  Speaker 1: Amy King, on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: What?
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: It's that time already? Yes, it is. It's 5 o'clock
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: straight up. This is your Wake Up Call for Monday,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: October 19th. Good morning. I'm Amy King. We're live everywhere
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app, so you can listen to us
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: any old time, whether it's on the radio or on
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the stream. We're here for you. Hope you had a
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: great weekend. Finally cooling down. But not so much that
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I'm not wearing shorts today. It's October 19th, and it's
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: still a shorts day, right?
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Weird.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: So this weekend, on Friday, I told you I was
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: going to go to the Alta Art Fair. And so
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: we went there on Saturday. And it's a bunch of
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: artists who got together, and they have a fair every
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: year now, unfortunately, because of the fires. They used to
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: do a different kind of get-together there. but now they're
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: doing the Alta Art Fair. And it was so great. Like,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: it's so fun just to see artisans. And I did
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: discover and purchased a couple of treasures for Christmas. I know,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: too soon. But I like to plan early. So anyway,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: support local. That's what I say. And it's really cool
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to see Altadena. It's a beautiful little town. And I
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: know that the rebuilding is slow, but it's happening. So
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: it's kind of cool to see that. But it's also
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: very sad just to see just, These burned out properties
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: that are still there. They haven't rebuilt and been able to.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I wish they would speed that up. And I'm sure
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the people in Altadena certainly wish for that too. But anyway,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I hope you had a fun weekend and maybe discovered
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: something cool like I did at the Alta Hall of Fair.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Let's get to it. Here's what's ahead on Wake Up Call.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Firefighters have cut lines around 60% of the fire burning
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: in San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano. The fire that
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: started Friday afternoon forced Thousands of evacuations, all those evacuation
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: orders have now been lifted. That happened about six o'clock
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: last night. The fire has burned 570 acres. Seven homes
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: were destroyed. The Santa Ana winds have moved out and
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: red flag warnings have been canceled. Public safety power shutoffs
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: also ended and parking restrictions in fire prone areas have
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: been lifted. Cooler temperatures are on the way with rain
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: possible by midweek. President Trump is in Kansas today. Campaigning
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: for Republican Senator Roger Marshall, he continues his cross-country barnstorming
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to try to get Republicans to get out and vote
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: with just over two weeks until the election. President Trump
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: has also given his endorsement to a candidate halfway around
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the world. ABC's Jordana Miller is going to bring us
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the latest from Jerusalem in less than five minutes. October
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And there's something that you
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: can do to help your friends, your family members, and
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: anyone who might be affected by that nasty disease. We're
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: going to be talking with the Komen Foundation's Nisa Jaime
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to find out what that is. An interview that literally
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: could save your life. And flying cars are here. ABC's
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Mike Dubosky is going to tell us more about Elon
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Musk's latest and greatest. Did you see the demonstration that
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: he did? Like that was just like something out of
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the Jetsons or something. And if you're not quite ready
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to fly, what trucks are red hot in the marketplace?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: They're flying off car lots. That's coming up on Wake
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Up Call a little bit later. Let's get started with
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: some of the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: A brush fire that has burned 146 acres in Malibu
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: is now 74% surrounded.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Firefighters in that remote part of Malibu are being helped
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: by more favorable weather conditions as they continue to mop
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: up hot spots. All evacuation orders are now over and
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: the red flag warning has ended. No structures have been
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: lost or damaged, and only minor injuries to firefighters have
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: been reported. Mark Mayfield, KFI News.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: The Santa Ana winds have died down, but a new
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: threat is looming for communities impacted by fires.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: The latest weather threats have switched from fire danger to
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: possible mudslides near burn scar areas as storms are expected
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: this week. Meteorologist Kristen Lund with the National Weather Service
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: says the storm system isn't expected to bring heavy rain
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: and the threat is minor, but people should still prepare.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: They shouldn't be like panicking.
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: But, you know, just be aware that it's a possibility.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: In Orange County, around the Norte Fire, fire crews are
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: taking steps to create barriers for debris flow and runoff,
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: just in case. Aileen Gonzalez, KFI News.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Singer David is due back in court in L.A. this
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: morning for a hearing. The singer, whose real name is
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: David Burke, is charged with killing a 14-year-old girl whose
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: body was found stuffed in the trunk of his Tesla.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: It was discovered last year when the car was impounded
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: in the Hollywood Hills. Burke has pleaded not guilty to
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: murder charges. Ground is being broken this morning on a
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: new 6.7-mile light rail line along Van Nuys Boulevard. The
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: East San Fernando Valley Light Rail Transit Project will have
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: 11 stations connecting the Metro G Line busway in Van
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Nuys with San Fernando Road in Pacoima. Project's going to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: cost about $ 4 billion. Almost a quarter of that will
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: be paid through a federal grant. Trains are expected to
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: be running along the line by early 2032. No one
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: won the big Powerball jackpot over the weekend, but someone
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: in Orange County is still cashing in pretty big. A
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Super Lotto Plus ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven in Anaheim.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: It's worth $ 64 million. The winning numbers, 3, 27, 25, 29,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: and 37. with a mega number of 17. Yeah, I'd
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: take 64 million. I mean, come on, nothing to sneeze at, right?
