• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Happy Veterans Day. To anyone who has served or currently serving,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: we thank you. We salute you. You probably know veterans
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: that you don't even know served. I'm always amazed when
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I find out people I've known for years and they,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: you know, they obviously not super close friends, but acquaintances.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: And you're like, oh my gosh, you serve too. And
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: ran into a couple of very, very great veterans over
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the weekend while I was up in Oregon for a
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: couple of days. My good friend, Dave Case, proud Marine.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: Hoorah.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: And my brother served in the army, Rob. Casey, please
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: give Rob a hug today. That's my sister-in-law. Anyway, a
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: day to celebrate veterans and, you know, They keep us free.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: They do the important stuff and we appreciate it. Also
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: want to say sorry in advance. I'm pretty sure that
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I'm the one responsible for the rain that's coming. I
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: brought it with me from Oregon. It rained like the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: whole time. I went up to visit friends for the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: weekend and had a fabulous time. And yeah, it rained
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: pretty much the whole time. And now I return to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: 80 degree weather and find out that by the weekend
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: it's going to be raining.
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: So yeah.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: But that Oregon weather is just awesome, though. I like it. Oh,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: it was great.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: It was so different.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: It was great.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: It was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Here's what's ahead on Wake
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Up Call. Mayor-elect Nithya Raman has been welcomed at City
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Hall by members of the L.A. City Council. who presented
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: her with flowers and a certificate and pledged to work
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: with her after a campaign in which none of them
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: endorsed her over incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. Rahman says she's
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: grateful for the support and knows city council has a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: sincere commitment to working together for the betterment of the city.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Three people have been killed. Two others were critically hurt
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: when an SUV drove onto a sidewalk at Metro's North
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Hollywood station, plowed through barriers and crashed into a group
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of street vendors and pedestrians. The crash happened last night
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: at the corner of Lancashire and Chandler Boulevards. Skydance looking
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: to cut $ 6 billion in expenses after merging Paramount Operations
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: with Warner Brothers Discovery. The company is planning cuts across
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: corporate operations, marketing, technology, and procurement. That includes at least
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: $ 2. 2 billion in overhead savings. Workforce reductions are expected to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: be part of that, but how many jobs are going
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: to be cut is unclear. A couple of big things
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: have happened on the Hill. We've got Jim Jordan on
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: one side. The other side hasn't picked a leader yet.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: ABC's Stephen Porter is going to get us all caught up.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Plus an effort to take out Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: That's in a couple of minutes. A little bit later
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: on Wake Up Call, the days of bad cell service
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: may be over thanks to a new cell network switching service. Interesting. Also,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: your ring camera can now take off and search your
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: home when you're not there. KTLA's tech reporter Rich DeMuro
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: is going to tell us about the new low-flying gadget.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Amy's on it. It's about an old, long-lost friend. It's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: very sad and it's very tragic, but it's also really good.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you about that a little bit
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: later on Wake Up Call. Also, I flew in and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: out of the big, beautiful, shiny, new Hollywood Burbank Airport
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: for the first time.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: How'd you like it?
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: The experience left me feeling a little tarnished.
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: Uh-oh.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you about that and why. And I'm not happy.
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: Oh, no.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: And my pocketbook's a little lighter than it was when
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I left. Okay, let's get started with some of the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: Hey, call 911!
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Three people have been killed, two critically hurt when an
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: SUV crashed into a group of street vendors and pedestrians
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: during the metro station in North Hollywood. The fire department
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: says the three women killed last night were found to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: be beyond medical help. and were pronounced dead at the scene.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: This woman says she and others saw the crash.
• 4:34
  Speaker 8: We're all running over there, seeing if they're okay.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: And everybody's dead.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: It just happened so fast.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Police say the driver is a man in his 60s.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: He appeared to be in shock. He had to be
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: extricated from the vehicle but was not critically injured. Police
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: say they're working to figure out what caused the crash.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: A federal judge in L.A. has officially ended the Trump
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: administration's ballot segregation lawsuit against California. Judge David O. Carter
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: also condemned the government's attempt to force election officials to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: stop counting the mail ballots of thousands of people suspected
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: of not being citizens. The judge wrote in an order
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: issued yesterday, in his words, this lawsuit attempted to disrupt
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: an ongoing election and create confusion and uncertainty for voters
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: and election workers alike. The Justice Department filed notice on
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Friday of its intent to drop the case. Veterans Day
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: observances are set to be held today across Southern California.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: The San Fernando Valley Veterans Day Parade steps off at
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: 11 a.m. at the corner of Laurel Canyon Boulevard and
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: San Fernando Mission Boulevard and Mission Hills. And it proceeds
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: south on Laurel Canyon to Ritchie Valens Park. Pasadena's celebration
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: will recognize the 250th anniversary of American independence and the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: legacy of the armed forces. The program at Pasadena City
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Hall will run from 10 this morning until 1230. Let's
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: say good morning now to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. So, Stephen,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: a couple of big things happened on the Hill. We've
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: got Jim Jordan and an effort to take out the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: defense secretary. So let's hit them both.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: So the effort to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has
• 6:08
  Speaker 7: been put on the back burner, I suppose you might say,
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: for now. at least until Democrats take control in a
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: couple of months. Yesterday, the vote was 211 to 204,
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: a procedural vote to kick the articles of impeachment to committee.
