  Speaker 2: about the whole thing.
• 4:13

• 4:27
  Speaker 2: KFI News.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: A seawall damaged by the high surf has forced the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: evacuation of about 20 homes in Long Beach's Peninsula neighborhood.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: There are reports of cracked concrete, which suggest possible foundation
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: damage to the homes along Seaside Walk between 63rd and 67th.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Stormy conditions also caused the closure of the Junipero Beach.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Is it Junipero or Juanipero?
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Either Junipero or Junipero.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Junipero. Junipero. It's one of those funky words. Junipero Beach
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: parking lot and access roads to the peninsula, except if
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you're a resident. Republican candidate for governor Steve Hilton is
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: talking about lowering the cost of car registrations in California.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: A typical payment, $ 466.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: For many people, it's even higher than that.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: And only a quarter of the money actually.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: Goes to roads, which is what we think we're paying for.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: So when I'm governor, all of that is going to go.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Hilton's expected to hold a protest this morning outside the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: West Hollywood DMV, where he's going to unveil his plan
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to abolish the DMV. and set annual registration fees at
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: a flat $ 71. I'm on board for that. Time to
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: say good morning to ABC's Sam Sweeney. Sam, we know
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: that five people were killed, five others were hurt, three
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: of them critically, when an Amazon jet overshot the runway
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and crashed into some vehicles. What more do we know now?
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: Well, the NTSB was able to recover the black boxes,
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: the cockpit voice recorder and data recorder from that plane,
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: brought them to Washington. They're downloading them now and hoping
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: to give us a readout, which will give a little
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: bit of a better idea of what was happening on
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: board that plane in those final moments as that plane
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: approached Miami and then touched down on that runway. We
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: can see in the videos there was a storm in
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: the background. The plane came in very fast and it
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: touched down pretty far down the runway. Those are going
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: to be questions for the crew who survived that plane
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: about what was happening, why that happened, should they have
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: pulled up and gone around and retried that landing again.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: All questions that are going to be part of this investigation. Okay.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: And so far, as you just mentioned, both of the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: pilots survived the crash, but we haven't heard anything from them.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: As you're saying, they're going to be asking these questions,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: but have they spoken yet that we know of?
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: The NTSB– the pilots will not speak publicly during an
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: NTSB investigation. So they will be interviewed by investigators, and
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: that will be part of all of this. But they
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: have not spoken publicly. We do know that the five
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: people who were killed were in a Ford Econoline van.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: They were part of a cleaning crew, an aircraft cleaning crew.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: They were on the perimeter road around the airport, but
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: within the airport property. So the plane lands. It goes
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: past the end of the runway, goes through that airport
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: access road, hitting the van, goes through the chain link
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: fence across the road, hitting other cars on the outside
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: of the airport before it comes to a rest in
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: a parking lot that was used as a Tesla storage yard.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: OK, so we know that it so it hit more
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: than the one other car where other people were injured.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: Yes. And, you know, there's 200 first responders that showed
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: up and they had to cut some of these cars
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: apart to get the people out. They were stuck. And
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: some of the bodies, unfortunately, still have not been recovered
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: from this scene. There's also a fuel spill that they
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: need to get cleaned up and get control. They were
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: able to stop any more leakage, but it is it's
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: a pretty messy scene and they have to document it
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: without disturbing it so they can put all of this together.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: Once they get it all documented and cleaned up, then
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: they will be able to remove that wreckage and start
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: to get the airport fully up and operational again. Right now,
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: two runways remain closed.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: OK, Sam, do you know if they're going to do
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: what they do on when it's a really catastrophic crash?
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Like I'm thinking of a crash in Colorado Springs where
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: they literally take the whole plane, move it. reconstruct it
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and then continue the investigation. Do you know if they're
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: going to do that because the plane itself is mainly intact?
