  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.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: K-F-I-N-K-O-S-T-H-D-2. Los Angeles. Orange County.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Boys and girls of every age, would you like to
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: see something strange?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Come with us and you will see.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: This our town of Halloween.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: This is Halloween.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: This is Halloween. Pumpkins screaming in the dead of night.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: This is Halloween.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: Everybody make a scene.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: It's time for your morning wake-up call.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Here's Amy King.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I haven't watched this this season. Nightmare Before Christmas. But
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I still have three days until Halloween.
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: It took me about the third time of watching that
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: for me to go, okay, I really dig this.
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: The first time I saw it, I didn't like it
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: at all. But now I do. Yeah. Hey, someone said
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: there was a World Series going on. So I thought,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you know, I should tune it in because they could
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: wrap it up tonight because the Brewers were leading three
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to nothing. But boy, those Tampa Bay Rays came back
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: still alive with a 4-3 X-Trainings win over Milwaukee in
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Game 4. It was good. Game five is tonight on Fox.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I think I'm going to have to watch it. I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: haven't been watching the series at all, you know, because, well, Dodgers.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: But Milwaukee, they beat the Dodgers soundly. And they are.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: And I've said it several times. And I've heard other
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: commentators like the real sports people say they're scrappy. And
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I like that about them. So I'm cheering for Milwaukee
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and we'll see if they can wrap it up tonight.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Also.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: The McRib back on McDonald's menu as of yesterday.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Did you try it?
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: For a limited time, and I had to take the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: cat to the vet. And on the way home, there
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: was a McDonald's, so I pulled in and got a McRib.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: And I actually got two because I was going to
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: bring them so the whole group could have one. And
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I forgot it.
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: Boo!
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I know. It's pretty good. Pretty good.
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Available for a limited time.
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 2:31
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Here's what's ahead on Wake Up Call. An L.A. federal
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: judge says he's going to rule today on the Trump
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: administration's emergency request to direct California election officials to set
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: aside about 20,000 mail-in ballots cast by possible non-citizens. The
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: judge says election officials have until December 3rd, the date
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: by which election results have to be certified, to resolve
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the issue, suggesting that there's no immediate need for a
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: last-minute temporary restraining order. More flooding possible as king tides
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: rise again this morning. A portion of the Redondo Beach
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Pier flooded yesterday. And PCH was closed in both directions
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: between Seal Beach and Huntington Beach. Of course, Will's going
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to let you know if it's shutting down again today.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: There's no clear winner in Israel's election for prime minister.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: The race is tight between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: party and the centrist Yashar party led by former military
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot. The election had the highest
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: turnout since at least 1999. Results are expected to come
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: out in the next 48 hours. We're going to get
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the latest on the election, see if we have any
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: updates this morning, and also what could happen next with
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: ABC's Jordana Miller that's coming up in just a couple
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: of minutes. Hackers are always trying to get into your stuff, right? Well,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro has a quick tip to keep them from
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: getting into your phone. Also, how to give your phone
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: wireless access to your car. You don't have to plug
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: it in anymore. And new Apple products are about to
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: hit the market. That's all coming up with Rich DeMuro,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: our tech guy, at 520. And Amy's on it. I'm
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: on the stream checking out movies. Sometimes I actually go
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: to the movies. And I had to go because this
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: movie is all the buzz. It did better in theaters
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the second week of release than it did in its
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: first weekend out. We'll tell you everything about it. Well,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: not everything, because then you wouldn't have to go see it.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: That's coming up on Wake Up Call. Let's get started
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: with some of the stories coming out of the KFI
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: 24-hour newsroom. Flooding continues to damage some beach communities in
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Southern California, with more high tides expected to cause trouble today.
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: Yesterday, Pacific Coast Highway had to be shut down in
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: the Sunset Beach neighborhood between Seal Beach and Huntington Beach.
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: Flooding also closed the Redondo Beach Pier. Some neighborhoods in
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: Newport Beach were also flooded. That could happen again today,
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: and the king tides are expected to continue tomorrow. Until
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: tomorrow afternoon, Mark Mayfield, KFI News.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: A three-month pilot program to install license plate reading cameras
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: on streetlights in the West San Fernando Valleys moving forward.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: After a veto attempt by the L.A. City Council failed
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: by one vote, supporters say the technology helps police prevent
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and solve crime. Opponents have raised privacy concerns. People struggling
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: with their utility bills in the city of L.A. now
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: have a little breathing room.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: The LADWP has approved a resolution to suspend shutoffs due
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: to nonpayment through the end of the year unless they're
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: required for safety. The board has also called for a
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: review of electricity rates. Publicity and marketing will also be
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: increased for programs at lower electric and water use permanently
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: and for financial rebates to reduce bills before next summer.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Aileen Gonzalez, KFI News.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. So, Jordana,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: things not looking great for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu?
