• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM 640 Wake Up Call with me,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Amy King, on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Good morning.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: This is your wake up call for Wednesday, October 7th.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I'm Amy King. It's a very sad day around the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: halls of KFI. Our Kono is leaving us. This is
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: his last day, although he's got short timers disease. So
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: good riddance, Kono. No, I'm just kidding. He's actually playing
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: producer today for Anne, who is out today. So he's
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: technical director and producer. We got new Clay running the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: board for us this morning.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Fancy.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: But yes, sad that Arcono is leaving us, but happy
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: for his next opportunity. And just think, he got to
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: leave radio. Not a lot of people do that. A
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: lot of people get fired from radio, but he gets
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to leave.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: On his own accord.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Hey, how about that Kiki Hernandez? He knows how to
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: light up in the postseason. Two-run homer followed by a
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: single-run shot by Freddie. And the Dodgers go on to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: win it, 3-1. So they're up 2-1 in the series.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Game four is today at 3. And then the Padres won, too.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: So even though Ann's not here, I know she's celebrating
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: because they're still alive in their series. That was a
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: freaking great game. And I was watching it last night
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and going, I need to go to sleep. I need
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: to go to sleep. I need to go to sleep.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Then I did fall asleep. And then I woke up
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: right when they won it, like at 10 o'clock. Perfect timing.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I'm wearing my away gray for game four today, too.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Number 42, Jackie Robinson. All right, here's what's ahead on
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Wake Up Call. The Museum of Tolerance will be lit
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: up in blue for the next three nights in remembrance
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: of the October 7th attacks in Israel. Today is the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: third anniversary. Beverly Hills and Jewish and Israeli organizations across L.A.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: County will be marking the anniversary today. Beverly Hills is
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: holding a moment of remembrance at 6.45 a.m. at Rexford
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Mini Park to honor the more than 1,200 people killed
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: when Hamas-led militants attacked the Nova Music Festival and communities
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: near the Gaza border. A coalition of wildfire survivors and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: elected officials have announced an educational campaign for people who
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: may be living in potentially unsafe homes. Because of lingering
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: damage from the palisades and eaten wildfires, L.A. County Supervisor
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Catherine Barger says a house that looks fine may not be.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: And homeowners need to know their rights to address the
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: potential for environmental hazards left behind from the fires. President
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Trump says he has a call scheduled with Vladimir Putin
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: over reports of a potential outbreak of the plague in Russia.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: The president says he's being briefed by intelligence about the situation.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: A woman who worked at an anti-plague research institute has
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: died of what Russia says was pneumonia. Others suspect it
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: was pneumonic plague. A week after a botched execution, the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: woman who survived the execution in Tennessee is awake and talking.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: We'll be talking with ABC's Peter Haralambous about that in
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: just a couple of minutes. Amy's on it. And this week,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the show I found is remarkably lovely. You're going to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: want to keep your tissues handy for this one, too.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: That's coming up at 520. And I am a huge
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: fan of Dirty Dancing. It has gotten a reboot in
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a new book by the author of a couple of
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: titles you'll recognize, The Proposal and The Wedding Date, which
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: were both made into big Hollywood hit movies. So we'll
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: be joined by Jasmine Guillory coming up a little bit
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: later on Waco Call. Looking forward to talking to her.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get started with some of the stories
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. A couple from
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Arcadia has pleaded not guilty to child abuse charges stemming
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: from an investigation into a surrogacy scheme involving at least
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: 21 children.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: This house could only be described as a house of
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: horrors for these incredibly young children that have been brought
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: to this house through this surrogacy process.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: L.A. County D.A. Nathan Hockman says the case is horrific
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and the physical abuse, beating and punishment the very young
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: children got is despicable. He says the couple set up
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: a surrogacy agency they operated from their mansion and used
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: that agency to hire surrogates throughout the U.S. A man
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: accused of kidnapping a UCLA student in Westwood and raping
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: another woman in Culver City appears to have taken his
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: own life. Police say officers responded Monday afternoon to a
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: report of an unconscious person at a home on San
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Vicente Boulevard. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: He was identified by the medical examiner as Alexander Schechter,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: who was charged in April. His lawyer says the case,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: in his words, raises a broader question about the Me
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Too movement. An attorney representing Paramount Plus subscribers says Paramount's
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: takeover of Warner Brothers Discovery is not a done deal yet.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: Is this acquisition and merger safe for Ellison?
