  Speaker 1: a little different because it's the anniversary of the worst
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: day of my lifetime. And we move on, but it's
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: important on this day And every day to never forget.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: So we're going to get you up to date with
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: what happened overnight so you know what's going on in
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the world today. But we're also going to spend some
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: time remembering the horrific day 25 years ago. Like you,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I remember exactly where I was when we got the
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: first word that a plane had hit the World Trade Center.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I was working at a country music station, KUPL in Portland.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Normal day, preparing my 6 a.m. newscast, and the flash
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: came across the Associated Press about a plane into the
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: World Trade Center. We thought it was a small plane
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: at first. We thought it was an accident. And we're
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: scrambling to get information as we do as news is breaking.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: And my morning show partner, Lee Rogers, said... I think
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: it's a terrorist attack. And I said, oh, Lee, come on.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: We don't know that. Let's not jump to any conclusions
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: until we get more information. And I did my 6
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: o'clock newscast. And then the second plane hit. The first
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: hijacked plane to strike was American Airlines Flight 11. It
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center at
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: 8.46 a.m. Eastern Time, 5.46 on the West Coast. The
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: second plane was United Airlines Flight 175 hit the south
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: tower of the World Trade Center. That happened at 9.03 a.m.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Eastern Daylight Time, 6.03 here on the West Coast. And
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of course, like you, we were in shock. And I'm
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: scrambling to find out what happened. And we watched our
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: TVs in horror and we Saw the two towers on
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: fire with these gaping holes in the side and we're
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: just like going, what is going on? A half hour later,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: American Airlines Flight 77 hit the Pentagon. We watched the towers.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: We tried to get information out as quickly and accurately
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: as we could. And then the unthinkable happened. Under the
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: background of a clear blue sky, the South Tower collapsed.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: It fell 56 minutes after it was hit at 659
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: hour time. And then United Flight 93 crashed into a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 703 hour time. And a
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: half hour later, as we watched the North Tower collapse,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: we were just in shock. That happened at 7.28 a.m.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: our time, 102 minutes after it was struck. And then
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: everything came to a halt. And there were more than
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: 4,500 planes in the sky. And the FAA said, land now.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Our world had changed. Our lives changed forever. I was
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: on the air almost 12 hours that day, trying to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: get the information out, trying to be Kind of the
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: voice of reason in a time of confusion and pain
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and shock and loss. And today we're going to look
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: back and we're going to look forward. We're going to
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: hear from ABC's Sherry Preston. She was in New York.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: She was actually in Hoboken, New Jersey, watching the events
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: unfold from the roof of her apartment building in New Jersey.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: We're going to hear from Southern California residents who were
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: there in New York City on that day. Amazing stories
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: of survival and, of course, of loss. And we're going
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: to be talking with our friend, Grammy Award-winning artist, Southern
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: California's own John Andrasik of Five for Fighting, who is
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: in New York City right now. And tonight he's going
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to be performing at Ground Zero for 9-11, A Tribute
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: to Light. And I think it's a show that I'm
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: not going to miss, and I hope you're not going
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: to miss, because I think it's so important that we
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: continue to remember this day. It's not a fun day.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: It's not a happy day. It changed so many things
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: in our lives. I mean, think of... We didn't have
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security. We didn't have TSA. We
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: had a sense of security that was shattered that morning.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: And it's so bizarre, too, because it's so impactful. And obviously,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: when I talk about it, I still get emotional. 25
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: years later. And then we've been telling you all this
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: this week that about a third of the population of
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the United States has no memory of this.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Isn't that crazy?
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: They weren't born yet or they were too young to remember.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: So we're going to help you remember today. It's important.
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Time to say good morning to ABC's Sherry Preston. Sherry,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: at 8.24 a.m. Eastern Time, that's 5.24 here on the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: West Coast, 25 years ago today, 22 minutes before the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: first plane hit the North Tower, air traffic control got
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: a rather ominous message.
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: It did.
• 5:26
  Speaker 8: It said we have some planes. And it wasn't supposed
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: to have been broadcast then. And It came through, and
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: it turned out it was from American Airlines Flight 11
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: that had taken off from Boston and was headed to
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: Los Angeles and then turned around. And, you know, I mean,
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: I just think as we mark this day, there's so
• 5:48
  Speaker 8: many reminders of where we are. You know, right now,
• 5:51
  Speaker 8: you know, you look at looking at Lower Manhattan and
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: the beautiful memorial that's now been built there. in honor
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: of the 9-11 victims. But there's something about the 25th
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: year that really brings this home and brings a lot
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: of memories back for a whole lot of people. I
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: had just started working at ABC News six months before this.
