• 0:38
  Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. If you'd like to weigh in,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: of course, we'd love to hear from you. On the app,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: there's a talk-back feature, a little microphone in the upper
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: right-hand corner. Always love to hear from wake-up call listeners.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Those of us who have to get up at 0-dark-30.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: As Will says. Well, I survived going over the edge.
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Photographic evidence.
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: You do.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Will came along. He was my official videographer. I'll be
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: telling you what it feels like to dangle off a
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: building 231 feet.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Up in the air.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: It gets easier each time, right?
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:16
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: We got a lot going on. So much happened over
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the weekend. You know, after Friday afternoon, I sort of
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: went on a blackout of everything. Just wanted to chill out.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: So we got a lot to get caught up on.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: And we'll get you all caught up in the next
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: hour before you get your work day and your whatever
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: day started. Wouldn't it be nice not to work? I
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: have a friend who retired. I was like, how does
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that happen? She's busier now than before she retired, but,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: you know. All right, here's what's ahead on Wake Up Call.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Hurricanes Polo and Odalis could wreak some havoc on Southern
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: California beaches. Coastal flooding, high surf, and dangerous rip currents
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: are expected to peak today and tomorrow. Sandbags are available
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to residents of fire stations. People are being urged not
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to swim or surf because of elevated bacteria levels and
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the strong rip currents. Three drivers have been arrested after
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: a series of crashes along the 118 freeway. CHP says
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the first crash happened early yesterday morning with a red
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Tesla going the wrong way on the freeway. CHP says
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: while the first crash was being investigated, another driver passed
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: red emergency flares and crashed into the scene. A firefighter
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: was injured. And then hours later, a third driver crashed
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: at the same scene. All three of those drivers arrested
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: for DUI. President Trump says the arrests of five men
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: suspected of planning a terror attack on a U.S. base
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: in England is fantastic news. British police say they made
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the arrest early yesterday, acting on a tip about three
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: suspicious vehicles heading toward RAF Fairford in western England, which
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: is one of the bases where U.S. forces stage attacks
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: on around. A couple of big decisions came down on
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Friday from the Supreme Court. Both will have an impact
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: on midterms. ABC's Peter Haralambous will let us how it
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: could affect your vote and others. Holidays just around the corner.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Less than three months until Christmas. It's the 28th. So, yeah,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: officially less than three months. ABC's Jim Ryan has a
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: message for all you procrastinators who are planning to head
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: home for the holidays. That's coming up a little bit
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: later on Wake Up Call. Let's get started with some
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: of the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Hurricane Polo could cause strong waves, rip currents, flooding, and
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: beach erosion along the Southern California coast.
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: The Southland won't get a direct hit from Hurricane Polo,
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: which is moving toward Mexico. But south-facing beaches could still
• 3:38
  Speaker 8: see waves as high as 7 feet in the next
• 3:40
  Speaker 8: few days. A warning for dangerous beach conditions will be
• 3:43
  Speaker 8: in effect until at least Wednesday. Tammy Trujillo, KFI News.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: A man from Koreatown is expected to change his plea
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: to guilty this morning. to federal charges for throwing Molotov
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: cocktails at security officers at the federal building in downtown L.A.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: The attack happened late last year. Prosecutors say Jose Hovel
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: was motivated by anti-immigration enforcement sentiments. He allegedly shouted anti-ICE
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: comments before he threw the firebombs. Governor Newsom has signed
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: some new bills inspired by the warehouse fire in Boyle Heights.
• 4:15
  Speaker 9: The two new measures come after families in Boyle Heights
• 4:18
  Speaker 9: and East L.A. were exposed to toxic smoke and lived
• 4:20
  Speaker 9: with the stench of millions of pounds of rotting food
• 4:23
  Speaker 9: for months. The new laws are aimed at preventing similar
• 4:26
  Speaker 9: disasters and protecting nearby residents. One allows higher fines when
• 4:30
  Speaker 9: violations at large commercial buildings threaten public safety. The other
• 4:34
  Speaker 9: requires certain large cold storage facilities to set aside money
• 4:38
  Speaker 9: to help communities during emergencies. Aileen Gonzalez, KFI News.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: The latest campaign filings show L.A. Mayor Bass and City
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Councilmember Nithya Raman are nearly tied in fundraising ahead of
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: their November runoff. Bass has raised about $ 1. 5 million directly
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: from donors and received another million in city matching funds.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Rahman has collected about $ 1. 1 million from donors and $ 1. 4
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: million in matching funds. That puts both campaigns at roughly
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: $ 2. 5 million raised. One of the candidates has created a
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: little drama in her bid to become the next mayor.
