Here's Amy King. It's five o'clock. Stir right up. This is your wake up call for Thursday, March fourteenth. I'm Amy King. Let me be the first to say to you, Happy Pie Day. Yes, it's three fourteen, and so we celebrate all things pie. We actually have some very cool little specials that

a lot of restaurants are offering on this Pie Day. And we're going to be telling you about a local business because we do love to promote the local businesses. Lourie's Pie Bar in Long Beach. She dropped off a bunch of pie stuff. And if you are looking for pies, I've had their pies before. They're fabulous. So it is Pie Day, so if you think about it, and not only pies like you know the round kind of like apple pies and lemonon merangue pies, but pizza pies. They've got some specials

going on Pie Day for pizza restaurants as well. But here's what's ahead on wake up call. This morning, an American Airlines flight made and emergency landing at LAX. The Boeing Triple seven, which took off from Dallas, landed safely at eight forty five last night after reporting some sort of mechanical problem. Last week, a United Boeing seven seven seven made and emergency landing at LAX after losing a tire during takeoff in San Francisco. Man Boeing just cannot catch

a break right now. A federal judge is said to hear arguments on whether to dismiss the classified Documents prosecution of Donald Trump. The former president's lawyers say Trump was entitled under the Presidential Records Act to keep the sensitive documents with him when he left the White House and headed to Mara a Lago in Florida. SpaceX has been given the ok by the FAA, and we'll try again today

to launch the latest prototype of its Starship Moon Rocket. The uncrewed flight will lift off on a super heavy rocket booster from the starbas launch site in Texas. That window just opened up. The first two test flights last year ended with the Starship blowing up mid flight at six oh five. It's handle on

the news. As I just mentioned, Boeing's having a tough go of it after another emergency landing, also problems figuring out why there were no bolts in that emergency exit plug that blew out midflight on an Alaska flight last month. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Sixteen SWAT team members with the Orange County Sheriff's Department had been

hurt in an explosion at an FBI training facility in Irvine. Thirteen of those members were taken to local hospitals because of dizziness and ringing in their ears. OC Sheriffs Sergeant Frank Gonzalez's members were wearing their usual protective when a device exploded indoors. This incident is going to be investigated by our department and coordination with the FBI. Gonzalez says. One person needed surgery on his leg after the

explosion yesterday, but the man's injury wasn't life threatening. The remaining deputies with minor injuries have been released from hospitals in Orange County. Chris Sadler KFI News A proposed two hundred foot long wall to protect a rail line in San Clementy is estimated to cost about two hundred million dollar. Doctor Susie Whitelaw with Save our Beaches San Clementy, says the coastline is already too narrow for a wall. She says replenishing the sand would solve the problem. All you need to

do is put sand back and wide in those beaches. Once you have a two hundred foot beach in front of those tracks again, you don't have this problem with the landslides and the erosion. The OCTA says the wall will help protect the track's long term, but there are several areas that are vulnerable and in need of emergency repairs. It's not clear what the height and design of

the proposed half mile long wall would look like. An LA City councilman running for reelection has seen his primary election lead Vanish incumbent Kevin Dallyon has dropped to second place in the fourteenth district primary and updated vote totals released Wednesday, Attorney and political newcomer Isabel Herrado is now in the top spot. She's also well ahead of State assembly members Miguel Santiago and Wendy Corrio, who are in third

and fourth place. The top two will face off in November's general election. Meanwhile, incumbent council member Nthia Rahman now has fifty point six four percent of the vote, meaning she could avoid a runoff after a costly and contentious primary against Deputy City Attorney Ethan Weaver, who's got thirty eight percent of the vote. Michael Monks KFI News. Former Dodgers player Steve Garvey has moved ahead of

Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff in California's US Senate primary race. As of yesterday, Garvey was leading Shift by about forty eight hundred votes. Neither candidate got more than fifty percent of the vote to win the election outright, So that means that the top two finishers, which are Garvey and Schiff, will face each other in November. We're going to check in now and see if we've got Nick poly o'channe ready we do. We're going to take a first look at

your morning commute. Good morning, Okay, we're not going to check in with Nick right now. Do we have Jordana ready to go? Okay, let's check in instead with avc's Jordana Miller. Good morning, Jordana, the Israelis appeared to have taken out a big target, and we're not talking about a place, we're talking about a person. That's right. Israel has taken out a top Hamas, a commander in Rafa, That of course, is the very the city that straddles the Gaza Egyptian border where there are over a

million civilians. There a lot of controversy over a possible idea of operation there. Israel claims there are four battalions of Hamas operating there, and they took out one of the commanders yesterday in a targeted strike on a vehicle. Unfortunately, that strike also killed five others and wounded about twenty and that includes one

un worker because the strike happened near a distribution center for aid. So you know, as we've seen time and time again Hamas operating within densely populated civilian areas. There is no place in the Godza strip where Hamas you know,

it holds back from combat or firing or placing weapons or troops. And it has turned out to be an ugly, ugly side effect is how many civilians we've seen killed now the number over thirty one thousand, okay, And so they're continuing to like Uster said, they operate close to civilian areas, which puts them at risk, but also then they can claim, oh, well, you're killing civilians, right. I mean, this is the dirty and distorted war that Hamas has always fought against Israel. And this is how this

militant extremist group operates terrorist group. It uses civilians for cover, It operates out of UN facilities, out of schools, out of mosques. We just got a notice from the Israeli aren't we about weapons that were just found in

the bedroom of children that they are going to send us. It's you know, every day there's more proof of the way they operate, which is cynical and shows you that Hamas has little regard for the pavilions that are living in the Gaza Strip that are really paying the steepest price in there with their They did not start nor want Yeah, okay, we're also getting word this morning, Jordana that the Israeli military is planning to push about one and a half

million displaced Palestinians in Rafa toward humanitarian islands in the center of the Gaza Strip because it's gonna it says, it's going into Rafa. So now they've got to figure out what to do with everybody who's been kind of hunkering down in Rafa. So have you heard anything about that on the humanitarian islands? Right?

So, the Israeli Army gave a briefing to reporters yesterday and revealed the first real details of where they're going to move or try to move over a million thousand civilians who fled often several times during this war and ended up down by the border with Egypt around Rafa. And these early armies says they're going to move them up to the center of the Gaza strip and create what they called humanitarian islands with electricity and housing and food. And the Israeli armies said

they do it with their international partners. It sounds like tent camps that will be set up in central Gaza. You know. The Israeli Army didn't give a timeline on this when it would start. Clearly it would take several weeks. And most importantly, the United States says they have not seen this evacuation plan yet, though everyone expects the Israeli Army will present it to the Biden administration, but as recently as yesterday it's arc charity. Stated Anthony B.

Lincoln that the US had not seen this evacuation plan. Remember, President Biden has warned and even threatened his support military support in the sense for this war. Should Israel go to Rafa without taking steps to secure the safety of over a million gossins. Right, the President said he will not support an operation there that does not make a place to safely evacuate civilians. So this is the plan that the United States is going to have to see, possibly work

on with Israel, and again a major operation. It just shows us that it is still weeks away, Okay. And then on the northern border, we got word that there was more crossfire between Israel and Lebanon. And what was the outcome of that? I mean, every day there is back and forth volleys of fire between Hazbalah and Israel. It has been escalating slowly,

slowly, but surely. Yesterday we saw Israel strike take strikes deep into southern Lebanon where they say they also killed Hamak operatives that operate out of Lebanon. There's some fire that came out of Syria yesterday where Israel hit Hasblah, a military infrastructure on Syrian soil, and on the Israeli side, you know, there were in the last twenty four hours, maybe thirty hours, there's been more than one hundred rockets that have come over, and that includes also drones

that have been shot down, including one this morning. So there really is a kind of undeclared war going on on Israel's northern border. Well, and we haven't heard about that. I know that you you're following it, but I keep asking you about what's going on in the Gaza Strip and you know, and so Israel's kind of fighting on more than one front. So thank you for giving us up an update on that, and we'll be talking to

you again soon. Jordana, thanks so much. Take care. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the CAMFI twenty four hour newsroom. The man considered the first person in La County to get COVID nineteen has had a chance to visit the doctors who saved his life. Greg Garfield says he remains eternally grateful for the staff at Providence Saint Jose in Burbank. In February of twenty twenty, Garfield went to the er with breathing problems, but

was soon diagnosed with what was then called novel coronavirus. Soon after, his organs shut down and Garfield went into a coma for thirty one days. He was in the hospital a total of sixty four The paraphrase Oppenheimer the COVID pandemic changed the world. Garfield told ABC seven he got the virus while on a ski trip in Europe. This week marks the four year anniversary of the official

