  Speaker 1: That 49ers game yesterday, that was a great one. What
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a game in Seattle.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: 32-29.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: A real nail-biter. And then, of course, the Dodgers in
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the National League Championship Series. Okay, so they lost yesterday,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: but they got another chance today. So we're going to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: send out positive vibes. A cool, sometimes rainy weekend. That
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: was so great. I just loved it. I loved it.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Such a nice change. And I will tell you, driving
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: into work this morning, My car, like you have the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: thermostat set. So for the last month or so, I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: get in the car and the air conditioner comes on
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: full blast. This morning, the heater came on. I was like, oh,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: my toes are nice and toasty. And I'm especially focusing
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: on happy thoughts today because every six months I get
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a little checkup to make sure everything is still good
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: after the big C, which was six years ago now.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: So happy thoughts are imperative today.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Because we get a checkup. Hit us up on the talkback.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Tell us something good that's going on as we start
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: this work week, because there's got to be good stuff. Like,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: here's something good. Tony Sorrentino's here, halfway awake. Morning, Tony.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: He's board hopping for us today. Of course, Ann is here.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Will's here. The whole gang. And we're ready to go. Again,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: hit us up on the talkback on the iHeartRadio app.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: It's that little microphone in the upper right-hand corner. Tell
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: us something good this Monday. Here's what's ahead on Wake
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Up Call. Long Beach and Newport Beach are still being
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: pounded by big waves and flooding. But post-tropical cyclone Rachel
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: has moved through the region. The flooding isn't as bad
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: as it was over the weekend. That's when it hit
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: its peak. Newport Beach has erected a line of sand
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: berms on the beach. Those held through yesterday morning. Evacuation
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: warnings and orders have been downgraded. For people who live
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: near a fire burning in Santa Clarita, fire crews continue
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to make progress on it. The bike fire started yesterday
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: afternoon around Cabria Estates Lane and Raven Hill Road near
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Sand Canyon and Placerita Canyon Roads. It grew to about
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: 172 acres. It's now almost 70% surrounded. See, that's good.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: That's positive. The main airport in Riyadh has been hit
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: by a second missile attack in two days. A Saudi
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: military spokesman says a projectile hit King Khalid International Airport.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: starting a fire and causing injuries. President Trump said on
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Saturday the U.S. is considering its response after a strike
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: on that same airport killed 13 people, including one American.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: More than 300 people were injured. The war between Russia
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and Ukraine rages on, but there may be one thing
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: President Trump has gotten both sides to agree on. ABC's
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Olivia Rupin is going to join us to tell us
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: what that is in just a couple of minutes. Why
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: is President Trump calling you? Well, he may not be,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: but ABC's Jim Ryan says it might sound like he is.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Jim's going to join us a little bit later on
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Wake Up Call. And are the Sunday scaries real? ABC's
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Sherry Preston says they are. She's going to tell us
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: what they are. You might not even know what they are,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: but there's a good chance you've got them. That's coming up, too,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: on Wake Up Call. Let's get started with some of
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. More
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: than a dozen homes in Long Beach have been red-tagged.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: because of damage caused by what was Hurricane Rachel.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: We had our building engineers out there assessing the damage.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: We continue to have eight of those structures or 13
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: addresses that are in red tag status. We have nine
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: structures that are evacuated, put an evacuation order in place,
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: and we had 39 that were put in an evacuation warning.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Assistant Fire Chief Jake Heflin tells KTLA he understands People
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: want to go home and get their belongings, but he
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: says it's just not safe. He says some homes are
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: in danger of collapsing. The high surf could be bad
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: for cars in places like Newport, Laguna, and Long Beach.
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: AAA is reminding drivers that seawater can damage engines, wiring,
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: and electronics, with some problems showing up weeks or months later.
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: Experts say not to attempt to drive a vehicle if
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: any part of the undercarriage has touched saltwater. It's even
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: riskier for electric and hybrid vehicles with the possibility of
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: electrical shorts, shock, or battery fires. Vehicles that have been
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: in contact with seawater should be towed to a mechanic
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: for inspection. Eileen Gonzalez, KFI News.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Have you noticed? Halloween candy is more expensive this year.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Federal data shows candy prices jumped 8% in August. But
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: that doesn't seem to be stopping anyone from stocking up.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: The National Retail Federation says shoppers are expected to spend
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: $ 4 billion on Halloween candy, with nearly all Halloween shoppers
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: planning to buy at least some. I've bought some. My
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: little bowl of Halloween candy is getting smaller every day.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, it's still a couple weeks away,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: isn't it, Amy?
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI AM640.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to ABC's Olivia Rubin. So, Olivia,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the war between Russia and Ukraine just rages on. But
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: there might be one thing that President Trump has gotten
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the two sides to agree on. What is that?