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: Those articles of impeachment drafted by outgoing Kentucky Republican Congressman
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: Thomas Massey, he needed at least two of his Republican
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: colleagues to side with him.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: None did.
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: And so with the Democrats, there wasn't enough support to
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: keep that effort alive. The Republicans in mass, other than Massey,
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: voted to kick it to committee, and that's where it
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: will die through the end of this Congress. But we'll
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: see what happens in a couple of months because Democrats
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: are already vowing. I just watched an ad they cut.
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: They're vowing to pink slip Pete. They want to take
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: up these articles or a revision or another version of
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: the articles of impeachment early next year.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I would imagine there's going to be lots of attempts
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: at impeachments when the new Congress takes effect. So what
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: was the deal with with Massey? I mean, just sort
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: of a parting shot. I mean, he lost his primary.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: He's no longer going to be serving. And so it's
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: kind of a last hurrah for him.
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it seems that way. Look, at the end of
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: the day, Republican leaders were able to keep all their
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: other members in line, even dozens who aren't coming back
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: next year. either because they just lost reelection efforts to
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: Democrats or they've decided to retire or they may be
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: moving on to other roles in government at the state
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: or perhaps in the Senate. And so ultimately, you have
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: no movement forward now on Massey's articles. But we'll see
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: what happens going forward.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: And then with the new numbers, with the new breakdown,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and if I'm remembering what you told me correctly, which
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: is debatey, debatable that they need a majority in the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: house but they need a two-thirds majority in the senate
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to to convict after they.
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: Impeach that's that's right so um it it is a
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: high bar and you know it was unlikely even you
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: know next year it'll be unlikely that they can achieve
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: 67 votes in the senate to remove uh pete hegseth
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: or anyone else in the trump administration okay.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Well We'll see if they try. And then as far
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: as leadership goes, the Republicans are picking their new people.
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: Jim Jordan, the Ohio Republican congressman, the co-founder of the
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: Freedom Caucus, the current chair of the House Judiciary Committee,
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: is going to be the minority leader in the new Congress,
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: the leader on the floor for the House Republicans, the
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: pugnacious man who walks around the hallways of Capitol Hill
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: without a sport coat, just with his shirt sleeves and
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: a tie, known for you know, being a pretty effective
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: litigator in committee, pursuing lines of inquiry, should say he's
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: perhaps an effective interrogator more than litigator. But the whole
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: idea here is that he's seen as a symbol of
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: the fight that the Republicans are going to try to
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: put forward as they shrink to a minority that is
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: going to be quite small. In fact, the Republican, excuse me,
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: the Democratic majority in the new Congress is going to
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: be so large The Democrats have not had this number
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: since the early 1990s, since before the Republican Revolution of
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: 1994 and Newt Gingrich's rise. That's the last time Democrats
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: had these numbers on Capitol Hill. It really is going
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: to be a completely different picture in the Congress starting
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: in two months.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: And then next time we talk, maybe we'll talk about
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the Democrats because they haven't picked their leaders yet. They've
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: got to start thinking about it.
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: Could be some drama on the Senate side.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: We'll see.
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: But it looks like Hakeem Jeffries is the favorite, the
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: clear favorite, to be the first black Speaker of the House.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Awesome.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Stephen Portnoy, ABC. Thank you.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: You bet.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Officials at the U.S. mediated
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: talks between Russia and Ukraine today. say the two sides
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: have agreed on a large exchange of prisoners of war.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, calls it the biggest humanitarian
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: release of prisoners yet. He says the numbers are being finalized.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders says he will not back Chuck
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Schumer's effort to be the next Senate majority leader. That
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: may be the drama that Stephen Portnoy just referred to.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Sanders made the announcement at a news conference yesterday. He says,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: while no one works harder than Schumer, it's time for change.
