  Speaker 1: people have been killed in a news chopper crash in Chatsworth.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: The NBC4 Telemundo helicopter operated by Angel City Air went
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: down just before 7 last night between two commercial buildings.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Apparently crash landed on a loading dock. Reporter Eliana Moreno
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: and pilot George Marcineau were killed. Another person on the
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: ground was also killed. The chopper went down while it
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: was covering a deadly bus crash. Three people were killed
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and five others were hurt when an SUV slammed into
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a Metro bus on Nordhoff Street just before 5 p.m. yesterday.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: The driver of the SUV was one of the three killed.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: One woman who had been trapped in the bus was
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: taken to the hospital with what first responders called crushing injuries.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Nick Reiner will not face the death penalty if he's
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: convicted in the deaths of his parents.

  Speaker 3: L.A.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: County D.A. Nathan Hockman announced yesterday that his office will
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: not seek the death penalty and will instead ask for
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: life without parole if he's convicted of killing Robin Michelle
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Reiner at their home in Brentwood last December. So somebody's
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: already got their hands on the shiny new Apple foldable phone.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Is it going to be worth it? Price tag's like
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: $ 2, 000 to start. KTLA's Rich DeMuro is going to tell
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: us coming up at 5.20. Also, another Prime Day is
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: just around the corner. Remember they used to just do one?
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Now there's like 10. But the next one's coming up soon.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Rich is going to help make sure that we get
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the best deals. Amy's on it. I'm on the stream
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: checking out shows that you might want to miss or
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: you definitely want to watch. And this one is a
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: show you need to see. It's six episodes. It's gut-wrenching.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: It's heartbreaking, it's inspiring, and hopeful. The documentary has it all,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to tell you more about that coming
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: up a little bit later on Wake Up Call. Also,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I'm going over the edge for Union Rescue Mission to
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: get people off the street and help homeless people find
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: their way home. And I need your help to do it.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you how you can do that
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: coming up on Wake Up Call. Let's get started with
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: some of the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: There's a helicopter down.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: A helicopter crash in Chatsworth has killed NBC4 helicopter reporter
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Eliana Moreno and two others. News anchor Colleen Williams confirmed
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: it during a live broadcast last night. We've been piecing
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: it together here.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: We knew it was a news chopper.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: We knew we'd lost contact with our people out there.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: And we've just received the confirmation. The crash happened during
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: news coverage of a deadly bus crash in Chatsworth. Two
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: people were killed when the Metro bus got T-boned by
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: an SUV.
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: This is a.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Very, very, very tragic day in Los Angeles.

  Speaker 1: Mayor Bass says her heart goes out to the family
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and friends of those killed and those hurt in the tragedies.
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: I'm deeply grateful to our firefighters, paramedics, police officers, and
• 4:08
  Speaker 8: other first responders who responded immediately to two incredible, difficult
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: scenes to save lives and render aid.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: She says the NTSB will investigate the helicopter crash while
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the city's focus is on the victims and their families.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: The calls for D.C. to do something about the loss
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: of film and TV jobs to other countries is growing.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: We need to act and we need to act before
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: it's too late.
• 4:35
  Speaker 9: L.A.
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: Area Congressman Laura Friedman is talking about a federal tax
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: credit to compete with 65 other countries, including.
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: Canada, the U.K.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: And Australia that have built incentive programs to pull all
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: of that work.
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: She says a new study commissioned by the Motion Picture
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: Association shows a tax credit would be great for business.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: We are talking about over 140,000 American jobs every single year.
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: And to people who call it a Hollywood bailout.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: We give incentives to energy companies, to the maker of
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: semiconductor chips.
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: She notes President Trump's on board and she's working on
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: a bill. Jason Aithenson, KFI News.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: And while that's being worked on, more productions are leaving
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the state. American Idol has announced. It is leaving Hollywood
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and will film this season in the greater Atlanta area.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Georgia offers up to a 30% tax credit for unscripted
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and reality TV productions that spend a minimum of $ 500, 000
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: in the state. This will be American Idol's 25th season.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Hundreds of millions of dollars in aid is being made
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: available to L.A. County kids through a state scholarship program.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: More than 71% of public school students are eligible for
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: up to $ 1, 500 through the Cal Kids Scholarship Program. You
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: can find out if your kids are eligible at calkids.org.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. So, Stephen,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I'm amazed that this thing has gotten so big and
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: so contentious. A judge has ruled that President Trump's name
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: cannot go on the side of the Kennedy Center building,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and that started a chain of events yesterday.
• 6:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah, and it's a bit confusing. I'd like to untangle
• 6:09
  Speaker 10: it so everyone understands. We're talking about two separate issues.