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: That is potentially the case. The president announcing that there
• 6:11
  Speaker 8: would be an energy ceasefire in the war between Russia
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: and Ukraine. He said both parties had agreed and he said,
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: do not break it. However, there were some new questions
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: raised after that statement. We're told by a source in
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: Zelensky's presidential office that he was not aware of that
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: energy ceasefire with Russia ahead of time and actually learned
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: about it from social media. However, Zelensky Zelensky did do
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: an interview with ABC where he said he was open
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: to the deal. He said it's not the best deal,
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: but that it would be a good deal. He said
• 6:42
  Speaker 8: the best deal, of course, would be an end to
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: the war, but that if Russia were going to abide
• 6:46
  Speaker 8: by this ceasefire, then Ukraine would do the same. However,
• 6:50
  Speaker 8: Soon after that interview, Zelensky coming out and saying that
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: Russia had not followed the ceasefire, but that they had
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: launched a targeted strike on a power plant in Ukraine,
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: causing further damage to the energy system. He said sort
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: of cheekily, it was clear that Putin does not read
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: truth social, indicating that in his mind, Putin was not
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: following the ceasefire. So, again, going into Monday morning with
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: a lot of questions about where the ceasefire stands.
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: And and, Olivia, both sides. Are targeting energy facilities. Is
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: that correct? Right.
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: That's correct. And really, that's sort of contributing to these prices.
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: Zelensky saying that they would stop hitting those sites if
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: Putin agreed to stop hitting those sites. But what he
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: said that President Trump was not talking about was that
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: the other aspect that is driving up prices for Americans,
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: and that is the war in Iran, that is the
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: crush on the Strait of Hormuz because of the war
• 7:45
  Speaker 8: that is going on there and those sort of halt
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: to oil flow in that part of the country. He
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: said that that was essentially sort of the part that
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: President Trump didn't want to talk about. So, again, a
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: lot more going on here than just Russia and Ukraine.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. And then do you know, because I know that
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: in the early days of the war, there was a
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: lot of talk about that nuclear power plant in Ukraine,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Is that and it was
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: a huge concern that that was going to get targeted
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and create some sort of a nuclear disaster. Do we
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: know if that has happened? been stabilized? Does it still
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: kind of come under fire or do we have any
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: idea what's going on there?
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: You know, I don't know the latest. I can definitely
• 8:29
  Speaker 8: check on that and specifically where Zelensky said the strike
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: overnight from Russia allegedly was, if it was near that.
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: But as of now, I don't have the exact specifics there.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's fine. I know I kind of caught you
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: off guard on that one. Olivia Rubin, thank you so
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: much for the information. We'll see if maybe the two
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: sides will at least... Stop firing at energy plants and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: see what happens next.
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: We shall see. As Zelensky said, you know, he said
• 8:57
  Speaker 8: it wouldn't be the best deal, but it would be
• 8:58
  Speaker 8: a good deal. And he was hopeful that it could
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: potentially lead to a broader ceasefire deal between the two sides.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: All right. Olivia Rubin, thank you so much for your information.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Thanks.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: All right. Let's get back to some of the stories
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Remnants of Hurricane
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Isaias have caused heavy rain and flooding risks in parts
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: of the Central Appalachians and the Mid-Atlantic region. ABC's Sophie
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Flay says the storm hit Florida as a Category 2
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: hurricane over the weekend.
• 9:30
  Speaker 10: Winds topping 100 miles per hour in Pensacola, Florida. In
• 9:34
  Speaker 10: nearby Milton, homes destroyed. At least four people killed as
• 9:39
  Speaker 10: the storm's remnants barrel up the East Coast. And in
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: North Carolina, multiple twisters confirmed. One Raleigh resident says he
• 9:47
  Speaker 10: ran for cover just before the roof caved in.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Flash flooding and mudslides were also reported. It's amazing to
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: me how you think that the whole state is going
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to be inundated when a hurricane happens.
• 10:00
  Speaker 11: Through.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: But I have a friend who used to live here
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: in Southern California. He recently moved with his family to
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Winter Park, I believe it's called. And it's just north
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: of Orlando. He said, we got some light rain. That
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: was about it. So hopefully the damage isn't too horrible.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Hurricane Simon has hit Mexico's Pacific Coast as a Category
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: 3 storm. Its eye remains offshore, but powerful winds and
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: rain are hitting areas between Mexico's Sierra Madre and the ocean.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: The U.S. National Hurricane Center is warned of catastrophic wind,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: life-threatening storm surges and heavy rainfall. Authorities have suspended classes
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and evacuated at-risk areas. A fourth attack on an international
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: airport in Saudi Arabia has killed one person and injured
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: 11 others. Saudi authorities say the person killed yesterday was
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: a Pakistani national. Twelve people were killed Saturday when a
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: missile hit the airport in Riyadh. More than 300 others
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: were hurt. ABC's Karen Hua says Iran-backed Houthi rebels in
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: neighboring Yemen have claimed responsibility for the attacks.