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: Generally, they take all of it and they do bring
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: it to a hangar or a nearby warehouse. It really
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: depends on the situation. In a case like this, they
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: probably don't have to reconstruct the whole thing because the
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: pilots are alive. They were able to get the black boxes.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: This may be a bit more cut and dry than, say,
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: if the pilots weren't alive and they weren't able to
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: tell you what was happening or if the black boxes
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: were destroyed or overwritten. This might be a little bit easier.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: Putting a plane back together is meticulous. It's expensive and
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: it takes a long time. But they will have all
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: of the parts and pieces if they need to go
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: back and refer to them. But actually reconstructing it and
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: putting it back together with a skeleton and a frame,
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: likely not the case in this scenario.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: OK, and then it's got to be tough, as you mentioned,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: that they haven't recovered the bodies yet. So they know
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: that five people were killed, but the wreckage is still
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: is it still underneath the plane?
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a pretty messy situation. It's pretty delicate. So
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: that likely will happen today. It didn't already happen overnight,
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: but we should get an update from the NTSB a
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: little later on this afternoon. Okay.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: ABC's Sam Sweeney, thank you so much for the information
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and the insight. We appreciated it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: We'll talk to you soon. Let's get back to some
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: of the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Canada's retaliatory tariffs on about $ 20 billion worth of U.S.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: goods take effect today. ABC's Jay O'Brien says they'll affect
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: everything from steel to cheese.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: The Canadian tariffs retaliation for 50% tariffs President Trump announced
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: this summer on a wide range of Canadian imports.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: The tariffs are estimated to cost the typical American household
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: nearly $ 1, 100 when combined with President Trump's other tariffs. I
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: think cheese is an interesting one, really, when you think
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: of different products, because I think of Tillamook cheese, which
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: is made in Oregon, and Wisconsin cheese. Like, we don't
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: need Canadian cheese.
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: Or do we?
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I've never even heard of Canadian cheese. I'm sure they
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: have it. President Trump is demanding that Bombardier move production
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: to the U.S. as the trade war with Canada heats up.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: The Canadian private jet maker's U.S. headquarters is in Wichita, Kansas.
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: More than 1,200 people work for the company there, where
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: they service jets, operate the flight test center, and build
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: special mission aircraft for the U.S.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Air Force.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: Trump charged in a Monday social media post that the
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: company needs to stop treating America as a piggy bank.
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: He went as far as to threaten no more selling
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: Bombardier in the United States. Bombardier, for its part, defended
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: itself as the creator of tens of thousands of jobs
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: here in the U.S. Michael Kastner, KFI News.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: A woman in Illinois has been charged with murdering her
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: child after allegedly texting about Lindsay Clancy. That's the mother
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: in Massachusetts who killed her three kids and then blamed
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: it on postpartum psychosis. ABC's Erin Katursky says Corey Walsh
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: hanged her two-year-old son in the basement of the family
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: home last week and then stabbed herself in a bathtub upstairs.
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: Court records said Walsh told police she did this to
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: her baby because he was the devil.
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: Her attorney said she was having a psychotic episode.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Police say neighbors tell them Walsh had recently become very
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: invested in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, which ended in
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: a mistrial. Iran-backed Houthis have attacked energy facilities and cities
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: in Saudi Arabia, injuring more than 70 people. The Houthis
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: caused fires at several oil sites and utilities in Saudi
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Arabia's southern region early yesterday. A spokesperson for the Saudi-led
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: coalition fighting in Yemen said the attacks hit civilian and
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: economic facilities. The kingdom's energy ministry said operations at the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: oil facilities and utilities were temporarily suspended.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: U.S.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Southern Command has sunk another Ecuadorian boat the U.S. says
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: was linked to the criminal group Los Choneros. The sinking
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: yesterday was the latest action by the U.S. against boats
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and ships in Latin America said to be involved in
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: drug trafficking. Southern Command said the joint task force intercepted
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: a floating refueling station in that supported drug trafficking operations
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: at sea in the Eastern Pacific. It added that the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: people on board were removed and were being transferred to
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Ecuadorian authorities. Jaguar Land Rover has announced plans to cut
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: 4,000 jobs globally. ABC's Chuck Sievertson says it's to reduce
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: costs and compete with cheaper Chinese electric car makers.
