- 1:12Speaker 1: today is California Wildlife Day in California. In remembrance of Jackie,
- 1:19Speaker 1: the bald eagle made official by passing the California legislature
- 1:23Speaker 1: a week ago today. Don't forget to wear your purple.
- 1:28Speaker 1: I see Anna's wearing her purple. Good girl. I don't
- 1:31Speaker 1: know who started that, but it started somewhere on social
- 1:34Speaker 1: media that they said, remember Jackie by wearing purple. So
- 1:38Speaker 1: I'm wearing my purple today. And I will tell you
- 1:39Speaker 1: the last time I had this purple on, I was
- 1:41Speaker 1: decidedly smaller. It's a little snug, but I'm representing. Has
- 1:48Speaker 1: the weather just been perfect, you guys? Like I was
- 1:50Speaker 1: sitting out on my little balcony last night. And it
- 1:53Speaker 1: wasn't hot, and I wasn't sweating, and there was this
- 1:56Speaker 1: nice breeze. And I was like, this is why we
- 1:59Speaker 1: love California. And then I thought, oh, no, it's going
- 2:02Speaker 1: to be cold pretty soon. Oh, and one other thing.
- 2:04Speaker 1: So I don't know how you are about, like, driving habits.
- 2:09Speaker 1: But you know how you just kind of go on
- 2:10Speaker 1: autopilot sometimes when you're driving? Well, this last week, on
- 2:14Speaker 1: a road near my home, they've been doing some work,
- 2:20Speaker 1: and so they– You know, when they dig the trenches
- 2:23Speaker 1: and then they put the steel plates on top of
- 2:26Speaker 1: them and they put the asphalt around the steel plates.
- 2:31Speaker 1: And so there's a bump. Well, whoever did the work
- 2:34Speaker 1: made a big frickin bump. And I've been hitting it
- 2:38Speaker 1: every morning because it goes all the way across the
- 2:40Speaker 1: roadway and it just kind of comes up at you
- 2:42Speaker 1: and it's dark. So you don't really see it until like,
- 2:44Speaker 1: you know, until you're right on top of it.
- 2:46Speaker 3: Plus, if you're going 70 miles an hour.
- 2:47Speaker 1: I'm not going 70. I'm going about 40. Okay. But
- 2:51Speaker 1: I've been hitting it every day and I'm like, I'm
- 2:53Speaker 1: going to like pop a tire here because it's a
- 2:56Speaker 1: big bump. Today, I finally remembered, slow down. And so
- 3:00Speaker 1: I didn't. And so I'm not going to wreck my car.
- 3:03Speaker 1: I hope they finish that.
- 3:04Speaker 6: Well, that's good news.
- 3:05Speaker 1: I know it only took me five days. OK, here's
- 3:08Speaker 1: what's ahead on Wake Up Call.
- 3:09Speaker 4: L.A.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Mayor Bass has been called to testify before Congress later
- 3:13Speaker 1: this month. as the administration launches an investigation into what
- 3:18Speaker 1: it calls waste, fraud and abuse of federal funds. It's
- 3:21Speaker 1: linked to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, which has
- 3:25Speaker 1: received more than a billion dollars in federal funding since 2021.
- 3:29Speaker 7: An L.A.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Podcaster and former TV host has pleaded not guilty to
- 3:33Speaker 1: charges of threatening to kill President Trump and stalking his
- 3:36Speaker 1: personal lawyer and the man's family. 40-year-old Benjamin Southworth was
- 3:41Speaker 1: taken into custody at his home in Westlake yesterday. and
- 3:44Speaker 1: had an initial court appearance. He's accused of posting videos
- 3:47Speaker 1: calling for the president's assassination. Part of Hawaii is now
- 3:51Speaker 1: in the so-called prediction cone of the massive Category 4
- 3:56Speaker 1: Hurricane Lowell. The National Hurricane Center is warning people in
- 4:00Speaker 1: Hawaii Lowell could still be a major hurricane as it
- 4:03Speaker 1: makes its approach early next week. Direct landfall is still possible.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Lowell took a sharp turn towards Hawaii yesterday. Iran is
- 4:12Speaker 1: accusing the U.S. of attacking civilian targets while it says
- 4:16Speaker 1: it only fired on U.S. military positions in neighboring countries.
- 4:20Speaker 1: ABC's Jordana Miller will get us the latest from Jerusalem
- 4:24Speaker 1: in just a couple of minutes. Everyone's been talking about
- 4:26Speaker 1: the El Nino that could make for a very wet
- 4:29Speaker 1: winter in Southern California. The host of Home on KFI,
- 4:32Speaker 1: Dean Sharp, is going to join us at 520. He's
- 4:34Speaker 1: going to tell us what you can do to make
- 4:38Speaker 1: sure your house is rain-ready for the winter. And Friends
- 4:43Speaker 1: of Big Bear Valley's Jenny Vossard joins us on this
- 4:46Speaker 1: Jackie the Bald Eagle Day to talk about Jackie's legacy,
- 4:49Speaker 1: other celebrations that are being held for our favorite eagle,
- 4:52Speaker 1: and what's up in the nest now. Maybe a visit
- 4:55Speaker 1: from one of the kids.
- 4:57Speaker 8: Hmm.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
- 5:00Speaker 1: of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. The federal government investigating funding
- 5:04Speaker 1: for homeless services in L.A.
- 5:05Speaker 9: The Trump administration has announced an investigation into what it
- 5:08Speaker 9: calls waste, fraud, and abuse of federal funds, allegedly linked
- 5:12Speaker 9: to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. and called on L.A.
- 5:16Speaker 9: Mayor Bass to testify before Congress later this month. The
- 5:19Speaker 9: chairman of the House Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency
- 5:22Speaker 9: summoned Bass to testify at a hearing on September 15th.
- 5:26Speaker 9: In a letter, he asked that she bring documents and
- 5:28Speaker 9: communications related to corrupt contracting and grantmaking by LASA, among
- 5:33Speaker 9: other things. Debra Mark, KFI News.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Investigators in Carson still trying to identify two bodies found
- 5:40Speaker 1: in and near the Dominguez Channel. One was a young girl.
- 5:44Speaker 1: The other was a man in his 50s.
- 5:45Speaker 4: L.A.
- 5:45Speaker 1: County Sheriff's Lieutenant Daniel Vizcarra says they don't think the
- 5:49Speaker 1: two deaths are connected. The bodies were found a day apart.
