It's still obviously wet on the ground 10 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 3: and other places, but it's not raining. The wetness is 11 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 3: not currently falling from the sky, and as I turn 12 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 3: around and look out the window, it still seems to 13 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 3: be holding true, So that is a nice reprieve, but 14 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 3: not for long. And of course, the biggest story in 15 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 3: all of southern California right now is the rain. 16 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 2: For sure. Updates. 17 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 3: As you heard Aileen say, there's a little break, and 18 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 3: the National Weather Service says it's coming back. 19 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 2: It's coming back. 20 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 3: There's a seventy percent chance today in La County and 21 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 3: Orange County. Evacuation orders in La County have been lifted, 22 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 3: but there is still a flood advisory for the vulnerable areas, 23 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 3: those burned scar areas in the Altadena and Palisades regions. 24 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 3: That is in effect until today about two forty five pm, 25 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 3: so another thirty eight minutes or so for that flood advisory. 26 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 3: And we're also all being advised to watch out for 27 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 3: falling trees. Might not be the best time to park 28 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 3: your car beneath a large or small tree because of 29 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 3: the very saturated soil, so trees are also a bit compromised. 30 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 3: Another storm system will hit tomorrow mid morning in the 31 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 3: Metro La area. Also not a good time to surf. 32 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 3: I'll give you a little awful story in a moment, 33 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 3: but let me give you some tallies. So some La 34 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 3: County areas saw as much as five inches of rain 35 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 3: yesterday and into the overnight areas. Mount Baldy was our 36 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 3: top earner at just over five inches in La County. 37 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 3: Orange County topped out at about three and a half inches, 38 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 3: and that was marked at the Fullerton Airport. Ventura County 39 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 3: saw between four and five inches of rain everywhere, so 40 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 3: it was coming down out there in Ventura County, and 41 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,399 Speaker 3: then in San Bernardino County, Cuckamonga Canyon had the highest 42 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 3: total at just over four point three inches, so a 43 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 3: lot of rain fell and more is to come. Now 44 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 3: back to a good reason as to why you shouldn't 45 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 3: be going into the surf, and I know that whenever 46 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 3: there's these. 47 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: Big waves, and it was really windy. 48 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 3: It was really windy for a period of time last 49 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 3: night and early morning. 50 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: And by the way, did you hear that thunder? 51 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 3: I was actually at my gym and I was on 52 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 3: the ground level and looking out at the courtyard area, 53 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 3: and the entire thing lit up, lit up very brightly 54 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 3: around nine thirty or so. And the funny thing is 55 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 3: later the neighborhood crime apps and neighborhood watch apps were 56 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 3: all a flutter with people asking what was that big sound? 57 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 2: Thunder? 58 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 3: It's called thunder people, and it happened yesterday. But back 59 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 3: to the awful story about surfing. Don't get in the 60 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 3: water right now. You might be drawn to these big waves, 61 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 3: and they are big, but that also means that they 62 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 3: are very powerful. There's a story out of northern California. 63 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 3: Actually in the big sur area, there was a five 64 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 3: year old girl who was swept off the shop door 65 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 3: line by fifteen to twenty foot waves created by the 66 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 3: same atmospheric river storm that we were just under that 67 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 3: we're still currently sitting under, although it seems to be 68 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 3: moving out, But that storm produced these huge waves up north. 69 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 3: Her dad jumped in to save her and was unfortunately killed. 70 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 3: The five year old girl is still missing. An awful, 71 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 3: awful story out of the Big sur area. There are 72 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 3: other stories floating around, of course. The US Justice Department 73 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 3: has announced it's joining California Republicans in a lawsuit over 74 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 3: California's new congressional maps that were made possible by the. 75 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: Passage of Prop. Fifty. 76 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 3: And that passage happened earlier this month in an overwhelming vote. 77 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 3: But California Republicans and the US Justice Department are joining 78 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 3: forces to suit. They don't want it to happen, and 79 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 3: we'll see what happens with that lawsuit. LA has reformed 80 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 3: rent control for the first time in forty years, and 81 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 3: under these reforms, which were approved by the majority overwhelming 82 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 3: majority of city council members, rent hikes will be capped 83 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 3: at four percent, and that's even if inflation in the 84 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 3: overall economy runs higher. LA has a current rent control 85 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 3: rule that guarantees that landlords have the right to raise 86 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 3: rents at least three percent every year, but now it will. 87 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 2: Be capped at four percent annually. 88 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 3: Increases in the past have gone as high as ten 89 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 3: percent in some apartments during periods of high inflation also, 90 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 3: which has made it impossible to rent anything affordably. But 91 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 3: now this cap, which was passed by twelve of the 92 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: Council's fifteen members, will make it so landlords cannot go 93 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 3: pass asked four person annually. 