• 13:24
  Speaker 8: Jaguar Land Rover says it aims to achieve $ 2. 3 billion
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: in savings over the next two years. Its chief executive
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: says the auto industry faces challenges with technological changes and
• 13:35
  Speaker 8: geopolitical uncertainty, including U.S.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Tariffs.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: The savings will support investments in electric and digital technologies.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Most job cuts are expected to be in the U.K.,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: And a new study says people over 65 might not
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: need to shower every day. Doctors at the University of
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Iowa say skin produces less oil and starts to thin
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: as collagen is lost with age. They say that makes
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: it easier for skin to dry out with frequent showering.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: They recommend two or three showers per week with spot
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: cleaning on the days in between.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: Spot cleaning.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hot spot cleaning. For people who still want to
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: shower every day, doctors recommend short, lukewarm showers and moisturizing
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: after toweling off while your skin is still damp. I
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: don't like a lukewarm shower. Unless it's like 100 degrees out,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: then like a lukewarm, cool shower. But otherwise, man, I
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: love a hot shower. Eric and Lyle Menendez have been Granted,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: a parole hearing, it's going to happen next year, more
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: than a year ahead of schedule. They were initially eligible
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: for a hearing in August of 2028, but the state
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: parole board moved that up to March of 2027. The
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: brothers were resentenced last year to 25 years to life,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: which made them eligible for parole consideration. About 20 homes
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: in Long Beach have been evacuated after pounding waves damaged
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: a seawall. Remnants of Hurricane Marie have been churning up
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: powerful waves that are damaging the foundations of some houses.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Another round of overnight lane and ramp closures will begin
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: tonight on the 405 through the Sepulveda Pass. Pavement work
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: and K-rail installation are happening between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: overnight tonight through Friday. Up to four northbound lanes will
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: be closed or up to four lanes will be closed
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: in each direction during the work. Let's say good morning
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: now to the CEO and festival director of the L.A.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Wine Fest, Sher Lilico. Good morning, Sher.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Amy.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for getting up early to tell us
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: about your fabulous event coming up this weekend. I know
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: wine is one of my favorite things. And if you
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: mix wine and an equestrian center, I mean, how do
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: you get any better than that?
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Well, it should be pretty great. This is our 21st
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: annual event, actually, but it's our first time at the
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Equestrian Center, so we're looking forward to it.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, so tell us about the Wine Festival for people
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: who have not been. I haven't been yet, but I'm
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: going this weekend, so I'm excited to hear what you
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: have to offer.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: That's great. Well, we have over 50 wineries, which means
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: actually probably over 200 different varietals to choose from. So
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: people will have the opportunity to talk to the winery owners,
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: the winemakers. And we have wineries from Temecula all the
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: way up the coast to Malibu, Santa Barbara, Paso Robles,
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: all the way up to Oregon. And a lot of
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: wineries come from out of the country, Italy, Chile, France, Switzerland, Portugal, Australia, etc.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Everybody has the opportunity to talk. taste as many as
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: they can handle. Um, but it's a great opportunity to
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: discover their new favorite wine. Absolutely.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: And you'll have, uh, several different varietals and stuff. So
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: it's not like if you don't like Cabernet, you're not
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: going to find anything you like.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: No, we have almost everything, including a few sparklies. Um,
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, there are just so many, uh, different ones
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: and new ones and people don't always, um, they don't
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: always want red. They don't always want white. Maybe they
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: want a nice Rose or a Malbec, or we even
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: have a company or a winery with porch. So for
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: those who like something a little bit different, that would
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: be great for them to try.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about, let's talk about the venue.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Cause you said it's the first year that you're having
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the event at the Los Angeles equestrian center. And you know, like,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: What's the ambiance going to be like? What's the vibe?
