  Speaker 1: all got to be up this early in the morning,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: we might as well have some fun doing it, right?
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Here's what's ahead on wake-up call. City Councilwoman Nithya Raman's
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: lead has increased by about 10,000 votes as the ballot
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: count in the mayor's race continues. She's now leading Mayor
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Bass with 51.67% of the vote. That's up about a
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: half percentage point from the last count. Bass has 48.33%.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Updated results are expected to be released later this morning.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: A couple more elections in Southern California have been decided.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Democrat Marnie Yvonne Wilpert wins election to the U.S. House
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: in California's 48th congressional district, which covers East County. San Diego,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and Temecula Valley. And Democrat Dave Min has won re-election
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: in the 47th District, which covers the South Coast metro
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: area in Orange County. A complete list of the local
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: races can be found on our website. There's a lot
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: of them, and you can find them at kfiam640. com on
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the local news page. A federal grand jury has indicted
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: 10 people living in L.A. in Orange County, saying they
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: illegally registered to vote. by falsely claiming they were U.S. citizens.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: The charges come after the Trump administration lost a court
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: battle to prevent the state from tallying votes from 20,000
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: people that it identified as potential non-citizens. The defendants could
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: face up to five years in prison if convicted. So
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: elections have consequences. Things could be changing for the DOJ
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and the FBI now that the ABC's crime and terror
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: analyst Brad Garrett is going to join us in a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: few minutes to tell us what changes we can expect
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to see. And as I go out and about this week,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: producer Anne and I got to head out to Santa
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Clarita to see a man about a horse. Actually, it
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: was a woman about a horse. A very special horse
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: who is now thriving at a place called The Gentle Barn.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: You'll meet Bernard and... We're going to do a little
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: cow hugging too. Yep, cow hugging. And if you're looking
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: for a great place to go take a little hike
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and do it for a really good cause, the Ovarian
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Cancer 5K is this weekend in Griffith Park. We're going
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to tell you about that and why it's so important
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to walk for this cause. That's coming up on Wake
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Up Call. Let's get started with some of the stories
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. As I just mentioned,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: it is still neck and neck between Mayor Bass and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Councilwoman Nithya Raman in the race to be LA's next mayor.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: following a very heated campaign.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: It's been a mudslinging contest, according to Christopher Hallenbrook, an
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: associate professor of political science at California State University, Dominguez Hills.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: He tells KFI the fact that both candidates are Democrats
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: may have added to the contentious campaigning.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: Sometimes the LOS races can be within the same party
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: when you know you don't have to worry about.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: The other party.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Initially, it was Bassett took the lead after the polls closed,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: but then Rahman pulled ahead with ballots still being counted
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: and a close margin. Experts believe it could be weeks
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: before winners called. Eileen Gonzalez, KFI News.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: The next batch of votes is expected to be released
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: at about 9 this morning. A leader with the L.A.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Police Officers Union says he's very concerned about Nithya Rahman's
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: potential win. Jamie McBride says if she does become mayor,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the city needs to prepare for Armageddon. He says she
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: won't have to defund the police. Police officers will just
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: leave the department. Rahman said during her campaign that she
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: would fire Police Chief McDonnell if she's elected. She didn't
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: say if she would do it before the 2028 Summer
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Olympic Games. California Representative Robert Garcia has laid out a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: rather aggressive agenda after Tuesday's Democratic sweep of Congress.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: Garcia posted on X Tuesday night, lawyer up.
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: We think that the most important things are going to
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: be taking on the corruption in the White House, the
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: Trump family, ICE and DHS, the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: corporate corruption.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: He spoke at a news conference the following day. Garcia
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: will be the top Democrat on the House Oversight and
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: Government Reform Committee.
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: The thing about when you're in the majority of the Congress,
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: we have also the power now to sue on behalf
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: of the U.S. House, which we didn't have in the minority.
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: And secondly, we have the power of contempt charges. And
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: so people need to understand that we're going to be
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: really aggressive in ensuring that people answer questions and that
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: they're responsive to our requests.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: He says investigations are ready to launch on the first day.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: Mark Rauner, KFI News.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Another sea turtle has laid eggs on a beach in
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Southern California, this time on San Buenaventure State Beach near
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the Ventura Pier in Ventura County. Scientists say this is
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a new phenomenon. They believe that the warm waters from
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: El Nino are pushing the turtles further north. The eggs
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: that are now in the sand in Ventura County will
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: be closely monitored. They put a fence around them, but
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: they're not going to move them. In September, rare Olive
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Ridley sea turtles laid eggs in two locations in Orange County.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: They were gathered up to protect them from high tides
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and storms. They're being incubated at the Aquarium of the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Pacific in Long Beach. They have a 45 to 60
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: day incubation period so they could hatch any day now.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: How cute is that? Baby sea turtles.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: Come on.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to ABC News crime and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: terror analyst Brad Garrett. Good morning, Brad.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Morning, Amy.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: OK, so the Democrats have taken control of both the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: House and Senate or they officially will in January. And
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: we just were talking about how Representative Garcia from California
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: says he's got lots of investigations planned. Tell us what
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: we can expect to see as this power shift happens.
