  Speaker 2: KFI and KOSTHD2, Los Angeles, Orange County. It's time for
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: It's 5 o'clock, straight up. This is your wake-up call
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: for Monday, September 14th. I'm Amy King. We're live everywhere
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. Hope you had a fabulous weekend.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: So much to tell you. First, when I was driving
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: home on Friday, 9-11, there was an American flag hanging
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: off the overpass on the 5. It kind of warmed
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: my heart. We see a lot of protest signs. You
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: don't see a lot of American flags. You do in
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: some areas. Not in Los Angeles. Never forget. Not just
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: on 9-11.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: But always.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: It's just nice to see.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Also, went to the L.A.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Wine Festival over the weekend. If you remember, we gave
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: away some tickets to that event, so we got to go, too.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I hope our winners had as much fun as I did.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: That was a great event. It was at the... Equestrian
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Center in Burbank. And it was hot, but there was
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of shade and it was on a grassy
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: area and there's all kinds of booths and got a
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: little Christmas shopping done. The wine was delicious. If you
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: missed it this year, you gotta go next year. Really
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon. And it is
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Halloween time at Disneyland. We got to go on Saturday.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I love Disneyland at Halloween time. I mean, I love
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Disneyland all the time, but at Halloween with the big
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: pumpkin and the orange decorations... And then over at DCA,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: it's all purple decorations. And their fireworks show is really great.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: They call it a fireworks spectacular.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: It really is.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: It was really fun. And they do this really cool
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: thing on the, if you haven't seen the Disneyland fireworks,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: they do projections on the castle right there on Main Street.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: And it's really impressive. The technology they have and how
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: clear the pictures are and how everything follows along. With
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the theme, it's just amazing. So if you haven't had
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: a chance to go to Halloween time at Disneyland, I
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: highly recommend it. Lots of fun. Here's what's ahead on

  Speaker 1: We're going to be talking with ABC's Jordana Miller in
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Jerusalem to talk about the new choke point that could
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: restrict oil shipments even more. As gas prices go up,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: people are looking for alternatives. ABC's tech reporter Mike Dubosky
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: joins us to tell us what Americans are looking at now.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Real-world worries about AI have even its creators saying, you
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: know what, maybe we need to slow this down a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: little bit. ABC's Jim Ryan is going to join us
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to tell us about how tech owners are defying the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: president on AI advancement. All right, let's get started with
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: some of the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: A firefighter and six others have been hurt in a crash.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: involving an LA City Fire ladder truck that was responding
• 4:08

• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Three cars were involved. The injured were taken to area hospitals.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: LAPD is trying to figure out who's to blame on
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: this one. Police in LA have stopped another street Takeover,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: this one didn't involve cars.
• 4:30

• 4:39
  Speaker 7: LAPD Deputy Chief German Hurtado tells KTLA it was a
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: planned takedown.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: We were following this group until we got them into
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: a position where we could safely stop them all, take
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: them into custody and impound the minibikes.
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: The Operation Sunday was part of a recent effort by
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: the LAPD to stop these takeovers, which usually involve cars
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: doing donuts at intersections, and have become a big problem
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: in L.A. and around the country. Jason Ethanson, KFI News.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: L.A.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Clippers owner Steve Ballmer says he's not going to fight
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the NBA's punishment for going around salary caps. The league
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: suspended Ballmer for a year, fined the team $ 30 million,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and forced it to forfeit five first-round draft picks. Ballmer
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: said in a statement posted online last night that the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: team would comply with the penalties handed down by the league.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: He says they've already paid the fine. HBO's Emergency Room Saga,

• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Emmys will air live on NBC and Peacock from the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Peacock Theater at LA Live in downtown LA tonight. Time
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: to say good morning to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. So, Jordana,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: a new flashpoint in the Middle East, maybe Yemen, where
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have threatened to choke off another way
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: for oil to get out of the area. What is
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the latest?
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: That's right, Amy. This is the offensive, lightning offensive that
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: the Houthis have been carrying out over the last several days.
• 6:23
  Speaker 8: As you said, the Houthis are a rebel group backed
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: by Iran based in Yemen. And they have come down
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: to the coast where they already control hundreds of miles
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: of the coast there on the Red Sea, but they've
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: moved further. to try to get a handle and control
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. Now, this is the other
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: critical waterway. It accounts for about 10% of the global
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: oil market, the passage from the Red Sea out to
• 6:58
  Speaker 8: the rest of the world. And the Houthis, two days ago,
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: came down and took Mocha, a city right next to
• 7:08
  Speaker 8: the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. They took a few islands in
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: the area. For a short while, they were claiming that
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: they actually were in control of the strait. Today, we're
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: hearing reports of that they've been pushed back. But this
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: appears to be Iran's efforts to turn on, if you will,
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: its proxy, in its war against the U.S. and Israel
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: and the West and get its proxy in control of
• 7:35
  Speaker 8: the Bab el-Mandeb Strait with the option, if there's more war,
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: to close that strait and further choke the global oil
• 7:44
  Speaker 8: market or even do it before another phase of the
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: war as a pressure point. This is a really critical development.
