Second Inauguration of Donald J. Trump

You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

KFI had KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County, and.

It's time for your morning wake up call.

Here's Amy King.

Good Monday morning.

This is your wake up call for January twentieth. It's five o'clock. I'm Amy King. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Hope you had a great weekend. I got to have a little R and R. I did a little R and R yesterday and then here I finally took down Christmas yesterday, January nineteen.

That might be a new record.

I got the tree out when it turned into a Christmas stick a few weeks ago, but it didn't get all the actual Christmas stuff put away until yesterday.

And isn't it cool?

Like I love all the decorations that you put up, but it feels like the house is much cleaner once everything gets put away, not as much clutter. So nothing big going on today, nothing at all. Okay, I'm lying a little bit. So I was talking to our temporary boss, Chris Berry on yesterday, or we were texting back and forth. So inauguration day. We've got another round of Santa Ana winds, very bad ones. They were issuing another one of those

She's also in DC ahead of the inauguration.

Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Extreme wind is expected to return to southern California. ABC's Alex Stone says the region is under yet another PDS red flag fire warning because of it.

This wind event is beginning to look more and more severe, with peak wins hitting tonight into Tuesday and possibly close to the one hundred mile per hour incredible winds we dealt with close to two weeks ago that made the Palisades and Eaten fires explode.

Southern California Edison has notified some customers that their power could be shut off again today to prevent fires. The particularly Dangerous Situation red flag warning is in effect for tomorrow morning in areas as I mentioned, including the San Gabriel, Santa Clarida, and San Fernando Valleys in Malibu Coast. News brought to you by Semper Solaris firefighter has been working to surround more of the fires in La County as

If they were advertising a rent before this tragedy, they cannot charge these absorbent and prices. They cannot.

Newsom said it's illegal and anyone trying to take advantage of people who've lost their homes by bumping up remps rents will be held accountable. President elect Trump's as he plans to visit southern California this week who to see the damage caused by the wildfire.

He shared the news Sunday during his rally at the Capitol One Arena in downtown Washington, DC ahead of today's in ong. The trip will likely be his first after returning to the White House for his second term.

I also want to send our love to everyone affected by the terrible wildfires raging in California.

We're praying for you all.

We love you all.

We're going to be there very soon.

I'm going to go out there on Friday to see it.

He also stated, we're bringing in some of the best builders in the world to assist and we'll get things moving back. Brigita Degasino, KAFI News.

Let's say good morning now to ABC's Karen Travers.

Karen.

President elect Trump says there are three themes for his inauguration.

What are they?

He says there, unity, strength, and fairness, and we're told that the overarching theme will be restoring confidence. He's expected today to call for a revolution of common sense, and according to excerps that senior advisors provided, he's going to say that he'll return to the presidency confident and optimistic, that we're at the start of a thrilling new era of national success, and he'll say a tide of change is sweeping the country. We expect that the President is

And you mentioned executive orders.

What are some of the what are some of the ones that we're expecting to come out right out of the gate.

He's told ABC that immigration would be a big focus, and his senior advisor, Stephen Miller, who had briefed a small group of Republican lawmakers over the weekend, said look for things like declaring a national emergency around the US Mexico border, designating Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

Okay, And so as the day goes, he's got his schedule. I mean, I was looking at the schedule and it's like in some cases minute by minute.

So once he takes the oath of office.

Then he'll deliver his inaugural address, right, okay, and then it's off to the White House to start getting work done.

No, he goes inside the Capitol for a bit and there's a luncheon that is held up there that's tradition every four years, and then he's going to head down to Capitol one Arena downtown where like I said, they moved the parade from outside to inside. It's still not clear exactly what that's going to look like but marching bands, all the things that would have been marching down Pennsylvania Avenue and performing for the President and First Lady would

Okay, and I know we've got you for about thirty more seconds, TikTok. He's signaling that he wants to push back the law that bans TikTok.

