things like that. Instead of trying to escape Earth, they were trying to do something for Earth. I guess that's a bit of a soap box. But still, I've been covering Silicon Valley long enough to be cynical. A new light rail is coming to the San Fernando Valley. The Metro project will create eleven new stations connecting Van Nuys to Pacoima officials say construction starts later this year. They predict their rail will open between twenty twenty eight and twenty
thirty. A medical examiner in San Antonio, Texas has ruled the death of an airport employee as a suicide. ABC's Jim Ryan, who we just heard, says a flight arrived from La Friday night and was taxing to the gate when a groundworker was sucked into one of the jets two engines. The medical examiner says the man died instantly. The EMMY also has determined that the death was not an accident. The worker was employed through Unify. The company says
it's deeply saddened by the loss. As promised, if you can't find a pickleball court to play on, peruse the pool people. Swimpley, the website which rents backyard pools by the hour, is expanding to include pickleball and tennis courts. Pickleball has been around since the nineteen sixties, but its recent explosion and popularity has made it hard to get your pickle on with wait lists at
many courts. Swimpley says over a million people in one hundred and twenty five cities have used its services, with hosts making two to three thousand dollars a month renting out their backyard. Tennis and pickleball courts start at around twenty dollars an hour, with many people offering add ons from their backyard, like a cold lunge or a sauna for a fee, of course. Michael Crozier KFI News New York has been approved to charge big tolls to drive into the most
visited parts of Manhattan. Officials say it's part of an effort to reduce traffic, improve air quality, and raise money for public transit. The program could start as soon as next spring. Under the planned drivers could be charged as much as twenty three dollars a day to enter Manhattan south of sixtieth Street. And also, I saw today that in San Francisco they're looking at upping the bridge tolls by a dollar and fifty cents to also augment money for public transit
there. Holy Moley, a tedious ten year study of hairy moles at you see Irvine may have found a molecular cure for baldness. We think of it as nature's own experiment, and nature is not leaving notes. You see Irvine Professor Maximplikas says, the question is why do moles growth the care even on people who have gone bald. There are cells in the hair that talk to other cells in the hair make them divide, and that's how hair growth happens.
So you can imitate them or replicate them. They will be very potent stimulants of hair growth. Future treatments may only mean two doses per year. Next step is human Trials in Orange County. Corbin Carson k i I News Princess Diana's black sheep sweater has been put up for auction and is expected to sell for up to eighty thousand dollars. The red sweater from her knitwear line
Warm and Wonderful has white sheep all over it and one black sheep. She first wore it in nineteen eighty one at one of them Prince Charles's polo matches, and it quickly became one of her most recognizable pieces of clothing. Online bidding begins August thirty. First a little bit ago I mentioned China and the EU, and speaking of China, the Chinese economy is already tipping into its
version of a recession. Growth is slowing to a crawl. So today, China's Prime Minister told the World Economic Forum that if Europe and the US continue to de risk their economic ties with China, global GDP could fall. This is a direct ripple, by the way, from China's support of Russia in its Ukraine War. The EU and the US have been risk off when it comes to dealing with China and Chinese manufacturing. There's a new budget deal in
California. Governor Newsom reached an agreement with lawmakers last night on a three hundred billion dollars spending plan, just hours before today's deadline. It had been stalled over his efforts to fast track infrastructure and energy products projects. Also, the Supreme Court in about an hour and ten minutes is expected to hand down some key decisions that could address student debt, relief, affirmative action, federal election
laws. The Court is entering its last week of the summer session until it goes on break. There are ten cases pending. They include a case over the First Amendment rights and LGBTQ rights out of Colorado. So we're gonna have more on that during Handle on the News with Wayne Resnick and California's first State of Pride report shows a rise in LGBTQ plus hate crimes. Attorney General Rob Banta says the stakes are high, the attacks are discussing, the targeting is
strong, and now more than ever, we need each other. He hosted a forum yesterday to detail the report. I want to do a quick whipsaw on some headlines this morning out of the business, and some of them we're going to tip into politics as well, because we start with Florida Governor Ron De Santis. He's seeking to dismiss Disney's lawsuit alleging targeted retaliation against the entertainment giant, arguing that he has quote legislative immunity and quote and the company lacks
standing to sue him. The suit accuses the Santis of launching a political effort against the company, which included a crackdown on its special taxing district in response to Disney's stance surrounding the states. So called don't say gay law may not matter to the business, though. There's an analyst that I watch who believes that the woke and other political narratives are overhyped, saying it is reasonable to expect that any negative impact they may have we temporary. That's an analysis shared
with investors, and it's Joe Biden's economy. Now, that's exactly how the White House wants it. We spoke yesterday about some infrastructure, meaning WiFi, and the administration has kicked off a three week road show to showcase how policies addressing everything from broadband infrastructure to insulin prices have started to yield economic benefits to working class Americans. White House officials are pitching Congressional Democrats on incorporating the themes
of investing in America. That's what they're calling this tour. At least the White House is which is ushered the portmanteau biden Omics to the discourse. We love portmanteaus into their messaging. As the twenty twenty four campaign begins, we'll see if that sticks. On my weekend show, it's called Macro by the way, Sunday afternoons on KFI anytime on the iHeartRadio app and as shameless plug,
and a recurring feature is called this Week at Elon Musk. I started at about eight years ago when I was on the air in Silicon Valley, back when Tesla and the boring Company were Elon's main jams, not necessarily anti free speech stuff that you see on his Twitter diaspora these days. So real quick for your Tuesday morning, it's this week in Elon Musk. Last week, Elon Musk challenged Meta CEO Mark Zuckerk to a cage match, like a
physical meet up in a cage. Zuckerberg replied with tell me where and when, and then things escalated a little bit, possibly tongue in cheek, maybe not. Musk says he has a wrestling move called the walrus where he just lays across an opponent until they tap out. Then Musk offered a venue, the Vegas Octagon. Now things are kicking up. A couple of takeaways here, though. If Twitter live streams that cage match, will anyone really know
what happened? Zuckerberg says he's down. Okay, well let's see it. Musk's mom is weighing in this morning as well, offering some alternatives. Doesn't want to see the boys fight.