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: L.A.
• 5:12
  Speaker 10: Mayoral candidate Nithya Raman's campaign is spending $ 15, 000 on four
• 5:16
  Speaker 10: short vertical videos designed to reach younger voters. The ads
• 5:20
  Speaker 10: use over-the-top soap opera storylines and spoofs of Mean Girls
• 5:25
  Speaker 10: and The Pit to highlight Raman's policy positions. Her campaign
• 5:28
  Speaker 10: says similar videos produced during the primary racked up more
• 5:32
  Speaker 10: than 850,000 views. The new videos are being made mostly
• 5:35
  Speaker 10: by young L.A. production workers who already work in the
• 5:37
  Speaker 10: growing microdrama industry. Heather Brooker, KFI News.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to ABC's Peter Harlambous. So, Peter,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: a couple of big rulings came down from the Supreme
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Court on Friday. And since we were headed into the weekend,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: in case people missed it, I wanted to get caught up,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: find out what the rulings are and how they will
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: or will not affect the upcoming midterms.
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: That's right. A real flurry of opinions on Friday, especially
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: as we get close, less than two months before the midterms.
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: The Trump administration handed both a win and a loss.
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: The Supreme Court is now allowing them to use a
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: federal citizenship database that has been raising concern that has
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: resulted in concerns for voter groups saying it could disenfranchise voters.
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: They also blocked Missouri from using a new GOP favorite
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: electoral map that would have handed Republicans one extra House seat.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: OK, so on the one in Missouri that it would have,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: which it's happening in states all over the place, or
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: at least the attempts are being made. Did they issue
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: an opinion on why they said it didn't work for them?
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so this is an unsigned order, but it did
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: explain in part why they made this decision. They invoked
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: what's called the Purcell principle. This is this policy that
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: the Supreme Court doesn't want to meddle in elections too
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: close to Election Day. They don't want to institute changes
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: that are going to result in chaos. In this case,
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: the ruling noted that changing this map this close to
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: the election would, quote, usher in electoral chaos. So that
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: appears to be the main reason for this. And on
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: top of that, the Supreme Court already had ruled on
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: this earlier this year and basically said that the Missouri
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: that Missouri should stick with their original map from 2022,
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: though it does keep the door open to changes in
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: the future, especially in time for the 28th election.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: OK, and then for back to the citizenship database, because
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: that's the one, you know, it's got it's an interesting story.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: title to it. And so let's dig in a little.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: And what exactly does it do?
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so basically what the Trump administration did was they
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: took a 40-year-old database that was used by states to
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: check if noncitizens were eligible for some kind of public benefits,
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: and they retrofitted it with Social Security data. The goal
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: was to basically allow states to run their entire voter
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: roll through the system to flag potential noncitizen voters. Now,
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: this was stopped by a district court judge in Massachusetts
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: who noted that, excuse me, district court judge in D.C.,
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: excuse me, who noted that this system was rife with errors,
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: that it was resulting in kind of false positives a
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: majority of the time in some counties, and that it
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: violated privacy law. This ultimately made its way all the
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: way up to the Supreme Court. The justices, in a
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: 6-3 opinion, giving the Trump administration the green light to
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: use this database. Though they noted that the impact of
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: this ruling for the midterms is somewhat limited, there's a
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: separate federal law known as the National Voter Registration Act
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: that makes it illegal for states to purge their voter
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: rolls within 90 days of an election. So that basically
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: prohibits states from actually using this database as it was
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: designed to operate. You can't necessarily run your entire voter
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: roll through the system. and then remove thousands of voters
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: this close to an election. That being said, the Department
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: of Homeland Security is allowed to do individualized searches, which
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: basically allows them to go forward and help states in
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: a less systematic manner.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: So does that mean that moving forward, they can go
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: through and purge certain people from the voter rolls? But
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: because we're so close to an election, nothing's going to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: change for this particular election?