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Well, it's about three or four acres and a lot
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: of different booths and loads and loads of trees. So
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: as I think they're forecasting some warm weather this weekend,
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: most people will be in shade. You basically arrive, you
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: get a glass, you roam around, you try a few
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: wines from one part of the world or another. You
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: can stop and visit the food trucks Check out everything
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: from popcorn to desserts, a lot of different cheeses and
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: things like that. Just as you roam around, we have
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: live music, we have games. You can stop by one
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: of the breweries and get something from the Wetzel's pretzel truck.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Just a lot of different opportunities. If you want to
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: dance in front of the bandstand, you can do that.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: If you want to sit in the shade and just relax.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: gives you that opportunity as well. And there's been beautiful horses.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: There's over 500 horses at the equestrian center. So you
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: see them out at all times as well.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I love that. It's kind of, you know, you're, you're
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: going outside. There's, I've been to different kinds of food
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: and wine festivals in different places, but never at an
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: equestrian center. So I love that idea. It's sort of
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: a different new, unique place.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Well, it's just a beautiful property and we've always been outside.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: We don't want to be stuck in a, you know,
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: some kind of a building or a stage or something.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: We would rather be outdoors so that you can relax
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: and just enjoy the afternoon and a glass of wine.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: What else makes, you know, makes life work.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: So when is LA Wine Fest 2026?
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: Saturday and Sunday, 12th and 13th. Saturday, we start at two. Sunday,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: we start at one. And it goes for four hours.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: So you've got time to come and relax. You don't
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: have to rush.

• 19:47
  Speaker 4: You can just casually roam around. If people go to lawinefest.com,
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: they can check out the tickets. Tickets are a little
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: bit less in advance than they are at the gate,

  Speaker 4: but everything benefits two charities this year. We have A
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: Head with Horses and the LA Boys and Girls Club.

• 20:10
  Speaker 4: where we have an extra baker's dozen of wineries from
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: small producers. They're wineries that produce less than 2,000 cases
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: a year. And that's a great opportunity to just come
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: in and relax and check those out. And only those
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: who purchase the extra ticket to benefit the charities can
• 20:28

  Speaker 7: say who won until the night of the dinner.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, okay, let's try that.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: So they did that, and that was such a hit
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: that they never went back to announcing them.
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: Ahead of time again.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Davis lived in Hollywood and had been battling leukemia. He

  Speaker 2: And I'm eternally grateful to have.

• 24:06
  Speaker 1: begun charging tariffs on U.S. goods starting today. The tariffs
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: that range from 15 to 50 percent target billions in steel, appliances,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: farm equipment, electronics, paper products, and yes, as we found out,

  Speaker 1: went down under days ago. The Rams and Niners will

• 25:06
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: And she sticks the suckers on your face and sucks
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: all the salt out of your body.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Okay. I love that. Happy 60th birthday, Star Trek. Hey,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: we're going over the edge. on September 25th and 26th
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: to raise money for the Union Rescue Mission, which is
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: such a great organization. We had the CEO, Mark Hood,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: on with us earlier, and Neil had him on the
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Handle Show yesterday to tell us about it. And it's
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: such a great organization because it doesn't only throw money
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: at homelessness, like has been done so much, it actually
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: helps people get off the street, gets them off the
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: streets gets them clean and sober, helps them adjust, get
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: mental health training if they need it, get job training,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: and gets them back on their feet and back into life.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: It's really a great organization. So how are we doing this? Well,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: we're raising money for Union Rescue Mission by repelling 26
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: stories off of a building. I get a little woozy
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: every time we talk about it.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: You've done it already now twice.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I know, but that doesn't, your fear of heights doesn't
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: go away. And we went up and we did a little,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: a walkthrough last week and just looking over the edge
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: is just terrifying. I will say it's not quite as
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: bad as the very first time I did it, but
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: it's still just terrifying. You just get like butterflies in
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: your stomach and all that. Anyway, if you would like
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: to also go over the edge, as I'm telling you
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: how terrifying it is, but it's also like a bucket
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: list thing and it's exciting and thrilling. And it's for
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: such a good cause. A $ 1, 000 donation will do it
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: if you'd like to go over the edge with it.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: But you know what? We would love to get any
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: donation to help them raise the money they need to
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: actually help people. And I think that's what, again, is
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: so important because it actually helps people. You know that
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: 87 cents of every dollar that's donated goes to them.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: You know, you hear about some charities where it's like
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: 20 cents out of the dollar. 87 cents out of
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: every dollar goes to them. directly to the programs run
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: by Union Rescue Mission. How can you help? You can
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: donate and you can do it at URM.org. If you
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: just go there on the homepage, you'll see the Over
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: the Edge. And then there's even a Team KFI link.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: And Neil Saavedra and I are both going to go
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Over the Edge. And if you could donate what you can,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: if it's $ 5 or $ 50 or $ 100, we would so
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. Chris Burry, Thank you. I saw that you
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: donated and we appreciate that so much. Every dollar counts
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: and every dollar goes to help people who actually need
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: it and who actually want the help, which is another
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: important part of getting homeless people off the street is
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: they have to want to get off the street. And
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Union Rescue Mission finds those people and helps them. Going
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Over the Edge, September 25th and 26th. Would really appreciate
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: it if you could donate. Again, it's URM.org, Team KFI.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Let's check in now with Bloomberg's Monica Ricks. Time to
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: get in your business as we do each weekday morning.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Monica. Always a pleasure to have you on
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: KFI Airwaves again.
