  Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM 640. Wake Up Call with me,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Amy King. On demand on the iHeartRadio app. Tomorrow, I'm
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: going to keep the faith. I still have my Dodger
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: blue on. They can do it. But I will tell you,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you watch the game. The Brewers,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: they're a scrappy team. I think that's my best explanation.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're great, but they're scrappy. I kind of
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: like that about it. Of course, I like the Dodgers better, so.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Keep the faith.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll get there. Got a little chilly this morning.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: It was like chilly. We haven't had chilly for a
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: long time. Makes me want chilly.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: It was a little chilly.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: It was a little chilly, but it's going.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: To heat up.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Isn't it nice? I put on a sweater last night.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I'm so excited. Also excited because
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: we have a new team member this morning. Good morning, Mario. Hello, hello.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Good morning. Welcome to Wake Up Call.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Thank you for having me, you guys.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, of course. Now, Mario is filling the shoes of Kono.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I sure am.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Who moved on to bigger and better things.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Pretty big shoes.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Are you ready for the harassment that's going to start
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: at 6.05?
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I had a week to mentally prepare. Let's go.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Handel, you got it. He's back from vacation, by the way,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: in case you missed it yesterday. We got a lot
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: going on, so let's get right to it. Here's what's
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: ahead on Wake Up Call. High surf continues to pound
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the Newport Beach coastline, but officials say conditions have improved
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: enough that the Newport and Balboa Piers, along with the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: famed Wedge surfing area, have reopened. Protective sand berms remain
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: in place. Minor to moderate flooding is still possible through
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: this afternoon. The operators of a plastics manufacturing plant have
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: reached a settlement with Orange County over the chemical leak
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: over the Memorial Day holiday that forced about 50,000 people
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: out of their homes. The settlement includes $ 100 million for
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the residents and reimbursements for first responders, among other things.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Actress Selma Blair has been released from the hospital and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: released from custody after allegedly assaulting flight attendants on a
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: flight from L.A. to New York. TMZ says she also
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: tried to open an airplane door mid-flight on Sunday night.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: We're going to find out more about what happened and
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: maybe why with ABC's Peter Harlambous. That's coming up before
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: six this morning. The Saudis are trying to figure out
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: how Houthis fired missiles and were able to get them
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: through the Saudi defense system. ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: is also going to tell us about the ominous warning
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the Houthis have issued to air travelers. That's coming up
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: in about 20 minutes. And can AI solve a murder?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: ABC's Mike Dabusky says Claude tried, but did he succeed?
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: He's joining us in just a couple of minutes. Let's
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: get started with some of the stories coming out of
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the KFI 24-hour newsroom. The coastal flood advisory for most
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: of Southern California is set to expire this afternoon, but
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: some in Long Beach say it doesn't really matter.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: We've got a lot more.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Trouble ahead of us. VR has been battling since Hurricane
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Marie last month to keep his house safe from the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: pounding waves and beach erosion. He lives just a few
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: doors down from the red-tagged homes on the Long Beach Peninsula.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: It is going to keep happening and It is going
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: to get a lot worse because of king tides during Thanksgiving,
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: king tides during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and then
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: El Nino.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: He's not giving up, but he says ultimately it's not
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: in his control.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: If anybody out there believes that global warming is not
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: a phenomena, wake up, folks. It is happening.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: In Long Beach, Jason Atherton, KFI News.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: L.A.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Mayor Bass and City Councilwoman Nithya Raman are set to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: debate tonight, three weeks before the election in their run
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: for mayor. The one-hour televised debate starts at 7. It'll
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: be aired on NBC4 and Telemundo 52. It'll be done
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: in both English and Spanish. It will also stream on
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the station's websites, mobile apps, and local news streaming channels.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: The candidates are expected to discuss public safety, homelessness, and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: economic development, among other issues. Republican candidate for governor Steve
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Hilton has pitched his plan to improve education in California.
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: Hilton has released a long list of changes he would
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: make to California public schools if elected governor, including cell
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: phone bans for young children. He also wants to fire
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: underperforming teachers and principals, give parents school choice, halt funding
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: for community schools, and hold children back in the third
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: grade until they can read at grade level. Becerra, on
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: the other hand, has not made any big promises when
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: he has talked about education during his campaign. Becerra has
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: focused primarily on tuition-free community colleges, investing in early childhood education,
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: protecting students in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program,
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: and supporting teachers. Daniel Martindale, KFI News.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Six Flags has temporarily shut down nine roller coasters across
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the country after another fatal accident.
