  Speaker 1: former President Obama are going to be out on the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: campaign trail this weekend. ABC's Diana Paulson joins us with
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: where they're going, what's at stake, and that's coming up
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: before the top of the hour. There's always little projects
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: to do around the house, right? Maybe it's a honey-do list. Well,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Dean calls them punch lists. They're not the big things.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: They're the smaller projects. We're going to hit some of
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: them at 520 this morning. Let's get started with some
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: of the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: A popular commuter train in Orange County will shut down
• 3:57

  Speaker 7: Metrolink says trains between the Laguna Niguel Mission Viejo station
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: and Oceanside will be suspended next Monday to Friday because
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: of the coming king tides. They're worried about the section
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: of the track that's beachfront near San Clemente. In September,
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: high tides and powerful waves splashed over the track. There
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: was erosion and damage. Emergency repairs were needed and all
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: trains were stopped. And while Metrolink is pressing pause, we're
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: told Amtrak will still run Pacific Surfliner trains on the
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: tracks next week, as long as it's safe. The king
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: tides are expected Monday through Wednesday. Jason Aithenson, KFI News.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: A man who allegedly shot and killed his teenage girlfriend
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: in Arcadia, then tried to kill himself, is in the hospital.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: He was in critical condition yesterday. He's accused of breaking
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: into the girl's home earlier in the day and killing her.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Neighbors tell KTLA they heard two gunshots.
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: Heard a woman screaming. We heard her asking for like
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: an ambulance. It sounded like it was like a mom
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: for sure.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Sheriff's investigators say Paul Cruz was found near Glenarm Street
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and the 110 in Pasadena. That's where he allegedly shot himself.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Orange County's district attorney says parents don't get a pass
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: if their children break the law.
• 5:03
  Speaker 9: After a 13-year-old died from crashing into a light pole
• 5:06
  Speaker 9: on an e-bike, his father's charged with felony child endangerment
• 5:09
  Speaker 9: and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and his
• 5:11
  Speaker 9: mother with misdemeanor child endangerment. Is the devastating loss of
• 5:14
  Speaker 9: a child enough punishment? OCDA Todd Spitzer told KFI's Monks
• 5:18
  Speaker 9: and Merrill.
• 5:18
  Speaker 10: People are getting hurt.
• 5:20
  Speaker 11: And so, yes, I have great empathy for the parents,
• 5:24
  Speaker 11: but I also.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Have to hold them responsible.
• 5:26
  Speaker 9: He said he wouldn't seek the maximum six years in
• 5:28
  Speaker 9: prison the father's facing, but he's not letting anyone off
• 5:31
  Speaker 9: the hook.
• 5:31
  Speaker 10: I'm going to do whatever I can to see what
• 5:35
  Speaker 10: sticks in order to save kids' lives.
• 5:37
  Speaker 9: Mark Rauner, KFI News.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Dozens of Lakers fans got free parking for the team's
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: season opener thanks to star guard Luka Doncic. He bought
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: out an entire parking lot near Crypto.com Arena before Wednesday
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: night's game against Golden State. He also teamed up with
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Metro Bike Share to offer free rides across the city
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: for the day. Earlier in the day, he took out
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: a full-page ad in the LA Times, vowing the Lakers
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: would give it their all every night to win a championship.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: The Lakers won on Wednesday, 127-105. Doncic scored a team-high
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: 28 points. I like him more and more. Let's say
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: good morning now to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: Jordana, we're going to.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Talk about the.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Apparent new agreement to attack Iran again between the U.S.
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: And Israel.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: But before that, we've got some new information from overnight
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: about Israel ordering the West Bank to be closed.
• 6:35
  Speaker 9: What happened?
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Well, two Palestinian militants, or as they're being called here
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: in Israel, terrorists, two gunmen opened fire at at a
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: checkpoint in the West Bank, at a point going into
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: the city of Hebron. These two gunmen were passing through.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: They jumped out of their cars. One had an automatic rifle,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: the other a gun, and they started firing. Five people
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: have been injured. Two are fighting for their lives. And
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: the gunmen were killed at the scene by Israeli forces.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: And the Israeli prime minister, in response to that attack,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: there were also a lot of there was a lot
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: of ammunition found in the car, which led Israeli authorities
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: to believe these two may have been on their way
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: to carry out a larger attack, but they were stopped
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: at the checkpoint or they were checking each car, so
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: they jumped out. It looks like they striked maybe early. Nonetheless,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: the Israeli prime minister has closed the West Bank in
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: response to that attack. Usually, just the area around the attack,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: which would be Hebron and the Palestinian villages, would be closed.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I think because we are just a few days away
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: from the election, Netanyahu is trying to show that he
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: is tough on security and in stopping militant attacks. And
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: so he's sealing the entire West Bank.
