  Speaker 1: A tsunami? A bloodbath? All catchphrases. Wow. That was interesting.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: And still, the democratic process has played out once again.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: The president says he accepts the election results and isn't
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: calling foul on them. So that's a good thing, right?
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Race for mayor too close to call. Got some other
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: things still up in the air. But yeah, that was
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: an interesting election. It's going to be an interesting couple
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: of years now that we're going to have both houses
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: of Congress on the opposite side of the president. And
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: we'll bring you all up to date and keep you
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: up to date and let you know what's going on
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: every day. It's sort of like a fire hose. They
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: turn on the fire hose and the political stuff comes out.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: We'll keep you apprised of it. We've got all the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: election results and all that stuff for you. We'll get
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: you that throughout Wake Up Call and still manage somehow
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: or another to have a little bit of fun. How
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: about that? Here's what's ahead on Wake Up Call. Nithya
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Raman has taken about a 2% lead over L.A. Mayor
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Bass in the L.A. Mayor's race. The winner likely to
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: remain unknown for at least a few days as the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: ballots continue to be tallied. The next update on the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: vote is expected this afternoon. Nationally, a stunning night for
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Democrats and a devastating night for Republicans. Texas governor was unseated.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: James Tallarico clobbered Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate race.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: And in Michigan, Democratic Socialist Abdul Al-Sayed edged out Mike Rogers.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: We're going to check in on some of the big
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: races around the country that have decided the balance of power.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: We've got someone who's going to be great at this.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad we get to talk to ABC's Stephen
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Portnoy today. That's coming up in just a couple of minutes.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Opening statements are expected today in downtown L.A. in the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: second trial of the man accused of setting a fire
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: that a week later exploded into the deadly Palisades Fire.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: A jury deadlocked 10-2 in favor of acquitting Jonathan Rinderknecht
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: on three charges today. In the first trial, stemming from
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the firestorm in 2025, that became the most destructive fire
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: in L.A. history. Siri is going to be taking on
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: more apps. She's going to be able to do more
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: than just answer questions moving forward. The host of Rich
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: on Tech, Rich DeMuro, is going to tell us how
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: that's going to happen, what it means. And then Netflix
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: is turning to AI to help you find streaming shows
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to watch. Well, who needs AI? I mean, Amy's on it, right?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I'm on the stream finding some of the great and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: not so great shows. And since we're talking about balance
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: of power this morning, I thought you might want to
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: check this one out. It's an experiment on what happens
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: when the power shifts. And answering the age old question,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: can't we all just get along? This is a good one.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I think you're going to want to give it a watch.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: All right. Let's get started with some of the stories
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. And, of course,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: some of those stories are election stories. Steve Hilton has
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: conceded the California's race for governor.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: The Republican addressed disappointed supporters at his election night party
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: in Garden Grove after Democrat Javier Becerra was projected the winner.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: And I just want to tell you.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Right now that the change we hope for may be delayed.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: But the change is coming.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: But even as the party wound down, supporters insisted the
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: fight for change isn't over. Longtime campaign volunteer Tina Roth
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: says Hilton has started something bigger.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: He has awakened many people's eyes and ears to the
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: destruction and corruption of our state, and I think he's
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: just getting started.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Hilton has vowed to remain involved in California politics.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Heather Brooker, KFI News.
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: L.A.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: City Councilwoman Nithya Raman has gained a slight lead over
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Mayor Bass in the mayor's race, but Bass remained optimistic
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: at her re-election party last night.
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: Let me just say it takes a while to count
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: the vote in our city.
• 4:48
  Speaker 9: Mayor Bass talked to supporters here in the ballroom of
• 4:50
  Speaker 9: the Lowe's Hollywood Hotel, telling them just before 10 p.m.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: We will achieve victory.
• 4:55
  Speaker 9: She and Councilmember Nithya Raman went into the night tied
• 4:57
  Speaker 9: in the polls if Bass loses. She'll be the first
• 4:59
  Speaker 9: mayor since 2005 to not get a second term.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: The time before that was 1933. In Hollywood, Jason Atherton,
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: KFI News.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Looks like Robert Luna will remain sheriff in L.A.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: County.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Election results so far show him leading former sheriff Alex
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Villanueva by a very large margin. Luna has more than
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: 68 percent of the vote to Villanueva's 31. Of the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: 14 measures on the California ballot, only seven are expected
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to pass. Among them are measures to increase the state's
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: rainy day fund. Another one to make a temporary tax
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: on high earners permanent. and to change the state's recall
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: election process. A measure to authorize bonds for immunology medical
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: research is also leading, as is Prop 42, which prohibits
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: new state personal property taxes and certain retroactive state taxes.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Let's say good morning to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Can't think
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of anyone better to talk with today than Stephen. So
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: let's dive in. Wow, what a night. How did the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: races shake out?