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: I think that's right in terms of in future elections,
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: they're going to be able to go through and purge
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: these voter rolls en masse using this database and other systems.
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: It's unlikely we're going to see that happen as aggressively
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: when it comes to this election because of that state law.
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: And it's worth emphasizing the fact that this system has
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: been problematic. Let's use the example of Nevada. The Department
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: of Homeland Security originally claimed that using this database, they
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: identified 250,000 non-citizens registered to vote across four states. Nevada
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: took a deeper look at that. They originally identified 185
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: non-citizens on their voter rolls. But now the state attorney's
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: general office said they actually did a new records check
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: and confirmed that all of those were false positive, that
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: all of those people registered were actually citizens and should
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: not have been removed from the system. The court's liberals
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: who dissented from this opinion basically noted that this is
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: a harm that is going to result from this ruling.
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: Even though they can't go about this in a kind
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: of systematic manner in terms of removing folks from voter rolls,
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: there is concern that there are still going to be
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: people who are disenfranchised, who lose their right to vote
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: because of a problem with this database now that it's
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: actually being used ahead of this midterm election.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Well, it'll be interesting to see if they have any
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: kind of an appeal or anything like that that's put
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: in place. But that is a conversation for another day.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: ABC's Peter Howard Lombus, thank you so much for your
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: information and helping us sort that out.
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: Thanks so much.
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. British police have arrested several
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: men on suspicion of terrorism near an air base the U.S.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: military has been using for strikes on Iran.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: President Trump was asked about the arrests on Sunday.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Working with Britain, it was an amazing job. We had
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: them under investigation. They were looking to do big damage
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: to our port.
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: A Gloucestershire police spokesperson said officers responded early Sunday morning
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: to reports of three suspicious vehicles moving towards the base
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: and took five men into custody. An army bomb disposal
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: unit was examining the vehicles and an evacuation order was
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: issued for nearby residents. A British government said Prime Minister
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: Andy Burnham was being updated on the incident. Mark Mayfield,
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: KFI News.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: President Trump has rejected Iran's conditional proposal to end the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: war in seven days. The conditions included releasing Iran's frozen assets,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: waiving sanctions on Iranian oil and lifting the naval blockade
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: on Iran and ending what Tehran calls acts of aggression.
• 11:55
  Speaker 11: We stand firm in the face of any new aggression,
• 11:59
  Speaker 11: even if it comes to a doomsday war.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, we are ready, we stand
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: ready for diplomacy. Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Arachi, said Friday
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: that nuclear talks with the U.S. would restart within seven
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: days if the U.S. accepted the proposal. The Wall Street
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Journal says Trump told aides he expects to resume bombing
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Iran after the midterm elections. Attorney General Todd Blanch says
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: President Trump has not denied access for major news outlets.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Trump had banned CNN, MSNOW and Politico over what he
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: said was negative coverage and fake news. Blanche, defending the
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: president's position, says being at the White House is a privilege,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: not a right.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: What the president has said is that he is sick
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: and tired of certain media outlets just refusing to report
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: accurate news.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: A federal judge last week ordered the Trump administration to
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: temporarily restore access to the White House to the outlets
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: that were banned. The administration is touting a series of
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: economic moves with China following last week's visit from Chinese
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: President Xi Jinping. ABC's Stephen Portnoy says China will ease
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: tariffs on American agricultural products, fish and seafood, logs and
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: wood products, cosmetics and medical devices.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: The U.S.
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: Is set to lower tariffs on Chinese consumer products, small appliances, toys,
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: holiday decorations and children's car seats.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: The White House also says China will buy at least
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: 10 million metric tons of American coal in each of
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: the next two years. And the two giant pandas on
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: loan from China have arrived in the U.S.