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: I keep saying three months because I had a three-month-old
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: baby at the time. I started when I was pregnant.
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: So I had a three-month-old baby at home, and I
• 6:20
  Speaker 8: was working the overnight shift and thought that, you know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: I'm just going to go home and spend the morning
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: with my baby. This will be great. And we turned
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: on the television and suddenly this was happening. And so
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: we put the baby in the car seat and climbed
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: up to the roof of our apartment building in Hoboken
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: across the water. And I just came across a picture
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: of it now that we took. And it was, you know,
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: we watched the buildings fall from the roof of that,
• 6:45
  Speaker 8: from that apartment building. And it was a stunning day and,
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: you know, worked then tirelessly trying to get back into
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: the city after all that had happened. But, you know,
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: when you think back at what has happened since then,
• 6:58
  Speaker 8: the number of people who've passed away from 9-11 related illnesses,
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: three times as many as who died that day. There's
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: actually going to be an extra moment of silence today
• 7:08
  Speaker 8: at Ground Zero. And at the memorial for those who
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: have died of 9-11 related illnesses, there's 9,000 people who
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: have died of that. There's also 1,100 people who have
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: not been identified yet. I mean, the chief medical examiner's
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: office here in New York is working tirelessly to try
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: to identify for those families, those 1,100 families who never
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: have had any kind of, you know, their bodies have
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: not been brought home. They've not been identified yet. So
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: it's just even though it's one of those things that
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: we all remember back and time can heal a lot
• 7:42
  Speaker 8: of wounds, it's really meaningful today, 25 years.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Well, and I think it's important to look back and
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: remember everything that happened and learn new things that happened.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I know my friend and I were talking and she said,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't know about the boats. And I said, oh, yeah,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: because after everything started happening, the bridges were closed.
• 8:05
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: And so people couldn't get off. Manhattan's an island. You
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: couldn't get off the island.
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: The largest maritime evacuation since World War II. And the boats,
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: they volunteered. I mean, if you ever come to New York,
• 8:17
  Speaker 8: the Circle Line, New York Waterways, those boats just volunteered.
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: And they took people who wanted to get out of
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: the city and go back to New Jersey, go back to,
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: you know, where they lived and in other parts of
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: of the tri-state area. And those boats then turned around
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: and took people who needed to get back into the city.
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: Maybe their families were there and they worked in Jersey,
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: reverse commuters as well. That was another one of the
• 8:45
  Speaker 8: amazing stories of that day. And just so many stories
• 8:50
  Speaker 8: of heroism that... haven't been told, that just people helping
• 8:56
  Speaker 8: other people who were in need. There's a really great,
• 9:00
  Speaker 8: if you go to abcnews.com on our digital site, there
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: is a really great montage of photos of what the
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: city looked like on this day 25 years ago after
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: those towers fell and what it looks like now. And
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: it's a real testament to the resiliency of the city
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: and the rebuilding and what happened But you also see
• 9:21
  Speaker 8: visions of people really helping other people and trying to
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: do what they could on that day because nobody knew
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: what was happening.
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: Nobody.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:31
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: And I think that everybody's reaction to 9-11 was so inspiring.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, we talked to the Fullerton fire chief yesterday.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: He's obviously here in Southern California. And he said he
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: had just become a firefighter. He didn't even have a
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: real job. And he got on a bus because... trains
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: were shut down and airlines were shut down. He got
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: on a bus and went to New York City and
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: worked on the pile for like two weeks. Just went there.
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: And that's incredible. And there's lots of stories like that.
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: But to get on a bus and to feel that
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: sense of wanting to help other people, it's one of
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: the things that a lot of people will say, like,
• 10:12
  Speaker 8: what was it like on September 12th? And September 12th,
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: in addition to.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: The sadness, there was a unity.
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: There really was a unity that I think that we
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: have been missing in this country for quite some time.
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: And just that feeling of selflessness. President George W. Bush,
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: who was president at the time, of course, he said
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: just the other night at an event that he's sad
• 10:37
  Speaker 8: to hear that a third of the country is not
• 10:39
  Speaker 8: old enough to remember or wasn't born yet. when 9-11 happened,
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: because not only do they not remember what happened, but
• 10:45
  Speaker 8: they don't remember the sense of wanting to help after that.
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: And people who are enlisting in the army and people
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: who are like the, you know, like the fire chief
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: getting on as a young rookie, getting on a bus,
• 10:56
  Speaker 8: going cross country from Southern California.
