AI Hearing in New York · Wake Up Call with Amy King

0:00
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM640 Wake Up Call with me,
0:04
Speaker 1: Amy King, on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
0:10
Speaker 2: KFI and KOST HD2, Los Angeles, Orange County. It's time
0:17
Speaker 2: for your morning wake up call.
0:22
Speaker 3: Here's Amy King.
0:25
Speaker 1: Well, hello there. It's five o'clock straight up. This is
0:31
Speaker 1: your wake up call for Tuesday, October 6th. Good morning.
0:36
Speaker 1: I'm Amy King. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
0:41
Speaker 1: Ready to get your day started? I got my oatmeal
0:44
Speaker 1: and I think it's just right this morning. Yesterday it
0:47
Speaker 1: was too runny. The day before, we had no utensils,
0:51
Speaker 1: so I ate it with a knife. But today it's
0:53
Speaker 1: just right. I feel like Goldilocks. Hey, it's Prime Days,
0:57
Speaker 1: first day of Prime Days, two days of big sales.
1:01
Speaker 1: Have you bookmarked your stuff? Like Rich DeMuro says, don't
1:05
Speaker 1: run out and buy stuff just because, but if there's
1:07
Speaker 1: something you're looking at, maybe bookmark it and see if
1:10
Speaker 1: it goes on sale. So that's what I've done. We
1:13
Speaker 1: shall see. Dodgers and Padres in action today. San Diego's
1:18
Speaker 1: at home. Hopefully that's going to be a good thing
1:20
Speaker 1: because they're in a must-win situation. And the Dodgers are
1:23
Speaker 1: in Atlanta today. They're trying to get the advantage back
1:26
Speaker 1: in the series. Go blue. It's a good thing that
1:32
Speaker 1: I don't chew my nails because they'd be gone. Here's
1:35
Speaker 1: what's ahead on Wake Up Call. Utility companies keeping a
1:38
Speaker 1: close watch on the power grid and responding to scattered
1:42
Speaker 1: power outages throughout L.A. and Orange County. As this heat
1:46
Speaker 1: wave continues, officials are urging people to conserve electricity by
1:50
Speaker 1: not using big appliances anymore. unplugging any electrical devices not
1:55
Speaker 1: being used and setting thermostats to 78 degrees, no lower.
1:59
Speaker 1: An extreme heat warning is in effect until Thursday night.
2:04
Speaker 1: One person has been killed and two others were injured
2:07
Speaker 1: when a car slammed into a burger restaurant in Santa
2:10
Speaker 1: Fe Springs. Crash happened about 2.30 yesterday afternoon at Slauson
2:14
Speaker 1: Avenue at Norwalk. The cause of the crash not clear yet.
2:18
Speaker 1: The intersection was closed for quite some time. President Trump
2:21
Speaker 1: says the U.S. is ready to help Russia after a
2:24
Speaker 1: lab worker died from being exposed to plague. Russian officials
2:29
Speaker 1: say that at first, they said, a woman at an
2:32
Speaker 1: anti-plague research institute died from an unspecified form of the disease,
2:36
Speaker 1: then later said the woman died from pneumonia. Some reports
2:40
Speaker 1: say nearly 200 people have been quarantined because of possible exposure.
2:46
Speaker 1: AI executives... are promising to police themselves. But ABC's Mike
2:50
Speaker 1: Dabusky says New York's not buying that and is taking
2:53
Speaker 1: steps to keep AI in check. Plus, Jaguar, Jaguar, I
2:58
Speaker 1: love to say that, is hoping to reinvigorate its brand
3:01
Speaker 1: and hopefully save the company. Mike's going to tell us
3:04
Speaker 1: more about that in just a couple of minutes. Supreme
3:06
Speaker 1: Court's back in session, and there's a lot at stake
3:08
Speaker 1: during this term. ABC's Peter Haralambous will join us to
3:13
Speaker 1: tell us some of the big cases being considered by
3:15
Speaker 1: the nation's highest court. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
3:20
Speaker 1: Why should you care and what should you do? Well,
3:22
Speaker 1: we'll be talking with the Komen Foundation's Nisa Jamie to
3:26
Speaker 1: find out. And it's an interview that could save your life.
3:29
Speaker 1: That's coming up a little bit later on Wake Up Call.
3:31
Speaker 1: Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
3:33
Speaker 1: of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
3:34
Speaker 4: The L.A.
3:35
Speaker 1: City Council Committee is expected to discuss a proposal to
3:39
Speaker 1: expand the city's anti-camping law. The proposal by Councilwoman Tracy
3:45
Speaker 1: Park would allow council members to establish anti-camping zones without
3:50
Speaker 1: a council resolution. It would also add U.S. post offices,
3:54
Speaker 1: fire stations, and police stations to the list of locations
3:57
Speaker 1: that are considered sensitive uses. The city of L.A. is
4:01
Speaker 1: preparing for what could be a severe El Nino season.
4:05
Speaker 1: We've already seen powerful surf and coastal erosion cause damage
4:10
Speaker 1: throughout Southern California. We do not know exactly how much
4:14
Speaker 1: rain L.A. will get this winter. Mayor Bass says crews
4:18
Speaker 1: are reinforcing vulnerable hillsides and burn areas while emergency teams
4:23
Speaker 1: prepare for possible flooding, strong winds and power surges. The
4:27
Speaker 1: city is also making sand and sandbags available at fire stations.
4:31
Speaker 1: State officials say there's a 75 percent chance El Nino
4:35
Speaker 1: could reach historic strength.
4:37
Speaker 5: L.A.
4:38
Speaker 1: Leaders will look at banning big data centers in part
4:40
Speaker 1: of the county.
4:41
Speaker 2: In the minds of many all over the state and
4:43
Speaker 2: the country right now, these massive data centers that opponents
4:46
Speaker 2: say use too much power and water and destroy the environment.
4:49
Speaker 2: Those in favor say they're needed to power the A.I.
4:51
Speaker 2: boom and they're good for the economy.
4:53
Speaker 6: Today, the L.A.
4:54
Speaker 2: County Board of Supervisors is considering a proposal by SUP
4:57
Speaker 2: Hilda Solis, which would ban large-scale data centers in all
5:00
Speaker 2: of unincorporated L.A.
5:02
Speaker 6: County.
5:02
Speaker 2: A recent report by the county recommended the ban because
5:05
Speaker 2: of health and environmental concerns. Jason Nathanson, KFI News.