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: It is not.
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: Longtime antitrust attorney Joseph Alioto represents Paramount Plus subscribers in
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: a bid to reverse the Paramount deal, which closed yesterday.
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: He says if it gets to the Supreme Court, he'll
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: win because the court has already said mergers like these
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: are unconstitutional.
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: I do not believe that the Supreme Court is going
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: to reverse itself.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: He says he has no doubt.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: This acquisition will be divested and enjoined and prohibited.
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: There's a hearing with the judge in California later this month.
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: Jason Aithenson, KFI News.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: It's 5.08 on your wake-up call. Time to say good
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: morning to ABC's Peter Haralambous. Peter, this case just continues
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to be crazy. We're talking about the planned execution of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Krista Pike in Texas. They botched that. She's been in
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the hospital. She's been unconscious, apparently, but she has awakened.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: That's exactly right, Amy. Recovery, something we were not necessarily
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: expecting last week when we were told that she was
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: on critical care on a ventilator after that botched execution.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: The state of Tennessee ultimately pumping two doses of that
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: lethal drug pentobarbital into her system. Her lawyers at this
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: point still don't know what happened, what prompted this to
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: be a failure. Though if you ask medical experts, there's
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: a concern that they basically missed her vein. They injected
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: that drug largely into her arm, but it didn't hit
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: her system and actually take effect. Another concern that's been
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: raised at this point is whether the drug itself was
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: botched or flawed in some way, given the fact that
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: it's becoming increasingly difficult for states like Tennessee and other
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: states that practice capital punishment to acquire these lethal drugs.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Well, so we're hearing now that though that she is
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: awake and she's talking, any word on what she's talking
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: about or just that she's conscious again?
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: Her lawyers in the statement yesterday basically just said that
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: she's conscious, that she's talking, and that they'll have more
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: details today. They're going to hold a press conference as
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: well as actually appear in court. They're pushing for the
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: state of Tennessee to preserve records related to this execution,
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: essentially just so that there is evidence when they eventually
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: challenge this. Her lawyers are also asking the Tennessee governor
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: to commute her sentence from a death penalty to a
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: life sentence. arguing that what she's been through is enough,
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: that it amounts to torture, cruel and unusual punishment, and
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: that a fair and just solution ultimately would be her
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: spending the rest of her life in prison.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Okay. And even the consideration of this and a decision
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: on this, I think, I'm not sure if it was
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: you that we talked to, that any decision still at
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: least a year away or another attempt at an execution
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: would be at least a year off.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: That's exactly right. I mean, at this point, the state
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: of Tennessee doesn't know what prompted this to go wrong.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: It's the second botched execution in a matter of months.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: So they've paused all these executions likely through the rest
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: of the year, meaning that if they were to retry this,
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: it would at least have to wait until 2027. Really
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: big questions raised in terms of if their protocol itself
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: is flawed. In the aftermath of this, they dismissed the
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: commissioner of prisons. He was the guy who came in
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: and implemented this new execution protocol. Records also suggested that
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: when he was actually overseeing the prison system in Arizona,
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: he oversaw three botched executions over the course of a year,
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: really raising concerns about his experience and reputation as a
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: prison administrator.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then just as a reminder, because now we
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: are feeling sorry for this woman that she's gone through
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and she has gone through a lot, but let's remind
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: everybody what she did.
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that because the details of
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: the crime are horrific. Her and her boyfriend at the time,
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: in 1995, were convicted of taking one of her classmates,
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: an 18-year-old, into the woods, torturing her, then carving her
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: skin with a box cutter before ultimately killing her. Really
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: horrific details that... She's ultimately at this point acknowledged she committed.
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: That's what resulted in this death penalty. Her ex-boyfriend at
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: the time, excuse me, her boyfriend at the time, he
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: was a minor when this happened, so he only received
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: a life sentence. Her attorneys at this point have been
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: arguing that the judge who sentenced her failed to consider
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: mitigating circumstances, namely the fact that she had an abusive childhood,
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: that she was sexually abused as a minor, and that
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: that played into her decision-making abilities when she committed this crime.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: All right. ABC's Peter Haralambous. Thanks so much. Appreciate the information,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: as always. We'll talk to you soon.