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: Hey, Amy.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Good to talk to you. OK, so let's talk tariffs
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: because they're starting today and there's a lot of them.
• 28:36
  Speaker 10: Yes, you talked about it a little bit a couple
• 28:38
  Speaker 10: minutes ago, but Canada's imposed 15 to 50 percent retaliatory
• 28:42
  Speaker 10: tariffs that take effect today on hundreds of products from
• 28:45
  Speaker 10: the U.S.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Dairy products, paper, steel, aluminum.
• 28:48
  Speaker 10: This is going to hit states like Ohio and Michigan
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: especially hard since. They do a lot of automotive business
• 28:53
  Speaker 10: with Canada, and it also runs the risk of widening
• 28:56
  Speaker 10: this trade war. Prime Minister Mark Carney's betting that standing
• 28:59
  Speaker 10: up to President Trump is going to help Ottawa's negotiating
• 29:01
  Speaker 10: position and get talks going again soon. But there's really
• 29:05
  Speaker 10: no telling how or when Trump could respond with fresh
• 29:08
  Speaker 10: measures of his own. He did threaten to bar sales
• 29:11
  Speaker 10: of Bombardier jets in the U.S. yesterday on social media.
• 29:14
  Speaker 10: A lot of their supplies are made in Texas, Iowa
• 29:16
  Speaker 10: and Indiana.
• 29:17
  Speaker 9: OK.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Lots of Americans are feeling trapped in jobs they don't like,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: but they're afraid to quit them.
• 29:24
  Speaker 10: Yeah, a lot of people know this feeling, right? Pay
• 29:26
  Speaker 10: gains slowing to their weakest level now in more than
• 29:29
  Speaker 10: five years. Promotions are harder to come by and benefits
• 29:32
  Speaker 10: are really getting squeezed. Not to mention AI is fueling
• 29:36
  Speaker 10: a lot of anxiety. But even with all of that,
• 29:38
  Speaker 10: workers aren't exactly walking out.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: The door, right?
• 29:40
  Speaker 10: New data from Glassdoor shows that the quit rate is
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: near a six-year low now because workers worry they won't
• 29:46
  Speaker 10: find anything better or a role that actually pays more.
• 29:50
  Speaker 10: That better pay and all those perks from post-pandemic hiring booms,
• 29:54
  Speaker 10: they're long gone. And a lot of businesses are cutting
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: back now. There's also a lot more pressure to perform.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting that these numbers are shaking out the
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: way that they did because we just got the job
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: numbers last week and we got three times more than
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: analysts were expecting. So they are hiring, but we keep
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: hearing about the cutbacks.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: And, you know, the jobs report sort of waiver like
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: in July.
• 30:21
  Speaker 10: They weren't that great.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: August. They're good.
• 30:23
  Speaker 10: We'll see what next month brings. We've also got new
• 30:27
  Speaker 10: data on inflation coming out this Friday. So all of
• 30:29
  Speaker 10: that's going to shake out and we'll see how it
• 30:32
  Speaker 10: plays out.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: OK. And at the movies, things played out very well
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: for Spider-Man again.