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: One person was killed after apparently being ejected from the
• 4:47
  Speaker 8: Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags over Georgia. Witnesses say
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: the man hit the ride, including his own car, several
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: times after being thrown out of his seat and was
• 4:55
  Speaker 8: apparently caught on a souvenir photo as he fell. Six
• 4:58
  Speaker 8: Flags Magic Mountain here in the Southland said last month
• 5:01
  Speaker 8: it was retiring its X2 coaster after two people in
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: July suffered brain hemorrhages in less than a week. Three
• 5:06
  Speaker 8: lawsuits alleging traumatic brain injuries were filed just last week,
• 5:09
  Speaker 8: and Six Flags also recently settled a wrongful death lawsuit
• 5:12
  Speaker 8: after one person was killed after riding the X2 in 2022.
• 5:16
  Speaker 8: Michael Crozier, KFI News.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: The Goliath coaster at Magic Mountain is one of those
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: coasters that was closed. The company says it was done
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: out of an abundance of caution. Let's say good morning
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to ABC's technology reporter, Mike Dabusky. So, Mike, We got AI,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: we've got Claude, and the big question is, can AI
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: solve a murder? And why did it try?
• 5:38
  Speaker 9: Well, it tried because it was going through a test,
• 5:41
  Speaker 9: from what we understand. This all happened at Anthropic. We're
• 5:45
  Speaker 9: talking about their Claude large language model. And we first
• 5:48
  Speaker 9: got wind of this sort of unusual incident last week.
• 5:51
  Speaker 9: But according to Anthropic, it actually happened over the summer.
• 5:54
  Speaker 9: So here's what happened. On July 18th at 1127 p.m.,
• 6:00
  Speaker 9: Philadelphia police got a tip about an unsolved murder. It
• 6:03
  Speaker 9: was submitted through the department's publicly accessible Web form, which
• 6:07
  Speaker 9: is called Philly unsolved murders dot com. And it came
• 6:10
  Speaker 9: from someone who claimed to have information about the case.
• 6:12
  Speaker 9: At the time, that tip was flagged as spam and
• 6:15
  Speaker 9: it never acted upon. Philly police say basically this went
• 6:18
  Speaker 9: immediately to the spam folder. No one ever even really
• 6:21
  Speaker 9: looked at it. Police say Anthropic discovered this incident on
• 6:24
  Speaker 9: September 28th, and it was part of this review process
• 6:27
  Speaker 9: that it started back in July following the OpenAI Hugging
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: Face incident that we've been talking about. Anthropic notified Philly
• 6:34
  Speaker 9: police on October 7th. They had a meeting with the
• 6:36
  Speaker 9: city the next day. And then last Friday, Anthropic published
• 6:40
  Speaker 9: its latest report detailing what it calls these unintended model actions. Specifically,
• 6:45
  Speaker 9: what happened here is that Anthropic was testing a model
• 6:48
  Speaker 9: called Claude Haiku 4.5. It was testing how that model
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: interacts with random websites. And that makes a fair amount
• 6:56
  Speaker 9: of sense, right? Because a lot of these modern generative
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: AI tools... They need to navigate the open web. They're
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: kind of billed as these personal assistants that can go
• 7:05
  Speaker 9: to a website and buy something for you or cancel
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: a subscription or stuff like that. They say that Claude
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: was told to not log in, create accounts or enter
• 7:14
  Speaker 9: personal data. However, they didn't say anything about filling out
• 7:17
  Speaker 9: a form, which is exactly what this online tip form was.