94 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 2: There was an. 95 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 3: Inmate who walked away earlier this week from a California 96 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 3: prison fire camp. Actually happened a week ago today. Alejandro Tobarfuintes, 97 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 3: thirty three years old, was at the Francisquito Conservation Camp 98 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 3: in La County and last Sunday night he walked away, 99 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 3: and what happened was the search of the camp revealed 100 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 3: he was not on the property and local law enforcement 101 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: was notified. And this particular camp allows inmates to work 102 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 3: in wildline fire suppression and infrastructure maintenance in order to 103 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 3: shave time from their sentences. But Tobarfuintes walked away and 104 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 3: he was located and taken into custody in Mecca, which 105 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 3: is a small town near the Coachella Valley. He was 106 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 3: arrested without incident and undoubtedly will have time now added 107 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 3: to his sentence, don't walk away from your fire camp. 108 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 3: And then there's a new documentary that is premiering on 109 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 3: Netflix December first. This documentary is it's gonna do a lot, 110 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 3: It's going to pull at a lot of emotions, and 111 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 3: rightfully so. It's called All the Empty Rooms. And what 112 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 3: it does is it documents the left behind bedrooms of 113 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 3: school shooting victims. It follows veterans CBS News correspondent Steve 114 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 3: Hartman and photographer Lou Bop as they embark on a 115 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 3: seven year project to document the empty bedrooms of children 116 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 3: killed in school shootings. That premiere is on Netflix on 117 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 3: December first. When we come back, we're going to talk tariffs. 118 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 3: I know we haven't been talking about them as much 119 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 3: as perhaps maybe a month or two ago, but now 120 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 3: we're going to again because Trump is promising. President Trump 121 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 3: has promised to lower tariffs on these goods amongst concerns 122 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 3: about affordability. However, on the flip side, tariffs may be 123 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 3: raised for these things. Right at the holidays, the worst 124 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 3: possible time to see a tariff spike on these specific items. 125 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 2: We'll talk about. 126 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 3: All of this and more as I fill in here 127 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 3: for Andy Reesemeyer today from two to four. Tiffany Hobbs here. 128 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 3: We'll still have scammers gonna scam. We'll still have our 129 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 3: Deeper Dive segment. It's going to be a big fun show, 130 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 3: and I look forward to you joining us KFI AM 131 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 3: six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 132 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 133 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 3: We were all here yesterday when it was pouring. Oh man, 134 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 3: last night around what was it, around nine or so. 135 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 3: It's just buckets buckets everywhere. It was just you know, 136 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 3: it's really fun to watch when you're inside, but commuting 137 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 3: was a mess. I hope you all have been able 138 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 3: to travel safely. And remember the rain is coming back. 139 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 3: It's coming back starting tomorrow mid morning, and there's a 140 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 3: chance of rain every day throughout next week. So just prepare, 141 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 3: put the air in your tires, change your tires. I 142 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 3: know I have some things to do that way. Just 143 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 3: make sure you're ready, by an umbrella. For God's sake, 144 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 3: so many people walking around with just unprepared, unprepared Southern Californians. 145 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 3: We are, but it's coming back, be ready. Something else 146 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 3: that's coming back, unfortunately, has to do with tariffs. But 147 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 3: before we get into the tariffs that will be increasing, 148 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 3: let's give us some good news about tariffs that will 149 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 3: be lowering. President Trump on Friday, just a couple of 150 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 3: days ago, signed an executive order that retroactively lowers tariffs 151 00:09:52,800 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 3: on beef, tomatoes, coffee, and bananas. Beef, tomatoes, coffee, and banana, 152 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 3: among other agricultural imports. This order that President Trump signed 153 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 3: excludes the goods from something called reciprocal tariff rates, which 154 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 3: start at ten percent and can go as high as 155 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 3: fifty percent. For instance, tomatoes from Mexico, which is a 156 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 3: major supplier to the US, will continue to be tariffed 157 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 3: at seventeen percent. But many of the commodities that will 158 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 3: no longer face reciprocal tariffs have seen some of the 159 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 3: biggest price increases since President Trump took office, and that's 160 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 3: in part because of the tariffs he imposed and a 161 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 3: lack of sufficient domestics supply. 162 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 2: So prices were already up on a lot. 163 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 3: Of these goods again, beef, tomatoes, coffee, bananas, and now 164 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 3: to try and mitigate those rising costs, President Trump is 165 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 3: lowering the tariffs. For instance, again, Brazil is the top 166 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 3: supplier of coffee to the US and they've faced tariffs 167 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 3: of fifty percent since August, which has resulted in consumers 168 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 3: like you and I paying nearly twenty percent more for 169 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 3: coffee as of this past September compared to a year ago. 170 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 3: And that's according to Consumer Price Index data. We've all 171 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 3: been to the grocery store. We all see the sticker shock. 