- 5:53Speaker 1: Officials in Orange County say the three people killed when
- 5:56Speaker 1: an SUV went off the side of the 5 Freeway
- 5:58Speaker 1: in Anaheim were teenagers. The crash happened just after 3 a.m. yesterday.
- 6:03Speaker 1: The car hit a guardrail and a concrete pillar before
- 6:06Speaker 1: it careened down a sloped concrete embankment and flipped. Two
- 6:10Speaker 1: boys in the car were pronounced dead at the scene.
- 6:12Speaker 1: Two others were taken to the hospital where one of
- 6:14Speaker 1: them later died. Investigators say none of the teens were
- 6:17Speaker 1: wearing seatbelts. Southern California should soon see the effects of
- 6:23Speaker 1: Hurricane Marie. Which is off the coast of Baja, California.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Even though the storm isn't headed our way, Marie is
- 6:29Speaker 1: expected to track northwest.
- 6:31Speaker 2: So we will not be feeling the effects of a
- 6:34Speaker 2: true hurricane or even tropical storm or tropical depression anywhere
- 6:38Speaker 2: along the Southern California coast.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Meteorologist Rick Dickert tells KFI. that we will probably see
- 6:45Speaker 1: some clouds, maybe light rain and dangerous surf conditions over
- 6:48Speaker 1: the weekend. The National Weather Service says the potential for
- 6:51Speaker 1: significant winds or flooding in Southern California is significantly reduced
- 6:56Speaker 1: because of Marie's direction. It's 5.08 on your wake-up call.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Time to say good morning to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana,
- 7:04Speaker 1: the U.S. has targeted several sites in Iran this week.
- 7:08Speaker 1: They say they're done with this mission for now, but
- 7:11Speaker 1: Iran is accusing the U.S. of targeting civilians. What are
- 7:14Speaker 1: they claiming?
- 7:17Speaker 8: Iran is accusing the U.S. of targeting civilians because at
- 7:21Speaker 8: some point during the back and forth between the U.S.
- 7:25Speaker 8: and Iran earlier this week, there was an explosion near
- 7:30Speaker 8: a large wedding in the city of Sirik, which is
- 7:35Speaker 8: One of the cities of the U.S. has bombed repeatedly
- 7:41Speaker 8: in the last several months, and Iran is accusing the U.S.
- 7:44Speaker 8: of targeting civilians. Of course, the U.S. has said that–
- 7:49Speaker 8: the U.S. military has said it is not targeting any
- 7:54Speaker 8: Iranian civilians, and its war is against the regime. You know,
- 8:00Speaker 8: and I think there's still reporting coming out about that
- 8:03Speaker 8: strike and some analysis that it looks like it was
- 8:07Speaker 8: hit by U.S. munitions. But if so, certainly not on purpose.
- 8:14Speaker 8: So the United States, you know, like a lot of
- 8:17Speaker 8: the allegations, of hitting the civilians that the Iranians have
- 8:23Speaker 8: made over the course of the last several months, the U.S.
- 8:27Speaker 8: continues to deny that.
- 8:30Speaker 1: And Jordana, do we know what else is in the
- 8:33Speaker 1: area that the wedding might have been an unintended target,
- 8:36Speaker 1: like some military assets nearby, or do we know?
- 8:41Speaker 8: Yeah, reportedly there were military assets nearby that the U.S.,
- 8:48Speaker 8: may have been trying to target, and it could be
- 8:51Speaker 8: that by accident, you know, the munitions came down closer
- 8:57Speaker 8: to this wedding. I mean, you know, we've said it
- 9:00Speaker 8: so many times, Amy, but war is not an exact science, unfortunately.
- 9:05Speaker 8: And civilians are often killed and they're often collateral damage.
- 9:10Speaker 8: We saw it in Gaza. We see it. You know,
- 9:13Speaker 8: even between the intermittent fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in
- 9:18Speaker 8: southern Lebanon. And of course, we've seen it in Iran
- 9:22Speaker 8: as well.
- 9:24Speaker 1: And then also earlier this week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's son,
- 9:31Speaker 1: who is or has been in the United States, apparently
- 9:35Speaker 1: was rushed out of the country. What happened?
- 9:38Speaker 8: That's right. The Mossad and the Shin Bet, Israel's spy
- 9:42Speaker 8: agency and internal security agencies, evacuated Netanyahu's youngest son, Yair,
- 9:50Speaker 8: from Florida, where he'd been living for the last several years,
- 9:55Speaker 8: including since October 7th. And they brought him in. a
- 10:00Speaker 8: secret evacuation back to Israel. And that because of what
- 10:06Speaker 8: Israel claims was an Iranian threat against his life. I
- 10:11Speaker 8: don't think we should be surprised by Iran plotting to
- 10:15Speaker 8: kill the Israeli prime minister's son. You know, the Iranians
- 10:21Speaker 8: have been vowing to avenge the Israeli killings, not only
- 10:26Speaker 8: during this war, during Operation Epic Fury, when Israel really
- 10:30Speaker 8: was the architect of those, you know, widespread killings and
- 10:35Speaker 8: assassinations in the first 48 hours of the war, Operation
- 10:38Speaker 8: Epic Fury in February, but even the role that Israel
- 10:42Speaker 8: played in the killing of Iranians. of one of one
- 10:47Speaker 8: of the world's top generals during President Trump's first term
- 10:52Speaker 8: in office.
- 10:53Speaker 1: Right.
- 10:53Speaker 8: When when the head of the Al-Quds Force, Soleimani, was
- 10:58Speaker 8: killed by the United States and claimed by the United States.
- 11:01Speaker 8: But Israel also had a role in that and that killing.
- 11:05Speaker 8: And so, you know, out of precaution and safety, they
- 11:08Speaker 8: moved him out and back to Israel.
- 11:11Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 11:11Speaker 1: And not probably not super surprising, too, because they They
- 11:15Speaker 1: are also threatening to kill President Trump's son. That's right.
- 11:20Speaker 8: Right there, right.
- 11:21Speaker 2: All right.
- 11:21Speaker 1: ABC's Jordana Miller, good to have you back. We will
- 11:24Speaker 1: talk to you again soon. Thanks for everything.
- 11:27Speaker 8: Yes, talk soon.
- 11:27Speaker 2: All right.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
- 11:29Speaker 1: of the KFI 24-Hour Newsroom. The trial of Lindsey Clancy
- 11:32Speaker 1: in Massachusetts appears to hinge on one juror.