• 7:20
  Speaker 9: They encountered the Philadelphia Police Department tip form, and Claude
• 7:25
  Speaker 9: went at it, essentially trying to fill out its task,
• 7:28
  Speaker 9: trying to use this website for its intended function. Claude
• 7:31
  Speaker 9: wrote in this tip line, I may have information regarding
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: this case. I recall seeing someone matching the description in
• 7:37
  Speaker 9: the area during that time period. Please contact me if
• 7:40
  Speaker 9: this information is relevant. Notably, the tip in question did
• 7:43
  Speaker 9: not have a description of a suspect, so it seems
• 7:45
  Speaker 9: like Claude was hallucinating when it said, I have someone
• 7:48
  Speaker 9: matching the description because there was no description. It also
• 7:51
  Speaker 9: didn't submit a name or any contact information, so it
• 7:54
  Speaker 9: couldn't have been acted upon, even if this was treated
• 7:57
  Speaker 9: as a legitimate tip. Anthropix says Claude appears to have
• 8:00
  Speaker 9: only been producing example content for the task rather than
• 8:03
  Speaker 9: trying to mislead anyone to achieve a goal. And the
• 8:06
  Speaker 9: company has also now turned off live Internet access for
• 8:09
  Speaker 9: this type of test.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: OK, what does that mean when it says you turn
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: off live Internet access for this kind of test?
• 8:17
  Speaker 9: Well, it was playing around on the open Internet.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 8:19
  Speaker 9: So they're doing these tests again. They're trying to get
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: these things to be personal assistance. And in order to
• 8:25
  Speaker 9: do that, these systems, these agents, as they're known, need
• 8:29
  Speaker 9: to know how to navigate various Web sites. And the
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: easiest way to do that is not to set up
• 8:33
  Speaker 9: a dummy Web site. It's to actually let them loose
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: on the actual Internet and this is more of all the.
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: It's more of a closed model then. Well, they're trying
• 8:44
  Speaker 9: to make it be basically just like a human, right?
• 8:47
  Speaker 9: Like they're trying to make it like you or I
• 8:49
  Speaker 9: could go to the Internet and then just click around. However,
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: they're not really adept at that just yet. There's still
• 8:55
  Speaker 9: a lot of struggle points here. The only way they
• 8:56
  Speaker 9: can get better is if they actually navigate online. real
• 8:59
  Speaker 9: websites and and that is kind of why we're seeing
• 9:02
  Speaker 9: a lot of these tests connect to the internet or
• 9:05
  Speaker 9: attempt to connect to the internet in some way for
• 9:08
  Speaker 9: the anthropics part they say just as they try to
• 9:10
  Speaker 9: get their head around this and try to institute more
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: guardrails during testing they're going to stop themselves from doing
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: that which might impact their ability to test and develop
• 9:18
  Speaker 9: these models but also would kind of go some way
• 9:21
  Speaker 9: to addressing some of these weirder safety concerns that we've
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: been talking about.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Okay so here's a question for you So it finds
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and fills out this form. Did it just like, it
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: was just perusing the internet and found the application or
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the form randomly? Or did they say, hey, go find
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: something interesting and do it?
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: Or is it just- So these were randomly selected websites
• 9:47
  Speaker 9: from what we understand. So this might be an oversimplification
• 9:51
  Speaker 9: of the test, but it was essentially like, you know,
• 9:54
  Speaker 9: Claude Haiku 4.5, you know, had a desktop in front
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: of it, a virtual desktop. And Anthropic was basically just
• 10:02
  Speaker 9: flashing any random web page at it and seeing if
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: it could navigate it. And one of the random web
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: pages that came up happened to be this tip line
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: in Philadelphia. Didn't seem like it was an intentional thing.
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: But like when you say find a random website on
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: the Internet, you know, that's on the Internet and it's
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: meant to be right. It's a tip line and it
• 10:19
  Speaker 9: is kind of, you know, meant to be public facing
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: to some degree. It's also, you know, a testament to
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: the spam filtering on that particular tip line.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 10:27
  Speaker 9: If this is a public facing thing, you got to
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: be thinking about how people could potentially misuse it. And
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: a tip line is a pretty important thing. Philadelphia took
• 10:34
  Speaker 9: this pretty seriously. They actually put out their statement ahead
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: of Anthropix report on Friday, saying that in the interests
• 10:40
  Speaker 9: of full government transparency and accountability, we're going to release
• 10:43
  Speaker 9: this now. They say there's no indication this incident involved
• 10:46
  Speaker 9: any unauthorized access to police systems or compromise of department
• 10:50
  Speaker 9: data or anything like that. And then they pointed the
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: finger at Anthropic and the AI industry. They say that
• 10:56
  Speaker 9: the company must strengthen its safeguards to prevent similar incidents
• 10:59
  Speaker 9: from impacting city systems. And the two month delay between
• 11:03
  Speaker 9: detecting and reporting this incident to the city is unacceptable.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Sounds like Claude's grounded for now and we'll see what
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: happens next. Mike Dabusky, thanks so much for the information
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: and helping us sort this out because it's all very
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: confusing to my brain.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: No problem.
