Settlement Reached in Social Media Addiction Lawsuit · Wake Up Call with Amy King

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM 640 Wake Up Call with me,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Amy King, on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: KFI and KOST HD2 Los Angeles, Orange.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: County. Now batting for Wake Up Call, your host, Amy King.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: It's 5 o'clock. This is your wake-up call for Thursday,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: August 27th.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: I'm Amy King.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Good morning. Ready
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: to get it started?
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Good steamy morning.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Good steamy morning. Didn't bring a jacket, didn't bring a sweater.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I was just checking temperatures. 77 in Anaheim right now. Yikes. Yikes.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: We got a few more days. We'll make it through.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Not to worry. Full moon on the way into work.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Of course, I could barely see it because there's this
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: weird little low cloud thing going on. We actually have
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: a chance of showers today. Thunderstorms.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, then it'll be a schvitz.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Then it will be a schvitz, as Bill Handel would say.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Here's what's ahead on Wake Up Call. Records expected to
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: fall across the Southland as a heat wave peaks. Downtown L.A.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: hit almost 100 yesterday. Woodland Hills topped out at 112.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: An extreme heat warning remains in effect until Friday night.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Reigniting a court battle that began in 2017, Jeannie Buss
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: has filed a petition to stop her five siblings from
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: selling the family's remaining ownership in the Lakers. Back on
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: August 17th, ESPN reported that the six Buss siblings had
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: voted to sell the family's 17.8% ownership of the team.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: to new majority owners Bob Iger and Josh Kushner. Jeannie
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: says she's not on board with that. Five months after
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a jury in L.A. found that Meta used addictive practices
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to hook children, the company's reached a nearly $ 17 billion
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: settlement with California and 28 other states on how the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: company allegedly purposely tried to get kids addicted to Instagram
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and Facebook. ABC's Jim Ryan is going to join us
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: at 5.20 to tell us about how there's a lot
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: more than money at stake with this settlement. Another big
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: win for the Trump administration's efforts to restrict mail-in voting.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: ABC's Steve Portnoy joins us in just a couple of
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: minutes to tell us what happened and then what happens next.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Big day for Jackie. Our favorite bald eagle who passed
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: away a couple weeks ago. The resolution to honor our
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: beloved big bear bald eagle is on the calendar. It's
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: front and center today at the state legislature. We'll tell
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you more about that. I actually had a dream about
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Shadow and Katie last night. Was it like, bow-chka-bow-bow? No,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: it was just weird. And then, you know, I was
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: friends with the eagles. Shadow, like, came over to me
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: after he... had some bad, and Katie was in the picture.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was just weird. It was weird.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Okay. For most of us, we head to Pasadena early
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: on New Year's morning, or we turn on the TV
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and watch the spectacle that is the Tournament of Roses parade.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: But there is a whole lot that happens in that
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: last eight hours leading up to the parade stepping off
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: on Colorado Boulevard. We're going to talk with a woman
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: who's behind a brand new documentary about the extensive preparations
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: that go into it. It's called The Last Eight, like
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the last eight hours. We're going to be talking to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the director coming up a little bit later on Wake
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Up Call. It's got its world premiere in Hollywood this weekend.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Much of Southern California remains
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: under an extreme heat warning. As temperatures in some parts
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: have hit as high as 112 degrees, the low deserts
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: could get up to 118. The National Weather Service says
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: more cloud cover is expected today and tomorrow and will
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: not likely provide much relief because the clouds are associated
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: with tropical moisture. Even if temperatures do dip slightly, increasing
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: humidity could make conditions feel more uncomfortable or schwitzy. Antelope
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Valley leaders say they are being unfairly targeted.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: LA County Supervisor Catherine Barger is opposing the proposed placement
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: of sexually violent predator Harold Watcher at a home in
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: High Vista. Barger joined local residents and Congressman George Whitesides
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: to call on the state to reconsider. She says the
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: Antelope Valley has received three sexually violent predator placements in
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: five years, despite accounting for only about 4% of LA
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: County's population. Heather Brooker, KFI News.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: The L.A.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: City Council has unanimously approved five motions in response to
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the fire at the burned-out cold storage warehouse in Boyle Heights.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: They were introduced by Councilwoman Isabel Jurado. They call for
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: things like water quality testing, bulky item pickup, street sweeping,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: power washing, and dead animal removal. Also options to suspend
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: homeless camp cleanups in areas impacted by environmental emergencies. New
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: electric buses for the L.A. school district have some cool
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: bells and whistles.