• 8:08
  Speaker 9: Do they think that.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Do they think the attacks have to do with the election?
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Was it a statement or something or they have any
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: idea at this point?
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: So no one has claimed the attack. Hamas did put
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: out a statement praising it and calling on other supporters
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: of Hamas or other supporters. Quote, unquote, violent resistance must
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: ask other people to carry out more strikes, but they
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: didn't or attacks, I should say, but they did not
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: claim this shooting attack. They just praised it and expressed
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: support for it. So we don't know if these two,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: they were two Palestinians in their 20s, actually cousins from
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: the city of Hebron. We don't know if they were
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: part of a larger group, even though Hamas hasn't claimed it.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: They could be connected to Palestinian Islamic Jihad or other offshoots,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: or maybe they just planned this attack together. All right.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. And then real quick, we
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: know that the U.S. and Israel have drawn up new
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: plans and apparently they're going to attack Iran again. What's
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: going on with that?
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Well, I think it's important to say we we sources
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: here in Israel have told ABC News that the IDF
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: and the U.S. military have drawn up plans for renewed
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: strikes on Iran. But these plans have not been greenlit yet.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: And if these attacks go forward, it won't be until
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: at least after the U.S. midterm elections. I think what's
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: important here, Amy, is why sources are leaking a story
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: like that now. And I think it serves President Trump
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: in a sense, as you talked about, in a sense,
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: in a sense. to put pressure on the Iranians to
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: make concessions, especially on the nuclear issue. And for the
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Israeli prime minister, I think it helps him in what
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: is going to be a very tight race in a
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: couple of days to get reelected because he can tell voters, hey,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: I have a plan with the president of the United
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: States to deal like one fatal blow or really knock
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Iran again. So I think the timing of this is questionable.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: And I don't think these plans are new. I think
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: they've been developed and on the table for some time.
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Thank you so much for
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the updates. We'll talk to you soon.
• 10:40

  Speaker 12: Trump spoke with reporters Thursday.
• 11:42
  Speaker 10: Well, if you ask me that same question about, let's say,
• 11:44
  Speaker 10: my sister, I would say no.
• 11:47
  Speaker 12: In an MSNOW interview, Omar was asked if she's related
• 11:50
  Speaker 12: to her ex-husband, to which she responded, not to my knowledge.
• 11:54
  Speaker 12: And the Democrat also called the allegations insane. While exiting
• 11:57
  Speaker 12: the White House Thursday, Trump said her answer to the
• 11:59
  Speaker 12: question tells you a lot. This comes after federal agents
• 12:02

  Speaker 13: When we come back.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: There's always little projects to do around the house. Not

• 13:45
  Speaker 1: has filed a motion to dismiss the federal government's lawsuit
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: challenging the legality of its voter rolls. The lawsuit was
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: recently filed by the U.S. Department of Justice. It asks

  Speaker 1: One had not been vaccinated. One was vaccinated a week ago,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: but it takes two weeks for the vaccine to kick in.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Health officials say flu activity in the county is higher
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: than usually seen this time of year. They're recommending everyone
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: six months and older get the annual flu vaccine.
• 14:30
  Speaker 9: Federal authorities say the.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Maverick will get you real when you get to the ship.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: And if you don't, give me a call.
• 14:39
  Speaker 9: I'll fly with you.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Ah, Tom Skerritt, Viper.
