Earhart's Plane Still Missing After 90 Years + Get Your Vaccine Before the Holidays · Wake Up Call with Amy King

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM640 Wake Up Call with me,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Amy King, on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: KFI and KOSTHD2, Los Angeles, Orange County. It's time for
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: your morning wake up call. Here's Amy King.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Wake Up Call.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Good morning. It's 5 o'clock straight up. This is your
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: wake-up call for Tuesday, October 20th. I'm Amy King. We're
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Two weeks until Election Day.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: And also a change is coming. To the point where
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I'm finally able to start wearing some of my Disney
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Halloween gear. Halloween just 11 days away. And I've got
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: all this stuff that has been too warm. Not stuff,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: clothes that's been too warm. Yesterday I was in shorts.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: So bundle up. We've got rain on the way, too.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: That's kind of fun.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get going because we've got a lot
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: going today. Here's what's ahead on Wake Up Call. The U.S.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Justice Department has asked a federal judge in L.A. to
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: block the state from counting ballots of tens of thousands
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: of people the administration accuses of being non-citizens who illegally
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: registered to vote. The request comes as 28 foreign nationals
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: were charged with illegally registering and or voting in elections
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: in California. Federal officials say all the defendants are lawful
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: permanent residents or green card holders, but they're not U.S.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: citizens and are not allowed to vote. Firefighters are getting
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: closer to full containment of a couple fires that broke
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: out last week during the Santa Ana wind event. The
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: 570-acre fire in San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano is 80%
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: surrounded this morning, and the 146-acre fire in Malibu is
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: now fully surrounded. A lawsuit is expected to be filed
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: claiming the fire that burned those seven homes in San
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Clemente and San Juan Capistrano started just seconds after San
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Diego Gas and Electric reported a power outage in the area.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Two of the biggest names in AI have announced some
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: plans to give away billions of dollars in stock to
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the public. ABC's Mike Dabusky is going to join us
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to tell us whether it's a generous gesture or maybe
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: an effort to win over a public that is skeptical
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: of AI and how the tech billionaires will make billions
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: more off of all of us. Mike's going to give
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: us the latest on that. It's been 90 years and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: for some reason there's still a fascination with finding Amelia Earhart.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Another attempt was just made and she's still missing. ABC's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Jim Ryan joins us at 520 to tell us what
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: happened this time and whether they might finally let Amelia
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: rest in peace. Holidays right around the corner and with
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: all the family and friends and get togethers. The risk
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: of getting the flu, COVID, and RSV goes up. That's
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: great news, isn't it? We're going to be talking with
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Sanjay Patel with the American Pharmacists Association about what you
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: can do to protect yourself and your family and your
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: friends ahead of this holiday season. Let's get started with
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: some of the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: A strong October storm is moving towards Southern California. The
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: National Weather Service says it could dump one to two
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: inches of rain in some areas with possible thunderstorms. and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: an increasing risk of localized flooding. The rain is expected
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: tomorrow and Wednesday. Forecasters say it could begin as early
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: as tonight in some areas. Newport Beach has declared a
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: local state of emergency ahead of exceptionally high tides that
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: could trigger more coastal flooding.
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: The City Council approved an emergency declaration before king tides
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: arrive in one week. Earlier this month, waves and high
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: tides exacerbated by Tropical Storm Rachel Flooded low-lying parts of
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: Newport Beach. Mark Mayfield, KFI News.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Another coastal road has begun to crumble from ongoing beach erosion.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Windward Beach Road near Point Doom is collapsing and has
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: exposed an L.A. County water main. It's one of several
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: spots along the coastline that has been battered by recent storms.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: With an El Nino winter now expected to bring significant storms,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Malibu City officials say more erosion is likely. And the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: landmark Santa Monica Pier sign will begin coming down this
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: morning for restoration in Las Vegas. It's part of a
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: project to replace the aging bridge that connects Ocean Avenue
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to the pier. The blue neon sign, which has greeted
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: visitors since 1941, is going to be dismantled over the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: next several days. The sign is listed on the California
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Register of Historical Resources and is expected to return to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the pier entrance when construction of the new bridge is
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: completed ahead of the 2028 Olympics. The public, in case
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you want to peek at it, will be able to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: watch the removal from two designated viewing areas, the southern
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: edge of Palisades Park and the northeast side of the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: pier entrance at Ocean Avenue and Colorado. And again, as
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: they dismantle the sign, the weather may be a factor,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: might delay the project a little bit. Let's say good
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: morning now to ABC's technology reporter, Mike Dabusky. So, Mike,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: we've got two of the biggest names in AI announcing
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: plans that they're going to be giving away billions of
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: dollars in their stock. Nice gesture. Or is it an
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: effort to win over a public that's a little skeptical
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: of artificial intelligence?