• 6:13
  Speaker 10: We're talking about the renaming question and then the closure
• 6:16
  Speaker 10: of the Kennedy Center, which yesterday was closed by a
• 6:19
  Speaker 10: vote of the board citing immediate structural emergencies. They point
• 6:25
  Speaker 10: to the chunk of plaster that fell from the ceiling
• 6:27
  Speaker 10: a couple of weeks ago during some heavy rain here
• 6:29
  Speaker 10: in D.C., And the board voted to immediately close the building,
• 6:33
  Speaker 10: which includes a number of venues inside of it.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: It's a massive structure.
• 6:36
  Speaker 10: So there's an opera house, a concert hall, another theater,
• 6:40
  Speaker 10: and then various stages in the building, gift shops. And
• 6:44
  Speaker 10: on the top floor, a restaurant and a memorial to
• 6:48
  Speaker 10: John F.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Kennedy.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: It's D.C.
• 6:50
  Speaker 10: 's only memorial to the slain president. And it includes
• 6:54
  Speaker 10: exhibits behind glass and all that, just like a museum. Well,
• 6:57
  Speaker 10: yesterday the board voted to close the whole structure because
• 7:00
  Speaker 10: of the idea that this 55-year-old building is in need
• 7:03
  Speaker 10: of immediate repair or else. And that's one issue. The
• 7:07
  Speaker 10: second issue is what about this renaming? The judge said
• 7:10
  Speaker 10: yesterday that the board was effectively thumbing its nose at
• 7:14
  Speaker 10: the federal court and at the Congress. That there's a
• 7:17
  Speaker 10: law that's been on the books since the early 1980s
• 7:19
  Speaker 10: that says that there should be no other memorials in
• 7:24
  Speaker 10: the public spaces of the Kennedy Center except to John F. Kennedy.
• 7:27
  Speaker 10: And the concern, I guess, in the early 80s was
• 7:30
  Speaker 10: that some wealthy person might put up the money and
• 7:33
  Speaker 10: want his or her name on certain things.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Congress said no to that.
• 7:37
  Speaker 10: And now here you have the board handpicked by Donald
• 7:40
  Speaker 10: Trump saying, we should honor him because of all of
• 7:42
  Speaker 10: his efforts to restore the building. Howard Lutnick, the president's
• 7:47
  Speaker 10: commerce secretary, recently put it this way. If a wealthy
• 7:50
  Speaker 10: person were, you know, raising money or donating his own money,
• 7:53
  Speaker 10: for a university or a hospital, well, he would have
• 7:56
  Speaker 10: the reasonable expectation that his name would go.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: On it, too.
• 7:59
  Speaker 10: Except that most of the money, most all of the
• 8:02
  Speaker 10: money that would be put up for renovations of the
• 8:04
  Speaker 10: Kennedy Center have been approved by Congress. That's taxpayer money.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: It's your money. It's my money.
• 8:09
  Speaker 10: To a certain extent, it's Donald Trump's money, we think.
• 8:12
  Speaker 10: But ultimately, this question of whether the renaming should happen
• 8:19
  Speaker 10: and how tied it is to the You know, the
• 8:21
  Speaker 10: president put on social media yesterday that if he doesn't
• 8:23
  Speaker 10: prevail on this naming issue, there won't be any renovation
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: of the building at all.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: OK, so so as it stands now, the Kennedy Center
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: is closed. And we don't know if there's going to
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: be renovations. And the judge says, no, you can't put
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: your name on it. And sounds like Trump is going
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: to take his ball and go home.
• 8:47
  Speaker 10: Well, that's his position, and he said he would take
• 8:49
  Speaker 10: it to the appeals court and ultimately to the Supreme Court,
• 8:51
  Speaker 10: and if he loses, quote, the reconstruction and renovation of
• 8:55
  Speaker 10: the Kennedy Center will not take place, which makes you
• 8:58
  Speaker 10: wonder why Congress already put up the money, why this
• 9:01
  Speaker 10: is so important to him, why he would stand in
• 9:04
  Speaker 10: the way. It's a question for him.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay. Well, hopefully he'll answer it one day. ABC's
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Stephen Portnoy, thanks so much.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: You bet.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: All right. Interesting stuff. Yeah, I know that he wants
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: his name on stuff. I just don't understand, you know,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: is that the hill you want to die on? It
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: seems a little extreme to me. That is my personal opinion,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: not my reporter opinion. All right, let's get back to
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: some of the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: At least 19 people have been killed in a building
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: collapse in Gaza. The building was home to displaced Palestinian families.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: It had been heavily damaged during the Israel-Hamas war, and
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: there were warnings about its safety. Dozens of people remain
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: missing or trapped under the rubble. The judge in the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Massachusetts has indefinitely sealed the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: names of the jurors almost two weeks after a mistrial
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: was declared.