5:09
Speaker 1: Apparently, Aerosmith is missing a thing because the ban is
5:18
Speaker 1: expected to announce details of A possible return to the
5:22
Speaker 1: stage at the Hollywood Bowl. The band ended touring more
5:25
Speaker 1: than two years ago because of lead singer Steven Tyler's
5:29
Speaker 1: vocal injury. A video released by the band shows Tyler
5:33
Speaker 1: placing letters on the Hollywood Bowl marquee with photographer Ross Halfen.
5:37
Speaker 1: And then Tyler says, it's Aerosmith and Friends, Ross. Aerosmith
5:41
Speaker 1: and Friends. And the dates October 29th and November 1st
5:46
Speaker 1: are on the marquee. Aerosmith was formed in Boston in 1970,
5:51
Speaker 1: became one of rock's most successful acts with hits including
5:54
Speaker 1: Dream On, Sweet Emotion, Walk This Way, and of course,
5:58
Speaker 1: I Don't Want to Miss a Thing. That would be
6:00
Speaker 1: very cool. Aerosmith at the Bowl? You don't think so?
6:04
Speaker 6: I guess if it's, yeah.
6:06
Speaker 2: Is he really singing?
6:08
Speaker 1: Is he really singing? I mean, is he cured? I
6:11
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess we'll have to wait and find out.
6:14
Speaker 1: We'll get details. Let's say good morning now to ABC's...
6:19
Speaker 1: Mike Dabusky. Morning, Mike.
6:21
Speaker 7: Good morning.
6:22
Speaker 6: How are you? Good.
6:23
Speaker 1: So AI executives promised at the White House last week
6:27
Speaker 1: that they would regulate themselves during the fast emerging industry.
6:32
Speaker 1: But New York is saying, yeah, I don't think so.
6:35
Speaker 1: What's going on? Yeah, not buying it.
6:36
Speaker 7: It doesn't seem like. So the New York City's local government,
6:40
Speaker 7: the city council, held a hearing on artificial intelligence yesterday,
6:43
Speaker 7: what they called the first of its kind in the nation.
6:46
Speaker 7: It brought together not just tech leaders from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google,
6:50
Speaker 7: and Meta, but also whistleblowers from those companies who have
6:53
Speaker 7: in recent months been sounding the alarm about how these
6:56
Speaker 7: companies are developing this technology, they say, in an unsafe way.
7:02
Speaker 7: The hearing kicked off with Jacob Coxon. He's that Anthropic
7:05
Speaker 7: researcher who resigned over the summer, claiming that the lack
7:08
Speaker 7: of safety measures these companies are implementing could result in
7:12
Speaker 7: AI that wipes out humanity. Well, in New York yesterday,
7:16
Speaker 7: Coxon told the council on the current path, I think
7:18
Speaker 7: it is more likely than not that humanity loses control
7:22
Speaker 7: of these eyes and it can end with human extinction.
7:25
Speaker 7: This is a pretty marathon hearing. Lawmakers heard from almost
7:28
Speaker 7: 70 witnesses in total. It went well into the night
7:31
Speaker 7: and it included some tense moments between council members and
7:34
Speaker 7: representatives for these AI companies who appeared via video. It
7:38
Speaker 7: all comes as New York City weighs 10 pieces of
7:40
Speaker 7: legislation at the city level meant to regulate artificial intelligence.
7:44
Speaker 7: Something they say is necessary amid what they see as
7:47
Speaker 7: a lack of federal regulation.
7:49
Speaker 1: OK, so here's my question for you, Mike, since you're
7:52
Speaker 1: the tech guy. How could New York enforce anything that's
7:55
Speaker 1: being done nationally? They could say you can't do this,
7:58
Speaker 1: but I mean, this is or even globally.
8:02
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the challenge here. I mean, this is being
8:05
Speaker 7: touted as the first time a governmental body has gotten
8:08
Speaker 7: to compel answers from leaders of the most prominent AI
8:11
Speaker 7: companies on the technology's potential risks to the public. But
8:15
Speaker 7: the reality is, as you alluded to, the city council
8:17
Speaker 7: in New York is pretty limited in its ability to
8:20
Speaker 7: regulate an industry or really even one company, especially one
8:23
Speaker 7: that is not headquartered in New York. Much of the
8:26
Speaker 7: legislation that the council is considering is focused on the
8:29
Speaker 7: city itself. So a proposed measure to ban the marketing
8:32
Speaker 7: and sale of any AI tool that hasn't been through
8:35
Speaker 7: a third party validator and that doesn't have the ability
8:38
Speaker 7: to be turned off. That's all well and good for
8:41
Speaker 7: AI safety experts. But, you know, if you cross the
8:43
Speaker 7: river and go into New Jersey, well, then it might
8:45
Speaker 7: be a different story. Remember, though, New York is really big.
8:49
Speaker 7: There's over 8 million people here. It is bigger by
8:51
Speaker 7: population than some states. Legislation here in the past has
8:54
Speaker 7: set the template for other major metropolitan areas. In the
8:58
Speaker 7: wake of last week's meeting at the White House between
9:01
Speaker 7: these tech leaders and the president, signing on to that
9:04
Speaker 7: AI constitution, as they called it, agreeing to self-regulate and self-police,
9:09
Speaker 7: we have seen growing frustration at the local level that, hey,
9:13
Speaker 7: the federal government's not doing anything here. We have to
9:16
Speaker 7: do just something, regardless of how effective it will be.
9:20
Speaker 7: We have to at least get the ball rolling here.
9:22
Speaker 7: Also worth mentioning, just in New York, that this is
9:24
Speaker 7: where a lot of the companies do have major offices.
9:27
Speaker 7: Often it's the second largest office they have outside of California,
9:31
Speaker 7: right behind the ABC building in lower Manhattan. There is
9:33
Speaker 7: an anthropic office that just went in. Google is just
9:36
Speaker 7: a few blocks uptown. OpenAI is somewhere around here as well.
9:40
Speaker 7: Like the city sort of legislation can actually dictate some
9:43
Speaker 7: of these major offices and how they operate. So that
9:46
Speaker 7: might play a role as well. But we'll just have
9:48
Speaker 7: to wait and see.
9:49
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's switch gears because I want to talk
9:51
Speaker 1: about Jaguar.
9:53
Speaker 6: Jaguar.
9:53
Speaker 1: Jaguar. I always called it Jaguar, but I've been told
9:57
Speaker 1: it might be Jaguar.
9:59
Speaker 8: Yeah.
10:00
Speaker 7: I think that's sort of the British pronunciation, Jaguar. But Jaguar,
10:03
Speaker 7: or whatever they're called, they've been going through some tough
10:06
Speaker 7: times in the last few years. The flagging sales, they've
10:10
Speaker 7: actually taken the last year or so off from building
10:14
Speaker 7: cars entirely, basically just telling their dealers, hey, just get
10:17
Speaker 7: the inventory off the lot. Just sell whatever you have.