• 13:30
  Speaker 12: The pandas Ping Ping and Fuchwang arrived Sunday morning at
• 13:34
  Speaker 12: Zoo Atlanta. The pandas were born in 2020 at China's
• 13:37
  Speaker 12: Chengdu Research Base of giant panda breeding. President Xi offered
• 13:41
  Speaker 12: the pandas to the zoo as part of the panda
• 13:43
  Speaker 12: diplomacy between China and the U.S. that began in 1972
• 13:48
  Speaker 12: when then-President Richard Nixon visited China and in return, China
• 13:52
  Speaker 12: sent two pandas to the Washington Zoo. Lisa Carton, KFI News.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Panda diplomacy.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: I like it.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Pandas are just the cutest darn thing. Do you know
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: they have a panda cam at the San Diego Zoo
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: if you want to peek in on the kids any
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: old time? Gas prices are getting closer to all-time highs.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: The average price for a gallon of regular in L.A. County,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: up for the 41st consecutive day to $ 6.
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: 41.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: That's just eight cents away from its record high set
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: on October 5th, 2022. Orange County's average is up to
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: $ 6. 39 a gallon at $ 6. 30 in the IE. The powerful
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: nor'easter hitting the East Coast has uncovered what may be
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the remains of a 19th century shipwreck on Nantucket's shore.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: The editor of the Nantucket Current says it could be
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: a wooden schooner named the Warren Sawyer that wrecked 142
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: years ago. The deputy director of a natural history museum
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: on Nantucket said more investigations needed to confirm whether the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: newly exposed remnants are actually from the 19th century shipwreck.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: USC suspended linebacker Desmond Stephens II because of what he
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: did on the field Saturday in the game against Oregon.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: It comes after a late hit on Oregon's quarterback while
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Dante Moore remained on the ground. Stephens ran around the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: field celebrating his And continued to do so with teammates
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: even after he was called for targeting and was ejected
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: from the game. Okay, so on Friday, Neil Saavedra and
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I and a couple hundred other people went over the edge.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: We made it. Repelled 25, 20, is it 26 stories?
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: 25 stories? Who knows? It's way the heck up there.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Way the heck up there. But we made it. And
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you, it's a rush.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: And it's a Russian. Will Kohlschreiber came along just to
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: kind of check it out because we're going to get
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Will to do it next year.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Strong ropes.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Strong ropes.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Strong ropes. Yes. But I will tell you that it
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: is actually fun. But it's also, like I said, it's
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: just terrifying. And I think the most terrifying part is
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: when you're up on the roof and you're nice and
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: safe and secure and you've got all your gear on
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: and you've done your safety check and you're only hyperventilating
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: just a little bit thinking about it. And you walk
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: over to the safety railing that prevents people from falling
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: off the roof. And they hand you a stepladder and say, OK,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: if you'd like to climb over now, like to climb over.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: And then you've got the rigging and you've got the
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: ropes and you've got the people who are making sure
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: that everything's safe and that you're hooked up right. And
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: they go, okay, sit down.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sit down.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, on what? And you're not sitting down
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: on it. And Anne described it perfectly. It's like you
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: go against what everything in your brain tells you not
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: to do. You know, all that fight or flight, all
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: that stuff. And you do it anyway. So we sat
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: down and then off we went. And once you start
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: going down, then it's just like this cool, weird experience.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: And and you can see because you're going down the
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: side of this glass building and every once in a
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: while you catch a glimpse of yourself and then you
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: can see the one on one behind you. And then
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I looked up because I did have a GoPro. It's
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: it's a rather long camera. You know, it's like nine minutes,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I think is how long it took us to get down.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: And I need to cut it up because it's a
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: lot of it's just kind of boring. Like, here we go.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Here we go. I'll show it to you. I'll share
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: it on Instagram when I get it cut up. But,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: you know, you look up and you're like, oh, my God,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: you're at the top. You know, there's a building way
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: up at the top and you can look up and
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the guys are looking over waving, giving you the thumbs
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: up from. And then you get to the point where
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: you go, OK, I'm far enough down. I can I
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: can take a look around. And then you kind of
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: spin around away from the building and And you can
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: see the mountains and you can see the freeway and
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: it's a beautiful day and you go, wow, this is
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: really cool. And you kind of forget that you're still
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: 150 to 200 feet up dangling on a rope. But
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: it was super, super fun. And then I think at
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: about 150 feet down is when I finally looked down
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and went.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: And there was so funny, too, because it's at the Hilton,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: at the Universal City Hilton. And there are people in
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the pool.