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: I think it's definitely both. So let's start with Anthropic here.
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: They say that they're going to set aside a chunk
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: of their company for public benefit, in their words. Anthropic
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: says it'll commit 5% of its shares to a new
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: fund that they say will go towards addressing the labor
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: market impacts of this technology. Now, they say it's common
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: practice for tech companies to offer escalating compensation awards for
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: their executives. We are instead directing that equity to the
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: public benefit, meaning that the way this fund is structured,
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: the more anthropic grows, the larger the share of the
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: company they can dedicate to this public good cause. Sounds good, right?
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: So they kind of go further and they say that
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: this will help support nonprofits and help communities address AI's
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: impact on workers. But it's kind of vague beyond that.
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: We don't know what nonprofits, we don't know exactly how
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: they think about the community impact of AI. There's a
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: lot of kind of loosely sketched details here that we
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: would want more information on. What we do know about
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: Anthropic is that it could be quite a lot of
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: money that they're putting towards this cause. About $ 48 billion
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: if you go on the reports that Anthropic has a
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: private valuation of nearly a trillion dollars. And, of course,
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: we would all be waiting on the IPO to see
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: whether these numbers actually work out as we're calculating them
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: right now. Anthropic had been rumored to go public next month, potentially.
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: That could still happen, but there are rumors that it
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: could slide even beyond that. After Anthropic made this announcement
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: this weekend, Elon Musk chimed in. He is the owner
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: of SpaceX, which is the parent company of XAI, the
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: maker of the Grok chatbot. Elon Musk says he's going
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: to do something more direct. He wants to give one
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: share of SpaceX to every child in America next year. Again,
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: quite a lot of money. If we do some back
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: of the napkin math, there's about 73 million children in America,
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: according to the Census Bureau. SpaceX is trading for around
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: $ 146 a share. That would amount to more than $ 10
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: billion that Elon Musk is talking about here. And we
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: do know how it would reach the American children. President
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: Trump yesterday weighing in, thanking Elon Musk for the move.
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: and claiming that these shares will be distributed through Trump accounts,
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: those tax advantaged savings accounts for children that the Trump
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: administration announced earlier this year.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Except that those are actual money that goes into a
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: savings account. This is a share. So maybe they'll get
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: access to who the kids are through the Trump accounts?
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: I mean, very possibly. I mean, I think that the
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: Trump account can encompass shares in certain stocks as well.
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: I'm not sure the details of the Trump account itself.
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: But they say it's going to go through that program
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: at the very least. So it at least has a
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: little bit more of a clear funnel between company and person.
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: Than Anthropix does. But we'll have to, again, see if
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: this kind of reaches the actual reality of the world
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: over the next few years, because the reality is, you know,
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: these commitments are happening while the AI race is facing
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: a real cash crunch. Sure, Anthropic did recently say it
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: had its second profitable quarter in a row, but because
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: it's not a publicly traded company yet, it doesn't have
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: to use GAAP principles, meaning that there's definitely some, you know,
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: hazy math going on here that we should treat with
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: a grain of salt. Of course, you know, we know
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: that this technology is very expensive to develop and it
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: is increasingly expensive. you know, looked down upon by an
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: increasing number of Americans who are concerned that it could
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: put them out of jobs. So, you know, your original
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: point to, you know, put a finer point on it
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: is that, you know, yeah, this is absolutely a PR
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: move sort of aimed at shoring up some support for
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: the industry. It could also very well do some good,
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: but we just don't know at this point, given some
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: of the lack of details that we're seeing from these plants.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Too soon to tell. OK, one other thing that we
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: wanted to talk about is more and more people are
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: using AI and And we're finding that men and women
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: use it differently.
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's absolutely. Well, sort of, to a degree. They
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: used to use it differently. This is new research out
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: from Pew that looks into whether gender plays a role
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: in how people use AI and how often they use AI.
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: So if we go back to 2024, 39% of men
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: said yes to the question, do you ever use a
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: chatbot like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot? 28% of women answered
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: yes to that question. So more than 10% gap between
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: men and women on whether they use these technologies at all. Today,
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: it's 50% of men and 47% of women. So not
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: only are more people using chatbots, the gender gap has
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: shrunk between the two genders. But there is still a
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: distinction when it comes to using the tech on a
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: daily basis. Men say that they're 27% likely to do
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: this on a daily basis to go to ChatGPT or
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: Gemini and talk through a problem or an issue that
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: they're having. 20% of women say as much. Men are
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: also more likely to say AI helps them be more productive. 35%
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: of men say these tools help with their productivity. The
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: share drops to 25% among women.