start of the pandemic. Steve Gregory Kaphie News Orange Bellie say a man with multiple prior DUI convictions has been arrested for driving drunk and killing a pedestrian. Investigators say Jonathan Lopez hit the guy outside of a crosswalk and took off. Orange Police Lieutenant Bill McMullen says detectives found the guy's badly damaged car to day about ten minutes after the crash. A short pursuit ensued for approximately a mile and a half. The guy faces vehicular homicide, felony hit and run,

felony evading, and felony DUI. He had four prior convictions of DUI in the last ten years. Three of those were in Orange County and one was out of state. He says Lopez was also driving without a license in Orange Corbin Carson kf I News. Orange County has approved the creation of a commission to focus on the experiences of women and girls. President and CEO of the Brand Chamber of Commerce, Lacy Shane says it's important for the county to get

involved because the under representation of women in leadership roles has been proven. We know that there is problems with women getting to the top, and we know that a lot of this stuff starts very early in childhood in terms of the disparities that women experience. Supervisor Doug Chafee says the commission will focus on improving gender equality in employment, health, and representation. The Commission will be required to provide an annual report to the Board and the public on its findings.

House Speaker Mike Johnson says the House will apply every amount of pressure on the Senate to get a bill passed to ban TikTok. The House approved it yesterday. The bill would require TikTok's parent company, Byte Dance to divest from the app within six months or it will be prohibited. Lawmakers say they're concerned Bite Dance is loyal to the Chinese government and poses a national security threat to the US. A calf in Louisiana is going to have you seeing double. They've

named the calf duh face like deux like uh uh. It was born late last month. She's white with brown stripes calf and has two conjoined faces with four eyes. According to the farm's Facebook page, she's making progress so far, which is pretty rare for a cow with that condition. The oldest one on record lived for less than forty days, but the odds of existing at all are one in just four hundred million. That's two hundred times more rare

than winning the powerball jackpot. By the way, there was no Powerball jackpot winter last night, so the next jackpot four I believe Saturday is up to six hundred million dollars. You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI Am six forty. This Thursday three fourteen is Pie Day. I just had my first bite of pie from Lori's Pie Bar. Oh my gosh, it's so delicious. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

Sixteen SWAT team members have been injured in an explosion at an FBI training Center in Irvine. None of the injuries are life threatening, but one person did have to have surgery. Most of the injuries involve ringing in the ears or dizziness. Protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza have disrupted traffic and blocked security checkpoints inside the international terminal at San Francisco International Airport. Some even chained themselves

to the escalators yesterday that link the international and domestic terminals. Waimo will begin offering free rides in La today. The robotaxis with no driver will be taking people around an area from Santa Monica to LA for free for the next week. You do have to sign up for the waitlist and oh, by the way, fifty thousand people have already signed up for it. At six oh five, it's handled on the news. First for a Vice President Kamala Harris

is going to visit an abortion clinic. Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's crime and Terrorism analyst Brad Garrett. Good morning, Brad, Good Good morning, Amy. It's been a minute, so we wanted to get you on because we want to talk TikTok. The House passed to build a band TikTok if its parent company doesn't sell to a US company and they say

national security threat. But I want to get like the practical, the practical terms of how that's a security threat, because to most people, TikTok is just dance videos and songs, and that part of it amy is true. I mean, watching dance videos, cooking shows, fill in the blank. It's not so much what you're watching, it's what China can potentially collect on

you and do it on such a large scale. I mean, if you think that over half or approximately half of the US population one hundred and seventy million plus of US have TikTok accounts, it gives the Chinese and unbelievable reach at least into who we are. Now. I'm not suggesting that you have information on your TikTok accounts that gives them a wealth of information, but it gives them who you are. Then they can do additional information about your likes,

your dislikes, and they can figure that out probably from TikTok. The idea is they can build big data on half of the population in the US. And then you would say to me, then, well what would they do with that? Well, they can use it to put out disinformation. They can use it to collect and at some point down the road use this big data in biotechnology. Could they use it on the dark side of the story to you know, developing some super awful virus that they could potentially release

that would maximize it's harm based on what they've collected on us. You know, it's hard. It's hard for the average person, and I get that to sort of move it to that point, right, But I can tell you the national security people I talk to are really concerned. You could argue, but go ahead, Oh, I was just going to say so on again a very basic level, because again, the whole national security threat for the everyday people, and you're saying that they could take all of your information.