• 9:59
  Speaker 11: A Massachusetts woman admitted to killing her three young children
• 10:03
  Speaker 11: in 2023, but argued postpartum psychosis made her not criminally responsible.
• 10:08
  Speaker 11: A jury recently failed to return a verdict resulting.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: In a mistrial.
• 10:12
  Speaker 11: Now Judge William Sullivan is concerned about jurors' safety and
• 10:15
  Speaker 11: the risk of immediate and irreparable harm if their names
• 10:18
  Speaker 11: are released. This comes after reports identified the holdout juror.
• 10:22
  Speaker 11: Sullivan says most jurors have remained anonymous despite requests for interviews.
• 10:27
  Speaker 11: Tammy Trujillo, KFI News.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: The House Oversight Committee has voted to hold billionaire Leon
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Black in contempt of Congress amid its investigations into Jeffrey Epstein.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: ABC's Peter Harlambu says... Black defied two subpoenas to appear
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: for a deposition, as well as to turn over documents
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: pertinent to the inquiry into Epstein.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Black's lawyers called the move a, quote, complete abomination and
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: accused the committee of abusing its power. The contempt resolution
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: now heads to the House floor for a vote as
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: early as this week.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Black left a closed-door voluntary interview with the panel in June.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: after refusing to answer questions about nondisclosure agreements and did
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: not comply with subpoenas to appear before the committee two
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. Kentucky Republican Congressman Thomas Massey has introduced a
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the war
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: in Iran. It's not the first attempt to impeach Hegseth.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Democrats gave it a go in April. This is the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: first impeachment effort by a Republican. Massey says the element
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: of surprise was part of his plans.
• 11:31
  Speaker 9: Every time we try to do something one way, they
• 11:34
  Speaker 9: say we're not going to follow it.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: And I think the only way to stop this right
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: now is to impeach Peter Hexeth.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Massey has crossed the Trump administration before, pairing with California
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Democrat Congressman Ro Khanna to release the Epstein files. China
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: may be trying to keep its citizens close to home
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: with a new set of border rules.
• 11:55
  Speaker 12: These rules could ban citizens from leaving the country if
• 11:59
  Speaker 12: they engage in illegal activities threatening national or industrial security.
• 12:03
  Speaker 12: The rules that took effect yesterday reflect concerns about technology
• 12:07
  Speaker 12: exports at a time of competition with the U.S. in
• 12:10
  Speaker 12: areas like artificial intelligence. Citizens involved in overseas criminal activities
• 12:15
  Speaker 12: could face travel bans for up to three years. The
• 12:18
  Speaker 12: rules also aim to prevent citizens from being deceived into
• 12:21
  Speaker 12: illegal activities abroad.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Debra Mark, KFI News. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's kids
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: are apparently switching schools because of security concerns. Seven-year-old Prince
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Archie and five-year-old Princess Lilibet have only been enrolled in
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the school for a few days. They were enrolled after
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the family moved back to the UK from California last month.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Reports say the switch comes following a discussion with the
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: family's security team. This comes as the couple awaits a
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: decision on their request for publicly funded security protection. A
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: statement from King Charles last week had said that Harry
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: and Meghan would need to deal with local authorities for
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: their security. And actress Sydney Sweeney's new ad is a
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: foul ball for some.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: Sweeney's latest ad has her naughty bits covered by sports equipment,
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: including a hockey stick, a basketball hoop and lots of
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: balls for a sports betting app she owns part of.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: The CEO says Sweeney was the one behind the ad.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: She's lost a couple hundred thousand followers on her social
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: media since the ad's release, and real female athletes have responded.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: Gymnast Gracie Kramer posted a competition video saying, I don't
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: know what Sydney Sweeney was doing, but this is what
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: a woman in sports looks like. The actress has also
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: sold soap mixed with her bathwater, and critics for her
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: blue jeans ad last year said it glorified white genetics.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: Michael Krosier, KFI News.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Her naughty bits. Krosier, you're so funny. Three people have
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: been killed in the crash of an NBC4 news chopper
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: that was covering a deadly bus crash in Chatsworth. LA
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Fire says the helicopter went down between two commercial buildings
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: and burst into flames last night. The fire spread to
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: a couple containers and cars. The pilot of the helicopter
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: and reporter Eliana Moreno were killed, along with a person
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: on the loading dock. Survivors of last year's Palisades and
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Eaton fires are celebrating after Governor Newsom signed a series
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: of bills during a visit to Altadena. The bills will
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: create what are being called pioneering standards for testing and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: remediating hazardous wildfire smoke. They'll give homeowners a break on
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: mortgage payments and require insurance companies to keep paying for
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: living expenses while smoke damage is cleaned up. Southern California's
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: newest roller coaster officially opens today when Universal Studios Hollywood
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: launches Fast and Furious Hollywood Drift. The opening comes weeks
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: after complaints from Toluca Lake neighbors about nonstop screaming coming
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: from the riders during the soft opening. That prompted the
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: park to add some more sound barriers. The outdoor coaster,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: based on the popular film franchise, reaches speeds up to
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: 72 miles per hour. At 6.05, it's Handle on the News.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: The price of the war with Iran is huge. Bill's
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: going to tell you how big. Let's say good morning