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: Thanks, Amy.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: All right. Let's get back to some of the stories
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. The U.S. and
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: others are pushing Russia for more information about the mysterious
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: death of a lab worker in Siberia. ABC's Elizabeth Schulze
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: says the woman worked at an anti-plague lab when she died.
• 9:51
  Speaker 8: The World Health Organization saying Russian health authorities claimed the
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: death of a young lab worker was caused by severe pneumonia,
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: not plague. But questions are swirling over what got her sick.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: The WHO says it's also asking for more information following
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: media reports of another employee who has pneumonia of an
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: undetermined cause. New York has declared a disaster emergency because
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: of measles.
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: Governor Kathy Hochul issued the executive order over 108 cases
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: reported this year, 92 since mid-July. 101 cases were confirmed
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: outside of New York City, so it ain't a big
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: city thing. The declaration adds paramedics, midwives, pharmacists and others
• 10:34
  Speaker 9: to the network of people giving the measles vaccine. Measles
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: was declared eliminated from the U.S. in 2000 when transmission
• 10:40
  Speaker 9: of a virus was absent for more than 12 months.
• 10:42
  Speaker 9: Since then, the anti-vaccination movement has grown as childhood vaccination
• 10:46
  Speaker 9: rates have declined, which has dropped the herd immunity threshold
• 10:49
  Speaker 9: below its required 95% in many communities. Michael Crozier, KFI News.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Cornell University trustees have announced that former Deputy Attorney General
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Sally Yates is going to review... how the university handles
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: sexual misconduct complaints. The announcement follows days of outrage over
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: allegations of a gang rape at a frat house in 2024.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: The review will cover how the university investigates reports of
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: sexual assault and sexual harassment, how the disciplinary process works,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and more. New York's Attorney General Letitia James is doing
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: a criminal investigation. The government of Nepal has announced the
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: end of the search and rescue operation for nearly 5,300
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: people still missing since that massive flooding in August. The
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: prime minister's office says it will now focus on rehabilitation
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: and reconstruction. The government estimates recovery will cost $ 4. 77 billion
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: with efforts focused on restoring roads and bridges in remote areas.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: The flood killed more than 1,400 people. The National Hurricane
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Center is keeping an eye on the Gulf Coast as
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the first hurricane of the season could hit the U.S. mainland.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Right now, Isaias, that's an interesting name. They're getting weird names.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: What happened to Hurricane Amy, right? Isaias is a tropical storm.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Meteorologist Ginger Zee says Louisiana through coastal Mississippi, Alabama, and
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the Florida Panhandle are all in the storm's path. There's
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of fuel at the surface above average temperatures
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: in the Gulf because it's been undisturbed. There's a little
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: bit fighting it at the top end in the atmosphere.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Isaias is forecast to become a hurricane and hit the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Gulf Coast this week, possibly Friday night into Saturday. Student
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: loan borrowers have more time to reduce their interest rate.
• 12:42
  Speaker 10: They now have until the end of the year to
• 12:45
  Speaker 10: enroll into auto pay and have their interest rate reduced
• 12:48
  Speaker 10: by 1%. The original deadline was September 30th, but the U.S.
• 12:52
  Speaker 10: Department of Education extended it to give borrowers more time
• 12:55
  Speaker 10: to enroll. The rate reduction will last through June of 2028.
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: Borrowers already using auto pay receive a 0.25% discount, so
• 13:04
  Speaker 10: the new reduction adds 0.75%. Nearly 2 million borrowers have
• 13:08
  Speaker 10: enrolled since the rate reduction was announced this summer. Debra Mark,
• 13:12
  Speaker 10: KFI News.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: When we come back, Amy's on it. I'm on the stream,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: checking out what Hopefully you'll want to check out too,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: and maybe keeping you away from things that you don't
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: really want to waste your time on. But this week
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I found a show that is remarkably lovely. You're going
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: to want to keep your tissues handy for this one too.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: The Warner Brothers Tower in Burbank is now showing its
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: new corporate identity. Skydance Corporation has been added to the tower.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: The Change came the day that Paramount completed its takeover
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: of Warner Bros. Discovery and the combined entertainment company adopted
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the Skydance name. Most evacuation orders and all of the
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: warnings sparked by a wildfire east of Santa Clarita have
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: been lifted. The fire that's burned more than 1,000 acres
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: is now 71% surrounded. It started Saturday afternoon along Bouquet
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Canyon Road and led to evacuation orders and road closures.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: The cause of the fire is being investigated. Close to
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: a half billion dollars is on the line for tonight's
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Powerball jackpot. No one hit the big one on Monday night.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: That pushes the prize for tonight up to $ 485 million.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be nice? The Mega Millions jackpot is also
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: growing since no one matched all of the winning numbers
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: from last night's drawing. That jackpot goes up to $ 364
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: million for the next drawing on Friday. What am I on?