So like when I go, well, why would I care if China knows that I like cats and Disneyland and they take that and they could go, oh, well, if ninety five percent of America's pot population has a cat, we could introduce a cat virus that could be spread to humans. I mean, yeah, I think it's a stretch, but it's not that simplistic. It just isn't. And it's really hard to sort of describe how

that would work. But I think you have to look at it that you know, let's let's reduce this to a chess board, the collecting cyber or data information. You know, you have, you know, red chips, black chips. They move around the board, but collectively they tell you more

about what people think, what people feel. And I think Congress and others, and clearly people in the national security world have real concerns that China, who as you may well steal more cyber stuff from us, from probably anybody else in the world, that then they have all of this data they're collecting. It's the idea of the comprehensiveness of the collection, not what you and

I are watching. That's really not the big part of it. And I realized it's not some and you can touch and say, well that's tangible, because it's it's it's it's so much bigger than that. So I think people, I doubt of anybody that's on TikTok in the US like the idea that the Chinese government is the one collecting those information. But to your point, you know, do they really care, Well, at some point maybe they should. Okay, and then if China has it, then other social media

companies do too. But we're not concerned about them because they're US owned, or are we also concerned about them? Well, there are other there are other social media apps in China that people use here. It doesn't have the reach or remotely the reach of TikTok. But if you think about you know, Google, YouTube, YouTube x, Instagram and Meta aren't China at all because Chinese law says, if you are you know, social media company, you have to share your data with us. It's just a law there.

And so obviously they're not there anymore. They were years and years ago, but once this law started to affect them, they left. So, you know, the Chinese kind of want to have it both ways. And we'll see. The other side of this, of course, is if you ban TikTok, and it's I think it's iffy whether the Senate will pass it, but let's say that they do. You're going to have a crowd under thirty

five. It's going to be not happy. I mean, it's funny that this could actually have political ramifications if in fact the Senate and the House both pass it. So we'll see. Yeah, and let's talk about that. So former President Trump was against TikTok, but has now come out saying you'd rather see Facebook banned because that's the real evil. And President Biden has back to the ban on government devices for TikTok, but now he's posting campaign ads

on TikTok. So if TikTok is a threat, why are both of them going to eat backing off on their positions against it? Well, I mean who knows. I mean, there's one thought, and who knows if it's accurate or true or relevant that you know, one of the early big backers of TikTok here is a big Trump backer. So the presumption is he probably gives Trump's campaign a lot of money, and so you know, did he back away because of that? I have no idea, But that's that's another

idea or thought. You know why President Biden is using TikTok when he's trying to ban it, I guess because of its reach. If it reaches over half the population or half of us, that's you know, that's a lot of millions of people that you could get your word to the word out. Yeah. And you said, even if we did bam it officially, I mean, how would they stop it? Well, I mean the Chinese stop us. I mean they have you know all these apps I just mentioned our

social media apps are banned there. I mean, we have the ability to shut it off. Now, could you get it some other way? I don't. I don't know, not as easily as you get it as of today, but but we'll have to see. And you know, well that then caused something else to pop up someplace else in some other part of the

world that we don't like, like North Korea or someplace like that. You know, this is almost a bit plain whack a mole because if you think about it this way, we created the Internet obviously some years ago, and then we decided it needed to be protected, and so we've played ketchup basically.

I mean simplistic here, but we've basically been playing ketchup since we created the Internet to actually protect it. And now that's what you know, there's this constant movement and things like China, and you know, it's every day it's some issue with social media that people are concerned about, and many times rightly so sort of like we let the genie out of the bottle and now we're stuck with it. So all right, it's out there. Yeah,

all right, thank you so much for the information. Brad Garrett, ABC's crime and Terrorism analyst. We'll be talking to you again soon. You're listening to a wake up call on demand from KFI Am six forty. I'm going to tell you some great pie deals or Pie Day deals coming up in just a few minutes. But I have to tell you, thanks to Laurie's Pie Bar, I am celebrating Pie Day. I think it. It's lemony goodness that I just tried. So I've tried two of them so far, because

it's my job to try as much pie as possible. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. And American Airlines Flight has made an emergency landing at LAX. The Boeing Triple seven, which took off from Dallas, landed safely around A forty five last night after reporting some sort of mechanical