10:20
Speaker 7: Tonight in New York City, they are going to pull
10:22
Speaker 7: the wraps off what they hope is the key to.
10:25
Speaker 1: Their turnaround effort.
10:26
Speaker 7: It is going to be called the Jaguar Type 01,
10:30
Speaker 7: a long, low-slung electric sedan with entirely new styling and
10:35
Speaker 7: a completely new electric powertrain. We don't know specific specs.
10:39
Speaker 7: We don't know specifically what it's going to look like yet.
10:42
Speaker 7: But if you think back two years, Jaguar was actually
10:44
Speaker 7: in the news because they pulled the wraps off of
10:47
Speaker 7: a concept vehicle that was supposed to kind of give
10:49
Speaker 7: us a direction as to where they were thinking of
10:52
Speaker 7: going with this car. It was pretty divisive. It did
10:54
Speaker 7: not look like any Jaguar in the past. It was
10:56
Speaker 7: called the Type 00. And it was this, again, big
11:00
Speaker 7: sort of blocky, imposing thing. This, you know, led to
11:05
Speaker 7: a lot of division among, you know, car fans and
11:07
Speaker 7: Jaguar fans saying this does not look like what this
11:10
Speaker 7: brand is all about. Others said that, hey, you know,
11:13
Speaker 7: this brand has been failing over the last several years.
11:15
Speaker 7: They need to take a big swing tonight in New
11:18
Speaker 7: York at a star studded affair. You know, just a
11:20
Speaker 7: few blocks north of where I am right now, they
11:22
Speaker 7: are planning to. Pull off the wraps of the production
11:25
Speaker 7: version of that big swing and we'll have to see
11:28
Speaker 7: if it works for them. We do know that Jaguar
11:30
Speaker 7: is planning to move up market with this car instead
11:32
Speaker 7: of competing with the likes of, you know, BMW and
11:35
Speaker 7: Mercedes and Cadillac. They want to compete with like Porsche.
11:38
Speaker 7: They want to be in the six figure realm. That's
11:41
Speaker 7: a competitive market. Electric cars have been flagging in their
11:45
Speaker 7: sales recently. Sedans are not as popular as they once
11:48
Speaker 7: were as consumers gravitate over to SUVs. These are all
11:52
Speaker 7: challenges that are in front of this very storied electric
11:54
Speaker 7: vehicle brand. But maybe this thing does gather the attention
11:58
Speaker 7: that Jaguar wants it to and proves to be a success.
12:00
Speaker 7: There are higher margins higher up in the market. So
12:03
Speaker 7: we'll just have to wait and see.
12:04
Speaker 1: Yes, we will. Mike Dubosky, thank you so much for
12:07
Speaker 1: your time and info. I can't wait to see the
12:09
Speaker 1: new Jaguar.
12:11
Speaker 2: No problem.
12:12
Speaker 1: Take care. Have a good day. Let's get back to
12:14
Speaker 1: some of the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
12:17
Speaker 1: Getting diesel prices down is the goal of an executive
12:20
Speaker 1: order signed by President Trump. He did it during a
12:22
Speaker 1: campaign rally in Nebraska yesterday. The order eases limits on
12:26
Speaker 1: the tax-free use of red-dyed diesel.
12:30
Speaker 8: Which is exactly the same as normal diesel, but is
12:35
Speaker 8: sold tax-free for the off-road vehicles and big trucks.
12:41
Speaker 1: Trump says his order will allow anyone to buy tax-free
12:45
Speaker 1: red dye diesel. He says it'll save millions for farmers
12:48
Speaker 1: and drive down the cost of all goods. Gas prices
12:51
Speaker 1: have U.S. automakers paying the price for getting out of
12:54
Speaker 1: the hybrid market.
12:56
Speaker 5: More than half of all new cars sold in the U.S.
12:58
Speaker 5: last quarter were from Asia. Hybrids have led the way
13:00
Speaker 5: as the war with Iran pushes up gas prices. Hybrid
13:03
Speaker 5: sales for Toyota and Honda were up 29 and 21 percent.
13:06
Speaker 5: Korea's Hyundai hybrids were up 39 percent and Kia was
13:09
Speaker 5: up 152 percent. Ford, GM, and Stellantis have essentially given
13:13
Speaker 5: up the hybrid market with only two hybrid models coming
13:16
Speaker 5: from Detroit. Korean automakers have never sold more than Ford,
13:19
Speaker 5: but they're getting close. Hyundai and Kia combined sold 506,000
13:22
Speaker 5: vehicles last quarter, while Ford sold only about 3,000 more
13:25
Speaker 5: than that, mostly because of the hybrid market. Michael Crozier,
13:28
Speaker 5: KFI News.
13:36
Speaker 1: It's time for Dodger playoff baseball today. Your back-to-back world
13:39
Speaker 1: champion Dodgers take on the Braves in Atlanta. It's game
13:42
Speaker 1: three of the National League Division playoffs with the first
13:45
Speaker 1: pitch going out at just after 3 p.m. Brought to
13:49
Speaker 1: you by Asahi Superdry. Discover Japan's number one selling beer.
13:53
Speaker 1: Seek what is unique. The 19-year-old woman shot and killed
13:57
Speaker 1: at a big party at a strip mall near Cal
13:59
Speaker 1: State Northridge has been identified. Kimberly Pastor. was pronounced dead
14:04
Speaker 1: on a walkway at the scene late Friday, where an
14:07
Speaker 1: 18-year-old man identified by relatives as Jaden Lewis was also killed.
14:11
Speaker 1: Police are still searching for the shooter. About 200 people
14:14
Speaker 1: were at the party.
14:16
Speaker 6: L.A.
14:16
Speaker 1: Is taking steps to prepare for a potentially historic El
14:19
Speaker 1: Nino season. Mayor Bass says the city is inspecting and
14:23
Speaker 1: reinforcing vulnerable sections and burn areas with priorities given to hillsides.
14:29
Speaker 1: Effects of the El Nino are already being felt with
14:31
Speaker 1: a coastal hazard statement issued from today through Friday due
14:34
Speaker 1: to dangerous rip currents and abnormally high tides. New research
14:39
Speaker 1: shows a certain kind of diet can slow down brain aging.
14:43
Speaker 1: The so-called MIND diet has been linked to less brain
14:47
Speaker 1: tissue loss over time and helps with memory, decision-making, and learning.