• 5:49
  Speaker 9: Well, that's what we thought last night when the initial
• 5:52
  Speaker 9: exit polls came out. But through the night, even the
• 5:57
  Speaker 9: media outlets that put out those exit polls, they started
• 6:01
  Speaker 9: to readjust their numbers. And now we have over 70%
• 6:06
  Speaker 9: of the Israeli vote counted. And the Israeli prime minister has...
• 6:12
  Speaker 9: actually performed well in this election. I wouldn't say he
• 6:16
  Speaker 9: is a shoe in. He's still several seats away from
• 6:21
  Speaker 9: the 61-seat majority. But at this point, we cannot discount
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. His own party, Likud, is
• 6:31
  Speaker 9: now leading Eisenkot's Yashar party by five seats. And his
• 6:38
  Speaker 9: block of right-wing parties has now also sprung ahead of
• 6:43
  Speaker 9: Eisenkot and the opposition, again, by about five seats. If
• 6:47
  Speaker 9: we zoom out, Netanyahu, again, is still five or six
• 6:52
  Speaker 9: or seven or eight seats short of a majority. And
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: Eisenkot and his team are about 10. There's still hundreds
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: of thousands of votes to be counted. So we'll see
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: how things shake out. But there's no clear winner. And
• 7:07
  Speaker 9: whereas last night we thought Netanyahu might be shown the door,
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: he's fighting on and he could come up with a
• 7:14
  Speaker 9: way to form a government. We're going to have to
• 7:17
  Speaker 9: wait and see. One of the other surprises of this election, Amy,
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: is just how well the Arab Israeli parties did, the
• 7:25
  Speaker 9: Arab citizens of Israel. They turned out in droves. you know,
• 7:32
  Speaker 9: exercising their democratic rights here in Israel. And they are
• 7:36
  Speaker 9: going to end with about 17 seats, it looks like,
• 7:40
  Speaker 9: which is or even 18. That's the highest number they've
• 7:44
  Speaker 9: ever had. At one point, they had 15 seats. But
• 7:47
  Speaker 9: this year, they are squarely in the middle of two
• 7:51
  Speaker 9: sides of their sandwiched between the Netanyahu's block and Isingkot's block.
• 7:58
  Speaker 9: And that makes them, in a sense, the kingmakers, because
• 8:02
  Speaker 9: anyone who wants a coalition may have to rely on
• 8:06
  Speaker 9: the Arab parties. So it's going to be very interesting
• 8:10
  Speaker 9: and probably going to take several weeks before we know
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: who is going to be able to form a government.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: OK, so Jordan, I have a question for you, because
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: you as you said, we've talked about before the system
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: in Israel works different than here. So you say he's
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: short of a majority. So when people are voting, are
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: they voting for Prime Minister Netanyahu or are they voting
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: for the people to be his coalition?
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: They're voting for.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: They're voting for parties.
• 8:39
  Speaker 10: OK.
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: So when they vote for Likud, he's at the head
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: of the party. And so they're voting for Netanyahu. And
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: their hope is those that support Netanyahu is that he
• 8:50
  Speaker 9: will come out on top as the largest party, that
• 8:54
  Speaker 9: his block will be large enough to form a majority.
• 8:56
  Speaker 9: And then he will sit in at the helm of
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: another Israeli government for four years.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: OK, what if he doesn't get a majority, though? How
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: do you?
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Can you get there after the voting?
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: That's where he is. Yeah. So what happens?
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: What you can do is you.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: So he will have to negotiate with either the Arab
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: parties or the parties in the opposition to join him
• 9:18
  Speaker 9: to add on to his coalition to hit 61 seats.
• 9:23
  Speaker 9: He needs to coax people to join him. It's unclear
• 9:26
  Speaker 9: that he can do that. And if he fails to
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: do that, we're going to see another Israeli election called
• 9:33
  Speaker 9: in the next six or eight weeks.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 9:35
  Speaker 9: But all the while, Amy, all the while, Netanyahu remains
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: the caretaker prime minister.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: So he.
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: Decides to go back into war against iran.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Right which is what we're hearing right now yeah okay
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: right okay well we will be watching it thanks for
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: explaining it it's very confusing and different than here it
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: is it is it is all right we'll be watching
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: it and we'll be talking to you more about it.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Jordana. I appreciate it. Okay.