- 11:36Speaker 5: There was a note from the jury foreperson indicating one
- 11:40Speaker 5: of the 12 could not follow the judge's instructions.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Those instructions have to do with reasonable doubt. ABC's Aaron
- 11:48Speaker 1: Katursky says Clancy's lawyer asked the judge yesterday to remove
- 11:52Speaker 1: the juror, but the judge refused.
- 11:54Speaker 5: He said he didn't want to take a side between
- 11:57Speaker 5: the 11 who may be voting one way and the
- 12:00Speaker 5: one voting another.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Katursky says the judge plans to speak with the holdout
- 12:05Speaker 1: juror before deliberations begin today. This would be day seven.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Rescuers in Nepal have pulled two workers alive from a
- 12:14Speaker 1: tunnel at a hydropower plant. It comes nine days after
- 12:17Speaker 1: the region was hit by catastrophic flash flooding. Dozens more
- 12:21Speaker 1: workers are believed to still be trapped in tunnels at
- 12:24Speaker 1: the plant. An army spokesperson says one of those rescued
- 12:27Speaker 1: said more people are alive inside. More than 1,300 deaths
- 12:32Speaker 1: have been confirmed from the flooding. The Trump administration is
- 12:36Speaker 1: asking the Supreme Court to let it move ahead with
- 12:38Speaker 1: restrictions on mail ballots before the midterm elections in November.
- 12:43Speaker 1: A federal judge in Boston was the latest to block
- 12:45Speaker 1: President Trump's executive order. ABC's Whit Johnson says the administration
- 12:49Speaker 1: wants new postal service rules for mail-in ballots to take
- 12:53Speaker 1: effect immediately.
- 12:54Speaker 7: The administration wants to require states to provide additional information
- 12:58Speaker 7: when mailing ballots through the postal service. Critics say the
- 13:01Speaker 7: rules infringe on the state's authority to run elections.
- 13:05Speaker 1: The fight is making its way through the lower courts,
- 13:07Speaker 1: even as states are preparing to send out mail ballots.
- 13:11Speaker 1: A candidate running for a seat in the Missouri State
- 13:13Speaker 1: House has been charged with planting drugs in his primary
- 13:17Speaker 1: opponent's car. That's according to court records. ABC's Chuck Sievertson
- 13:21Speaker 1: says Thomas Ross allegedly had his then campaign manager hide
- 13:25Speaker 1: cocaine in his opponent's car.
- 13:27Speaker 10: Former campaign manager provided the FBI with an audio recording
- 13:31Speaker 10: of Ross where they allegedly discussed the plot with Ross
- 13:34Speaker 10: quoted saying, if you can pull it off, pull it off.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Ross won the Republican primary and is currently running for
- 13:40Speaker 1: state Senate. Studies on marijuana are use are kind of
- 13:44Speaker 1: like studies on coffee.
- 13:46Speaker 11: They seem to come out all the time and they
- 13:47Speaker 11: constantly contradict each other. ER doctor and pot expert Dr.
- 13:51Speaker 11: Sherry Afai says the Trump administration reclassifying pot to allow
- 13:54Speaker 11: more research is nice, but.
- 13:56Speaker 4: She's been researching it.
- 13:57Speaker 12: We don't do that many studies on Viagra.
- 13:59Speaker 6: She says the research dollars should be going to other areas.
- 14:01Speaker 4: Physician offices... And medical insurance for patients.
- 14:05Speaker 8: Who are using this for medical purposes and to educate
- 14:09Speaker 8: our youth.
- 14:09Speaker 4: When is it good?
- 14:10Speaker 1: When is it bad?
- 14:11Speaker 4: So that we're not all doing this clickbait. It's good today.
- 14:13Speaker 4: It's bad tomorrow.
- 14:14Speaker 11: She says pot like coffee or most things should be
- 14:16Speaker 11: about moderation and common sense. Michael Crozier, KFI News.

- 14:49Speaker 1: the Trump administration, it claims the government's use of federal
- 14:53Speaker 1: databases to target naturalized citizens who are eligible to register
- 14:57Speaker 1: to vote is interferes with free and fair elections. The
- 15:00Speaker 1: plaintiffs also include Governor's candidate Javier Becerra and the L.A.-based
- 15:05Speaker 1: Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights. A multi-agency crackdown to remove
- 15:11Speaker 1: homeless camps from Fairmount Park near downtown Riverside has resulted
- 15:15Speaker 1: in more than a dozen arrests. Riverside police officers, city,
- 15:19Speaker 1: Department of Code Enforcement, parks and neighborhood specialists, and Riverside
- 15:24Speaker 1: County Department of Animal Services personnel all joined in for
- 15:27Speaker 1: the special enforcement operation. The swan boats at Echo Park
- 15:31Speaker 1: Lake will be illuminated in Dodger Blue for home game
- 15:35Speaker 1: days for the rest of September. The blue LED lighting
- 15:38Speaker 1: will be used after sunset during their homestands against the
- 15:41Speaker 1: Cincinnati Reds, San Francisco Giants, and San Diego Padres. Let's
- 15:47Speaker 1: say good morning now to the host of Home on
- 15:49Speaker 1: KFI Saturdays and Sundays. It's the house whisperer, Dean Sharp. Morning, Dean.
- 15:57Speaker 5: Morning, Dean.
- 15:59Speaker 10: Can you guys hear me?
- 16:00Speaker 1: Yes, we hear you now.
- 16:01Speaker 6: All right.
- 16:02Speaker 3: Here I am.
- 16:03Speaker 1: OK, so, Dean, we've been talking about the Super El Nino.
- 16:07Speaker 1: And since it's going to probably rain a lot this winter,
- 16:11Speaker 1: now might be a time to build the arc.
- 16:14Speaker 10: Yeah, now it'd be a good time. I don't know
- 16:17Speaker 10: if we need an arc, but I'll tell you what.
- 16:21Speaker 10: The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, not the press, you know,
- 16:27Speaker 10: not people looking to hype things for a headline, but
- 16:31Speaker 10: the administration who's actually in charge of tracking weather for us,
- 16:37Speaker 10: They think this could be the biggest El Nino that
- 16:41Speaker 10: they have ever measured. And so that is not a
- 16:45Speaker 10: guarantee that it's going to be a heavy winter rain.