So TikTok's back up and running.

Now, yes, you know they started it back up again last night. I mean, but here's the thing, Like, it wasn't necessarily like something he could do through executive action today because it was a law that was passed by Congress and signed into law by the presidents. You can't just undo that with executive action. TikTok didn't necessarily have to shut down the way they did and then go back up and running the way they did. But that's how it played out.

Over the weekend, and we'll see.

I mean, is there going to be pushback because he, like you said, he legally can't do what he's trying to do.

Right now, the law is in effect, and now it's a matter of whether the Trump administration enforces it, and that's what the big decision would.

Have to be.

All Right, ABC's Karen Travers have a wonderful inauguration day.

Thanks, have a great day.

Okay, Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Some people in California say they're worried about being deported with President Trump in office. California Attorney General Rob Bonta says he stands by immigrants.

You can be sure that US California's attorney general.

If Trump attacks the rights of our immigrants, I will be there. If Trump breaks the law, we will see him in court.

The Wall Street Journal reports the incoming administration intends to kick off a large scale immigration raid tomorrow. It's expected to start in Chicago and then head to other big cities. A man's been arrested for allegedly raping a woman in Long Beach, and police say he may have attacked other women. Police say a woman was walking near an alley near Tenth Street and Pacific Avenue last Wednesday around one am when a man approached and attacked her and then took off.

Official stress that the virus has not made it into the food supply chain, but there are still urgent concerns for Georgia. This is the first confirmed bird flucase in a commercial operation.

Officials a chicken will still be sold in stores in Georgia during the suspension of wholesale poultry sales. As we mentioned a little bit ago, Governor Newsom held a town hall. You may have heard it yesterday morning on CAFI. It was broadcast on almost sixty iHeart stations around California and I listened to it, and my takeaway from it was that I think he did a really good job, I think, which I'm not anxious to say, because I don't think overall this has all been handled great.

But I think he gave.

Some good answers, he made some promises, and I think it'll be really interesting to see if he keeps those promises, because you've got a lot of people who've lost everything, and a lot of people who are worried about what their near future and their more distant future looks like. As they were cover from the fires, and so they set it up so that he had questions presented to him and had conversations with people affected by the fires. Some of them had lost everything and they had some

I mean, we're moving, heaving and earth to get the damage assessment work done in the Palisades and then get the hazardous material material, which is phase one of the debris removal done within the next sixty days.

He says, they're also putting up a lot of money to get things going.

We are doing a two and a half billion dollar state supplemental to provide relief and flexibility to fill in the gap.

And that's that's two and a half billion dollars. That's from the state.

But overall, I think some of the estimates now are coming in at about two hundred and fifty billion dollars when all this said had none. One of the fire victims is she's been asked to take paid time off while her employer is closed because of the fires. Newsom says that doesn't sound right and says they're working to get money to the workers who are displaced.

We've expanded paid support, and we actually just expanded in January, and this is important higher reimbursement for lower wage workers. That was a law that just went in effect in January. But that's something we're going to have to monitor. And I appreciate you bringing that up specifically as an example of how some businesses may not necessarily be protecting their employees as they should.

So, yeah, the woman had said that she was getting unemployment now and that's three or four hundred dollars a week. I don't remember what the exact number was, but normally she makes about twelve hundred a week, so that is obviously a pretty large gap.

Governor says they're working on that.

Also, Newsom talked to a high school student who said how tough it was that he hasn't been class and they said that they're allowing students to transfer to other schools if they're affected by fires.

Allowing flexibility so you can transfer to another district nearby district. And there were issues around class sizes and other technical state issues that we were able to wave through, and.

All of La County gets a reprieve in filing their taxes. That April fifteenth deadline's been pushed back.

Have pushed back all state taxes till October fifteenth.

And also property taxes if you've been affected by the fires.

We pushed back property taxes till April twenty twenty six, and people can apply for a four year deferral on interest and penalties related to property taxes.