14:52
Speaker 1: The new research in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and
14:55
Speaker 1: Psychiatry estimates that The MIND diet over time slows down
15:00
Speaker 1: brain aging by two and a half years. The MIND
15:03
Speaker 1: diet consists of green leafy veggies, nuts, whole grains, fish, poultry,
15:09
Speaker 1: and some other food groups. Let's say good morning now
15:13
Speaker 1: to ABC's Peter Haralambous. Peter, the Supreme Court's back in session,
15:19
Speaker 1: and there's a lot at stake during this term. What
15:22
Speaker 1: are some of the big ones?
15:24
Speaker 6: Good morning. This is going to be a busy term
15:26
Speaker 6: for the Supreme Court as they weigh into not only
15:28
Speaker 6: major issues related to the Trump administration, in particular the
15:31
Speaker 6: Trump administration's immigration agenda, but also hot-button cultural issues. The
15:36
Speaker 6: justices taking up the question of an AR-15 ban in Illinois,
15:40
Speaker 6: as well as this question of whether or not religious
15:42
Speaker 6: schools can be exempted from state funding, whether shelters should
15:46
Speaker 6: notify parents about transgender runaways, a number of issues that
15:50
Speaker 6: wade into the culture wars. Yesterday, they began the term
15:54
Speaker 6: also with a hugely consequential case related to the environment.
15:59
Speaker 6: The justice is hearing arguments about whether cities and counties
16:02
Speaker 6: can hold oil and gas companies accountable, at least financially,
16:06
Speaker 6: for the impacts of climate change. During this argument, we
16:09
Speaker 6: saw the Supreme Court divided, searching for a consensus. Notably,
16:13
Speaker 6: Justice Alito recused himself from the matter, meaning that if
16:16
Speaker 6: the case ultimately ties 4-4, it could be a success
16:20
Speaker 6: for the actual company, for the county of Boulder that's
16:23
Speaker 6: suing over this.
16:24
Speaker 1: So my question is, and I don't know what you
16:29
Speaker 1: all heard on the arguments that were given, but how
16:32
Speaker 1: could they prove financial security? Damages caused by, say, Chevron.
16:38
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're involved in this or not,
16:40
Speaker 1: but how could they prove that they changed the climate?
16:44
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a tricky question in terms of causality. In
16:47
Speaker 6: this case, the lawsuits over two companies, ExxonMobil, which is,
16:51
Speaker 6: of course, the massive oil company, as well as Suncor,
16:54
Speaker 6: a subsidiary of a Canadian oil company. And the way
16:57
Speaker 6: Colorado is approaching this, at least in state court, is
17:00
Speaker 6: looking at a state nuisance law. They're pointing to that
17:03
Speaker 6: nuisance law and pointing to the increased cost that it
17:06
Speaker 6: takes to mitigate the effect of climate change. and argues
17:09
Speaker 6: that the oil and gas companies should pitch in with
17:11
Speaker 6: some money to help cover those costs. Now, the oil
17:15
Speaker 6: companies are pushing back on this in two main ways. One,
17:18
Speaker 6: they argue that they should not be regulated by state law,
17:22
Speaker 6: that ultimately this is an issue that transcends across state lines,
17:25
Speaker 6: that this is an issue for the federal government, and
17:28
Speaker 6: that this case should be ultimately kicked out. They also
17:30
Speaker 6: argue that the lawsuit itself is premature. At this point,
17:33
Speaker 6: it hasn't even been heard throughout the Colorado court system. Really,
17:36
Speaker 6: the question for the Supreme Court at this point is
17:39
Speaker 6: whether or not this should move forward, though the implications
17:42
Speaker 6: are still massive in that there are dozens of similar lawsuits.
17:45
Speaker 6: If the Supreme Court comes through and says this lawsuit
17:48
Speaker 6: can move forward, it gives a green light to all
17:50
Speaker 6: of those other lawsuits, potentially resulting in billions of dollars
17:54
Speaker 6: being held liable, forced liabilities. forcing, excuse me, these oil
17:58
Speaker 6: and gas companies to pay that. They argue that that
18:01
Speaker 6: could be a kind of bankruptcy enabling decision if those
18:05
Speaker 6: lawsuits proceed.
18:06
Speaker 1: Then, Peter, so they hear arguments about this, you know,
18:09
Speaker 1: on the first day they're in session, but then they're
18:12
Speaker 1: not expected to give decisions until it seems like they
18:15
Speaker 1: all come out late, like in the middle of next year.
18:19
Speaker 1: Or do they do they make the decisions as they go?
18:24
Speaker 6: It depends on the issues. Sometimes if it's an issue
18:26
Speaker 6: of time sensitivity, they might rule in much earlier. For example,
18:30
Speaker 6: on tariffs, we saw a pretty accelerated decision. That being said,
18:34
Speaker 6: on issues like this one, it's more likely that we'll
18:35
Speaker 6: get a decision by May or June. Meanwhile, there are
18:39
Speaker 6: other issues where the Supreme Court is somewhat constantly putting
18:42
Speaker 6: out decisions, specifically about whether or not they're going to
18:45
Speaker 6: take up cases. So for example, yesterday, they put out
18:47
Speaker 6: An order list where they declined to take up a
18:49
Speaker 6: lawsuit related to the phrase, let's go, Brandon. It was
18:54
Speaker 6: a lawsuit filed by two students, I believe from Michigan,
18:57
Speaker 6: who argued that they were punished by their school for
19:00
Speaker 6: wearing a T-shirt with that slogan on to school one day.
19:05
Speaker 6: They challenged that through the courts. The Federal Circuit Court
19:07
Speaker 6: ultimately said no. That it's really not the place of
19:10
Speaker 6: the courts to rule in to what school districts define
19:13
Speaker 6: as profanity. The Supreme Court effectively letting that lower court
19:17
Speaker 6: decision sit, refusing to take up that case. So there
19:19
Speaker 6: are some decisions that they're making in real time in
19:22
Speaker 6: terms of taking up decisions, the emergency docket. But these
19:25
Speaker 6: cases where they're hearing arguments in its entirety, we're talking
19:29
Speaker 6: about these hour-long arguments, those will likely come through in
19:32
Speaker 6: May or June.
19:33
Speaker 1: Okay. ABC's Peter Harlambus, thanks so much for the information.
19:36
Speaker 1: We'll be talking to you again, I'm sure, because the
19:39
Speaker 1: court's just getting started.
19:42
Speaker 6: Thanks so much.
19:42
Speaker 1: All right.
19:43
Speaker 4: Thanks.
19:43
Speaker 1: With four weeks until the midterm elections, California Attorney General

19:58
Speaker 9: our elections free of unnecessary barriers.
20:00
Speaker 1: Ballots started going out in the mail yesterday. Bonta pointed
20:03
Speaker 1: out that California has fought Several attempts by the Trump
20:07
Speaker 1: administration to change voting rules, but he says it will
20:09
Speaker 1: be business as usual, as he put it this November.