• 10:31
  Speaker 9: If this campaign was about anything, it was about change
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: and the need for the Democratic Party, in my view,
• 10:38
  Speaker 9: to move in a new and bold direction.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen says he's listening to colleagues
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: about a potential run. Michigan Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed tells CNN
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: he would support Van Hollen to replace Schumer. In the House,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Congressman Hakeem Jeffries is also facing some opposition in his
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: bid to become the Speaker of the House. South Dakota
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Republican Senator John Thune will remain in leadership, but he's
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: going to go from majority to minority leader of the U.S.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Senate.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I think what I want to see us do is
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: come out of this knowing full well that we took
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: a big, you know, electoral defeat, but come out swinging.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Thune was voted in yesterday and becomes minority leader of
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the new Democrat-controlled Congress when it convenes January 3rd. Americans'
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: credit card debt has hit a new record high. ABC's
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Mike Dabusky says data from the New York Federal Reserve
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: shows in the third quarter, Americans held nearly $ 1. 3 trillion
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: in credit card debt.
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: When you factor in things like mortgage loans, car loans,
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: and student loans, overall household debt is also at a
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: new record, $ 19.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: 1 trillion.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Researchers found credit card delinquencies rose sharply between 2022 and 2024. However,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: late payments have improved slightly compared to last year. The
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Kennedy family has entered the legal fight over President Trump's
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: proposed triumphal arch, asking a federal court to stop the project.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: In court filings, the family said President Donald J. Trump
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: is attempting to unlawfully erect a massive arch that will
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: permanently cast shadows over and damage historically significant sight lines
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: to the existing grave sites and memorials established in the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Kennedy family's honor. at Arlington National Cemetery, as well as
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: to the memorials of hundreds of thousands of fallen American heroes.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Actor Stacey Keech has died. He was known for his
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: role as a private detective in the 1980s show Mickey
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Spillane's Mike Hammer. He later returned to the role in
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the new Mike Hammer and Mike Hammer Private Eye.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Very original names.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Keech won an Emmy nomination for playing Ernest Hemingway in
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the miniseries Hemingway. His film credits include Fat City, The
• 12:56

• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Keech was 85. When we come back, we're going to
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: find out about how drones are about to take flight
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: in your home. Thanks to Ring Cameras. We'll be talking
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: to our tech reporter, KTLA's Rich DeMuro. That's coming up next.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI AM640.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Happy Veterans Day and to all the veterans, thank you
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: for your service. Here's what we're following in the KFI
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: 24-hour newsroom. Smoke from a major commercial building fire in
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the central Alameda area of LA has led to a
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: pollution advisory for areas downwind. Air quality regulators say particle
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: pollution is being detected in a large area southwest of
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the fire at a hardwood flooring supply company that originally
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: broke out on Monday morning and then reignited overnight. Fire
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: officials are now saying it could take A week for
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: crews to fully put the fire out. Gas prices in L.A.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: County have dropped about 4 cents. It's the lowest price
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: we've seen since September 1st. It's still pretty high, $ 5. 75
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: a gallon. The average price has fallen 39 times in
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the last 41 days. The Orange County average price is
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: down to $ 5.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: 60 a gallon.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: The national average price dropped for the 18th straight day,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: falling 3.6 cents to $ 3. 94 a gallon. USC's Marshall School
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: of Business is launching an MBA course called The Business
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: of Beyonce. It examines how the popular superstar built an
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: entertainment and business empire. Her rise will also be compared
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: to other artists. It'll focus on branding, social media, music, celebrity,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: and business strategy, which she's all just really, really good at.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: And as part of the course, students apparently get to
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: pick which Beyonce song fits them best and then explain why. Okay.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: At 6.05, it's handle on the news. An effort to
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: oust Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has failed. Let's say good
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: morning now to the host of Rich on Tech on KFI.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: It's KTLA's tech reporter, Rich DiMuro.
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: Morning, Rich.
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: Good morning to you, Amy.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, so if this thing works, the days of bad
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: cell service may be gone.
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, this is really interesting. Google Fi, which is Google's
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: cellular service, it uses other networks. Typically, it's been T-Mobile
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: in the past. Well, now they are using two major networks.