And one of the really interesting things that I believe he talked about was one of the people who lost their home in Altadena said, you know what, Altadena has this very cool vibe to it, you know, I mean, it's a lot of older, older homes, and it has this great fear to it, and they're really worried that as they rebuild, they're going to lose all of that, and that like green spaces are going to be taken away, and they're going to put like high density housing.

In that area.

And he says he's going to the people of Altadena are going to decide how they want to rebuild, and he's going to make sure that it's done how people want it, not necessarily how the state wants it. So it's going to be really interesting to watch as all

App the first time.

Hostages released by Hamas are being treated at a hospital in Tel Aviv. IDF officials say the three Israeli women appeared to be in good health. In fact, let's check in right now with ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem.

Giordana, it's a big day in Israel. It is a big day.

It is a happy day, a joyous day, a moment that everyone's holding on to because, as you know, it's been an incredibly difficult fifteen months. Much of the country is still traumatized by what happened on October seventh. But here three young women released by Hamas in a rather

Okay, I wanted to ask you about the aid, which is great news that that's finally getting in, because as we've talked over the last months, you know, there was you were telling us that maybe like one hundred would get in a day, which is not anywhere near what they needed. So do you hear six hundred in a day is good. But do they have trucks just like lined up at the borders waiting to go in or how how is that all going to play out?

There are trucks lined up at the border, the Israelis are checking the trucks and then they're being waved in. The difference is now there's not active combat, you know, in parts of the Gaza strips, so they're able to the trucks are able to move without getting stopped. And the UN groups and Angios are there. They have a stronger presence on the streets again because there's not combat,

That is key, all right, and.

We'll be talking about that as we move along. But for right now, we have a ceasefire, we have the first hostages released in eight is getting in.

So that's all good news. Jordana Miller, thank you so.

Much, great news.

All right, thank you.

Tucson talkson President elect Trump is about to be sworn into his second term in office. He told supporters at a rally in Washington last night that he was getting ready to take more than two hundred executive actions on his first days back.

I will act with historic speed and strength and fix every single crisis facing our country.

We have to do it.

Trump says immigration is first on his list. He's expected to declare a national emergency on the US Mexico border, order troops to build more infrastructure along the border, and relaunch his Remain in Mexico policy for people trying to enter the US. Cal State Domingius Hill's political science professor Chris hollinbrook tells KFI, while Sacramento has been combative toward Trump, there is a chance relationship could be more cordial this time around, a.

Little more accepting of Okay, he's the president for the next four years and this is just how it's going to be. So things might be a little more mellow between the state and DC this time now.

Alan Brooks says while Trump's style probably won't be much different, his substance might be. A forty year tradition in La has been postponed.

The Kingdom Day Parade, which was scheduled for today, is a celebration of the dream and legacy of doctor Martin Luther King Junior. However, the event got pushed back about a month because of the wildfires in the La County area. Rescheduling for the event is set for February seventeenth, which is also President's Day and right in the middle of Black History Month. The parade will march down on MLK and Crenshaw Boulevards and be broadcast on live television. The

This is the forty seventh time the US has sworn in a president. Happening in four hours, four and a half hours from now. We're going to take a look back at some of the other inaugurations and there's some I'll call them fun facts.

And was like, fun facts? Is it fun?

And I said, yeah, inaugurations are fun, okay. La Ventura, Orange Riverside counties all under red flag warnings from this morning through tomorrow. Forecasters have warned of particularly dangerous situation wins, especially in the mountains and valleys. Officials are urging residents to review evacuation plans and make sure emergency kits are stocked with needed items should they have to evacuate.

I just put my go bag away.

I guess I'm going to get it out again because they are saying that these winds are going to be really really bad. Two more people have been arrested for allegedly impersonating firefighters in the Palisades Fire Zone. Laped officers patrolling the area say they saw a truck that did not appear to be legitimate. A man and woman in the truck were wearing cal fire gear and claimed to be from the Roaring River Fire Department in Oregon. I'm from Oregon. There is no Roaring River Fire Department.