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: Uh-huh.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: You know what that shows you. Men are lazy. That's it.
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: Men are lazy.
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: Women are more discerning about what is productive. No surprise.
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: ABC's Mike Dubosky, thanks so much for the information, as always.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Of course. Take care.
• 10:46
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. President Trump says he is
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: open to meeting with Presidents Xi and and Putin during
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: his visit to China next month. Russia's president suggested a
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: summit between the three leaders to talk about ending the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: war in Ukraine. President Trump says he'll meet with whomever.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Anything I can do to end the war.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Ukraine's president told Meet the Press on Sunday the proposed
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: meeting is unbelievable.
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: It's tragedy.
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: It's historic mistake.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Trump has been in a public feud with Ukrainian President
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Zelensky since Trump announced a deal to buy Russian diesel fuel.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Mississippi's attorney general has found that a police officer in
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Senatobia was justified in using force when he responded to
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: a shoplifting call and fired a shot that ended up
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: killing a one-year-old boy. The baby was in a moving
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: car investigators say was being driven toward police. ABC's Sophie
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Flay says the boy's mother denies she or her friend
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: were trying to evade police in June.
• 11:49
  Speaker 11: Family attorney Ben Crump is calling for the release of
• 11:51
  Speaker 11: body camera footage, telling ABC News a one-year-old baby was
• 11:55
  Speaker 11: shot and killed by a police officer. And now the
• 11:57
  Speaker 11: state of Mississippi says that use of force was justified.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: The baby or the boy's mom says that she raised
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: her baby up trying to show police that he was
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: in the car. But by the time she sat him down,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: three or four shots had been fired. The Democrat running
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: for governor in Texas is suing to get access to
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: emails between Governor Greg Abbott and billionaire Elon Musk.
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: We have the world's only trillionaire getting tax breaks from
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: this governor after giving him over $ 500, 000 in campaign contributions.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Gina Hinojosa says she filed the suit after Abbott refused
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: to release the information, saying it was intimate and embarrassing.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Abbott's office says the lawsuit is baseless and nothing more
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: than an act of desperation, and that Hinojosa is abusing
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: her official capacity to generate headlines for political purposes. A
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Japanese spacecraft is launched on a five-year mission to Mars
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and back. Five of the world's space agencies joined forces
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: for the mission that will attempt to land a robotic
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: prospector and a rover on Phobos. That's the larger and
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: closer of Mars to small moons. NASA has successfully landed
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: nine spacecraft on Mars over the past 50 years and
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: a Chinese rover touched down in 2021. But no one
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: has ever tried to get to Mars moons and no
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: one has retrieved samples from Mars or its moons. If successful,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: bits of dust, soil and rocks from Phobos will arrive
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: back on Earth in 2031. When we come back, it's
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: been 90 years and for some reason there is this
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: fascination with finding Amelia Earhart. Another attempt was just made and, well,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: she's still missing. ABC's Jim Ryan is going to join
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: us to tell us what happened this time. That's coming
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: up next.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI AM640.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Here's what we're following in the KFI 24-hour newsroom. A
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: $ 50, 000 reward is being offered to anyone who can help
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: police track down the driver of an SUV who hit
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: and killed a man in North Hollywood then took off.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: It happened shortly before 2.30 yesterday morning at Lancashire Boulevard
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: in Sherman Way. The SUV was described as possibly a
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: yellow Jeep Wrangler that was last seen heading east on
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Sherman Way. The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: the alleged masterminds at the September 11th attacks. Khalid Sheikh
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Mohammed and two other alleged co-conspirators were seeking to hold
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the American government accountable to a plea deal that would
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: give them life sentences instead of the possibility of the
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: death penalty. The agreement was later withdrawn by former Defense
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Secretary Lloyd Austin. The three defendants will face military trial
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: in 2028. The death penalty is still on the table
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: for all three. Catherine Breed has completed quite a feat.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: She swam 900 miles down the entire coast of California.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: She started the swim at the Oregon border, and 111
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: days later, she arrived at San Diego's Coronado Beach. She
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: swam in 10-mile intervals, had a team accompanying her, and
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: slept on her team's boat at night. Still, that's a
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: lot of swimming. Let's say good morning now to ABC's
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Jim Ryan. So, Jim, it's been 90 years, and for
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: some reason, there is this weird fascination with finding Amelia Earhart.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: It doesn't interest you?