• 14:43
  Speaker 9: Sir.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Tom Skerritt has died. He was best known as Tom
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Cruise's top gun instructor. He also starred in Alien, Picket Fences,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the movie M.A.S.H., and the, well, I already said the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: TV series Picket Fences. He earned two Emmy nominations for
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: his role in that TV show. His family says he
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: died of natural causes on Wednesday. Tom Skerritt was 93.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: That is a nice long life, isn't it? Let's say
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: good morning now to the host of Home on KFI.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: It's our house whisperer, Dean Sharp. So, Dean, there's always
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: little projects to do around the house, not necessarily the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: big ones, the little ones, and you call them punch lists.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: So let's hit some of them.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: Yes, that's what we're going to be talking about for
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: the second week in a row this weekend because it
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: was such a popular topic and I still had stuff
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: left on my punch list. One of the things that people...
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: Have issues with just about every home we walk into
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: our pocket doors. In fact, I would say maybe nine
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: out of 10 homes we go to and do consults for.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: have at least one pocket door where the owner will say, oh, no, no, no,
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: don't even bother trying to close that thing. That's been shut.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: That's been locked open for decades because people hate their
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: pocket doors because they assume that pocket doors are just
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: terrible ideas. And what I want to communicate to everybody
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: is they're not. Pocket doors are brilliant ideas. It's just
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: the hardware problem. that builders put in when they installed
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: them to begin with. And it's not the door, by
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: the way. A door, a pocket door is just a
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: door hanging on a track with rollers. It's the track
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: and the rollers that's the problem. And so if you're
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: thinking about doing a remodel or a new build or
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: you've got an old one that you would really, really
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: love for it to work, the good news is there
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: is astoundingly good pocket door hardware out there that will
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: keep that door working perfectly for decades.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Do you have to tear the walls down to fix it?
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Well, see, that's... That's the problem, huh?
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: Tear the walls down is not really the right way
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: of describing it. You have to remove the drywall that's
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: on the pocket.
• 17:05
  Speaker 14: Okay.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: That's on the pocket side. So we're not actually tearing
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: down the wall. We're just getting to the pocket. So yeah,
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: there's some drywall removal about three feet worth. The height
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: of the door slid into the pocket, but that's it.
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: And then you can change out the pocket hardware and
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: pop those two pieces of drywall back on and you're
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: back in business.
• 17:24
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Well, I have another question about pocket doors because I
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: have one in my house. It's in a little hallway
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: and it's perfect for that area because- Having a door
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: swing out into the hallway would block it and everything.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: I love having the pocket door. The only thing I
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: don't like about it is the handle.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: Oh, the little flippy handle.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the little flippy handle. Do they have better ones now?
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: There are.
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: There are better pocket door handles. One of the ones
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: that I like the most is a little spring mounted
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: plunger handle where you actually you just press in on
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: a button on the side of the door and all
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: of a sudden out comes the handle. It pops right out.
• 18:01
  Speaker 10: Oh, OK.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: And then you can pull it across and that often
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: serves as the locking mechanism too.
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 18:06
  Speaker 14: Here's something.
• 18:07
  Speaker 9: Yeah, go ahead.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I was going to say you mentioned handles or I
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: mentioned handles and that takes us right into the kitchen
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: because there are lots of little handles in the kitchen
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: that can make a big difference.
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Oh, my gosh. You know, people are always wondering, like,
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: what am I going to do with this old kitchen?
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: How can I refresh this kitchen? And I don't have
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: a budget to get new doors or drawers or new
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: cabinets because that's crazy expensive. One of the things that
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: you should think about, honestly, is just the pulls. You'd
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: be shocked how big a difference of a refresh getting
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: new cabinet pulls in your kitchen can be. They're inexpensive.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: They're something that, you know, a homeowner can swap out
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: themselves with a screwdriver. You just have to be aware
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: if you're using regular handles of the, you get a
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: little tape measure and check the spread. Like, is it
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: three inches apart where the holes are? Is it three
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: and a half? They're kind of standardized sizes. So you're
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: not going to find anything too bizarre, but you got
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: to know before you go to the store. So you
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: come home with the right stuff. But changing out the
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: cabinet pulls can be such a quick refresh for a kitchen.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: OK, and then I don't know if this is for
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: the kitchen, but I love this. And I was just
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: thinking about this in my little kitchen the other day
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: that I don't like the bright overhead light first thing
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: in the morning because I get up at two thirty
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: in the morning. But I want some light in the kitchen.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: And I was like, you know what? I should get
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: some of those under cabinet lights and just get some like.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: But I don't know if that's even what you're talking about,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: about recess lighting.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: No, that's not what I'm talking about. But you know what?