20:13
Speaker 1: He says his office will have attorneys and investigators on
20:16
Speaker 1: call through Election Day to respond to any problems. A
20:20
Speaker 1: guy known as a cryptocurrency godfather has been sentenced to
20:23
Speaker 1: more than six years in prison on conspiracy and other charges.
20:26
Speaker 1: Adam Iza, who lived in Beverly Hills and Newport Beach,
20:29
Speaker 1: was arrested. a self-styled crypto businessman who hired off-duty L.A.
20:33
Speaker 1: County Sheriff's deputies to be his personal enforcers against his enemies.
20:37
Speaker 1: Federal prosecutors say Iza had the deputies help him carry

Speaker 1: County health officials say a raccoon that's tested positive for
20:52
Speaker 1: rabies has been found in a backyard in Westlake Village.
20:55
Speaker 1: It's the first confirmed rabid raccoon in the county. Since 1973,
21:01
Speaker 1: the Department of Public Health says the animal looked like
21:03
Speaker 1: it was sick, but it wasn't aggressive. Officials say four
21:07
Speaker 1: people at a nearby work site may have been exposed
21:10
Speaker 1: to the raccoon. They're getting recommended follow-up rabies treatment. President
21:15
Speaker 1: Trump has approved execution by firing squad for Army Major
21:20
Speaker 1: Nidal Hassan. He was convicted in a mass shooting at
21:24
Speaker 1: Fort Hood, Texas in 2009. ABC's Jim Ryan says Hassan
21:28
Speaker 1: killed 13 people and injured more than 30, claiming he
21:32
Speaker 1: did it to stop soldiers from going to Afghanistan.
21:35
Speaker 6: He was tried in a military court and sentenced to die,
21:38
Speaker 6: but is still sitting on death row.
21:41
Speaker 1: The U.S. military hasn't carried out the death penalty since 1961.
21:45
Speaker 1: A Pentagon spokesperson says the Army secretary will decide the
21:49
Speaker 1: time and the place for the execution. Former American Idol
21:53
Speaker 1: contestant Caleb Flynn has been sentenced in Ohio to life
21:56
Speaker 1: in prison for the murder of his wife. He was
21:59
Speaker 1: convicted last week of killing Ashley Flynn and making it
22:01
Speaker 1: look like it was a home invasion. Prosecutors argued Caleb
22:05
Speaker 1: Flynn was having an affair at the time. The judge
22:07
Speaker 1: handed down the sentence yesterday.
22:09
Speaker 7: Your actions, Mr.
22:10
Speaker 3: Flynn, were abhorrent.
22:12
Speaker 1: The layers of deceit, manipulation, and cruelty that you.
22:17
Speaker 7: Have shown are quite honestly impossible to fathom.
22:21
Speaker 1: Flynn made a statement before sentencing and admitted he lied
22:24
Speaker 1: about many things, but was still adamant that he did
22:27
Speaker 1: not kill his wife. Starbucks is being sued for being
22:31
Speaker 1: too sweet.
22:32
Speaker 10: Starbucks faces a consumer lawsuit over claims the protein drinks
22:36
Speaker 10: labeled as sugar-free on its cafe menus may actually contain
22:39
Speaker 10: more sugar than a Reese's peanut butter cup. The federal
22:42
Speaker 10: lawsuit alleges Starbucks sells eight protein beverages in the U.S.
22:45
Speaker 10: that are marketed as sugar-free but contain various amounts of sugar.
22:49
Speaker 10: Starbucks says that the sugar in the drinks comes from
22:52
Speaker 10: the protein-boosted milk it uses. The company says it doesn't
22:56
Speaker 10: add sugar to the drinks and it uses sugar-free syrup
22:58
Speaker 10: for flavoring. Debra Mark, KFI News.
23:02
Speaker 1: The massive Paramount-Warner Brothers merger is expected to close today.
23:07
Speaker 1: The new company will be called Skydance. Officials have announced
23:11
Speaker 1: that David Ellison will serve as the chairman and CEO.
23:15
Speaker 1: Andy Gordon will serve as Skydance president. David Zasloff, the
23:19
Speaker 1: president and chief executive of Warner Brothers Discovery, bid farewell
23:23
Speaker 1: to the company's employees yesterday in a video.
23:27
Speaker 3: L.A.
23:27
Speaker 1: Says more driverless cars are crashing in the county. Waymo
23:29
Speaker 1: reported 219 crashes in L.A. County last year. That's more
23:34
Speaker 1: than triple the number in 2024. And so far this year,
23:38
Speaker 1: there have been 186 Waymo crashes. More than 80 percent
23:41
Speaker 1: had no apparent injuries, with many happening while the vehicles
23:45
Speaker 1: were stopped. It comes with Amazon's Zoox now testing its
23:50
Speaker 1: autonomous vehicles in L.A.
23:51
Speaker 7: The L.A.
23:52
Speaker 1: Lakers have hired Darren Horton as their new public address announcer.
23:57
Speaker 1: He steps into the role following the death of L.A.
23:59
Speaker 1: 's longtime P.A. announcer Lawrence Tantor, who did the job
24:03
Speaker 1: for the past 43 seasons. Horton's a longtime L.A. sports
24:07
Speaker 1: anchor and reporter, most recently working for KTLA. Your first
24:11
Speaker 1: chance to hear him is at the preseason home opener
24:15
Speaker 1: against the Kings on Thursday night. It's 6.05, and that
24:21
Speaker 1: means it's Handel on the News coming up. Handel's not here.
24:24
Speaker 1: He's dancing with the indigenous folks in Africa.
24:28
Speaker 6: Looking very funny.
24:29
Speaker 1: Oh, it's a blast. You know what, though? I've done that.
24:31
Speaker 1: It's a great experience. Really fun. So anyway, Neil Saavedra's
24:34
Speaker 1: at the helm. Handel on the News coming up at 6.05.
24:38
Speaker 1: Here's what's coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. As
24:41
Speaker 1: this blistering heat wave continues, we could see pretty big
24:44
Speaker 1: weather records shattered today.
24:46
Speaker 2: We've had four days in a row of 100-degree temperatures
24:48
Speaker 2: in downtown Los Angeles. If temps top 100 today, that
24:51
Speaker 2: would be the longest triple-digit temp streak ever in downtown.
24:55
Speaker 2: It's never been this hot that long in the months
24:57
Speaker 2: you would expect it to be hottest, August, July, maybe
24:59
Speaker 2: even September. The record was tied yesterday. And if the
25:02
Speaker 2: record is set today, it could keep going. The current
25:04
Speaker 2: heat wave is expected to continue through Thursday. It should
25:07
Speaker 2: cool down this weekend, with significantly cooler temps next week.