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: People just chilling by the pool.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Just watching people come down. So anyway, it was very cool.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I think we may do it again next year. I
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: think they tried to get a commitment from me on
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: tape when we got back down to the ground.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Of course they did.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: But more importantly than the experience that we had, and again,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: if you're looking for a bucket list thing, this was
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: really cool. I mean, like you think of the opportunities
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: that you have and You don't get this many opportunities
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: to do something that, you know, really is like tackling,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: maybe tackling a fear and knowing that it's very safe.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: But also, you know, raising money for a great organization.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: And of course, that's the Union Rescue Mission. We had
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: a goal set this year of $ 30, 000 to raise for
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: URM through the Over the Edge program, and we did it.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: We hit it on Friday afternoon. Neil Saavedra sent me
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: a text with a screenshot of it and said, we
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: did it.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: We did it.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: So I, we didn't do it. You did it. And
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: so thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Because I know
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: money is tight and you want to make sure that
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: the money that you do donate goes to a good cause.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: And this is a good cause. You can go check
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: them out. Uh, you know, they get vetted all the time.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: They rank consistently as one of the top charities because
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: so much of the money that they bring in actually
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: goes to help people get off the streets. They do
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: treatment programs. We've told you about this for the last
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks. They do education. They get people into rehab.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: They get people into counseling. They do job training. They
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: help them find jobs. They just recently had some people
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: graduate from college, you know, that they help them get
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: back on track. And that's what the Union Rescue Mission
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: actually does. It works to end homelessness, not just put
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: a Band-Aid on it. So it's a great organization. Thank
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: you so much for helping us go over the edge
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: and go over the top with our fundraising efforts. So Thanks,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Wake Up Call listeners. You guys rock. Let's do it
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: again next year, shall we?
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Oh, and I forgot to mention,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: you can see a video of my dissent. It's up
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: on my Instagram, at amykking, Instagram, at amykking, and would
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: love it if you'd follow me too.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: COVID numbers have been rising in Southern California.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Here's what Dr. Barbara Ferrer, director of the Los Angeles
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: County Department of Public Health, says about the situation.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: We're having a surge right now, but the levels are
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: still relatively low. So like a surge from where we were,
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: which was very low, to a level that indicates more activity.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: But I want to say it's currently low overall, even
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: with the surge.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Does this mean COVID's back or that it was never over?
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: It's never been over. It's endemic at this point. We
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: have times of the year where we see very few cases.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: And then we have times of the year like now
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: where we have hundreds of people in the hospital. We're
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: seeing higher than we would expect concentrations in our wastewater.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: And people are clearly getting sick from COVID-19. You know,
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: it's going to be for all of us easier to
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: think about COVID-19 and the same way we think about
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: flu cases. and RSV. These are recurring infections. We give
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: them to each other and there are steps we can
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: take to protect ourselves from severe illness and death.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Ferrer says we're heading into respiratory virus season, so it
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: is time to take some common sense precautions, including getting vaccinated.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Stay home when you're sick, wash your hands, practice good
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: hand hygiene. You should consider wearing a mask in crowded
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: indoor settings. And if you're experiencing respiratory symptoms, that's another
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: time to consider wearing a mask so that you can
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: help protect others.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: NBC reports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention raised
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: its benchmark for levels of COVID virus in wastewater, making
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: what would have counted as high transmission now moderate. I
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: asked Dr. Ferrer if the goalposts were being moved, if
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: our government was being dishonest.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure that the government's being dishonest. I think
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: they are changing the classification system without necessarily scientific rigor
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: behind it that would warrant the changes.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Mark Rahner, KFI News.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: State wildlife officers say they found three alleged poachers in
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: the Angeles National Forest accused of killing and mutilating two deer.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: They didn't say when exactly, but the Department of Fish
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: and Wildlife said its officers got multiple reports of unlawful
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: deer hunting and spotlighting in the forest throughout August. They