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: Officials gave KFI a tour of one. One feature on
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: the buses with the green bumpers prevents it from moving
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: if the seatbelts aren't on.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: It reduces air pollution.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: It has Wi-Fi. It's much quieter than all the other buses.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: The other buses are loud and this is quieter. It
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: keeps the battery life longer as you brake.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: Parents can also track their child's bus using the LAUSD
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: mobile app. The plan is to replace all buses in
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: the LAUSD with electric. Michael Crozier, KFI News.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Well, the packages may have arrived on time, but a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: DHL plane may not be making any more deliveries anytime soon.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: The plane touched down at LAX last night. And the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: tires on a DHL cargo plane caught fire as it landed.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: The flight originated in Phoenix. No injuries were reported. Time
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to say good morning to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Stephen, the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Trump administration scored a pretty big win in its efforts
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to restrict mail-in balloting. Tell us what happened yesterday.
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: I think it's important to say right here off the
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: top that this is not over.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: That's what I was going to ask you. Is this over?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Is this just for now?
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: No, this is not over.
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: And what happened yesterday was sort of incremental and procedural.
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: And let's not make too much of it, but let's
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: talk about what has happened here. The Supreme Court earlier
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: this week said that a lawsuit that was brought challenging
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: this whole idea of an executive order, postal service rules,
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: was brought prematurely. It was a 6-3 ruling. The conservatives
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: said that the case wasn't yet ripe for consideration, that
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: the states themselves had not yet been who brought the lawsuit,
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: had not yet been damaged or injured because the rule
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: had not yet been written. Well, now the rule has
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: been written, and we're talking about a postal service regulation
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: that would require the states to upload their lists of
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: voters to a new online portal. It would require the
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: standardization of mail-in ballots across the country so all the
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: envelopes look the same, that the ballots have certain barcodes
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: tied to each individual voter, and if those rules aren't met,
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: that the ballot simply wouldn't be mailed. And now that's
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: been published in the Federal Register this week. And now
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: you're seeing a new round of lawsuits brought by 25
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: Democratic-led states. And you're going to see challenges heard in
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: the courts based on the new publication of the rule
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: and the challenge directly to it. So I think that
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: it's best to say that we're now seeing the next
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: chapter of this saga, but it's not anywhere near over.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, so... Then back up for a minute because there
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: was a judge lifted the blocks on part of this
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: executive order. But what was that?
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: Well, what that was was the judge saying, all right,
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: we're dealing with a particular case that was brought. The
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: Supreme Court says it was brought prematurely. It's been ordered dismissed,
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: and now the judge is following the Supreme Court's direction.
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: But now the dynamic has changed because yesterday in the
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: Federal Register, the Postal Service published its final rule. And
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: now attacking that rule directly, the states are going to
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: go back into court.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: So now the states can say, okay, this is going
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: to damage us, and now we have– so it's not
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: premature anymore. Is that right?
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: Ultimately, the Supreme Court could decide, if it receives the
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: case in time, that there's a reason to allow these
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: rules to go into place. That it's justifiable because, for example,
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: they're business reply envelopes, and there's certain rules on the
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: size of envelopes, and the Postal Service has its systems,
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: and it has its rationale for why it wants to
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: move forward with this. But what the states can argue
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: is that the President of the United States, who's ordered this,
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: has his own rationale. that he wants to restrict people
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: who vote by mail, that he believes in the face
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: of any evidence, or despite any evidence, that there's fraud
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: in the system. Even though he can't itemize it, he
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: just thinks it exists. And that's enough.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: Well, we'll see how the courts weigh that.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: ABC's Stephen Portnoy, thank you for setting us straight. We
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. And as he mentioned, the states are suing
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: already Attorney General Bonta. has already filed a lawsuit. So
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: maybe now it's not premature. They can move forward with
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: a lawsuit. We'll be watching and keep you posted and
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: see how that happens because the midterms aren't very far away.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. At least 353 people have
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: been killed, including dozens of American tourists, and more than
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: 1,300 people are still missing following massive flash flooding at
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the Nepal-Tibet border. The flooding is believed to have been
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: triggered by a massive landslide. Dr. Gorham Ekstrom at Columbia's
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Climate School says... With a lot of snow-covered peaks, it's
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: not uncommon for glacier melts to potentially trigger this kind
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: of thing.