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: now to the host of Rich on Tech on KFI
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: every Saturday from 11 to 2 p.m. It's KTLA's tech reporter,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro. Rich, you're one of the few, the lucky,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the ones that have had their hands on the new
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Apple foldable phone.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Yes, the iPhone Duo. This is their first foldable phone,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: and I've been covering foldable phones for at least seven
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: years now. 2019 was the first time that I used
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: the Samsung device, and they've come a long way for sure,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: but Apple has addressed A lot of the issues we've
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: seen with other foldables, notably the software and hardware, like
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: how do you take advantage of this nice big canvas
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: on the inside, but also this strange, oddly shaped screen
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: on the outside. And I think Apple has done a
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: good job of adapting iOS to that. So that's number one.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Apps look a whole lot better because developers are on
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: board and saying, oh yeah, we think this might actually
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: have something to it. So let's make Netflix look good.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Let's make all the other apps that are available on
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: iPhone look good. So it's a small screen on the outside,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: looks like a passport, opens up to a nice big
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: screen on the inside, 7.6 inches to be exact, kind
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: of like a little iPad mini. You can run two
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: apps side by side, drag and drop between apps. This
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: will be available on October 23rd. I think it's going
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: to sell out, but it's expensive, $ 2, 000, so not everyone
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: is going to be on board with that price tag. Yeah, although....
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about that, and yes, I think it's
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: stupid expensive, but like the iPhone 15, 17, those are
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: like $ 1, 300, $ 1, 400, $ 1, 500 anyway, right?
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. So, I mean, and I'm not justifying the
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: high price. It is expensive. But if you add up
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: the price of an iPhone Pro plus an iPad, you're
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: looking at close to $ 2, 000. The problem is you are
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: not getting either of those two devices in this new device.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: The cameras on the Duo are not as good as
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: the Pro cameras. And the functionality of the iPad, the
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: screen is just not as big. So, you know, you
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: are making some concessions here. But I think for someone
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: who travels a lot or someone who wants the latest
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: greatest or someone who just uses their phone for everything,
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: you know, their laptop, their phone, their tablet, this is
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: a pretty cool option to have.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Okay. And is Apple doing the same thing that they're
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: doing with the phones now, basically having you lease them? Yes.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: The lease on this, you don't have to, you can
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: buy it, but the lease, honestly, and I'm not a leaser,
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: but I will tell you, it almost like doesn't make
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: sense to not lease it because it's the same exact price.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: So if you pay for this thing over 24 months
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: at the lease price, and then you decide to buy
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: it outright, there's literally no difference in the price you've
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: paid over those that for that device, like they're not
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: charging you any extra for the lease.
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: And the lease is $ 58 a month for 24 months.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Let's say you did that, and then you say, oh,
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: I want to buy this thing. It would just be
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: $ 2, 000 minus whatever you paid, and that's the balance. So
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: I hate to say it's a win-win, but it kind
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: of is.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Okay. Always looking for price wins, and you're hopefully going
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: to get some because Amazon has another Prime Day coming.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Used to be once or twice a year, and now
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: it seems like it's every quarter.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Yes, it does. But I think it's still twice a year,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: but it does seem like it's all the time. I mean,
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: I think the last one was in July.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: So now we're October.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: And then is there going to be one before Christmas?
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: We don't know yet.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: I think, you know, I don't know. Like this. Yeah,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: because this seems very early.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Like I'm not ready to get all my gifts. But
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: October 6th and 7th. Mark your calendar. Uh, 48 hours.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: And this is of course for prime members only. And
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: they're going to have, you know, as they always say,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: millions of deals. So my advice always is to put
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: the stuff you want in your cart. Now, if you
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: don't exactly need it, wait for a price drop. Um,
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: keep in mind, there's a couple of deals you can
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: get right now. Audible. You can get, um, a couple months.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: I think it's like four months for 99 cents right now,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: which is pretty good. Amazon music. You can get four
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: months completely free grub hub. You can get $ 20 off
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: a $ 30 purchase. Again, you have to have a Prime membership.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Prime membership has held steady at $ 139. I am just
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: waiting for the day when they raise that price because
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: it's been a while.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know. It seems like everything else is
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: going up, like streaming is going up, which reminds me
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: to ask you about a lot of times for, I
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: think it's for Prime, don't they do these special streaming deals?