25:11
Speaker 2: Jason Athens in KFI News.
25:14
Speaker 1: The Trump administration's taking what it says is enforcement action
25:18
Speaker 1: against the L.A. school district for policies it alleges require
25:22
Speaker 1: staff to keep sensitive information, such as students' gender identity,
25:27
Speaker 1: hidden from parents. The Department of Education says the school
25:30
Speaker 1: district's parental secrecy policies allow students to make life-altering decisions
25:35
Speaker 1: without their parents knowing. Student organizations have protested at Cornell
25:39
Speaker 1: University calling for sexual assault prevention. It comes as the
25:43
Speaker 1: university deals with fallout from the way it handled allegations
25:46
Speaker 1: of a gang rape on campus in 2024. We are Cornell.
25:49
Speaker 10: We say enough is enough and we demand justice for
25:53
Speaker 10: Jane Doe.
25:59
Speaker 1: New York Governor Kathy Hochul last week appointed a special
26:02
Speaker 1: prosecutor to investigate the case after local prosecutors said declined
26:06
Speaker 1: to bring charges. It's pumpkin carving season. That means about
26:10
Speaker 1: 2,000 people are going to have to make a trip
26:12
Speaker 1: to the ER this year.
26:13
Speaker 3: Halloween comes with blood and gore, and that's great as
26:16
Speaker 3: long as it's not from you. The National Institutes of
26:19
Speaker 3: Health says pumpkin carving can lead to lacerations, severed tendons,
26:23
Speaker 3: even accidental digit amputation. And it's usually from the slip
26:27
Speaker 3: of a knife. But experts say there's an easy solution.
26:31
Speaker 3: Ditch the kitchen knife and reach for the carving kit
26:33
Speaker 3: with a saw. They're statistically safer and you'll be less
26:37
Speaker 3: apt to bleed. Bree Tennis, KFI News.
26:41
Speaker 1: You know what, Terry Harden, she's a former Disney Imagineer.
26:45
Speaker 1: She has a pumpkin carving video and she has a
26:49
Speaker 1: set of pumpkin carving tools. You're not going to cut
26:51
Speaker 1: your hands off at those. Yeah, it's very cool.
26:54
Speaker 11: Wow.
26:55
Speaker 1: In fact, she taught me how to carve a pumpkin
26:58
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago for Halloween. We did an
27:00
Speaker 1: out and about segment. I'm going to have to go
27:02
Speaker 1: revisit that because she actually helped me make something that
27:04
Speaker 1: looked very cool. Time to get in your business now
27:08
Speaker 1: with Bloomberg. Today, we are talking to Matt Piper. Good morning, Pat.
27:13
Speaker 7: Matt.
27:16
Speaker 6: That's OK.
27:16
Speaker 11: Call me whatever you want, Amy.
27:17
Speaker 5: Good morning.
27:18
Speaker 1: I'll call you Denise Pellegrini then.
27:21
Speaker 6: Sure.
27:22
Speaker 1: Yes.
27:23
Speaker 2: I can pretend like I'm Denise.
27:24
Speaker 3: Why not?
27:24
Speaker 1: Hey, so, Matt, we've got OpenAI apologizing again. How come?
27:30
Speaker 3: Yeah.
27:31
Speaker 11: So it's apologizing to Australia. So OpenAI, it's for this
27:35
Speaker 11: artificial intelligence model breaching Australian government websites. Now, it's pledging
27:39
Speaker 11: to work to prevent similar incidents and to respond faster
27:43
Speaker 11: if they do happen again in the future. A San
27:45
Speaker 11: Francisco-based company last month said it would fund cyber defenses
27:49
Speaker 11: in Australia and help manage the risk of increasingly capable AI.
27:53
Speaker 11: After what was the first known such attack on government systems,
27:57
Speaker 11: this of course all comes after several AI company leaders
28:00
Speaker 11: have urged slowing the pace of the development of the
28:02
Speaker 11: technology to address its increasingly unpredictable risks.
28:06
Speaker 1: Unpredictable. Okay, this one caught my eye because we know
28:10
Speaker 1: that LeBron James gets paid a whole lot of money
28:13
Speaker 1: to play basketball. But there's a place he's making more
28:16
Speaker 1: money than on the basketball court.
28:19
Speaker 2: That's right.
28:20
Speaker 11: So LeBron signed an endorsement deal with Polymarket that front
28:23
Speaker 11: office sports reported is worth $ 15 million a year. Now,
28:27
Speaker 11: this season, he's actually not making as much as you
28:28
Speaker 11: might think. He's expected to earn $ 3. 9 million for playing basketball.
28:33
Speaker 11: That means one of the greatest players of the sport.
28:36
Speaker 11: will make nearly four times as much promoting a prediction
28:39
Speaker 11: market as he will playing hoops. And this summer, he
28:42
Speaker 11: was the product. Contracts on where he would play next
28:45
Speaker 11: drew more than $ 270 million to prediction markets, including more
28:50
Speaker 11: than $ 45 million on Polymarket.
28:54
Speaker 1: It just seems something inherently wrong about endorsing something where
28:56
Speaker 1: you're betting on your game, but that's just me. Speaking
29:00
Speaker 1: of big money, Elon Musk is a trillionaire again.
29:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he is.
29:05
Speaker 11: He's doing better than all of us. He jumped by
29:07
Speaker 11: $ 65 billion yesterday to now, I know, $ 1. 04 trillion, according
29:14
Speaker 11: to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. It's as the value of
29:17
Speaker 11: his stakes in SpaceX and Tesla rose. SpaceX shares are
29:20
Speaker 11: up 13% since the start of the month. Tesla is
29:23
Speaker 11: up 6.7% this month.
29:26
Speaker 4: Sweet.
29:27
Speaker 1: Okay, today, oh, it's not only Taco Tuesday, it's National
29:30
Speaker 1: Taco Day.
29:32
Speaker 11: Isn't that perfect that it falls on a Tuesday? I mean,
29:34
Speaker 11: why not? And there are deals to be had. Taco Bell,
29:38
Speaker 11: get a free Duolingo by Taco Bell. plush in the
29:41
Speaker 11: app after 2 p.m. Pacific time. Jack in the Box,
29:44
Speaker 11: two free tacos with a $ 1 purchase also in app.
29:49
Speaker 11: Del Taco, snack tacos are 60 cents each. You can
29:52
Speaker 11: get up to five. The caveat once again, In the app.
29:55
Speaker 11: So for most of these, you can't just do the drive-thru.