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: It's not an exceptional event in this Himalayas.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: These types of events have happened before.
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: This is very large by modern standards.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Tourists from Canada, Australia, and the UK are also among
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the missing. Have you guys seen the videos from this?
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, it just looks like a disaster movie. And showing, like,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: complete bridges... just being washed away like they're paper instead of,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: you know, hundreds of thousands of pounds of concrete. The
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: self-proclaimed mastermind of the 9-11 attacks is going to stand trial,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: but not till June of 2028, almost 27 years after
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the attacks. ABC's Aaron Katursky says a military judge made
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the ruling yesterday. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed has been locked up
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: at Guantanamo Bay for the last two decades.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: His case endlessly delayed.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Mohammed tried to plead guilty two years ago to avoid
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: a possible death sentence, but the Pentagon rejected that. The
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: guy who pleaded guilty last year to the murder of
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: four students at the University of Idaho now wants to
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: change his plea and reopen the case. Judge Stephen Hippler.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: has granted Brian Koberger's request for a new hearing next June.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: This was Koberger's admission last year. Are you pleading guilty
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: freely and voluntarily?
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Given your choices, do you believe it's in your best
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: interest to plead guilty?
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Koberger is serving four consecutive life sentences. High-level investigators visited
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the nursery of a government hospital in Pakistan where a
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: fast-moving fire killed 14 babies. Grieving families and the public
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: are demanding answers about the cause of the fire yesterday
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and safety measures at a major government facility. The fire
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: was confined to the nursery. Officials say it spread so
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: quickly staff was only able to rescue one baby. Hospital
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and district officials initially said an exploding air conditioning unit
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: caused the fire. The hospital now says a medical device
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: sparked the fire.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: The U.S.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Department of Justice has issued advisories to companies and other
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: federal agencies to better protect themselves against Chinese government-based hackers.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: ABC's Catherine Falders says the department has seized three Chinese-owned
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Internet domains used by the hackers.
• 12:24
  Speaker 9: This group uses infrastructure to compromise critical infrastructure since 2018. Now,
• 12:29
  Speaker 9: the court documents do not clearly state the scale of
• 12:32
  Speaker 9: the attack against several of these government agencies.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: She says it's been going on since at least 2018.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: And the NFL Pro Bowl is history. League executives have
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: been trying to spruce up and generate more interest in
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the game that honors the league's top players for years.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: But apparently that hasn't worked. Execs told owners yesterday that
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: they're getting rid of the game. 88 players will still
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: be selected through voting by fans, players and coaches. But
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: instead of playing in a game, they'll be invited to L.A.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: for an in-person celebration in February. Big party. NFL officials
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: say the change will restore meaning. to the honor of
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: being named to the Pro Bowl team. The L.A. City
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Council has approved a zoning amendment that would block a
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: massive housing development in Woodland Hills. Councilman Bob Blumenfield says
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: they did it to protect mountain lion habitat and because
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: of concerns about building in a fire hazard zone. The
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: project is planned at the Woodland Hills Country Club south
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: of Ventura Boulevard. The developer says they'll likely take the
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: city to court. A former child actor says she was
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: repeatedly raped during the filming of a Disney Channel movie.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Raquel Lee Below has filed a lawsuit against Walt Disney Company,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: also saying she was sexually harassed by a man who
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: worked with her on The Poof Point when she was 14.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Susan Sarandon, who co-starred in the Rocky Horror Picture Show
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: with Tim Curry, says he was a funny, sexy original.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Carol Burnett, who played Curry's sister in the movie Annie,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: said nobody could play lovable villains better than he could.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Curry died at his home in L.A. on Tuesday. Tim
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Curry was 80. Let's say good morning now to ABC's
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Jim Ryan. Jim, we got word early yesterday that a
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: settlement had been reached in the Meta versus 29 states
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: case over social media and whether it is addicting to kids.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Let's dig in a bit. What does the settlement do?