• 10:58
  Speaker 10: To New York.
• 10:58
  Speaker 8: That's a long bus trip. But yeah, you know, it
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: really is something else.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: And, you know, and you had a front row seat
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: to the horror of that day. And I'm sure that
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: you Think about it all the time, not just on
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: this day. And so thank you for joining us and sharing,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: you know, your perspective on what we had to experience
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: 25 years ago today.
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: Well, thank you, Amy.
• 11:23
  Speaker 11: Have a good day.
• 11:24
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: You take care, Sherry. Let's get back to some of
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the stories now coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Laguna Beach has declared a local emergency because of coastal
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: erosion and sand loss caused by the pounding surf and
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the threat of more damage that A strong El Nino
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: is going to bring if it comes to fruition as
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: it is in the forecast. The proclamation allows the city
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: to immediately activate emergency shoreline protection, sand placement, debris removal,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: assessments and repairs without the delay of other ordinary contracting procedures.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Lineage Logistics is suing the owner of the solar panels
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: on the roof that burned the warehouse in Boyle Heights.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Lineage claims in L.A. Superior Court that Altus Power, Inc.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: and its contractor, Pierce Services, were responsible for starting the
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: June 17th fire that led to a nearly two-month cleanup,
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: noxious odors, rodents, and insects in the community, prompting multiple
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: fines against Lineage. The suit alleges negligence, negligent supervision, health
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: and safety code violations, and breach of contract. In a statement,
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Lineage president and CEO Greg Lemkuhl said Altus and Pierce
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: started the fire, then were nowhere to be found when
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: the community needed help. An Altus rep issued a statement
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: that Lineage is just trying to deflect attention from its
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: own culpability. Mark Rauner, KFI News.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: The lawyer for Lindsey Clancy, who killed her three young
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: kids in Massachusetts, is renewing his push to have a
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: court find her not guilty by reason of insanity. ABC's
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Peter Haralambu says the attorney claims prosecutors did not present
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: enough evidence to prove Clancy is criminally responsible.
• 12:56
  Speaker 11: Defense attorney Kevin Reddington asked the judge to reach a
• 12:58
  Speaker 11: required finding of not guilty by reason of lack of
• 13:00
  Speaker 11: criminal responsibility, arguing that Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis.
• 13:05
  Speaker 11: Clancy's due to return to court on September 29th when
• 13:08
  Speaker 11: the judge could hear arguments about the motion.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: A deadlocked jury led to a mistrial last week. President
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Trump and Vice President Vance have closed out the second
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: and final night of the Republicans' midterm convention in Dallas.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: ABC's Jay O'Brien says they urged the crowd to vote
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: in November and keep the party's majorities in Congress.
• 13:25
  Speaker 12: The goal of Republicans here was to have the president
• 13:28
  Speaker 12: step out on national television and say that he is
• 13:31
  Speaker 12: on the ballot and try to treat this as much
• 13:33
  Speaker 12: as they can as a general election kind of campaign.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Trump says every president usually loses in the midterms, but
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: that that has to change. The president's denying reports that
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Iranian forces damaged U.S. warplanes in a raid on an
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: airbase in Jordan. ABC's Martha Raddatz reports it happened earlier
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: this week.
• 13:54
  Speaker 13: The recent barrage of Iranian strikes targeting U.S. bases in
• 13:58
  Speaker 13: the Middle East left nine U.S. warplanes damaged at a
• 14:02
  Speaker 13: base in Jordan, including an A-10 attack aircraft.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: She says that plane lost a wing. Iranian forces reportedly
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: launched ballistic missiles toward the airbase in response to the U.S.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: military destroying five Iranian oil tankers. That $ 5, 000 dividend that
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: President Trump has promised if Republicans win the midterms is bad.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Easier said than done.