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: AM 640.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: It's 5.07 on your wake up call. Let's say good
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: morning now to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. So Jordana,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: President Trump has given another endorsement. This one is to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: someone halfway around the world.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: That's right. The president, President Trump, has endorsed Israeli Prime
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the election. As you know, Amy,
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: that election is coming up in just over a week
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: on October 27th. And Netanyahu is in a dead heat.
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: He's been polling either even or falling behind. So this
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: endorsement from President Trump is coming in really at a
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: very critical time for Netanyahu. And we haven't seen new
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: polling yet, but I do believe it's going to help
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: Netanyahu in the lead up to this election. Here in Israel,
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: President Trump is very, very beloved, even after Israelis feel
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: that maybe he ended the war in Iran a little
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: too soon before the job had, quote unquote, been finished. Nonetheless,
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: he remains something of an even mythical figure here. And
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: Netanyahu is betting or hoping that those who are going,
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: you know, not sure yet who they're going to vote for,
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: that this endorsement will push them into Netanyahu's camp.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Interesting that he is popular there, not so much here.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: So what happened... Who's Netanyahu running against? I mean, we
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: know Netanyahu because we hear about him all the time.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: But who's running against him?
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: So Netanyahu is running against the man that he once
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: tapped to be the head of the Israeli army, his
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: IDF chief, when he was still prime minister in an
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: earlier term. His name is Gadi Eizenkot. He served in
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: Netanyahu's war cabinet for the first year of the Gaza war.
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: He is known as a straight-talking general. He doesn't have
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: a lot of the polish that Netanyahu has. But frankly,
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: Israelis are looking for someone that they can trust. and
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: that they believe isn't involved in any corruption or ulterior
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: motives or political survival, all the accusations that are thrown
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: at Netanyahu. You know, his rival, Isengard, has really carved
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: out an image of himself as someone who is straight-talking
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: and interested in really bringing healing to the country after
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: these attacks. three years of war. And really, much of
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: the country is still traumatized. And that's why we've seen
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: Gadi Aysenkat, whose party was only founded a few months ago,
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: perform so well. I mean, he has been either tying
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: or beating Netanyahu's traditional Likud party. The problem, Amy, is
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: that some of the parties further to the right of
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: Netanyahu are growing. And that will still help Netanyahu. Remember,
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: this is a parliamentary system, so you have to hit
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: that 61 seats to form a government. So even if
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: Netanyahu doesn't do so well, but the other parties do well,
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: he's still in good shape.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Okay. And that election is coming up just a week away, so.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: I'm sure we will be... Yeah, October 27th.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure we'll be talking to you about that.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: And the next time we talk, I also want to...
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I know we're out of time now, but I want
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: to kind of get an update on what is going
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: on in the Strait, because... We haven't been hearing about it.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: It's all very quiet. And whether it's actually quiet or
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the media is just not grabbing onto it is the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: big question. So hopefully we can ask you about that
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: next time. Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Thanks so much.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: Bye.
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. There's something we are hearing about,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: and that is protests in France. French President Emmanuel Macron
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: has condemned what he says sought to bring down the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: republic after a weekend of rioting and destruction. Buildings were
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: set on fire in Paris and other areas in France.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: including in Limoges, where a large fire in the historic
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: town hall caused the roof to partly collapse. The protests
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: also led to clashes with police and looting, resulting in
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: at least 2,400 arrests across the country. ABC's Tom Sufi-Bridge
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: called it wanton violence.
• 10:36
  Speaker 8: There was tear gas being used by the police, water cannon.
• 10:39
  Speaker 8: There was complete pandemonium.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Macron has blamed radical far-left groups and criminals. He's now
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: calling for localised and limited to try to cut down
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: on the looting and the demonstrations. Energy Secretary Chris Wright
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: is defending President Trump's diesel deal with Russia, calling it
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: an incentive to end the war in Ukraine. Wright says
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: the deal is not an economic lifeline for Moscow, but
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: a way to encourage Russia to reduce its military operations.