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: Doesn't matter. We live in the golden age of strip lighting,
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: under cabinet lighting. It is so easy. It used to be,
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, I remember back in the day.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: was like, what? You put cabinet lights underneath, you know,
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: and it was a whole thing. And a lot of
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: times it was fluorescent and it was weird.
• 19:58
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: But these days it's just pennies, pennies on the dollar
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: to get LED lights. strip lighting. Most of them are self-adhesive.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: They run on little transformers. They're dimmable. Some of them
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: are color changing. I mean, it is really an amazing
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: world out there. And we never, never install new cabinets
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: without putting plenty of those lights in, especially You talk
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: about getting out into the kitchen in the morning. Here's
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: a place where most people don't think about putting them.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: We put them down in the cabinet kick down at
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: the floor, that little toe recess. You put LED strip
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: lighting along the cabinet kicks down and have that run
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: to a little dimmer switch. And for most of our clients,
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: that becomes the primary light that they use when they're
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: watching TV and they get up and they go into
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: the kitchen. They don't want to turn on all the
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: lights because it's too much glare and it disrupts the
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: whole movie experience. Having a little bit of soft golden
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: light lighting up the floor area and glowing up from there.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Amazing.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, that sounds I might have a project for this weekend.

• 22:13
  Speaker 9: General Rob Bonta says it's not actually about legitimate voter fraud.
• 22:17
  Speaker 15: They are doing this in California during an election. I
• 22:19
  Speaker 15: think the answer is obvious. They are trying to. interfere
• 22:22
  Speaker 15: with our election. And what they have advanced is that
• 22:26
  Speaker 15: they believe that Democrats are involved in widespread voter fraud.
• 22:30
  Speaker 9: He says the feds tried this in Nevada.
• 22:32
  Speaker 15: Zero of the 16,000 were ineligible. They weren't right on
• 22:35
  Speaker 15: one of the 16,000. They were wrong on every single one.

• 23:01
  Speaker 1: but California is another story.
• 23:03
  Speaker 16: The researchers say the U.S. economy is expected to avoid
• 23:06
  Speaker 16: a recession next year, but Southern California will face sluggish
• 23:09
  Speaker 16: job growth and persistent housing affordability problems. The forecast projects
• 23:14
  Speaker 16: continued national economic growth fueled largely by artificial intelligence investment,
• 23:19
  Speaker 16: while regional employment gains remain limited. The researchers predict a
• 23:23
  Speaker 16: period they call growflation characterized by annual gross domestic product
• 23:28
  Speaker 16: growth in the mid-2% range, inflation in the mid-3% range,

  Speaker 1: As if getting through the Sepulveda Pass isn't already enough
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: of a challenge, major closures are coming to the 405
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: next week between the Valley and West LA. Caltrans says
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: the freeway is going to be shut down during overnight

  Speaker 1: The founder of a Culver City-based nonprofit has pleaded not
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: guilty to charges of misappropriating more than $ 7. 5 million in
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: taxpayer money that was supposed to go to homeless programs.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Prosecutors say Michael Young of Baldwin Hills ran home at last,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: but siphoned money away from the program to buy real
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: estate and build a nightclub and a bingo hall. A
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: local developer who wants to build a 400-megawatt data center
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: at the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command near Old Town,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: San Diego, has hit a big snag. Mayor Todd Gloria
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: signed a moratorium on data centers in the city this week.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: The moratorium will be taken up by city council next week,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: and if passed, it would put a pause on data
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: centers within city limits until the city can put some
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: regulations in place. Here's some more stories coming out of
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Law enforcement officials in California are
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: urging Governor Newsom not to empty out death row.
• 25:11
  Speaker 14: A group of top cops in the state sent a
• 25:13
  Speaker 14: letter to Newsom pleading with him not to commute the
• 25:16
  Speaker 14: sentences of 563 inmates. The group of police chiefs from
• 25:20
  Speaker 14: across the state called the idea an outrageous insult to
• 25:23
  Speaker 14: the victims and families who have waited decades for justice,
• 25:26
  Speaker 14: and they also say that it would undermine the work
• 25:28
  Speaker 14: of law enforcement. California hasn't put anyone to death since
• 25:32
  Speaker 14: 2006 and houses the nation's largest population of death row inmates.