29:57
Speaker 11: You got to go in the app, try and download something.
29:59
Speaker 11: They get all your information and then you get a
30:01
Speaker 11: free taco.
30:02
Speaker 6: Okay.
30:02
Speaker 1: So my favorite little place is Paquito Moss down the street.
30:05
Speaker 1: I wonder if they have any taco day specials.
30:09
Speaker 11: You might have to call them and maybe Habla Español.
30:12
Speaker 1: Well, we're in trouble there. Matt Piper with Bloomberg. Thanks
30:16
Speaker 1: so much getting in your business as we do each
30:18
Speaker 1: weekday morning. We'll talk to you soon.
30:20
Speaker 7: All right.
30:20
Speaker 11: Thanks.
30:20
Speaker 3: All right.
30:22
Speaker 1: The massive Paramount Warner Brothers merger is expected to close today.
30:27
Speaker 1: The new company will be called Skydance. David Ellison will
30:31
Speaker 1: still be the chairman and or not still be. He'll
30:33
Speaker 1: be the chairman and CEO. Andy Gordon will be Skydance president.
30:38
Speaker 1: Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein will lead the motion picture group.
30:43
Speaker 1: CNN's chief Mark Thompson will remain the chairman and editor
30:47
Speaker 1: in chief of the news network. and Bari Weiss will
30:50
Speaker 1: remain editor-in-chief of CBS News. A group of doctors and
30:54
Speaker 1: health insurers has sued Governor Newsom. It claims Newsom and
30:58
Speaker 1: the California legislature violated the law by approving a health
31:02
Speaker 1: care tax that could significantly increase insurance premiums. The lawsuit
31:06
Speaker 1: argues a recently passed-on health plan that it plans to
31:12
Speaker 1: circumvent a 2024 initiative that limits health care taxes is
31:16
Speaker 1: and directs revenue toward specific purposes. Some of country music's
31:21
Speaker 1: biggest names will be gathering in Nashville for a live
31:24
Speaker 1: tribute to Dolly Parton. The Country Music Association says Reba McEntire,
31:29
Speaker 1: Carrie Underwood, and Kelsey Ballerini are among about 20 artists
31:34
Speaker 1: who are going to take part in the October 21st
31:36
Speaker 1: show at Belmont University. The two-hour special will air on
31:42
Speaker 1: ABC and Disney Plus live I think I'll be sitting
31:48
Speaker 1: at my TV and watching that one for sure. Let's
31:52
Speaker 1: say good morning now to the Komen Foundation's Nisha Jaime.
31:56
Speaker 1: Good morning, Nisha. Oh, hold on. Kono's got to push
32:03
Speaker 1: the button. There we go. Good morning, Nisha.
32:05
Speaker 4: Hi, good morning. How are you?
32:07
Speaker 1: I'm great. Thanks so much for getting up early to
32:09
Speaker 1: tell us about National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And the
32:15
Speaker 1: Komen Foundation obviously is integral in getting the word out
32:20
Speaker 1: about breast cancer awareness. What's the message that Komen wants
32:24
Speaker 1: all women to get this month?
32:27
Speaker 4: We're really wanting everyone to know that early detection and,
32:32
Speaker 4: you know, getting your screenings is key, you know, all
32:35
Speaker 4: the time and especially during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We
32:39
Speaker 4: want to make sure that everybody knows what their normal
32:42
Speaker 4: is and what abnormal is. And we're having our More
32:45
Speaker 4: Than Pink Walk this Sunday, October 25th at Los Angeles
32:49
Speaker 4: State Historic Park. And we're inviting everybody to come support
32:53
Speaker 4: the breast cancer community. We're going to have an awesome
32:56
Speaker 4: event where everybody can support each other, hear stories of
33:01
Speaker 4: strength and resilience. and just, you know, be out there
33:04
Speaker 4: to really raise some critical funds that are needed for
33:09
Speaker 4: breast cancer research and to hopefully help, you know, people
33:14
Speaker 4: get more access to life-saving breast cancer treatments and so
33:18
Speaker 4: much other stuff like financial assistance, emotional support, everything that
33:22
Speaker 4: comes along with the journey of a breast cancer.
33:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, because isn't a big part of this when you
33:27
Speaker 1: come out, when you get this diagnosis, it can be devastating.
33:31
Speaker 1: And having community around you to support you is a
33:35
Speaker 1: huge part of getting better and successfully battling it.
33:41
Speaker 4: It really is. I was diagnosed with stage two breast
33:44
Speaker 4: cancer in the summer of 2022. I was completely shocked
33:48
Speaker 4: and devastated. I was a mom to young kids. And
33:51
Speaker 4: it's really scary, not only the treatment, but also just
33:54
Speaker 4: wondering if you're going to survive. And so to really
33:58
Speaker 4: be around other survivors and people that have walked the journey,
34:02
Speaker 4: you get that strength.
34:04
Speaker 6: And that support.
34:06
Speaker 4: And you see other survivors that are long-term survivors, 10 years,
34:09
Speaker 4: 20 years, and you're like, If they can do it,
34:12
Speaker 4: you know, so can I. And they're just kind of
34:14
Speaker 4: like your roadmap. And so it's really that community support.
34:17
Speaker 4: It's everything, you know, it's everything during that dark time.
34:20
Speaker 6: Yeah.
34:21
Speaker 1: And Nisha, you said you were diagnosed in 2022. How
34:23
Speaker 1: did you find out?
34:26
Speaker 4: So I found a lump right beneath my collarbone. You know,
34:30
Speaker 4: I was just taking my kids out to the pool,
34:32
Speaker 4: readjusting my straps for my bathing suit, and I.
34:35
Speaker 6: Felt a lump.
34:36
Speaker 4: And I didn't waste any time. I went to my
34:39
Speaker 4: doctor for a walk-in mammogram a couple of days later,
34:42
Speaker 4: and the ball, you know, rolled really fast. Got the mammogram.
34:46
Speaker 4: They asked me to do an ultrasound. I went to
34:49
Speaker 4: a biopsy. And, you know, within, I believe, two weeks,
34:52
Speaker 4: I got my diagnosis. And then after that, it was
34:55
Speaker 4: 18 months of, you know, harsh treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy.
35:00
Speaker 3: Radiation.
35:01
Speaker 4: And, you know, it was a long road, but today
35:04
Speaker 4: I'm really grateful to be a three-year breast cancer survivor.
35:08
Speaker 4: And that's why it's really important for everybody to be
35:12
Speaker 4: aware of, you know, their bodies. And if you notice
35:15
Speaker 4: something abnormal, you really, you know, you can't wait. You
35:18
Speaker 4: have to get to your doctor and make sure that
35:20
Speaker 4: you get your screenings and the mammograms right away. Yeah.