Okay, so tech bros and MMA matches.
Jack Dorsey is a slight favorite over Elon Musk. Of course, Jack Dorsey started Twitter now he's helping to run Blue Sky and some other stuff too. I think Square is one of them. I'm kidding, of course, it's Square, Sundar Pichai, Google's CEO, and Sati Endadella at Microsoft. Those are even money. That's an even money matchup, So let's a pick them. Evan Spiegel of Snap down here in LA and Silicon Beach versus Zuckerberg zucked by a lot on that one. Unfortunately one hundred bucks. We'll get
you one hundred and fifty five if Musk wins. And finally, the one that nobody ever wanted to see, Mark Bennioff versus Tim Cook. Cook is a flight underdog in this one, but I'd take the under because Tim looks like yeah, is Cardio is working out pretty well. Musk also has thoughts on President Biden's remark that they're rich should pay their fair share when it comes to taxes. Musk tweeted that such a fair minded approach would upset a lot
of donors. We'll have a link up at KFI am sixty dot com slash macro. Now, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom this morning.

Owner of Boba the Great, James Kim, says two different businesses of his have
been burglarized and each time it's cost him thousands of dollars. Thought to mention, we employ a lot of people and it affects them as well as well as their families.

First of all, thank you Michael for leaving it behind. It was about pickleball. Now. Pickleball is the fastest rug sport in the US and could also be responsible though for a multimillion dollar rise in healthcare spending
this year. This is according to analysis from UBS a UBS Group. Note that it sends to clients that came out yesterday, and it says a rise in spending on surgeries such as joint replacements in the US may link back to the pickleball court. The analysts estimated then in twenty twenty three, anywhere from two hundred and fifty million dollars to five hundred billion dollars in medical spending could be due to pickleball injuries. Here's the number of the day, twenty two
point three million. I'm just barely smiling because I haven't started pickleball yet. This won't be so funny if I do twenty two point three million. UBS's projection for the number of pickleball players in the US in twenty twenty three. That's a one hundred and fifty percent increase just from last year.