• 11:02
  Speaker 12: The Houthis now warn nearly every Saudi airport is a, quote,
• 11:06
  Speaker 12: theater of operations. The FAA is urging airlines to be
• 11:10
  Speaker 12: careful when flying over Saudi Arabia, calling the situation potentially
• 11:13
  Speaker 12: hazardous at any altitude.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: The Houthis have also been working to restrict oil shipments
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: through the Red Sea. A top House Republican is defending
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: President Trump's plan to buy diesel fuel from Russia. Trump
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: says the purchase will lower fuel prices, but experts question
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: how much relief Americans will see. House Majority Whip Tom
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Emmer says the president is thinking outside the box to
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: get a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine that puts
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Americans first.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, he is the president of peace.
• 11:42
  Speaker 9: He's two steps ahead of the press all the time.
• 11:45
  Speaker 9: He's thinking about how you get these conflicts resolved.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: The deal is drawing bipartisan criticism from lawmakers because of U.S.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: sanctions on Russian oil over the war in Ukraine. Convicted
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: killer Krista Pike has been returned to prison in Tennessee
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: after more than a week in the hospital That followed
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: her botched execution. Her lawyers say she's now getting medical
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: care in prison. They say they're still worried about lasting
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: psychological and cognitive effects. The governor of Tennessee has ordered
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: an outside review and paused the state's remaining scheduled execution
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: this year. Michigan's Democratic Senate nominee says his party needs
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: to win by overwhelming margins in November to avoid disputes
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: over election results. Abdul Al-Sayed told NBC's Meet the Press
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: he's concerned President Trump and Republican opponent Mike Rogers could
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: challenge a close outcome.
• 12:37
  Speaker 9: So we've got to win by massive enough numbers that
• 12:39
  Speaker 9: it is unquestionable that we won.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Al-Sayed says he's focusing his campaign on health care and
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: economic issues to win over Trump voters. Pope Leo's in
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the hospital after doctors discovered a nodule on his lung.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Vatican officials say Leo, who's 71, is getting treatment and
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: is expected to undergo surgery to remove the lump in
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the coming days.
• 12:59
  Speaker 11: Dr.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Jessica Shepard says advances in medical technology are making it
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: easier to detect small growths in the lungs.
• 13:06
  Speaker 13: That detection rate can be anywhere from 8 to 51 percent. Now,
• 13:10
  Speaker 13: the goal of what he is going through, which is
• 13:13
  Speaker 13: to remove or assess this nodule, is to really differentiate
• 13:17
  Speaker 13: between benign and malignancy.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: The Vatican says Pope Leo's recovery should take about a week.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: It's unclear whether the surgery is going to affect his
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: planned trip to South America next month. You can get

  Speaker 1: That's very sweet. Love the positive things. And have you
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: thought of something positive yet? I kind of had the
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: same vibe that you did. I pulled out a sweater today.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Isn't it nice? Oh, my God, I'm so happy. Yeah,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: it's a nice change.
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Of course, we're going to be back in the 90s
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: by this weekend, so enjoy this. But I dig the
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: rain and the cool temperatures. It's been wonderful. All right,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: here's what we're following in the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Oh,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: speaking of, light rain has fallen on parts of L.A.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: and Orange County. More rain is expected today before skies
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: clear tomorrow. And as the cooler weather moves out, forecasters
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: say Southern California is going to be back in the
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: 80s and 90s by the end of the week. Two
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: children have been shot and killed in the Pico Union
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: area in what may be an attempted murder-suicide. The LAPD
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: says the shooting happened shortly before 1 yesterday afternoon near
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Venice Boulevard and Catalina Street. A 4-year-old boy and 10-year-old
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: girl are dead. The condition of the 30- to 40-year-old
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: man is not known. Police say he did know the
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: children but did not disclose their relationship. Well, Kelly Clarkson
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: has apparently had her very own pretty woman moment.
• 16:59
  Speaker 16: You remember me?
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: No, I'm sorry.
• 17:01
  Speaker 14: I was in here yesterday.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: You wouldn't wait on me? Oh, you work on commission, right?
• 17:06
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Big mistake.
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: Big.
• 17:10
  Speaker 9: Huge.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Huge.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, so the shop Art of Play says Clarkson asked
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: to buy a one-of-a-kind singing and dancing bird. Whatever that is.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: It is apparently used in magic shows and it wasn't
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: for sale. Well, Clarkson says the shop insinuated that she
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: couldn't afford it. The store says it hopes to clear
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: things up with the singer. Clarkson, just like Julia Roberts,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: says the shop missed out on a huge sale.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Huge.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: At 6.05, it's Handel on the news. Yep, the big
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: boy's back. Bill Handel returns after a two-week vacation, and
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about, oh, Trump. Apparently there's
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: an energy ceasefire, but did someone forget to tell Russia
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: and Ukraine about it? Let's say good morning now to
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: ABC's Sherry Preston. Morning, Sherry. Good morning, guys.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: How are you?