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: That if they can reduce the conflict with Ukraine, they
• 11:13
  Speaker 9: can get an energy ceasefire or reduce the conflict such
• 11:16
  Speaker 9: that they have diesel to export, will allow it to
• 11:19
  Speaker 9: flow to world markets.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: He says Russia would need to agree to an energy
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: ceasefire or scale back its war effort to benefit.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: The U.S.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: And Russia reportedly discussing joint data center projects. President Vladimir
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Putin's investment envoy has announced the talks at the Russian
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Energy Week conference in Moscow. He did that on Friday.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: He says the discussions, which include nuclear-powered data centers, follow
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: the recent deal to supply Russian diesel to U.S. and
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: global markets. The envoy says American sanctions remain a major
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: obstacle but expects more agreements to be announced soon, even
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: as efforts to end the war in Ukraine remain stalled.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: The White House has not publicly confirmed those discussions. Former
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: President Obama has criticized the federal raid on the home
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar in Washington, D.C.
• 12:11
  Speaker 10: In a post on X, Obama said the federal government
• 12:13
  Speaker 10: was targeting a law-abiding elected official simply because she's been
• 12:17
  Speaker 10: a vocal critic of President Trump. Federal agents searched Omar's
• 12:20
  Speaker 10: residence last week as part of an ongoing investigation, a
• 12:23
  Speaker 10: move that raised concerns among some former Justice Department officials
• 12:27
  Speaker 10: because it occurred close to the midterm elections and on
• 12:29
  Speaker 10: a federal holiday. Obama also condemned what he described as
• 12:33
  Speaker 10: efforts to deport Omar. Omar has been one of Trump's
• 12:35
  Speaker 10: most outspoken congressional critics. frequently challenging the administration's policies and actions.
• 12:41
  Speaker 10: Tammy Trujillo, KFI News.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: A woman accused of driving a pickup truck through a
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: youth soccer game in Wichita, Kansas, with her two kids
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: in the car, has been released from custody. Police say
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the woman drove across a soccer field on Saturday, killing
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: a man and a six-year-old boy. Eleven others were hurt,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: including three kids. Police say the driver was released yesterday.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: While investigators await toxicology results, and an inspection of the truck.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: A member of the U.S. Air Force who fell to
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: his death during a military demonstration at a college football
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: game in Texas is being mourned. The airman was rappelling
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: from the ceiling of the Alamo Dome in San Antonio
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: on Saturday night. when he fell about 170 feet. He
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: died at the hospital. This eyewitness says it was hard
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: on everyone at the stadium.
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: The administration here, they responded as fast as they could. But,
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: I mean, there was nobody coming in, nobody coming out.
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: Until everything was handled.
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: But it took a long time.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: The airman was stationed at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: The demonstration was part of a pregame ceremony honoring service
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: members and veterans. The founder of SpaceX has given away
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: a big part of his company to benefit every child
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: in the country.
• 13:55
  Speaker 11: Posting on X, Elon Musk said he would give one
• 13:58
  Speaker 11: share of SpaceX stock to every kid in America. There
• 14:02
  Speaker 11: are roughly 72 million people under 18 in the U.S.,
• 14:05
  Speaker 11: and at today's SpaceX valuation, the donation would be worth
• 14:09
  Speaker 11: well over $ 10 billion. No details were given in the
• 14:13
  Speaker 11: short post about how next year's stock distribution would work,
• 14:16
  Speaker 11: but Musk did call it, quote, the first of many.
• 14:20
  Speaker 11: Rory O'Neill, KFI News.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: That's nice. I want to be a SpaceX kid. Hey,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: when we come back, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Why should you care about that and what can you do? Well,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: we'll be talking with the Komen Foundation's Nisha Haimi to
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: find out an interview that could save your life.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI AM640.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Wonderful weekend. It was a nice one. Cooling down a
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: little bit. Not quite feeling like fall because temperatures are
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: still going to be like in the mid-80s today. Here's
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: what we're following in the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Firefighters are
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: mopping up hot spots for the 146-acre fire that has
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: burned in Malibu. The Bryson fire is now 74% surrounded.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Evacuation orders have been lifted and roads have reopened. One
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: person has been killed and six others were hurt in
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: a shooting in Eastvale. The shooting happened on Morning Hills
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Drive late Saturday night, just after 11. Police haven't arrested
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: a shooter and have not released any information about the shooter.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: The Powerball jackpot has topped $ 600 million. No one matched
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: all six winning numbers from Saturday night, so the jackpot's
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: up to an estimated $ 607 million for tonight. The one-time
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: cash payout for a winning ticket would be $ 255 million. Again,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: nothing to sneeze at. At 6.05, it's Handel on the News.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Russia and Ukraine continue to pound each other as President
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Trump and Ukraine's president continue to be at odds over

• 17:09
  Speaker 7: journey of a breast cancer.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because isn't a big part of this when you
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: come out When you get this diagnosis, it can be devastating.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: And having community around you to support you is a
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: huge part of getting better and successfully battling it.