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Because it's more than just money.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: It is. It is.
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: I think the money is only a small part of it.
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: I mean, $ 17 billion, as Bill Handel mentioned a minute
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: ago on that promo, it's a lot of money. But
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: the company makes it. It's worth $ 1. 5 trillion. So it's
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: not really going to impact it, except in the long term.
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: I think it's the changes that Meta has agreed to
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: make to Instagram and Facebook that may cost it in
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: the long run. you know, advertising dollars, because those advertising
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: dollars depend upon people watching, looking at that content as
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: much as possible, as long as possible. And yet Meta
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: is agreeing to put daily time limits, two hours every
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: day for users under 18 years old. First of all,
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: they need to verify that those kids are 18 or under.
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: They're coming up with new verification tools to do that
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: very thing, Amy.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: And I'm curious as to how that's going to happen,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: because I've been hearing about That they're going to, you know,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: that you can only get exclusions from these things if
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: your parents say it's OK. Yeah. But right. Are they
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: really going to be tied that closely? And are kids
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: going to find workarounds?
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: Probably.
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: They have in the past, you know. They've figured out
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: ways to sign up for accounts on Facebook and Instagram
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: and Snapchat and all the rest of them. And so
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: they may find a workaround for this as well. And
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: by the way, I'm not sure how many teenagers are
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: on Facebook anymore anyway. So what's the long-term impact? I
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: think you'll find a lot more on Instagram perhaps, but
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: not so much on Facebook. But Facebook is one of
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: those that will be making these changes, setting these time
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: limits and you know, sleep interruptions are supposed to be
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: limited because they're not going to send you notifications overnight.
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: So yeah, it's going to be interesting to see how
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: this all evolves.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: And you think about that two hour restriction. I will
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: tell you, I was playing my most recent addiction. I
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: wasn't on social media, but my most recent addiction is
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Meow Doku or Duco.
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: What on earth is that?
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: It's sort of like Sudoku, but with cats. It's It's weird,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: but it's very addicting and actually takes brain power. But
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I will tell you that I probably played it while
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I was watching TV and between doing other things, probably
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: played it for at least two hours yesterday.
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: I prefer moose word puzzles.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Who? Nothing.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Are you making fun of me?
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: Moose word puzzles.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: No.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Caduca?
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: What did you call it?
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Meowduco.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Meowduco.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, wait, am I saying it right? Meow-doku. Like Sudoku,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: but with meows. It's all about placing things in certain
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: grids and making sure that you don't overlap and there
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: aren't things next to the other. So it's sort of
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: like Sudoku where you have to get everything to add
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: up to nine. Anyway, okay, so back to business. So
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: it's $ 17 billion almost.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Right, right.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: It was brought by 29 states, and we hear that
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: California gets between one and a half and two billion dollars.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: So what do the states do with that money? Does
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: it just go into general coffers or does it have
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: to go specifically to social media addiction?
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: It's supposed to be. I think it's at the discretion
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: of those individual states, but it's intended to go to
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: organizations that provide services to kids, right, to young people,
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: and especially to mental health agencies that work with young kids.
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: So that's the goal. So in California, you would hope
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: that As the money comes into Sacramento that it's sent
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: out to the cities, then to give to organizations that
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: will help them to that end. But, yeah, that's a
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: great question. What will happen to the money in the end?
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: And I guess we will see as that plays out.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Of course, the judge has to approve it.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: She did yesterday.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, she did approve it.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: Okay, good.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Well, that's good. It's going to be interesting then to see, too, because, Jim,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: this is just one case.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: It is. Right.
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: There are lots of lawsuits out there, not only against Meta,
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: but against, you know, against Google and Alphabet and all
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: the other companies that run social media platforms. So, yeah,
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: we haven't seen the end of this, but this is
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: a big one. And Meta is calling on its competitors, including,
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: you know, Google and Alphabet to join them in making
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: changes like this to their platforms. And we'll see where
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: that falls.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: All right. ABC's Jim Ryan. Thank you so much.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Talk to you soon. Republican state lawmakers are opposing the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: so-called Stop Nick Shirley Act law that was signed by
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Governor Newsom. They joined a rally in Sacramento yesterday. Assembly
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Bill 2624 was written by Mia Bonta, the wife of
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Attorney General Bonta, following investigative reporting into fraud in California
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: by independent journalist Nick Shirley. He says there's no need
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: for the bill.