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: Talk soon.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. A high-speed train in Spain
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: has crashed into the back of a train that was
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: stopped on the tracks, killing at least 30 people. Authorities
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: say the crash happened this morning in Toledo province. The
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: collision derailed two cars and suspended rail service between Madrid,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Cuidad Real and Andalusia. Emergency workers are focusing on rescuing
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: survivors and recovering bodies. The Federal Reserve expected to leave
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: interest rates alone when the board meets today, even though
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: inflation has gone up in the past couple of months.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: The Fed's latest policy meeting wraps up less than a
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: week before the midterm elections, which have focused heavily on
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: concerns about the cost of living and affordability. The Fed
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: wants to return inflation to its 2% target, which it
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: typically does by raising short-term interest rates. The parents of
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: a man from Minneapolis shot and killed by an ICE
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: agent during the Trump administration's immigration crackdown this year say
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: they want transparency and justice for their son. It's been
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: nine months since nurse Alex Preddy's death. ABC News legal
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: contributor Brian Buckmeyer says federal law requires victims to be
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: informed of developments in the investigation, but the family hasn't
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: been told anything.
• 11:22
  Speaker 11: Now, there could be an investigation going on and the
• 11:24
  Speaker 11: family just doesn't know about it, but that would be
• 11:26
  Speaker 11: a very strange set of circumstances going on.
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: So the assumption is there's no investigation, at least at
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: the federal level.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: At the state level, Hennepin County D.A. Mary Moriarty was
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: also reportedly arrested. being stonewalled in terms of access to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the case. Serial killer Ted Bundy has been linked to
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the murder of a teenager in Utah in 1974 through DNA.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: The announcement yesterday came 52 years after the girl's body
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: was discovered. Bundy killed at least 30 women and girls
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: back in the 1970s. He was executed in 1989. Florida
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Democratic Socialist Senate candidate Angie Nixon is drawing a lot
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: of criticism for not acknowledging Cuba is a dictatorship. During
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: a CBS interview, she said that is what people had
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: told her, but she said she's never been to Cuba,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: so she's going to have to leave it up to
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: others and take their word for it. Critics from both
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: parties jumped on that. Nixon later said she believes Cuban
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Americans who describe Cuba as a dictatorship should be believed
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and accused CBS of mischaracterizing her comments.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: L.A.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Isn't the only city making it harder for drivers. The
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: main street for shopping in Britain is now car-free.
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: London's Oxford Street has become permanently pedestrian-only in an effort
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: to re-establish it as a global shopping hotspot. Half of
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: the 1.2 mile long, or 1.9 kilometer, because it's not
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: the U.S., is closed to cars, buses, bicycles, and scooters.
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: A $ 170 million project, or 127 million pounds, because it's
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: not the U.S., is designed to boost foot traffic, add
• 13:04
  Speaker 8: more than 700 jobs, and put more than $ 90 million,
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: 67 million pounds, into the local economy a year. The
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: mayor of London says next up are trees, outdoor seating,
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: and more lighting while getting rid of American candy and
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: vape stores. Michael Crozier, KFI News.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, get rid of that American candy. When we come back,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: you know, hackers are always trying to get into your stuff.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Our tech guy, Rich DeMuro, has a quick Tip to
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: keep them from getting into your phone. Ooh, I'm going
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: to pay attention closely to that. Also, if you have
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: to plug your phone in to get it to talk
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: to your car, there's a new little gadget that you
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: can get, and then you have wireless connection, like in
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the new cars. Plus, new Apple products about to hit
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the market. It's all coming up next with the host
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: of Rich on Tech on KFI, Rich DeMuro.
• 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
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: three-month pilot program to install license plate reading cameras on
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: streetlights in the West San Fernando Valleys moving forward after
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: a veto attempt by the L.A. City Council failed by
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: one vote. Supporters say the technology helps police prevent and
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: solve crime. Opponents say there are privacy concerns. A judge
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: has dismissed a murder charge against the mother of a
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: 17-month-old boy who died after ingesting fentanyl, but rejected a
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: motion to dismiss a murder charge against the boy's grandfather.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: The mother had the boy for what was supposed to
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: be a monitored visit at a home in Lancaster. Her
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: attorney says the woman had been asleep, went to her
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: son's aid when she woke up, saw him in distress,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: and called 911. The Pasadena Tournament of Roses has crowned
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: its 2027 Rose Queen. Eagle Rock High School's Irene Maddox
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: will lead the Rose Court for festivities leading up to
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl game on New Year's Day.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Each court member... gets a $ 7, 500 academic scholarship. Very cool.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: The Rose Queen coronation dates back to 1905. At 6.05,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: it's handle on the news. Israel is awaiting election results
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: and it's tight. Will Benjamin Netanyahu keep his position as
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: prime minister still up in the air? Let's say good
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: morning now to the host of Rich on Tech on KFI.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: It's KTLA's tech reporter, Rich DeMuro. Morning, Rich.