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: They won't say which ones. I mean, they do say T-Mobile,
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: but they don't say the other one. Everyone's thinking it's Verizon.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: But basically, your phone will automatically switch between those two
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: different networks to find the best connection. Google's calling it
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: the super network. Now, I think this is such a
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: great idea. This was actually the original idea of Google
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: Fi when it first launched. Their idea was to have
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: all the networks on board. That didn't really come to fruition.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: So at this point, having T-Mobile and having a secondary
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: network is kind of a great idea because no matter
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: where you go, you're going to have a signal.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: At least that's the idea.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: It's limited right now to just certain Pixel phones, but
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: next year they're going to expand that reach.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: You mentioned that Google Fi uses the T-Mobile network. All
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: of the smaller companies use the big three networks. They
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: tap into them, right?
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly.
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: I mean, we only have three networks in America right now,
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: three major networks, I should say, because there's always someone
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: that says, Rich, what about this little tiny network?
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: But here's the thing. All of these networks, Amy, are
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: really kind of worried because Starlink, which has traditionally done
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: satellite in the past, You know, they have that high-speed internet.
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: They are going to expand into becoming a cellular carrier
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: sometime next year. So that is going to give them
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: a lot of competition because guess what? Day one, Starlink
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: is going to have coverage everywhere in the U.S. But,
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: you know, that's mostly outside. So they still have to
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: build all those towers to make sure they have signal inside.
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: But the point is there's going to be some competition finally.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, maybe my AT & T bill will finally come down.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Probably not.
• 17:07
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: This, here's something else that is new innovation, and that
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: is a Ring door camera, which so many of us
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: have now. But now it's going to take the next
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: step and it's going to launch a drone program in
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: your home.
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, this is just so wild. So we've been, Ring
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: has been talking about this for years. I saw this
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: at CES a couple of years ago, like an early
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: version of it. Now they're actually going to sell it.
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: It's called the Ring Drone Camera. This is a flying
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: security camera that can patrol inside your house. It's $ 250. Now,
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: the idea is that you don't want to put cameras
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: in every room of your house, or maybe you just
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: don't want to, you know, either don't want to for
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: privacy reasons or you don't want to for, you know,
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: price reasons, I guess. But this little drone can fly
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: around your entire home and check on different areas. It
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: can go upstairs. It can travel between rooms. It returns
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: to its charging dock when it's finished. It's basically like
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: a little security patrol for your house. And, you know,
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: if it hears a window open or some kind of disturbance,
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: it will fly to the rescue and, you know, that's it.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: Take video.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: OK, so it automatically does it. You don't have to
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: direct it.
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: Well, OK, so it's interesting you say that. So CBS
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: News did a story with it where they had a
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: feature where you could control it, like drive it around
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: your house and it crashed. So they said, OK, we're
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: not going to have that feature right now. Go back
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: to the drawing board on that one.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: OK, that's funny. This is something that I think. Everybody
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: should have because there's so much AI out there and
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: it's just so frustrating. I was just talking to a
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: friend about it. I'm like, I don't even go on
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: social media right now because it makes me so mad
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: because there's so much AI. I'm like, where's the real stuff?
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I want real stuff. And now there's a way you
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: can tell.
• 18:50
  Speaker 11: Oh, my gosh.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: I only I almost texted a picture to my wife
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: of Taylor Swift pregnant. And I was like, wait a second.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: I'm like, I haven't seen this reported anywhere else. So
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: I did like one quick search. It was like, that
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: picture is bogus. I was like, darn it. So anyway, yes,
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: it is a pain to figure out what's real, what's
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: not these days anymore. And this browser extension called Pangram
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: Feed Scanner, you basically install it in Chrome and then
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: you can right click on any image you see online
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: and it will scan it up and tell you if
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: it was generated by AI. You get about four free
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: images a day, so not a ton. You could pay
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: if you want more than that. Or if you wanted
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: to be back on social media, you could literally have
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: it where you pay, I mean, it's 20 bucks a month,
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: so it's kind of a lot. But while you're scrolling,
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: it will just literally scan every picture and label it,
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: which is pretty wild. Anyway, I linked this up on
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: my website, richontech.tv. Hit the star at the top if
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: you want it. I've got it installed on my browser
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: and I kind of love it because anytime you come
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: across something, you're like, wait a second, you just right
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: click it, say scan, and in a couple seconds, you'll know.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I like that idea a whole lot. And if you
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: would like to find out a lot more about tech stuff,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: you can find that information at richontech.tv because everything he
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: talks about, he puts... On his website. Also, you can
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: follow him at Rich on Tech. You can watch him
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: on KTLA all the time. He is their tech reporter.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: And you can listen to him right here on KFI
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: every Saturday from 11 to 2. Always so good and
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: so informational. Thank you, Rich.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: Thank you, Amy.