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: Here in California, the politicians, instead of going after the fraudsters,
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: they've now gone after those that are going to expose
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: the fraud.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Bakersfield Republican Senator Shannon Grove says all the legislation does
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: is make it harder to uncover how taxpayer dollars are
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: being abused. A defense lawyer has told a jury in L.A.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: the man convicted of killing an L.A. County Sheriff's deputy
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: was legally insane when he did it.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: Kevin Eduardo Cataneo Salazar was convicted of first-degree murder for
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: pulling up next to Deputy Ryan Klinkenbrumer at a red
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: light in Palmdale and shooting him in the back of
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: the head. in September 2023. Defense Attorney George Rosenstock told
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: jurors Salazar is a diagnosed schizophrenic with a history of
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: psychiatric hospitalizations and didn't have the capacity to distinguish what
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: was morally right or wrong when he killed Klinkenbrumer. He
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: said Salazar suffered from auditory hallucinations and believed NASA and
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: the Air Force were controlling his mind. He could get
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: life if he's found sane or go to a state
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: hospital if he's found insane. Mark Groner, KFI News.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: A bill to end child marriage in California has been
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: sent to Governor Newsom for his signature.
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: If Newsom signs the bill, it would make it illegal
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: to issue a marriage license to anyone under the age
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: of 18 in California. Right now, California is only one
• 20:27
  Speaker 10: of three other states without a minimum marriage age. Between
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: 2019 and 2025, 88 marriage certificates were issued in California,
• 20:35
  Speaker 10: in which one of the people getting hitched was a minor.
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: Jason Campadonia, KFI News.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Just an aside, doesn't it seem a little crazy that
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: minors getting married was still legal in California until right now?
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Skywatchers in Southern California are going to get a chance
• 20:51

• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the moon is expected to slip into the Earth's shadow.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Griffith Observatory will open its grounds for public viewing. What
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: a cool place to watch it. Beginning at 725 this evening,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: weather permitting, of course. It'll broadcast the event online through
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: just after midnight. If skies are clear, the eclipse will
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: be visible to the naked eye throughout Southern California tonight.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: And no telescope or special eye protection is needed for
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: a lunar eclipse. Remember a lunar eclipse? The moon appears red.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: It's very cool. I remember standing out on my street
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: when one of the last ones a few years ago.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: And like everybody in the neighborhood was just hanging out
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: on the street. And I tried to take pictures of it.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Didn't come out too well. No, it was not impressive
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: at all. But it was very impressive to watch. Hey,

• 22:08
  Speaker 1: to noon, BJ's in Downey. The alleged mastermind of the

• 22:15
  Speaker 1: The military judge's decision comes about two weeks before the
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: 25th anniversary of the attacks in 2001. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: was captured in 2003. He's been held at Guantanamo since 06.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: A man accused of stalking singer Sabrina Carpenter by repeatedly
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: showing up at her home in L.A. has been found
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: mentally incompetent to stand trial. That determination led to the
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: dismissal of misdemeanor charges against him. The 31-year-old man's been
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: ordered to remain at least 100 yards away from the singer.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Tributes continue to pour in from around the world for
• 22:48

• 22:59
  Speaker 1: love her and want to make her proud. At 6.05,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: it's Handle on the News. The flooding in Nepal, devastating,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: and the death toll just continues going up. Bill's going
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: to give you the latest on that. Okay, SR 140
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: is on the calendar at the state legislature. It's supposed
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: to get a reading today. And if the bill passes,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: September 4th will officially be California Wildlife Day in honor
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: of Jackie Johnson. the big bear, bald eagle. So we're
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: very excited. This was very last minute, and it was
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: a fast push because, as you know, Jackie passed away
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: earlier this month. Tony Strickland, senator, and KFI got together
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: and said, let's officially recognize her. She affected millions of people.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: And for all the poo-pooers, Like my best friend's husband,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: he kind of rolled his eyes when Amy said, oh,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Amy's my best friend's name. Amy said, oh, Amy's sad
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: today that the bald eagle died. And he kind of