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: Good morning to you, Amy.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, so this first one that we're going to talk
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: about is your phone and hackers, because you know that
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: hackers are always trying to get in your stuff, but
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: you've got a way to prevent it.
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mentioned this on my radio show over the weekend,
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: and a lot of people are like, wait, what?
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: What?
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: And so this is— SIM swapping is nothing new. This has
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: been going on for a long time. Basically— a hacker
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: would trick your wireless company into letting them take over
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: your phone number. So literally you're looking at your phone,
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: as you're looking at it, the bars go away and
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: it just, your phone number is gone and now your
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: phone is just saying like SOS and you're like, wait,
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: what just happened? And then the hackers go to work
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: because now they have control of your phone number. What
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: do they do next? They start resetting all of your
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: accounts using those two-factor codes that you get texted to
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: your phone to help them do that. So to make
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: sure that this does not happen, you need to turn
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: on what's called SIM protection or port-out protection. All the
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: wireless companies offer it, AT & T, T-Mobile, Verizon, We
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: were recording this story yesterday for a segment on KTLA.
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: My photographer and I were going, hold on. Why isn't
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: this just enabled by default?
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: It's not. Yeah.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: OK.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: And is it do we go to settings? Can we
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: do it on the phone or where do you do it?
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: You basically have to do it through your your app.
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: So if you have AT & T, T-Mobile or Verizon,
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: you go into the app and you look for what's
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: called SIM protection. They all have different, slightly different names.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: AT & T makes it the easiest. They call it
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: wireless account lock. You basically slide the lock over and
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: it locks down your entire account. T-Mobile calls it SIM protection.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: And then Verizon also calls it, let's see, what do
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: they call it? SIM number lock. So I've got all
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: the instructions on the website, richontech.tv. Take like two seconds
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: to do this. The only caveat, I will tell you this,
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: if you switch your device a lot, like if you're
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: always putting your SIM card into a new phone like
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: I am, this is probably not the best idea because
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: you will need to turn this off and turn it
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: back on every single time you want to make any
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: sort of account change. But if you just use your
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: phone like normal people, then I would put this on.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: So if you were traveling and did an eSIM, would
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: that be something you didn't want on? Or is that
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: a different issue altogether?
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: No, that should be fine.
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: It's only when you're trying to move your SIM out
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: of your phone or move your phone number to a
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: different carrier, that's when these things kind of kick in.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, so take two minutes and save your phone from
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: those nasty little hackers. OK, here we we always like
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: to bring up scams and we've got another one where
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: somebody appears to be contacting you from the Federal Trade Commission.
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, look, we always roll our eyes at
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: these and we say, come on, who really falls for
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: stuff like this?
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: But clearly they do.
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: The FTC says scammers are now pretending to be them
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: and they call you up and they threaten to shut
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: off your phone number unless you cooperate. And so they
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: may ask you to basically send them money. They may
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: transfer you to a fake police officer who asks for
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: your ID and personal information. I mean, it's a whole scam.
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: They might ask you to, like I said, send them money.
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: So it's probably fake. If someone calls you up and says, hey,
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: we noticed you're doing some illegal things with your phone
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: number over in Europe, just say, really?
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: Explain.
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Just like with everything else, just approach everything with just
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit of skepticism.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: Oh, everything nowadays. I mean, literally, I had a text
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: message came in last week, and it was from someone
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: I didn't know. And they said, hey, Rich. And they
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: had my name. And they said, can we discuss? I
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: run a business doing this. I'd love to run this
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: by you. And I just deleted it. And I get home.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: My wife is like, hey, did you get that message
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: from our neighbor? He wanted to talk to you about something.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: I said, no.
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: I was wondering how he got. I mean, I don't
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: I you know, I knew my neighbor's name, but I
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: didn't put two and two together. And next thing you know,
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: I had to go into my deleted messages and I
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: felt bad. But, you know, if you're just cold texting me,
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: you know, and I don't really know the context, it's
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: going to go into the trash.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: All right. Let's talk about this thing that can update
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: your your car to a wireless connection.
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, this is pretty sweet. So you're familiar with the
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: concept of CarPlay, right, which is your iPhone kind of
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: on your screen. There's also Android Auto. Well, a lot
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: of the older cars did that with a wired cable.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: So you'd have to plug your phone in and that's
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: how it would show your phone information on your screen. Well,
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: a lot of people like the convenience of wireless. So
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: for 40 bucks, This device called the 12 South Airfly Drive,
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: you basically plug it into your Bluetooth on your car,
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: you connect your phone to it, and as long as
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: you already have, your car has to already have CarPlay
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: or Android Auto. As long as it's wired, it will
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: now be wireless. So when you get into your car,
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: your phone stuff will show up right on your screen,
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: no problem. And I like this company because they've been
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: making iPhone accessories for a very long time. So I
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: trust them because there's a lot of companies that make
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: stuff like this. They're not as good. They're not all
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: that good.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: All right. And the new cars have that wireless technology.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: So it's cars that they have the screens but just
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: not the brand new, right?