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: say spotlighting is an illegal and highly dangerous method of hunting.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Officers on patrol stopped two vehicles and detained the three people.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Governor Newsom has signed four new laws aimed at reducing
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: drunk driving deaths in California. The measures make it easier
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: to charge repeat DUI offenders with a felony and, in
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: some cases, with murder when a crash kills someone. The
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: laws also increase penalties for repeat offenders. The four measures
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: were the only DUI safety bills to pass out of
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: 17 proposed this year. Judge expected to give final approval
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: today to a nearly $ 79 million settlement in Reached with
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Delta Airlines, the deal would bring a close to a
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: class action lawsuit over a 2020 fuel dump that doused
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: tens of thousands of properties, including homes and schools in L.A.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: and Orange County. Delta has denied any wrongdoing. The settlement
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: will be distributed among 38,000 property owners and residents. The
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: El Nino that's expected to be the strongest one we've
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: seen is expected to last a lot longer than initially
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: thought to. Columbia University climate activist Azhar Azan says the
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: probability of the El Nino lasting for an extended period
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: is 99 to 100 percent. The El Nino is expected
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: to reach super strength in the fall or winter, but
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: could stick around until spring. Dog owners may live longer lives.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Research published by the American Heart Association say dog ownership
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: is tied to a 24 percent drop in all causes
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: of death for the general population. Having a pet lowers
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: levels of cortisol, the body's main stress hormone, and boosts oxytocin, dopamine,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: and serotonin. I would think that my cortisol levels were
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: pretty high on Friday afternoon. Going over the edge for
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Union Rescue Mission. It's time for Dodger Playoff Baseball. The
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: first game of the National League Division Playoffs is this
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Saturday at Dodger Stadium. Brought to you by Nikaido Shochu.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Nikaido Chochu. We've had a lot of discussion over the
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: correct pronunciation over that. The official shochu of the L.A. Dodgers,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: discover Nikkaido, discover shochu. Here's what's coming out of the
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 24:52
  Speaker 13: L.A.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: County Sheriff's deputies have shot and killed a man at
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: a home in Bellflower. The deputies were called about a
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: medical emergency yesterday and found a woman in her 80s
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: unresponsive and covered in blood. They also found a man
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: who they say pulled a gun and was shot. Both
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the man and the woman died at the scene. Investigators
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: say the two knew each other and that it was
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: not a random act of violence. No deputies were hurt.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Police are looking for the driver who took off after
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: a crash during a street race in San Jacinto. The
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: other driver was injured. Streets around the crash at Soboba
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Road and Lake Park Drive shortly before two yesterday afternoon
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: were closed. The CHP says the two cars apparently also
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: crashed into a third car. Governor Newsom has signed four
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: new laws aimed at reducing drunk driving deaths in California.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: The measures make it easier to charge repeat DUI offenders
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: with a felony and in some cases with murder when
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: a crash kills someone. The governor is also ramping up
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: protections for the LGBTQ community in California.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Newsom signed about a half a dozen bills saying the
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: laws and protections are needed due to the actions from
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: the Trump administration. One of the bills is aimed at
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: providing housing for members discharged from the U.S. military as
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: a result of President Trump's efforts to ban transgender people
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: from serving. Another bill is aimed at protecting sexual orientation
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: and other bills will help access to drugs that prevent HIV.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Newsom released a statement saying Trump has launched an all-out
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: assault on the LGBTQ community. Jason Campadonia, KFI News.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: A new blood test could be a game changer in
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: the fight against cancer. The test that can detect the
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: disease in its early stages has been recommended to the
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: FDA for approval. ABC's Dr. Darian Sutton says the biggest
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: question is, Does testing with this method actually help people
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: live longer?
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: That's a question that researchers are still working on.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: But now that this is recommended, there's huge potential that
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: it might be covered by insurance in the future.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: The American Cancer Society estimates cancer will cause more than
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: 600,000 deaths this year. Having a baby can come with
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: some serious sticker shock.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: Having my baby.
• 26:59
  Speaker 10: A new Money Geek analysis finds the average out-of-pocket cost
• 27:03
  Speaker 10: for a hospital delivery is more than $ 2, 500 for a
• 27:06
  Speaker 10: vaginal birth and more than $ 3, 000 for a C-section. Nebraska, Oklahoma,
• 27:11
  Speaker 10: and South Dakota have some of the highest costs, topping
• 27:13
  Speaker 10: $ 2, 500 on average. California comes in just a bit lower
• 27:18
  Speaker 10: at just under $ 2, 000. Researchers say the differences often have
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: less to do with the quality of care and more
• 27:25
  Speaker 10: to do with the prices negotiated between hospitals and insurers.