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: rolled his eyes. And then he went on his Nextdoor
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: app and everybody, and they live in Paso Robles, everybody
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: in the neighborhood was talking about it. So, I mean,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: it's interesting that it's affecting a lot of people and
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: not necessarily just here and in Big Bear. So we'll
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: keep you posted on SR140. and Jackie the Bald Eagle Day.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: What a cool thing. We got news yesterday that Tim
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Curry had died. And when we got that news, we
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: were like, oh my gosh, the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Do you remember that? And Kono goes, what's that? Never
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: seen it. Never heard of it. Cult classic.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: I've heard of it.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: I've still never seen it.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: It's really bad. Don't you like throw toast at the
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: movie screen or something? Yeah, the midnight showings of Rocky
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Horror Picture Show. I'm sure they still do them somewhere.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: They're so fun. They're so fun. Again, the movie was
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: so bad that somebody said, this is great. So maybe
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: that's going to happen with The Last House, that movie
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: on Netflix that I was telling you about yesterday. It's
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: so bad, it's going to become a cult favorite.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: See, I started that, and yeah, when the windows started
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: sealing up, I was like, I don't know.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, wait, you did start it? I started it, but
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I got distracted, yeah. It was bad, right? It just was. Okay,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: time to get in your business with Bloomberg's Dan Schwartzman.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Dan. Foreclosures. This is not good news. Foreclosures
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: are on the rise again.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: Never good news, Amy. First of all, good morning.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Real estate analytics firm Adam says overall foreclosure filings rose 1%
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: month over month in July and were up 10% from
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: the year prior. Nevada, South Carolina, Florida saw the worst
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: foreclosure activity. Bank repossessions were unchanged from June but did
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: jump 23% from a year ago with lenders seizing nearly
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: 4,800 U.S.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Properties. Yikes.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: You know, when was it? Was it in 08 and
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: 09 that it just went through the roof?
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: It was like, yeah, because the crash started, what, 07
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: and then just really took off from there. And I mean,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: everybody was underwater on their houses. The values, I had
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: one and it dropped by like 50 grand, 60 grand.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: And it finally came back up. It still is crazy.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was sort of, can you weather the storm
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: when it's under, you know, when it's overvalued? Dollar storms
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: seem to be thriving, even though they're technically not dollar
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: stores anymore.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: That is true.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: A couple of discount retailers see bright futures. Dollar General
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: raising its financial guidance, saying the move shows its strong
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: results for the year's first half and improved outlook for
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: the rest of the year. Meanwhile, rival Dollar Tree also
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: boosting its earnings forecast. Both retailers reported earnings that beat
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: estimates in the latest quarter.
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: You're right.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: Nothing's like a dollar.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: It's like a $ 3 store now. Or it's $ 1. 25 or
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: something like that. I mean, it's still a bargain, but
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: it's not.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Call it dollar and change store, right?
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Dollar and change. I kind of like that idea. Software
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: company sees lots of dollars ahead.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Cloud-based software company Salesforce delivering an outlook for strong revenue growth,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: showing investors that it can compete in the era of AI.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: The company says sales will be about $ 11. 5 billion in
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: the quarter ending in October, just beating analyst estimates. Salesforce
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: is also expanding its partnership with Anthropic, which makes the
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: cloud AI model as Salesforce software will be integrated within Claude,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: which my wife seems to love this Claude AI mod.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: I don't get it. She talks to it all the time.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Why did they name it Claude? That's what I'm thinking.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: It's some fancy, like, French butler, right?
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: Claude, bring this, bring that.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: I got it.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: I just made that up, but that's pretty good, right?