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: No, I don't care. It was 90 years ago.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Okay, why are we talking about it then?
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Because there's a fascination about it.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: What?
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: Maybe you should try pencils instead of Sharpies.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, you know what? I use pencils all the time,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: but I had my Sharpie out.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: It'll come off.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: People are interested. They are interested in Amelia Earhart. They
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: want to know what happened to her, right? Lay people,
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: aviation enthusiasts... Conspiracy theorists, all sorts of people, and serious
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: researchers want to know what happened to Amelia Earhart when
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: she and navigator Fred Noonan aboard a Lockheed Electra were
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: trying to fly around the world and didn't make it.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: They were lost somewhere in the South Pacific. So the
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: latest attempt to figure it out led a team of
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: 17 people down to the South Pacific to Nicomororo Island,
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: a little tiny speck of island out there in the
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: South Pacific. They were drawn there by satellite images that
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: show what looks like the shape of an airplane in
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: a lagoon there. suspiciously like an airplane. I think the
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: Tarea object is what it was known as. And so
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: this team got out there. Finally, they'd been hoping to
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: go last year. They couldn't because of weather and red tape,
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: but they finally made it down to Nicamaroro to take
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: a look at this stuff. Well, it wasn't the one.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: I just like to say Nicamaroro. Nicamaroro.
• 16:45
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: It's a fun island.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: And so what did they find? So what about the
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: Tarea object? Was it a plane?
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: What was it?
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: No, it wasn't. Rick Pettigrew was the project director and
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: says it was probably.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: He.
• 16:56
  Speaker 13: Said we think it's most likely that the object was
• 17:00
  Speaker 13: a collection of debris that accumulated here. This mystery has
• 17:03
  Speaker 13: been ongoing for 90 years. And the mystery continues.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Mystery continues, Amy. We don't know what that was. It
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: was branches, leaves, trees. We don't know what happened, though,
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: to Amelia Earhart.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that we seem more interested in
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Amelia Earhart... from 90 years ago. And she was flying
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: a prop plane at that time, right?
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Twin engine prop plane, the Lockheed Electra, famously reliable.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: And then we have Malaysia Air Flight 370, I think.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Remember that one went down a few years ago and
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: they searched for it for a couple of months and
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: then it just kind of went away. Are they still
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: looking for that, I wonder?
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: They are. Somebody, I'm sure, I mean, there was a
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: huge naval search for Amelia Earhart after that happened. There
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: was a huge search for The Malaysia Airlines jet too.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: And I'm sure there are still people out there trying
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: to figure out what happened. But I mean, this enduring
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: mystery continues now. The search for Amelia Earhart and Fred
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Noonan was hampered in part by coconut crabs.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Coconut crabs?
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Gigantic crabs.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I've heard of these things.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: They're called that.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: They're ginormous, right?
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: They can crackle. Yeah. Three feet across, nine pounds. They
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: can live 60 years or more. And yeah, they're omnivorous,
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: meaning that they eat coconuts and bananas and meat. So
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: there was some thinking that maybe if they made it
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: to that island that, you know, they eventually were overtaken
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: and eaten by coconut crabs, that their remains may be
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: scattered across the island, you know. But it certainly kept
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: the researchers sleeping on their boat at night instead of
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: on the on Nicamararo.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember the name of the book. I
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: interviewed an author who did as she wrote a book
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: and there were coconut crabs on the little island, the
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: little Hawaiian research island where she went.
• 18:48
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: And it was just fascinating because I'm like, I've never
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: heard of these crabs that are huge and they will
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: eat you. So that's great.
• 18:56
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Well, hopefully Amelia didn't eat that end.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's hope not.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Are they going to keep searching for it? They got
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: another expedition planned or nothing at this point?
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: There are.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, they're going to also they're going to keep
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: centering on Nicomororo because Pettigrew still believes that their remains
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: might be found somewhere there. His theory, the working theory,
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: is the castaway theory, meaning that the plane ditched in
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: the ocean and that Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan somehow
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: made it to land. They think specifically Nicomororo and lived
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: out the rest of their lives there as long or
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: short as it might have been.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: ABC's Jim Ryan. Thanks so much.
• 19:30
  Speaker 12: Bye.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: See ya. All right.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: What?
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: No three foot wide crabs for me.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 19:36
  Speaker 14: No.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Coconut crabs. Go, go look them up.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: I wonder if they taste good though.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I know that's what I was thinking. I'm like, well,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: except if there were that many of them, they would
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: like gang up on Amelia and, you know, then she'd
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: be toast. But otherwise, she'd have a really tasty dinner.