• 30:38
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, the summer box office was already the
• 30:41
  Speaker 10: biggest since COVID, but it just became the highest grossing
• 30:44
  Speaker 10: of all time. RentTrack says that domestic ticket sales from
• 30:48
  Speaker 10: May through Labor Day stand at $ 4. 76 billion. And that's
• 30:52
  Speaker 10: thanks in big parts to films like Odyssey and Spider-Man
• 30:56
  Speaker 10: Brand New Day, which was number one again for a
• 30:58
  Speaker 10: six week in a row. Now, revenues haven't been this
• 31:02
  Speaker 10: high since 2020, 2013, rather. Also, thanks to superheroes. Back then,
• 31:07
  Speaker 10: the sales record was $ 4.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: 755 billion.
• 31:10
  Speaker 10: That was anchored by movies like Iron Man 3, Man
• 31:12
  Speaker 10: of Steel, and Despicable Me 2.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: All good ones.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: Interesting.
• 31:16

  Speaker 1: a lot of money.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Crazy.

  Speaker 1: Showers make way for heat across the Southland. A heat
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: advisory kicks in this morning at 10. Beaches still going
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: to see big waves because of what Hurricane Marie left behind.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Six to 10 foot swells are expected, along with strong
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: rip currents. The National Weather Service says high tides and
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: large waves could create minor flooding in vulnerable coastal areas
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: through early next week. California's new rule requiring later start

• 32:47
  Speaker 1: say good morning now to ABC's Jim Ryan. Not a
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: fun topic, but a topic that needs to be put
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: into the spotlight. We need to shed some light on this.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: We've got alarming news that more military veterans are committing suicide.
• 33:02
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: Only about 6% of Americans ever served in the military, Amy.
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: But veterans do account for about 18% of the suicides.
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: 17 people every day, former soldiers, Marines, sailors, take their
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: own lives. It's a really shocking statistics. This is National
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: Suicide Prevention Month. And so organizations that serve specifically veterans
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: are trying to highlight the fact that there are services
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: available to them that they might not realize were there.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: And what kind of services are we talking about?
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: Well, we're talking about mental health services, financial services, if
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: that's the thing that's driving the kind of mental health crisis,
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: and really just having somebody to talk to about it.
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: Shante Franco is an Army vet who has twice survived
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: suicide attempts, once while she was in the military and
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: once as a veteran. So how does she handle it,
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: this outreach that she's feeling from people?
• 33:57
  Speaker 9: Remember that you're not there to fix anything. So you're
• 34:00
  Speaker 9: just there to open the door so that they're more
• 34:03
  Speaker 9: open to receiving help. And secondly, lead with curiosity, ask
• 34:07
  Speaker 9: questions and listen and try not to use your own
• 34:11
  Speaker 9: examples because this is about them in that moment.
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: And obviously, that stands to reason that you could have
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: that conversation with anybody who's having a mental health crisis,
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: but especially veterans who disproportionately take their own lives.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Jim, do we know why veterans disproportionately take their own lives?
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, it seems like there's kind of some obvious things,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: but have they really looked into it?
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: Well, they have.
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: And there are all sorts of theories about that, what's
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: driving these numbers. I mean, maybe it's anecdotal, but I
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: think it stands to reason that if somebody has been
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: in a very regimented life, told when to get up,
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: when to eat, what job to do, how long to
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: do that job, then when do they go to bed?
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: I mean, that's a very structured sort of life. And suddenly,
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: out in the civilian world, they don't have that kind
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: of structure. And, you know, that's part of it. But also,
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: you're surrounded by people. Look at the USS Lincoln right now, right?
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: Deployed for nearly a year. 5,000 people crammed together on
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: that ship. Sailors and even Marines. and they're all there, right?
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: Once you're out of the military, you're by yourself in
• 35:18
  Speaker 7: a lot of cases. So that makes it difficult for
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: the transition from military life into the civilian world, Amy.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: You know, that reminds me, I remember the movie, The
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Hurt Locker.
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: And he was, I think he detonated bombs. He was
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: on the bomb squad or something like that. But he
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: got back into civilian life and he just didn't know
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: how to handle it. Because like you said, he didn't
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: have that structure. He didn't have a purpose every day,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So there are services out there,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: but I think you had mentioned that a lot of
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: VAs are not being utilized.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: They are.
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: Exactly. They go unused because people don't realize they're out there.