• 11:18
  Speaker 10: Take care.
• 11:19
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. President Trump has defended his
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: diesel fuel deal with Russia, despite criticism from Democrats and
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: some Republicans. Trump announced last week that Russia would immediately
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: release 300,000 tons of diesel to help ease a global
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: fuel shortage with more shipments to follow. Trump posted on
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Truth Social yesterday that he made the right choice for
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the American people. The president's playing his cards close to
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: his vest about his upcoming trip to Asia. He has
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: neither confirmed nor denied if he'll be meeting with North
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Korea's Kim Jong-un.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: That'll be an exciting one, but I get along with it.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Trump met with Kim Jong-un during his first term. Minnesota
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Congresswoman Ilhan Omar says she will not be silenced and
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: calls the search of her home in Washington, D.C. part
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of President Trump's intimidation campaign. House Democratic leaders have also
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: condemned the search yesterday, calling it an abuse of power
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: by the Trump administration. Federal agents searched the home as
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: part of an ongoing criminal investigation. Reports say it has
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: to do with immigration paperwork. Pope Leo has arrived at
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: a hospital in Rome where he is said to undergo
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: surgery to remove a growth from his lung.
• 12:28
  Speaker 12: The 71-year-old U.S.-born pontiff made the announcement Sunday during his
• 12:32
  Speaker 12: prayer at St.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Peter's Square.
• 12:34
  Speaker 12: Leo said doctors recently discovered a nodule on one of
• 12:37
  Speaker 12: his lungs and that it was detected at a very
• 12:39
  Speaker 12: early stage. The Pope said the doctors believed it was
• 12:42
  Speaker 12: best to intervene, so he's following their advice and undergoing
• 12:45
  Speaker 12: surgery to have it removed. Tammy Trujillo, KFI News.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Attorneys for convicted killer Krista Pike in Tennessee are trying
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: to have her sentence commuted since her execution didn't go
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: as planned. She's been released from the hospital and returned
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to prison. Legal expert Brian Buckmeyer says the government now
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: has to take another look at the case.
• 13:06
  Speaker 11: What is specifically going on with Krista Pike? What kind
• 13:08
  Speaker 11: of either physical or psychological damages might have occurred to her?
• 13:11
  Speaker 11: And what analysis are being brought to the table to
• 13:14
  Speaker 11: determine whether or not the death penalty should be used again?
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Pike was set to die from lethal injection last week,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: but was still conscious after two doses. And Barry Manilow
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: has canceled his latest Las Vegas performances after coming down
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: with bronchitis.
• 13:30
  Speaker 13: The 83-year-old returned to his residency Thursday following a six-week hiatus,
• 13:35
  Speaker 13: but cut Friday night's show short after just a few
• 13:37
  Speaker 13: songs and canceled Saturday's performance. A representative says Manilow had
• 13:41
  Speaker 13: a triumphant return before getting sick. The singer has been
• 13:45
  Speaker 13: undergoing treatment for lung cancer, which he disclosed last December,
• 13:49
  Speaker 13: and his residency has faced several previous postponements. Manilow has
• 13:53
  Speaker 13: not publicly commented on the latest cancellations. Mark Mayfield, KFI News.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I'll admit it. I'm a Maniloonie. Love me some Barry Manilow.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I hope he gets better.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Poor guy. And he's recovering from lung cancer.