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Well, that works, Dan. I'll go along with that. There's
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: a fashion company where you could make some money if
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: you're a smart investor.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, my kid likes this one.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Fast fashion retailer Shein is on track to raise about
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: $ 1. 7 billion in its Hong Kong initial public offering. Shein's
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: communications with prospective investors indicate the company would be valued
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: at just above $ 26 billion. Now, that's a far cry
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: from the roughly $ 100 billion price tag four years ago.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: The Singapore-based company previously gave up on IPO attempts in
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: the U.S.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: And the U.K.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Because of regulatory scrutiny.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: But.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: 26 is still pretty good, but four years ago, $ 100
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: billion value.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Do they have she-in stores in the.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: U.S.? They don't, but like, you know, I got a
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: 15-year-old going on 40, but like, you know, she loves
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: this she-in stuff because it's cheap, right? It looks good,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: and it comes in the mail.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: All right. Getting in your business as we do each
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: weekday morning with Bloomberg's Dan Schwartzman. Thank you, Dan.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: Of course, Amy. Tomorrow. We'll do it again.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Talk to you soon. Your official home for Dodger baseball
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: is AM570 LA Sports. This afternoon, your back-to-back world champion
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Dodgers take on the Braves in Atlanta, trying to get
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: a win. They lost again yesterday. First pitch goes out
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: just after four. Listen on AM570 LA Sports and stream
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: the game on the iHeartRadio app brought to you by Sapporo.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Great moments start with Sapporo beers. Good with sushi. Great
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: with baseball. Records are expected to fall across the Southland
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: as a heat wave peaks. Downtown L.A. hit almost 100
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: degrees yesterday. Woodland Hills topped out at 112. An extreme
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: heat warning remains in effect for much of Southern California
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: until tomorrow night. Prosecutors in the Tupac Shakur murder trial
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: arrested their case. It's now the defense's turn to try
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: to convince the jury that Dwayne Keefy D. Davis is
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: not guilty. He's accused of ordering the rapper's murder 30
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: years ago. A former Beverly Hills Unified School District substitute
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: teacher claimed she was fired for an anti-Trump social media post.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Joni Garrett's filing a wrongful termination lawsuit claiming that her
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: post was done on her personal Facebook page and was
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: put up outside school hours. Garrett has been a teacher
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: for 30 years, 15 of those spent at Beverly Hills Unified.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to Brianna Reynolds, the director
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: of The Last Eight, a documentary about the making of
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade. And it's having its
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: big Hollywood debut this weekend. Good morning, Brianna.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Amy. How's it going? It's so lovely to
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: be chatting with you this morning.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: And it's great to be talking to you, too. I
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: would imagine you're getting very excited for the big Hollywood premiere.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: So please tell us about your new documentary, The Last Eight.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, The Last Aid. It's a documentary about the Rose Parade.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: And what I did was I spent some time with
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: a team in Burbank while they built the pirate ship
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: made of flowers for the Rose Parade in 2026. So
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: I spent a lot of time with them documenting that
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: whole process of of them building the float together, the
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: flowers arriving, everyone coming in. And more importantly, I spent
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: time showing what the judges actually do with the tournament
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: of the roses and how they come in and they
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: have a look at the float and they deem, you know,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: whether it's safe to go on the road. Because at
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: the end of the day, the floats are actually classified
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: as vehicles. And that's something that I learned while I
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: was documenting the Rose Parade and that. So... Yeah, it
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: was so much fun just spending time with the volunteers
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: and seeing what really goes on behind the Rose Parade.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: We're talking to Brianna Reynolds, who is the director of
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: The Last Eight. Brianna, you know, the Rose Parade is
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: such like an iconic part of Southern California and tradition.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: And so what is it about this that made you
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: want to make the documentary? I mean, like, what was
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: the spark behind it?
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: I was very lucky. I was just out one night
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: and I met this lovely lady called Terry. And she
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: told me all about the Rose Parade. You can probably
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: hear it. I have an accent. I'm originally from Australia.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: And so to hear about an American tradition that, you know,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: thousands of people in California know about. I just thought
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: that there was something so special there and that a
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: story needed to be made about the Rose Parade and,
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: you know, a documentary created because I think it's really
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: beautiful and it's so cool. And in this day and age,
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: I feel like we do get disconnected with social media.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: And I think that having a physical event that happens
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: where people can volunteer and they can all come together,
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: it's such a beautiful thing to have in this day
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: and age. And so that's something that I really wanted
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: to capture was communities coming together and using their hands
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: to create artwork. And in a mental health capacity as well,
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: it's just really beautiful to connect over a love of
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: gardening and flowers and roses and all of that. Yeah.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: And I think, you know, it's more than just the
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: documentary shows. It's more than just building a float. You know,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: it's building relationships, like you said, making connections with people
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: in this world where we're so disconnected. And so to
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: come together with this common goal, I would imagine that
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: was kind of powerful for the people who make the floats.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: It really was.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: It was such a beautiful thing to capture with all
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: these people coming together and they actually start building the
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: float about a year beforehand. So as soon as the
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: float is done, it goes back to the warehouse in
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Burbank and it gets taken apart almost immediately after the
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: people can come down and view it. And so that
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: process of starting the float for the very next year, um,
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: they've already started that say for this year, it was
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: in February of 2026. So the new float is well
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: underway and, um, I can't wait to see it because
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: I know, and I've seen firsthand how much time goes
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: into making these beautiful floats. And it's something that I
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: had no concept of before I met Terry and, um, Yeah,
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: it's just it's such a beautiful experience for people to
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: be a part of. And I urge people if they
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: can to volunteer and the amount of friendships that you
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: can make out of doing something like this. It's just
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: really beautiful. And yeah, I definitely encourage it.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: OK.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: And Brianna, it's about to debut in Hollywood. Can we
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: get tickets to this? It's going to be at a
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: film festival or is it already is it sold out?