problem. We don't have any more details than that. Last week, un Night, Airlines Bowing Triple seven made an emergency landing at LAX after losing a tire during takeoff in San Francisco. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken says there is a strong proposal on the table right now for a temporary ceasefire in the Israel Hamas war. He told reporters yesterday. It is now up to Hamas to

take the deal and end the suffering in the region. SpaceX has been given the ok from the FAA, and we'll try again today to launch the latest prototype of its Starship Moon rocket. The uncrewed flight will lift off on a super heavy rocket booster from the starbas launch site in Texas. The first two test flights last year ended with the Starship blowing up mid flight. At six

oh five, it's handled on the news. Guantanamo Bay could soon become a processing center for Haitians who are trying to get out of their gang ravaged country. At five point fifty, we're going to be talking with ABC's Jim Ryan about the odds of your car getting stolen in how people are even placed bets on that right now road again. Just can't wait to get all the road

again. Oh. We love to get out and about around southern California, and this week we went out and about one of my favorite places, the Disneylane Resort, because it is food and wine festival time at Disney California Adventure Park, and of course Nick poulio'channi and I went and had to sip and savor our way through the park, and I love what you had to Well we had to, yes, well okay, so we got to we had to whatever. No, I'm on board with that one hundred percent. I

think it is a duty. So yeah. And so this year's Food and Wine Festival at California Adventures going on now through April twenty second, And if you haven't been before, here's just a quick synopsis of it. You go into the regular park and they have all of the regular things available, so all the great rides and the great food and the fun entertainment and the care and all of that stuff. But in addition to that, they have these

food kiosks set up and I think there is like ten of them. And in addition to that, they also have special items offered at some of the stand what are they called the walk up restaurants right right, so what you're talking about, and the oh, there's about ten market places available, and then they have special addition food items at the regular restaurant venues that you're used to, where you can normally you get what you would be usually getting on

a day of Disney California Adventure. Right, but then they have some special offerings and we've been before, and I think Nick and I we both have agreed that this year is probably the best they've had in years. Yeah. It was amazing. It really really truly was such a good time and the food was delicious. Yeah, okay, So what you do is you can buy the things individually as you're walking around, or you can get this what's called a Sip and Saber pass and that's for like six different is it five

or six, so it's eight different tastes. And this share is new because there are two different versions of the past, so you can get it's for I think thirty two dollars. Do you double a check out Disneyland dot com for all the details. But you can get a four sampler pack or an eight sampler pack. We recommend the sampler pack absolutely because especially there's four for each of us exactly. And then so it's a it's a small meal, so it's not like a big plate of food, and it's great for sharing.

And they had uh, we tried so much, so much. But one of our favorite desserts was the frozen Old Fashioned, which was an ice cream bar that tastes like an old fashioned non alcoholic though. Uh. And as far as like the food stuff, we had barbecue, pulled pork mac and cheese and it was so so good. And one of my other favorites were the where is it the well the cheeseburger boo. So it's a I would call it fusion of American and Chinese, right or no, it's boo

Chinese or Korean or Japanese, I don't know. It's Asian food of some form. But they also had cheese pizza flavored wings. Sounds weird, but it was just it was wings with like pizza flavored sauce on it, except it's not like a wet sauce. It was like a dry rub and it was delicious. Also, it's Chinese. There we go. Chinese looks real

quick. Yeah. And then because it is a food and wine festival, they have wine and they have some other cocktails, so we did a little wine tasting while we were there, and we also tried a couple of the adult beverages at Nuts About Cheese, which is one of the marketplaces or kiosks that they have set up. They have a peanut butter and jelly whiskey shake and it was fantastic. And they also had a peach cobbler beverage which was

so good. So so many different flavors from kind of all over the world and weird little concoctions that you would go is that going to be good? But it really was. And we noticed, like again the pizza flavored chicken wings and the cheeseburger bow. They're kind of these mashups of food, but the imagineers in the kitchens at Disneyland came up with such great taste and it does so it's a really great way to spend the day, and then you

can still do all of the other attractions that go on at Disneyland. And the other thing that they had is they had some fun special entertainment. So we were sitting in what area where we were sitting in over by the piernick for part of it, we were sitting by the beer garden, which would be part of not Carnation Plaza Gardens that's over at Disneyland Park. I guess it's just Paradise Peer Gardens Park and that's and it's one of the holdovers from