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Doing good because it's a Positive Vibes Monday. Apparently there
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: are a lot of.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: Why are you doing my story if it's a Positive Vibes?
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: I thought, oh my goodness.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Well, we got to do... We're balanced. We got to
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: do both sides. So that's why we're talking to you today.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: So apparently a lot of people are suffering from something
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: called the Sunday Scaries. What the heck is that?
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: Well, have you ever on Sunday afternoon suddenly got like
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: a feeling in the pit of your stomach when you
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: remembered you've got stuff to do for work or you've
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: got a big week coming up and you haven't answered
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: emails or you've got a project and your PowerPoint's not
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: quite exactly ready? Well, those are the Sunday scaries. In fact,
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: it's become such a fixture on American weekends that Merriam-Webster
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: recently added the term to its online dictionary. It's actually
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: the Sunday scary, the feeling of anxiety or sadness that
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: one may feel when the weekend is almost over. And
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: I think of what they've got to do for work.
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: Adobe recently interviewed about 1,000 workers, and they found that
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: this is more prevalent among women than men, among younger workers,
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: Gen Z, that age, and among workers who go into
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: the office as opposed to those who still do remote work, say,
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: following the pandemic. And they've looked at it, and they've said, okay,
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: this is a real thing. And they've got some things
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: you can do if you're one of these people that
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: suffers from the Sunday scaries. In fact, the Wall Street
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: Journal had an article this weekend that got us thinking.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: And it was about a woman. One of the things
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: that this woman did so that she could prevent the
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: Sunday scaries is she bought herself an old-school big hourglass.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: It had a kind that you turn over with sand
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: in it. She said, I wanted it to be analog.
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: I didn't want it to be digital because that makes
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: me think even more of work. So she bought it.
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: And she said, every Sunday, I'm going to set that
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: and turn it over. When that hour is done, I'm
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: not going to do anything more with work. I'm going
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: to think about it for a little bit, and then
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: I'm moving on. I think it's something that a lot
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: of people can relate to, these Sunday scaries, but there
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: are things like that that you can do to kind
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: of alleviate that stress and anxiety looking forward to the
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: work week ahead.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Did it say some of the other things, or you
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: just need to sit and meditate?
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, exactly. One of the things that some people
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: said is they said that they try to get their
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: work done on Friday so that they don't have to
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: think about it on Sunday or the week before. Other
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: people say that maybe they're the first ones up in
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: the morning, and so they're going to take that hour
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: when they're drinking their coffee to kind of plan their
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: work week and figure out what they're doing. And others said,
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: you know, it's really important. It might still affect you
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: and your bottom line, but you need to set those boundaries.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: You need to tell people, you know what, I'm not
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: doing this on weekends. I just can't. If you can,
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: the problem with that is, though, we're in this so-called low-hire,
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: low-fire work environment right now where companies are not really
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: laying people off, but they're also not experiencing these big
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: rounds of layoffs over and over again. There's been a
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: status quo, and we've been like that for the last two,
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: three years. It's this low-hire, low-fire environment, which means if
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: you do have a job, you want to do it
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: extra well so that you stand out and so that
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: you can keep that job. as opposed to those who
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: are still looking for jobs. So that's something else to
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: keep in mind. I mean, it's just another example of
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: how a lot of us are stressed out these days
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: and they go in anywhere.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's interesting, too, that you said it's
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: more for people who are in person than remote workers.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I wonder if that's because remote workers, it's kind of
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: like there's work that goes on outside office hours when
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: you're remote working. At least there was for me. And
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I wonder if that's so they're not as stressed out
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: on Sunday because it's like, it's just kind of always work.
• 21:47
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I think that.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: That's one of the things that you'll find very common
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: among remote workers where they say, I'm never really off.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: You know, I mean, I have certain hours, like my
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: hours on the clock are from eight to five or
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: whatever they might be. But then what they've got to
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: do is go, OK, well, now somebody might have a
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: late email. Somebody might have a weekend email. Somebody might
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: have a Slack chat, a Teams chat. conversation that's going
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: on it's yeah it's something that you're sort of as
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: you just mentioned always on and that they they keep
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: you know if you don't get the sunday scaries when
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: you don't have to physically go into the office because
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: you're just you're doing the same thing you've got all
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: weekend staying at home and doing.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: It all right so uh basically the lesson in this
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: i think is everybody needs to set parameters Set parameters.
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: Set your boundaries.