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: The man accused of starting a fire that allegedly smoldered
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: and became the Palisades Fire is due in federal court
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: this week for his final pretrial conference and motion hearing,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Rinderknecht. was supposed to be in court tomorrow, but
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: that's been pushed back to Thursday. He was tried for
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: arson earlier this year, but that case ended with a
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: deadlocked jury. The new indictment drops one of the three
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: original charges and revises the other two. If your property's
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: been damaged in a natural disaster, you could be getting
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: a tax break.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Los Angeles County Assessor Jeff Prang explains.
• 20:26
  Speaker 12: If your property is damaged, whether it be by an earthquake,
• 20:28
  Speaker 12: a fire, or by these recent coastal floods, and your
• 20:32
  Speaker 12: property is damaged or destroyed, you can get tax relief.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Frank says he's obligated by law to lower assessments to
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: reflect damage and destruction.
• 20:39
  Speaker 12: Your assessment will be reduced. Your property taxes will be reduced.
• 20:44
  Speaker 12: Total damage will be zeroed out.

• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Orange County workers striking for better contracts say they plan
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: to stay on the picket line until there's an agreement
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: with the county. Christian Castro with the Teamster Union tells
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: KTLA workers are leaving because the county isn't offering decent
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: pay and benefits.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: So we end up with higher, higher workloads, more stress
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: for these workers, and just a feeling of helplessness.
• 21:15
  Speaker 13: And this is why they ended up out here on.
• 21:17
  Speaker 15: The picket line.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Officials in Orange County say they have a contingency plan
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: to maintain essential services like trash collection. An Orange County
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Superior Court judge has approved a $ 125 million settlement with
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the operator's of a plastics manufacturing plant in garden Grove
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: where a chemical leak forced thousands of people from their
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: homes and businesses. According to the DA's office, the settlement
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: will set aside up to a hundred million dollars for
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: about 50,000 residents who were forced to evacuate their homes
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: because of the hazardous materials emergency at GKN aerospace transparency systems, uh, GKN,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Aerospace Transparency Systems, Inc. That's a really long name. First
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: responders who handled the Memorial Day weekend emergency will also
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: be reimbursed for more than $ 8 million under the agreement.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: And the company has agreed to seven years of monitoring,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: including oversight by an independent expert to make sure the
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: plant complies with applicable laws and regulations. And then GKN
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: will pay $ 1. 4 million for that monitoring. Speaking of millions,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: no one matched all six winning numbers from last night's
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Powerball drawing that pushes the jackpot for tomorrow night's drawing
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: up to $ 635 million. That's a one-time lump sum of
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: $ 267. 5 million if you just want it all at one time.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: And of course, that's before taxes.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI AM640.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Here's what we're following in the KFI 24-hour newsroom. A
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: strong October storm is moving toward Southern California. Forecasters are
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: warning of widespread rain, possible thunderstorms, and an increasing risk
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: of localized flooding. The National Weather Service says the approaching
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: storm could produce about one to two inches of rain
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: in some areas with heavier downpours possible and a flood
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: watch potentially needed. Authorities are seeking additional possible victims of
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: a man accused of sexually assaulting and robbing another man
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: that he met on a dating website. The man says
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: he was attacked August 1st in the unincorporated Valinda area
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: near Industry. The man accused is Junior Carbajal. He was
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: arrested August 3rd. Anyone who may have been a victim
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: is being asked to call the L.A. County Sheriff's Department.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Home sales have slowed down across California. Sales of existing
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: single-family homes in L.A. County were down 11 percent in
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: September over last year. And Orange County sales also dropped
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: but a lot less by 2%. Real estate officials say
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: rising mortgage rates and affordability are weighing on buyer demand.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Here are some more stories coming out of the KFI
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: 24-hour newsroom. A lawsuit is expected to be filed against
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: San Diego Gas and Electric over a fire that burned
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: several homes in South Orange County. A complaint says the
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: fire in San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano was started
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: by the utility's equipment failure.
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: The fire has burned 570 acres and destroyed or damaged
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: seven homes since it broke out on Friday.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: KFI's Mark Mayfield says the fire is 80% surrounded as
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: crews work to put out hot spots. A dredging project
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: is starting in Long Beach to shore up the Alamitos
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Peninsula ahead of more El Nino-related weather events. The area
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: has already taken a pounding from the strong surf caused
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: by Hurricane Marie over Labor Day weekend. and Tropical Storm
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Rachel earlier this month, plus the ongoing high tides. Eight
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: buildings have been red-tagged, and part of the historic boardwalk
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: has been severely damaged. California cities have failed to make
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: the list of the top 25 safest cities in the U.S.