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: It really is. You know, I was diagnosed with stage
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: two breast cancer in the summer of 2022. I was
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: completely shocked and devastated. I was a mom to, you know,
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: young kids. And it's really scary, you know, not only
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: the treatment, but also just wondering if you're going to survive.
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: And so to really, you know, be around other survivors
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: and people that have walked the journey, you get that
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: strength and that support. And, you know, you see other
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: survivors that are long-term survivors, 10 years, 20 years, and
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: you're like, if they can do it, you know, so
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: can I. And they're just kind of like your roadmap.
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: And so it's really that community support. It's everything, you know,
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: it's everything during that dark time.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And Nisha, you said you were diagnosed in 2022.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: How did you find out?
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: So I found a lump right beneath my collarbone. You know,
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: I was just taking my kids out to the pool,
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: readjusting my straps for my bathing suit, and I felt
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: a lump. And I didn't waste any time. I went
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: to my doctor for a walk-in mammogram a couple of
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: days later, and the ball, you got the mammogram. They
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: asked me to do an ultrasound. I went to a
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: biopsy and, you know, within, I believe, two weeks, I
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: got my diagnosis. And then after that, it was 18
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: months of, you know, harsh treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation. And,
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: you know, it was a long road, but today I'm
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: really grateful to be a three-year breast cancer survivor. And
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: that's why it's really important for everybody to be aware of,
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: you know, their bodies and, If you notice something abnormal,
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: you really, you know, you can't wait. You have to
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: get to your doctor and make sure that you get
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: your screenings and the mammograms right away.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: And you mentioned that you had stage two, which no
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: cancer is good cancer. Stage two is much better than
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: three and, of course, way better than four. So, you know,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and that's, I think it's interesting that you say that
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: they move fast. I know that one time I had
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: a mammogram a few years ago and they were like,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: they called me and said, you need to come in now.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: And I was panicking, of course, but you said they
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: move fast and they do if they find something. And
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: it turned out to be nothing, luckily. But if they
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: find anything, man, they are on it and like, get
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: in here now. And we want to get it diagnosed,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: get it taken care of if we need to, you know.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: So I think that that's one of the very cool things,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: because a lot of times there are other things where,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: you know, it seems like doctors kind of drag their feet,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: not maybe not intentionally or something like this. But this one,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: they get on it when it when something's not normal.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: So that's good.
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: They do. Yeah, they do. And that's very good. So,
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: so yeah, so it's just very important, you know, for
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: everybody to be aware of what's normal for them. And,
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: you know, I know a lot of people kind of
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: have different relationships with doctors and sometimes they don't want
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: to go, you know, they put off the screenings, but really,
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: we really want to drive home the fact that early
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: detection is, you know, the best case scenario for any
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: type of cancer. And so just don't wait, you know,
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: make sure you're getting all those screenings in the proper timeline.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: And what's the recommended age for the baseline? Is it
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: 40 still, Nisha, or is it younger now?
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: It is 40.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: So if you haven't had one yet, I know that
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of people say, oh, my gosh, it's so,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: the mammogram, it's so hard. And I'm like, it is not.
• 20:43
  Speaker 11: It is.
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: You know, it really it really is not. I think
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: it's just that mental barrier that you have to get through,
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: you know, and you go in there and you just,
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: you know, it could save your life. You know, yeah,
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: it's uncomfortable. It's not you know, it's not like a
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: great thing to have to go through. But in the
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: long run, you know, you're you could potentially be saving
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: your life. So just a little bit of uncomfortability for
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: a couple of minutes. I think I think it's well
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: worth it.
• 21:08
  Speaker 12: Yep.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Catching early is key. And, you know, being a colon
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: cancer survivor myself, you know, you got to catch it,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: you got to get rid of it, and then you
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: can go on and live the rest of your life.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: But you've got to find out if you have it first.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: So getting those mammograms is key. Any final messages?
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: No, just, you know, we would love for everybody to
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: come out and join us on October 25th at the
• 21:31

• 21:43
  Speaker 7: to be a one-mile walk, but people can go around
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: the walk three times. We're going to have food. We're
• 21:49

• 22:00
  Speaker 7: support for anybody that you know going through breast cancer
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: or for anybody that you've lost. And so, yeah, we
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: would love to have our community support out there. Again,
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: like we mentioned earlier, breast cancer can be a very
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: isolating and very terrifying experience. And so to have other
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: people come out and show up for you, it really
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: means everything.