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I'm on the stream. I'm on movies and documentaries. And
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: last week we were on a musical. And because there's
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: so much content out there, I mean, like, how much
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: good content could there be? Actually, it's surprising how much
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: good content there is. I've got a couple of good
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: ones in the hopper, but I just stumbled on this
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: one over the weekend. It's called Remarkably Bright Creatures on Netflix.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: And Sally Fields just won an Emmy for her performance
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: in this movie. And I was watching the Emmys and
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I was like, I don't even think I've heard of
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: this show. So I thought maybe I would check it out.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: It's based on a novel by Shelby Van Pelt. I'm
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: guessing the book is really good. And The movie is
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: really good, too. Sally Field plays Tova. She's an overnight
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: cleaning lady at a little aquarium in a coastal town
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: in Washington. She lives a kind of a lonely life.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: She does have some friends, but her husband is dead.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Her son died years earlier in a boating accident. And
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: there was some controversy around that. Lewis Pullman plays Cameron,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: who shows up. in town in a beat up old
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: van drives in one day. He's looking for a father
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: that he never knew. So there's these interesting stories and
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: how they intersect is kind of interesting and fun. And
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: then there's Marcellus, the octopus who lives in the aquarium.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Beyond that, I don't want to tell you anything because
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about the movie. And sometimes I
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: think it's better to go into the movie, not knowing anything,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: you know, part of the fun is not knowing where,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: where it's, going and where it might lead. And it is,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I will tell you, it's a beautiful story. It's full
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: of heartbreak about two people who are broken because of
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: what has happened in their lives. The story makes you
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: laugh a little bit, cry a little bit. And I
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: think it kind of restores your hope in humanity through
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: the process. And while watching the Emmys, I thought, you know,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: this is probably a sentimental Hollywood win for Sally Fields.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: But after watching the movie, I think she earned it
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: and deserved it. And I like her. I really like her.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: No, you did not just do that.
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: I did.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I'm on Incredibly Bright Creatures. It's on Netflix. It's a
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: new movie. And I think you should be on it, too.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: You want to, like I said, restore your faith in
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: humanity a little bit. And it did have a couple
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: of surprises that I was not expecting. And I like that, too.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. An L.A. City Council committee
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: has held off on advancing a proposal to broaden the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: city's anti-camping law because of questions raised about the costs
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: and the personnel needed to enforce the policy. Councilwoman Tracy
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Park's proposal would allow council members to set up anti-camping
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: zones without having to pass a resolution. It would also
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: add post offices, fire stations and police stations to the
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: list of places where camping or sleeping wouldn't be allowed
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: within 500 feet. A hearing is set in L.A. in
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the case against Nick Reiner, who's charged with killing his parents,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Rob and Michelle Reiner, at their home in Brentwood last December.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: The defense wants the grand jury transcript and exhibits to
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: remain under seal. The murder charges include the special circumstance
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: allegations of multiple murders and murder while lying in wait,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: along with an allegation that Reiner personally used a knife
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: in the commission of the crime. DA Nathan Hockman announced
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: last month that prosecutors would not be asking for the
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: death penalty. City Council Member Katie Yaroslavsky says she wants
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: to remove regulations that discourage home construction on underused, publicly
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: owned lands. Yaroslavsky tells KFI's Monks in Merrill other cities
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: that are doing well since the COVID pandemic all have
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: non-profit redevelopment agencies that partner with local cities.