• 14:26
  Speaker 13: $ 5, 000.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: President Trump's promise of five grand to every adult citizen
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: in the U.S. has multiple hurdles. The total cost would
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: be around $ 1. 3 trillion, which would add to the already
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: $ 40 trillion debt. It would also likely increase inflation or
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: consumer prices as it did for the COVID relief checks.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: Vice President Vance suggested the money could come from Trump's
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: tariff revenue, but that's only around $ 167 billion. Finally, similar
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: promises from Trump have not come to pass, including $ 2, 000
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: dividends from tariffs and a $ 5, 000 Doge dividend from a
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: year ago. Michael Krosier, KFI News.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Remembrances of the 25th anniversary of 9-11 are being held
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: around the Southland, including in Fullerton, at a home where
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: flags have been placed to represent all 2,977 people killed.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: On 9-11, a ceremony will be held starting at 8-30.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: The names of all of those killed will be read.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: And tonight, two beams of light will light up the
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: night sky behind the house to represent the Twin Towers.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: A 47-year-old man's been arrested along with two other defendants
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: accused of paying people on Skid Row to sign petitions
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: using stolen identities of registered voters. James Brass of Victorville
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: is charged along with a 33-year-old from Kern County and
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: a 49-year-old woman from Florida. The Laugh Factory Hollywood is
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: hosting its 46th annual High Holiday Services starting tomorrow. Services
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: are open to the public and will be live streamed
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: at no charge. The Rosh Hashanah morning service starts at
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: 11 and will be followed by a Kol Nidra service
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: at 6 p.m. on September 20th. Let's say good morning
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: now to award-winning, Grammy award-winning, no less, and platinum-selling artist,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Southern California's own John Andrasik of Five for Fighting. He
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: is in New York City for an event to commemorate
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the 25th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks. John, tell us
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: what's happening.
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: On the night of 9-11, I will be performing my
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: song Superman between the two light beams that shoot up
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: into the heavens here in New York City to recognize
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: the heroes of 9-11 and certainly remember those we lost.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: OK, I was going to be all tough about this.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: And then you say what you're doing and it immediately
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: just brings back emotions. it's hard to believe that it
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: was 25 years ago that this all happened and that
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: you're going to be there in the footprint of where
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: it happened at ground zero. It's just, it's gotta be
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: just humbling, overwhelming. I mean, what, how do you describe it?
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: It is very emotional.
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: I mean, last night I, I walked by the memorial and,
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: and the, the kind of footprints, as you said, of,
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: of the twin towers, uh, they're kind of gated because
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: they have the, um, the ceremony on 9-11 here, but
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: it does, you know, Amy, it does, it brings it back.
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: I'm not exactly sure how I'm gonna get through these songs,
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: but it's such a cliche, but it does seem like
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: just yesterday that this atrocity happened. But again, I think
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: hopefully it's a reminder of the lessons of 9-11, the
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: evil that attacked our shores, And I think it's an obligation.
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: You know, we talk about never forget and every September 11th,
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: we say never again.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: But, you know, never forget is more than a slogan.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: It's a duty.
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: It's an obligation to teach our kids about what happened
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: that day and also remind them and tell the stories
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: of those heroes who ran into the buildings when everybody
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: was running out, the heroes of Flight 93, those folks that, again,
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: I think showed what America is all about. So to me,
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: it's a lot of emotions, you know, anger, inspiration. But again,
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: it's also, I hope it brings us back to that moment.
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: Remember Amy, how the country came together in ways we'd
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: never seen before or since that week. And I hope
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: we have a little bit of that this week as well.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I do as well, John. So you're performing Superman.
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Which has become kind of an anthem for 9-11. And you,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I thought it was so interesting because you wrote the
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: song five months before 9-11.
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I was actually in London on 9-11 promoting Superman.
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: Superman was kind of on its way to becoming a
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: global hit. And I didn't realize until two weeks later
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: that it had become kind of a song to recognize
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: and provide solace, you know, for the families who'd lost
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: loved ones, for the country and obviously performing at the
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: concert for New York was the honor of a lifetime.
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: And still to this day, you know, every time we
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: kind of roll around to September and we get closer
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: and closer to 9-11 and I'm on tour, the song
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: gets heavier and it kind of brings us back. And,
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: but that's the nice thing about music. You know, it
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: kind of does a lot of things that nothing else
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: can do. And I think again, this 25th anniversary for
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: me personally, it'll be, you know, very emotional, but I
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: think it's a, It's a way that the country can
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: also remember and give love to those who are still suffering. And,
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: you know, Amy, since 9-11, we've lost about 10,000 people
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: to illnesses and diseases caused by 9-11. So unfortunately, the
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: toll continues to rise. And I think we need to
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: recognize that as well.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Now, you mentioned that you were just down at
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Ground Zero, kind of wandering around. Had you been there before?
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: I had not. You know, to be honest with you,
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: it's so emotional for me over the years.
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: And I wanted to make sure while I was here
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: that I spent some time. I'll be going to the
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: Memorial Museum tomorrow as well.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: The 9-11 Memorial is one.