• 24:53
  Speaker 9: The first SoCal city on the list comes in at
• 24:54
  Speaker 9: number 28, Irvine, which ranks well in home and community safety,
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: but poorly in natural disaster risk and financial safety risk. That,
• 25:01
  Speaker 9: according to WalletHub, which looked at those factors... as well
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: as mass shootings, car crashes, and other criteria to make
• 25:07
  Speaker 9: the list. Glendale is the safest L.A. county city at
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: number 43. The city of L.A. is 168th out of
• 25:13
  Speaker 9: 182 cities. And if you want to move to the
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: safest city, hope you like the cold, it's Juneau, Alaska.
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: Jason Ethenson, KFI News.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I've been to Juneau. It's very pretty. Time to get
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: in your business as we do each weekday morning. Let's
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: say good morning to Bloomberg's Matt Piper. Morning, Matt.
• 25:30
  Speaker 14: Hey, Amy, good morning.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: So Walmart is going on the offensive ahead of the holidays.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.
• 25:36
  Speaker 14: So it's now bundling its online subscription program with a
• 25:39
  Speaker 14: Sam's Club membership. They're both owned by the same company,
• 25:42
  Speaker 14: of course. It's going to be $ 120 a year to
• 25:44
  Speaker 14: lure shoppers from places like Amazon Prime and other competitors.
• 25:47
  Speaker 14: You can get both Walmart Plus and Sam's Club Plus
• 25:50
  Speaker 14: together for a lower cost than buying the two memberships separately,
• 25:54
  Speaker 14: which would be about $ 100 more. Members will get free
• 25:57
  Speaker 14: delivery and 2% cash back, along with additional perks.
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: Hmm.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Okay. Netflix is having kind of a tough time. So
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: how's it going to bounce back?
• 26:07
  Speaker 14: Yeah, so it needs to prove that it can produce
• 26:09
  Speaker 14: hit movies and TV series. To stop this slide that
• 26:12
  Speaker 14: has raised more than $ 135 billion, with a B, in
• 26:16
  Speaker 14: market value this year alone. Now, the company's taking steps
• 26:19
  Speaker 14: to improve its content and raise its audience numbers, including
• 26:22
  Speaker 14: replacing its COO, and planning to cut about 1,000 positions.
• 26:27
  Speaker 14: Investors will likely be more attuned to what content execs
• 26:30
  Speaker 14: say is coming over the next six months than the
• 26:32
  Speaker 14: company's third quarter numbers, which are actually expected to show
• 26:35
  Speaker 14: a 12% rise in revenue, which would be a good thing.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Netflix puts out good stuff. I wonder why they're having
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: such a bad go of it. This is just not
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: great news. Home insurance rates are going up.
• 26:46
  Speaker 14: Yeah, especially where you guys are. So they've risen dramatically
• 26:49
  Speaker 14: over the last decade with the average premium now exceeding
• 26:52
  Speaker 14: the average property tax bill in two thirds of U.S.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Counties.
• 26:57
  Speaker 14: Now, homeowner policies have gone up by an inflation adjusted
• 27:00
  Speaker 14: to 45 percent in a decade, with some states seeing
• 27:04
  Speaker 14: much higher jumps.
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: Get this.
• 27:06
  Speaker 14: Nebraska has seen a rise of 79 percent.
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: Now, the why is.
• 27:11
  Speaker 14: Extreme weather events, you guys were just talking about the fires,
• 27:13
  Speaker 14: of course, including hail and winter weather in some parts,
• 27:16
  Speaker 14: which is driving up insurance rates, with homeowners paying a
• 27:20
  Speaker 14: county-level average of 14% more for insurance than for property tax.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: That sucks. And it's not just here where airfares are
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: going up. Yeah.
• 27:30
  Speaker 14: Have you ever phoned Ryanair if you've been in Europe? Ryanair, EasyJet,
• 27:33
  Speaker 14: these are like the spirit of airlines over there?
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: No.