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: I know.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: And 83 and still performing.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: But you know what? Maybe that's what keeps him going.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: So we certainly wish him well. When we come back,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: the Saudis are trying to figure out how Houthi-fired missiles
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: got through their defense systems. ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: is also going to tell us about the ominous warning
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the Houthis have issued to air travelers and the latest
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: attacks because they're continuing.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: AM 640.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Good morning. I'm Amy King. Here's what we're following in
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the KFI 24-hour newsroom. The Newport and Balboa piers have
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: reopened as conditions improve in Newport Beach. This following the
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: coastline being pounded by remnants of what was once Hurricane Rachel.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: The surfing spot The Wedge also reopened. Residents are still
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: being urged to use extreme caution in the area. Hundreds
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: of Orange County workers expected to walk off the job
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and begin a strike against the county unless a last-minute
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: contract agreement is reached. The workers' union says a strike
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: could cause delays to road and flood channel maintenance, landfill operation,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: parks and beach maintenance and other services. The county says
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: contingency plans are in place to maintain essential services. NASA's
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Mars Perseverance rover has set an interplanetary record. The rover
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: is operated by JPL at Caltech. NASA says the rover
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: has traveled 28.1 miles on the surface of Mars. That's
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: the longest distance ever traveled by a vehicle on another world.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: It broke the record set by NASA's Opportunity rover, which
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: explored Mars from 2004 to 2018. 28 miles. Doesn't sound
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: like a big deal, but hey, it's on another planet.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Jordan,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: more attacks have happened. Can you fill us in on
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: the latest in Saudi Arabia?
• 16:01
  Speaker 10: Absolutely. The Iranian-backed Houthis have fired over the weekend a
• 16:07
  Speaker 10: ballistic missile and drone strike on the King Khalid International Airport.
• 16:14
  Speaker 10: One strike on Saturday killed 12 people, including one American,
• 16:17
  Speaker 10: and a strike on Sunday killed another person. In total,
• 16:23
  Speaker 10: over 300 people injured. This is the most deadly, the
• 16:28
  Speaker 10: deadliest strike between the Houthis and the Saudis in several weeks.
• 16:33
  Speaker 10: And the Saudis today are doing two things. First of all,
• 16:36
  Speaker 10: they've opened an investigation into why their air defense system failed,
• 16:41
  Speaker 10: failed to detect the ballistic missiles and the drones and
• 16:45
  Speaker 10: failed to intercept them on time. The airport now closed,
• 16:50
  Speaker 10: as well as several other airports, by the way, that
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: the Houthis have attacked as well. And the second thing
• 16:57
  Speaker 10: they're doing is they're striking back today and they're hitting
• 17:01
  Speaker 10: areas in Yemen that are controlled by the Houthis and
• 17:04
  Speaker 10: northwest of the Hodeidah port, parts of Sana'a and other
• 17:09
  Speaker 10: parts of Yemen that border with Saudi Arabia. You know,
• 17:14
  Speaker 10: the Saudis are incredibly vulnerable. And I think this episode
• 17:19
  Speaker 10: over the weekend shows the limits of the United States
• 17:24
  Speaker 10: and the West to protect the Saudis. They obviously need
• 17:27
  Speaker 10: help and they're just not getting enough of it.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: And the U.S. a couple of weeks ago had said
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: that they probably, I think Trump had said, oh, the
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Saudis are fine. They can take care of themselves. But
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: then I heard some rumblings that they might be rethinking that.
• 17:41
  Speaker 10: The president over the weekend said he is rethinking the
• 17:44
  Speaker 10: American role in this fight between the Saudis and the Houthis.
• 17:48
  Speaker 10: And remember, it is connected to the larger war that
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: the United States is in, Because the Houthis are backed
• 17:55
  Speaker 10: and funded and directed by Iran. And Iran is essentially
• 17:59
  Speaker 10: using the Houthis to keep pressure on the West by
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: hitting an important ally like the Saudis and further disrupting
• 18:09
  Speaker 10: oil and gas markets. And remember, the Houthis now are
• 18:13
  Speaker 10: pretty much in control of the Bab al-Mandab Strait. That's
• 18:16
  Speaker 10: the second important waterway here in the region where about 10%
• 18:20
  Speaker 10: of global oil supplies pass. So they are really ready
• 18:26
  Speaker 10: to close it to everybody if there is renewed fighting.
• 18:30
  Speaker 10: And I think that's why the president is in a very,
• 18:33
  Speaker 10: very difficult position. position, because if he steps in to
• 18:37
  Speaker 10: help defend the Saudis, it could draw Iran into, you know,
• 18:43
  Speaker 10: fighting the United States again directly, perhaps attacking here in Israel.
• 18:47
  Speaker 10: And it could, again, break open into, you know, real
• 18:52
  Speaker 10: another real kinetic or military phase of the war. And
• 18:55
  Speaker 10: I'm not sure the president wants that before the midterm election.
• 18:59
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: And then, There was also a very ominous warning put
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: out by the Houthis following these attacks and following the
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: attack on the airport.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: What was that?