• 25:37
  Speaker 14: Newsom seemed conflicted about the decision on a recent podcast.
• 25:40
  Speaker 14: Jason Campadonia, KFI News.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Governor Newsom has announced he's granted 27 pardons and 30 commutations.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: That makes 303 pardons and 199 computations since he took office.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Most of those pardoned this time around were convicted of
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: drug and alcohol-related crimes. The commutations were granted to inmates
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: convicted of murder, attempted murder, and other violent crimes. Many
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: had been sentenced to life without parole. Newsom's office says
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: the governor weighs numerous factors in clemency cases, including the inmates'
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: self-development since the crime was committed, whether the grant is
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: consistent with public safety, and the impact on the community.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Santa Ana City Council meeting got a bit heated this week.
• 26:25
  Speaker 9: It started when Mayor Emezcua said this to Councilman Jonathan
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: Ryan Hernandez.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Any opportunity that you get or Councilmember Vasquez gets, it's
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: about beating up police.
• 26:35
  Speaker 9: And he wasn't having any of it.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: But yet, you called 911 when they came to beat
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: you up at your property.
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: You called 911 too, didn't you? I did.
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: No problem calling 911. You worked for them.
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: The exchange escalated.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: Keep my family's name out of your mouth. Don't talk
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: about my mom.
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: Simple as that. The argument appeared to end when a
• 26:52
  Speaker 9: vote was called. Neither the mayor nor Hernandez responded to
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: my request for comments. Mark Rauner, KFI News.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: The FBI says the teenager who killed a teacher and
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: three students at an elementary school in Bend, Oregon, may
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: have been influenced online.
• 27:06
  Speaker 13: Law enforcement sources tell The Oregonian that investigators have been
• 27:11
  Speaker 13: scouring the teen's online activity and believe he may have
• 27:14
  Speaker 13: been radicalized online by extremist groups and neo-Nazis, including the
• 27:18
  Speaker 13: group 764. Federal officials say 764 uses threats and blackmail
• 27:24
  Speaker 13: to pressure young people into acts of violence, sex, and cruelty.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: KFI's Michael Kastner says the 16-year-old was shot and killed
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: by the father of two students at the school. Police
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: say the teen had used a shotgun his mother bought
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: for him for his birthday. France has reported the first
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: human case of the livestock virus Shimonda. A man in
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: France died from it. It's not known how he got it.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: One theory is that he was bitten by an infected fly.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: University of Glasgow virus expert Brennan says this shouldn't be
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: cause for alarm.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: The general public fit well.
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: People have very little to worry about from Shimonda.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: It's primarily an animal pathogen.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: The man who died was in his 60s with other
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: medical issues. Symptoms of shamanda in animals include diarrhea, weakness.
• 28:10
  Speaker 9: And fever.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Baja Blast fans can rest easy. Taco Bell is sticking
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: with Pepsi. The Irvine-based fast food chain has signed a
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: new 10-year deal with PepsiCo just days after sister chain
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: KFC switched over to Coke products.
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: Yay, KFC.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Taco Bell fans might riot, though, if the chain ditched
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the popular Pepsi-made Mountain Dew Baja Blast and the Doritos
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Locos Tacos, which are both exclusive to Taco Bell. The
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: deal is a win for Pepsi, which has been struggling
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: with sales. Time to get in your business now with
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Dan Schwartzman. Morning, Dan.
• 28:45
  Speaker 10: Good morning, Amy. How are you?
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Doing good, but something that's not Doing good or looking
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: good are the futures for the stock market today.
• 28:54
  Speaker 13: They're kind of, yeah.
• 28:57
  Speaker 10: You can say that again. Yeah, they're not good right now.
• 29:00
  Speaker 10: Let's start off with the Dow, Amy. It's down eight-tenths
• 29:02
  Speaker 10: of one percent. S & P is down four-tenths of
• 29:05
  Speaker 10: one percent. And the tech-heavy Nasdaq is down a quarter
• 29:08
  Speaker 10: of one percent. So we had a rough day yesterday.
• 29:10
  Speaker 10: It looks like we're going to have a rough day
• 29:12
  Speaker 10: today to close out the week.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, buckle up. Metastock is one of the stocks that's
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: way down as the company continues spending boatloads of cash.