• 27:37
  Speaker 14: But they're not defunct, like spirit.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 27:39
  Speaker 14: Well, anyway, the CEO of this budget airline, Ryanair, is
• 27:43
  Speaker 14: predicting a record increase in airfares next year due to
• 27:45
  Speaker 14: the Middle East war and driving up oil prices. He
• 27:48
  Speaker 14: says ticket prices are set to increase by as much
• 27:50
  Speaker 14: as 20% next year. But that increase may not be
• 27:54
  Speaker 14: enough to cover the higher oil bills. His comments by
• 27:57
  Speaker 14: the head of Europe's largest budget carrier adds the more
• 28:00
  Speaker 14: pessimistic outlook for the aviation industry as a whole, which,
• 28:04
  Speaker 14: of course, has been forced to contend with a dramatic
• 28:06
  Speaker 14: jump in costs, even as travelers continue to splurge.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: On air tickets.
• 28:10
  Speaker 14: So who knows if what happens there happens here, meaning
• 28:13
  Speaker 14: higher and higher fare costs.
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: And note to anybody who's planning to travel for the holidays.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I was searching airfares like a month ago and then
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I was searching two weeks ago and then searching again.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: And they're just going up and up and up. So
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: if you're going to go somewhere, you might want to
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: get those booked. And one last thing. Lays is dropping
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: new flavors in time for the holidays. What do they
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: have coming out?
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:38
  Speaker 14: Why not talk about potato chips before 6 a.m., right?
• 28:40
  Speaker 14: So they include cheddar scallop style potatoes and roasted holiday turkey.
• 28:44
  Speaker 14: Those are coming out this weekend. Next month, maple bacon
• 28:49
  Speaker 14: Lay's chips. And on December 1st, add some chocolate to
• 28:53
  Speaker 14: those chips. Dipped milk chocolate and dipped Dubai chocolate. If
• 28:57
  Speaker 14: you can't get to Dubai, have a Lay's potato chip.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: I know the sweet and savory thing. I might try
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: the bacon ones. I don't know about chocolate potato chips.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: But who am I to say you shouldn't try something?
• 29:08
  Speaker 9: It gives you the sweet.
• 29:09
  Speaker 14: It gives you the salty. I mean, it's the best
• 29:11
  Speaker 14: of both worlds if I say so myself.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Okay. Well, we'll have to talk about it again and see.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: We'll do some taste testing when it comes out. Matt
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Piper with Bloomberg, getting in your business as we do
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: each weekday morning. Thank you, Matt.
• 29:22
  Speaker 12: Sure.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: When we come back, we were just talking about the
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: holidays just around the corner and lots of people are
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: going to be getting together. And that means that you
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: might be spreading the flu or COVID or RSV. So
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: we're going to be talking with Sanjay Patel with the
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: American Pharmacists Association about what you can do now to
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: protect yourself and your family and friends. ahead of the holidays.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: AM 640.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Good morning. I'm Amy King. Thanks for starting your day
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: with us. We have a new Amelia Earhart theory. We
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: think that giant coconut crabs ate her on an island
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: in the South Pacific. And apparently we're not alone. I
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: should be sleeping right now, but I'm going to get
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: up just in time to talk to you, Amy.
• 30:06

• 31:55
  Speaker 1: good morning now to Sanjay Patel with the American Pharmacists Association.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Sanjay is a doctor of pharmacy. Good morning, Sanjay.
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: Good morning, Amy. Good morning, Los Angeles.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining us. So the holidays are
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: right around the corner and lots of family and friends
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: are going to be getting together and that raises the
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: risk of you know, getting the flu or COVID or RSV.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: So let's talk this morning about what are some things
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: that we need to do to make sure that we
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: stay happy and healthy over the holidays.
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: Sure, Amy. So it's important to know, so as soon
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: as you have some symptoms, or if you realize that
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: you're getting sick, get tested and treated. Now, you in
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: California have an option of going to pharmacy and ask
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: for testing and treatment options. A lot of pharmacies can
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: provide that at you know, testing for flu, COVID, or RSV,
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: and then if you need a treatment according to your
• 32:53
  Speaker 8: health conditions, they can take care of that for you,
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: particularly if you have seniors at your home or elderly
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: that may have health conditions with diabetes, COPD, asthma, or
• 33:04
  Speaker 8: any other conditions that could put them at higher risk
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: of respiratory infections.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: OK, so you're saying that I know that you can
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: go and get like COVID tests, but you can go
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: to your pharmacy and say, I want to get tested.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I don't feel well. And then they can provide the
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: treatment to you directly. Or do you have to go
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: to a doctor or they recommend medications that you can
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: take that are over the counter?
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: No.
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: So in California, pharmacists can provide treatment for you. Not
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: all the pharmacies may not provide that, but many pharmacies
• 33:36
  Speaker 8: are providing these services. So they can test you, and
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: then once you realize that, hey, you have a flu,
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: you have a COVID, there is an option of getting
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: treatment from the pharmacy directly. Pharmacists can prescribe and furnish
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: those medications right away.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's good to know. And then what about vaccinations
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: for any of these things? You can go directly to
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: your pharmacy for some of these things, right?