35:24
Speaker 1: And you mentioned that you had stage two, which no
35:27
Speaker 1: cancer is good cancer. Stage two is much better than three.
35:30
Speaker 1: And of course, way better than four. So I, you know,
35:33
Speaker 1: and that's, I think it's interesting that you say that
35:36
Speaker 1: they move fast. I know that one time I had
35:38
Speaker 1: a mammogram a few years ago and they were like,
35:41
Speaker 1: they called me and said, you need to come in now.
35:44
Speaker 1: And I was, panicking of course but you said they
35:46
Speaker 1: move fast and they do if they find something and
35:49
Speaker 1: it turned out to be nothing luckily but if they
35:51
Speaker 1: find anything man they are on it and like get
35:54
Speaker 1: in here now and we want to get it diagnosed
35:56
Speaker 1: get it taken care of if we need to you
35:58
Speaker 1: know so I think that that's one of the very
36:01
Speaker 1: cool things because a lot of times there are other
36:03
Speaker 1: things where you know it seems like doctors kind of
36:05
Speaker 1: drag their feet not maybe not intentionally or something like
36:07
Speaker 1: this but this one they they get on it when
36:09
Speaker 1: it when something's not normal so that's good.
36:12
Speaker 4: They do yeah yeah they do And that's very good. So,
36:16
Speaker 4: so yeah, so it's just very important, you know, for
36:19
Speaker 4: everybody to be aware of what's normal for them. And,
36:22
Speaker 4: you know, I know a lot of people kind of
36:24
Speaker 4: have different relationships with doctors and sometimes they don't want
36:27
Speaker 4: to go, you know, they put off the screenings, but really,
36:30
Speaker 4: we really want to drive home the fact that early
36:32
Speaker 4: detection is, you know, the best case scenario for any
36:36
Speaker 4: type of cancer. And so just don't wait, you know,
36:39
Speaker 4: make sure you're getting all those screenings in the proper timeline.
36:42
Speaker 1: And what's the recommended age for the baseline? Is it
36:44
Speaker 1: 40 still, Anisha, or is it younger now?
36:47
Speaker 4: It is 40.
36:48
Speaker 1: Okay. So if you haven't had one yet, I know
36:51
Speaker 1: that a lot of people say, oh, my gosh, it's so,
36:54
Speaker 1: the mammogram, it's so hard. And I'm like, it is not.
36:57
Speaker 11: It is.
36:59
Speaker 6: You know, it really is not.
37:00
Speaker 4: I think it's just that mental barrier that you have
37:02
Speaker 4: to get through, you know, and you go in there
37:05
Speaker 4: and you just, you know, it could save your life,
37:07
Speaker 4: you know. Yeah, it's uncomfortable. It's not, you know, it's
37:10
Speaker 4: not like a great thing to have to go through,
37:12
Speaker 4: but yeah. in the long run, you know, you're, you
37:16
Speaker 4: could potentially be saving your life. So just a little
37:18
Speaker 4: bit of uncomfortability for a couple of minutes, I think,
37:21
Speaker 4: I think it's well worth it.
37:23
Speaker 8: Yep.
37:23
Speaker 1: Catching early is key. And, you know, being a colon
37:26
Speaker 1: cancer survivor myself, you know, you got to catch it,
37:29
Speaker 1: you got to get rid of it, and then you
37:31
Speaker 1: can go on and live the rest of your life,
37:33
Speaker 1: but you got to find out if you have it first.
37:35
Speaker 1: So getting that, those mammograms is key. Any final messages?
37:40
Speaker 7: Yeah.
37:42
Speaker 4: No, just, you know, we would love for everybody to
37:43
Speaker 4: come out and join us on October 25th at the
37:46
Speaker 4: More Than Pink Walk. You know, it's a wonderful place
37:50

37:57
Speaker 4: to be a one mile walk, but people can go
37:59
Speaker 4: around the walk three times, we're going to have food,
38:03

39:18
Speaker 1: Oh, we don't have time to get back to some
39:20
Speaker 1: of the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
39:22
Speaker 1: That's it. Party's over. Okay, we're going to do two.
39:26
Speaker 2: Here's one.
39:27
Speaker 1: President Trump has been criticized for suggesting Iran could take
39:30
Speaker 1: out cities in California if the U.S. didn't stop Iran
39:32
Speaker 1: from getting a nuclear weapon. He said it yesterday while
39:35
Speaker 1: talking about the high cost of gas.
39:36
Speaker 8: It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay.
39:40
Speaker 8: For keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They
39:42
Speaker 8: can take out a city. Let him take let let
39:45
Speaker 8: him take out Los Angeles. Let him take out San Diego.
39:49
Speaker 1: His comments during a campaign rally in Nebraska drew immediate
39:52
Speaker 1: responses from leaders who implied that Trump was telling Iran
39:55
Speaker 1: to bomb the cities. L.A. Mayor Bass says in her words,
39:58
Speaker 1: his statements against our city are dangerous and could potentially
40:01
Speaker 1: compromise our safety. San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria wrote on X,
40:05
Speaker 1: we are not expendable. We are never a small price
40:09
Speaker 1: to pay. Keep our city out of your reckless war talk.
40:14
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court has heard a major climate change case
40:17
Speaker 1: out of Colorado against major oil companies, ABC's Devin Dwyer
40:21
Speaker 1: says officials in Boulder want ExxonMobil and Suncor Energy to
40:24
Speaker 1: pay for increased spending to offset the effects of climate change.
40:28
Speaker 9: The companies say this whole thing is a dubious theory.
40:30
Speaker 9: And they basically say, look, I mean, the attempt of
40:33
Speaker 9: Boulder County in the city of Boulder to pin the
40:36
Speaker 9: impacts of climate change on us is a bridge too far.
40:40
Speaker 1: The companies also say Congress has basically tasked the EPA
40:44
Speaker 1: with regulating emissions, not each individual state. And worldwide life
40:48
Speaker 1: expectancy is almost back to pre-COVID pandemic levels.
40:53
Speaker 10: The World Health Organization is releasing a report on global
40:56
Speaker 10: health estimates, and it shows the average person lived to
40:59
Speaker 10: 73.3 years in 2023. Life expectancy was 73.4 years just
41:06
Speaker 10: prior to the pandemic in 2019. Non-communicable diseases accounted for
41:11
Speaker 10: about three quarters of deaths in 2023, much higher than
41:15
Speaker 10: the 58% in 2000. Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause
41:20
Speaker 10: of death. Debra Mark, KFI News.