• 6:03
  Speaker 10: I'm speaking to you this morning. You know, I'm based
• 6:05
  Speaker 10: in Washington, D.C. I mean, I'm waking up this morning
• 6:06
  Speaker 10: in New York where the headline in the New York
• 6:08
  Speaker 10: Post is a picture of Donald Trump. It's a graphic
• 6:12
  Speaker 10: being overcome by an enormous blue wave. The headline is
• 6:15
  Speaker 10: Blue Tsunami. I think that's the best encapsulation of it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 10: This was a historic repudiation for the president and his party.
• 6:22
  Speaker 10: Wins for the Democrats in places we didn't expect, in
• 6:25
  Speaker 10: ways we didn't expect. But the wave swept the whole
• 6:28
  Speaker 10: nation from coast to coast. We're still waiting on results
• 6:30
  Speaker 10: from Alaska.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: But look at this.
• 6:32
  Speaker 10: Wins for Democrats in Texas, North and South Carolina, Ohio, Kansas, Iowa, Georgia.
• 6:39
  Speaker 10: Americans are angry, according to our voter poll. They're pessimistic
• 6:43
  Speaker 10: about the future and what it means for their own kids.
• 6:45
  Speaker 10: They're unhappy with the president. They're eager for a check
• 6:48
  Speaker 10: on his power. And as we look across the map
• 6:50
  Speaker 10: and the major nationwide races we've been following for the
• 6:52
  Speaker 10: House and the Senate, the governor's races, there's not a
• 6:55
  Speaker 10: single race that Republicans can point to this morning and say, aha,
• 6:58
  Speaker 10: we won one. That is, we switched one. They may
• 7:01
  Speaker 10: have held their ground in certain respects, but they lost
• 7:03
  Speaker 10: in so many other ways. ABC News estimates that so
• 7:07
  Speaker 10: far there will be 25 pickups for the Democrats in
• 7:10
  Speaker 10: the House and seven in the Senate, which means that
• 7:14
  Speaker 10: the Senate majority for the Democrats could be anywhere from
• 7:17
  Speaker 10: 54 to 56 seats. And as an illustration of just
• 7:21
  Speaker 10: how widespread this wave was and how powerful it was,
• 7:24
  Speaker 10: right now in the state of Iowa, where last night
• 7:26
  Speaker 10: the Democrat, Josh Turek, won in the Senate race. He
• 7:30
  Speaker 10: also won in the governor's race. That's a state that
• 7:32
  Speaker 10: has four House seats. Right now, all four of them
• 7:36
  Speaker 10: are held by Republicans. Next year, three of the four
• 7:39
  Speaker 10: will be held by Democrats. Iowa turned blue overnight, as
• 7:43
  Speaker 10: did Texas, where not a single Republican won a statewide race.
• 7:48
  Speaker 10: This was a walloping of the president and his party.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, so let's talk about Texas, because... We knew that
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the race between Tallarico and Paxton was contentious and a
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: lot of money was spent on it, but the results
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: were pretty astounding.
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, look, the fact is James Tallarico... One
• 8:12
  Speaker 10: big over Ken Paxton. And Greg Abbott lost after three
• 8:16
  Speaker 10: terms to Gina Hinojosa, who becomes the first Hispanic governor
• 8:21
  Speaker 10: of Texas. The president last night on social media lashing
• 8:24
  Speaker 10: out against Greg Abbott, saying if the governor of Texas, quote,
• 8:27
  Speaker 10: hadn't become a rhino in the last six months of
• 8:30
  Speaker 10: his political life, he wouldn't have lost. which makes you
• 8:33
  Speaker 10: wonder what his argument is about Ken Paxton losing so
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: badly to a man whom the president and the vice
• 8:39
  Speaker 10: president and every other Republican tried to tar as weak
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: or even gay. They tried to insinuate he was gay
• 8:47
  Speaker 10: and that somehow he was not like other people and
• 8:52
  Speaker 10: shouldn't be elected. Texans rejected that overwhelmingly.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then the other big one was the Michigan
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: race with Al-Sayed, who it looks like it ended up
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: tightening up, but Al-Sayed ended up winning.
• 9:07
  Speaker 10: Holding that seat for the Democrats, Gary Peters, the retiring
• 9:10
  Speaker 10: Democratic senator. So that's a hold for the Democrats. It
• 9:13
  Speaker 10: doesn't change the outcome in terms of the overall makeup
• 9:15
  Speaker 10: of the Senate, but it does reflect generational change, and
• 9:18
  Speaker 10: it's a historic choice. I mean, Abdul Al-Sayed becomes the
• 9:22
  Speaker 10: first Muslim senator, and last night, As he was addressing
• 9:26
  Speaker 10: a crowd at his victory speech, he started speaking and
• 9:28
  Speaker 10: invoking Arabic phrases. So there's a lot of history that
• 9:32
  Speaker 10: was made last night. Greg Pappas, the first openly gay
• 9:34
  Speaker 10: man elected to the Senate from New Hampshire. Georgia, the
• 9:40
  Speaker 10: former Atlanta governor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, the first black woman
• 9:43
  Speaker 10: to be elected governor of any state in the country.