• 23:35
  Speaker 12: San Francisco last week. U.S. Postal Service says they are investigating,
• 23:39
  Speaker 12: but it's unclear just how many ballots may have been taken.
• 23:42
  Speaker 12: This comes just days after a mail truck in Sacramento
• 23:45
  Speaker 12: got hit by thieves in broad daylight in which the
• 23:47
  Speaker 12: criminals stole trays of mail.

  Speaker 12: Jason Campadonia, KFI News.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: A dead convicted drug smuggler with mob ties and his

• 24:04
  Speaker 1: weapon in the killing of his ex-wife Denise and Ronald Goldman.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: That's in new documents released after 30 years. A New
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: York Times report says Joey Ippolito, who escaped from federal
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: prison in Florida in 1994, helped a friend on the
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: night of the murders.

• 24:26
  Speaker 1: at SeaWorld San Diego. Cypress arrived at SeaWorld in late
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: August when he was rescued from what was described as
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: a dire situation. The park says he had stopped eating
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: and that an ultrasound showed his intestinal tract didn't appear
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: to be functioning normally. Officials say Cypress was doing better
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: with medical care and that his death was unexpected. Three
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: fossilized T-Rex footprints have been flown out of the Little
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Missouri National Grasslands. The area covers over a million acres
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: of prairie and badlands in western North Dakota. The U.S.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Forest Service has released photos from the event earlier this month.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: The massive sandstone blocks, each containing a Tyrannosaurus rex footprint,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: were flown to a nearby staging area and then shipped
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. I would
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: like to see that big old T. rex footprints. Still
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: to come on Wake Up Call... Flying cars, they're a reality.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: At least for Elon Musk they are. Maybe not for

  Speaker 1: you and me yet, but for Elon Musk it is.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: We're going to be talking with ABC's Mike Dabusky coming
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: up on Wake Up Call.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI AM640.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Here's what we're following in the KFI 24-hour newsroom. A
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: toddler is recovering after being attacked by a coyote in
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Atwater Village. It happened on Glenhurst Avenue Friday. A coyote
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: was later caught and euthanized. A Fish and Wildlife spokesperson
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: says results are still pending on whether that's the actual
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: coyote that attacked the child. Glendora Mayor David Friedendahl says
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: he is outraged that a serial rapist is being let
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: out of prison. Andrew Luster now lives in the city.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: He was convicted in 2003 of 86 felony counts of
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: drugging and raping three women at his home. The mayor
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: says Glendora police are We'll work to ensure that every
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: applicable law and condition of supervision is followed. The Louvre
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: in Paris has been closed after protesters blocked the entrance
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: to the famous museum. President Emmanuel Macron has called for
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: limited and localized curfews to try to stop the rioting
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: and the looting. Last night, groups set fire to trash
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: bins and other objects in the streets and looted businesses
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: in Paris, Lyon, Marseille and other cities. At least 2,400
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: people have been arrested over the weekend. Here's what's coming
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Court battles could be
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: looming ahead of the midterms as the Trump administration raises
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: concerns about non-citizen voting. The Justice Department sued California last
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: week after the state and L.A. County missed a deadline
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: to identify possible non-citizen voters on the rolls. The DOJ
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: also claims that thousands of non-citizens are registered to vote
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Nevada. Nevada's top election official
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: calls it a calculated move.
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: This is just an effort to sow chaos into the election,
• 27:21
  Speaker 9: to create confusion, but also to add a level of
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: intimidation on election folks.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Only New Jersey has confirmed non-citizen voters. State officials blame
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: a software glitch that registered more than 6,000 non-citizens in
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: 2023 and 2024. Fewer than 400 voted. Hundreds of protesters
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: marched through downtown LA over the weekend as part of
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: the nationwide No Kings demonstrations against President Trump's administration. The
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: rally at Grand Park focused on immigration enforcement, voting rights,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: and encouraging early voting ahead of the midterm elections that
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: are just two weeks away. Similar protests took place in Pasadena, Riverside,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: and Orange County. This woman in downtown LA tells KTLA
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: there needs to be real change.