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: So obviously, Amy, the potential list of things that congressional
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: oversight could look at is longer than you and I
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: could talk this morning. But it's things like The president's
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: crypto deals and all the money he's made, issues with
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: the ballroom, issues with, you know, boat strikes, relationships with foreign... entities,
• 6:50
  Speaker 8: the jet that he got as a gift from the Qataris.
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: I mean, all of these things, you know, the public
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: for sure, and probably Congress also, don't have any details
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: as to, you know, were they ethical, were they lawful?
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: And so what I think is that these These investigations
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: by Congress will start to churn up all of this
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: stuff and start pulling up specifics about what went on
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: and who talked to whom and what money was exchanged,
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: which will obviously pull the FBI in because a lot
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: of these or most of them are violations the FBI investigates.
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: The other thing is as they start pulling in investigators
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: and quizzing them under oath, the question is how much
• 7:35
  Speaker 8: of some of these deals– Did law enforcement already know
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: about that they had all sorts of maybe legal issues,
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: but were told not to investigate them? We'll have to
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: see if any of that's true. But you can see
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: how murky and fireball potential this can get to as
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: we move through 2027.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: So nothing's going to happen. I mean, it just sounds
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: like they're going to go back. The Democrats are going
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to do what they did last time, and they're just
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: going to try to wrap everything up in investigations and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: go after Trump and impeach him?
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: Well, maybe, or impeach some of his cabinet members. I mean, obviously,
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: they have to be careful that that doesn't end up
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: being their main focus, because that isn't what got them elected.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: But that's what they're talking about, like right out of
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the chute.
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but that's individuals that would run these committees are
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: telling you that they would do. As far as what
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: Congress would do overall, of course, that remains to be seen.
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: So like, yeah, you're exactly right. people are going to
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: want to hear some of this, but they don't want
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: to hear that that's the main focus. And my guess
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: is it won't be.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Well, we will watch and we'll see what happens. It's
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: going to be an interesting and probably very bumpy ride.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Brad Garrett. We'll talk to you again soon.
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: Take care, Amy.
• 8:50
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. A Republican congressman says he's
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: planning to force a House vote as soon as Next week, too,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: impeach President Trump's war secretary, just like Brad mentioned might happen.
• 9:04
  Speaker 10: Thomas Massey of Kentucky made that claim Wednesday on CNN.
• 9:07
  Speaker 10: Massey had introduced articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth back
• 9:11
  Speaker 10: in September that accused him of high crimes and misdemeanors
• 9:14
  Speaker 10: for his role in the Iran war. Republican House Speaker
• 9:17
  Speaker 10: Mike Johnson called it a stunt before canceling the rest
• 9:20
  Speaker 10: of the House session ahead of the midterms. An impeachment
• 9:22
  Speaker 10: of Hegseth would require a simple majority in the House
• 9:26
  Speaker 10: and two-thirds majority in the Senate. Tammy Trujillo, KFI News.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: President Trump says he thinks he'll get along with Democrats
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: unless they want to be destructive.
• 9:37
  Speaker 11: On Wednesday after the midterm elections, the president spoke to
• 9:40
  Speaker 11: reporters at the site of the new White House ballroom
• 9:43
  Speaker 11: and was peppered with questions about the GOP losses in
• 9:47
  Speaker 11: the midterms.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: If I were in the ballot, we would have won.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: You saw the people that were packed, thousands and thousands
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: of people at every rally.
• 9:53
  Speaker 11: He brushed off the possibility of Democrats trying to impeach
• 9:57
  Speaker 11: him now that they have control of the House and Senate.
• 10:00
  Speaker 11: saying it would destroy the Democratic Party. Lisa Carton, KFI News.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: President Trump spent the day after the midterm elections not
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: talking about the elections so much, but showing off his big,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: beautiful ballroom.
• 10:12
  Speaker 12: The day after the midterm elections, Trump was updating the
• 10:15
  Speaker 12: progress of the White House ballroom still under construction and
• 10:18
  Speaker 12: thanked the workers on site.
• 10:20
  Speaker 13: So you have ceilings, drone-proof, missile-proof, bullet-proof. The floor is
• 10:26
  Speaker 13: very thick and all from underneath is totally... Designed in
• 10:32
  Speaker 13: such a way, this is the safest place in Washington.
• 10:35
  Speaker 12: Trump then touted his efforts to refurbish D.C. monuments and
• 10:38
  Speaker 12: statues and his efforts to combat crime in the area.