• 9:46
  Speaker 10: And in Wisconsin, there was the first black governor elected
• 9:50
  Speaker 10: in a man named David Crowley, who is the Milwaukee
• 9:54
  Speaker 10: County executive. So a lot of history was made by
• 9:57
  Speaker 10: Americans last night.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you forgot to mention Byron Donaldson. actually the
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: first black governor in Florida.
• 10:02
  Speaker 10: Ah, yes, that's right. You're exactly right. So three black
• 10:05
  Speaker 10: governors elected last night, one of them Republican.
• 10:07
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I have so many more questions, and I know you
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: have to go.
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: Shoot.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Steve, thanks so much. Appreciate your input this morning. We'll
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: talk soon.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: We'll try again tomorrow.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: You bet. Okay, that's great. Yeah, Steve is so good
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: at like peeling back stuff. I wanted to dig in.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: We didn't have time. But hey, let's get back to
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: some more of the stories coming out of the KFI
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: 24-hour newsroom. And of course, it's all about the election.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: President Trump watched election results at the White House. ABC's
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Steve Roberts. says the top issue voters have been talking
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: about had to do with the prices of things and
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the economy.
• 10:40
  Speaker 12: As our numbers show around the country, people are hurting
• 10:43
  Speaker 12: so badly. And I think what's really the second issue
• 10:48
  Speaker 12: is a sense that the president is not paying attention.
• 10:51
  Speaker 12: He is not focusing on the issues.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: He says gas and grocery prices were key issues in
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: this election, just as they were two years ago when
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Trump was elected president. The Senate race in Texas saw
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: a record $ 573 million spent on political ads, making it
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the most expensive non-presidential election in U.S.
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: History.
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: GOP strategist Vinny Michelo says the high spending reflects the
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: importance of the closely watched race.
• 11:17
  Speaker 13: We've got two major markets. We live in one of them.
• 11:19
  Speaker 13: And even the smaller markets are big. So it's an
• 11:23
  Speaker 13: expensive place to run ads.
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: Republican advertisers outspent Democrats by more than $ 140 million, according
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: to Ad Impact. This comes after NBC News projected Democrat
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: James Tallarico to win the Texas Senate race Tuesday night,
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: defeating Republican Ken Paxton and becoming the first Democrat to
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: win a U.S. Senate race in Texas since 1988. Tammy Trujillo,
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: KFI News.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Leaders in Iran say the Republicans' defeat in the midterms
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: shows Americans are saying no to war.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: The speaker of Iran's parliament suggested today that American voters
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: were punishing the Trump administration over the Iran war and
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: its economic consequences. Other nations also called the election a
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: referendum on the president, with French newspaper Le Monde calling
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: the results a stunning rebuke for Trump. Britain's health minister
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: called it a seismic shift in domestic politics for the Americans,
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: but added that the U.S. relationship with the U.K. remains unwavering.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: Mark Mayfield, KFI News.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I was just looking at the vote ticker and Mississippi's
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: race is so close. I believe it's the governor's race.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: It's off the screen now, so I can't see it.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: But there's been about, it looks like more than a
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: million and a half votes. It's separated by 43 votes
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: right now. Think your vote doesn't count? An inmate who
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: escaped from prison in Tennessee has been caught in Kansas City.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: ABC's Michelle Franzen says the manhunt for the convicted murderer
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: lasted for more than a week.
• 12:45
  Speaker 14: Jacob Morley was captured about an hour outside Kansas City, Missouri.
• 12:50
  Speaker 14: Tennessee corrections say Morley slipped through a fence at the
• 12:52
  Speaker 14: Northwest Correctional Complex in Tiptonville. Days later, authorities in Illinois
• 12:57
  Speaker 14: responded to a report of a stolen truck.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Police tied that stolen vehicle to the escapee. The family
• 13:02

  Speaker 1: hockey player. ABC's Erin Katursky says 24-year-old Rachel Appa collapsed
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: during the final stretch of the race Sunday.
• 13:15

• 13:18
  Speaker 15: first marathon, but by mile 18, she texted him, ow, ow.
• 13:22
  Speaker 15: He texted back, go easy. And at mile 24, Rachel collapsed.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Spectators jumped in to perform CPR before Rachel was taken
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: to the hospital where she died. And if you were
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: introduced to baking as a child, you most likely had
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: one of these. I did not, but I always wanted one.
• 13:39
  Speaker 16: Today is the day back in 1963 the Easy Bake
• 13:43
  Speaker 16: Oven was released. It sold for $ 15. 95 and a half
• 13:46
  Speaker 16: million kids were introduced to baking. It was crude. It
• 13:50
  Speaker 16: used a light bulb and took about 25 minutes to
• 13:52
  Speaker 16: bake a cake. The new models do it in 10
• 13:54
  Speaker 16: with a heating element. Chefs Bobby Flay and Emeril Lagasse
• 13:57
  Speaker 16: both say it got them into cooking. So get to it.