- 16:48Speaker 10: You know, another big one was predicted back. Well, we
- 16:51Speaker 10: actually had a large El Nino. Back in 2015 that
- 16:56Speaker 10: developed and, you know, we had moderate rainfall here in
- 17:00Speaker 10: Southern California. But when they start saying, listen, 69 percent
- 17:04Speaker 10: odds that that this is going to beat every El
- 17:07Speaker 10: Nino on record going back to 1950, then that means
- 17:12Speaker 10: that a lot of rain may be coming. And so
- 17:15Speaker 10: it's September. I know everybody wants to start shifting their
- 17:18Speaker 10: thinking soon into the holidays. And so now right now
- 17:22Speaker 10: is the time. To actually get those water concerns out
- 17:27Speaker 10: of the way so that you roll into the holidays
- 17:29Speaker 10: knowing that you're ready for the rain.
- 17:31Speaker 1: OK, so what are a couple of common sense things
- 17:34Speaker 1: that you can do to prepare that you should probably
- 17:37Speaker 1: be doing anyway? But maybe this will give you a
- 17:39Speaker 1: little sense of urgency.
- 17:41Speaker 10: Well, probably anything. You know, when we're talking about excessive
- 17:45Speaker 10: amounts of water on your property, the real issue is
- 17:48Speaker 10: where is it going to go? That's the big question.
- 17:50Speaker 10: Where is it going to go? Now, of course, if
- 17:52Speaker 10: you suspect you've got a roof leak, then it's time
- 17:55Speaker 10: to call a roofer now while prices are normal and
- 18:00Speaker 10: have them do an inspection and patch up anything that
- 18:03Speaker 10: needs to be patched up so that you don't have
- 18:05Speaker 10: to worry about that. But the biggest concern, honestly, as
- 18:08Speaker 10: far as property damage is water accumulating around the house.
- 18:12Speaker 10: One of the things you could do is spend 40
- 18:13Speaker 10: bucks and get an extension to your downspout that's coming
- 18:17Speaker 10: down off of your gutter so that the water coming
- 18:20Speaker 10: out of that downspout gets further away from the foundation
- 18:24Speaker 10: of the house, further away from just get it, get
- 18:27Speaker 10: it away and get it draining. But to evaluate the
- 18:31Speaker 10: drains in general on your property, this is the best
- 18:34Speaker 10: move you could make right now.
- 18:35Speaker 1: OK, so I have an aesthetic question for you about
- 18:38Speaker 1: the downspouts, because I've noticed that there are some and they,
- 18:41Speaker 1: you know, they've got like a three or four foot extension,
- 18:44Speaker 1: as you said, to get it away from the base
- 18:45Speaker 1: of the house. But they're kind of ugly. Is there
- 18:47Speaker 1: anything you can do to make them look better?
- 18:48Speaker 10: The three or four foot extension? Probably not. But here's
- 18:52Speaker 10: the thing. You don't have to keep it on there
- 18:54Speaker 10: all the time. This is one of those things that
- 18:56Speaker 10: you roll out for the rain. OK, and so it
- 19:01Speaker 10: doesn't have to be soldered in permanently. It can simply
- 19:05Speaker 10: be put in by pressure. You could affix it with
- 19:09Speaker 10: a small screw. If you've got it and you've got
- 19:12Speaker 10: it ready to go, then when the rain starts to
- 19:14Speaker 10: get heavy, then you can simply slide it into its
- 19:18Speaker 10: joint there, put a small screw to hold it in
- 19:21Speaker 10: place and know that during the heavy rains, the water
- 19:25Speaker 10: is being diverted away from that.
- 19:26Speaker 1: That is a great suggestion. I never thought about that.
- 19:28Speaker 1: Very practical.
- 19:29Speaker 3: Love it.
- 19:29Speaker 1: OK, so a huge concern, of course, in Southern California
- 19:32Speaker 1: is people who live Near burn scars and, you know,
- 19:36Speaker 1: those mud flows that just a hillside collapses and down
- 19:40Speaker 1: comes the mud and floods out your house. Is there
- 19:43Speaker 1: anything you can do? I mean, like you can't just
- 19:45Speaker 1: put sandbags up around your house for six months or
- 19:49Speaker 1: can you?
- 19:50Speaker 6: No, you really can't. You really can't.
- 19:52Speaker 10: If you live directly below a burn scar, you have
- 19:55Speaker 10: got to treat this winter as a situation in which
- 19:58Speaker 10: you just need to be ready to go. That's really
- 20:02Speaker 10: what it comes down to, because the and the reason
- 20:06Speaker 10: the burn scar is a problem is that as wildlife,
- 20:11Speaker 10: as vegetation burns. the waxy resins in the vegetation gets
- 20:16Speaker 10: embedded in the soil and it kind of what we
- 20:18Speaker 10: call waxes the soil. It makes the soil down a
- 20:22Speaker 10: few centimeters down below the surface. It makes the soil
- 20:25Speaker 10: have this waxy resinous coating, makes it hydrophobic and makes
- 20:29Speaker 10: it waterproof. And so the water that falls on a
- 20:32Speaker 10: burn scar, it's not just about lack of vegetation to
- 20:35Speaker 10: hold it in place because of roots. That's a problem.
- 20:38Speaker 10: But in addition to that, it has this waxy subsurface that,
- 20:42Speaker 10: So the water doesn't soak in, it runs. And as
- 20:45Speaker 10: it runs, it picks up more surface soil. So the
- 20:49Speaker 10: bottom line is, if you live beneath a hillside that
- 20:52Speaker 10: was a burn scar, there's no vegetation that has regrown
- 20:56Speaker 10: since the last burn. You just need to be keenly
- 20:59Speaker 10: aware that you may be in a situation where you've
- 21:02Speaker 10: got to get out.
- 21:03Speaker 1: I did not know that about that waxy underbelly of
- 21:06Speaker 1: the dirt. And I've learned two things today, downspouts and
- 21:10Speaker 1: wax under the... Topsoil.
- 21:13Speaker 6: There you go. You know what?
- 21:14Speaker 1: For more great information and so you too can learn
- 21:17Speaker 1: things about your home and how to keep it safe
- 21:20Speaker 1: during this super El Nino that apparently may be headed
- 21:25Speaker 1: our way, you can listen to Dean Sharp 6 to
- 21:27Speaker 1: 8 on Saturday, 9 to noon on Sunday. The show
- 21:31Speaker 1: is called Home. You can also follow Dean at his
- 21:34Speaker 1: new handle at House Whisperer Design and his new website, housewhispererdesign.com.
- 21:43Speaker 1: Thank you, Dean.
- 21:44Speaker 10: Thank you, Amy.