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: And the Houthis, in the last three years, they kind
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: of have fallen under the radar. But just as a
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: reminder to our listeners, the Houthis were involved during the
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: Gaza war. They were firing on southern Israel. They were
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: firing on central Israel. One of their ballistic missiles hit
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: near the Tel Aviv-Ben Gurion International Airport. They continued during
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: Operation Houthi. Epic theory, they moved and were on hold,
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: I would say. And now it looks like Iran has
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: turned them on again. So this is a really important development.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: OK, Jordana, how many are there? Because you think of
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: a rebel group, you think of it's a smaller group.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Are we talking about hundreds or thousands or tens of thousands?
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: We're talking about tens of thousands of troops that are
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: part of this rebel group, not a small number. And
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: they've been armed, funded by Iran. And they say, no,
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: we're so large, we make our own decisions.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 9:01
  Speaker 8: But this is a rebel group that does take much
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: of its its orders from Iran and And they have
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: taken over part of the capital in Yemen, Sanaa. And
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: they control, for example, an important port, Hodeidah. And they've
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: been involved in a years-long civil war in Yemen against
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: the official Yemeni government, which was backed by the Saudis
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: in the West. And their involvement in the last couple
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: of years broke a kind of ceasefire that had been brokered.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Well, we will be watching that. I'm looking at a
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: map right now because I'm like, OK, where's the Red Sea?
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Where's the Bab al-Mandeb Strait?
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: So it's... Mandeb Strait.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's... There's the Persian Gulf to the north
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: of Saudi Arabia. And then on the other side of
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia to the southwest is where the Red Sea is.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: And then the strait, it appears, is just is south
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: of that. And they all feed out into the ocean there. OK,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: so we'll watch that. Looks like another choke point. We'll
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: pay attention. Thank you so much for the information and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the update, Jordana.
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah, talk soon.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: All right. Talk to you soon. Let's get back to
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: some of the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: President Trump blames Ukraine for the higher cost of diesel fuel.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: He says Ukrainian President Zelensky needs to do one thing.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia.
• 10:26
  Speaker 9: Let him go after targets, but not diesel fuel, because
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: he's causing a shortage of diesel.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Ukraine has been hitting Russian refineries for months, and Russia
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: has banned diesel exports. President Trump says the federal government
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: can afford to give away, give every adult American citizen
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: a $ 5, 000 dividend if Republicans keep control of Congress in November.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Trump says the government is taking in enough money to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: easily cover it, but he hasn't detailed how the dividends
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: would be funded. House Speaker Mike Johnson told CNN the
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: proposal is a creative idea, as he put it.
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: He launched it at our convention and got a lot
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: of people excited.
• 11:04
  Speaker 9: Of course, devil's in the details.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: We have to figure all that out.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has said the dividends would not
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: come from tax money. OpenAI will not be going public
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: this year as the company focuses on AI safety. CEO
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Sam Altman told Fortune that an initial public offering right
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: now would be ill-advised, citing work still needed on safety
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: and alignment on how the AI industry and governments should
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: work together. The delay comes amid growing warnings about the
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: rapid pace of AI development. Kennedy Center officials say the
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: performing arts complex could close as early as tomorrow because
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: of serious financial trouble.
• 11:44
  Speaker 10: The Washington Post reports the center's board is considering a
• 11:47
  Speaker 10: shutdown after warning that keeping the main building open could
• 11:50
  Speaker 10: pose safety risks following a recent ceiling collapse. The board
• 11:54
  Speaker 10: says the center is facing possible bankruptcy and needs additional
• 11:56
  Speaker 10: funding to stay open. They also argue that adding President
• 12:00
  Speaker 10: Trump's name to the facade may be the only way
• 12:02
  Speaker 10: to avoid financial ruin. Tammy Trujillo, KFI News.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Researchers have warned the public of a rare but possibly
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: life-threatening brain disorder that could be tied to GLP-1 weight
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: loss drugs.
• 12:15
  Speaker 9: A new study published in Clinical Nutrition identified 15 reported
• 12:19
  Speaker 9: cases of a neurological disorder caused by severe vitamin B1
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: deficiency in people taking GLP-1 drugs. Most of the cases
• 12:27
  Speaker 9: involved semaglutide sold under the brand names Ozempic and Wegovy
• 12:32
  Speaker 9: Or Terzepatide, sold as Mongero and Zepbound. The researchers stressed
• 12:36
  Speaker 9: that the study cannot prove the medications caused the condition.