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: All right. Even if you're scared of your boss, set
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: your parameters and say, look, you've got to have work-life balance.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's what everybody keeps talking about, and we're
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: still talking about it all these years later.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be nice if we had it, wouldn't it?
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: ABC's Sherry Preston, thank you so much. Have a great day.
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: Take care, guys.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: All right. Parole has been denied again for ex-LAPD detective
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Stephanie Lazarus. She was convicted of killing her former lover's
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: new wife. Sherry Rasmussen had only been married about three
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: months when she was shot to death back in 1986.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Lazarus was convicted in 2012. Her hearing Friday was about
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: four hours long. The two-member parole board found Lazarus was
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: still choosing not to be completely honest with them. One
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: of the candidates for governor has criticized the latest ICE
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: operation in California.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Reports have surfaced online about the op across California. It's
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: said to have started in San Diego, but people on
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: social media are reporting seeing ICE agents all over the state.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Javier Becerra says this is President Trump's way of altering
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: the results of the upcoming election.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: This isn't about public safety.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: He then took a page out of Governor Newsom's playbook.
• 23:41
  Speaker 9: Donald Trump is trying to rig this election by intimidating
• 23:44
  Speaker 9: California voters.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: ICE says for security reasons they don't discuss law enforcement operations.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Jason Campadonia, KFI News.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Automated speed cameras have been installed at four intersections in L.A.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: The first cameras are scheduled to begin operating on October 26th.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Councilwoman Katie Yaroslavsky, who represents District 5, says they were
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: put in at La Brea and First, Fairfax and Clinton,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Melrose and Hayworth, and La Cienega and Pico Boulevards. The
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: cameras are not yet active. Once they are, warnings will
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: automatically be sent to speeders during the first 60 days,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: and after that, drivers will get citations. But because they're
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: considered civil violations rather than moving violations, even if you
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: get a ticket or a citation, it won't ding your
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: driving record with the DMV. A tough start to the
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: NLCS for her boys in blue. The Dodgers lost game
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: one of the championship series to the Brewers 2-1 last

• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Just about time for Dodger playoff baseball again. This afternoon,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: your back-to-back world champion Dodgers take on the Brewers in
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee for Game 2 of the National League Championship Series.

  Speaker 1: live from the Galpin Ford broadcast booth. A little bit
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: later on Wake Up Call, why is President Trump calling you?
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: He may not be. It just might sound like it.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: ABC's Jim Ryan's going to join us a little bit
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: later to tell us more about that.

  Speaker 1: white jeans last week.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's good?
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Well, but thanks to some rubbing alcohol and a little
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: hand soap, it all came out. And they're bright white again.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: What were you writing on your pants?
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: It wasn't intentional.
• 25:43
  Speaker 12: Oh, okay.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I have a Sharpie. I use it at work and
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: it just happened to get all over my pants. And

• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Diego County is suing a 3D printing supplier over ghost guns.
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: The lawsuit is the latest effort to limit the production
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: of 3D printed guns by targeting companies that sell materials
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: to make homemade firearms. It accuses Polymaker of marketing 3D
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: printer filament to people who make firearms that don't have
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: serial numbers so they can't be traced, which is a
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: violation of state law. In February, the San Francisco City

  Speaker 1: allow potential harmful chemicals to be added directly to food
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: without a safety review. A report from Guardian says the

  Speaker 1: food packaging and processing equipment. Scientists are warning that some
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: chemicals can harm brain development and reproductive health, even at
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: extremely low levels. The FDA says the exemption would apply
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: only when there's no significant health risk. Anthropic is reining

• 29:22
  Speaker 1: den north of Simi Valley. National Park Service biologists found
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: and checked out the three-week-old kittens. They say GPS tracking
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: suggested that P-113, who wears a monitoring collar, had been
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: spending an extended period of time in one location, so
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: they went to checkout.
• 29:40
  Speaker 11: Why.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: They hiked up, found the kittens, and gave them a
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: quick check. The two female and one male kittens appear
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: to be healthy. They've even been given names, P141, P142,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: and P143. Very creative. Time to get in your business
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: now with Bloomberg's Erika Herskovitz. Morning, Erika. Good morning, Amy. Okay,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: so Ford stopped making the EF150, the electric version of
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: their very popular truck, but now they might want to
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: rethink that.
• 30:18
  Speaker 16: Well, demand is surging for the electric F-150, Amy. Since
• 30:23
  Speaker 16: the final one rolled off the assembly line last December,
• 30:26
  Speaker 16: it's becoming one of the most sought-after cars in the country.
• 30:29
  Speaker 16: Edmunds.com says the typical Lightning is changing hands in about
• 30:33
  Speaker 16: 20 days in the U.S. versus 44 days for the
• 30:36
  Speaker 16: average used vehicle. And this year, the price has steadily
• 30:39
  Speaker 16: risen to $ 50, 000. It's an increase of 4% since the
• 30:42
  Speaker 16: start of the year. The Lightning's last sticker price when
• 30:46
  Speaker 16: news started at nearly 69,000.