172 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 3: At this point, we're used to it, and we know 173 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 3: we normalize the shock of these rising prices. But hopefully 174 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 3: as we enter into the holiday season, the deep holiday season, 175 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 3: some of these things will be relief. Some of these 176 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 3: high prices will start to come down. And that's what 177 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 3: this order is supposed to do now, while beef, tomatoes, coffee, 178 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 3: and bananas and some other agricultural imports will come down. 179 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 3: On the flip side, I have some really, really bad 180 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 3: news for all of us who love our wine. I 181 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 3: don't know if Shannon Farrin's listening, but Shannon, sorry to 182 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 3: tell you this, and for me as well. I just 183 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 3: bought a bottle yesterday, and I'll tell you about sticker shock. 184 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 2: What used to be Okay, I buy the cheap wine. 185 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 3: What used to be six dollars seven bucks was last 186 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 3: night ten dollars. 187 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 2: Luckily, make a couple extra bucks. 188 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 3: I can't afford a ten dollars bottle of wine, but 189 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 3: still seeing the prices go up almost immediately is something 190 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 3: that can stop you in your tracks. 191 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 2: And tariffs are coming for our wine. First. They came 192 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 2: for our wine, and we did nothing. 193 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 3: Shoppers can expect higher prices and possibly slimmer selections at 194 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 3: your local wine shops, those specialty wine shops, your total Wine, 195 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 3: your Bevco, and also at the grocery store as importers 196 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 3: are facing steep tariffs and shopkeepers are dealing with declining demand. 197 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 3: Apparently people do not drink wine like they used to. 198 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 3: That was the bigger shock to me versus the prices 199 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 3: that there is a growing decrease in the amount of 200 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 3: wine consumption in the United States. Bottle wine prices have 201 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 3: risen nearly twenty percent over the past twenty five years 202 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 3: and eight percent over the past decade, according to the 203 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 3: latest government data that tracks this, and several reasons are 204 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 3: to blame, including climate change which affects the grapes, of course, inflation, 205 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 3: and the rising costs of production. For instance, there's a 206 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 3: shop in Manhattan and New York called mccab's Wine and Spirits, 207 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 3: and they are expecting to increase their prices between five 208 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 3: percent and twelve percent because of tariffs, shipping, manufacturing, and labels. 209 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 3: Here's the decline information shocker. Wine volume consumed in the 210 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 3: United States has declined three percent between twenty nineteen and 211 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. I don't know if I should applaud 212 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 3: you guys, those of you who are drinking less wine 213 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 3: or be concerned that you're doing something else, and it's 214 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 3: expected to fall another four percent from twenty twenty four 215 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 3: to twenty twenty nine. That's according to an alcohol data 216 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 3: insights firm called iws R. Domestic wines, which President Trump 217 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 3: thought the tariffs would help, also aren't selling any better 218 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 3: this year. Notably, tequila and mescal are exempt from tariffs 219 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 3: since both fall under a twenty eighteen free trade agreement 220 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 3: that pre President Trump signed with Mexico during his first term. 221 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 3: Tequila and mesical our up wine is down as far 222 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 3: as consumption and then the opposite for pricing, and with 223 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 3: drastically smaller orders coming in from overseas, including a fifty 224 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 3: percent drop from France and a sixty six percent decline 225 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 3: from Italy. Shoppers might see all of that reflected on 226 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 3: store shelves, and I know I did last night at 227 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 3: Von's as my beloved wine went from seven dollars to 228 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 3: ten dollars. 229 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 2: And I stood there for a second. 230 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 3: I thought about it, and after I put two bottles 231 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 3: in my cart, I just kept it pushing. 232 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 2: All right, when we. 233 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 3: Come back, we're going to talk terror on the seas 234 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 3: or on the ocean at least, or on the water 235 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 3: at least, because we have a pair of stories. One 236 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 3: that involves Carnival, often not good news with Carnival lately, 237 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 3: and something that happened in France on a ferry, not 238 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 3: even out all the way in the ocean. This is 239 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 3: a ferry. This is a story I have to tell you. 240 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 3: So we have a carnival story about an infestation and 241 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 3: something on a ferry that children should not have heard 242 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 3: or seen. But did all of that more on the 243 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 3: other side of the break. Tiffany Hobbs here filling in 244 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 3: for Andy reids Meyer until four kf I AM six 245 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 3: forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 246 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 247 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 3: Filling in for Andy reids Meyer until four pm, and 248 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 3: then Chris Merrill will be aboard as usual.