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: Correct.
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: It's like if you're just bugged out that you have
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: to plug in your phone every time you get into
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: your car to do Android Auto or CarPlay, this is
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: for you.
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: Okay. Okay.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: We talked about the first world problems. I know, right?
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: We talked about the iPhone Duo last week, and you
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: had said that you liked it. There's a couple of
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: features you didn't like, like there's no face recognition. But
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: one of the complaints that are popping up, and I
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: don't know how prevalent it is, is that the screens
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: are already cracking.
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's tough to tell how prevalent this is because,
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: you know, I don't think a lot of people have
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: this device.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: But here's the deal.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: There are People posting pictures of their cracked inner screen.
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: We saw the same thing happen with all the foldables
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: that have come out in the past. The reality is
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: Apple says, yeah, we've seen this a couple of times.
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: If you have a problem, bring it into the store.
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: It doesn't seem to be widespread at this point, but
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: we will see. These kind of things have a way
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: of percolating and expanding if a lot of people have
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: that issue. I think on the flip side, we have
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: a big event from Apple today, so I think there's
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: more pressing kind of Apple stuff on the horizon. They
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: are expected to come out with their first product. touchscreen
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: laptop today, which I think is kind of a big deal.
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: But we'll keep an eye on the whole iPhone Duo situation.
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: If the screens are cracking in a big way, we
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: will let you know. But the only thing I will
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: tell you is that if this does happen, it seems
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: to happen instantly, like right when you take it out
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: of the box, which tells me it's like a manufacturing
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: defect versus like a long-term issue.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Gotcha.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: And you just take it back to the store and
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: they'll fix it. Or get you a new one.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Hopefully they give you a new one.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Hopefully.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: I don't want to fix screen my first day.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: That's true. Good point. So tell them you don't want
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: them to fix the screen. Tell them, give me a
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: new phone, man. Say it just like that.
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: Tell them Amy sent you.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that carries a lot of weight, I'm sure. To
• 22:25

  Speaker 1: Still to come on Wake Up Call, Amy's on it.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm not only on the stream, sometimes I actually
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: go to the movie theater. I kind of have a
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: funny story about my latest trip to the movie theater, too.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: It's sort of a big old cluster. You know what?
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: But anyway, this show is has so much buzz. I
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: had to go. So we'll tell you everything about it. Well,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: not everything, because then you wouldn't have to go see it.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: AM 640.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Here's what we're following in the KFI 24-Hour Newsroom. A
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: state court has ruled that local governments in California have
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: to quickly approve applications to build accessory dwelling units. Those
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: are ADUs next to homes, as long as all the
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: paperwork is correctly filled out. The court also says cities
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: are going to have to pay damages if they wrongly
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: reject a housing application. The court said that if an
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: ADU project meets basic state rules, cities cannot add extra
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: requirements or delays. A state appeals court has upheld the
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: conviction of former That 70s Show actor Danny Masterson. He's
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: serving a 30 years to life prison term for raping
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: two women at his Hollywood Hills home in the early 2000s.
• 24:03
  Speaker 9: The L.A.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: City Council has taken further action to try to boost
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: local film production. Following another decline on on-location filming during
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: the third quarter of 2026, City Council voted to establish
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: a free micro-shoot permit.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Free.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: For projects with 10 or fewer filmmakers on site, and
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: also separately instructed city departments to explore reducing some filming
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: fees at certain city locations to just $ 1 per day. Okay,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: did you see the latest People magazine just came out?
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Sexiest Man Alive? Noah Wiley from The Pit.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, the picture's great. It's a great cover shot.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: And that's nothing against Noah Wiley. He's probably listening going,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: that wench.
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: No.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Love him as an actor and love that show. And
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: another season's coming out. Can't wait. Can't wait. Who would
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: you rather see?
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. I'm going to have to think
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: about that. Who would be a great sexiest man alive?