• 30:48
  Speaker 17: Yikes.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: We've got a breakthrough maybe in lung cancer?
• 30:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 30:54
  Speaker 16: Bristol-Myers Squibb experimental drug for treating a rare endocrine cancer
• 30:58
  Speaker 16: and a deadly form of lung disease succeeded in late-stage studies,
• 31:01
  Speaker 16: boosting the pharmaceutical company's new product pipeline. The company said
• 31:05
  Speaker 16: the patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a chronic condition that
• 31:11
  Speaker 16: scars the lungs and makes it difficult to get oxygen
• 31:14
  Speaker 16: into the bloodstream, had their breathing significantly improved after getting
• 31:17
  Speaker 16: a lower dose of the company's new pill. The study
• 31:20
  Speaker 16: was the third and final phase of testing that's required
• 31:24
  Speaker 16: before a new drug approval.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: And who is that, Bristol?
• 31:28
  Speaker 16: Bristol-Myers Squibb.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would imagine their stock might do very good
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: with that news. And AI data center water use is growing.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: And that's a problem because it's growing in drought areas. Yeah,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: it's a big problem.
• 31:44
  Speaker 16: Data center developers have started touting new technologies that slash
• 31:48
  Speaker 16: the amount of water needed to cool hot-running servers in
• 31:52
  Speaker 16: drought-stressed places like Arizona. But new research indicates that those
• 31:56
  Speaker 16: efforts are not addressing the vast majority of the water
• 31:58
  Speaker 16: consumed by the AI build-out. Power plants are now consuming
• 32:02
  Speaker 16: enormous volumes of water to generate the electricity required to
• 32:05
  Speaker 16: run AI. University of Michigan researchers estimate water used off-site
• 32:11
  Speaker 16: would boost the total annual consumption of three large AI
• 32:15
  Speaker 16: data centers planned for that state by 14 billion gallons.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Okay. So how about this? When life gives you lemons,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: you make lemonade. At least that's what California wine growers
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: are doing. We were talking about this last week, how
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: there's a real drop in wine production and prices. But
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: now they're switching gears.
• 32:36
  Speaker 16: Yeah, people are drinking less wine. And that couple with
• 32:39
  Speaker 16: the state-imposed water restrictions has California wine growers pivoting. They
• 32:43
  Speaker 16: are now experimenting with making an American version of tequila.
• 32:47
  Speaker 16: Agave is cheaper to plant and cultivate than grapes, requires
• 32:51
  Speaker 16: less water and maintenance, and is being considered as an
• 32:54
  Speaker 16: alternative crop by farmers. Any alcoholic beverage made from California
• 32:58
  Speaker 16: agave cannot be called tequila, though, or mezcal due to
• 33:02
  Speaker 16: rules on denomination of origin. So California spirit makers are
• 33:05
  Speaker 16: looking to put their own spin on agave and create
• 33:08
  Speaker 16: something new.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, so this has me thinking about going to Paso
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Robles and wine tasting. If you went tequila tasting or
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: agave tasting, you would be drunk so quick.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 33:18
  Speaker 16: Under the table.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Okay, Bloomberg's Erica Herskovitz. Get in your business as
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: we do each weekday morning. We'll talk to you again soon.
• 33:27
  Speaker 16: All right, take care.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, why is President Trump
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: calling you? Well, he may not be, but ABC's Jim
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Ryan says it might sound like he is. He's joining
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: us next. You've been listening to Wake Up Call with me,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Amy King. You can always hear Wake Up Call 5
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: to 6 a.m. Monday through Friday on KFI AM 640
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Columbus Day,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Indigenous Peoples Day, and it's Positive Vibes Monday, so... Tell
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: me something good. Of course, the Dodgers are in the
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: National League Championship. So they lost yesterday. They got another chance.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: They can tie it up today. 49ers, big win over
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Seattle yesterday. The Bruins won, beat Oregon on Saturday. And
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: my Oregon State Beavers, who never really make the headlines,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: they beat San Diego State 66-14. So it was a
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: good day. And here's one other thing that I forgot
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: to mention. This is one of the reasons I wanted
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: to do Positive Vibes Monday. As you know, if you've
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: been listening to Wake Up Call, I have a cat.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: I actually have two. One of them, Shelby, has been
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: sick since last December. And she was the cat that
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: canceled Christmas. Like I had to call off my, I
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: had stayed home at Christmas. I didn't go home to
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: spend time with my family because she was sick and
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: we didn't know what. And she's cost me thousands of dollars.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: She's breathing normal again. And she is back to her
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: old self. We're not sure exactly what changed, but she's
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: got issues with her sinuses and we don't know. She's
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: had infections and anyway.