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: Rounding up innocent people and deporting them to third world
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: countries where they have no affiliation, trying to take away
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: our voting rights.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: The Trump administration has defended its actions on voting as
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: an effort to protect voter integrity. Meta says it made
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: a mistake in suspending a No Kings Instagram account on
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: No Kings Day.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: Meta is apologizing, claiming they mistakenly suspended the No Kings
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: movement's Instagram account during Saturday's nationwide day of action. Organizers
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: say the account was down for about 90 minutes and
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: they couldn't post for several hours afterward. Meta says an
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: automated system mistakenly flagged the account due to unusually high activity.
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: The group, which organized nearly 3,000 events to encourage early voting,
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: is demanding a fuller explanation and steps to prevent it
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: from happening again. Eileen Gonzalez, KFI News.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: President Trump has unveiled plans for a new championship golf
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: course in Washington, D.C. Trump says the Interior Department wants
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: to redevelop the existing East Potomac golf links and make
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: it into a world-class course. The proposal comes just days
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: after a federal judge ordered the administration to stop work
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: on the golf course. The ruling followed the removal of
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: about 400 trees, which may have violated an earlier court order.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Time to get in your business as we do each
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: weekday morning at this time. Say good morning to Bloomberg's
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Dan Schwartzman. Morning, Dan.
• 29:30
  Speaker 11: Good morning, Amy.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, so we have a big week of earnings ahead.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: What are we going to see?
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: Well, we have companies including Netflix, Tesla, MetaPlatforms, and IBM.
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: their books in the days ahead. Some investors betting that
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: accelerating U.S. inflation and concerns across the AI sector are
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: going to amplify swings in tech shares and spill over
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: into the broader market. The latest tech sell-off has hit
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: cloud computing services provider CoreWeave especially hard. The company counts
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: NVIDIA as one of its biggest backers. So a big
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: week for tech.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, we'll be watching that. And something that a lot
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: of people are watching is their brand new foldable screens.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: So Apple's foldable phone appears to be a hit.
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah, apparently $ 2, 000 is something people are willing to just
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: throw out there because Apple says demand for the new
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: foldable iPhone Duo has been, quote, nothing short of extraordinary.
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: On Friday, just minutes after pre-orders opened, shipping estimates slipped
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: to the end of January of next year. The Duo
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: goes on sales in stores this coming Friday. For Apple,
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: it's one of the first major product debuts under its
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: new CEO, John Ternes, who took the helm in September.
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: I mean, listen, I don't mind spending money on things,
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: but $ 2, 000 for a phone and it's like practically sold out?
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: I know, it's crazy. But if you think about it,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: like the phone that I have, which is now completely
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: obsolete and dinosauric, is the iPhone 15. And it was
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: like $ 1, 600. So an extra $ 400 and it folds.
• 30:51
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah, remember like $ 800 was an expensive phone.
• 31:00
  Speaker 11: Remember that, those days?
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: I was just watching a movie over the weekend, and
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: she was trying to, oh, it was disclosure day. And
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: she was trying to get her boyfriend to run over
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: the phone to break it so they couldn't follow her.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: And he goes, that's a $ 600 phone. I'm like, that
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: was just like six months ago. How do you get
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: a $ 600 phone? That's a folding phone. Right. If you're
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: a car engineer, there's a big automaker that wants to
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: talk to you.
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah, automaker Stellantis is hiring if you're an engineer. The
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: chief engineering and tech officer says he plans to continue
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: hiring more engineers as the Jeep Chrysler and Dodge maker
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: introduces dozens of new models as part of its turnaround plan.
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: At the Paris car show, the executive said there's room
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: for growth as Stellantis showcased more than 60 vehicles from
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: eight brands, including nine concept cars, indicating a heavy workload.
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: for the group's engineering and design team. So have at it.
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: If you're a car engineer, go to Stellantis. They have
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: plenty to do.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Get that resume ready. And air traffic controllers are getting
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: a new deal.
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: This is a good thing considering all the problems we've
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: had around the country, but the FAA and the Air
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: Traffic Controllers Union agreeing to a new agreement that includes
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: workforce changes in return for a much-anticipated 2.8% pay raise.
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: Under the deal, controllers will be required to badge in
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: and badge out of work, The Transportation Department says local
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: managers and union reps will also build shifts around expected
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: workload and operational requirements to maximize coverage during peak traffic hours.
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: As you know, Amy, one of the big problems we've
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: had is when it's like that peak time, seems to
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: be like one or two people in the booth. So
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: this hopefully will alleviate that problem.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: More air traffic controllers. Always a great idea. Bloomberg's Dan Schwartzman,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: thanks so much. We'll talk to you again soon.