• 29:20
  Speaker 10: Yeah, the stock finished Thursday's session down 7% as its
• 29:24
  Speaker 10: free cash flow turned negative. As a company continues to
• 29:27
  Speaker 10: spend massive amounts on AI, the spread on Meta's five-year
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: credit default swap is reaching an all-time high. That means
• 29:33
  Speaker 10: investors are hedging their bets in case the company faces
• 29:35
  Speaker 10: financial problems in the years to come. Right now, in
• 29:38
  Speaker 10: pre-market trading, markets are opening. about 50 minutes. It is
• 29:41
  Speaker 10: down 0.8% to 1%. So, Meta not having a good
• 29:45
  Speaker 10: day and a good future so far this morning.
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: This doesn't seem like a natural fit, but who knows?
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: SpaceX is looking to become a wireless carrier.
• 29:53
  Speaker 10: Yeah, they're looking to secure a minimum of 80,000 cell
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: sites across the U.S. and is in talks at least
• 29:59
  Speaker 10: one major cellular infrastructure company to reach that goal. Agreements
• 30:03
  Speaker 10: would solidify Elon Musk's rocket and satellite company's path toward
• 30:06
  Speaker 10: building a fourth nationwide wireless carrier. The value of the
• 30:10
  Speaker 10: deals with SpaceX could reach into the billions of dollars
• 30:13
  Speaker 10: with a company planning to use its Starlink satellites and
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: other elements to establish reliable links with users on the ground.
• 30:19
  Speaker 10: It kind of makes sense, Amy. I mean, they have
• 30:21
  Speaker 10: the whole satellite infrastructure anyway. And if they can just
• 30:24
  Speaker 10: make these deals with these cell towers, why not just
• 30:26
  Speaker 10: have another one? And hopefully that lowers prices for you, me,
• 30:28
  Speaker 10: and everybody else out there.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it is a natural fit.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and see. One car maker is
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: seeing a big hit in its stocks.
• 30:37
  Speaker 10: And I have one of these cars. Automaker Volvo saw
• 30:39
  Speaker 10: its stock plunge by nearly 30% to a record low
• 30:43
  Speaker 10: after its CEO said the market for Western-developed cars in
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: China was disappearing fast. Deliveries in China dropped more than 40%
• 30:51
  Speaker 10: in the third quarter as local brands dominate the electric
• 30:54
  Speaker 10: vehicle market and a spending crisis in the country weighs
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: on demand. Volvo is going to cut 2,500 more jobs
• 31:00
  Speaker 10: as part of a plan to reduce costs. with the
• 31:02
  Speaker 10: job cuts affecting about 6% of Volvo's workforce. So they're right.
• 31:06
  Speaker 10: I mean, these Chinese electric cars are good-looking, they're cheap,
• 31:10
  Speaker 10: and they're dominating the market there.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: But we can't get them here.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Dan Schwartzman getting in your business as we do
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: each weekday morning. Have a wonderful weekend, and hopefully we'll
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: talk to you next week.
• 31:20
  Speaker 10: You as well, Amy. Take care. All right. Thanks.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: When we come back, both President Trump and former President
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Barack Obama are going to be out on the campaign
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: trail this weekend. ABC's Diana Paulson joins us next with
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: where they're going and what's at stake.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: AM 640.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Here's what we're following in the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Southern
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: California is expected to face sluggish job growth and continued
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: housing affordability problems. An economic forecast released by Cal State
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Fullerton also says the U.S. is expected to keep chugging
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: along and chances of a recession are pretty low. The
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: expected economic growth would be fueled largely by A.I.
• 32:03
  Speaker 9: Investment.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: French authorities say there will be a massive police presence
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: for tomorrow's planned protests around the country. The country has
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: been dealing with some of its worst rioting in years.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: The protests started over the lack of education funding, but
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: has since spread rapidly. To cover other issues as well,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: French President Emmanuel Macron says he will hold meetings with
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: the protesters to discuss concrete proposals and other demands made
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: by the protesters. Early in-person voting for the November 3rd
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: general election starts tomorrow at 123 vote centers across L.A. County.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Hundreds more locations will open next weekend.