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: Of the folks who are putting on this presentation, this
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: Two Lights special Friday night. So I want, my wife
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: and I are going to go, and again, I think
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: it's going to be very emotional, but I think, you know, you.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Have to see it. That's part of never forgetting, and
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: it's part of honoring those that were lost.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I haven't had the opportunity to go there.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I was there. I was in New York the last
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: time was like one year almost to the day before
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: 9-11 happened, but I haven't been back. And I was
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: wondering for a lot of people on the West Coast
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: that we haven't made that trip. What is it? What
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: does it feel like at Ground Zero?
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: You know, in a weird way, it's beautiful what they
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: have done with the museum and what they've done with
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: the footprint of the towers. It's it's incredibly beautiful, but
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: it's also incredibly sad and and infuriating that that that
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: that it happened. So, again, it's a confluence of emotions.
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: And I think all of them are legitimate.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: And how do you get through that? Because I know
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: that like there are times when I just get completely
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: choked up even talking about 9-11 and you've got to
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: perform well.
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: You know, you do the best you can, you know,
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: and if you're emotional, that's you should be, you know,
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: you should be. And sometimes I kind of lock on
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: to somebody who's standing there, a firefighter. You know, I
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: performed on the Nimitz for Freedom 250, which is also
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: very emotional. And I kind of just locked on to somebody,
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: you know, and sang the song with them, just like
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: I did at the concert for New York.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: So but, you know, I think, hey, if you cry,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: if you're angry, you should be. We should be.
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: But also it's incredibly inspiring to meet these people. And
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: that gives me strength every day.
• 22:03
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: John Andrasik, Five for Fighting. So thrilled that you were
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: able to join us this morning to share what you're
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: going to be doing to commemorate the 25th anniversary of
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: 9-11 this Friday night in New York from between the
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: footprint of the lights. We'll be watching.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Amy. Always a pleasure.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much, John. Take care. 9-11, a tribute
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: to light. It's on ABC tonight. I've got it. I've
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: got it recording already, but I'm going to watch that
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: for sure. And John Andrasik is just such a great
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: guy from Southern California. We love that he represents and
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: love kind of all that he's done, you know, to
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: support first responders in our military. And that's that's important.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Here's what we're following in the KFI 24 hour newsroom.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: The operator of cold storage warehouse in Boyle Heights that
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: burned for eight days is is suing the owner of
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: the building's rooftop solar array. Lineage Logistics claims that Altus
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Power re-energized a portion of the solar array just days
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: before the fire, despite concerns about connector failures among the panels.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, who is challenging L.A. Mayor Bass
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: in the November 3rd election, has been endorsed by former
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: city controller Laura Chick. She says she supports Raman's because
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: of the Councilwoman's vote against the Convention Center project, which
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: is estimated to cost about $ 100 million per year. Rahman
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: says it's not financially sustainable. Snoop Dogg's going to host
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards when the show returns
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: to L.A. later this month. The VMAs will air live
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: September 27th at 4.30 on CBS. It'll be simulcast on
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: MTV and streamed on Paramount Plus Premium. I didn't even
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: know there was still an MTV.
• 23:51
  Speaker 10: Wow. Yeah.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, here's what's coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Cities around Riverside County are marking the 25th anniversary of
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the September 11th terrorist attacks with flag ceremonies, moments of silence,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: and other commemorations. Chamber of Commerce officials in Corona will
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: be joined by city reps and others to pay homage
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: to the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives on 9-11.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: All of the names will be read, and moments of
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: silence and bell rings are scheduled to mark the exact
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: times when the airliners struck the Twin Towers, the Pentagon,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: and a fourth that crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: A 9-11 flag-raising ceremony will also be held in Jurupa Valley.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: A new poll finds the 9-11 attacks are still among
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: the most significant historical events in the lives of many Americans.
• 24:40
  Speaker 14: About half of adults in the U.S. consider what happened
• 24:43
  Speaker 14: that day to be one of the most pivotal events
• 24:45
  Speaker 14: they've lived through, 25 years later. In contrast with more
• 24:49
  Speaker 14: recent major events like the 2008 financial crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic,
• 24:54
  Speaker 14: and presidential elections, 9-11 stands out for its lasting impact.
• 24:58
  Speaker 14: The vast majority of Americans remember where they were when
• 25:00
  Speaker 14: they heard the news about the attacks, and about two-thirds
• 25:03
  Speaker 14: say it affected the country a great deal or quite
• 25:06
  Speaker 14: a bit. However, only about one in ten plan to
• 25:08
  Speaker 14: commemorate today's anniversary. Debra Mark, KFI News.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Let's get that number up, shall we? Eaton and Palisades
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: fire survivors could be left hanging after a program to
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: help them access resources and navigate government bureaucracy is terminated
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: at the end of the month without federal funding.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: The disaster case management program was meant to run into 2028.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: Matt Gazelle, emergency manager at Community Organized Relief Efforts, said
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: news it's ending this month was shocking and unexpected.