• 32:39
  Speaker 11: Sounds good.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: Take care, Amy.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: When we come back. Flying cars are here. ABC's Mike
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Dabusky is going to tell us more about Elon Musk's
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: latest and greatest. And if you're not quite ready to fly,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: what trucks are flying off the car lots? That's coming
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: up next on Wake Up Call.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: AM 640.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Here's what we're following in the KFI 24-hour newsroom. A
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: wildfire that has destroyed seven homes is now 60% surrounded
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: in Orange County. Hundreds of firefighters worked through the night
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: to strengthen containment lines and put out hotspots of the
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Del Norte fire. Actually, isn't it just the Norte fire?
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: It's burned 570 acres between San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: It started on Friday afternoon. Singer David, who is charged
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: with murdering a 14-year-old girl whose dismembered remains were found
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: in the trunk of his Tesla, is due back in
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: court today. It's a status conference. David's real name is
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: David Burke. He's pleaded not guilty to murder and other
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: charges tied to the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Street
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Fighter is kicking some butt at the box office. It
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: opened in the top spot with $ 31 million in ticket sales.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: The Elizabeth Holmes documentary, You Can See Everything, was second.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: It took in $ 15 million. That's the second highest opening
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: ever for a documentary behind Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911 in 2004.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to ABC's Mike Dabusky. Mike,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: like something straight out of the Jetsons, Elon Musk is
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: showing off his new flying car.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. The Tesla Roadster is what we're talking
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: about here. This is something that Tesla pulled the wraps off.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: at a sort of very flashy event in Austin, Texas
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: last week. This is an all-electric sports car. It is
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: designed to sit on top of Tesla's lineup, kind of
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: be a halo supercar sort of vehicle. And the headline
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: is that it has a series of cold gas thrusters
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: that can be optioned on it, so says Tesla, that
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: can allow this car to fly for short distances. And
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: in a very on-rails demonstration, we actually saw that vehicle
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: flying flip over a series of Teslas that they had
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: lined up. We also saw it suction itself to a
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: sort of concrete wall that they had put up and
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: like fling itself off of that. It was a very flashy,
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: very big promises, heavy sort of demonstration that Tesla pulled
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: the wraps off of last week. Of course, there's a
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: lot of skepticism now a few days later. There is
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: a huge question mark around whether any of this is
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: street legal to say nothing of air legal. You know,
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: helicopters need to be flown by licensed pilots. They need
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: to coordinate with air traffic control. Presumably this car does
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: have a role to play there.
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: The U.S.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Department of Transportation, we reached out to them here at ABC,
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: and they got back to us by saying, while the
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: vehicle may appear to defy the laws of physics, the
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: manufacturer must ensure that it does not defy applicable federal
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: motor vehicle safety standards, and they are going to continue
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: to monitor the situation. I was talking to an automotive
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: journalist friend of mine last week, and he said that
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: there is a 0% chance that any of this is legal.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: So Tesla has a long road to go down before
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: this thing enters production. Even still, Elon Musk says that
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: they're planning to put this thing on the production line
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: in 2028, but they are hedging. You can reserve your
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: spot in line to purchase one of these things if
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: you are not dissuaded by any of the question marks
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: around this thing. But in doing so, you're not just
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: putting down $ 250, 000 to reserve your spot in line, but
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: you are also signing an agreement that says, by signing this,
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: you understand that the Roadster is still under development. We
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: cannot guarantee when your vehicle will actually be delivered or
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: if it will be delivered. And that's a very big hedge.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: That sounds like a problem for people who have way
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: too much money. And even if it doesn't get street legal,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: I was thinking that they could just use it at, like,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: monster truck shows and stuff because that was darn impressive.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: I mean— And I would not be surprised if that's
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: how that works, right? Like this is something that, you know,
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: can be used, but it's sort of geo-fenced to certain
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: areas like racetracks or specialized facilities or something like that.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: Like that could potentially be an avenue that Tesla goes
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: down here. You know, jumping over traffic using your cold
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: gas thruster system, I think, is not something that the U.S.
• 37:07
  Speaker 11: Department of Transportation.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: Or any sort of federal body around the world is
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: going to be thrilled about. You know, and again, just
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: kind of underscoring the challenge here. Of course, it's also
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: worth mentioning that this comes against the backdrop of some
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: pretty significant headwinds from Tesla over the last several years.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: Their lineup of existing cars is kind of old. They
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: have seen shrinking market share globally. especially in places like
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: Europe and Asia amid an ascendant bevy of electric vehicles
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: from existing manufacturers and new manufacturers, especially out of China.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what I was going to say. China has
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of them and they're cheaper.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: And they're cheaper and they have just as flashy features.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: In fact, there are a number of Chinese cars that
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: can act as boats. There are Chinese cars that use
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: specialized suspension systems to jump over things. Like this stuff
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: is out there Of course, it is heavily subsidized by
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: the Chinese government, this, you know, research and development of
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: the Chinese auto manufacturers. But, you know, when it comes
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: time to sign on the dotted line, I think consumers
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: don't really care. The best-selling vehicle, SUV, I should say,
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: in Europe right now is a Chinese SUV, an all-electric vehicle. So, like,
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: that is something that Tesla is contending with. They were
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: one of the first to the party, but now it's
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: a much different party, and they need to do something
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: to get themselves back in the conversation. It seems like
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: the roadster was the way to do that. But even still,
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: there are some really big question marks about how realistic
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: any of that is.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, like here's here's the thing you think about,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: like you're talking about how the the jumping cars and stuff.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, changing lanes is a challenge enough on on
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Southern California roadways. Can you imagine if cars started jumping
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: each other?