• 12:40
  Speaker 9: Scott Carr, KFI News.
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: I'm going to Atlanta just.
• 12:45
  Speaker 9: To look around.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: New Dolly Parton music is coming out weeks after her death.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Bound to Ride is featured on the upcoming Stanley Brothers
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: tribute album, Where the Soul Never Dies, celebrating 80 years
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: of the Stanley Brothers. Parton recorded her vocals in 2022.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: The album will be released October 16th. It also features
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Willie Nelson, Dierks Bentley and others. And the Nashville airport
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: authorities voted unanimously to rename the Nashville airport in honor
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: of Dolly Parton. The process is going to take at
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: least a year before it's finalized. And when it happens,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: the Nashville airport will be the first of the 50
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: major airports in the U.S. to be named after a woman.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: A person has been stopped as she tried to trespass
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: on former Vice President Kamala Harris's property in Malibu. The
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: woman was stopped by security on Friday. Officials say she
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: agreed to leave on her own and was not arrested.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, were not home at
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the time. Schools and law enforcement agencies across the U.S.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: have warned about a viral cat-in-the-hat social media trend. It's
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: led to threats against students and schools. The trend features
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: disturbing or AI-generated images of the Dr. Seuss characters. Some
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: schools have increased police presence around the campuses as a precaution.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Authorities are warning that even threats intended as jokes can
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: have criminal consequences. More than six dozen earthquakes have rumbled
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: under Los Angeles over the weekend. The U.S. Geological Survey
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: says the quakes hit between Friday and Saturday afternoon. The
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: largest was just a magnitude 2.5, so probably less. Didn't
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: even feel a lot of them. Experts say earthquake swarms
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: should be watched, but do not necessarily mean a larger
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: quake is coming. Let's say good morning now to ABC's
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Mike Dabusky. Mike, gas prices in California, well over $ 6
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: a gallon on average, with no quick fix in sight.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: More people are taking another look at EVs, huh?
• 14:48
  Speaker 11: It seems that way, yeah. So as we know, gas
• 14:50
  Speaker 11: prices are really high right now, sitting around $ 4. 30 a
• 14:53
  Speaker 11: gallon on average, according to GasBuddy.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: That's in the U.S., Mike. It's over $ 6 in Southern California.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 15:00
  Speaker 12: I hear you.
• 15:02
  Speaker 11: But regardless of where you live, gas prices are really
• 15:06
  Speaker 11: elevated at this point, it seems like, driven in large
• 15:08
  Speaker 11: part by the war in Iran. which President Trump said
• 15:11
  Speaker 11: over the weekend will likely last through the midterms. Many
• 15:14
  Speaker 11: analysts expected to go on for longer than that, meaning
• 15:16
  Speaker 11: that the prices that we're seeing now are likely to
• 15:19
  Speaker 11: stick around for at least the immediate future.
• 15:21
  Speaker 12: And that means that.
• 15:22
  Speaker 11: More people are at least considering electric vehicles, with 56
• 15:27
  Speaker 11: percent of them saying that increased fuel costs. have increased
• 15:31
  Speaker 11: their interest in EVs in the new car buying process.
• 15:34
  Speaker 11: That's according to a new study from HERE Technologies and
• 15:37
  Speaker 11: SBD Automotive, which puts out this report that gauges EV
• 15:41
  Speaker 11: interest around this time every year. Of course, this is
• 15:44
  Speaker 11: also notable because it was around this time last year
• 15:47
  Speaker 11: that the EV tax credit expired. That was a long-running
• 15:50
  Speaker 11: federal program that gave you up to $ 7, 500 back on
• 15:55
  Speaker 11: your taxes if you purchased an EV, kind of erased taxes.
• 15:59
  Speaker 11: some of the additional costs that an electric vehicle commanded
• 16:03
  Speaker 11: at the dealership. That going away caused many to speculate
• 16:06
  Speaker 11: that EV sales would be pretty dismal in 2026, and
• 16:09
  Speaker 11: that definitely did happen. New EV sales down about 20%
• 16:13
  Speaker 11: from where they were a year ago. However, this study
• 16:16
  Speaker 11: is one indication that the pressure at the pump is
• 16:18
  Speaker 11: causing people to, again, at least consider, if not necessarily
• 16:21
  Speaker 11: go out and buy, something that is a little bit greener.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm curious because you were talking about the
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: tax credits. But gas prices were also down. So I'm
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: wondering if people, when gas prices went down, if that
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: also decreased the interest in the electric vehicles.