Is this much ado about nothing? You know, 264 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 2: it's southern California. 265 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 3: We have to report on the rain because it's a 266 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 3: major thing. 267 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 2: It's a major thing. 268 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 3: Another major thing is if you enjoy cruising, of which 269 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 3: I've never gone on a cruise before. Then you want 270 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 3: to hear this next story. Unfortunately, I've heard other instances 271 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 3: of this happening, but in this case, there's a lawsuit 272 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 3: which legitimizes it. It makes it real. And what happened 273 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 3: is two Carnival cruise passengers are suing Carnival following an 274 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 3: alleged bed bug infestation in their cabin. A bedbug ill 275 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 3: can feel them, oh, a bedbug infestation in their cabin. 276 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 2: Now you think about cruising. 277 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 3: People are coming from everywhere, all over the world, and 278 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 3: they're bringing their belongings, and they're putting their belongings in 279 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 3: these rooms. And then you stay in the room, and 280 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 3: who knows what's there. God forbid you have a black light, 281 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 3: let alone you see bedbugs. But that's what happened for 282 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 3: these poor passengers. Catherine Shockley and William Maycock from Maryland 283 00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 3: said they suffered more than thirty individual bites after sleeping 284 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 3: in a stateroom on board the Carnival Horizon back in February. 285 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 3: So this lawsuit is just now coming to light. And 286 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 3: according to a complaint filed in the Southern District of Florida, 287 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 3: Miss Shockley quote searched the state room and discovered live 288 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 3: bedbugs in multiple stages of life, fecal spotting and eggs, 289 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 3: multiple stages of life, fecal spotting and eggs, multiple stages 290 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 3: of life, fecal spotting and eggs. Okay, okay. The complaint 291 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:47,719 Speaker 3: says that both passengers suffered numerous intensely itchy bites, resulting 292 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 3: in large, painful welts that required medical treatment and medication 293 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 3: and probably some mental health help as well, multiple dark splotches, 294 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 3: loss of sleep. 295 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 2: There. 296 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 3: It is mental distress, loss of personal property, and economic loss. 297 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 3: That's where the lawsuit comes in. They want to recoup 298 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 3: that economic loss and I'm sure for more than the 299 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 3: ticket they purchased. 300 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 2: Now. 301 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 3: Both passengers state that they alerted crew members to the 302 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 3: matter and that steps weren't taken to address the issue. 303 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 2: They said that the. 304 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 3: Carnival Cruise Line was negligent in warning them and did 305 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 3: not maintain the ship. A spokesperson for Carnival said that's rubbish. 306 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 2: They said. They told The Independent. 307 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 3: The spokesperson that they don't comment on pending litigation, but 308 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 3: that they do have it quote extensive and thorough guest 309 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 3: room sanitation process, with staff trained to conduct weekly inspections 310 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 3: of every cabin well not, according to Catherine Shockley and 311 00:20:54,320 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 3: William Maycock from Maryland, who spotted multiple bed but uggs 312 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 3: in various stages of life, fecal spotting and eggs. If 313 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 3: you are preparing to board a carnival ship or any ship, 314 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 3: watch out for multiple stages of life and fecal spotting 315 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 3: and eggs. I guess I don't know if you can 316 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 3: specific specifically ask to not have that in your room, 317 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 3: or is that you know? Is is that part of 318 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 3: the fine print that that may happen. I don't know. 319 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 3: I don't cruise. This is one of the reasons I don't. 320 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 3: There's something about being confined out on the open ocean 321 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 3: with a lot of people whose hygiene practices or home 322 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 3: environments or whatever it may be, you're not necessarily aware of, 323 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 3: and now you're all crammed together, and there it is. 324 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 3: You might walk away with bedbugs. On the other side 325 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 3: of the world, something happened in France doesn't involve a 326 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 3: cruise ship, but it does involve a ferry. 327 00:21:58,760 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: This one. 328 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 3: This one not as bad as bed bugs, but definitely 329 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 3: not good for the company. A fairy company says that 330 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 3: they've apologized after children were left screaming when a pornographic 331 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 3: film was played on one of their ships that went 332 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 3: from France to Sussex.