• 18:37
  Speaker 11: My hope is that we can create something akin to
• 18:40
  Speaker 11: what they have in those cities where they can use
• 18:42
  Speaker 11: the private sector working with the public sector because the
• 18:46
  Speaker 11: private sector does a lot of things well that the
• 18:48
  Speaker 11: public sector might not do as well right.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: She says the idea is to incentivize people to not
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: just build apartments to rent, but also to build condos
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: so there are more pathways to home ownership for the
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: middle class. A new law in California will allow octogenarians
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: to opt out of jury duty.
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: The law will allow residents 80 and older to permanently
• 19:10
  Speaker 10: opt out of jury duty without documentation. The law goes
• 19:13
  Speaker 10: into effect in 2028. The bill moved through the legislature
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: with overwhelming support. Currently, some older adults seeking an exemption
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: from jury service must first obtain documentation from a health
• 19:24
  Speaker 10: care provider. The law does not prevent people 80 and
• 19:27
  Speaker 10: older from serving on a jury if they choose to
• 19:30
  Speaker 10: do so. Debra Mark, KFI News.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: And an actress from the golden age of Hollywood has died.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Eva Marie Saint won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: for her role in the 1954 classic On the Waterfront
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: with Marlon Brando. She also starred in the Alfred Hitchcock

  Speaker 1: She continued.
• 19:50

• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Emmy Awards for her work on television. According to her publicist,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Eva Marie Saint died Tuesday at her home in Los Angeles.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: She was 102 years old. Tammy Trujillo, KFI News.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: 102. That's a pretty good run. Speaking of a good run,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Made a run last night for another win. Okay,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: they made three runs. Scored three, including Kiki Hernandez's two-run shot.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: That was exciting. What a fabulous game. And it is
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: time for Dodger playoff baseball again today. Your back-to-back world
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: champion Dodgers will take on the Braves in Atlanta. for
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Game 4 of the National League Division Playoffs. First pitch
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: goes out at 3. You can listen to all the
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: action on AM570 LA Sports and stream it on the
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app live from the Galpin Ford broadcast booth. Go blue.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm wearing my away gray. I got
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: my jersey on.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: So they only have to win today and then they're
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: on to the NLCS, right?
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, here's the quandary. I'm going to tell you. And
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: this is my personal thing. It's not you. It's me.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: I have tickets to Game 5.
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Which would be Friday night.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: So you're secretly hoping.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: No. I'm totally torn. Like, I want him to win.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I want him to wrap it up. But I really
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: want to go to a playoff game.
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: We'll blame it on you if it doesn't happen.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Oh. I'm torn. All right. Go blue. You can do it.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: When we come back, or not right when we come back,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: but a little bit later on Wake Up Call, I'm
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: a huge fan of Dirty Dancing. Didn't you love that movie?
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I got to rent it.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: A baby in a corner.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I know, right? Well, it's gotten a reboot in the
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: form of a new book by Jasmine Guillory. She's the
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: author of The Proposal. Remember, it was turned into a
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: movie with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. And The Wedding
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Date with Deborah Messing and Dermot Mulroney. Yeah, she wrote
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: both of those. And we'll be talking to her coming
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: up on Wake Up Call.
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: The L.A.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: City Council's delayed a three-month pilot program to place automatic
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: license plate readers on streetlights. It said it was because
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: of concerns with privacy and data collection policies. The council
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: voted 10-4 to assert jurisdiction over a recent decision by
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the Board of Police Commissioners. The item now goes back
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: to committee and then is due back to the full
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: council in a couple of weeks. Republican candidate for governor
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Steve Hilton has defended his viral campaign ad. That has
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: been criticized by both Republicans and Democrats. He said, in
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: his words, obviously we need to do things differently in California,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: the way we do campaigns. We have to do that
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: differently as well. The ad features two young women sitting
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: on a bed with a pride flag in the background,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: with one urging the other to try a new experience.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: That experience would be voting for a Republican. The election
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: is less than four weeks away.