• 16:42
  Speaker 11: That's not something that this study dives into. But you
• 16:44
  Speaker 11: can imagine that, you know, yeah, sure. The fluctuations in
• 16:47
  Speaker 11: gas prices are impacting how people are considering electric vehicles
• 16:51
  Speaker 11: versus not considering electric vehicles. However, it's also worth mentioning
• 16:55
  Speaker 11: here that the people who go EV, right, like let's
• 16:58
  Speaker 11: say there's an extended period of time of high gas prices,
• 17:01
  Speaker 11: which it seems like we're kind of looking down the
• 17:03
  Speaker 11: barrel of right now. People who buy electric vehicles generally
• 17:06
  Speaker 11: continue to buy them. According to this study, 77 percent
• 17:09
  Speaker 11: of people who are EV owners say they'll likely replace
• 17:12
  Speaker 11: their car with another electric vehicle when the time comes.
• 17:16
  Speaker 11: That is a reiteration of something that we have actually
• 17:18
  Speaker 11: known for a while in the EV space is that
• 17:20
  Speaker 11: people like them when they when they buy them. So
• 17:22
  Speaker 11: that is something to keep in mind as these fluctuations
• 17:25
  Speaker 11: continue and as more people kind of dip their toe
• 17:27
  Speaker 11: into that space. Generally speaking, they're going to continue to
• 17:31
  Speaker 11: swim in that pond if that is the direction that
• 17:33
  Speaker 11: they go. Some other interesting, notable things from this study
• 17:37
  Speaker 11: is that used electric vehicles are going in the opposite
• 17:39
  Speaker 11: direction of new electric vehicles. The sales of those are
• 17:42
  Speaker 11: actually going up pretty dramatically. about 30% increase in the
• 17:47
  Speaker 11: sales of used electric vehicles from where they were in 2025.
• 17:49
  Speaker 11: Of course, we know depreciation is a big thing in
• 17:53
  Speaker 11: the EV market with the average cost of a used
• 17:55
  Speaker 11: electric vehicle hovering around $ 37, 000. The average new car electric
• 18:00
  Speaker 11: vehicle is over $ 50, 000. In fact, $ 50, 000 is generally what
• 18:05
  Speaker 11: you're going to be spending on average for a new
• 18:07
  Speaker 11: vehicle of any kind, gas or electric. So You know,
• 18:10
  Speaker 11: there are some deals out there. Of course, there were
• 18:11
  Speaker 11: many attractive lease deals about three, four years ago for
• 18:14
  Speaker 11: EVs just to kind of get people in the door,
• 18:16
  Speaker 11: get people talking about the vehicles, trying out the vehicles.
• 18:19
  Speaker 11: Those vehicles are coming off lease with not a ton
• 18:21
  Speaker 11: of miles. They're still relatively new cars. And it seems
• 18:25
  Speaker 11: that they are pretty attractive to used car buyers. So
• 18:27
  Speaker 11: if you are thinking about electric vehicles, the used space
• 18:31
  Speaker 11: might just be a way to kind of save some cash,
• 18:34
  Speaker 11: you know, if you are thinking about going in that direction.
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: OK.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: And then you said that the EVs are averaging about 50,000.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: But if you want to invest a little bit more,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk has a new car coming out.
• 18:48
  Speaker 12: Yeah, it seems that way.
• 18:49
  Speaker 11: So Tesla announced that on October 1st, it's going to
• 18:51
  Speaker 11: hold an event. On the ad for this event, there
• 18:54
  Speaker 11: is a picture of something that looks like a cross
• 18:56
  Speaker 11: between a sports car and a rocket ship. This is
• 18:59
  Speaker 11: an event where we're likely going to get more information
• 19:01
  Speaker 11: on a car that Tesla first promised about a decade ago.
• 19:04
  Speaker 11: This is the Roadster that we're talking about here, an
• 19:07
  Speaker 11: electric sports car that in 2017 he claimed would be
• 19:11
  Speaker 11: capable of zero to 60 in less than one second,
• 19:14
  Speaker 11: which is kind of unprecedented in the new car space.