  Speaker 1: to join forces with Jewish-led parties in an effort to
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: end the rule of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: lawmaker calls a criminal government. He says if the Jewish-led
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: parties reject such a partnership, then it would prove Israel
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: is not an absolute democracy for all citizens. Only one
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Arab party has ever served in an Israeli government, and
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: that was in 2021. New Jersey Governor Mikey Sherrill has

• 11:29
  Speaker 14: harsh penalties, both civil and criminal. The notice came after

• 11:36
  Speaker 14: to pull into the port of New York and New
• 11:38
  Speaker 14: Jersey by Saturday. after the Trump administration struck a deal
• 11:41
  Speaker 14: with Russia to ship diesel to the U.S. to lower prices.
• 11:44
  Speaker 14: But Sherrill argued in the letter the Russian Oil Act

  Speaker 14: waive sanctions to do this.

  Speaker 1: horses is. This week, Wake Up Call went out and

  Speaker 1: had the horse-drawn carriage businesses. for years and years and

• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Are bringing that to an end and we just happen
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: to have a horse here in Santa Clarita at the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Gentle Barn that used to be one of those horses
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: that led the carriages down the streets of Manhattan and
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: with us today we have Ellie Lacks who's the co-founder
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: of the Gentle Barn. Ellie tell us about this magnificent
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: horse and how you came to have Bernard who came
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: 3,000 miles to live out his best life here in
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Southern California.
• 16:41
  Speaker 16: So Bernard got very, very lucky in a way.
• 16:45
  Speaker 17: So what happens in the carriage industry is when they
• 16:47
  Speaker 17: get ill or lame, they're typically not given any vet
• 16:50
  Speaker 17: care and they're typically just kind of offloaded into an
• 16:53
  Speaker 17: auction where they get bought by the slaughter trucks.
• 16:58
  Speaker 16: So that's what happened with Bernard. He did go lame
• 17:01
  Speaker 16: after standing on concrete for so long.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: How long was he a horse for the carriages?
• 17:06
  Speaker 17: We don't really know, although I know that they do
• 17:09
  Speaker 17: start them young. So he was about 20 when we
• 17:12
  Speaker 17: rescued him.
• 17:12
  Speaker 18: Okay.
• 17:14
  Speaker 16: So he had been in the carriage industry for quite
• 17:16
  Speaker 16: a while.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 17:18
  Speaker 16: So he had lameness, arthritis, and a lot of pain.
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: Oh, baby.
• 17:24
  Speaker 17: And he got fished out of the auction by a
• 17:26
  Speaker 17: horse rescue... And they realized that he was a carriage
• 17:29
  Speaker 17: horse and then invited us to take him for the
• 17:32
  Speaker 17: rest of his life.
• 17:33
  Speaker 16: So we gave him acupuncture, massage therapy, chiropractic.
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: Oh, my gosh.
• 17:37
  Speaker 17: Energy healing, stretching, daily stretching, exercise, good, really good food.
• 17:45
  Speaker 17: And we've been able to completely resuscitate him. He is
• 17:47
  Speaker 17: completely sound. He does not have any lameness or stiffness anymore.
• 17:51
  Speaker 9: And yes.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: And now he lives here at the Jindal Barn. And
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: what does he do here?
• 17:58
  Speaker 17: So here, so the one thing that Bernard did love
• 18:02
  Speaker 17: about being a carriage horse is seeing the delight on
• 18:05
  Speaker 17: people's faces when they saw him. Yeah.
• 18:07
  Speaker 16: And so we try every single day to give him
• 18:10
  Speaker 16: that feeling.
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: Oh, you're getting a lot of love right now, Bernard.
• 18:14
  Speaker 9: Yes, you are.
• 18:16
  Speaker 17: So we're open to the public on Sundays for guests
• 18:19
  Speaker 17: to come meet the animals and hear their stories. And
• 18:22
  Speaker 17: he hosts our equine therapy sessions where people come to
• 18:26
  Speaker 17: the Gentle Barn to practice confidence and leadership skills.
• 18:30
  Speaker 16: And he hosts it.
• 18:31
  Speaker 17: So people groom him and learn how to talk deliberately
• 18:37
  Speaker 17: with their own body language and hear what he's saying
• 18:39
  Speaker 17: with his.
• 18:40
  Speaker 16: And then they take him for a walk. to practice
• 18:42
  Speaker 16: that confidence and leadership skills.
• 18:44
  Speaker 17: And he's amazing. He's got this huge, big purpose. He
• 18:47
  Speaker 17: brings delight on everyone's faces. He gets a lot of
• 18:51
  Speaker 17: friends out in pasture. He gets to race around with
• 18:53
  Speaker 17: his buddies and.
• 18:55
  Speaker 16: He gets to live a life that horses are meant to.
• 18:57
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: I mean, think about that.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: If you, you know, to be able to run and be, um,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: not free for you, but to run and have room
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: to run when he was a carriage horse. they were
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: on concrete all the time. And then at night, where
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: did they hang out? Did they get to go to
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: a nice place at night?