- 21:44Speaker 4: All right.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Talk to you next week. A 20-year-old warning has raised
- 21:48Speaker 1: more questions about the cause of a cluster of rare
- 21:52Speaker 1: cancer in Ladera Ranch.
- 21:54Speaker 6: The California Post reports notes on a Department of Conservation
- 21:57Speaker 6: permit warn not to build over a historic oil well.
- 22:00Speaker 2: Dr.
- 22:00Speaker 6: Karen Lincoln, director of UC Irvine's Center for Environmental Health
- 22:03Speaker 6: Disparities Research, tells KFI's Monks and Merrill.
- 22:06Speaker 4: It's a bit ominous. There were some concerns that were raised,
- 22:09Speaker 4: but they weren't specific.
- 22:10Speaker 6: The building permits and reports could hold clues.
- 22:13Speaker 4: Who issued those permits?
- 22:14Speaker 2: What were the reports?
- 22:15Speaker 4: And so I would be very interested in seeing what
- 22:17Speaker 4: those documents say and why, if there was concern, that
- 22:22Speaker 4: houses were allowed to be built on or around that well.
- 22:25Speaker 6: Mark Rauner, KFI News.
- 22:26Speaker 1: A car driven by a 91-year-old woman is slammed into
- 22:29Speaker 1: a security stand at a Trader Joe's in L.A. 's
- 22:32Speaker 1: Fairfax district. One person was killed yesterday. Four others were hurt.
- 22:36Speaker 2: The L.A.
- 22:37Speaker 1: City Fire Department says the person killed was a woman,
- 22:39Speaker 1: possibly in her 30s. The elderly driver was one of
- 22:42Speaker 1: four people taken to the hospital. A divided Huntington Beach
- 22:46Speaker 1: City Council is giving police officers big raise.
- 22:49Speaker 13: The Huntington Beach City Council voted 4-3 to approve a
- 22:52Speaker 13: new contract providing a 17% pay increase over three years
- 22:56Speaker 13: that will cost the city nearly $ 10 million. The vote
- 22:59Speaker 13: comes as Huntington Beach faces a roughly $ 16 million structural deficit.
- 23:03Speaker 13: Opponents call the deal fiscally reckless. Supporters say higher salaries
- 23:07Speaker 13: are needed to recruit and retain experienced officers. Heather Brooker,
- 23:11Speaker 13: KFI News. When we come back. Before you get dressed
- 23:15Speaker 13: for the day, you need to hear this. This will
- 23:18Speaker 13: be a slam dunk for Lakers fans. We're not talking basketball, though.
- 23:22Speaker 2: Okay.
- 23:23Speaker 1: For the 33rd year, the L.A. County Fire Department is
- 23:25Speaker 1: leasing Super Scooper planes from Canada to fight wildfires. Fire
- 23:30Speaker 1: Chief Anthony Maroney was on hand at the department's air
- 23:33Speaker 1: tanker base at Van Nuys Airport to showcase the aerial fleet,
- 23:36Speaker 1: which also includes a Boeing Chinook CH-47 Helitanker 55. It's
- 23:40Speaker 1: a long name. It's being contracted through a partnership with
- 23:45Speaker 1: Southern California Edison. At 6.05, it's handle on the news.
- 23:51Speaker 1: It looks like there may be just one juror who's
- 23:55Speaker 1: holding up a decision in the Clancy murder case. The
- 23:59Speaker 1: mom who killed her three kids. Bill's going to give
- 24:02Speaker 1: you the latest on that. The Over the Edge team
- 24:06Speaker 1: page is live, as you may have heard. We are
- 24:09Speaker 1: going over the edge, Neil Saavedra and I, to fight homelessness.
- 24:14Speaker 1: We're doing it for the Union Rescue Mission. It's a fundraiser.
- 24:19Speaker 1: You can go back and listen to my interview with
- 24:21Speaker 1: Mark Hood on the iHeartRadio app from yesterday's show. He
- 24:25Speaker 1: talks about, you know, why they really need the help
- 24:28Speaker 1: and what they do that actually helps people get off
- 24:30Speaker 1: the streets. It's an organization that both Neil and I
- 24:33Speaker 1: have gotten behind because they're not just throwing money at
- 24:35Speaker 1: a problem. They're actually helping people and they're helping the
- 24:38Speaker 1: people who want help. the help. And some of their
- 24:41Speaker 1: success stories are just phenomenal. So we're going over the
- 24:43Speaker 1: edge on September 25th and 26th. And if you could
- 24:49Speaker 1: spare 10 bucks, a hundred bucks, we would love it.
- 24:52Speaker 1: We would absolutely love it and appreciate it because they're
- 24:55Speaker 1: actually doing good work and they need your help to
- 24:58Speaker 1: keep doing it. They get no federal funding because they're
- 25:01Speaker 1: a dry shelter. They don't allow drugs and alcohol in.
- 25:05Speaker 1: And so they don't get federal funding. Seems sort of counterintuitive,
- 25:10Speaker 1: but that's the way it is. Uh, it's URM.org. And
- 25:13Speaker 1: when you go to the homepage, there's a team KFI button.
- 25:17Speaker 1: So you can click right through and make a donation.
- 25:20Speaker 1: Hope you'll do that. And if you want to donate
- 25:21Speaker 1: a thousand dollars, you can go over the edge with us.
- 25:25Speaker 1: It's scary, but it's fun. And it's a bucket list
- 25:29Speaker 1: thing for a lot of people. So maybe bill handle, maybe,
- 25:32Speaker 1: maybe we're trying to get handled to do it. We'll see. Uh,
- 25:36Speaker 1: Also today, don't forget to wear purple in honor of Jackie.
- 25:41Speaker 1: It is California Wildlife Day in remembrance of our beloved
- 25:44Speaker 1: bald eagle, Jackie, who passed away in.
- 25:48Speaker 6: August.
- 25:50Speaker 1: And someone on social media said, oh, let's wear purple
- 25:56Speaker 1: in honor of Jackie today.
- 25:58Speaker 13: And why?
- 25:59Speaker 1: Because it's a symbol, the color is a symbol of dignity, strength, devotion,
- 26:04Speaker 1: and love. That was Jackie. And so we're remembering Jackie today.
- 26:08Speaker 1: So if you haven't gotten dressed, go dig around. If
- 26:10Speaker 1: you've got Lakers gear, that works. Anne has her purple on.
- 26:14Speaker 1: I have my purple on.
- 26:15Speaker 3: Oops.
- 26:16Speaker 1: An anchor on one of the TV stations has purple on.