• 35:00
  Speaker 11: Well, that's good news.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: But she's breathing normally and she's terrorizing my other cat
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: like she used to when she's eating and she's gaining
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: weight and she's playful and happy. And you can just
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: tell she feels better. It only took nine months, but
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: she's better. And so I'm very positive about that today.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Isn't that great news? Very good.
• 35:21
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Here's what we're following in the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Officials
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: are urging people at Newport Pier... Balboa Pier and the
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Wedge to stay out of the water until the danger
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: from flooding and big waves has passed. The city has
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: erected a wall of sand berms on the beach to
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: protect homes. Remnants of what was Hurricane Rachel have been
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: flooding streets on the Balboa Peninsula since Thursday night. The
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: LADWP has warned people who live in Pacific Palisades that
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: they could experience a drop in water pressure or loss
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: of service. Crews are working to reroute water around a
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: section of pipe affected by a leak. on an air
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: vacuum valve that's connected to a trunk line serving the
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Pacific Palisades community. Drinking water will remain safe to consumers
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: during the work. Residents are being asked to conserve water
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: until the leak is fixed. The horror movie Other Mommy
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: has scared up the number one spot at the box office.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: The movie stars Jessica Chastain. Oh, I love her. Racked
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: up nearly $ 28 million in its opening weekend. I love her,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: but I don't like horror movies, so probably won't see it.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: The psychological thriller Verity, starring Anne Hathaway, finished second. And
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: the video game remake Resident Evil was third. The Social
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Reckoning opened in fifth place, making just $ 5. 5 million in
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: ticket sales. So pretty much tanked. Let's say good morning
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: to ABC's Jim Ryan. Jim, can you tell me something
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: good today?
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: Feeling positive.
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:47
  Speaker 15: I'm feeling very positive.
• 36:49
  Speaker 7: It's Monday.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's Monday. That's what you're positive about?
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Complain about.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:55
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 36:55
  Speaker 15: I've started realizing that, you know what? We get only
• 36:58
  Speaker 15: a certain number of Mondays in our lives, and so
• 37:01
  Speaker 15: why not look forward to each of them?
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: I like that. So you're directly contrasting Sherry Preston, who
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: we had on earlier, who was telling us about the
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Sunday scaries.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 37:15
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 37:15
  Speaker 15: This is different from that. Yeah, and I used to
• 37:17
  Speaker 15: get that too, but no, not anymore.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Not anymore. Okay. So let's talk about phone calls leading
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: up to the election.
• 37:23
  Speaker 15: Apparently— President Trump calls robocalls.
• 37:26
  Speaker 7: Oh, robocalls.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Okay. So tell us about them and why we might
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: think that the president's calling us, but he's not.
• 37:33
  Speaker 15: Yeah, because AI, it all comes back to AI, I suppose.
• 37:38
  Speaker 15: But there's an organization that is urging the FCC to
• 37:41
  Speaker 15: change the rules, relax the rules, as it were, on
• 37:44
  Speaker 15: political robocalls. to make them this sort of thing that
• 37:48
  Speaker 15: you don't need the permission of the recipient to have
• 37:52
  Speaker 15: before you start making these robocalls. Maybe the best example,
• 37:54
  Speaker 15: and you probably remember this, Amy, from 2024. That's when,
• 37:58
  Speaker 15: during the presidential primary, voters in New Hampshire were getting
• 38:01
  Speaker 15: a phone call that sounded like this.
• 38:02
  Speaker 17: It's important that you save your vote for the November election.
• 38:06
  Speaker 13: Voting this Tuesday only enables the Republicans in their quest
• 38:09
  Speaker 13: to elect Donald Trump again.
• 38:12
  Speaker 15: Now, that call was not Joe Biden. It sounds exactly
• 38:15
  Speaker 15: like him. It was an AI-generated voice of Joe Biden, right?
• 38:19
  Speaker 15: The call, it was created by a guy, a political
• 38:23
  Speaker 15: consultant who had been working previously for an opponent of
• 38:26
  Speaker 15: Joe Biden in that presidential primary. And he said, the
• 38:30
  Speaker 15: guy who created it, Steve Kramer, I think was his name.