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's kind of old school, but maybe the
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: guy from Bridgerton.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: But that's, I feel like he already got that. If
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: he didn't, he should have.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Here's what's coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. A
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: federal judge in L.A. is expected to decide today on
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: what to do with 20,000 mail-in ballots.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: The judge said he needed more time to rule on
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: what to do with the ballots that the Trump administration
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: suspects were cast by non-citizens.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: U.S.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: District Judge David O'Carter seemed skeptical during Tuesday's hearing and
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: questioned how the administration came up with the list. The
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: judge says officials have until the December 3rd certification deadline
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: to resolve the issue. Eileen Gonzalez, KFI News.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: The so-called king tides that we're experiencing along the Southern
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: California coast often happen during a full moon, and they
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: are still flooding homes and triggering water rescues on both coasts.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: ABC News Chief Meteorologist Ginger Zee says the full moon
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: is the main driver, but there are other reasons.
• 26:05
  Speaker 12: We are seeing other contributing factors.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Marine heat wave because of El Nino. Water temperatures anywhere
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: from 5 to 10 degrees above average along the West Coast.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: It's called thermal expansion.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Coastal flood advisories are in effect for almost the entire
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: coast through Thursday at least. Scientists in California may have
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: found a way to fight the deadly brain-eating amoeba.
• 26:25
  Speaker 10: Researchers at UC San Diego say they've identified a compound
• 26:28
  Speaker 10: that can neutralize the infection, which kills 97% of its victims,
• 26:32
  Speaker 10: often within hours. Globally, cases of brain-eating amoeba have been
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: going up, although only 150 cases have ever been reported
• 26:40
  Speaker 10: in the U.S. Experts say it typically enters through the
• 26:43
  Speaker 10: nose through warm spring water and can migrate to the brain,
• 26:46
  Speaker 10: where it causes irreversible damage and usually death. The researchers
• 26:49
  Speaker 10: are hoping the new compound they've discovered will be effective
• 26:52
  Speaker 10: in fighting the disease.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: Tammy Trujillo, KFI News.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, so Noah Wiley's the sexiest man for 2026. Last
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: year was Jonathan Bailey.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: I remember him, yeah.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, Jonathan Bailey from Wicked.
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: He's awfully cute.
• 27:06
  Speaker 9: British accent.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: John Krasinski was in 2024. Patrick Dempsey. I remember that
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: because it was a big deal because he's a little
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: bit older.
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: McSteamy?
• 27:15
  Speaker 12: McDreamy.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: McDreamy. McSteamy was Eric.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's right.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Eric Dane. Patrick Dempsey was 2023. Chris Evans. Yeah. 2022.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Paul Rudd. Michael B. Jordan. Oh, he's cute. John Legend.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Idris Elba. Blake Shelton. Dwayne The Rock Johnson. David Beckham.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: 2014 was Chris Hemsworth.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Can't fight with that.
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: He is beautiful.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Nobile Handel. All right.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Time to get in your business. And welcome back, Bloomberg's
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Denise Pellegrini. Hi, Denise.
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: Hi.
• 27:51
  Speaker 12: I missed you guys.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Can we talk about Noah Wiley a little bit more, please?
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 27:56
  Speaker 12: Do you love him?
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: So you know how there are all these.
• 28:00
  Speaker 12: I'm really not supposed to divulge my personal opinion.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Well, that has nothing to do with business.
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 28:08
  Speaker 12: He's cute.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 28:10
  Speaker 12: I think maybe the reason that he doesn't grab people,
• 28:14
  Speaker 12: you know, the way you're talking about, yeah, he's cute,
• 28:16
  Speaker 12: but it's maybe because it's all television or primarily television and,
• 28:22
  Speaker 12: you know. There's no major film where you just get
• 28:25
  Speaker 12: to sort of soak him in and be a big
• 28:27
  Speaker 12: fan that people are loving. But fans of The Pit
• 28:31
  Speaker 12: and Real Doctors, I mean, they're rabid and they've been
• 28:36
  Speaker 12: buying up all those fashionable scrubs, right? Don't get me wrong.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I love the show and I think he is fantastic
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: in it. And I'm actually going old school and I'm
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: watching ER right now. I love it. I love it.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I just, I don't know.
• 28:49
  Speaker 12: So are you going to go out and buy some scrubs?
• 28:51
  Speaker 12: Because the scrubs maker, Figs is the name of the company,
• 28:56
  Speaker 12: they say that sales are through the roof with some
• 28:59
  Speaker 12: fans buying the scrubs in every single color that Figs
• 29:02
  Speaker 12: sell them in because they're such huge fans of Noah Wiley.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Either that or they just don't want to get dressed.
• 29:09
  Speaker 12: Yeah, they're comfortable sleeping in them. Or maybe there's some
• 29:14
  Speaker 12: sex costume role play.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about some business stuff, shall we?
• 29:17
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Okay. Well, that was a business story. We just talked
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: about Apple and touchscreens with Rich. So let's skip over
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: that one and go right to Coca-Cola's Topo Chico.