• 19:14
  Speaker 17: Yeah, so carriages in New York literally stood on the
• 19:17
  Speaker 17: concrete while they're waiting for fares, pulled the carriages on
• 19:21
  Speaker 17: concrete through traffic, and then at night... They're tethered to
• 19:24
  Speaker 17: the wall of a parking garage, standing again on concrete.
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 19:28
  Speaker 16: So it's a very abnormal life.
• 19:29
  Speaker 17: You know, if you look at how horses are supposed
• 19:31
  Speaker 17: to live in the wild, they live in big social
• 19:34
  Speaker 17: groups led by the matriarch.
• 19:37
  Speaker 16: They graze on many different kinds of weeds and grasses.
• 19:41
  Speaker 16: They roam 30 miles a day.
• 19:42
  Speaker 13: Oh, wow.
• 19:43
  Speaker 16: They groom one another. They play with one another. They
• 19:46
  Speaker 16: have a very beautiful life. And there was nothing normal
• 19:49
  Speaker 16: about it.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: The life he was living in New York.
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: And now he gets to have that. So let's talk
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: about the Gentle Barn a little bit because it's such
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: a cool place.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I was so excited when I first heard about this
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: that you do something at the Gentle Barn called cow hugging.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: And it's a thing. Tell us what it is and
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: how you do it.
• 20:07
  Speaker 17: So, cow hug therapy is something that started almost in
• 20:10
  Speaker 17: the very inception of the Gentle Barn, 27 years ago,
• 20:13
  Speaker 17: where I rescued my very first cow. Mm-hmm.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: I keep cinching forward. That's okay.
• 20:21
  Speaker 17: I rescued my very first cow, and she would hug
• 20:24
  Speaker 17: me at the end of long and stressful days and
• 20:27
  Speaker 17: wash away the stress. And after a few weeks of that,
• 20:30
  Speaker 17: I came to rely on those hugs and... I thought, well,
• 20:34
  Speaker 17: other people in the world need them too. So we
• 20:37
  Speaker 17: opened Cow Hug Therapy. Back then it was for people
• 20:40
  Speaker 17: in foster care, on probation, drug and alcohol rehab centers,
• 20:43
  Speaker 17: domestic violence shelters, people in agencies that were helping people.
• 20:47
  Speaker 17: And those agencies brought their clients to the Gentle Barn
• 20:50
  Speaker 17: to hug our cow Buddha and have her wrap her
• 20:54
  Speaker 17: neck around them. And then the pandemic hit. And when
• 20:58
  Speaker 17: we reopened after the pandemic, we realized it's not just
• 21:01
  Speaker 17: people in help centers that need help. Yeah.
• 21:03
  Speaker 16: It's all of us.
• 21:04
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 21:05
  Speaker 16: And so now we offer.
• 21:07
  Speaker 17: Cow hug therapy literally to anyone who is suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, grief.
• 21:14
  Speaker 16: Or just needs a really good hug.
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, okay. And we're going to do a little cow hugging,
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: I think, today.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Because I think Bernard wants to go back and hang
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: out with his friends Moose and Marley.
• 21:24
  Speaker 16: He would like some cookies.
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: Oh, he sees that there's treats.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: So tell us, how do we find Gentle Barn if
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: people are interested in coming out and just doing a
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: day at the barn and wandering around maybe with their family,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: bring the kids? or if they want to do a
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: more intensive and do the cow-hugging therapy.
• 21:41
  Speaker 17: Yeah, so we're only 30 minutes from Los Angeles, located
• 21:44
  Speaker 17: in Santa Clarita, and people can go to our website, gentlebarn.org,
• 21:47
  Speaker 17: click on Visit or Programs, and see all the experiences
• 21:52
  Speaker 17: we're offering.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: Ellie Wax, this is so cool.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: This is just a beautiful ending for this horse who
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: gets to enjoy his life now and other animals that
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: you've rescued. We're out and about at the Gentle Barn
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: in Santa Clarita. And I got to tell you, it
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: was so cool. Ann and I had such a great
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: time and we both were like, we're so relaxed.
• 22:14
  Speaker 11: And it's just, it was so relaxing and beautiful.
• 22:18
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: And the cows there are, because they're used to people
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: and they're not, you know, all smashed together in a, or,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: you know, whatever, they have room to move a little
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: bit and, and they're They're huge. They're almost as big
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: as an elephant. But they're just very calm. And so
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: you just kind of lay down and you put your
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: head up against them and you can feel them breathing
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: and you can feel their warmth. And it's just... It's
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: just so surprisingly relaxing.
• 22:46
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I would encourage anybody to go out there and
• 22:49
  Speaker 11: give it a try.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: It's a beautiful afternoon.
• 22:50
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it is.
