Hour 2 - Monks and Merrill continue to talk about the passing of Big Bear bald eagle Jackie, and share reactions from KFI listeners on the iHeartRadio app talkback feature.

A recent report from Feeding America shows food insecurity increased year over year between 2022 and 2024. Advocates say today’s reality could be much worse. The report published last week showed that about 1 in 6 kids in Orange County experienced food insecurity in 2024 — that’s up 27% from the year before. For some advocates, the report published last week was not surprising.

Friday’s Café LA Menu Tasting Event, hosted by newly minted LAUSD Superintendent Andrés E. Chait, featured popular TV chef Nyesha “The Ninja” Arrington, who helped mentor the students who created some of the tasty new selections, and LAUSD’s Manish Singh, Executive Director of the district’s Food Services Division.