• 14:03
  Speaker 16: eat it too. Bree Tennis, KFI News.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I love that it cooked the cake with a light bulb.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: A light bulb.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: A light bulb. And I never got to have one.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I was like, Mom. And she's like, no, we can't
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: afford it. When we come back, Siri is going to
• 14:18

• 14:40
  Speaker 1: following in the KFI 24 hour newsroom. Mayor Bass and
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: City Councilwoman Nithya Raman are locked in a too close
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: to call race for mayor. But overnight, Raman did take
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: a slight lead. A possible factor in Rahman's favor is
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: her strong support among young voters who tend to vote
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: later and have their ballots counted later. The next batch
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: of ballots is expected to drop this afternoon. A new
• 15:05

• 15:22
  Speaker 1: voters said they were not confident that the state's election
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: would be free of federal interference. President Trump said last
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: night he accepts the election results. Towns in Arizona, Colorado,
• 15:34

• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Forecasters blaming it on El Nino. Let's say good morning
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: now to the host of Rich on Tech on KFI.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: It's KTLA's tech reporter, Rich DeMuro. So, Rich, before we
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: jump into the topics, I had a question for you
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: about streaming services, because last year for either Black Friday
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: or Cyber Monday, you had told us that they have
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: great deals. And so my question for you is, because
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: we're getting closer to that day, can you cancel your
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: services and then just re-up them at the better deal?
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Or do you know if there's a lag time? Because
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: if there is, I got to start canceling stuff right now.
• 16:19
  Speaker 11: Good question. Typically, you can cancel. Now, the problem is
• 16:23
  Speaker 11: if you still have time left on your subscription. So
• 16:26
  Speaker 11: let's say today's November 4th. and your subscription goes until,
• 16:30
  Speaker 11: let's see, when is Black Friday? Black Friday is the 27th.
• 16:33
  Speaker 11: So let's say your subscription went through the 25th, you'd
• 16:36
  Speaker 11: be okay. But if your subscription lasted through the 28th,
• 16:39
  Speaker 11: that might be a little tricky. So I take a look,
• 16:42
  Speaker 11: see what you have, and write down those dates. And
• 16:46
  Speaker 11: I will tell you, just based on last year, the
• 16:48
  Speaker 11: deals were not as good. And I don't know. I
• 16:51
  Speaker 11: haven't really seen inklings this year. I just know that
• 16:54
  Speaker 11: all the streaming service prices have gone up. So I
• 16:57
  Speaker 11: feel like they would understand that consumers are feeling the
• 17:00
  Speaker 11: pressure and might want to put out some better deals
• 17:03
  Speaker 11: this year to get people to sign up, typically for
• 17:05
  Speaker 11: a year. That's the best way to save money.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go check my subscription dates now because
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I need some deals.
• 17:14
  Speaker 11: By the way, I've got a website that's so good
• 17:17
  Speaker 11: for all these deals. It's called The Big List of
• 17:20
  Speaker 11: Streaming Deals. My friend Jared Newman writes it. And I'm
• 17:23
  Speaker 11: not kidding. If you're signing up for a subscription... Don't
• 17:28
  Speaker 11: don't sign up until you go to this page because
• 17:30
  Speaker 11: it will it lists out every single deal you could
• 17:33
  Speaker 11: ever imagine. So I will link this up in my
• 17:36
  Speaker 11: Instagram stories at Rich on Tech.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Great. The big list of streaming deals. I just wrote
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: it down, too. OK, so there's some controversy with AI. Surprise, surprise.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: And Google and schools.
• 17:48
  Speaker 11: Yeah, this is really interesting. So yesterday, New York Times
• 17:51
  Speaker 11: report comes out and says basically that, you know, because
• 17:55
  Speaker 11: there's so much controversy when it comes to AI in schools,
• 17:58
  Speaker 11: comes out and says, look, if schools want to turn
• 18:00
  Speaker 11: off our AI results, they're not going to have access
• 18:03
  Speaker 11: to traditional Google search results either. And people went, wait, what?
• 18:08
  Speaker 11: That's a big shift from Google. And you're talking, you know,
• 18:11
  Speaker 11: Google is in a lot of schools, right, with Chromebooks
• 18:13
  Speaker 11: and all this stuff. And so I think Google backtracked
• 18:16
  Speaker 11: just a little bit. They ended up putting out a
• 18:18
  Speaker 11: blog post and a tweet hours later. So I think
• 18:21
  Speaker 11: that this probably was the case. And then Google said, oh, gosh,
• 18:24
  Speaker 11: this does not look very good. So then they came
• 18:26
  Speaker 11: out with a blog post and said, hold on, let
• 18:28
  Speaker 11: us clarify. Hold on. This is what we really meant.