- 26:19Speaker 1: It's catching on. So don't forget to wear your purple today.
- 26:24Speaker 1: Here are some stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
- 26:27Speaker 1: A 60-year-old man from San Diego County accused of threatening
- 26:31Speaker 1: members of a mosque in Temecula As pleaded not guilty
- 26:34Speaker 1: to felony misdemeanor charges, Lewis White Jr. allegedly wrote that
- 26:38Speaker 1: he would like to, in his words, kill every one
- 26:41Speaker 1: of you and was in possession of high capacity and
- 26:43Speaker 1: illegally modified guns. He was arrested Saturday following an investigation
- 26:47Speaker 1: by Riverside County Sheriff's Department. Vector control officials in Riverside
- 26:51Speaker 1: County say they're going to be doing anti-mosquito spraying tomorrow
- 26:56Speaker 1: around neighborhoods fronting the Santa Ana River Trail in Eastvale.
- 26:59Speaker 1: to eradicate growing infestations that pose a potential risk to
- 27:03Speaker 1: public health. They say spraying will also be done in
- 27:06Speaker 1: the Santa Ana River wash. It'll happen between 3 and
- 27:10Speaker 1: 6 a.m. One human West Nile virus infection has been
- 27:13Speaker 1: documented in Riverside County so far this year. A surfer
- 27:16Speaker 1: from San Clemente has gone from a losing streak to
- 27:19Speaker 1: a huge win.
- 27:20Speaker 13: Surfer Cole Housman has won the Fiji Pro, defeating the
- 27:23Speaker 13: three-time world champion Gabriel Medina in the final at Cloudbreak.
- 27:27Speaker 13: Housman had been knocked out in the first round of
- 27:30Speaker 13: six World Tour events this season and was in danger
- 27:32Speaker 13: of not qualifying next year. He says the win proves
- 27:35Speaker 13: that hard work and perseverance can pay off. Housman now
- 27:38Speaker 13: heads home for the Trestles Pro at Lower Trestles in
- 27:41Speaker 13: San Clemente, the wave he grew up surfing. Heather Rooker,
- 27:44Speaker 13: KFI News.
- 27:45Speaker 1: Time to get in your business as we do each
- 27:47Speaker 1: weekday morning at this time with Bloomberg's John Tucker. Good morning, John.
- 27:50Speaker 3: Hey, good morning, Amy. Just coming across, this is a
- 27:54Speaker 3: big blowout number on the jobs front.
- 27:57Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 27:58Speaker 3: The August jobs report just coming across. We added 162,000
- 28:03Speaker 3: jobs to the economy. An economist surveyed by Bloomberg, we're
- 28:06Speaker 3: only looking for 55. So this is a hot report.
- 28:10Speaker 3: So good news for stocks?
- 28:11Speaker 5: No.
- 28:12Speaker 4: No.
- 28:13Speaker 1: Why not? I don't understand that. It seems like that's
- 28:15Speaker 1: a good sign that the economy is doing well.
- 28:17Speaker 2: Yes.
- 28:18Speaker 1: Or doing better.
- 28:18Speaker 3: Good news is bad news on Wall Street. So you
- 28:21Speaker 3: have a robust jobs market, right? That could increase the
- 28:25Speaker 3: rate of inflation. So this is now going to pressure
- 28:28Speaker 3: the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates at the next meeting.
- 28:32Speaker 3: And stock investors hate higher interest rates more than just
- 28:37Speaker 3: about anything else. So that's my lame explanation.
- 28:41Speaker 1: No, that works.
- 28:42Speaker 3: We're seeing it in Treasury yields, government debt soaring right now.
- 28:46Speaker 3: The yields on, let's do the 10-year yield. That's the Treasury.
- 28:50Speaker 3: It's up to almost 4.8%. What does that mean? It means,
- 28:55Speaker 3: among other things, credit cards, mortgages, they all go up.
- 28:59Speaker 3: S & P futures down 11. The Dow futures right
- 29:03Speaker 3: now down 123 points. Lululemon Athletica, among the most active
- 29:09Speaker 3: in the pre-market session. These shares are plunging. The brand momentum,
- 29:12Speaker 3: I guess for the brand momentum for yoga wear is
- 29:15Speaker 3: fading fast. They're cutting their full year outlook for a
- 29:18Speaker 3: second straight quarter. And for this company, you know, it's
- 29:21Speaker 3: been one misstep after another. So they had a promotional
- 29:25Speaker 3: event in China trying to expand there. And the company
- 29:28Speaker 3: managed to insult the Chinese during this promotional event.
- 29:31Speaker 1: Whoops.
- 29:33Speaker 3: Of course, you know, some of the leggings they sold
- 29:35Speaker 3: wound up revealing too much, to put it mildly.
- 29:39Speaker 11: Okay.
- 29:39Speaker 1: Okay. And then one last thing. Top automakers, speaking of China,
- 29:43Speaker 1: are asking Congress to slam the door shut on Chinese cars.
- 29:48Speaker 3: This is the trade group, the Alliance for Automative Innovation.
- 29:52Speaker 3: They want lawmakers to ban Chinese-made vehicles along with their
- 29:56Speaker 3: connected software and hardware. The industry says China's heavily subsidized
- 30:01Speaker 3: automakers are flooding markets around the world with cheap, tech-packed
- 30:05Speaker 3: electric vehicles. Just what consumers want. The lobbying group, though,
- 30:10Speaker 3: represents domestic car makers, including General Motors, as well as
- 30:14Speaker 3: overseas giants like Toyota. So, you know, stifled with competition,
- 30:19Speaker 3: I guess, is the watchword there.
- 30:21Speaker 2: All right.
- 30:21Speaker 1: John Tucker, getting in your business with Bloomberg every weekday morning.
- 30:24Speaker 1: Have a great long weekend.
- 30:27Speaker 6: You too.
- 30:27Speaker 3: Thanks very much. Going to be at the beach.
- 30:29Speaker 1: Nice.
- 30:30Speaker 4: Nice.
- 30:31Speaker 1: Enjoy yourself.