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: And as Ellie said, you could go out there and
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: take the family out there like on a Sunday because
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: that's when they open and you can get all the
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: information on their website, gentlebarn.org. And also, we invite you
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: to take a look at it. I'm about to post
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: on my Instagram the interview so you can see Bernard,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: the horse, who is just absolutely beautiful, and also see
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: some of the cows and that kind of thing. But
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: it was just a really cool way to spend an afternoon.
• 23:18
  Speaker 14: I didn't know that about the carriage horses, that they're
• 23:21
  Speaker 14: literally forced to stand on concrete 24 hours a day.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: I did not either.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: I was just kind of like, oh, it sounds like
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: a beautiful tradition. Why are people clamping it down?
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: But, eh.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Because the horses aren't treated well.
• 23:32
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: So anyway, but you can follow me at Amy K.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: King.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Check out the video. It's very cool. The horse is beautiful.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: The cows are very fun. It's also going to be
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: on KFI AM 640. And that is where we went
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: out and about.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: AM 640.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Prop 40 still appears to be headed for failure with
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: the latest release of the vote count. Fifty five percent
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: of voters voted. are saying no to the California billionaires
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: tax compared to 44% in favor. The tax would call
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: for a one-time 5% tax on the approximately 250 billionaires
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: in the state. Opponents said there were loopholes in the
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: proposition that could have meant taxes could be imposed on
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: the not-so-rich, too.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: A former L.A.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: County sheriff's deputy is expected to be sentenced today for
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: taking part in what prosecutors called a Mexican mafia operation.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: to smuggle heroin into a jail in Castaic in tubes
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: of Pringles chips done in exchange for cash bribes. Someone
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: has become very, very rich, but it's nowhere close to here.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: The winning ticket, worth $ 847 million for last night's Powerball drawing,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: was sold in New Jersey. So the Powerball jackpot resets
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: to $ 20 million for Saturday. The Mega Millions jackpot for

  Speaker 1: Here are some more stories coming out of the KFI
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: 24-hour newsroom. California has voted down Measure 39 that would
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: have required voters to show ID before casting ballots. But apparently,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: this isn't the last time we'll decide this issue.
• 25:36
  Speaker 18: Republican Assemblymember Carl DeMaio, who authored Prop 39, blames its
• 25:41
  Speaker 18: defeat on the political climate and what he calls misleading campaigning.
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: They changed it from voter ID to prohibit citizens from voting.
• 25:48
  Speaker 18: DeMaio says he plans to bring the measure back to
• 25:50
  Speaker 18: voters without changing the proposal.
• 25:53
  Speaker 8: When an idea is important to get done, you don't
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: back down. You don't crawl into a corner and say, well,
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: we're not going to fix the problem.
• 25:59
  Speaker 18: He says he'll look for a more favorable political environment
• 26:02
  Speaker 18: the next time. Heather Brooker, KFI News.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: California will take $ 1. 4 billion from the Biden administration, but
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: apparently not under the terms set by the Trump administration.
• 26:12
  Speaker 15: Part of President Biden's infrastructure bill from 2021 was for
• 26:16
  Speaker 15: expanding broadband Internet access. President Trump updated the terms of
• 26:21
  Speaker 15: accepting that money, saying states that do take the money
• 26:23
  Speaker 15: have to stop enforcing net neutrality rules, which reduce costs
• 26:26
  Speaker 15: and guarantee equal access to the Internet. California is the
• 26:30
  Speaker 15: last state to accept the money and has the strongest
• 26:32
  Speaker 15: net neutrality rules in the country. Accepting the new terms
• 26:35
  Speaker 15: would cost the state $ 16 billion. Governor Newsom says California
• 26:39
  Speaker 15: is both taking the federal money and maintaining its access rules.

  Speaker 9: L.A.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: County has paused... syringe handouts at the Skid Row Care Campus.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: The timing is being criticized because this happens to coincide
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: with a cluster of HIV cases being discovered among people
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: living in the area. The county says concerns from local
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: businesses and community members contributed to the decision. The pause
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: in syringe handouts began in August. County officials say it's
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: temporary and public health teams are expanding HIV testing and
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: prevention as they investigate how the HIV infections are spreading
• 27:16

  Speaker 1: The journey for a NASA satellite telescope that's been in
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: orbit for over 20 years has come to an end.