• 18:31
  Speaker 11: We're going to turn everything off by default, and that
• 18:34
  Speaker 11: includes Google. AI and search and Gemini Notebook, and schools
• 18:39
  Speaker 11: will have the ability to turn one, two, or all
• 18:41
  Speaker 11: three of these services on individually. So big sigh of relief,
• 18:44
  Speaker 11: very different than the headline that the New York Times had,
• 18:48
  Speaker 11: which said, if you don't take our AI, you can't
• 18:50
  Speaker 11: have our search.
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: So crisis averted, hopefully.
• 18:54
  Speaker 10: Supposedly.
• 18:54
  Speaker 11: This starts in 2027. There's still a lot of time
• 18:56
  Speaker 11: for people to forget.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: We had talked about a few weeks ago about how
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Siri has been upgraded. And it sounds like even more
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: things are changing with her.
• 19:09
  Speaker 11: Yeah, this is this is actually so Apple got to
• 19:13
  Speaker 11: get my my tech company, my my trillion dollar tech
• 19:15
  Speaker 11: company straight. Apple came out with a new round of iOS,
• 19:20
  Speaker 11: a new beta version, iOS twenty seven point three.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: And in it.
• 19:24
  Speaker 11: Couple of new things. Number one, Siri AI is now
• 19:27
  Speaker 11: open to developers so they can build on top of it.
• 19:29
  Speaker 11: What does that mean? Instead of just opening apps, Siri
• 19:33
  Speaker 11: can now do things inside of those apps. So for example,
• 19:36
  Speaker 11: if you're waiting for a ride share and you say
• 19:37
  Speaker 11: something like, oh, can you update my pickup location? It
• 19:40
  Speaker 11: will go inside the Uber or Lyft app as long
• 19:43
  Speaker 11: as they approve that and let it do things for you.
• 19:47
  Speaker 11: So this is kind of similar to what we're hearing
• 19:49
  Speaker 11: about the AI agents, which are a huge deal right now.
• 19:52
  Speaker 11: That's AI that can actually perform tasks for you. But
• 19:55
  Speaker 11: Apple's implementation doesn't really go that far. It's not taking
• 19:59
  Speaker 11: action on your behalf. It is just able to kind
• 20:01
  Speaker 11: of go inside your apps a little bit deeper and
• 20:04
  Speaker 11: do more than it was able to do before. So
• 20:06
  Speaker 11: that's kind of cool. The other thing they did is
• 20:09
  Speaker 11: they unveiled the new feature on the Apple Watch that
• 20:12
  Speaker 11: basically records and transcribes conversations all day long. So if
• 20:16
  Speaker 11: you want an ongoing note of everything that you were
• 20:19
  Speaker 11: exposed to during the day, everything that people told you,
• 20:21
  Speaker 11: everything that was said, You can turn this on, and
• 20:25
  Speaker 11: basically Siri is going to listen all day long and
• 20:29
  Speaker 11: give you notes at the end of the day, but
• 20:30
  Speaker 11: not the actual recording because Apple says there's no, like,
• 20:33
  Speaker 11: physical recording made. It's just listening and transcribing.
• 20:36
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: That's thrilling and creepy at the same time, but I
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: think it would be very good for doctor's appointments.
• 20:41
  Speaker 15: Anything.
• 20:42
  Speaker 11: I mean, look, there's so many little things. I test
• 20:44
  Speaker 11: a lot of these gadgets that do this, and they
• 20:47
  Speaker 11: are quite handy. I have one called Bee. And it
• 20:50
  Speaker 11: is wild, the stuff like I get a little synopsis
• 20:53
  Speaker 11: of my day and it's like chaotic day at home
• 20:55
  Speaker 11: with the family, but also enjoying a pumpkin patch afternoon.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: It's like, OK.
• 21:01
  Speaker 11: And it like goes through all the things that were
• 21:03
  Speaker 11: said and done. And you don't realize how many things
• 21:05
  Speaker 11: you say on a daily basis.
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah. OK.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Interesting. And then real quick, Netflix is going to help
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: you pick out the streaming shows you want to watch.
• 21:14
  Speaker 11: Yeah, this is one of those things that's like, oh,
• 21:15
  Speaker 11: I thought Netflix was already doing this, but they're not,
• 21:17
  Speaker 11: and now they are. And so if you look on
• 21:19
  Speaker 11: your TV and you see this new little box that
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: says AI Discover, you have access to this new feature
• 21:25
  Speaker 11: that basically they're using AI to give you recommendations. So
• 21:28
  Speaker 11: you know how you scroll through Netflix forever and ever
• 21:30
  Speaker 11: and ever?
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 21:31
  Speaker 11: Now they're saying, okay, here's a couple of themes that
• 21:33
  Speaker 11: we think you're interested in. Tap one of those, and
• 21:36
  Speaker 11: then you can narrow down further And we'll show you
• 21:38
  Speaker 11: a bunch of shows that we think you will like.