• 38:33
  Speaker 15: He said that he did it to make a point
• 38:35
  Speaker 15: about the dangers of AI in politics and all that. Well, now, two,
• 38:39
  Speaker 15: two and a half years later, An organization called the
• 38:43
  Speaker 15: Growth Club, which is an anti-tax organization spending $ 175 million
• 38:48
  Speaker 15: in the current political season, says it wants to loosen
• 38:52
  Speaker 15: the restrictions so that you would not have to get
• 38:55
  Speaker 15: the recipient's permission to send out robocalls. And I don't
• 38:58
  Speaker 15: know who's going to grant permission anyway. Who's going to say, yeah,
• 39:00
  Speaker 15: I'd like to receive more robocalls, but this would take
• 39:03
  Speaker 15: away that provision. So the FCC is going to look
• 39:06
  Speaker 15: at it. It will rule on it and could rule
• 39:09
  Speaker 15: on it before the midterm. So you could start getting
• 39:12
  Speaker 15: a lot more robocalls, political robocalls.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Do they have to– you're saying they want to relax
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: the restrictions. Do they have to verify that they're real
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: or is it going to be a thing where you
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: get more calls like that Joe Biden call that's obviously fake?
• 39:28
  Speaker 15: Yeah, that's that's still unclear now with these robocalls you're
• 39:32
  Speaker 15: supposed to identify yourself you're supposed to say hey i'm
• 39:35
  Speaker 15: jim ryan i'm calling you on behalf of abc news
• 39:37
  Speaker 15: my uh my phone number is this this now do
• 39:40
  Speaker 15: you want to opt out of the call And you,
• 39:42
  Speaker 15: as Amy, can say, yeah, I want out of this call.
• 39:45
  Speaker 15: That has to all happen within about two seconds. And
• 39:48
  Speaker 15: if you do that, then the call hangs up and
• 39:50
  Speaker 15: you're off the call list for that organization for the
• 39:53
  Speaker 15: next five years. Here's the trick, though. Even if you
• 39:55
  Speaker 15: do that now, if you get a political, if the
• 39:59
  Speaker 15: FCC approves this and you still have to give your
• 40:02
  Speaker 15: consent or opt out within two seconds, that doesn't have
• 40:07
  Speaker 15: to go into effect for 30 days. So the calling
• 40:09
  Speaker 15: organization or the campaign organization has 30 days to take
• 40:13
  Speaker 15: you off their list. That means that you're going to
• 40:15
  Speaker 15: continue to get calls potentially for the next 30 days.
• 40:18
  Speaker 15: The midterm is three weeks away.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: That's what I was just going to say.
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Do we know when they're expecting a decision on this?
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Did you say?
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: Before the end of the month.
• 40:28
  Speaker 15: Now, they're still taking public comment, the FCC, for the
• 40:31
  Speaker 15: next 10 days. So if you really have an opinion
• 40:34
  Speaker 15: about it, you can register that opinion with the FCC
• 40:37
  Speaker 15: for the next 10 days. Go to their website.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: I say no to robo calls. Thank you, ABC's Jim Ryan.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Have a great day.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: Sure. See ya.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. All evacuation orders and warnings
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: have been downgraded in Santa Clarita, where a fire burned
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: just over 170 acres. It's now 68% surrounded. The fire
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: started yesterday afternoon near Sand Canyon and Placerita Canyon roads.
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: L.A.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: County Fire Captain Aaron Caton says, There were erratic winds
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: in the area, but no rain.
• 41:08
  Speaker 9: As the storm moved through the L.A. basin, it dropped
• 41:11
  Speaker 9: all its rain, especially as it pressed over the mountains
• 41:14
  Speaker 9: in the rain shadow effect, leaving all its rain on
• 41:16
  Speaker 9: the south side, and then moved into Santa Clarita as
• 41:18
  Speaker 9: a dry storm.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: There were two other wildfires in Santa Clarita last week.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: The fire that started off Bouquet Canyon Road and burned
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: more than 1,000 acres is almost 100% surrounded now. A
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: state lawmaker is working to move more sand onto a
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: beach in Orange County.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: The wicked weather has been eroding sand from many parts
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: of the California coastline, but State Senator Tony Strickland from
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: Huntington Beach is doing something to help.
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: I secured a million dollars. We can protect the San
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: Clemente coastline.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: That portion of the coast plays host to a major
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: transit line.
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: Without the sand, it's caused a major disruption with Amtrak
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: and Metrolink going from Los Angeles down to San Diego.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: A million bucks is said to be able to haul
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: in about 690,000 cubic yards of sand, which is enough
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: to fill roughly 46,000 dump trucks. Jason Campadonia, KFI News.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: And Halloween candy prices are looking a little scary.
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: Candy prices have jumped 8% in August, according to a
• 42:16
  Speaker 7: survey released by the National Retail Federation. But despite the
• 42:20
  Speaker 7: higher costs, Americans are expected to spend $ 4 billion on
• 42:24
  Speaker 7: Halloween candy this year. The survey found that 96% of
• 42:28
  Speaker 7: Halloween shoppers do plan to buy candy. Peanut butter cups
• 42:31
  Speaker 7: will likely be high on the list. Another survey by
• 42:33
  Speaker 7: DoorDash found it's been America's favorite candy for the past
• 42:36
  Speaker 7: three years, followed by Hershey's and M & M' s. Aileen Gonzalez,