• 20:20
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Talk to you soon.
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: Bye-bye.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Estuardo Mazariegos has chipped away at Jose Ugarte's lead in
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the race for the L.A. City Council District 9 seat.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Still undecided. Ugarte is now leading by just 156 votes.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: County officials are estimating there are 37,500 outstanding votes in
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the county. It's not clear how many of them are
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: from the district. The seat has been held by Kieran Price,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: who has termed out. An L.A. City Council committee is
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: moving ahead with plans to put together a report on
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the feasibility of establishing a pilot program to allow street
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: safety advocates and volunteers to repaint crosswalks around the city.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: The motion was introduced last month by Councilwoman Katie Yarovslovsky
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: and Eunice Hernandez. They say pedestrian safety is a major
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: concern and clearly visible sidewalks are particularly important in a
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: lot of places. The motion now heads to the City
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Council for consideration. Officials in Orange County are suing the
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Teamsters representing Waste and Public Works employees who are picketing
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: at three county landfills. Officials say the workers are blocking
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: two of the sites. Teamsters local 952 spokesperson Eric Jimenez
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: tell KTLA what the county is doing amounts to an
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: attack on their members' constitutional rights. There hasn't been one member,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: one union representative that has been cited for unlawful picketing.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Orange County Board Chairman Doug Chafee says they shouldn't be
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: blocking anything because that's a health hazard. A traffic nightmare
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: between Anaheim Hills and Corona apparently will not be repeated
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: this weekend.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: Caltrans says it finished its $ 6 million project on the
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: 91 freeway ahead of schedule. The closure began Friday night
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: for the eastbound 91, putting drivers bumper to bumper and
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: turning a one-hour drive into seven hours for many people.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: The construction was to improve a wildlife crossing and replace
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: a culvert to help water drain underneath the 91. The
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: backup also made side streets and neighborhoods miserable as people
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: tried to bypass the freeway. Caltrans posted online saying, good news,
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: there will be no second 55-hour weekend closure from 1113
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: to 1116. Michael Crozier, KFI News.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: A couple of minutes ago, we mentioned the new, the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: business of Beyonce. Course being offered at USC's Marshall School
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: of Business. It's an MBA course. Well, if you're good
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: with a joystick, a new degree at Fullerton College might
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: be just for you.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Droning in college usually involves the lecture students have to
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: listen to, but the West Coast's first four-year BS in
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: drone technology comes amid growing demand for unmanned systems and
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: aerospace and defense.
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: It trains everything from operating to what to do with
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: the data, what kind of data to collect. whether it's
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: thermal or LIDAR or multispectral for vegetation. It's a very
• 23:07
  Speaker 10: hands-on program.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: Professor Jay Seidel, director of the college's drone lab, says
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: drivers of the trend range from Ukraine's use of drones
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: against Russia to Amazon package delivery. Find out more at drones.fullcall.edu.

  Speaker 3: Mark Rauner, KFI News.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: When we come back, I traveled through the big, beautiful, shiny,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: new Burbank Hollywood Airport this weekend. Spare no expense. They
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: spared no expense. And guess what? You're paying for it.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: That's coming up next.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: AM 640.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: It's Veterans Day. Thank you, veterans. We appreciate you. Be
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: sure to give a veteran a hug today. But ask
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: first because some people don't like to be hugged and
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: then that can be inappropriate.
• 23:52
  Speaker 8: Whatever.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Why are you touching me?
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Here's what we're following in the KFI 24-hour newsroom. A
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: popular social media personality remains in ICE custody. Farzad Tony Tutuni,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: who has more than a million Instagram followers, was arrested
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: by ICE in L.A. back on October 27th. He's accused
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: of being here illegally and apparently has an extensive criminal background,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: including forgery, kidnapping, robbery, and extortion. ICE says Tutuni... came
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: to the U.S. legally back in 1983. He was deported
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: to Mexico and he allegedly came back to the U.S.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: illegally in 2011. And L.A. City Council committees approved a
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: proposal to expand public restrooms, hand-washing stations, and drinking water
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: access in L.A. with an initial focus on Skid Row.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Council members Nithya Raman and Isabel Gerardo say the city
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: lacks adequate public sanitation facilities, especially for homeless people. The
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: proposal now heads to the full city council for consideration.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Former California Angels catcher Bob Boone has died. Boone played
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: seven seasons in Anaheim, helping the Angels win two division
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: titles in the 80s. He also won a World Series
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1980 and later managed the
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Kansas City Royals. And Cincinnati Reds' Bob Boone was 78. Okay,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: so I got to go up to Oregon, see some
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: friends this weekend. Had a wonderful time. And as I
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, I'm sorry I'm bringing the rain back with me.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Because it rained the whole time I was there. But
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: oh my goodness, it's beautiful up there. And speaking of beautiful,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: I got to fly through the big, beautiful, shiny, new
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Hollywood Burbank Airport, which has been all the hubbub and...