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: Correct. So most pharmacies in California and most pharmacies can
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: provide vaccines Any of the FDA-approved vaccines in California, you
• 34:07
  Speaker 8: don't have to go to a doctor's office. Pharmacists can
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: do that. The important part to remember is many pharmacies
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: do walk-ins, so you don't have to make an appointment.
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: You don't have to, you know, wait in line. So
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: just depending on how busy they are, you can get
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: it done right away.
• 34:22
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: And then what about... If I'm not sure what vaccinations
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I should get, can your pharmacist recommend those, or is
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: that something that you need to go through a doctor?
• 34:30
  Speaker 8: No, absolutely. Pharmacists can recommend and review your medical history.
• 34:36
  Speaker 8: Most pharmacists who provide vaccines have an access to your
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: medical history and vaccine histories, actually, for that matter, because
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: they have an access to the state database. Unless that's
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: not reported there, then if you have your history with you,
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: you should take it with you and show it to them,
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: and then they will decide based on your age and
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: medical conditions what vaccines you should take.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's great information. I did not know that. Okay,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: so parting thoughts on a couple of things that you
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: want to make sure that you do so you don't
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: have to cancel Christmas this year.
• 35:08
  Speaker 8: The important thing, Amy, to remember is if you have
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: a doubt or if you have any symptoms, get tested.
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: The time is of essence. Anytime you have symptoms, get
• 35:18
  Speaker 8: tested and then get treatment.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, get tested and get treatment. Sanjay Patel Doctor of
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Pharmacy with the American Pharmacists Association. Hope everybody stays happy
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: and healthy this holiday. Thanks so much, Sanjay.
• 35:31
  Speaker 8: Thank you, Amy.
• 35:32
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. A lawsuit's expected to be
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: filed over the fire in San Clemente and San Juan
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Capistrano that damaged or destroyed seven homes. A complaint alleges
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: the fire Friday was caused by San Diego gas and
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: electric equipment failures. The complaint was filed yesterday on behalf
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: of a resident from San Juan Capistrano. It says the
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: utility reported an outage on its website at 1131 a.m.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: in San Clemente. Two minutes later, the Orange County Fire
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Authority reported the start of a fire. A cluster of
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: spot fires along Union Pacific Railroad tracks near Moreno Valley
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: has been stopped at just under five and a half acres.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: The fire started yesterday in an area known as the Badlands.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Two of them burned a quarter acre each and two
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: were large spot fires. Trains headed east and west through
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: the area were stopped for a while. No evacuation orders
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: or road closures were needed. A conservative think tank's poll
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: shows Californians tend to support Democratic candidates. But they're not
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: very happy about how things have been handled.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: Democrat Javier Becerra has a big lead in the governor's race,
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: and the L.A. mayor's race is between a Democrat and
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: a more liberal Democrat. But Matthew Shore of the conservative
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: Manhattan Institute says.
• 36:42
  Speaker 15: Just because Democrats seem to be performing well, set to
• 36:46
  Speaker 15: perform well at the ballot box in California, doesn't mean
• 36:49
  Speaker 15: that California's voters are thrilled with the direction of the
• 36:52
  Speaker 15: state under their current Democratic leaders.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: Only 32% said they felt the state was headed in
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: a better direction than other states. A majority say it's
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: less business-friendly than peers. And pluralities rate the state negatively
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: on infrastructure, public safety, and corruption. Mark Rauner, KFI News.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Zoom is now requiring its users to prove they're human.
• 37:10
  Speaker 10: The proof of human badges are for Zoom Enterprise users
• 37:14
  Speaker 10: as a way to confirm that people on video calls
• 37:16
  Speaker 10: are real and not some AI deepfake impersonation or someone
• 37:19
  Speaker 10: pretending to be someone they're not. WorldID checks a picture
• 37:23
  Speaker 10: using the company's iris scanning orb against a selfie and
• 37:26
  Speaker 10: live video feed. If they match, then it shows a
• 37:28
  Speaker 10: human badge to the other people in the meeting. The
• 37:30
  Speaker 10: global system comes amid a growing number of AI impersonation cases.
• 37:34
  Speaker 10: Tammy Trujillo, KFI News.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Didn't even think about that. Alberta is still a part
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: of Canada. Voters rejecting an effort to have the province
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: break away from our neighbors to the north. More than
• 37:47