• 19:17
  Speaker 11: This is designed to be like a halo car, like
• 19:19
  Speaker 11: a supercar that kind of gets people in the dealership,
• 19:22
  Speaker 11: not necessarily a mass market vehicle. It's kind of a
• 19:24
  Speaker 11: niche thing, but, you know, something that they can wear
• 19:27
  Speaker 11: is like a feather in their cap. Elon Musk says
• 19:29
  Speaker 11: this car was co-developed with SpaceX, no less. And a
• 19:32
  Speaker 11: few weeks ago, the information reported that there will actually
• 19:35
  Speaker 11: be two versions of this roadster available. a road going
• 19:39
  Speaker 11: car and a limited edition model that flies. We don't
• 19:43
  Speaker 11: know any details beyond that, how any of that is
• 19:45
  Speaker 11: going to work, whether it's legal or not. Of course,
• 19:48
  Speaker 11: Elon Musk is no stranger to making big promises and
• 19:50
  Speaker 11: then not delivering on them as well. But still something
• 19:53
  Speaker 11: to keep an eye out for.
• 19:55
  Speaker 13: And it's super cute. I'm looking at it right now. Yeah,
• 19:57
  Speaker 13: but it's It's interesting because there's two roadsters. Tesla's first
• 20:02
  Speaker 13: car was actually the roadster back in 2008. That was
• 20:05
  Speaker 13: a rebodied Lotus Elise, a British sports car with a
• 20:08
  Speaker 13: bunch of laptop batteries in it. Kind of a science project,
• 20:10
  Speaker 13: but it got them on the map.
• 20:11
  Speaker 11: And then in 2017, they unveiled the Roadster 2.0. Whatever
• 20:16
  Speaker 11: it is they're going to release on October 1st, it
• 20:19
  Speaker 11: might have changed from then. So the pictures that we
• 20:21
  Speaker 11: have out there now might not be a one for
• 20:23
  Speaker 11: one representation, especially when you consider there might be like
• 20:26
  Speaker 11: rockets on it or whatever. The design may have evolved
• 20:31
  Speaker 11: in the last nine plus years.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: OK, well, we'll know more on October 1st. ABC's Mike Dubosky,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: thank you so much.
• 20:37
  Speaker 12: Of course.
• 20:37
  Speaker 14: Take care.
• 20:38
  Speaker 15: All right.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: We'll talk to you soon. Let's get back to some
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: of the stories coming out of the KFI 24 hour newsroom.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Police in El Monte. have shot a man during a
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: call about a burning house. Officers were called last night
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: about a man with several guns sitting in a lawn
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: chair outside the home on El Rovia Avenue. There was
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: a shootout and firefighters had to stay back.
• 20:59
  Speaker 10: Shortly thereafter, Palmani PD cleared fire units in.
• 21:03
  Speaker 12: One patient was treated and transported.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: L.A.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: County Fire Captain Aaron Caton says firefighters were able to quickly...
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: knocked down a fire that started at the area. Two
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: people in a McLaren have been killed in a fiery
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: high-speed crash in Irvine. Police say the driver apparently lost
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: control yesterday, hit a curb, slammed into a tree, and
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the car split in two. Family and friends say one
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: of the two people killed was 27-year-old Orange County car
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: influencer James Ware. He co-founded South OC Cars and Coffee.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: The Trump administration wants to stop California from banning single-use
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: propane canisters.
• 21:44
  Speaker 10: A 2024 California law would ban sales of disposable one-pound
• 21:47
  Speaker 10: propane canisters starting in 2028. Supporters say using refillable canisters
• 21:53
  Speaker 10: instead will save money and reduce hazardous waste. The federal
• 21:56
  Speaker 10: government called California's plan to ban radical and unlawful, saying
• 22:00
  Speaker 10: it would force campers to buy more expensive and heavier options.
• 22:03
  Speaker 10: Tammy Trujillo, KFI News.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: And a giant whale shark is the latest rather unusual
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: creature to be seen in California's coastal waters.
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: Carl Sparunis, a spotter for commercial fisheries, told the LA
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: Times that the shark, which poses no threat to humans,
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: is about 14 to 16 feet long and is cruising
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: waters around Santa Barbara Island and Malibu. They're usually seen
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: in more tropical locales like Australia, Baja, California, and the
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: Persian Gulf. California waters have been warmer this year, and
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: it's attracting more tropical species. Huge bluefin tuna and rays
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: with up to 10-foot wingspans have also been spotted. Whale
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: sharks are the largest fish alive today, but their teeth
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: are small. Rich Cassone, KFI News.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: That's very good news.
• 22:44
  Speaker 12: 14 feet long.
• 22:45
  Speaker 11: If I saw a 14 foot long shark of any kind,
• 22:48
  Speaker 11: I might get out of the water.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: But you know what?
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I think they should rename them because sharks, you know,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: they have a reputation for biting people. And these whale
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: sharks can't do that. They're just gentle giants, right? Police
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: have arrested a man for allegedly robbing another man who
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: was scouting a potential restaurant location in San Gabriel. Alhambra
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: police say the guy was sitting in his vehicle when
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: the other man approached him, demanded money, and threatened him
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: with a weapon. Police say the guy in the car
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: gave the robber $ 70, 000. Police were able to track him
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: down and arrested him. President Trump has arrived back in Washington, D.C.