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: The American Psychiatric Association Foundation is highlighting that now and
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: launching a new public awareness campaign. Raul Andrews is the
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: head of that group. And again, he says it's a
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: It's a state of mind that you present to people
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: who need the help.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: Let's create a baseline where asking for help is seen
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: as a sign of strength, not as a sign of weakness.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: And let's be ready to help if the veterans tell
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: us they need it.
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: Again, he's the head of the American Psychiatric Association Foundation.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Asking for help is a sign of strength. I think
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: that that's a really, really important point. OK, Suicide Prevention Month.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: If you see somebody who you think might be struggling,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Listen to them. Direct them to a suicide prevention line.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Ask them to go to the VA. You know, there
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: are several things that can be done because, yeah, we
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: don't want to lose any more people than we have to.
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: Well, and the simplest way is this phone number 988.
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: And that's the Nationwide Suicide Prevention Hotline. Good for people
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: who are in the military, people who are out of
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: the military, but having a mental health crisis.
• 37:05
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: ABC's Jim Ryan, not a fun subject, but something that
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: we need to shed some light on and get it
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: out of the shadows so people can get help. Thank you. Absolutely.
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Have a good day. Let's get back to some of
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Gas
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: prices in California are holding at a record high that
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: was set for Labor Day weekend. Prices typically start to
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: fall following the holiday. But the conflict with Iran may
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: interrupt that decline. The price of a gallon of regular
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: unleaded in L.A. County is at $ 5. 91 a gallon. It's
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: $ 5. 89 in Orange County, $ 5. 79 in the I.E. With kids
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: now back to school in California, the American Academy of
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Pediatrics is reminding parents of its new recommendations for screen time.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Experts say the focus should be on the quality of
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: content kids and teens consume. Clinical assistant professor of pediatrics
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: at the University of Michigan, Dr. Tiffany Munzer, says it's
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: important to have conversations with kids and be transparent about
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: the goals.
• 38:02
  Speaker 10: Not just about the screen time.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: It's about how can we find high quality digital media.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: It's about how we're using it together and learning from it.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: She recommends parents frame it around activities kids prioritize, like
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: music and sports. A parole hearing for Eric and Lyle
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Menendez has been scheduled for next year, more than a
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: year ahead of schedule. They were initially eligible for a
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: hearing in August of 2028, but the state parole board
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: moved it up to March of 27 because of provisions
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: in law from 2008. The brothers were convicted of murdering
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: their parents in Beverly Hills back in 1989. They were
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: resentenced last year to 50 years to life, and that
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: made them immediately eligible for parole. Companies are turning a
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: victim mentality into a marketing opportunity.
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: Beer maker Pabst Blue Ribbon is offering a reward of
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: up to $ 20, 000 for info on $ 70, 000 worth of stolen
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: PBR and non-alcoholic old Milwaukee beer.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: What's the point?
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: The CEO of Pabst says he's sure whomever stole the
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: more than 1,500 cases or about 34,000 cans of suds
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: a few weeks ago in Montclair. Looks pretty cool with
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: a garage full of PBR and non-alcoholic old Milwaukee. Pabst
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: continues to post online about it, asking people to keep
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: their eyes peeled for a missing truck. Kit Kat posted
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: a stolen Kit Kat tracker after nearly half a million
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: of the candy bars were stolen earlier this year. Michael Crozier,
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: KFI News.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but did Kit Kat ever get those Kit Kats back? Yum,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: I love Kit Kats. That reminds me of Halloween, which
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: reminds me I'm going to decorate.
• 39:33
  Speaker 9: Oh, no.
• 39:33
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: LA Dodgers still have superstar Shohei Ohtani at the plate,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: but not on the mound. He said he's unlikely to
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: pitch again this year. He focuses on hitting. Ohtani batted
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: again yesterday against the Reds. Did he get any hits, Will?
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: He got, no, he got walked onto first base.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Well, he's still battling some minor ailments. He
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: hasn't pitched a game since July 3rd and has been
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: dealing with discomfort in his left knee. Still happy to
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: have him at the plate. And just like that, our
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: time is through this Tuesday morning. Our days are going
• 40:09