before everything became Pixar. Piers Okay, Well it's in a large seating area and they have a stage and they had this woman who was singing, and you're like, where, why isn't she on Broadway? I mean, like, Disney's talent is so so great. And then they had another show where they had Chippendale out there and they had like a drum line, but they didn't have drums. They had kitchen utensils that they were banging away gun chefs, sid jam and chefs and it was so fun. So a lot of

other entertainment to do it. But again, it's the Disney California Food and Wine Festival at Disney California Adventure, going on now through April twenty second, And as Nick mentioned, you can get all the information on the Disneyland website and you can also check out my Instagram at Amy K. King. We've had some fun videos that we put up and you can see some of the

foods because oh my goodness, they were good. And that's where we were out and about two this week, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty for our newsroom. An arrest has been made in connection with a threat on social media that caused a panic at Taft High School in Woodland Hills. A bunch of students jumped a fence on Tuesday to get off campus. Parents showed up to pick up their kids. One of the posts warned of a shooting, another showed a gun. The LA School

District says the person arrested is not a student. A guy from Lancaster has been found guilty of first degree murder for the deaths of his family. JaMarcus David showed no emotion when the verdict was read. Ellie County Sheriff's detective Steve Blagg was the lead investigator on the case. Blank says he remembers walking into the home November eighth, twenty twenty one, and seeing four kids and their grandmother's shot to death. Do you think this is one of the worst you've

ever witnessed. I'm definitely one of the worst. Yes. Blank says he was there for the verdict Tuesday afternoon. Once the verdicts were read, there was a sigh of relief from the family. Black says David's attorney wanted the charges to be second degree murder because David was distraught over his failed marriage. Steve Gregory ka fine news. Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced a bill that would

create a four day work week in the US without reducing pay. The Thirty two Hour work Week Act would protect employees wages and benefits, and would lower the threshold required for overtime. It would go from forty hours to thirty two. Sanders says Americans are over four hundred percent more productive than they were in the nineteen forties, yet millions are working longer hours for lower wages. AI

tools have started helping doctors set up appointments and send messages to patients. The director of Open Notes says the tools help doctors communicate with patients by answering emails and taking notes during exams. Doctors and nurses approve the AI generated messages before sending them, and the executive director of a wildlife center in Virginia is dressed

up as a fox to help nurse and orphaned baby fox. The director can be seen on video wearing a large furry fox mask and rubber gloves while feeding the baby kit so it doesn't imprint on a human. The baby fox was found February twenty ninth, with her umbilical stump still attached. The little critter was trapped and removed from the woods. That say the goal will be to release her back into the wild. You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand

from KFI Am six forty. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Sixteen SWAT team members have been injured in an explos at an FBI training center in Irvine. None of the injuries are life threatening, but one person did have to have surgery. Most of the injuries involve ringing in the ears and dizziness. A federal judge is set to hear arguments on whether

to dismiss the classified documents case of the former President. Trump's lawyers say the former president was entitled under the Presidential Records Act to keep the documents with him when he left the White House and headed to Florida. The city of Long Beach is planning to develop the forty three acres of land surrounding the Queen Mary. Plans call for building a temporary amphitheater in an entertainment area on the waterfront

around the cruise ship, which will host live music and other events. If it's successful, a permanent amphitheater may be built we're just minutes away from handle On the news this morning, SpaceX is hoping the third times the charm as it gets the go ahead to launch its massive starship that will one day carry astronauts to the Moon. Right now, let's say good morning too, ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim, you can bet on anything these days,

including what kind of car is going to get stolen? Yeah? Absolutely? Yeah. By the way, I saw that rocket. I was down in Brownsville three weeks ago. Maybe, Yeah, thing is huge sitting there on the launch Paddy. Yeah, it's amazing, really a sight. Okay, So yes, betting you can place bets, probably talk about the rocket too. I'm with that. I bet you can. I bet you could bet on whether or not that rocket will fire on time, and maybe bet on the time that it will fire. It's called a prop bat, right.