• 23:30
  Speaker 1: before he got on board Air Force One and confirmed
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: that he will remove U.S. tariffs on Irish whiskey. Fans
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: at the Irish Open cheered when he made that announcement.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Trump sparked controversy on Saturday when he said in Dublin
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: that he would love to see a united Ireland and
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: thinks that's going to happen eventually. Michael J. Fox will

  Speaker 12: 21 that serve were not asked to come back by
• 25:51
  Speaker 12: the California Senate.
• 25:52
  Speaker 14: These were two commissioners that supported the release of multiple
• 25:55
  Speaker 14: violent sexual offenders back into our community.
• 25:58
  Speaker 12: Assemblyman Josh Hoover from Folsom.
• 26:00

• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Time to get in your business, as we do each
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: weekday morning. And this morning, we're talking to Erica Herskovitz. Erica,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Paramount Skydance could be a step closer to settling that
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: massive lawsuit that's trying to block the merger.
• 26:58
  Speaker 17: Yeah, Amy, Paramount's guidance and a group of state attorneys
• 27:01
  Speaker 17: general have been ordered to meet in late October to
• 27:04
  Speaker 17: negotiate a possible settlement to the state's lawsuit challenging Paramount's
• 27:07
  Speaker 17: proposed merger with Warner Brothers Discovery. If they can't, Paramount
• 27:12
  Speaker 17: has to pay Warner Brothers late fees of $ 7 million
• 27:14
  Speaker 17: a day starting on October 1st and deal with a
• 27:17
  Speaker 17: court trial, which is scheduled for March. States argue the
• 27:21
  Speaker 17: deal would harm film and TV competition, distribution and jobs.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, and are mall bangs going to come back now
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: that malls are kind of having a moment? I do
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: not miss my mall bangs, by the way. Malls, they
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: are having a moment.
• 27:35
  Speaker 17: Real estate analytics firm Green Street shows mall values are
• 27:39
  Speaker 17: up 13% over the past year, outperforming every other property type.
• 27:43
  Speaker 17: That's on top of resilient consumer spending and limited retailer bankruptcies,
• 27:47
  Speaker 17: which have put malls on their strongest footing in years,
• 27:50
  Speaker 17: with the most successful malls owners drawing crowds by renovating
• 27:54
  Speaker 17: properties and adding tenants less vulnerable to online competition.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: OK, so Airbnb is investing a quarter billion dollars to
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: housing problem projects.
• 28:06
  Speaker 14: How come?
• 28:06
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 28:07
  Speaker 17: $ 250 million toward housing projects to help tackle the problem
• 28:10
  Speaker 17: of housing affordability, Amy. The company says the money will
• 28:13
  Speaker 17: help developers build multifamily, mixed-income housing projects. The investment will
• 28:18
  Speaker 17: primarily focus on the U.S., but Airbnb says it hasn't
• 28:21
  Speaker 17: ruled out expanding this to other markets where they operate.
• 28:25
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: We'll have to watch that one. And we were just
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: talking about this a little bit ago. I had a
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: news story about it. OpenAI is not going public this year.
• 28:33
  Speaker 17: No, it's because the company says it needs to focus
• 28:36
  Speaker 17: more on AI safety. CEO Sam Altman tells Fortune that
• 28:39
  Speaker 17: an initial public offering right now would be ill-advised, citing
• 28:43
  Speaker 17: work still needed on safety and alignment on how the
• 28:46
  Speaker 17: AI industry and government should work together. The delay comes
• 28:49
  Speaker 17: amid growing warnings about the rapid pace of AI development,
• 28:53
  Speaker 17: including concerns raised by a former Anthropic researcher and Anthropic's
• 28:57
  Speaker 17: own CEO.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, and even though we're getting beef from our South
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: American neighbors, the price of beef, it's what's expensive.
• 29:06
  Speaker 17: Yeah, ground beef prices are at a new all-time high.
• 29:09
  Speaker 17: Averaging 7.16 a pound last month, ground beef is about 8%
• 29:14
  Speaker 17: more expensive than a year ago. And stubbornly high prices
• 29:17
  Speaker 17: for beef have been a key driver of broader food inflation.
• 29:21
  Speaker 17: The cattle herd is the smallest in over five decades.
• 29:24
  Speaker 17: Meatpackers have been paying higher prices for animals without being
• 29:27
  Speaker 17: able to pass those costs on to consumers. Shoppers are
• 29:30
  Speaker 17: showing signs of resistance to these higher prices.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: It's even more expensive than gas. Hard to believe. Erica Herskovitz,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: getting in your business as we each do each weekday morning.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much.