• 29:28
  Speaker 12: It's back on shelves in Texas, Amy, coming to other
• 29:31
  Speaker 12: states as well. It's that Mexican sparkling mineral water, right?
• 29:35
  Speaker 12: Has a huge cult following. uh problem is people were
• 29:39
  Speaker 12: really upset it was unavailable for months due to supply
• 29:42
  Speaker 12: issues flavored versions did remain available but now it'll be
• 29:46
  Speaker 12: back on store shelves in texas today and coming to
• 29:49
  Speaker 12: california soon uh they've been bottling that stuff since 1895
• 29:53
  Speaker 12: in the same place so uh This is a big
• 29:57
  Speaker 12: victory for them, but they took a big hit during
• 29:59
  Speaker 12: their supply problems.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Okay. Speaking of hits, millennials are hitting a major financial milestone,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: one they probably want to skip.
• 30:06
  Speaker 12: Yeah. They've overtaken Gen Z as the biggest holders of
• 30:10
  Speaker 12: consumer debt in the U.S., accounting for close to 37%
• 30:13
  Speaker 12: of the nation's consumer debt, according to Equifax. That's up
• 30:16
  Speaker 12: from 25% six years ago as they take on more
• 30:19
  Speaker 12: mortgage debt and move into those prime home-buying years.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: And speaking of Gen Z, they're getting back in the
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: dating game.
• 30:28
  Speaker 9: They are.
• 30:29
  Speaker 12: I mean, after all these stories about Gen Z not dating,
• 30:33
  Speaker 12: a Bloomberg Intelligence survey finds more young adults are dating
• 30:36
  Speaker 12: and they're willing to pay for the apps. That's good
• 30:38
  Speaker 12: news for dating app Match, right? A significant share of users, though,
• 30:42
  Speaker 12: don't find it challenging to create their own dating app profile.
• 30:46
  Speaker 12: So they want to do it themselves. They're not using
• 30:48
  Speaker 12: the AI features that Match has on Tinder. So that's
• 30:52
  Speaker 12: sort of a bit of a challenge for the company,
• 30:54
  Speaker 12: even as they're flocking back to Tinder and moving away
• 30:58
  Speaker 12: from some of that in real life dating stuff that
• 31:01
  Speaker 12: people were trying after the end of the pandemic.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: IRL. I think it's the way to go. Getting in

• 32:31
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Here's what we're following in the KFI 24-hour newsroom. The
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Southern California coast is at risk of more flooding from
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: king tides. PCH had to be shut down in both
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: directions between Seal Beach and Huntington Beach yesterday because of
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: the flooding. Streets in Newport Beach and other areas were underwater.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: High tide this morning is at 1022. Billionaire Palmer Luckey
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: says he's not going to leave California if the California
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: billionaire's tax passes. Luckey runs defense tech firm Anduril, which
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: was last valued at $ 61 billion. Luckey says he has
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: felt pressure from other billionaires to declare his intention to
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: leave the state if Prop 40 passes. He says he
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: hopes there are legal challenges if the ballot measure does pass.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: The California Science Center and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: announced a partnership that's going to bring JPL spacecraft, interactive
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: exhibits and research to the new Samuel Ocean Air and
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Space Center facility. which officially opens November 13th. It features
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: more than 100 aerospace artifacts, 100 hands-on exhibits focused on science, technology,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: and engineering. A very cool slide. And the centerpiece of
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: the Air and Space Center is the Space Shuttle Endeavor,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: which will be on display in launch position. I'm actually
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: getting to go there. They're doing a media preview today.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: I'll give you a little sneak peek at the exhibit
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: that opens in just a couple of weeks.
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: On it Amy's on it Amy's on it Amy's.
• 34:02
  Speaker 10: On it.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: What am I on? I'm usually on the stream checking
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: out shows, series, documentaries, but sometimes got to go to
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: the movie theaters. And the reason that I had to
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: was because there's so much buzz about this. You can
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: see everything, which is actually a documentary. It's in theaters.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: It's been out for two weeks and it did better
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: the second weekend than its first weekend. So it's about
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Elizabeth Holmes. And remember her from Theranos? She said you
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: can diagnose any kind of disease with just one drop
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: of blood. And it was this big scam. And she
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: defrauded like investors out of, I think, a half a
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: billion dollars or something like that. So it's a documentary
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: about the 34 days before she goes to prison. So
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: she and her husband, Billy, allow Nathan Fielder, who's the director,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: and his team unprecedented access to them. In fact, Fielder
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: moves in at some point. They want to tell their story.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: And to this point. From the time that she was
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: convicted until she's about to go to jail, she hasn't
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: given any interviews or anything, no media availabilities. But then
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason, they decided to let Nathan Fielder in.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: So he goes in. And if you've ever watched his
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: interview style, it's very uncomfortable because he just sort of
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: it's almost like he's a lurker. Like he just like
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: hangs back in the shadow. He calls people out. He doesn't. respond.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's not like jokey and funny, although sometimes
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: he's absolutely hysterical. But it makes, I think, the interviewees
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: a little uncomfortable and the people watching a little uncomfortable.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: So you watch as this unfolds and you try to
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: figure out, was this woman capable of defrauding investors? I mean,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: did she believe in what she was doing? Does she
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: still believe in what she's doing? And this documentary is
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: so engaging and so intriguing and it makes you think
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: and it makes you question. And it's funny at times,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: like laugh out loud funny, and it's very uncomfortable all
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: of the time. And Fielder, as I mentioned, is a
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: master at making you feel uncomfortable. And Elizabeth Holmes, to me,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: appears to be a woman who feels like she didn't
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: do anything wrong. Maybe she really believes that. Who knows?