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: The L.A.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: County Registrar-Recorder County Clerk says the initial vote centers are
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: going to operate daily from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to ABC's Diana Paulson. Diana,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: President Trump and former President Obama hitting the campaign trail
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: this weekend. Where are they going and what's at stake?
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so President Obama will be in Ohio. He'll be
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: campaigning with former Senator Sherrod Brown and Governor-Candid Amy Acton,
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: who's been the subject of that controversial ad. And then
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: he'll be headed to Michigan, where he'll be campaigning with
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: Senate candidate Abdullah El-Sayed in the Detroit area. El-Sayed has
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: had some problems with Black voters, so they're hoping that
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: President Obama's presence on the campaign trail will boost turnout.
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: Then we're going to see President Trump just a day
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: later in the Detroit suburbs with Mike Rogers, the Senate
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: candidate there. Rogers has publicly distanced himself from Trump on
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: a couple of issues, like tariffs and the Iran war.
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: So we'll see how the two men address those differences
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: in that rally.
• 33:39
  Speaker 10: Yeah, so.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: So does Rogers have a say in that or does
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: he welcome Trump being there or would he rather not
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: have him there?
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: So he has said that he welcomes Trump on the
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: campaign trail. But I don't really think you have another
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: option if you're a Republican nominee, I guess, unless you're
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: Susan Collins, who's the only Senate candidate that Trump has
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: not appeared with at any.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: Point this campaign cycle.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: Other than, I guess, in New Hampshire. So those two
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: northeastern states, he hasn't hit the campaign trail in. But
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: Mike Rogers, you know, he's a Republican. He has to
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: stand by the president. The president endorsed him, helped clear
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: the path for him early in the cycle. But I
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: think it will be interesting. El-Sayed's already going after Mike
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: Rogers for having this Trump visit, accusing him of being
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: a coward, unable to stand up to Trump and saying
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: that he needs to, like, call Trump to bail him
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: out because he's losing this race. Again, polling shows a
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: statistical tie.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: That's... Definitely one of the races to watch. And then
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: the Ohio governor's race has turned out to be pretty
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: interesting because Vivek Ramaswamy, who's running for governor against Amy Acton,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: did that campaign ad with Amy's mom. Where her mom says, oh,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: she's a liar. But then Amy came back and said, yeah,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: my mom stayed with somebody who sexually abused me.
• 34:54
  Speaker 10: So, yeah.
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah. So we've we've gotten the court records from this case.
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: It's a really sad one. But the court records show
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: that Amy's stepfather was charged with assaults. and that he
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: and Amy's mother fled the state to avoid charges. Multiple
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: arrest warrants were issued. Her father was given custody of
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: her because of these allegations. She and her brother both
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: grew up with their dad after that point, and that
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: these two women haven't seen each other since Amy Acton
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: was 12. They haven't seen each other in nearly 48 years.
• 35:26
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 35:27
  Speaker 14: Okay.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: And then Vivek Ramaswamy is kind of doubling down on it,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: and he said, You know what? You started it to
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Amy Acton.
• 35:34
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: Amy Acton ran an ad that I think not a
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: lot of people paid attention to earlier this year. Vivek
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: Ramaswamy had a really controversial past as a pharmaceutical developer.
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: He worked on this Alzheimer's drug that ended up being
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: found not effective. He and his mom worked on that
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: drug together and she was accused of manipulating data in
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: order to say that the drug worked and didn't. She
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: was never charged with anything. But Amy Acton released a
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: press statement about that reporting that said that Rebecca and
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: his mom had had manipulated results from that Alzheimer's drug.
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: That's what he's referring to. Not something that got a
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: lot of attention and not something that related to his
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: childhood or any trauma that he experienced.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: OK, well, it's I'm just amazed at how dirty these
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: races are all getting. Diana Paulson, thanks so much for
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: the information and the update.
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: All right. Speaking of elections, election confidence apparently is pretty high,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: but so is the fear of misinformation.
• 36:31
  Speaker 10: We live in an.
• 36:32
  Speaker 11: Era where there is a lot of misinformation about elections.
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: A new poll finds 76% of likely L.A. County voters
• 36:40
  Speaker 8: believe the November election will be accurate, yet nearly as
• 36:43
  Speaker 8: many fear misinformation could convince people their votes won't count.
