  Speaker 4: Everybody's wonderful here. And by the skin of my teeth,
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: we are.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: On the air.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Because, you know, I don't know.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: It's every time you go somewhere new, you have to
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: log in differently and all these different things.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: So I appreciate it.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: I know it took a lot of people here at
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: TCWN and Will to put make sure I had a
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: place because today. After we get off the air, I'm
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: heading over to the Aquarium of the Pacific right here
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: in the LBC for Senior Day. And I hope any
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: of you that got tickets already, because I think it's
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: sold out, that you come by and say, hi, I'll
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: have a table. We'll be giving away some things. And
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: it's just an opportunity for me to say hello to
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: you all. And that will be great coming up a
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: little bit later.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Kono, how are you? How was fishing?
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Fishing was great. What did you catch?
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: Just a trout, a rainbow trout. But many of them,
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: we caught, you know, our limit every day.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: And did you cook them and eat them? We do.
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: We try to go back to the cabin and a
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: lot of butter.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, and garlic. And cook them.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Because we used to just.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: Take them home and then have them in foil. And
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: then three years later, we go, oh, yeah, fish.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: There's nothing better, though, when you are fishing to clean them.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: And eat them right there. Grill them up in the skin.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Take the head off.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Take the stuff you don't want on the insides.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: A little foil, a little garlic, a little butter, a
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: little salt and pepper.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: You do get over your fear of bees when you're
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: cleaning fish. I'll tell you that.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah. There's just so many bees around you that you're like,
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: you've got to get this done.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: That's nature, man. I know. I know.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Everybody wants a piece of that nature, that good time feeling.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Where do you guys go? What lake do you guys
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: go to?
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: We go up to Bishop. I'm not going to tell
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: you the lake. No, I'm just kidding. It's at Sabrina.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Sabrina.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: That's where I used to. That's what I thought. That's
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: where I used to fish. Sabrina is great. It's a
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: little up there, but it's great. No service and nobody
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: can bother you.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: It's great.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: That's why you didn't return our calls. I had service
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: at that point. I had service, just not for you.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: And Amy King, how are you?
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: Doing great.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Doing great.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: A little sad that my Dodgers lost last night.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: That's, yeah. Well, I get the traffic over there regardless
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: if they win or lose.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: So what do you care?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: No, I do want them to win, of course. I do, too.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: But is that all you did this weekend? All you
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: had the energy to in the heat wave?
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: No, I planted some flowers. I had dinner at lunch
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: with my brother. Did a little cleaning.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: You planted in this heat?
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's just in a, it's on my balcony.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: It's in little planters. I was sitting in the shade
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: the whole time.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I see. Well, I'm talking about the flowers too.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: I'm keeping them well watered.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Okay. Excellent. Excellent.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: And what was I going to just ask you about
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: the weekend? Oh, well, I guess we can turn it
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: towards the new side of it. Are we looking at
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: another six, seven days of The high heat?
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: At least four. They're supposed to cool down some for
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: the weekend. Forecasters are saying it may extend, but then
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: I've also seen longer range forecasts that are showing, you know,
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: like 80s by Saturday, which.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Would be great.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Lovely. Lovely indeed.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: I still want it to cool off so I can
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: wear my cool Halloween sweaters.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you were looking for fall weather. It does not
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: seem like fall. And we will have to see when
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: that change is made. But I used to, you know,
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: I have deep memories rooted in my hair brain of
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: walking home from school as a young kid from, you know,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Maple Elementary School there in Newberry Park.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: And.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: The wind coming in and that, that certain change into
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: fall that was to me, Halloween meant Halloween was around
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: the corner and we were going to get free candy. And, uh,
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: I'm waiting for that. I'm waiting for that.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: You, when you walk out in the morning to go
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: to your car, you feel that little chill. It just,
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: it's a little subtle change, but we're not feeling.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: It this week.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: Sorry.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: And yeah. And then you start watching spooky stuff and,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Kid spooky stuff. What was that? Halloween Town or whatever
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: that I used to watch back in the day.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: You know, I just recently watched that because I was like,
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: I need to find some good Halloween stuff.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: That's not very good. No, but it's for when you're
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: a kid.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: So when you watch it now, you're watching it based
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: on from when you were younger. No, none of that
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: stuff holds up well. And then Hocus Pocus, of course,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: then Hocus Pocus 2.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: I love those. Come on. And I'm getting ready to
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: watch Nightmare Before Christmas.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: All the good ones.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: It's October.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: And last but never least, how are you doing, Anne?
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: I'm doing fantastic.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Keeping you on your toes this morning, my dear?