• 27:29
  Speaker 10: Heather Brooker, KFI News.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Speaking of big bucks, time to get in your business
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: with Bloomberg's Erica Herskovitz. Good morning, Erica.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Amy.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: President Trump says he's still looking very seriously at a U.S.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: ban on diesel exports.
• 27:47
  Speaker 13: Yeah, the administration has been analyzing the ramifications of potential restrictions.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Over the past week.
• 27:52
  Speaker 13: And however, oil CEOs and industry groups have pushed instead
• 27:56
  Speaker 13: for suspending the federal diesel excise tax, saying it would
• 28:00
  Speaker 13: ease prices without the drawbacks of an export ban. Diesel
• 28:03
  Speaker 13: prices right now averaging 650 a gallon nationwide.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we've already hit that here. I think our total,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: our average is 641 for regular. So if you have
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: to use premium, it's already way over that. Polymark's letting
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: traders bet on whether some of America's biggest banks will fail.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: That's not a very fun bet.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: No, and not nice, right?
• 28:28
  Speaker 13: Regulators in Washington are said to be taking notice, though.
• 28:31
  Speaker 13: Wagers involving Wells Fargo, J.P. Morgan and Bank of America
• 28:35
  Speaker 13: have drawn scrutiny from the FDIC, which is concerned the
• 28:38
  Speaker 13: contracts could grow in volume and eventually contribute to a
• 28:41
  Speaker 13: bank run. No comment from the FDIC on the matter, though.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: OK, GM doubling down on trucks, which, of course, are
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: big sellers and big profit, even though gas is sky high.
• 28:54
  Speaker 13: Yeah, the automaker rolling out new Silverado and Sierra pickups
• 28:58
  Speaker 13: with bigger, more powerful engines while expanding its truck production. However,
• 29:02
  Speaker 13: it's a risky bet for the automaker, Toyota gaining ground
• 29:05
  Speaker 13: with a full lineup of hybrids and threatening to pass
• 29:08
  Speaker 13: GM in market share this year.
• 29:10
  Speaker 12: GM is relying.
• 29:11
  Speaker 13: On the greater fuel economy of diesel engines and adding
• 29:14
  Speaker 13: horsepower to bring in buyers.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Okay. Americans packing up and moving. Where are they moving
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: to and why?
• 29:23
  Speaker 13: Yeah, affordability calling the shots there. According to Redfin, nearly
• 29:27
  Speaker 13: one in five house hunters looked to relocate from one
• 29:30
  Speaker 13: part of the country to another in the second quarter,
• 29:33
  Speaker 13: the highest share since 2021. Florida was the biggest draw
• 29:37
  Speaker 13: while Las Vegas topped the list of destinations. Of course,
• 29:40
  Speaker 13: New York and California continue to see the biggest exodus.
• 29:44
  Speaker 13: People are trading pricey coastal locations to chase cheaper homes.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: But the coast is so nice. OK, the price of
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: having fun in America is going up just like everything else,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: but people are still doing it.
• 29:56
  Speaker 13: Yeah, it's called Funflation and data from Bank of America.
• 29:59
  Speaker 12: Funflation.
• 29:59
  Speaker 13: Spending on hobbies grew, yeah, grew nearly 8% in August.
• 30:04
  Speaker 13: The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics, or rather the latest
• 30:07
  Speaker 13: data from the Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index. found that
• 30:10
  Speaker 13: the Recreation Index, which includes video and audio, pets and
• 30:14
  Speaker 13: pet services, sporting goods and photography, rose nearly 3% over
• 30:18
  Speaker 13: the last year.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: And the U.S.
• 30:19
  Speaker 13: Census Bureau Advanced Monthly Trade Report shows sales at sporting goods, hobby, music, instruments,
• 30:24
  Speaker 13: and bookstores up almost 11%. So it seems that even
• 30:27
  Speaker 13: though we have less money to spend, we still prioritize
• 30:30
  Speaker 13: having fun.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think about that every month.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Every month.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Erika Herskovitz, getting in your business as we do
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: each weekday morning. Thanks so much, Erika.