• 25:36
  Speaker 15: We've got a caseload currently of about 450 survivors that
• 25:40
  Speaker 15: will have to go somewhere. They still need assistance, and
• 25:43
  Speaker 15: there's not organizations with the experience or capacity to take
• 25:46
  Speaker 15: on that many survivors right now if we close down.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: What happens to those people? Gazelle says good question, and
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: four other agencies affected will leave 1,400 survivors without case managers.
• 25:56
  Speaker 15: This program cannot end without hurting survivors that have already
• 26:00
  Speaker 15: lost so much.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: Mark Rahner, KFI News.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: How much is that doggy in the window? Pasadena Humane
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: is reducing adoption fees for dogs through this Sunday. The
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: shelter is trying to make room for animals coming in
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: amid a seasonal adoption slowdown. The adoption special reduces fees
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: to $ 25 for all dogs ages six months and older.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Pasadena Humane now has more than 150 of those dogs
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: and adults. is currently caring for more than 450 animals
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: at the shelter. Time to get in your business, as
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: we do each weekday morning with Bloomberg's John Tucker. John,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: all eyes are on inflation numbers this morning.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you want to break this down together? Because it's
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: just coming across. This is the Consumer Price Index, Amy.
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: It's going to help the Federal Reserve decide whether or
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: not to raise interest rates when they meet next week.
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: So we're looking at what we call the core level.
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: It strips out some of the more volatile components.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: It's higher.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: You know, what a shock. Higher than we expected, up
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: three tenths of a percent. This on a month over
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: month basis. Probably no surprise here. The gasoline index rose
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: three point nine percent. So that makes up a third
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: of the monthly all items increase. And the immediate reaction.
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: It's kind of curious to me, but stock futures are
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: still higher. I would expect that to sell off. Traders, though,
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: are pricing at about a 90% chance that the Federal
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: Reserve next week is going to hike interest rates. So
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: that's kind of a wow-y reaction. And, again, you've got
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: to admit, I'm kind of curious why at least stock
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: futures are higher right now. I would expect that.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: To sell off.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, and speaking of things being higher, We've been talking
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: about gas prices going up and crude oil prices topping
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: $ 100 a barrel. But diesel is really the thing that's
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: just out of control.
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: It has hit a record for the first time ever. Well,
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: this is nationwide, above $ 6 a gallon. Now, in California,
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: near $ 8 a gallon. Diesel, of course, the workhorse fuel
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: for the global economy. It's a key input for food prices,
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: the cost of shipping and construction. Now, according to a
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: post by GasBuddy on X this morning, diesel hit the
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: pump display limit of 9, 9, 9, 9 a gallon
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: at some of the California gas stations this morning. It
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: couldn't go any higher. They have to swap out the displays,
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: I suppose, to go above 10.
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: We're going to end it with that. Getting in your
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: business as we do each weekday morning. This morning with
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Bloomberg's John Tucker. Thanks so much, John. Hope you have
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: a great weekend.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: You too, Amy.
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: Thanks very much.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: The eradication of Catalina Islands mule deer populations underway. Contracted
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: hunters are shooting the deer over a four to five
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: year period as part of the ecosystem restoration plan. The
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: first phase of the project, known as limited deer removal,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: will run through October. A federal court has rejected President
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Trump's effort to put restrictions on mail-in voting before November's midterms.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: A Boston-based court of appeals decided to prevent the U.S.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Postal Service from tightening rules around postal voting. This as
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: the Supreme Court also blocked Trump's efforts to introduce new
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: requirements around the practice. Metro will be offering free shuttle
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: service to SoFi Stadium this Sunday for the LA Chargers'
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: first home game of the season against the Arizona Cardinals.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Metro SoFi Stadium Express service will begin at 1025 a.m.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Shuttles will run every three to five minutes, beginning three
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: hours before kickoff. 25 years ago today, as we've been
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: telling you all morning on Wake Up Call, 2,977 souls
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: were taken from us in the terrorist attacks at the
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: KFI's Heather Brooker says for two people who call Southern
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: California home, the images we remember from that day aren't
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: just a headline, they're memories.
• 30:12
  Speaker 10: About an hour ago, about 8.45 Eastern Time, one plane
• 30:17
  Speaker 10: crashed into the tower.