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: No, I believe there's still a couple of tickets left.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: It's for the Angeles Documentary Film Festival and it's premiering
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: on Sunday. And there's a lovely little mixer beforehand. And
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: then there's going to be a bunch of different films
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: that are screening. And luckily, The Last Eight is one
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: of those films.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Love it. And after the premiere, are people going to
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: be able to see it? Is it going to be
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: streaming or what's kind of your end goal with this documentary?
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can share that the film is actually going
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: to be having its Canadian premiere in Lunenburg, Dockfest, the
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: middle of September. So Canadian audiences will be able to
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: see it. So if anyone knows anyone up in Lunenburg,
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: let them know. And then after that, long shot there,
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: I know. But, I mean, ultimately the goal would be
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: to get it on to– a streaming platform or something
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: like PBS, I think that that would be really good
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: to have it locally and on a network where people
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: can access it and enjoy the Rose Parade and see
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: what it's all about.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: Lovely.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: The Last Eight, directed by Brianna Reynolds. And Brianna, please
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: stay in touch with us and let us know because
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: if we can stream it, this is something I want
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: to see. Like I said, I love to watch and
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: see how the secret sauce is made.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's so true. Behind the scenes and seeing how
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: something is made, especially something that's such an American tradition,
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: it's a really beautiful thing. And, yeah, again, I urge
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: people to volunteer if they can to get the chance
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: to be a part of an American tradition. All right.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Director Brianna Reynolds, with the last date, good luck with
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: the premiere. And we look forward to hearing from you
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: again because we want to see it, too.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: Thanks, Brianna.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. The L.A. City Council has
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: approved a zoning amendment to block a massive housing development
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: in Woodland Hills. Councilman Bob Blumenfield cites the protection of
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: a mountain lion habitat and concerns about building in a
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: fire hazard zone as reasons why the planned project at
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: the Woodland Hills Country Club should not move forward. The
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: developer says the move will exacerbate the city's housing shortage
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: and says the company will likely take the city to
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: court over this one. News brought to you by Creative Repipe.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: A judge in Texas mentioned Dolly Parton while striking down
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: a ban on drag shows.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: U.S.
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: District Judge David Hittner ruled the state law violated the
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: First Amendment. He first said it was unconstitutional in 2023,
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: pausing the fines of $ 10, 000 for hosting events and up
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: to a year in jail for performers. An appeals court
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: lifted that pause and made him reassess the law. He
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: said in his new redone ruling, the law was overly broad, vague,
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: and by its own definition would chastise the late Dolly
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: Parton as a voluptuous sex symbol because of her big hair,
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: flamboyant clothes, and breast exposure. He said the solution for
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: those who find such activities offensive is relatively simple.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: Just don't go.
• 37:31
  Speaker 6: Michael Crozier, KFI News.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: And this baby just couldn't wait. A couple was on
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: their way to the hospital last night but didn't quite
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: make it. They pulled over and mom delivered the baby
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: on the side of the road in San Dimas. Dad
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: called for help and L.A. County Fire first responders were
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: there to assist. Baby arrived just after midnight. Mom then
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: made the rest of the trip to the hospital in
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: the back of an ambulance. And just like that, our
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: time on Wake Up Call is done for today, but