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Maybe she didn't. Maybe she had great intentions and it
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: was a project that went wrong and she didn't know
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: how to dig her way out of it. Don't know.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: It's up to you to decide. And the way that
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: this movie is done, this documentary is done, it doesn't
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: look like a documentary. It looks like a movie. It's
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: really weird that there's the quality about it. Maybe it's
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: the way that the camera angles are or something. There's
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: something that doesn't make it feel like a documentary, like
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: what you typically would think of as a documentary. It
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: explores the streaming series Dropout, which is based on Elizabeth
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Holmes starring Amanda Seyfried. And whether that series turned public
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: opinion against Liz or was it an accurate depiction of
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: a huge fraudster? And then while I'm watching this documentary,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I keep asking myself, are these people acting? Because they're
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: really good actors. See if you don't think it the same.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: And then it ends and everybody just kind of sits there.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: It's a really weird movie, but it's really good. And
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: it's really engaging. It's three hours long and it doesn't
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: feel like that because you're just like, I want to
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: I want to understand this woman. Like, who is she?
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: What makes her tick? And why is Nathan Fielder interviewing
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: her the way that he is? And how is he
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: responding to her? And it leaves you with a ton
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: of questions. And I think that that's a good thing
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: about a movie. It's not like questioning because it drops
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: off at the end, you know, like some of those
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: movies that don't really have an ending. They just stop.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: It's not like that. It's just it leaves you with
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: questions about her and about him and about what's next,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: then about her husband and all kinds of stuff. Anyway,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: it's called You Can See Everything. I highly recommend that
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: you go see it. I'm on it and I think
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: you should be too. Let's get back to some of
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Homicides
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: in Los Angeles are at historically low numbers. However, they
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: are still a problem within the Black community. The LA
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Times reports more than a third of homicide victims in
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: LA this year were Black, although the community only makes
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: up 8% of the population. Mayor Karen Bass tells KFI's
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Monks in Merrill that most of the cases are gang-related.
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: There needs to be more intensive work done in some
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: of our neighborhoods. And there were some programs that were community-based,
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: as well as working with law enforcement, that have not
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: been as robust as they should be.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Mayor Bass says she's working on expanding community safety partnerships
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: with the LAPD. The defeated presidential candidate in Brazil has
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: fled to Argentina and then Ecuador with his family, according
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: to Argentina's migration authority. Senator Flavio Bolsonaro and his family
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: were granted U.S. visas. Bolsonaro had been under investigation for corruption,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: money laundering and tax evasion in Brazil. and Brazil's Supreme
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Court had ordered him to surrender his passport. Brazil's president
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: has expressed regret over Bolsonaro's departure, calling it shameful. President
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Trump isn't the only one with low approval numbers as
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: Election Day approaches.
• 39:08
  Speaker 11: Less than half of voters think their own representative in
• 39:11
  Speaker 11: Congress deserves to win re-election next Tuesday. And just 15%
• 39:14
  Speaker 11: in a Gallup survey said said most other members of
• 39:18
  Speaker 11: Congress deserve re-election. 29% of Republicans compared to 11% of
• 39:23
  Speaker 11: Democrats and just 9% of independents say most members of
• 39:27
  Speaker 11: Congress deserve two more years in office. Rory O'Neill, KFI News.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: And an escape artist known as Houdini, too, plans to
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: perform a high-rise escape above the Magic Castle in Hollywood.

  Speaker 1: It's It's happening Friday. Houdini, too, will be suspended about
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: nine stories above the ground and will attempt to escape
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: without an airbag or protective landing system below. He also
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: plans to drop $ 1, 000 from the sky as a gesture
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: promoting social unity, peace, and global harmony. Okay, that's Friday.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: It's happening at like 8 o'clock in the morning, so