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Or is that just directly through the companies?
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I think the best way to subscribe to
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: any streaming service is during a deal. So Prime, typically
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: during Prime days, they will have streaming services on sale.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: The caveat is that I think you have to access
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: them through the Prime app, which is fine. But yes,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: I think the best way to get streaming services at
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: this point is sadly to bundle them with other services.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: services because that's where you make the money. Your credit
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: card also sometimes like I have one card I got
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: that has a discount on Apple One. It's like $ 11
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: a month off, which, you know, I'll take it because
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: I'm paying like 40 bucks a month to Apple for whatever,
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: you know, Apple TV Plus and all this other stuff
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: that they offer. So, you know, every dime we can
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: save is a good thing.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Okay. And I always like to call attention to
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: scams because it seems like they're happening more and more often.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: And this scam tricks you into hacking yourself.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh. This is called the ClickFix scam. It's
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: not new, but it's happening apparently a lot more. And basically,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: I did a video about this on my Instagram, at
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Rich on Tech. A woman fell victim to it, but basically...
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: When you're going to do that CAPTCHA, you know, where
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: it says, like, move the puzzle piece into the, you know,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: alignment or, you know, is this you? Are you a robot?
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: You know, those are called a CAPTCHA. So these pop up.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: They look like that, but they say, hey, will you
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: press the Windows plus R button on your computer and
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: type in this code to make sure you're human? Well,
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: when you type in that code, you're actually downloading malware
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: to your system that ends up taking it over. And
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: this can happen on Windows and on Mac. And the
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: main rule to remember is, is a website should never
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: tell you to run any sort of command. That's the
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: main thing. Like, yes, you can click to say, are
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: you human? You know, you can move little puzzle pieces around.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: You can identify all the walruses in the picture, but
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: do not run a command on your computer. If it
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: asks you to do any sort of keystrokes, that is
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: a scam.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Okay. The host of Rich on Tech on KFI, Saturday
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: from 11 to 2, where you can get these tips
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: and a whole lot more. Plus, you can watch him
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: On KTLA, he's the tech reporter, Rich DeMuro. Follow him
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: at Rich on Tech. And if you want to find
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: out more about everything that he talks about, go to richontech.tv.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: His website has it all. Thank you so much, Rich.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Thanks, Amy. I hope you get to go on Fast
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: and Furious if you haven't already.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Have you?
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: No, but a lot of people did yesterday. So you're
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: always out and about every day. So I figure you're
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: probably heading there after the show.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I got to get there. 72, that's really fast. I
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, we'll see. That's fast. I'm curious.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Take care, Rich. A new report says L.A. County did
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: not have the necessary plans or processes in place to
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: begin recovery after the deadly Eaton and Palisades fires.
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: The report was ordered by the County Board of Supervisors
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: and carried out by a consulting firm. It also says
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: several recommendations made after the 2018 Woolsey fire had never
• 22:24
  Speaker 9: been addressed. While the report praises the work of county
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: emergency workers, it urges the county to update and formalize plans, systems,
• 22:32
  Speaker 9: and leadership. Mark Mayfield, KFI News.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: L.A.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: City Attorney has sued fire truck manufacturers and dealers over
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: an alleged multi-year scheme to fix prices and reduce competition
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: in the industry. Heidi Feldstein Soto says the Fire Apparatus
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Manufacturers Association and certain dealers colluded to rig bids. The
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: suit claims that sometimes resulted in longer delivery times for
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: fire departments that jeopardized public safety. The defendants did not
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: immediately comment on the lawsuit. When it comes to tipping,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Californians like to keep their cash. ABC's Jim Ryan says
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: a company that handles restaurant payments has found that the
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: most generous tippers are in the Ohio River Valley.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: The company called Toast has found that people dining out
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia all tip, on average,
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: more than 20%. The stingiest tippers are in California and
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: Washington State.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Toast says gratuities average a little more than 17% in California.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's stingy. I still think that's a
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: decent tip.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I'm happy to pay... More if it's really great service,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: but the suggested 18% to start right now just ticks
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: me off.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: And the word expected.
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: Like it's expected.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Uh-huh.