I saw the story.

They actually bought an entire fire truck. Yeah, they got it at an auction or something. Yeah.

The Rams have been eliminated from the NFL playoffs after losing to the Philadelphia Eagles twenty eight to twenty two yesterday. Philly will host the NFC East rival Commanders in the Conference Championship Game next Sunday for a spot in Super Bowl fifty nine. At six poh five, it's handle on the news.

Pardon me.

President Biden's parting shot before Trump takes office. Later today, if I point fifty, We're going to check in with kfi's White House correspondent John Decker. He's in DC to get a little inauguration preview. The festivities have already begun. Actually, Trump's about to leave the Blairhouse to head to a church service. So taking a look back at inaugurations, because this is the only forty seventh time in our country's history that we've done it. Here's the here's the oath.

That's it. That's the Oah. It's like twenty four words.

Okay, so we know that they moved stuff inside because it's so freaking cold. I think it was like a forecast time of about twenty degrees and then you add in windchill and well downright frigid. So they're going to be in the capital rotunda today. So we took a look back at weather and Ronald Reagan's inaugurations hold the record for both the hottest and the coldest inaugurations. So the first time he was inaugurated on January twentieth, nineteen

It was seven degrees and he went indoors right, and he went indoors right.

So this inauguration is the first time in like forty years that they've gone indoors. Well, seven degrees. I understand it's going to be twenty They could have been outside. It'll be interesting to see how many people actually turn out for in the rotunda. And as I mentioned, when I started reading the oath, they either say I do

Okay.

Most of the presidents are sworn in by the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Supreme Court, which is going to happen today. Roberts is going to be swearing him in and who's jd Vance is being sworn in by Kavanaugh, I believe.

Okay, So.

Most of the time it's by the Chief Justice, but there are a couple of exceptions. When Warren Harding died in office, Calvin Coolidge was at his family's home in Vermont, and they didn't have any electricity, they didn't have a phone, so he got word of Harding's death by a courier, and in the early morning hours of August third, nineteen twenty three, Coolidge was sworn in by his father, who was a notary public. The ceremony conducted by Kerosene Lamp.

And then the first woman.

To sign to swear in a president happened after the assassination of President Kennedy.

Lyndon B.

Johnson took the oath of office on board Air Force one on November twenty second, nineteen sixty three. Sarah Hughes administered the oh She became the first woman to inaugurate a president. And did you know that presidents used to wear top hats, and that wasn't only in the eighteen hundreds, but they stopped that because let's say John F. Kennedy was the last president to wear a top hat during

Okay, just a couple more.

Andrew Johnson was inaugurated as a vice president in eighteen sixty five, and he was totally drunk. He'd had typhoid fever and apparently drank whiskey to try to try to numb the pain.

Except he drank a little too much and he ended up slurring through his oath. It's too bad. Those aren't good old days. But it's too bad we don't have a video of that. Right.

On March fourth, eighteen seventy three, Ulysses S. Grant's second inauguration was so cold the food and the champagne froze, and so did hundreds of caged canaries that.

Were brought in for the reception. Wow, lots of dead birds. Okay.

John Quincy Adams didn't take his oath on a bible. He used a law book instead that had the Constitution in it. That's your option. And here's one more fun one. Jelly bellies. So remember when Ronald Reagan was the governor. He when he was governor of California, he got into jelly bellies and it was to help him because he's

You're just some fun thing.

Yeah, okay, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news and newsroom. President Biden has issued some last minute pardons. They include doctor Anthony Fauci, retired General Mark Milly, and members of Congress's January sixth Committee. The pardons are meant to guard

Unemployment is only paying me two hundred dollars a week, whereas at the restaurant I worked, I made twelve hundred.

Dollars a week.