• 19:12
  Speaker 10: Well, I mean, the Houthis have essentially said that they
• 19:15
  Speaker 10: will go after, you know, the Saudis and other targets.
• 19:22
  Speaker 10: You know, and that's again, that's the way the Iranians
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: use the Houthis in their in their war against the West.
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: And in their war against the United States. And remember,
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: the Houthis are firing on a civilian target. Can you
• 19:39
  Speaker 10: imagine LAX coming under attack by an enemy? This is
• 19:43
  Speaker 10: not a military site. It's not a base. You know,
• 19:47
  Speaker 10: there are no soldiers there that are fighting there. Houthis
• 19:51
  Speaker 10: in any way. So this is really a kind of
• 19:55
  Speaker 10: terrorist attack to keep hitting a civilian airport. Yeah.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Okay. Well, we will continue to watch it. And like
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: you said, we're kind of in a precarious spot because
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: how much do you respond and how much does that
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: make things worse and Or make things better. So we'll
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: continue to watch it. ABC's Jordana Miller, thank you so
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: much for the information.
• 20:14
  Speaker 12: Thanks.
• 20:15
  Speaker 10: Talk soon, guys.

• 20:37
  Speaker 14: the north enhancing offshore winds and driving temperatures for some
• 20:40

• 20:43
  Speaker 14: average by Friday. Mark Rahner, KFI News.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Got another water main break. This one has caused some
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: street damage in South L.A. The break was reported just
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: before 3 this morning in the Vermont Knolls neighborhood. Took
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: a few hours for utility crews to shut off the water.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: The general membership of the Los Angeles Continuum of Care
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: is expected to meet this afternoon to potentially designate L.A.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: County as the lead agency overseeing the region's homelessness response.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: The vote was originally scheduled for Friday. It was delayed
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: because organizers weren't ready for the big crowd that wanted
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: to weigh in on the issue. Mayor Bass and four
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: city council members say the city should retain a role
• 21:23

  Speaker 1: A lawmaker from the Inland Empire says his recently signed
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: bill to promote expedited resolutions to recover from property damage
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: from wildfires will help reduce unnecessary government bureaucracy that might
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: otherwise mire homeowners in long delays. Marietta Republican Senator Kelly
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Sayarto says... When a wildfire destroys a home or a neighborhood,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: families should be able to focus on rebuilding their homes
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: and their lives, not having to navigate unnecessary government bureaucracy.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Sayarto introduced a Senate bill, 904, in the most recent
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: legislative session. It was signed into law by Governor Newsom
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: last month. A mail carrier accused of beating a white
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: peacock nicknamed Sugar in Pasadena has been charged with animal cruelty.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Sharanjeet Singh says, allegedly attacked the bird with a stick
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: in August. It was caught on video. Sugar suffered swelling
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: but no broken bones and has since been relocated to
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: a ranch in Northern California. Singh is due in court
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: next month. And a new report finds the 2026 FIFA
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: World Cup didn't deliver the economic boost to hotels in L.A.

• 22:51
  Speaker 15: impact as extremely negative. Nearly three-quarters of hotels reported holding
• 22:56
  Speaker 15: flat or cutting staff. The labor union, representing 28,000 hotel
• 23:00
  Speaker 15: workers in Southern California, reported nearly 20% of its members

  Speaker 15: year because of declines in tourism. Debra Mark, KFI News.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Still to come on Wake Up Call, we're going to
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: be talking about actress Selma Blair. You know, she was
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: arrested after attacking a couple of flight attendants, allegedly on
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: a flight. And then allegedly kicking a police officer and

  Speaker 1: man fell from the Goliath roller coaster. Six Flags Magic
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Mountain and other Six Flags parks have closed their Goliath
• 24:15

• 25:23
  Speaker 1: rescheduled for Friday for a couple in Arcadia charged with
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: conspiracy to commit child abuse. The charges are in connection
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: with allegations that young children born through surrogates were beaten
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: and mistreated at their mansion. The couple pleaded not guilty
• 25:39

  Speaker 1: Hollywood studios are looking to the internet for new talent
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: and new ideas.