• 21:40
  Speaker 11: And the more that you use the feature, the better
• 21:43
  Speaker 11: the AI gets. And obviously, Netflix has decades upon decades,
• 21:48
  Speaker 11: probably two decades now of user data and how people
• 21:52
  Speaker 11: watch and what people watch. And so that's what they
• 21:54
  Speaker 11: train their AI on. And that's what they're hoping makes
• 21:57
  Speaker 11: this a better way to find something to watch because
• 21:59
  Speaker 11: Netflix is no longer cheap. And so people want to
• 22:02
  Speaker 11: feel like they're getting their value out of it.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: OK, well, who needs AI and Netflix? I'm on it.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: And I've got a great recommendation for a show for
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: you today. Rich, let's hear it. Oh, well, I'm not
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: telling you. It's coming up later on Wake Up Call.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: Oh, I got to wait.
• 22:17
  Speaker 11: That's a tease.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God. You teased me.
• 22:19
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: OK.
• 22:20
  Speaker 13: I did.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: And let this be a tease.
• 22:23
  Speaker 11: The tease becomes the teaser.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Let this be a tease. Rich is going to be
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: talking about all things tech. On Saturday from 11 to 2,
• 22:31

  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: AM 640.

  Speaker 1: You know, we love it when you hit us up
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: on the talk back if you have something to share,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: something to say. We were talking about Easy Bake Ovens
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: a little bit earlier.
• 23:10
  Speaker 10: Good morning, Amy.
• 23:11
  Speaker 17: Happy birthday, Easy Bake Oven. Hey, I have to tell
• 23:14
  Speaker 17: you a quick story. I never had an Easy Bake
• 23:17
  Speaker 17: Oven either because my mom always said, you can use
• 23:20
  Speaker 17: the bake oven. You're a big girl now.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: I was four.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: Anyway, I mentioned this.
• 23:25
  Speaker 13: Story to a co-worker of mine years ago. And when
• 23:29
  Speaker 13: I turned.
• 23:29
  Speaker 17: 40, she bought me an Easy Bake Oven and I
• 23:33
  Speaker 17: loved baking in it. And I wish I still had
• 23:35
  Speaker 17: that Easy Bake Oven, but I got the bake oven now.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: What a great present when you're 40 years old to
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: get an easy bake oven. That's so fun. Again, you
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: can hit us up anytime on the Talkback. It's the
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: little microphone in the upper right-hand corner if you're listening
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. Here's what we're following in the
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: KFI 24-hour newsroom. The proposed wealth tax appears to be
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: headed for defeat. with more than 56% of votes counted
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: opposing Prop 40. Prop 39, the voter ID measure, also
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: appears headed for defeat, with nearly 60% of the votes
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: counted opposing it. Proposition 45, which would speed environmental reviews
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: for qualifying houses and infrastructure projects, also appeared headed to defeat.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: It's trailing 54 to 46%. Doctors have warned of a
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: potentially severe flu and respiratory illness season in Southern California.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: It comes after the San Bernardino County Public Health Department
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: confirmed its first flu-related death of the season. With a
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: severe El Nino weather event expected to bring heavy rain
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: to Southern California this winter, L.A. Fire's going to be
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: handing out sandbags starting this weekend. Residents can get up
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: to 25 free pre-filled sandbags. The first distributions happen Saturday
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: at L.A. Fire Station 58 on South Fairfax. and at
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Station 89 in Agora Hills. At 6.05, it's Handel on
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: the News. I feel like Bill's going to be smiling
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: big today. Just a thought. I think he's going to
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: have something to talk about. Yeah, he might have a
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: thing or two to say about the election. Maybe. Or
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: maybe it'll be just a nice quiet morning on Handel
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: on the News. Who knows? City Councilwoman Nithya Raman has
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: a slight lead in the race for mayor of L.A.,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: but the votes are still being counted. Mayor Bass was
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: confident last night at her party in Hollywood.
• 25:21
  Speaker 12: Will we win this?
• 25:22
  Speaker 13: Yes!
• 25:23
  Speaker 9: Mayor Bass told supporters it's going to take a while
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: to count the vote, but in the end she knows
• 25:26
  Speaker 9: she'll be rival and former friend Councilmember Nithya Raman.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I love Los Angeles.
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: I believe in the city, and I will always fight
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: for the city that we deserve.
• 25:37
  Speaker 9: Bass is looking for a second term. She went into
• 25:39
  Speaker 9: last night tied with Raman, according to the latest polling.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Four more years!
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: In Hollywood, Jason Athenson, KFI News.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Right now, Nithya Raman holds about a 2% lead. That
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: was from the vote count that came out overnight. We're
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: going to expect the next round of votes to drop
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: this afternoon. Voter turnout in L.A. was higher this time
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: than in 2022. About 36% of voters cast ballots. Four
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: years ago, voter turnout in the county was 28%. The
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: county registrar recorder's office says more than 2 million ballots
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: have been processed and counted so far. 1.5 million people
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: voted by mail. More than 387,000 made their choices in person.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: A longtime congresswoman for Southern California has now become the
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: oldest serving member of Congress. She's 88.