- 30:32Speaker 3: We'll see, Amy. Thank you.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Hurricane Marie churning in the Pacific Ocean is now a
- 30:37Speaker 1: Category 2 storm. It's expected to take a turn to
- 30:40Speaker 1: the left and won't make landfall in California. But forecasters
- 30:44Speaker 1: are warning some impacts still possible this weekend, especially along
- 30:47Speaker 1: the coast. Those include high surf, strong rip currents and
- 30:51Speaker 1: coastal flooding. There could also be some scattered showers, gusty
- 30:54Speaker 1: winds and thunderstorms. The jury in the Lindsay Clancy triple
- 30:58Speaker 1: murder case of her three young kids will be back
- 31:01Speaker 1: to deliberate for a seventh day. The judge clarified yesterday
- 31:05Speaker 1: to the jury the definition of reasonable doubt. Afterward, Clancy's
- 31:10Speaker 1: lawyer claims the issue surrounds a single juror and pushed
- 31:13Speaker 1: the judge to have that juror dismissed, but the judge refused.
- 31:17Speaker 1: Today's expected to be the busiest time to be on
- 31:19Speaker 1: the road as we head into the Labor Day holiday weekend.
- 31:22Speaker 1: Airports are also going to be really busy with the
- 31:24Speaker 1: TSA expecting to screen more than 17 million people for
- 31:27Speaker 1: the last official weekend of summer. AAA says the most
- 31:31Speaker 1: popular destinations this year include Seattle, Orlando, Florida, Boston, Denver,
- 31:37Speaker 1: and New York City. I think Anaheim was number eight
- 31:40Speaker 1: on the list. Let's say good morning now to Friends
- 31:43Speaker 1: of Big Bear Valley's Jenny Voisard. Good morning, Jenny.
- 31:46Speaker 4: Good morning.
- 31:48Speaker 1: Wanted to have you on today because It's officially California
- 31:52Speaker 1: Wildlife Day in remembrance of our beloved Jackie the bald eagle. Jenny,
- 31:57Speaker 1: have you been surprised by how many people have reacted
- 32:00Speaker 1: to Jackie's passing?
- 32:03Speaker 4: Well, it's been very emotional and inspirational to hear from
- 32:11Speaker 4: so many people. And it's really lifted us up during
- 32:15Speaker 4: this time. She was beloved by people of all ages
- 32:20Speaker 4: around the world.
- 32:21Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Why do you think she was so impactful to me
- 32:26Speaker 1: and to you and to millions of others?
- 32:30Speaker 4: Well, because we were able to see a window into
- 32:35Speaker 4: her daily life and we were able to see all
- 32:38Speaker 4: of the things or at least some of the things
- 32:40Speaker 4: that she went through and every day to survive, to
- 32:45Speaker 4: raise her chicks, to take care of her nest, to
- 32:48Speaker 4: be a great partner. And I think people really relate
- 32:52Speaker 4: to that, the trials and the tribulations, the ups and downs,
- 32:55Speaker 4: the joys, all of it together.
- 32:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too. And somebody on, I'm not
- 33:03Speaker 1: sure who started this, but said, wear purple. And so
- 33:06Speaker 1: I'm wearing my purple today. Anne's wearing her purple. We've
- 33:08Speaker 1: got a lot of people wearing purple. And I was
- 33:10Speaker 1: looking on social media at the comments to that wear
- 33:13Speaker 1: purple for Jackie wherever you are. I was amazed at
- 33:18Speaker 1: how broad a reach this has. From Chicago, I'm going
- 33:22Speaker 1: to be wearing purple in remembrance of Jackie. Wearing purple
- 33:24Speaker 1: for Jackie from New York. Honoring Jackie wearing purple in
- 33:28Speaker 1: Colorado Springs. I mean, it's just like it's across the country.
- 33:33Speaker 4: Yes, it's wonderful. And people are wearing purple and people
- 33:37Speaker 4: are getting.
- 33:37Speaker 8: Tattoos of Jackie.
- 33:41Speaker 4: I'm seeing a lot of those images. And so it
- 33:44Speaker 4: just we're all we're all together and in our grief
- 33:47Speaker 4: and and sharing our memories of her and just grateful
- 33:50Speaker 4: that we were able to have her as part of
- 33:53Speaker 4: our lives and learn from her. And so I think
- 33:57Speaker 4: it's wonderful. Yep.
- 33:58Speaker 1: Here's another one. Miss you every day, Jackie, from Manitoba, Canada.
- 34:02Speaker 1: So it's international. I love that. So there are some
- 34:05Speaker 1: actual memorials being held for Jackie. Is Friends of Big
- 34:08Speaker 1: Bear Valley involved in those, or are those being just
- 34:11Speaker 1: done by people who want to honor her?
- 34:15Speaker 4: There's some that are happening this weekend, and we don't
- 34:17Speaker 4: have anything to do with that. We are working with
- 34:21Speaker 4: some of the local agencies to do something in October.
- 34:26Speaker 4: I believe October 3rd and maybe even the 4th. And so...
- 34:31Speaker 4: There's more information coming out about that. And so we'll
- 34:37Speaker 4: be there for that. And if people want to stop
- 34:40Speaker 4: by this weekend, that's up to them. Again, it has
- 34:42Speaker 4: nothing to do with Friends of Big Bear Valley. And
- 34:46Speaker 4: it just shows that Jackie's reach was bigger than her wingspan.
- 34:54Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 34:55Speaker 1: So how is Shadow doing?
- 34:58Speaker 4: Shadow's being Shadow. He's doing eagle things. We're seeing him
- 35:02Speaker 4: on our camp, too, and he's come to the nest
- 35:04Speaker 4: a bit. Katie seems to like hanging out with him,
- 35:08Speaker 4: and he's tolerant of her mostly, and he's helped her
- 35:11Speaker 4: move some sticks around, but when she tries to make
- 35:14Speaker 4: a few moves, he... voices his displeasure backs away so
- 35:19Speaker 4: it's not quite nesting season for Shadow and his hormones
- 35:22Speaker 4: don't really change until December so it'll be interesting to
- 35:26Speaker 4: see what happens but we want the best for Shadow.
- 35:29Speaker 1: Absolutely. We also saw some posts that there was a
- 35:32Speaker 1: visitor to the nest and some people were surmising that
- 35:36Speaker 1: it might have been one of the kids that Gizmo
- 35:38Speaker 1: might have come back but there's no real way of
- 35:40Speaker 1: knowing or do you guys know?
- 35:43Speaker 4: There's no real way of knowing because You know, they're
- 35:46Speaker 4: not banded. There's quite a bit of visiting eagles in
- 35:49Speaker 4: the area right now. And so we're not exactly sure.
- 35:53Speaker 4: And we haven't seen any of the kids in quite
- 35:57Speaker 4: some time, at least from this season. So we think
- 36:00Speaker 4: that they've dispersed. And we're just blessed with any eagle
- 36:04Speaker 4: sightings that we get.