• 30:41
  Speaker 12: Thanks, Amy.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Ready to fill sandbags from Southland fire departments have been
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: made available for free. A mom in Riverside has been
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: arrested for allegedly abandoning her newborn baby next to an
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: apartment building dumpster. Officials say the baby still had its
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: umbilical cord attached when it was found on Jackson Street
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: last year. The baby was found after people say they
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: heard someone crying in the rain. Astrid Ramos was arrested
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: last week and is facing child endangerment charges. A seven-year-old
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: movie has taken the top spot at the box office.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Avengers Endgame was re-released ahead of the new Avengers movie.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Endgame took in $ 26 million over the weekend. Resident Evil
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: finished in second with Brad Pitt's The Heart of the
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Beast opening in third place. Avengers Doomsday opens in December.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: We're just minutes away from Handel on the news. Without Handel,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: he's on vacation, so... Sitting in the big chair today
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: is the not-so-big Neil Saavedra, who also survived going over
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: the edge over the weekend. Let's say good morning now
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: to ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim, we're less than three
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: months away from Christmas and two months from Thanksgiving.
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and you better be booking your travel now if
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: you intend to go somewhere for Thanksgiving because prices are
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: only going up and they're expected to be higher then.
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: So a lot of people are already jumping on. Booking
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: their trips. So if you want to get in with
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: relatively low fares, you'd better do it now. Domestic round
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: trip for Thanksgiving this year is averaging $ 402. That's up 31%
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: from the same month last year. Hotels, well, average is
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: $ 170 per night. That's about where it was last year.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: But yeah, you're going to pay a lot for that
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: Thanksgiving and Christmas travel even more.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: And are people procrastinating or are they kind of getting
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: on the stick and getting it done now?
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: They're starting to do it now. And the website Hopper,
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: which is a travel site, an online travel agent, OTA,
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: says its business has picked up dramatically. That site, along
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: with some others, operates an AI agent that can help
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: you with booking too. So instead of going to each
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: airline and trying to find the best fare or each
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: hotel site to get the best room rate and best
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: car rental agency for the best rate there, These AI
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: agents are able to skip out, run around the internet,
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: gather up the data, put it into an itinerary and
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: bring it back to you within a couple of minutes.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: It's pretty fascinating stuff. So people are using AI in
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: that way to kind of book their holiday travel this year.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: That's a really cool idea because, you know, you go
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: to the travel sites and then you still have to
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: do a lot of comparing and it takes forever. If
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: you just ask AI, what's the best price and the
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: best time for me to fly and see what it
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: comes up with? That's kind of a cool idea.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Well, imagine.
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: 50 years ago, some physical, literal travel agent had to
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: pick up the phone and call all the airlines, you know,
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: to try to book your travel that way. Now, online,
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: you can do it yourself.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay. Are you going anywhere for Christmas?
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: No, not planning.
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: I'm going to go out to Vegas here in November, though.
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: My brother has his birthday and we're going to go
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: out there and and hang out in Vegas for a
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: little while. So that's going to be fun. But I'll
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: tell you something.
• 34:18
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: I'm traveling on travel credits, right? I was supposed to
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: go to Mexico City last year, fell off a roof,
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: broke my leg, couldn't go. But the travel credits have
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: been sitting there. So for the amount that I was
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: going to pay to get to Mexico City, that now
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: is equal to the amount I'm going to spend just
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: to go to Vegas. And Vegas used to be a bargain.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: You know what's so weird? From where you are, it
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: has been. But Vegas has not always been that cheap
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: from here, from Southern California, which always surprised me.
• 34:48
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Whenever, maybe it was just the times that we were
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: flying or where we were trying to go out of
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: our stuff. But yeah, you'd think that it would be like,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: you know, $ 49 each way. And it hasn't been that
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: way for years.
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: No, no.
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: I think cheap airfares to Vegas have gone the way
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: of 50 cent shrimp cocktails out there.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, I did like the all you can eat buffets though.
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: ABC's Jim Ryan. Thanks for the advice, which is to
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: if you're going to travel for the holidays, get bookend.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: Do it now.
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Jim. Talk to you soon.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: Thanks, Amy.