• 36:47
  Speaker 8: Miguel Santana with Account You Can Trust says one concern
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: comes up repeatedly.
• 36:51
  Speaker 11: There is a perception that it's not safe to mail
• 36:55
  Speaker 11: your ballot.
• 36:56
  Speaker 8: But he says voters can track that ballot through the process.
• 36:59
  Speaker 11: And the answer is yes, it's 100% safe to complete
• 37:02
  Speaker 11: your ballot at home and put.
• 37:04
  Speaker 10: It in the mailbox.
• 37:05
  Speaker 8: Another source of suspicion, why counting takes so long? Santana
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: says L.A. County has more voters than states.
• 37:11
  Speaker 11: The county errs on accuracy over speed.
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: And despite concerns about hackers, Santana says the ultimate record
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: isn't digital.
• 37:19
  Speaker 11: The actual ballot is a piece of paper. So the
• 37:22
  Speaker 11: piece of paper is actually what is counted.
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: His advice when election claims start spreading online?
• 37:28
  Speaker 11: And do your research. Ask these questions, and I think
• 37:31
  Speaker 11: you'll find that the truth is, is that our system
• 37:35
  Speaker 11: is transparent.
• 37:36
  Speaker 8: And he says skeptical voters can even watch ballot processing themselves.
• 37:41
  Speaker 11: You could actually go yourself to the voting processing center
• 37:45
  Speaker 11: in the San Gabriel Valley and witness it for yourself.
• 37:48
  Speaker 11: It's open to the public. You see every single step
• 37:52
  Speaker 11: along the way. You're able to ask questions yourself. And
• 37:55
  Speaker 11: so it is It was intentionally designed for the most
• 37:59
  Speaker 11: skeptical voter.
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: Heather Brooker, KFI News.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: So Election Day is a week and a half away.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: And as we've been talking about, there's all the mail-in ballots,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: the in-person early voting starts tomorrow for L.A. County. And
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: so a lot of people are probably going to be
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: spending some time this weekend going over those ballots. So
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: I implore you, don't just vote. Like, read what's in
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: the ballot measures. They can be really confusing. I mean,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: they might look good at first glance. You might look
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: at the title and go, oh, that sounds great. Or
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: you might look at the title and say, no way.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: But then when you get into the weeds and really
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: read what it is, it might not be what you
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: thought it was. And it might not be such a
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: great idea. Or maybe it's a great idea, depending on
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: how you feel. Is there a tax associated with it?
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: How is it going to be paid for? Does it
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: make sense? What are the ramifications there? Think it through
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: and then vote. And if you need some assistance sorting
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: it out next week, Bill Handel is going to be
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: going through some of the bigger ballot measures and really
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: dissect them because they're again, there's a lot to them
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: and they don't always, I don't know, measure up to
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: what they seem to be. So next week, he's going
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: to be doing that. I'm calling it Handle on the Ballot.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: I like it. Handle on the News is coming up
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: in just a couple of minutes. World Series gets underway
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: tonight in Milwaukee, sans Dodgers. Of course, the Dodgers got
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: knocked out, so the Brewers are off to the big league,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: big time, big fall class. The Brewers are hosting the
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1. Both teams vying for
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: their first ever World Series title. First pitch goes out
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: tonight just after 5 o'clock. So there are some Milwaukee
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Brewer fans. who took part in a ticket promotion more
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: than 10 years ago, they say they're getting screwed over
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: for the World Series. So the team sold 1,000 so-called
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: timeless tickets in 2015. $ 1, 000 each. They can be redeemed
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: for the best seat at any future game.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Some of the people held on to those tickets for
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: just this moment. But the best seats for Game 1
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: of the World Series in Milwaukee tonight are either nosebleed
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: or standing room only. The Brewers say numerous pre-sales eliminated
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: seats near the field. So those timeless tickets, not exactly
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: the great deal that they thought they might be. But
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: the team says the golden ticket can be used in
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: the future if they want to hold on to it.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Of course, the last time Milwaukee went to the World
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Series was 44 years ago. Maybe it'll be quicker this time.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Just like that, our time on Wake Up Call is
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: done for the day. Thanks so much for starting your
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: day and ending your work week with us. We'll do
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: it again on Monday morning, so have a great weekend.