• 27:25
  Speaker 12: The Swift Observatory was launched in 2004 to study gamma-ray bursts,
• 27:30
  Speaker 12: which are believed to be the most powerful blasts of
• 27:32
  Speaker 12: energy in the known universe. On Wednesday, NASA says the
• 27:35
  Speaker 12: telescope fell out of orbit and burned up in the
• 27:37
  Speaker 12: atmosphere over Indonesia. The fiery crash was not unexpected. Earlier
• 27:42
  Speaker 12: this year, the U.S. Space Force sent a rescue spacecraft
• 27:45
  Speaker 12: to the satellite to extend its life, but failed in
• 27:48
  Speaker 12: its mission. NASA says no damage or injuries have been
• 27:51
  Speaker 12: reported on the ground from falling debris. Mark Mayfield, KFI News.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Well, that's good news. Longtime TV news anchor Harold Green
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: has died. He started his journalism career as a producer
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: and reporter back in 1970 before he worked in San
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Diego and San Francisco. He returned to ABC7 in 1982
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: and anchored the station's evening news until 2000. He also
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: worked at KCBS and KCAL, where he remained until he
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: retired in 2008. Green earned multiple Emmy, Golden Mike, and
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Edward R. Murrow Awards during his career. He was also
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Harold Green was 82. Time to get in your business now.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: We do it every weekday morning. This morning, we're talking
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: to Dan Schwartzman. Good morning, Dan.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Amy. How are you?
• 28:39
  Speaker 9: Doing good.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: And it looks like the stock market's doing good again
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: today after gaining like 1500 points yesterday.
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: The Dow is looking good right now. It's up 341 points.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: That's an increase of close to two thirds of a percent. These,
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: of course, the futures S & P is up a
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: tenth of 1%. NASDAQ, though, is struggling. It continues to
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: go the wrong way. That's lost 261 points, a decrease
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: of nine-tenths of 1%.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: And Dan, do we know why the stock market would
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: react so positively to a change of power?
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: It's strange, right? Because when it was all occurring Tuesday
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: night as part of the Bloomberg broadcast, we watched the
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: futures really tumble at that point. And then they slowly
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: started going up. I think there was the initial, oh
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: my goodness, the Democrats are not going to be as
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: business friendly. It's not going to be friendly for data
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: centers and techs and things like that. But I think
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: as people kind of look at it and they try
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: to find the positives in there, there's enough there because frankly,
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: You can't make massive changes yet because while data centers
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: are a point of contention, though, people do want to
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: see technological advancement. So, I think that's probably why we
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: saw some advancing, especially yesterday. It's going to be interesting
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: to see, though, as markets open in less than an hour,
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: what the numbers are going to be like the rest
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: of today.
• 29:53
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: It's always interesting to watch. I remember back during the
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: election in 2016 when.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Trump first got elected, that when it started to look
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: on election night like Trump was going to win, same thing.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: The futures just tumbled like they were down over a
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: thousand points and everybody was freaking out. And then they
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: shot back up once the election winner was announced.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you real quick what I think. I think
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: people are kind of wondering what his reaction would be,
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: because obviously you never know with him, right? What's he
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: going to put out there on Truth Social? And for
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: the most part, he was fairly cordial. And I think
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: that kind of gave a little people gave people a
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: little confidence that, okay, he's not going to go completely
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: ballistic and, you know, and, you know, say the world
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: is ending. So I think maybe that's why you saw
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: a better day yesterday in the sense of like, okay, he,
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: you know, said he wanted to work with the Dems.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: He said that, he said seemingly the right things for
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: him compared to what the expectations were election night. And
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: that's why You saw the big tumble, and then I
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: think you saw the big gain because of the fact
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: that he has so far been somewhat OK. Although, who knows?
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: The wheels could fall off later today with him.
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: It's early. Exactly. Plenty of time.
• 30:59
  Speaker 10: Some more good news.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Solid job numbers are out.
• 31:02
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 31:02
  Speaker 13: U.S.
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: Employers announced the fewest number of job cuts for any
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: October since 2023. Employers eliminated nearly 44,000 positions last month.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: That's down 71% from a year earlier, according to outplacement
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: firm Challenger Gray and Christmas. Now, hiring plans picked up
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: as companies began gearing up for the holidays. Employers said
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: they plan to hire nearly 445,000 workers. That's up 57%
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: from a year ago and the highest for any October
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: since at least 2009. So those seasonal temp workers for
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: the holidays, you know, a lot of jobs apparently will
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: be available for the next few months.
• 31:36
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Get in your business as we do each weekday morning.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: This morning with Bloomberg's Dan Schwartzman. Thanks, Dan. We'll talk
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: to you again soon.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: Sounds good, Amy.