• 23:52
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Three people have been killed in a news chopper crash
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: in Chatsworth. The NBC4 Telemundo helicopter operated by Angel City
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Air went down just before 7 last night between two
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: commercial buildings. Reporter Eliana Moreno and pilot George Marcineau were killed.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Another person on the ground was also killed. 42 kilos
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: of fentanyl and a small alligator have been seized from
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: a luxury apartment in L.A. The Department of Justice also
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: recovered an AR-15 with ammo, a pistol and a police radio.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: A 26 and 27 year old man and woman were
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: arrested and charged with possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: The alligator is being cared for by the U.S. Fish
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: and Wildlife Service. The pair faces life in prison if
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: they're convicted. An interest rate hike could be just around
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: the corner. Analysts are projecting the central bank is going
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: to hike rates by a quarter percentage point when the
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Fed wraps up meetings today. It comes as new data
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: shows inflation is still well above the Fed's target of 2%.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Your official home for Dodger baseball is AM570 LA Sports.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: This afternoon, your back-to-back world champion Dodgers take on the
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Reds in Cincinnati. First pitch goes out at 340. Brought
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: to you by Nikaido Shouju. The official shochu of the L.A.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Dodgers.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Discover Nick Aido. Discover shochu. I don't know what shochu is.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: No one seems to know.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have to Google it.
• 25:21
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: So on September 25th and 26th, Neil Saavedra and I
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: will be rappelling 26 stories down the side of the
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Universal City Hilton. And to do it, we need to
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: raise money for Union Rescue Mission. It's called Over the Edge,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: and we would love for you to participate and help
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: us raise money to help get people off the streets.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Union Rescue Mission is an organization we believe in. They
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: actually fight homelessness, get people off the street, get them sober,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: get them housing while they get counseling, while they get
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: job training, while they learn new skills. And then eventually...
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: become housed again, it really gives people a second chance
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and it gives them a hand up, not just a handout.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: And that's why we're doing it. That's why we support
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Union Rescue Mission. And we would love it if you
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: would support us in our efforts to go over the edge.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Any donation you can make is much appreciated. You can
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: donate at URM.org slash OTE. There's a Team KFI button
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: right on the homepage there. And if you click on that,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: you can make your donation. And again, If it's $ 500,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: that's amazing. If it's $ 5, that's amazing. Every dollar counts.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: 87 cents of every dollar goes directly to the programs
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: that help people get off the streets. Again, it's September
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: 25th and 26th. I think I'm going over on Friday.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: I believe Neil is going over on Friday too. And
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: if you want to join us and go over the edge,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: you just need to raise a thousand dollars. Easy, right?
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: You can do that. Get 10 friends together, a hundred
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: bucks each. And there you go. It's a bucket list thing.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: It's terrifying, but it's also exhilarating. Join us going over
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: the edge, if you will. OK, time to get in
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: your business now with Bloomberg's Matt Piper. Matt, we got
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: retail sales numbers out and they're looking better than expected.
• 27:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they are, actually.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: You know, I have to bring them up here. Hang
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: on one second. So they rose in August by more
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: than expected in this broad advance that highlights resilient consumer spending.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: That's a good thing.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: The value increased 1.2 percent after a revised 0.5 percent
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: decline in July. That's according to the Census Bureau data
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: that was just released. The median estimate in a Bloomberg
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: survey of economists called for a 0.8 advance. So, again,
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: it was 1.2 percent increase.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: So even though there's some scary signals out there, people
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: are still spending money.
• 27:51
  Speaker 10: OK.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they have to really get things like gas and things.
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 27:55
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Right. We're also waiting for word from the Fed today.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: They're holding their meetings. What are we expecting?
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: So stock futures are actually rising as investors await the
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: Federal Reserve decision on interest rates with, yes, high expectations
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: of a hike. The potential hike will be the first
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: in three years as inflation remains elevated in the U.S.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: and above the Fed's target. Now, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh,
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: economists say, has largely boxed himself into a rate hike.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: after delivering a high-profile speech last month, warning that inflation
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: remains well above the Fed's 2% target. So that does
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: happen this afternoon, and it will certainly move markets if
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: and when it does, whatever their decision is.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, and generally, if the Fed increases the interest rate,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: is that good or bad? Because you're saying the futures
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: are up now.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, futures are up now because I guess
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: that they're just, you know, waiting on what may happen.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, they're not up anything huge.
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: But chances are, you know, If this does happen, it
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: will move move markets. I mean, people probably won't be
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: too happy, although it is expected. So it's hard to say.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: And we will know a little bit later today. Also,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: the Emmys were Monday night. And what do you got
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: on that?