- 36:06Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 36:06Speaker 1: How unusual is it to have an offspring return to
- 36:08Speaker 1: the nest? Because we know that Jackie, who was born
- 36:11Speaker 1: in Big Bear... She stayed here the whole time, but
- 36:14Speaker 1: then like Katie came from 100 miles away. So is
- 36:18Speaker 1: it pretty unusual for them to stay in one space?
- 36:22Speaker 2: Yes.
- 36:22Speaker 4: We don't know if Jackie stayed and then came back.
- 36:27Speaker 4: We don't know how far away she may have dispersed,
- 36:30Speaker 4: if she ever dispersed the territory at all.
- 36:33Speaker 2: It's very rare.
- 36:34Speaker 4: For them to come back to their natal area. I
- 36:36Speaker 4: think in all of the nests that are tracked, there's
- 36:38Speaker 4: been only one or two where that's actually occurred.
- 36:44Speaker 1: Well, Jackie did it. It's one of the things that
- 36:46Speaker 1: made her so incredibly special. And we'll tell you, too,
- 36:49Speaker 1: I don't know if you have the camera on, but
- 36:50Speaker 1: I've got the Big Bear Bald Eagle live nest cam on.
- 36:55Speaker 1: And they've got the camera turned around and you see
- 36:57Speaker 1: two eagles perched in a tree opposite the nest.
- 37:03Speaker 4: Yes, that's the roost tree. And that's where Shadow likes
- 37:07Speaker 4: to sleep at night. Eagles only use the nest for
- 37:12Speaker 4: incubating and raising chicks. And so they prefer to sleep
- 37:17Speaker 4: standing up perched. And so Katie seems to have taken
- 37:23Speaker 4: a branch by shadow each evening. And so we've been
- 37:26Speaker 4: watching them.
- 37:26Speaker 1: That's so cute. It's so fun. And I'm so glad that,
- 37:29Speaker 1: like we talked about before, the people seem to be
- 37:31Speaker 1: embracing Katie.
- 37:32Speaker 8: Yes. Yes.
- 37:34Speaker 4: There was some confusion. She was not the eagle that
- 37:36Speaker 4: was involved in the altercation with Jackie. And so that
- 37:40Speaker 4: wouldn't matter. But it is a different eagle. And yes,
- 37:44Speaker 4: most people seem to be embracing her. And we're happy
- 37:46Speaker 4: about that.
- 37:47Speaker 1: Absolutely. Friends of Big Bear Valley's Jenny Bossard, thanks so
- 37:50Speaker 1: much for taking some time to talk to us this
- 37:53Speaker 1: California Wildlife Day in remembrance of our favorite Jackie the
- 37:58Speaker 1: bald eagle. Thanks, Jenny.
- 37:59Speaker 4: Thank you for sponsoring that and making that happen.
- 38:02Speaker 1: Of course. It was our pleasure. We love Jackie's. Have
- 38:05Speaker 1: a great day and a happy bald eagle day.
- 38:06Speaker 6: You too.
- 38:07Speaker 4: Thank you. You too.
- 38:09Speaker 8: All right.
- 38:09Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
- 38:11Speaker 1: of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. A podcaster in L.A. arrested
- 38:14Speaker 1: for allegedly threatening to kill President Trump has pleaded not
- 38:17Speaker 1: guilty in federal court. Benjamin Southworth, who hosted a show
- 38:21Speaker 1: called The Remix, was ordered held without bond yesterday. Prosecutors
- 38:25Speaker 1: say he posted videos calling for Trump's assassination in and
- 38:29Speaker 1: targeted the family of the president's personal attorney. First Assistant U.S.
- 38:33Speaker 1: Attorney Bill Assele says such threats will not be tolerated.
- 38:37Speaker 2: You absolutely have a First Amendment right to express your
- 38:40Speaker 2: political viewpoint and your displeasure with any elected official, but
- 38:44Speaker 2: there is a line.
- 38:46Speaker 1: Southworth is looking at up to five years in federal
- 38:48Speaker 1: prison if convicted. The latest forecast from the Commercial Real
- 38:52Speaker 1: Estate Development Association paints an encouraging picture for the U.S. economy.
- 38:57Speaker 6: Tariffs, rising interest rates, and rising oil prices from the
- 39:00Speaker 6: Iran war have all affected industrial real estate. But real
- 39:03Speaker 6: estate economist and investment strategist Dr. Josh Harris says things
- 39:06Speaker 6: still look pretty stable.
- 39:07Speaker 2: We are seeing increasing demand for industrial real estate. We've
- 39:11Speaker 2: seen pretty good stability at rents at our forecast. Looks like,
- 39:15Speaker 2: you know, barring anything major surprises of which we can't,
- 39:18Speaker 2: you know, are outside of our control, we're probably going
- 39:20Speaker 2: to have a good set of years ahead of us.
- 39:22Speaker 6: He says despite consumer sentiment being low, people are still
- 39:25Speaker 6: buying a lot and what they're buying has to come
- 39:27Speaker 6: through warehouses. Mark Rahner, KFI News.
- 39:30Speaker 1: And more economic news this morning. We just talked to
- 39:33Speaker 1: Bloomberg's John Tucker a few minutes ago. The jobs report
- 39:36Speaker 1: is out. The economy added 162,000 jobs this last month,
- 39:43Speaker 1: which is way over what analysts were predicting. The jobless
- 39:46Speaker 1: rate has held steady at 4.1%. TikTok making updates that
- 39:51Speaker 1: could change how its 100 million U.S. users engage in comments.
- 39:56Speaker 1: The social media app is adding a new voice note
- 39:59Speaker 1: feature so followers can record a message and post it
- 40:02Speaker 1: in comments. But ABC's Elizabeth Schulze says they're not related
- 40:06Speaker 1: to recent legal cases.
- 40:08Speaker 12: TikTok has yet to say if it'll make any other
- 40:10Speaker 12: changes for teens after Instagram's parent company Meta last week
- 40:15Speaker 12: agreed to impose daily screen time limits, block the app
- 40:18Speaker 12: at night and make other design updates for teens.
- 40:22Speaker 1: TikTok is also adding a live poll feature. Star Trek
- 40:30Speaker 1: fans can boldly go to Glendale this weekend for a

- 41:00Speaker 1: series premiered September 8th, 1966. I'm still watching Star Trek.

- 41:10Speaker 3: I have issues.
- 41:11Speaker 1: I do too. This season, not my favorite.