• 31:45
  Speaker 17: All right.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: When we come back, if you're looking for a great
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: place to take a little hike and do it for
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: a really good cause, there's a 5K this weekend in
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Griffith Park. We're going to tell you about that and
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: why it's so important to walk for this particular cause.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: It's coming up on Wake Up Call next.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI AM640.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Here's what we're following in the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Proposition
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: 3 still appears to be headed toward passage. 59% of
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: voters cast ballots in favor of the measure that would
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: permanently raise taxes for the top 2% of income earners
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: in the state. Without approval, the higher tax rates would
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: have expired in 2031. Supporters argued the tax revenue helps
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: fund critical programs for families. Opponents said the taxes wouldn't
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: have needed to be made permanent if Sacramento had spent
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: the money responsibly. Long Beach Democratic Congressman Robert Garcia has
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: outlined his targets when he takes over as chair of
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: the House Oversight Committee. Garcia said yesterday in Huntington Beach,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: which he now represents in Congress, that he has four targets,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: the Trump crime family, as he put it, ICE and DHS,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: the Epstein files, and businesses tied to the White House.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: The Radio City Rockettes are kicking off their 101st season,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: get it, kicking off, at Radio City Music Hall. The
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Christmas Spectacular shows will run through January 4th. They have
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: a new number called Ring. It features a different angle
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: to the Christmas Carol, Christmas classic Carol of the Bells. Also,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: officials say this year they're putting in new cameras and
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: new sound technology to and putting in microphones built into
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: the shoes of the Rockettes.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: We're just minutes away from Handel on the news this morning.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: I just mentioned it. Lots of investigations are coming now
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: that the Democrats have taken control or are about to
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: take control of Congress. Bill's going to dig into that.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to the CEO and co-founder
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: of Sandy Rollman Ovarian Cancer Foundation, Robin Cohen. Good morning, Robin.
• 33:51
  Speaker 19: Good morning. Thanks for having me.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for getting up early to tell us
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: about the event that you have going on this weekend.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: We just did our little out and about to Santa Clarita,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: but here's somewhere else you can go out and about
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: this weekend, and it's to walk for a really... important cause.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: It's the Sandy Sprint California 5K Run and Walk in
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Griffith Park.
• 34:10
  Speaker 19: Yes, it's this Sunday, November 8th. It benefits ovarian cancer
• 34:15
  Speaker 19: research at UCLA. It's a great community event. It just
• 34:19
  Speaker 19: brings survivors together, families. It's just such a beautiful day
• 34:25
  Speaker 19: and really community, in my opinion, is what really heals you.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: I love these walks because you can go and explore
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: areas that you might not otherwise go to and you're
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: doing it for such a great cause. So let's talk
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: about that cause and the reason why you're walking.
• 34:42
  Speaker 19: Yeah. So, you know, ovarian cancer is the deadliest of
• 34:47
  Speaker 19: all the gynecologic cancers. There's no screening test. There's no cure.
• 34:52
  Speaker 19: So research funding is really needed. So this is a
• 34:56
  Speaker 19: fun way to raise funds and to bring the community together.
• 34:59
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: For a not fun reason, but a great event. So yeah,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: I have a friend, a friend of a friend, but
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: her friend got ovarian cancer. And like you said, there's
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: no way to screen for it. There's no pap smears.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: There's no, nothing like that. And so by the time
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: they discover it, it's almost like it's a pancreatic cancer
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: where they don't find it until it's really become invasive.
• 35:22
  Speaker 19: It's late stage.
• 35:23
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 35:24
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: And so, and so they still have no screening. Is
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: that one of the things that they've that they're spending
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: their research money on is to find a way to
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: screen for it?
• 35:33
  Speaker 19: Screening and prevention. You know, if you can find it,
• 35:37
  Speaker 19: if you can prevent it or find it early, that's
• 35:41
  Speaker 19: really the key.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: And how do you find it early, though, if you
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: can't screen for it?
• 35:45
  Speaker 19: Well, knowledge is power. So really knowing your family history.
• 35:49
  Speaker 19: You know, it's the same genetic link as breast cancer.
• 35:52
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 35:53
  Speaker 19: So knowing your family history, knowing your body, you know,
• 35:56
  Speaker 19: there are some subtle symptoms like abdominal bloating, abdominal pain,
• 36:00
  Speaker 19: the feeling of fullness, urinary frequency and urgency. Now, those
• 36:04
  Speaker 19: are symptoms that most women, you know, have very often.
• 36:08
  Speaker 19: But if they're unusual for you and they occur every
• 36:11
  Speaker 19: day for a couple of weeks, you should seek medical attention.
• 36:13
  Speaker 17: OK.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: All right. Yeah, it's it is a particularly dastardly form
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: of the big C. And Of course, you know, I
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: advocate for this. I got to have my own bout
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: with a different kind of cancer, and it's no fun.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: So if we can raise money to find ways to
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: stop this, find ways to screen it, find ways to
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: treat it, which I'm thinking that's all what this money
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: is going to go for, then that's a wonderful thing.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: So how do people get involved? Because it's coming up
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: this weekend, and let's just say it's going to be
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: a perfect weekend to go take a walk through Griffith Park.
• 36:51
  Speaker 19: So they can register on our website, sandyovarian.org, or they
• 36:54
  Speaker 19: can register in person beginning at 7.30 a.m.
• 36:58
  Speaker 8: At Griffith Park on Sunday.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: You can just show up. And what is the website again?
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: I didn't quite hear that.

  Speaker 1: Sandyovarian.org.