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: Sequels and new versions still bring some success for Hollywood
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: with Spider-Man Brand New Day and The Odyssey, the two

• 26:13
  Speaker 8: original movie to make more than half a billion at
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: the box office since 2020. Both now have deals with
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: major studios for tens of millions. At least five horror
• 26:21
  Speaker 8: movies based on YouTube short films and creepypasta content are
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: in development with big names linked to them, including Steven

• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Inflation has barely budged in the past five years, but
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: ABC's Sherry Preston says even so, it's been taking a
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: toll on American families.
• 26:37
  Speaker 14: According to Moody's Analytics, the typical American household is spending $ 230.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: More per month than they were a year ago for
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: the exact same things. Moody's says people are spending $ 60
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: a month more on gas. Groceries are just over $ 100
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: more per month. And housing costs are up $ 300 compared
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: to five years ago. And as long as we're talking
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: about money, let's get in your business. And this morning,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: we're talking to Bloomberg's Dan Schwartzman. Good morning, Dan.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Amy, and I am responsible for Yamamoto yesterday.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: I told my friend the guy's unhittable in the postseason.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: What happens? I apologize.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: You've got to be careful because sometimes you jinx it.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: I did. I absolutely jinxed it yesterday.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Thanks, Dan.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I apologize.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Hopefully he'll do better next time. Okay, good. We were
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: talking about money and groceries and prices going up, and
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: apparently that's affecting national grocers because one of them is
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: laying off a bunch of people.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: That's correct.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: The nation's largest grocer, Amy Kroger, is cutting 3,000 corporate
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: jobs in one of the biggest round of layoffs in
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: the company's 143-year history. The layoffs represent 37% of office staff,
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: and the company says the cuts will be carried out
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: over the next three years. A memo from Kroger's CEO
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: shows the cuts are being made to reduce costs and
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: to invest more in frontline employees. In addition to its
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: namesake stores, Kroger operates under many store banners. If you
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: look around pretty much any place in America, whatever your
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: store is, like Ralph's, it's owned by Kroger's.
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: It's interesting that it's all at the corporate level, which,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't necessarily disagree with. I think sometimes
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: we've got too many levels of bureaucracy.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: And AI has taken over so many of the roles, though,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: by the way.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Ah, okay.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Think about what it can do.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. Apple's introducing a bunch of new products.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is always an exciting time for those techies.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Apple's rolling out a bunch of new products and approved
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: older ones this week. The iPhone maker's holding a smart
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: home products event later today. Later this month, the company
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: is planning to launch a touchscreen MacBook and a new
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: iPad mini. On Friday, pre-orders begin for the new foldable
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: iPhone Duo, which represents the biggest design change in the
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: history of Apple's most profitable device. So it's a big
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: week for those who love Apple products.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, our tech reporter Rich DeMuro has been playing with
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: that foldable phone. He said it's pretty impressive. spending in
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: space has hit a new milestone.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: Investment in the space economy, Amy, is on track to
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: exceed $ 100 billion for the first time ever in a
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: given year in 2026. That's due to SpaceX's IPO, defense spending,
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: and space infrastructure. That's according to a new analysis of
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: third quarter spending from Space Capital, which is an investment firm.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: The report says that high demand for space assets from
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: the U.S. government's Defense Department and sovereign nations is is
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: also bolstering investment, so $ 100 billion on space.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: So it's private and public money.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, and SpaceX is going to be phasing out
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: that big rocket. Was it the Falcon or something? And
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: because of that, people are starting to figure out, like,
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: what's the next hot space? company that's going to kind
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: of take over that role?
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Wells Fargo had a good quarter.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: They did.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: They reported third quarter earnings that topped Wall Street estimates
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: as consumers and businesses held steady, keeping loan losses in check. Now,
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: net income for the quarter rose to $ 5. 95 billion, with
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: revenue climbing to $ 21.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: 9 billion.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Provisions for credit losses, which totaled a billion dollars, and
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: net charge-offs. Those are like the loans the bank deems uncollectible.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Those are $ 983 million. As bad as both numbers sound,
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: they were better than the average estimate of analysts surveyed
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: by Bloomberg. So Wells Fargo making investors happy.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: That's amazing how big they are, that they can have
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: almost a billion dollars in bad loans and still be okay.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: Is that amazing? It's like, oh, only a billion. How
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: about that? For the quarter, by the way.
• 30:29
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: Which means times four, you're talking $ 4 billion a year.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.

  Speaker 1: for disability rights and representation in Hollywood. A Cause of
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Death has not been released, but TMZ reports that it
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: was a suicide.