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Till the very end. Yes. We're all good. All righty.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Let's get on to Handle on the News. Lead story. Okay,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: so this came up yesterday.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: I saw it on my news feed that the U.S.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Air Force removed all of its bombers from the U.K. Now,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: this is all based on that story that we had
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: heard a few weeks ago or what have you when
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: the security incident took place there. You had five British men,
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: one U.K., Iranian, national last month. And the Pentagon spokesperson
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: came out and confirmed to CBS News just yesterday that
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: that any of our bombers are leaving. There's so much
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: going on that it's hard to keep track of what
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: and why. So it just seemed to, in this particular case,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: that there's a strong indication of sorts that Iran played
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: a part in what happened there.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Over that weekend. But the investigation's ongoing.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: So I'm assuming out of a multitude of caution, we
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: are out of there.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: Well, it's a miracle this flight made it at all.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: And now we're getting more details about the co-pilot on
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: that Dubai Air flight. So when Dubai Air hired this
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: co-pilot that was on the flight that came dangerously close
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: to crashing, It didn't contact Oman to vet his experience.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: He is from Oman, used to work for an airline
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: in Oman.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: And I was listening to you this morning on wake
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: up call and you had Jordana Miller on. And man,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: this seems like the easiest flag in the world.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: They've thrown up.
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: They banned him from flying because they decided that his
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: online habits and his interest in radical ideology. Were a
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: bad thing. So they grounded him, kept him from flying,
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: sent him to a de-radicalization program, and then gave him
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: a desk job. But they didn't flag the concerns more broadly.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: And so when Dubai Air went to hire him, they
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: did a background check and it didn't come up with this.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: And he's the one, of course, who allegedly stabbed the pilot.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: actually hacked at the pilot with.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: A with an axe because.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: All the the cockpits all have axes in them and
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: he got into that axe because they needed if they
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: need to like smash out a windshield or.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Under the guise of i'm gonna pray behind.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: You yeah he asked the pilot he said i gotta
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: go pray and the pilot said okay he reached back
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: apparently got the axe and attacked the pilot with it.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: At the neck and he protected his neck with his hands, smart.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: And, you know, fingers are no the better. But your
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: neck with two massive arteries on either side, probably a
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: great point to protect.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: This turns to doctors in Newsom. Doctors and health insurers
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: are filing a lawsuit. I think they filed this just
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: this past Friday, as a matter of fact. alleging that GovGav, Newsom,
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: and the legislature violated the law when they approved the
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: health care tax that could substantially increase insurance premiums for Californians.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: So in this lawsuit, the big claim is the recently
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: passed tax on health plan known as the Managed Care
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Organization Tax or MCO tax. that it's circumventing a 2024
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: initiative that limits health care taxes and directs revenue toward
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: specific purposes. So the California Medical Association and California Association
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: of Health Plans filed the complaint with the California Supreme Court.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: They said, you know, when Californians and the voters here, us, we,
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: the people, passed Proposition 35 and made it law, that
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: the state does not get to ignore that law simply.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Because following the law is inconvenient.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: All aboard, cost you more. Metrolink fares are going up
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: starting today. One-way passes are increasing in Average of 14 percent.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: The SoCal day pass is going up to $ 19 on weekdays,
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: $ 12 on weekends and holidays. Officials say they had to
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: do this because of increased operating and maintenance costs and
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: reduced ridership, along with declining state and federal funding.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: Provocative sexual suggestive ad. You heard Amy talking about this
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: earlier as well. And we'll get into it in the
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: seven o'clock hour going over this in the state of
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: campaigning in the new world here. But this sexually suggestive
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: ad for Steve Hilton running for governor, obviously. has gotten,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: you know, raised some eyebrows. It's got two young women
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: sitting on a bed. Maybe you heard about it with
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: an LGBTQ plus flag in the background. One urging the
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: other to try a new experience. I can't believe I'm
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: doing this, one woman says. And the other replies, don't
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: be nervous. It's not that bad. Just try it. Look,
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: give me your hand. Close your eyes and I'll do
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: all the work. And then she leads the hesitant woman's
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: hand to mark her ballot for Hilton rather than the
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Democrat Becerra. And the front runner of the race says. Wait,
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: who is now the front runner of the race, sorry,
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: bad read, but then says now lick it, referring to
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: the ballot envelope.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: The hell's wrong with us? Ah, okay.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: Well, we'll get into that a little bit more later
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: on and the state of affairs there.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: Well, first they tried to kill her and now they're
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: fighting to keep her alive. Krista Pike was sentenced to
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: death in Tennessee for her role in the brutal murder
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: and torture of another young woman in 1995. As you've
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: heard us talking about, they tried to execute her last week.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: But they put the phenylbarbitol just into her body. It
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: didn't hit her vein. And so it was enough to
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: knock her out, but it didn't kill her. So they
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: called off the execution, took her to the hospital. And
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: now they're fighting to keep her alive. She's on a
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: ventilator and is unconscious, apparently.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: It is a weird dichotomy, for lack of a better term,