• 29:43
  Speaker 16: Thanks, Amy.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: All right. Police say nearly 80 people were sighted and
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: their minibikes impounded after officers boxed in a group in
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: a planned takeover on the 6th Street Bridge. The operation unfolded.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Around 2 yesterday afternoon, after police got information about a
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: large gathering of e-bike riders on the bridge, they blocked
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: the riders in, allowing officers to get them off their
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: bikes and take them into custody. Police in Baldwin Park
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: say they are investigating social media posts connected to a
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: new trend in the U.S. involving the cat in the hat.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Police say the posts reference not just schools in the city,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: but also specifically named students and staff. In an Instagram post,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Baldwin Park Police said any threat directed toward our schools, students, staff,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: or community will not be dismissed as a joke or
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: a prank. After six weeks at the top of the
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: box office, Spider-Man Brand New Day has been practically dethroned.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: The sequel to 1988's Practical Magic, starring Sandra Bullock and
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Nicole Kidman, opened in first place. It took in $ 30
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: million at the box office. Spider-Man finished second. The Odyssey
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: finished in third place in its ninth weekend in theaters.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: We're just minutes away from handle on the news this morning.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia has shut down an oil pipeline, which could
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: further choke off the supply of oil out of the
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Persian Gulf. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: everyone's kind of freaking out about AI. Even the makers
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: of AI are saying, you know what, we might want
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: to slow down a bit.
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: You're right, yeah. And Bill, as you mentioned, is going
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: to be talking about it today. But yeah, Dario Amadei,
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: who's the chief executive at Anthropic, published a 3,800-word essay
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: over the weekend and really kind of shook up the industry.
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: He said that he and his competitors need to sit
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: down in a room and figure out how to throttle
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: down the development of AI. He believes that it's getting
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: out of hand. Within a day or so, Sam Altman,
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: the CEO at OpenAI, agreed. He wrote his own posting
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: this morning talking about that. Elon Musk originally was resistant
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: to the idea of laying down competitive arms and working
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: together to slow the development of this thing. But now
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: he has posted his own three-word response to what Dario
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: Amadei said, saying, quote, Dario is right. So it may
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: be that the industry decides to slow the development of this.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, and this could be problematic because the president is going, no, go, go, go.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: But if the four biggest developers don't want to, I mean,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: they can do whatever they want, right? They're private companies.
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: I think you're right, yeah. And you're getting at something there.
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: That is that unless they get together and do this themselves,
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: self-regulate or self-control, then Congress is likely to step in
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: and say, you know what? If you're not going to
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: do it, we are. We're going to slap new regulations
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: on artificial intelligence and on new companies by extension. So
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: I think that this altruistic, let's save the world by
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: sitting down and working out a better AI approach is
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: also backed up by this feeling that if we don't,
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: Congress is going to step in, we're going to lose
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: billions of dollars.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: I think it's an interesting concept because you think if
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: we made the AI, that we would just be able
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: to say, don't do anything to hurt people. Because the
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: big concern is it could wipe out the human race
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: or something to that effect. But I mean, can't they
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: just tell it to do what it should do and
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: not do certain things?
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: Well, it's gotten too smart, hasn't it? I mean, it's
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: grown beyond what the developers had intended. A few months ago,
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: I remember that some AI agents broke free of their
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: testing environment and essentially burglarized another company, stole credentials from there,
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: and then sneaked back into their own testing corral, if
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: you will, the sandbox. And so it did what it
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: wanted to, essentially. But beyond that, there's something called recursive self-improvement.
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: And that is artificial intelligence developing the next generation of
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: artificial intelligence. Right. And so on and so on. Each
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: generation building and bettering itself and becoming smarter and smarter
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: and more capable of doing good, but also doing potentially
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: creating a lot of mayhem. So, yeah, I think that's
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: what folks in the industry are concerned about, too. Yeah,
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: they're concerned about, you know, their AI running amok, but
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: also about their AI developing their.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Own A.I., So it's sort of one of those exploding
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: brain scenarios, like just as you start to think about
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: the different things. Like I would say.
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: What would you say?
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: I would say. Go ahead. Instead of AI trying to
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: get rid of people, why wouldn't like AI say, you
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: know what, we're not going to try to eliminate this
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: because at some point the machines are going to break
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: down and we still are going to need people. So
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: we better save the human race.