• 26:28
  Speaker 18: Congresswoman Maxine Waters was running up against a virtual unknown
• 26:32
  Speaker 18: in political circles and managed to only spend about a
• 26:34
  Speaker 18: million dollars in campaign ads, but walked away with nearly
• 26:37
  Speaker 18: 80 percent of the vote. Waters was first elected to
• 26:40
  Speaker 18: Congress back in 1990 and bucked the trend of the
• 26:43
  Speaker 18: midterms of younger Democrats with fiery speeches on the campaign trail.
• 26:47
  Speaker 18: She was recently asked if her age played a role,
• 26:50
  Speaker 18: and she scoffed, saying that she's got more energy than
• 26:52
  Speaker 18: most young people. Jason Campadonia, KFI News.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Votes are still being counted in the Alaska Senate race
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: between Democrat Mary Peltola. And Republican Dan Sullivan. Sullivan is
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: barely leading. He spoke to supporters last night and criticized
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Peltola's campaign.
• 27:09
  Speaker 19: My opponent has run her campaign on literally from the beginning,
• 27:15
  Speaker 19: purposely misleading Alaskans, cheating and then lying for the last year.
• 27:20
  Speaker 15: And a half.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: The campaign has been overshadowed by a report that Peltola's
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: campaign searched out a voter named Daniel Sullivan. to run
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: against the incumbent Daniel Sullivan to confuse voters. Time to
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: get in your business as we do each weekday morning
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: and say good morning to Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini. So investors
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: are reacting positively to the election last night.
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and political pundits, including those at Washington Publication, Washington Sun,
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: calling it a blue nami. across the country. Well, we're
• 27:52
  Speaker 8: seeing a green NAMI on Wall Street this morning, for sure,
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: as investors respond to the strong Democratic wins. Right now,
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: Dow futures, they're up 912 points. S & P futures
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: gaining 65, NASDAQ futures up 62. The green wave also
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: being celebrated as investors respond to the prospect of dealing
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: with gridlock in Washington. That's supposed to be good for businesses, right?
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: So that may be coming into play as well as
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: some expectation that the cost of living could come down
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: or at least crude oil prices if something is done
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: to end the war in the Middle East. So all
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: that sort of playing into focus this morning, but a
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: different picture for data centers.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So we know that the Democratic Party has been
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: very critical of data centers and Trump has been, you know, build, go,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: full steam ahead. So what's the skinny?
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: Especially places like Texas. Texas is really the epicenter of
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: all this because Texas is where a lot of these
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: data centers are being built because of, you know, the
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: energy connection, right? There's a lot of property in Texas. Yeah,
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: there's a lot of property that's already zoned for data
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: centers or at least capable of getting this power. But
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: the new governor-elect there has called for an immediate moratorium
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: on data center development. And Bloomberg is now reporting that
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: Democratic victories across the nation could leave half of their
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: proposed AI data center additions planned across the country vulnerable
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: to stricter local scrutiny and pushback, possibly Come to an end.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: There's going to be so many ramifications of this election.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: It's going to be crazy. CVS breaking into two. What's up?
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: They're splitting off their retail pharmacy business into a new
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: company called CVS Pharmacy. This is CVS Health, right, which
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: is the conglomerate. So there will be CVS Pharmacy branching.
• 29:40
  Speaker 20: Off.
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: That'll happen in the first half of 2028 as the
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: pharmacy business is separated from the Aetna Insurance Unit and
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: Caremark Pharmacy Benefits Division, so they can kind of maximize
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: investment and profits, I guess.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Okay. And fewer people go into McDonald's, but they're spending
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: more when they go, so that's got to be good
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: for McDonald's.
• 30:00
  Speaker 16: I know.
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: I've been thinking about this. Fewer people are going to McDonald's.
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: Sales fell less than feared, though, in the last quarter
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: because the diners who did go, they spent more per visit.
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: And that offset the traffic decline. So this is all about,
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: you know, can a company... make things more enticing, either
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: upsell people or just charge more to its most devoted fans, right?
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: And make more money.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: If you build it, they will pay.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Denise Pellegrini, getting in your business as we do each
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: weekday morning. We'll talk to you tomorrow morning.

  Speaker 1: When we come back, Amy's on it. I'm on the
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: stream finding out some of the great shows and some
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: of the not so great shows. And since we're talking
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: about balance of power this morning, I thought you might
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: want to check this one out. It's an experiment on
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: what happens when the power shifts and kind of answers
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: the age old question. Can't we all just get along?
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: We'll see.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: AM 640.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for starting your day with us today.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Here's what we're following in the KFI 24 hour newsroom.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: A proposed half cent sales tax hike is projected to
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: pass Sunday.