It's not about the score of a game or about any of the statistics involved there. Prop bets are about weird things like celebrity gossip or about whether the Royals will stay together or break up. You know, weird stuff like that, even you know politics, and there's lots of them around the Super Bowl, like what kind what colors the gator Rade. Yeah, yeah, and so here's one. Looking at the National Insurance Crime Bureaus Hot Wheels report,

you can that's a great name. The vehicles are listed by their frequency of theft. Right out at the top of the this Chevy pickup and the second place GMC pickups and then FOURD pickups are in third place. So, and especially in places where a lot of people dry pickups, you're going to find that those are the ones that are most commonly stolen because there are so many

out there on the road and they're fairly easy to steal. One. Rather, eight hundred and eighty six out of one hundred thousand Chevy pickups end up being stolen. Right further down the list, you're going to find things like the Ti, the Alanta, the Honday, Alanchra, the Hunday sent out of those vehicles that we found in the last couple of years are fairly easy to steal. Break open the steering column, stick a USB connector in there

and make the connection and boom the things starts right up. It's great, right, and that's what car thieves have found. So yeah, that make the Hyundais and the Kias have broken the list here recently right, and Honda

has traditionally been a highly vulnerable vehicle as well. Right, three Hounds are on the list of the top ten, the CRV, the Hanta Civic, and the Honda Corridor on the list, and in tenth places the Toyota Camra, which also has been a wildly popular vehicle in the last couple of decades. And is there anything people can do to increase their odds of not getting these cars stolen? Well, it seems that the club, the old style club, is one thing that there's to have one of those. Yeah,

I bet your car wasn't stolen either, was it. Nope? Right? I mean it makes it pretty much impossible to drive the car with that thing. It's low tech, it's easy to put on to take off when you get behind the wheel, and it apparently works very well. And what's more, it's very visible, So somebody passing by the car and thinking of shattering the window getting in and stealing the thing sees that from the outside doesn't even bother breaking the window. So that seems to be the one thing that the

theft specialists or anti theft specialists recommend. Sure you've got all sorts of alarm systems. You've got high tech that you can put on your phone to monitor your car, but it seems like the old school club the thing that you strap onto the wind down to the steering wheel seems to work best. You know what. I always think it is interesting about the alarms because most of them are just they're so annoying that when I hear an alarm go off in

the neighborhood, I don't think, oh, somebody's stealing it. I go, oh, somebody set off their alarm by mistake, and when are they going to turn it off? Yeah? It's sort of counterproducts a little boy who cried wolf. Right. You know, we get so used to it that we don't even pay attention anymore when and when a car alarm goes off, and so yeah, just your sort of your left to fend for yourself to protect your vehicle from being stolen. Yeah, okay, so we know

the top ten with trucks up at the top. Yep, do we know what the least likely car to be stolen is not? I mean, there is a list compiled and they look at that. But once you get off into the weeds like that, it becomes pretty tough to parse them. Out, you know, but I mean suffice it to say that if you're looking to top ten list. So the Chevy pickup truck, eight hundred and eighty six out of one hundred thousand are stolen. The Toyota Camray only one hundred

and ninety five out of one hundred thousand are stolen. So your chances are about one in eight compared to the thefts of the Chevy pickup truck if you buy a Toyota camera. So you know, that may be one direction to go. Look at that style of vehicle and some of the anti theft features that it has and match that up against what you need. Yeah, and I don't know if this is a national trend, but here in the LA area, camaros are a hot commodity right now. Yeah, and or what

they're like. They're not sure why could be because like all the street racing that goes on or some of the fast and Furious movies. But camaros are pretty hot ticket. Okay. So the message from all of this is if you've got a truck, you might want to get a club. You might want to get a club, right and if you want to bet on this, just go to any of the million and one online betting sites out there. Look for prop bets and you can probably bet on which car will be

stolen the most twenty twenty four. Okay, you can bet on it. Jim, all right, thank you, ABC's Jim Ryan. I appreciate, thank you. Carr. All right, let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Sixteen Orange County Sheriff's swats deputies have been hurt in an explosion in Irvine.

injury, but it's not life threatening. The Orange County DAS used two hundred and fifty thousand dollars taken from criminals to buy billboards that Warren Crooks to keep out the criminals are coming in from other places. Orange County DA Todd Spitzer says his new heist unit prosecuted one hundred and forty one burglars and robbers in its first nine months, and only one was from Orange County. It's really important at all the entries to Orange County that a warning individual do not think

that this is Los Angeles. We still prosecute to the full s extent of the laws. Pitzer says the four week campaign will reach thirty eight million people with the billboards, but also bumper stickers, bus ads and text messages for when people cross into the county.