Newsom says it's going to take some time to get things going again. A footwear company that has made shoes for every US president since eighteen fifty is displaying some of its fancy footwork in downtown d C. The Johnston and Murphy Presidential Footwear Exhibit features fifteen pairs of shoes made for presidents like Abraham Link, Theodore Roosevelt, and John F.

Kennedy.

Shoes created for Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden are also part of the exhibit, which is open daily at the Mayflower Hotel until January twenty ninth. Red flag parking restrictions will go into effect in the cities of La and Pasadena to make sure narrow or winding roads are clear in case firefighters need to access the area. Red flag warnings are in effect for much of La and Ventura Counties and the inland Empire starting later this

That's right, and indoors this year because of the bitterly cold temperatures here in the nation's capital. So the swearing in President Trump's inaugural address all taking place inside the Capital Rotunda as opposed to being outside. And I'm thankful of that because it feels like it's in the single digits here today in Washington.

Okay, So tell us, aside from the super cold, tell us what it's like in DC. Are there's still people out like lining up outside or you know, gathering outside the rotunda and are there big screens or how are they going to handle that?

So there's just nobody.

There, no you know, I think that all of those individuals who travel to Washington, DC hoping to watch the swearing in in person or having to make alternative arrangements, there will be an opportunity for about twenty thousand of Donald Trump supporters to watch the swearing in from the Capital one arena. They'll do a live view in terms

Okay, so even if they wanted to go and just gather are outside, they can't.

No, that's right. The security as such that they can't get pretty much anywhere near the Capitol. I'm directly across the street from the Capitol. I'm in the ray Burn House office building, which has a direct view of the Capitol. But just to even get to where I am, you need a special type of credential, and that is unfortunate again for those people who are really looking forward to

Okay, so the kind of walk us through it, because we know that.

Infact, I'm looking at pictures of Washington, DC, and it's absolutely stunningly beautiful there today. So just cold, but otherwise the sun is out and it's just frigid.

So what is he up to? He's running around town.

He's about to go over to the White House to have tea with the president or something.

Yeah, yeah, that's right. So this morning was a church service that Donald Trump and the future First Lady Malania Trump attended right across the street from the White House, Saint John's Church. Then there will be a tea at the White House that will be attended by Donald Trump and Joe Biden and also the First Lady. I'm sorry, well, the First Lady will be there as well as will

Okay, he do we have any idea how long he's going to talk, because we know how he likes to talk.

Yeah, that's right, you know, it might be a forty five minutes in terms of a prepared text, but as you know, he does like to go off the teleprompter, so it could be a little bit longer. And of course he doesn't have to worry about the cold temperature, so he can go on as long as he wants. On hand for the president's inaugural address will be every former living president from Bill Clinton all the way up

Pretty monumental day when you think about it.

I mean, like this whole peaceful transfer of power and how it dates back to when we became a country, and it's a pretty amazing tradition that we do.

It is you know, I look forward to it every four years, you know, especially when it's a new administration because of all the newness associated with it. This is my eighth presidential inauguration. It never gets sold. I'm disappointed, you know that the weather didn't cooperate today. The last time that we've had an indoor inauguration was forty years ago, nineteen eighty five, for Ronald Reagan's second inauguration.

John Decker in DC kfi's white House correspondent, buckle up. I think it's going to be a wild ride, and we'll be talking to you a lot in the coming days, weeks, in next few years.

Thanks so much, Amy, really appreciate it.

Take care.

That's right.

Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. More phony firefighters have been busted in LA. They were in an old fire truck Saturday in the Palisades fire Area.

Thirty one year old Dustin Neil and forty four year old Jennifer Neil claimed to be from the Roaring River Fire Department and Oregon. Some research showed that fire department does not exist and that the fire truck was bought at auction.

ABC's Alex Stone says the pair was wearing CalFire shirts. They also helmets and radios. They were arrested for impersonating firefighters. Officials say the man has a criminal history in Oregon.