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: grand openings and uh i left a little early because
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: there's a new entrance which is sort of weird but
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: it was fine because i just put it into ways
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: and so it got me right there um and i
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: will tell you there it is big and beautiful but
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: i have a couple of issues with this new airport
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: okay so i pull into the new parking structure it's
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: a big one too it's like six stories tall New
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: parking structure. And a lot of times if it's going
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: to be just a short trip, I'll valet because it's
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: easier than they get your car. And after you're done,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: you get back from your trip and they just have
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: your car for you. Lovely, right? And I'm about to
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: pull into the valet lane and I see the sign
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: that says $ 59 a day. So at the old airport,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I think two or three years ago, it was like
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: $ 25 a day. And then it went up. And then
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: it went up again. And then I think the last
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: time I flew out of the old terminal, it was
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: like $ 40. But again, it was a quick trip. And
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: so I thought, okay, fine.
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: $ 59 a day.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: So I veered over and went into the parking garage.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: And that's all good. But hold on.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: There's more.
• 26:34
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: So and then we get into the terminal.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: It's lovely.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: It's brand new. Security's nice. Everything's shiny and new. The
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: workers all seem happy to have new digs and all that.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: And I had about an hour until my flight. Well,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: there's only one restaurant. It's a bar area. And it's
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: right smack dab in the middle. So if you walk in,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: it's 14 gates. They're all lined up. So the ones
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: to the left are Southwest. The ones to the right
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: are Alaska and other ones.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: So it's still 14 gates. And there's this one big
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: bar area in the middle.
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: It's full.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: There's not enough room. There's not enough seating. And the
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: airport wasn't really very busy. I'm like, somebody didn't plan
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: this out very well.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought that was the whole thing, was they
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: were going to put in all these restaurants where you
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: could eat.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I think some more restaurants are coming. I did see
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: some signs up, but right now they don't have enough. Also,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: the food, they have a Paquito Mas there.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, yum.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, yum, right? 25 bucks for a burrito. More than 100%
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: more than outside the airport.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: That's ridiculous.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I hate that. I get that the airport costs a
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: little bit more. But $ 25, you can get a bean
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: and cheese burrito for $ 11. 95 at Paquito Mas, but there
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: it's $ 24.
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: 95.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Come on, Burbank Airport.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Don't be LAX.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Don't be LAX. Okay, so then I return. I go
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: to pay my parking. Wasn't $ 59 a day for the
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: parking structure, $ 49 a day for the parking structure. So
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: $ 210 for parking. I just thought, I get that it's
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: new and you got to pay for it, but this
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: is stupid. And then the other thing is when we landed,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: they've got this big, beautiful lighted sign that says Hollywood
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Burbank Airport. Well, it's half out. And the airport's been
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: open less than a month. So come on, Hollywood, do better.
• 28:29
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Let's see if things are getting better, you know, on
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Wall Street and in business world. Because we're getting in
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: your business with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini. Oh, and things are
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: looking a little better if you're looking to get a mortgage. Yeah,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: mortgage rates, they declined for a fourth straight week. That
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: boost home purchase applications by the most since mid-April gives
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: kind of a tiny spark to the deflated housing market.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: So where are mortgage rates? The contract rate on a
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: 30-year fixed mortgage fell nine basis points. So now we're
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: at 7.21%, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. That's kind
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: of not great, though, if you're hoping to buy a place.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, and that's after four weeks of decline. So,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: you know, eventually... If they keep going down, they could
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: get there. But anything over 7% or even over 6%
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: is pretty tough for a lot of homebuyers. Yes, but historically,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: it's still pretty decent.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: It is, but historically, home prices have never been this high, basically.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: That's true, too. Okay, so apparently people have been job hunting,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: or not hunting, job hopping, and that might not be
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: such a good idea.