• 30:20
  Speaker 16: They were young, starting their lives, and close enough to
• 30:23
  Speaker 16: watch the world change. Local news reports capturing the unbelievable
• 30:27
  Speaker 16: moments from the air and on the ground. Kevin Danny
• 30:33
  Speaker 16: was 22, an Occidental College graduate on just his second
• 30:37
  Speaker 16: day of work with Morgan Stanley. He was on the
• 30:40
  Speaker 16: 61st floor of the South Tower.
• 30:41
  Speaker 9: And I actually saw that there were flames coming out
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: of the North Tower, so I knew something had happened.
• 30:48
  Speaker 9: I did not know.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: What it was.
• 30:49
  Speaker 16: His manager told everyone to evacuate. Kevin took the stairs.
• 30:53
  Speaker 16: He made it sixth floor.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: The second tower was down.
• 30:56
  Speaker 9: That's when I got to floor 55 and the second
• 31:00
  Speaker 9: plane slammed into my tower just 20 floors above me.
• 31:04
  Speaker 16: Danny kept moving. Coming towards him were firefighters going up.
• 31:08
  Speaker 9: They kept telling us, you're safe, you're secure, keep going.
• 31:12
  Speaker 9: It's okay to head down. We've got a path for you.
• 31:17
  Speaker 9: And I'll never forget their faces and their voices as
• 31:20
  Speaker 9: I was heading down those stairs. They were so incredible.
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: Think about it. I mean, they were going up as
• 31:26
  Speaker 9: we were all descending and trying to get out of
• 31:29
  Speaker 9: the towers.
• 31:32
  Speaker 16: Three blocks away, 17-year-old Lila Nordstrom was sitting in a
• 31:35
  Speaker 16: 10th floor classroom at Stuyvesant High School. The windows faced
• 31:39
  Speaker 16: the towers.
• 31:40
  Speaker 17: There was this huge, you know, what felt like an
• 31:42
  Speaker 17: earthquake and like sounded like a sonic boom. And we
• 31:45
  Speaker 17: turned around and there was a big fireball on top
• 31:47
  Speaker 17: of the World Trade Center.
• 31:50
  Speaker 16: Her teacher initially kept teaching. Then they watched the second
• 31:53
  Speaker 16: plane hit. And when the first tower collapsed, students were
• 31:56
  Speaker 16: finally told to evacuate.
• 31:58
  Speaker 17: The moment that I set foot on pavement, the second
• 32:01
  Speaker 17: tower fell. And so I ended up in like a
• 32:02
  Speaker 17: stampede of office workers. So I kind of ran as
• 32:06
  Speaker 17: fast as I could.
• 32:08
  Speaker 16: Kevin made it out.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Lila got away.
• 32:11
  Speaker 16: But surviving September 11th didn't mean escaping what came after.
• 32:16
  Speaker 16: Lila's school reopened less than a month later, three blocks
• 32:19
  Speaker 16: from ground zero, while fires were still burning.
• 32:22
  Speaker 17: The main story of 9-11, the one that is impacting
• 32:24
  Speaker 17: us still, is about the health consequences of the cleanup
• 32:28
  Speaker 17: of the World Trade Center site.
• 32:29
  Speaker 16: Nordstrom says thousands of students and other community members were
• 32:32
  Speaker 16: exposed to contaminants when classmates later became sick. She became
• 32:36
  Speaker 16: an advocate for survivors, a fight that continues 25 years later.
• 32:40
  Speaker 17: We were in the middle of like an active environmental
• 32:42
  Speaker 17: disaster for months and months and months. Like first responders,
• 32:45
  Speaker 17: we are also getting sick now.
• 32:47
  Speaker 16: And she sees a warning for her adopted home.
• 32:49
  Speaker 17: We've had these massive fires in LA in the last
• 32:52
  Speaker 17: few years. There are active, you know, contaminated zones all
• 32:57
  Speaker 17: over L.A.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: Because of them.
• 32:58
  Speaker 16: For Kevin, coming home to Southern California meant something different,
• 33:02
  Speaker 16: a promise. He and his fellow survivors agreed they'd visit
• 33:05
  Speaker 16: their hometown fire stations and thank the people who run
• 33:08
  Speaker 16: toward danger. Kevin went to South Pasadena.
• 33:11
  Speaker 9: About a week and a half after 9-11, and I
• 33:14
  Speaker 9: told the South Pass firefighters what heroes they are, talked
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: about their brothers in New York that had lost their
• 33:21
  Speaker 9: lives and did so much to save me.