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so actually they're in talks to move to Amazon
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: Prime Video under a new licensing deal that would potentially
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: end the ceremony's broadcast era after nearly eight decades. So,
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: you know, they're traditionally on channels like NBC. Now they
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: might actually move to streaming. And Monday Night Show was
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: on NBC. It drew 6.7 million viewers. That's about a 12%
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: decline from the previous year's broadcast on CBS.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, remember when those shows used to get huge ratings
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: and just recently not so much.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: But huge back back in the friends era.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Yes. With must see TV Bloomberg's Matt Piper getting in
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: your business. We do it each weekday morning at this time.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much. We'll talk to you soon.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: See ya.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Three people have been killed in the crash of an
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: NBC4 news chopper that was covering the A deadly bus
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: crash in Chatsworth. LA Fire says the helicopter went down
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: between two commercial buildings and burst into flames. The fire
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: spread to a couple containers and cars. The pilot of
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: the helicopter and reporter Eliana Moreno were killed, along with
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: a person on the loading dock. LA Mayor Bass has
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: again declined to appear at a U.S. House subcommittee meeting
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: on alleged waste and abuse of federal funding. for the
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: troubled Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. Bass called the proceedings
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: a politically motivated hearing to attack L.A. As the hearing
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: got underway, Mayor Bass was at a groundbreaking in Pacific Palisades,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: a rec center, a park, and other areas are being
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: rebuilt in a $ 50 million project funded entirely by private donations.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Bass was joined at the groundbreaking by developer Rick Caruso,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: who she ran against for mayor in 2022. We're just
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: minutes away from a handle on the news this morning.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Lawmakers are overwhelmingly supporting a bill that would guarantee you're
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: going to be able to keep KFI on in your car.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I like that bill.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Amy's on it.
• 31:05
  Speaker 11: Amy's on it.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Amy's on it.
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: Amy's on it.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: What am I on? I'm on the stream because there
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: are movies and TV shows and documentaries. There's so much
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: to see. How do you know what to watch? Well,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: as we all did on Friday, we remembered the 25th
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: anniversary of September 11th. And I.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: As I talked about and we were talking about on
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Wake Up Call that day, I mean, it's just amazing
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: how that day is just seared into our memories. And
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: so I was looking around. I went and I watched
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: A Tribute to Light with our friend John Andrasik, sang
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: his song Superman. And then, you know, after a show
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: stops or ends, it suggests something else. And I was
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: still in the mood to watch that. more things about 9-11,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: because I think it's so, so important that we remember
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: how horrible that day was. And what came up next
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: was a show called 9-11, One Day in September. It's
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: a National Geographic documentary. You can find it on Hulu.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: It is a heartbreaking, in-depth look at what happened on 9-11,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: starting even before the first plane hit the North Tower
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: of the World Trade Center. That was at 8.46 a.m.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: September 11th, 2001. And among all of the tragedy were
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: these stories of resilience and of desperation and survival. And
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: it was just gripping. It tells the story of the
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: first responders that we've heard so many times, but it
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: goes deeper than that. And there are stories and recollections
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: of things that I hadn't heard of before, which is
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: amazing because I was so invested being in news and
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: as we all were, but because I was just like
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: immersed in it, I thought I'd kind of heard all
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: the stories and there were so many more. This has
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: personal stories. It's got their motivation, their reservations, their feelings,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: their emotions, their heartbreak, their hope during this awful, awful event.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: There's one story of a man buried in the rubble
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: 50 feet down So he's trapped down there. He's running
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: out of time. He's running out of air. The pile
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: is smoldering. One guy who was able to get out
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: of this little cramped space where he was just left him,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: walked away. But thankfully, there was a guy who was
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: a Marine, put on his uniform and went down to
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: the pile. He wasn't ordered to go there. He just
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: went there. And he was one of the people who
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: found him. There was another guy who was a paramedic.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: who wasn't going to go there. He had no desire
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: to go down to the pile, but he did anyway.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: And the show tells you why. And then helped rescue
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: this man. So, I mean, it was just amazing, everything.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: And it was so heartbreaking, but also so heartwarming as
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: you see these little stories of survival. And there were
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: like about 19,000 people in the World Trade Center that day.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: 16,000 got out, which is amazing. But then once the
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: towers collapsed, 20 were rescued.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: 20.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: And it tells many of those stories. In all of
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: this devastation, it's a really beautiful story and it's told
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: so well and it's so important to see because a
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: third of the people in the U.S. do not have
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: a memory of 9-11. They're too young. They need to
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: see this and you need to see this. Amy's on it.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: You need to be on it too. Highly recommended. It's
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: called One Day in September. National Geographic is the one
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: who put it together, and you can see it on Hulu. Okay,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: so that was a devastating day. This is a devastating
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: day in Los Angeles for a lot of people in
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: the news business because of that helicopter crash that we've
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: been telling you about all morning. And our very own
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Will Kohlschreiber, as you know, he used to fly in
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: the KFI plane. Before that, he was flying around in
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: a helicopter, and it just happens— that that helicopter was
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: the one you used to fly in, the one that
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: crashed yesterday in Chatsworth.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: For about five years, I was in that exact seat,
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: in the back seat, running the camera and doing exactly
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: what Eliana does. And it's just, you know, it's just
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: a very sad, tragic thing. Eliana was a very bright,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: young star, local Orange County girl, really passionate about news.