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: Well, the goal of artificial intelligence, one of the big
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: goals originally was to find cures for diseases, right, to
• 34:51
  Speaker 6: help humanity. And, yeah, I mean, beyond looking up answers
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: to silly questions on chat GPT, AI is intended to
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: do a lot of good things for the human race,
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: including potentially solving cancer, curing cancer. Wouldn't that be great? So, yeah,
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: and that's what President Trump is getting at. He says
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: that the good outweighs the bad. And what's more, if
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: you guys slow down over there, if you four AI
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: leaders decide to throttle back, then the Chinese are going
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: to pass us up in that arena, if they haven't already.
• 35:24
  Speaker 17: All right.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll be watching it. But I do want to
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: tell you that there is one reason I don't think
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: AI is going to destroy the human race.
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: It can't even get week one of the NFL season right.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: I used AI and I went through with all my
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: picks from my football pool and I said, hey, based
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: on the players, everything leading up to preseason, who should
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: I pick for this game? And that's how I based
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: my picks. And guess what I went? Seven and seven.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: So I'm not going to worry about AI just now.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Did AI just cut Jim Ryan off? Is that what
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: just happened? All right, let's get back to some of
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. At
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: least one California Democrat is sounding the alarm about AI.
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: Silicon Valley Congressman Ro Khanna posted a video on social
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: media saying if AI is really so dangerous, there needs
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: to be mandatory liability and criminal penalties for the companies
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: that might destroy humanity.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: If you're creating an AI that is doing illegal things,
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: you either should face liability or criminal sanctions.
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: That is what we need to protect humanity. He and
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: others want Congress to take up the issue. House Minority
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: Leader Hakeem Jeffries says AI is on the agenda this week.
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: This all comes after warnings this past week that AI
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: could destroy humanity in the next few years. Jason Nathanson,
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: KFI News.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: House Speaker leader or House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries says
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Congress needs to act urgently and blames House Speaker Johnson
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: for not continuing a bipartisan House AI task force.
• 37:03
  Speaker 15: Under Speaker Mike Johnson, he killed a bipartisan task force,
• 37:09
  Speaker 15: this Congress, that was prepared to do the serious work
• 37:12
  Speaker 15: necessary to to try to erect the guardrails to protect
• 37:15
  Speaker 15: the health, the safety, the well-being of the American people.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: The bipartisan task force completed its work in 2024, but
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: it wasn't renewed in the current Congress. Johnson says Congress
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: should be cautious about regulating AI and should act when
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: lawmakers have concrete solutions. News brought to you by Pacific
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Coast Termite. Officials in Yemen say Houthi rebels have have
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: captured more strategic islands in the Southern Red Sea, which
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: strengthens their control of a major shipping route. Officials say
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: the rebels have fighters on the islands of Greater Hanash
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: and Lesser Hanash, about 100 miles from the Bab al-Mandeb Strait.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: The Houthis took over the islands after hundreds of government-allied
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: forces pulled out. A water main break has flooded part
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: of Las Virginas Road in Calabasas. The street was shut
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: down last night from Mulholland Highway to Lost Hills Road.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Both directions are closed.
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: L.A.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: County Public Works responded to the area to fix the break. SNAP,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: which used to be food stamps, is facing a shakeup
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: and a funding lapse. States are now going to have
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: to pick up 75% of the costs for low-income SNAP recipients.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: ABC's Chuck Sievertson says... That's a big shift from the
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: federal government, unless Congress acts to give states more time.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: The switch is in the one big beautiful Republican budget
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: bill that became law. Since its changes in work requirements
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: and red tape hurdles to applying, about 5 million Americans,
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: including a million and a half children, lost access to SNAP.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: The changes are scheduled to take effect in October, unless
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Congress intervenes. A new CDC report finds about 7 in
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: 10 American adults have felt fatigued on multiple days over
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: the past three months. Women and younger adults were more
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: likely to report feeling exhausted most or every day. Researchers
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: say fatigue is different from ordinary sleepiness because the physical
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: or mental exhaustion doesn't improve when you get more sleep
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: or more rest. A woman aboard an American Airlines flight
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: to Miami has been arrested. because of an X-rated show
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: in the sky.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Flight 1779 from Baltimore giving travelers a whole new way
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: to move forever forward. A passenger in row nine stripped
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: completely naked mid-flight to Miami. According to cockpit text logs
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: leaked to ground control, the woman started performing explicit indecent
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: sex acts in plain view of shocked travelers. The crew
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: radioed ahead and Miami-Dade police swarmed the gate to take
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: her into custody the moment the plane touched down. Natalie Rodriguez, Miami.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: I don't even know what to say about that.
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: I was going to say, does that fare cost more?
• 39:56
  Speaker 12: I don't know.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I was going to make some joke about the Mile
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: High Club, but I don't know.
• 40:00
  Speaker 13: Okay.