• 31:15
  Speaker 18: The L.A.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: City measure would provide the fire department with an extra
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: $ 345 million a year. Measure FD is leading 53 to
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: 47 percent. Twenty-two people have been arrested for participating in
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: street takeovers in the Southland. Members of the sheriff's street
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: takeover task force made the arrests in Carson, Compton, Linwood, Commerce, Lakewood,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: and several unincorporated areas.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: The L.A.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Department says large groups of people from Northern
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: California traveled to L.A. County today to take part in
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: illegal events that were dubbed Bay to L.A. The streets
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: of San Francisco, speaking of the Bay, are going to
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: be filled with WNBA fans today celebrating the Golden State Valkyries'
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: first WNBA title. The parade kicks off at noon along
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: the city's waterfront at the Ferry Building, wraps up at
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Oracle Park. What am I on? I'm on the stream
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: because there's so much there. And I know Rich DeMuro
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: told us that Netflix is going to start picking shows
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: for you. But you know what? I like to get
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: my show recommendations from people. And this one actually came
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: from producer Anne. We were talking one day and she's like, oh,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: have you seen this? And I was like, no. So
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: I sat down and binged that sucker. It's the new
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Stanford Prison Experiment on Netflix. And I thought it was
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: a good one for today because we're talking about balance
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: of power.
• 32:44
  Speaker 13: So.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: It's six episodes. They're all available. And here's the deal.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: 30 people agree to participate in an experiment. They're going
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: to prison for 14 days voluntarily. Some of the participants
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: are named as guards, others as prisoners. And they're people
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: from all walks of life, from CEOs to salespeople, bartenders
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: to oil rig supervisors. And this experiment was done, and
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: it is a documentary. as a follow-up to the 1971
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Stanford Prison Experiment, where students were assigned to be guards
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: or inmates. But the director stopped that experiment after just
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: six days because instead of making it for two weeks,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: the student guards became super abusive. The student prisoners suffered
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: severe emotional trauma, anxiety, and breakdowns. And so they just
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: had to call it off after six days. So this
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: time they thought, you know what, that one ended so great,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: let's do it again. But this time the participants are
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: placed in a real prison, obviously apart from the other inmates,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: and they have their own pod. There are four phases
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: to the experiment, and first they transition into jail life
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: or guard life, and then they have to create leaders,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: and then they flip the tables, and some of the
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: inmates become guards, and some of the guards become inmates.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: And then they take off all the guardrails and see
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: what happens. So it's really fascinating, kind of like looking
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: into the human psyche, like how they react to being
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: locked up, even though they're not really locked up. I mean,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: they can get out at any time. Looking at how
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: people handle power, like do they abuse it or do
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: they use it for good? They look at conflict and
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: resolution and camaraderie. And it's interesting to see how the
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: people react when they're put in positions of power or powerlessness.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Positions of submission. How do they handle the stress? How
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: do they come together? How do they fall apart? And
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: this documentary looks at all of that. Did the experiment
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: make it the full 14 days? Or did it end
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: early like the first Stanford prison experiment? You're going to
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: have to watch to see. And whatever way it ends,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: it's a show I think you don't want to miss.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I'm on it. I think you should be too. It's
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the new Stanford show. Prison Experiment, the new Stanford Prison Experiment.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: And it's on Netflix. And as I mentioned, all six
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: episodes are out. It's a fun watch. Let's get back
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: to some of the stories coming out of the KFI
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: 24-hour newsroom. The measure to require voter ID in California
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: has failed. The count so far shows nearly 59% of
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: voters said no. Some blame Attorney General Rob Bonta for
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: rewording the ballot title earlier this year from Republicans. establishes
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: additional voter id and citizenship verification requirements they switched it
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: to prohibit citizens from voting unless they present government-issued identification
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: a lawsuit was filed over the change but a judge
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: in sacramento sided with the attorney general news brought to
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: you by pacific coast termite democrats are now set to

  Speaker 1: Democratic majority takes over in January. He says Democratic leadership
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: will reassert congressional power.
• 36:12
  Speaker 20: We don't work for the president. We don't work for
• 36:14
  Speaker 20: the vice president. We don't work for the Supreme Court.

  Speaker 20: We work for all of you, the American people.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Jeffries says people are crying out for transformational change and
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: the Democrats hear them. President Trump held back from posting
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: on Truth Social as the election results rolled in last night.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: But he eventually let loose.
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: After three hours of silence, President Trump posted online that
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: he was not on the ballot, and if he was,
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: Republicans would have won in a landslide. He followed that
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: up with a post saying that if Texas Governor Greg
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: Abbott had not become a Republican in name only or
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: RINO in the last six months of his political life,
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: he would not have lost. Abbott has been a supporter
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: of President Trump. Trump also posts that he's going to
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: become a political pundit, both good and bad, on the
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: reasons candidates won and lost. And he posted what resembled
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: a red MAGA hat, but with the word VETO in
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: big white letters. Jennifer Kuiper, KFI News. The NTSB says

• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Transportation Safety Board member Tom Chapman says the elevator controls
• 37:34

• 37:39
  Speaker 1: a nosedive. All nine people on board the Learjet were
• 37:42