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: You are my lady.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Love this song. R & B singer Freddie Jackson has died.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: His family says he passed away on Monday. They didn't
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: give a cause of death. He was known for songs
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: like You Are My Lady and Rock Me Tonight. His
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: family said Jackson was a kind, generous soul and added
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: that he loved his fans with everything he had. Freddie
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Jackson was 70. Here's what's coming out of the KFI
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: 24-hour newsroom. Murder charges have been filed in connection with
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: the deadly shooting of a Culver City bus driver. Jose
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Zayas was allegedly intoxicated last week when the driver was killed.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: The murder charge includes allegations that Zayas knew or reasonably
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: should have known that the victim was a bus operator
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: who was killed while doing his job. Zayas is also
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: charged with account of possession of a firearm by a felon.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: One of the men who helped kidnap heiress Patty Hearst,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Bill Harris, has died.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: His wife confirms he passed away last month in San
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: Francisco of a heart attack. Harris was a member of
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: the far-left Symbionese Liberation Army, which in 1974 kidnapped Hearst
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: from her apartment in Berkeley, California. Hearst, the daughter of
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: media tycoon Randolph Hearst, would later appear to join the group,
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: participating in a bank robbery in San Francisco. In the
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: years after the kidnapping of Hearst, Harris served stretches in
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: prison for armed robbery and second-degree murder. At the time
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: of his death, he was 81. Mark Mayfield, KFI News.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Democrats are still criticizing President Trump for suggesting Iran would
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: target Los Angeles or San Diego if it had nuclear weapons.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: The comment was made during a rally Monday in Nebraska.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Virginia Democratic Congressman James Walkinshaw, who sits on the House
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Committee on National Security, says Trump should choose his words
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: more carefully.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: We need the president of the United States to exercise
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: some discretion in terms of the words he uses to
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: talk about this ongoing war with Iran that he got
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: us into.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: The White House says President Trump was stating that U.S.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: cities would have been threatened if a nuclear Iran had
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: not been stopped. Fans of public transit can get free
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: rides today on Metro, Metrolink and the OC bus. The
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: agencies are offering the rides in recognition of California Clean
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Air Day. It's not the only free ride day. You
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: can also get free rides on Transit Equity Day, which
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: is February 4th, and Earth Day on April 22nd. Time
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: to get in your business now with Bloomberg's Matt Piper.
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: Morning, Matt. Hey, good morning.
• 25:24
  Speaker 12: I still have you are my lady in my head,
• 25:26
  Speaker 12: but let's talk business as well.
• 25:28
  Speaker 13: I know.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: It's such a good earworm to have, though, right?
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, 80s, 80s, yeah.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, so Skydance, that was big news here because the
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: deal finally closed. And, well, it was Paramount and Warner Brothers.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Now it's called Skydance. How did it do on its
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: first day of trading?
• 25:49
  Speaker 12: Exactly. So it's on the ticker SKYD. Its shares fell
• 25:53
  Speaker 12: about 2.5% after the credit rating agency Fitch downgraded Skydance's rating,
• 25:58
  Speaker 12: citing the massive debt load it is set to carry. Now,
• 26:01
  Speaker 12: President Trump praised the merger's close yesterday, praising the Ellisons
• 26:05
  Speaker 12: as terrific people and saying it would be a great company.
• 26:08
  Speaker 12: David Ellison acknowledged layoffs will be coming. Workers repainted the
• 26:12
  Speaker 12: Warner Brothers Water Tower in Burbank to add a Skydance Corporation.
• 26:17
  Speaker 12: And Skydance has hinted that HBO Max and Paramount Plus
• 26:20
  Speaker 12: will eventually combine into a single streaming service.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, they're going to rename Max again. Wonder what they'll
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: name it this time. So here's another teaming up. It's
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: not a merger, but it's a teaming up. Apple teaming
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: up with LG.
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 26:38
  Speaker 12: When was the last time you heard about LG Electronics?
• 26:40
  Speaker 12: I mean, they're obviously around, but this is going to
• 26:42
  Speaker 12: be big for them. So Apple's upcoming smart home devices
• 26:44
  Speaker 12: will include a doorbell, a thermostat, and other accessories developed
• 26:48
  Speaker 12: through a partnership with LG. They also include a smart
• 26:51
  Speaker 12: dead boat lock, an indoor and outdoor security camera, a
• 26:55
  Speaker 12: floodlight camera, and will carry the LG brand. Now, there's
• 26:58
  Speaker 12: a host of new Apple devices, including an upgraded HomePod
• 27:01
  Speaker 12: mini and fresh TV set top box. They're set to
• 27:05
  Speaker 12: be introduced next week, while these LG accessories are expected
• 27:09
  Speaker 12: to reach consumers in a few more months. So possibly
• 27:11
  Speaker 12: just around the holiday season.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Do you know what a HomePod mini is?