• 29:38
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, you hear this all the time. Don't stay
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: in your job more than three years. I mean, this
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: is especially a millennial and a Gen Z thing. You know,
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: you're not going to get promoted. So the only way
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: to get a promotion is to make a lateral move
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: to another company with better pay and work your way
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: up that way. I know a lot of people who
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: do this and who say, you know, if you're there
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: more than three years, forget about it. It means you're
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: not hireable by someone else, and then you get stuck,
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: and you'll never get a big raise. But someone at
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: the Wall Street Journal took a look at a whole
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: bunch of studies and said employees who stay put likely
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: win faster promotions and more pay than switchers. They attribute
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: this to what they call insider advantage, which gives you
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: a better chance of career success in a whole bunch
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: of measures, promotion, performance, pay. even happiness with one study
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: of employees showing that employees were almost six times more likely, Amy,
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: to get a good promotion internally than if they job hopped.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: For one thing, it takes a long time just to
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: figure out You know, who's really in charge, how to
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: press your boss's buttons and manipulate things in your favor.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: And also, you know, the longer you're somewhere, the longer
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: you have to kind of figure out where you want
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: to be in that organization. Of course, it helps to
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: work for a company in a growing industry and also
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: at a company that prioritizes growth of its employees. If
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: you don't have those two, you probably should job hop.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Something to remember. Okay, and everything costs a lot right now.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: We all know that, but apparently we don't care when
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: it comes to big, bright-colored, sweetened drinks.
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: Alcohol is falling out of favor. I'm laughing here because
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: I love the pictures that come with this Bloomberg story.
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: It has this kaleidoscope beverage, and it calls it that.
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: As alcohol falls out of favor for being unhealthy, consumers, us,
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: spent about $ 55 billion dollars amy on beverage only visits
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: to quick service restaurants in the 12 months ending in
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: august that's 5.1 percent more than the previous year with
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: young people especially just streaming in for afternoon pick-me-ups uh
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: i was thinking sonic drive-in they kind of began it
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: with the line of sodas with coconut sweet cream and
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: lime Soda with cream, right? That was 2024. Then the
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: sparkling sugar cookie Dr.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: Pepper.
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: Then Wendy's had those sparkling energy drinks and a chocolate
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: cold foam brew. That sounds good. Starbucks, of course, is
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: in on this.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: McDonald's.
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: Dunkin' has those Technicolor refreshers with protein in them. They
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: charge a huge amount of money for these drinks. People
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: love taking pictures of them and then downing them. Just
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: think how expensive they'd be if they were at the
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: Burbank airport.
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Okay. Getting in your business as we do each weekday
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: morning with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini. Thanks, Denise. We'll talk to
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: you tomorrow.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: I love you, Amy.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: Talk to you tomorrow.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: When we come back, Amy's on it. It's about an old,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: long-lost friend. It is sad. It is tragic. But it's
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: also really good. That's coming up next.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI AM640.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Veterans Day. So be sure you thank any veterans in
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: your life today for their service. We celebrate you. We
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: thank you. Freedom isn't free. We know that. And we
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: appreciate you. We were talking about the beautiful, big Burbank
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Hollywood airport that left me a little bit tarnished because
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: the prices are so stupid high. $ 49 to park in
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: the structure, $ 59 a day for the valet. But, of course,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: wake-up call listeners can weigh in on the talkback anytime
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: with ideas.
• 33:17
  Speaker 12: Amy, on parking at an airport, next time check out
• 33:22
  Speaker 12: Snagaspace or Cheapo Air. You are parking at a hotel
• 33:27
  Speaker 12: and they will shuttle you right to the airport. I
• 33:30
  Speaker 12: used it a lot when I lived in Orange County.
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: And you will be paying a lot less money.
• 33:38
  Speaker 12: And I love listening to you all the way from
• 33:40
  Speaker 12: North Carolina.
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: Thank you. Bye.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: I love that idea. So snag a space or cheapo air.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Or this might work too.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: Neil should have taken you, Amy, and picked you up.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: Or maybe Bill, perhaps. That would have been even better.
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: Good luck, though.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: I feel your pain.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: You know, funny thing, neither Bill nor Neil offered to
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: give me a ride to or from the airport. Here's
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: what we're following in the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: The L.A.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Board of Police Commissioners has previewed the police department's proposed
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: budget request, $ 235. 74 million for the upcoming 2027-28 fiscal year.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: During the commissioners meeting yesterday, LAPD officials presented the board
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: with an overview of the funding request to cover overtime,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Olympics related staffing and expenses, technology and the replacement of
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: aging cars, trucks, SUVs and helicopters. Rents in the Inland
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Empire expected to rise faster than any other area in
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Southern California through 2029 because of a slowdown in construction.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: A USC economics forecast projects average rent growth of 2.4
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: percent in the IE for the next three years. which
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: is the highest of the five markets studied. The Inland
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Empire's average rent was $ 21. 50 in June. It's the lowest
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: among the markets studied. It's projected to hit $ 23. 09 by
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: June of 2029. The Bay Theater at Palisades Village is
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: scheduled to reopen this Friday for the first time since

  Speaker 1: the January 2025 wildfires. Movie tickets are already on sale
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: for the long-awaited reopening. The theater is expected to offer
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: first-run movies, classic films, special screenings, and other programming. Hey,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: we're just minutes away from handle on the news efforts
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: to oust Pete Hegseth from his office at the Defense Department.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Not successful. Bill's going to have just a few things
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: to say about that, I would imagine. Amy's on it.