• 37:06
  Speaker 17: Okay.

  Speaker 1: And, of course, you're raising money on it, Steph. So
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: is there a registration fee, or do you want people
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: to go and try to get some sponsors?
• 37:16
  Speaker 19: There's a registration fee, or people can actually, even if
• 37:20
  Speaker 19: they can't participate, they can donate on the website, too.
• 37:23
  Speaker 14: Okay.

• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Like a great cause you get to walk around griffith
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: park a beautiful place and you're raising money for something
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: that's really really important so If you don't have plans
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: or if you'd like to make plans, what a great
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: way to do that. SandyOvarian.org. All right, let's get back
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: to some of the stories coming out of the KFI
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: 24-hour newsroom. People with a so-called poly love life. now
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: have legal protections in one Southern California city.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: West Hollywood has passed an ordinance that would allow throuples, foursomes,
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: and other multi-partner relationships to register as domestic partners. The
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: designation would give folks involved certain rights, such as hospital
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: visitation and additional tenant protections. But it stops short of
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: granting the same rights as married couples or traditional domestic partners.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Supporters say families come in all shapes and sizes, and
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: that should be protected.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: Not policed. Jason Campadonia, KFI News.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: News brought to you by Pacific Coast Termite. The department
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: that oversees recycling and waste management in California, CalRecycle, has
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: revamped the amount of single-use plastic to be cut by
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: 2032 under the state's plastic law. The LA Times says
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: the number is now down to 250,000 tons, which is
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: a third of the 750,000 tons of single-use plastic originally
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: set in 2024. So by 2032, plastic producers and distributors
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: will need to have cut the amount of single-use plastic
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: sold in California by 25%. President Trump is appealing the
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: dismissal of his lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal.
• 39:30
  Speaker 9: The lawsuit accuses the Journal of defamation over its reporting
• 39:34
  Speaker 9: on a birthday letter sent to convicted sex offender Jeffrey
• 39:37
  Speaker 9: Epstein that bore Trump's signature. The appeal was filed less
• 39:41
  Speaker 9: than a week after the judge ruled Trump did not
• 39:43
  Speaker 9: plausibly allege the Journal had acted with actual malice when
• 39:46
  Speaker 9: publishing the story. and did not agree with Trump's argument
• 39:49
  Speaker 9: the paper should have withheld the story after he denied
• 39:52
  Speaker 9: he wrote the letter, ruling that would have violated the
• 39:55
  Speaker 9: First Amendment. The case was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it
• 39:58
  Speaker 9: cannot be refiled. Scott Carr, KFI News.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: A new study has found that there's a lot of
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: bugs in California, like 60,000 species.
• 40:07
  Speaker 20: The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County-led study says
• 40:11
  Speaker 20: scientists have described only about two-thirds of them. The study
• 40:14
  Speaker 20: is the first publication from the California Insect Barcode Initiative,
• 40:18
  Speaker 20: a multi-institution project that has used DNA barcoding on more
• 40:23
  Speaker 20: than one million insect specimens collected across the state. Researchers
• 40:27
  Speaker 20: found that insect communities differed from site to site, even
• 40:29
  Speaker 20: in places with similar climates and geography. The findings highlight
• 40:33
  Speaker 20: the diversity of insect life in California and the need
• 40:35
  Speaker 20: to conserve the wild places where the insects live. Debra Mark,
• 40:39
  Speaker 20: KFI News.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: And today is a pretty good day to take that
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: snack break.
• 40:44
  Speaker 21: Today is all about five minutes just for you and
• 40:47
  Speaker 21: maybe a cup of coffee, but definitely a donut because
• 40:50
  Speaker 21: it's National Donut Day. There are two each year. There
• 40:53
  Speaker 21: should be more. Statistically, it takes about five minutes to
• 40:56
  Speaker 21: eat one unless you're competitive. The Guinness World Record is
• 40:59
  Speaker 21: 33 seconds. Today, hit up a bakery case and look
• 41:03
  Speaker 21: for deals, bogos and baker's dozens, with or without sprinkles,
• 41:06
  Speaker 21: because more is good. Bree Tennis, KFI News.
• 41:11
  Speaker 12: I agree.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Competitive donut eating.
• 41:14
  Speaker 8: Sign me up.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Five minutes is about right, too. You go look at
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: that huge donut, but there's not a whole lot to it.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: So they're easy to eat fast. And then you're like,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: where did that donut go?
• 41:24
  Speaker 6: It just disappeared.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: You know what else it is along with Donut Day?
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: National Redhead Day. It's National Love Your Red Hair Day.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: I love my red hair today and every day. And
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: just like that, our time is done on Wake Up Call.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: We made it through another day. This is KFI and
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: KOST HD2 Los Angeles Orange County. You've been listening to
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Wake Up Call with me, Amy King. You can always
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: hear Wake Up Call 5 to 6 a.m. Monday through