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: That's the joke that comes out of a lot of this, right?
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: Is that, have you seen how people drive in two dimensions?
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Now you want to add a third dimension to this
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: up and down. Like that is a, that's a real
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: question mark. And I think that's also why you're seeing
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: the flying version of this car. the rocket mode or
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: the rocket trim of this car, you know, be invite only.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: So Tesla has to reach out to you in order
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: for you to get the privilege to eventually have one
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: of these things, maybe. And that, I think, is really
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: limiting exactly how big a plan the flying car is
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: for Tesla.
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: OK, we got like 30 seconds left, but I tease this.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: So I want to tell you there's a truck that
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: is just flying off of car lots right now. And
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: it's the Kia Telluride.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's right, and I got a chance to drive
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: the second-generation version of this over the last several days.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Really nice three-row SUV. The Kia Telluride has, since it
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: went on sale in 2019, increased the amount of units
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: it's moved every year since 2019. What's great about it?
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: It's been a real sales success for Kia. It has
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: added a hybrid option, which gets you now 30 plus
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: miles to the gallon in a three row SUV. That's
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: nothing to sneeze at. Plenty of power on the highway
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: and a usual bevy of technology features. Everything from semi-autonomous
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: features to smart park where you can control the car
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: from the key. Bit of a party trick, but even
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: still kind of fun. And for, you know, $ 50, 000 to
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: $ 60, 000 for the hybrid trims, it's actually pretty competitive with
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: what you would get from a Honda or a Toyota.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Something to consider if you're in the market for a
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: larger crossover SUV.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: All right. ABC's Mike Dabusky, thanks so much. Appreciate it.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: As always, we'll talk to you soon.
• 40:22
  Speaker 11: Sounds good.
• 40:23
  Speaker 7: Take care.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: All right. One person has been killed, six others hurt
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: in a shooting at a home in Eastvale in Riverside County.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: It happened on Morning Hills Drive just after 11 o'clock
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: on Saturday night. It's being investigated by the Riverside County
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: Sheriff's Department.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: KFI's Mark Mayfield said police are trying to find the shooter.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: They haven't said who they're looking for. A judge in
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Miami has signed an arrest warrant for former Cuban President
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Raul Castro. The judge found probable cause Friday that Castro
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: and others committed first-degree murder in 1996 when Castro was
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: the head of Cuba's armed forces. Castro and his alleged
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: accomplices conspired to shoot down two civilian planes run by
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: a Miami-based group called Brothers to the Rescue. The group's
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: goal was to help refugees fleeing Cuba. A Catholic priest
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: in Ecuador has been killed. by a large crucifix during
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: a live-streamed mass. Video was posted on social media. It
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: has been taken down since then. ABC's Deborah Rodriguez says
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: it showed the heavy crucifix hanging on a wall behind
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: the altar on Saturday when it suddenly detached from the
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: wall and fell on the priest's head. Father Patricio Sanchez
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: didn't appear to see the cross falling, but worshipers did
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: and screamed for help as the broadcast continued. She says
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: the priest died at the hospital. Okay, too soon? A
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: 115-foot-tall Christmas tree is arriving at the Citadel Outlets in Commerce.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Santa Claus will be on hand to oversee the installation
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: of what organizers are billing as the world's tallest fresh-cut
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: crisp tree. The white fir has been transported 600 miles
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: from Mount Shasta in Northern California. The tree will be
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: decorated over the next few weeks with the official lighting
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: ceremony to kick off the holidays at the Citadel Outlets
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: in set for November 7th. I don't think it's too early.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, I bought Christmas presents this weekend, right? You've
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: been listening to Wake Up Call with me, Amy King.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: You can always hear Wake Up Call 5 to 6 a.m.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Monday through Friday on KFI AM 640 and anytime on
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: demand on the iHeartRadio app.