But we do the sun burnt 460 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 6: Christmas because it's the height of summer, so usually people 461 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 6: go to the beach and drink beer and eat seafood. 462 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 2: Got it. Got it? As if I didn't know you 463 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 2: were Jewish. 464 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 3: We talk about this all the time and then here 465 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 3: I go throwing this question to you. 466 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 2: It's fascinating. There are tens of us. That's great. I 467 00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 2: love a traditional Christmas tree. 468 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 3: I grew up with mixture of either fresh or tinsoil 469 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 3: or artificial with tinsol or without. And the colors were 470 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 3: always traditional. We always went for the classic red, green, gold. 471 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 3: You know, maybe some pops of burgundy or purple in there, 472 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 3: but it was always typically traditional. And in recent years 473 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 3: we've seen a departure from the traditional kind of maximalist 474 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,719 Speaker 3: Christmas tree with all those ornaments and the ones you 475 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 3: remember from your childhood if you're north of say thirty 476 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 3: at this point, to a more streamlined gray, monochromatic silver, 477 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 3: even or tope or cream type of aesthetic. 478 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,719 Speaker 2: Maybe large bows, but not a lot of color. 479 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 3: And again, for many years, that seemed to be what 480 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 3: influencers were pushing, and we saw it show up from 481 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 3: showrooms to commercials to you know, perhaps maybe even people 482 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 3: in your own neighborhood or perhaps even in your own home. 483 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 3: That apparently is out and something called Ralph Lauren Christmas 484 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 3: is in. And that's because it's based off of Ralph 485 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 3: Lauren's decadent festive window display at their Fifth Avenue Flagship's 486 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 3: store right there in New York, where they have beautiful furnishings. 487 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 3: They have silver, they have stockings, they have velvet, they 488 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 3: have pine covered garlands, red green gold. It's a return 489 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 3: to that sort of look, green tartan cushions, velvet, ornaments again, 490 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 3: bushy garlands, big trees, lots and lots. 491 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 2: And lots of ornaments. 492 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 3: Perhaps a fireplace or a faux fireplace in the background, 493 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 3: the smell of gingerbread wafting through your home or a 494 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 3: diffuser if you don't bake at any rate. It's all back, 495 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 3: and it's being driven by influencers once again who are 496 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 3: saying we want color, we want maximalism, and they want 497 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 3: more or less a nineties revival. It's based not just 498 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 3: on the Ralph Lauren look, but also on films like 499 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 3: Home Alone, these quintessential Christmas films that share so much 500 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 3: of that aesthetic and create a sense of nostalgia for 501 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 3: those of us who have been able to experience it. 502 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 3: There's a timelessness to this, and even though it's a 503 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 3: trend this year, a lot of these people track trends 504 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 3: say that this could very well propel into further years. 505 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 3: Is not going to be a one and done. They 506 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 3: say it's a departure from the sad, cold and joyless 507 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 3: beige Christmas that's been paraded in the last few years. 508 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 2: Kim Kardashian comes to mind. 509 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 3: Specifically, because she had a Christmas esthetic that was gray. 510 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:01,479 Speaker 3: It was gray and oatmeal colored and plus and people 511 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 3: wanted to recreate that for some strange reason. I don't know, 512 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 3: but I'm really glad that we're back to going full 513 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 3: Home Alone. This Christmas. You can recreate it on a budget. 514 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be Ralph Lauren. It could be anywhere, 515 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 3: as long as it brings you joy and as long 516 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 3: as it's colorful. And again, as I look at this 517 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 3: Autik Christmas tree here, it is gorgeous from their Autik 518 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 3: Homes Gold label.