• 32:33
  Speaker 14: R.J.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Mitty was 34. The Dodgers find themselves in a big
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: hole after two games of the NLCS.

  Speaker 1: Lost Game 2 in Milwaukee yesterday 7-4. Game three is
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: back in L.A. tomorrow night. Actually, it's tomorrow afternoon. The
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Dodgers are going for a World Series three-peat. The Brewers
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: have never won a World Series. We're just minutes away
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: from a handle on the news this morning. Another day
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: of attacks on Saudi Arabia by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: We'll get the latest on that. Let's say good morning
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: now to ABC's Peter Haralambous. Okay, so.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Actress Selma Blair has been released from the hospital. She's
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: been released from custody. and is charged with attacking flight
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: attendants and more on a plane from LA to New York.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Can you give us the latest?
• 33:28
  Speaker 10: That's exactly right.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: She's facing simultaneous federal and state charges stemming from this incident.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: It all unfolded yesterday on a flight from Los Angeles
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: to New York. We heard air traffic control audio reporting
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: about an incident mid-flight in which one of these passengers,
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: later revealed to be Selma Blair, became allegedly abusive, injured
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: two flight attendants biting one, resulting in some bite marks
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: and leaving another with a bloody nose. She also appeared
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: to have bashed her head during that incident. It's unclear
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: what exactly triggered this all, but once she got on
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: the ground, she could be heard screaming in audio obtained
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: by TMZ, later kicking a police officer multiple times while
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: being moved on a stretcher, and also kicking a nurse
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: allegedly at the hospital as well. In court, her lawyers
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: blame this investigation She missed multiple doses of medication related
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: to her multiple sclerosis, controlled neurological symptoms, that she was
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: having a demanding schedule, and that she hit her head
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: as well. The combination of those three factors, they say,
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: led to this incident, which again, they described as a
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: medical emergency.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: OK, so, well, isn't there some responsibility for taking your meds?
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and the judge, to a certain degree,
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: was not really sympathetic to these arguments in court yesterday.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: The her lawyer basically arguing that, one, this was kind
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: of an accident and also pointing to her extensive body
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: of work to say that, you know, she would never
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: have intentionally done this. The judge seemingly shooting that down
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: yesterday in Queens County Court, saying, quote, Miss Blair, should
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: not get special treatment because she's a celebrity. The judge
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: ultimately setting a $ 20, 000 cash bail. She's due back in
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: court in January. And then because generally incidents on flights
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: are regulated by the federal government, she's also likely to
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: face federal charges. We've seen some misadventures. Delania's charges is
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: filed thus far and nothing formally on the docket just yet. But,
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: you know, pretty serious consequences stemming from this incident. If
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: she's found guilty of those two state level assault charges,
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: those typically come with two to seven years behind bars.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: Though it appears or seems at least unlikely that you
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: would get a sentence that stiff.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just going to ask about that. I mean,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: because this is doing something like this on a plane.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: That's that's you don't mess with that.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And Delta, for their part, put out a statement
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: yesterday basically saying that they have no tolerance for passengers
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: being physically abusive towards flight attendants. We're still trying to
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: figure out what exactly happened on the plane itself. She
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: was reportedly restrained. There was some reports suggesting that she
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: might have tried to open one of the doors to
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: the plane. We're trying to run down those details at
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: this point, but this appears to have been You know,
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: a scary mid-flight incident in a way that only got
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: worse as the day progressed in terms of not only
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: allegedly injuring those two flight attendants, one of whom had
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: to go to the hospital, but also severely injuring a
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: police officer who also got treated at the hospital. And
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: one of the nurses who was supposed to be taking
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: care of her, four people, two of whom later sent
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: to the hospital. OK.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: ABC's Peter Haralambos. And she's in court then in January.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: So we'll we'll check back in with you then.
• 36:45
  Speaker 10: That sounds great.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll talk to you before then. Thank you, Peter.
• 36:48
  Speaker 10: Thanks so much, Amy. All right.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
• 36:52

• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Efforts to replace the aging airport have been in the

• 37:39
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and a new parking structure. Oh,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: and there's indoor baggage claim now. That was one of
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: the things I absolutely used to love about the Burbank
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Airport was the outdoor baggage claim. It was such like
• 37:49