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: Amy's on it.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Amy's on it.
• 35:41
  Speaker 13: Amy's on it.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: What am I on? I'm on the stream because there
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: is so much to watch. In fact, I've got sort
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: of a backlog right now making my way through lots
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: of shows. And this one just dropped and I wanted
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: to tell you about it because it's still sort of
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: a shock that Matthew Perry died. And it was three
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: years ago, but it's still in the news because now
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: the trials are playing out and everybody involved pretty much
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: has pleaded guilty. But the story, it's called The One
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: About Matthew Perry, Netflix, because remember all the Friends episodes
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: was The One About Rachel, The One About the Missed
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Coffee Cup or whatever. So this is The One About
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Matthew Perry. It's a documentary. It's three episodes. It's his
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: story told by Matthew's friends and family and then sometimes
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: by Matthew himself. And part of it is so fun
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: to take a look back and see how Matthew Perry
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: became a star. and the origin of Friends, and before
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: how he got into acting and his first gigs. I
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: always love to see those kinds of things. The first
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: episode is all about the ramp up to the rise
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: to fame. So it's a much happier episode than the others.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: We all know this is going to happen. So the
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: next episode is about the fall. And all of this
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: is happening while Friends is going on. And I don't
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: think a lot of us knew about it. I remember
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: when Matthew Perry came back one year and they go,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, he's so skinny. What happened? And then
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: the next year he came back and he put a
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: bunch of weight off or put about a bunch of
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: weight back on. Everybody's like, oh, my gosh, he looks
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: so fat. What happened? All this is going on with
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: the addictions during this whole period in his life. And
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: you learn about his fears and his insecurities and how
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: his friends saw what was happening and how people turned
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: a blind eye to it. And for those who didn't,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: you know, there were consequences. So through it all, there's
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: this sense of sadness because you know how the story ends.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: But there's also hope in there because it didn't seem
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: like Matthew Perry was in total denial about his issues.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: You feel like he did know about it and he
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: acknowledged it and he did want to kick it. But
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: this all plays into his insecurities. And like so many
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: of us that, you know, that he wasn't enough. Super interesting.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: And we kind of all have this insane desire to
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: know about the lives of these people who play these roles.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: But we still idolize and adore him. And it makes
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: it even more sad to see someone who seemed like
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: he was such a really great guy and kind of
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: had things together. and then to see how his life
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: fell apart. So there's happiness in this one, there's sadness,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: and it's all wrapped up in three episodes that ends
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: with the loss of a life, the loss of one
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: of our friends.
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: I'm on it.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: It's good. I think you should be on it too. Again,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: it's called The One About Matthew Perry, and it's on Netflix.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Governor Newsom's still getting pushback on his decision to commute
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: all of California's death row sentences to life sentences without parole.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Former California Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero tells KFI's John Kobelt,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Newsom has ignored the California Constitution.
• 38:38
  Speaker 8: This is about his seeing the Democrats going far socialist,
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: and the governor has delusional presidential aspirations of grandeur.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Romero says under the Constitution, Newsom was supposed to get
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: approval of at least four justices at the California Supreme Court.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: California's economy is now worth over $ 4.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: 5 trillion.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: That keeps.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: California is the world's fourth largest economy.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: Governor Newsom says the state raised nearly $ 8 billion more
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: in revenue than expected since April.
• 39:08
  Speaker 13: California, since 2019, has become the top-performing economy of any
• 39:12
  Speaker 13: state and any developed nation. We've grown some 40-plus percent
• 39:16
  Speaker 13: since 2019, faster than China and faster than Germany.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: The state added over 129,000 jobs the past year, with
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: wages about 20% higher than the national average. Its $ 366
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: billion in venture capital is three times more than the
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: rest of the country, and it's got more than half
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: of all U.S. billion-dollar startups. Mark Rahner, KFI News.
• 39:35