• 27:16
  Speaker 12: I've never had one before. I have Alexa and she's,
• 27:20
  Speaker 12: I guess, all that I need. She is my lady.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, nice. So that's basically what it is. It's an
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Apple Alexa device.
• 27:27
  Speaker 12: Yeah, something like that. I mean, you know, it's one
• 27:30
  Speaker 12: of those things that's probably listening to us and then
• 27:32
  Speaker 12: telling us what to buy and where to go.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: It's adorable. It's very cute. It's $ 129.
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Target workers, at least some of them, are getting a
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: new wardrobe.
• 27:45
  Speaker 12: Yeah, those who work in the grocery section. They're rolling
• 27:48
  Speaker 12: out a new dress code for the workers. It looks
• 27:50
  Speaker 12: to remake the grocery aisles, as it does, along with
• 27:53
  Speaker 12: the current uniform of red shirts paired with jeans or khakis,
• 27:56
  Speaker 12: as we've all seen. The grocery team will also start
• 28:00
  Speaker 12: wearing hats and aprons so that customers can easily identify them.
• 28:04
  Speaker 12: And the new accessories will display Target's in-house Good &
• 28:08
  Speaker 12: Gather brand. That's usually the cheaper brand that's in the
• 28:10
  Speaker 12: aisles there. That's their own brand.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, good to know. No More Spirit Airlines is good
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: for JetBlue Airlines.
• 28:18
  Speaker 12: Yeah, that's right. So this could be a big boost
• 28:20
  Speaker 12: for JetBlue. The FAA has granted approval to JetBlue to
• 28:23
  Speaker 12: take over the 22 takeoff and landing slots at New
• 28:26
  Speaker 12: York's LaGuardia Airport that used to be controlled by the
• 28:29
  Speaker 12: now defunct Spirit Airlines. It, of course, means JetBlue will
• 28:32
  Speaker 12: be able to add more flights to and from that
• 28:34
  Speaker 12: New York area in case anyone's heading here from L.A.
• 28:37
  Speaker 12: And in its decision, the FAA says giving JetBlue the
• 28:40
  Speaker 12: slots would be in the public interest of by increasing
• 28:43
  Speaker 12: availability of low-priced services, since JetBlue's ticket prices tend to
• 28:48
  Speaker 12: be a little cheaper than those of, you know, Delta, American, etc.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: And someone's not loving it. McDonald's has been hit with
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: a class action lawsuit.
• 28:57
  Speaker 12: Yeah, this is all over AI, Amy. So McDonald's is
• 28:59
  Speaker 12: facing the suit that alleges its AI-enhanced pricing tool violates
• 29:03
  Speaker 12: antitrust laws because it shares non-public data with franchisees that
• 29:08
  Speaker 12: might be competing in the same market. So this suit
• 29:11
  Speaker 12: was filed in Illinois. It says McDonald's pricing tool uses
• 29:14
  Speaker 12: AI to collect data that competing franchises would not normally share,
• 29:19
  Speaker 12: like store-level sales. So it's like, hey, I'm selling this
• 29:22
  Speaker 12: for $ 3. You're selling it for $ 2. 50. And then they
• 29:25
  Speaker 12: all kind of understand where and why, and should I
• 29:29
  Speaker 12: up my price as well? So the chain has said
• 29:31
  Speaker 12: that it makes the tool available to U.S. franchisees to
• 29:34
  Speaker 12: help them set prices at their individual restaurants. But the
• 29:38
  Speaker 12: suit also blames the pricing system for raising McDonald's U.S.
• 29:42
  Speaker 12: prices as of late.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Interesting. So the data sharing actually would work to make
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: them more competitive and give them the opportunity to drop
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: the prices, but everybody's raising the prices instead.