• 33:23
  Speaker 16: 25 years later, Kevin still lives and works here. Lila
• 33:28
  Speaker 16: came to L.A. looking for a place to build a
• 33:31
  Speaker 16: life beyond the trauma of New York.
• 33:33
  Speaker 17: I loved living in L.A. because it allows me to
• 33:36
  Speaker 17: exist outside of 9-11 in part of my life.
• 33:38
  Speaker 16: Two young people who walked away from September 11th and
• 33:41
  Speaker 16: spent the next 25 years deciding what to do with
• 33:44
  Speaker 16: the life that came after.
• 33:46
  Speaker 9: I'm very lucky and blessed that I get to really
• 33:50
  Speaker 9: be grateful and thankful to the heroes that saved me,
• 33:54
  Speaker 9: and it's my mission to tell their story.
• 33:58
  Speaker 16: Heather Brooker, KFI News.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Never forget. Let's get back to some of the stories
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. The artificial intelligence
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: giant Anthropic has confirmed reports that several attempts have been
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: made by people trying to use its AI models to
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: possibly develop biological weapons. ABC's Matt Rivers says in each case,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Anthropic banned the user's accounts.
• 34:23
  Speaker 18: For engaging in efforts to obfuscate the purpose of their
• 34:26
  Speaker 18: research to evade our safeguards, adding that they do not
• 34:30
  Speaker 18: know if the user's intended harm was or were performing
• 34:33
  Speaker 18: legitimate scientific work.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: It comes after a former anthropic and open AI researcher
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: said AI could wipe out humans within 10 years. California
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Congressman Ted Lieu is pushing a bill for an AI
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: kill switch.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: Lieu says AI systems have gotten so advanced that they
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: can cause catastrophic harm.
• 34:52
  Speaker 10: Heavy machinery has kill switches. High speed rail has kill switches.
• 34:56
  Speaker 10: Jet skis have kill switches. So we're just saying to
• 34:59
  Speaker 10: these AI companies, hey, look, when you build an advanced
• 35:03
  Speaker 10: AI model, make sure you can turn it off.
• 35:06
  Speaker 15: If it goes rogue.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: Democrat Lew says the Trump administration has let the AI
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: industry run wild.
• 35:11
  Speaker 10: The administration made an intentional decision not to do any regulations,
• 35:15
  Speaker 10: and that has been a mistake. It's harmed America. It's
• 35:19
  Speaker 10: harming even the AI industry because now there's a massive
• 35:22
  Speaker 10: public backlash. And that's why we need to put in
• 35:24
  Speaker 10: common sense legislation like the AI kill switch bill, which
• 35:28
  Speaker 10: is bipartisan.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: Mark Croner, KFI News.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: The cost of crude oil is over $ 100 a barrel.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: ABC's Wayne Cabot says gas prices are hitting new records
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: as a result.
• 35:39
  Speaker 19: Drivers are getting thumped at the pump lately with daily
• 35:41
  Speaker 19: increases of five cents or more. And for the first time, diesel,
• 35:45
  Speaker 19: the lifeblood of all shipping, hit the $ 6 a gallon mark.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: The price for regular unleaded in L.A. County is now $ 5. 98,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: up three cents from yesterday. In Orange County, it's $ 5. 96.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Republican Congresswoman Young Kim is dropping all references to President
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Trump from her reelection website. Kim represents parts of Orange
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Riverside and San Bernardino County. She's locked in a race
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: with fellow Republican Representative Ken Calvert. Kim's district, the 40th,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: is considered one of the only safe districts left for
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Republicans in the region after California redrew congressional district boundaries
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: under Prop 50. Both campaigns have been using ads and
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: mailers highlighting their support for Trump to try to attract
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: GOP voters. But now, as the general election gets closer,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: both candidates are distancing themselves from the president in their
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: messaging in what may be an attempt to broaden their
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: appeal to voters. It's a big pull for an even
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: bigger purpose. Teams of 25 will take on a 124,000
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: pound UPS jet tomorrow at Long Beach Airport, racing to
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: pull it 12 feet. The Law Enforcement Torch Run Plane
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Pull raises money for Special Olympics around Southern California, supporting
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: free sports, health, and leadership programs. The event starts at
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: 9 o'clock in the morning. Special Olympics athletes will take
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: the first pull. You can visit SOSC.org for details on
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: how to lend your support. Thanks for starting your day
• 37:19

• 37:35
  Speaker 1: of America, a day that changed all of our lives.