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: And I didn't know the pilot, but.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: From what I understand, extremely experienced.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: So not a good day.
• 35:43
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: So what happened was there was a bus crash.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: And so all of the TV stations are doing what
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: they do. We've all seen them. They hover around the
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: site of wherever something is happening to feed the pictures
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: back and sometimes commentary as well back to the stations
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: because they have literally a bird's eye view of what's
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: going on. So do we know what happened?
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Not precisely. That'll come out, you know, with the investigation.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: But when you see a helicopter hovering, not like an
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: LAPD helicopter doing its orbit, but when it's just hovering,
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: that is its most vulnerable mode.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Why is that?
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Because it takes a lot of energy to just stay there.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: It takes a lot less energy to be moving forward.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: But for the TV pictures, it's more ideal for it
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: to hover.
• 36:31
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: So when anything goes wrong and it's in a dead hover,
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: it has to, the pilot has to react, just lickety
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: split to get some forward motion if there's any chance
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: of saving the helicopter. And it just, this thing just
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: happened so fast. There's video online, unfortunately. You can hear them,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: you can hear her asking, can't you pull up? Can't
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: you pull up? And it's, there's just was almost no time.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: And from you watching the videos, and I'm sorry that
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: you Had to watch this because it's, you know, with
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: the immediacy of all of the video and everything that's
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: out there. Do you have any idea of what might
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: have happened?
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Well, it sounded like an alarm that goes off if
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: the engine is speeding too quickly. It's called an overspeed alarm.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: It's a car horn, basically, that's in the inside. It
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: goes beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. And then it sounds
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: like the power went way down. And you could see
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: because they were linked in on video to the station
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: that So you could see what the camera saw. And
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: that was that at that point, the thing just started
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: falling straight down like a rock. And there's no recovery, unfortunately.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, I'm I'm sorry for your loss. I know, Eliana,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: I was a friend of yours. A tough day. Yeah,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: a tough day. And, you know, we were talking about like,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: are these helicopters necessary? Do they need to be in
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: the sky? Is there another way to do it? Could
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: you do it with drones, you know? And maybe that
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: will evolve into drones because then people wouldn't be involved.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it will eventually because, you know, drones
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: are doing a lot. And, yeah, I think that's a
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: matter of time.
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Okay. Well, Cole Schreiber, thank you for your information and
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: your insight into that horrible tragedy. All right, let's get
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: back to some of the stories coming out of the
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: KFI 24-Hour Newsroom. A judge in L.A. has ruled that
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: a former podcaster— charged with making threats against President Trump,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: can be released on bail as he awaits trial. But
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: he's not getting out right away. The case has been
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: sent back to the judge who ruled to keep Benjamin
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Southworth locked up to set the bond amount. A federal
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: grand jury indictment issued this month charges Southworth with threats
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: against the president, cyber-stalking, and making harassing phone calls in
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: interstate communications. Police in Irvine are looking for more people
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: who may have been scammed by a cable installer who
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: allegedly duped a customer. into handing over her cell phone
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: and then sent an explicit video that she had recorded
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: of herself to his own phone. The 37-year-old man was
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: working for a subcontractor for G-Fiber last month. He allegedly
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: told the woman he needed her phone to test the
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Wi-Fi signal and then disappeared for like 15 minutes. He
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: has been arrested. The Kennedy Center board has voted to
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: close the center's main building after a judge blocked the
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: board from putting President Trump's name back on the venue.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: ABC's Stephen Portnoy says the judge issued that ruling yesterday,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: saying it would violate an earlier ruling that Trump's name
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: was illegally added to the building.
• 39:29
  Speaker 10: The president reiterated it on social media yesterday. He said
• 39:32
  Speaker 10: in his post, the closing will take place immediately. However,
• 39:36
  Speaker 10: the renovation and reconstruction, which is a very large and
• 39:38
  Speaker 10: complex job, cannot begin until such time as the D.C. Circuit,
• 39:42
  Speaker 10: that's the appellate court, rules on the board's approved name.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Trump said if the ruling is a negative one, the
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: renovation won't happen. And a couple cities in California not
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: so much into deep thinking.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: Riverside has been ranked the least intellectual city in the
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: United States. The study from Maxwell Social looked at seven
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: categories for the 50 most populous cities, including museums, adult education, bookstores,
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: and searches for intellectual activities. Riverside's most glaring problems are
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: a lack of museums, bookstores, and adult education per capita.
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: Fresno came in as the second least intellectual city. The
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose, Santa Clara areas ranked
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: in the other direction as the third and sixth respectively
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: for most intellectual.
• 40:24