• 29:53
  Speaker 12: Raising their prices exactly and it's essentially this thing where
• 29:56
  Speaker 12: you drive up it kind of knows who you are
• 29:58
  Speaker 12: oh maybe we'll set this price for this person it's
• 30:00
  Speaker 12: going to be a different price for another person it's
• 30:02
  Speaker 12: it's just kind of turning into a mess.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: All right well we'll be watching that one uh bloomberg's
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: matt piper thank you so much we're getting in your
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: business like we do each weekday morning we'll talk to
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: you soon all right sounds good and yes the last
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: day of cono we've got him running around right now
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: we're trying to get uh jasmine gillery on the phone
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: So we'll see if we can connect with her. Hopefully
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: we can, because I want to talk about her book.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: It's only dancing. And if she doesn't call, we're going
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: to talk about it anyway. It'd just be much more
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: interesting with her on the line. So we'll see what
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: we can do. Here's what we're following in the KFI
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: 24 hour newsroom. LA County DA Nathan Hockman says the
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: two people who had 20 children in their home were
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: living in a house of horrors. The 66 year old
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: man and 39 year old woman were arrested yesterday. They're
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: each being held on $ 20 million bail. The children are
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: between a couple months to five years old. The couple
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: accused of setting up to 32 cameras around the house
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: to videotape alleged abuse of the children at the hands
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: of nannies. A Delta plane has clipped the tail of
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: an Air Canada jet at LAX happened yesterday as the
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Delta plane headed to Tokyo. It was taxiing before takeoff.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Air Canada says its plane had just arrived from Toronto
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: and was being moved. The plane was taken out of
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: service for inspection and repairs. No one got hurt. The
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: FAA is investigating. Octogenarians will soon have the option to
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: opt out of jury duty. A new law in California
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: will allow residents aged 80 and up to permanently opt
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: out of jury duty without documentation or a doctor's note,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: anything like that. They can still serve if they want to.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: The law doesn't go into effect until 2028. We do
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: not have Jasmine Guillory, so we're going to continue to
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: try to call her. And while we do that, let's
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: get back to some of the stories coming out of
• 31:56

• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, it looks like we were not able to connect
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: with Jasmine Guillory. Darn it, because I really wanted to
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: talk to her. Okay, so I'm going to tell you
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: just real quickly about her book. It's a New York
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Times bestseller. It's called It's Only Dancing, and it is
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: basically a reboot of Dirty Dancing. So Dirty Dancing was, what,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: 1980 or something like that? So 100,000 years ago. I
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: still want to go and rewatch.
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: It, though.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: It's such a fun movie. Did she write the original? No. No,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: this is a reboot. So it is interesting, though, because
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: you start reading it. It's about summer before senior year. Cat.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: goes to a summer camp with her family. It's the
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: mom and the dad and Kat and her little sister.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: So just like Dirty Dancing. And of course she runs
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: into a guy who is working at the camp. His
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: name is Jordan and he is the dance instructor. So
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: it really follows along the storyline of Dirty Dancing, but
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: it gives it, you know, a 21st century twist and
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: it's set, you know, in modern day. So the dancing
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: they're doing isn't, you know, traditional dance, cool partners dancing.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: It's still partners dancing, but it's new, cool hip hop dancing.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: And so he teaches her how to hip hop dance.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: And there's, I mean, it's, it follows along the storyline
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: so closely, like they have to secretly get ready for
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: this competition and everybody at the camp doesn't know about
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: it and they have to keep that secret. And so
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: it really, it follows the storyline, but it also is
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: a new telling of the story with new modern day situations. So, uh,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: story's super familiar. Um, the characters are fun. They're engaging. And, um,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: I would love to see this one remade. I mean,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: they do so many remakes in Hollywood and she's already
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: got the creds cause she had the proposal, the book,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: the proposal was made into a movie. And so it
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: was the wedding date with Deborah Messing. That was a
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: fun one. Uh, she wrote those. And so it'll be
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: interesting to see if this one too gets the Hollywood treatment,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: but We'll try to connect with her again, because like
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: I said, this was it was a fun read. And
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: I sat there on a Sunday morning and I thought, oh,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: I'm going to start this book. And then I finished
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: the book. I mean, so it's not a hard read
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: and but it's good. It's enjoyable. And really, especially if
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: you have like teenage kids or you have teenage grandkids
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: or something, I think they'll really dig this. There you go.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: And just like that, our time on Wake Up Call
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: is done. Our time with Kono is almost done. We
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: have them for three more hours. We'll get through it.