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: to go kill.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Whoops, whoops, whoops, whoops, whoops. Safe, safe, safe, safe, safe, safe, safe.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: In that story, you'd think. I mean, as horrible as
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: it is, if you saw an animal suffering, wouldn't you
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: kill it? Like it was beyond repair. And it's only suffering.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: I know it's hard to do, but I had to
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: do that with a rat once. Somebody in the neighborhood
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: used a. One of those sticky traps. and it had
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: torn off its appendages and stuff. And I was, you know,
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: I used to raise rats. I liked little rats and
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: I had to take its life and then cry like
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: a baby. But I thought that was better than it suffering.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: And it sounds like she's, listen, I'm all for her suffering.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Sorry. Uh, maybe I'm a jerk for that, but I'm
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: all for her suffering. I just think, okay.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Uh, This is a sad story and scary as hell
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: when you think about the randomness and all the things
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: we have to deal with in life as it is,
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: let alone this tiny little bug. Family of a 13-year-old
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: boy from the LBC in Long Beach asking for help.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: He remains hospitalized, and it's this rare disease, and they've
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: linked it to West Nile virus, which means little Joseph–
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: who's bedridden now at Children's Hospital Los Angeles for three
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: weeks now, that this came from a mosquito bite.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: How scary.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: It's neurologic, super rare, but it's very real. It's all
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: hands on deck for this young boy, Joseph Vasquez, and
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: he's lost mobility in his legs. He's having difficulty lifting
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: his head. Doctors are unsure at this point if he's
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: even going to regain any of this mobility. The Vasquez
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: family has started a GoFundMe page, help pay for medical expenses.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: As of Sunday night, fundraiser raised, it was at $ 3, 000.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: So I'm not sure.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: I'm looking to see if there's a specific name for it,
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: should you feel moved to do it. But the boy's
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: name is Joseph Vasquez. And just keep in mind, there's
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: some bad people out there at times, and we'll put
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: fake ones up there. So make sure you read the
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: small print. All right, you want to try for one
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: more there, Amy?
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the plague may have surfaced in Russia. A laboratory
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: worker has died. at the Anti-Plague Research Institute. Apparently that's
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: in Siberia. There was some sort of a lab accident
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: and a lab worker is said to have died after
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: being diagnosed with a pneumonia of unknown origin. They've got
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: about 200 people quarantined apparently because of this. Although they
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: said there's no plague.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: No, of course not. Merely a flesh wound. I'm all right.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: Nobel medicine prize goes to three different scientists for research
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: into brain activity. Very little here with me this morning,
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: by the way, but good for them. So these three scientists,
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: they created this tool using light and it is.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: In its state going to.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Help unravel how our little gray matter, that stuff between
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: our ears works.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: So you have Peter.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Hedgeman, 71, Carl.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Disaroth.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: You want to get these names right. These people are brilliant.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: And George Nagel. And they've carried out this research into
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: a light gated ion channels and optogenetics. So crazy work.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: It's all about finding out certain mysteries in the brain.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: And it's based this one of the scientists here based
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: in Stanford University in California. And then there's one at
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Humboldt and there's one in Germany. And they were started.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: It all started when they were exploring how a single
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: cell type of green algae can swim toward light.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: And then they.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Discovered a particular protein that when illuminated by blue light,
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: opens a channel to create this electrical impulse. And that
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: puts the protein into other cells, makes them light sensitive.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: And through this ability to put it into a gene
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: and control that protein to create light controlled switch nerve cells.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: So it's almost like sort of not remote control, but
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: sort of being able to Navigate.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Around in there, which is pretty crazy. But fascinating.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: Victimized again. The woman known as Jane Doe at Cornell University,
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: who accused members of the Chi Phi fraternity of gang
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: raping her, is being targeted with threats, according to her lawyers.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: He says people have threatened to silence or harm her
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: if she doesn't withdraw the civil lawsuit. that alleges several
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: members of Cornell's Chi Phi fraternity drugged her and raped
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: her in 2024. The lawyer also said that it didn't
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: help that President Trump said the accused won't get a
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: fair shake after New York's Governor Kathy Hochul named New
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: York Attorney General Letitia James as a special prosecutor in
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: the case. Of course, Letitia James and President Trump have
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: a contentious relationship.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: To say the least.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, not really a relationship much at all. And she
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: went after him, and you know how he feels about
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: all of that. So, as you heard earlier on Wake
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Up Call with Amy King, Jackie bringing people together again.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: Of course, this beautiful famed American Eagle. And people gathered
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: up there in Big Bear on Saturday to say goodbye.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: And that's very sweet. Housings came out. That's really neat.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: Now, the area there, that's the first, I think that's,
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: isn't that the first snow park on your way up the.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Mountain that they had this at?
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: I am not 100% sure.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: I'm just thinking like I'm going up, uh, the hill.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Well, either way they got together, her unexpected passing left
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: fans around the world.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Grieving him and King. And, um, Oh, I grieved. Yeah,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: So it was, uh, uh, really sweet. Uh, it was a, uh,
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: you know, a lot of people coming together because they
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: had connected with all of this during, uh, During the stream,
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: being able to watch on the stream. I mean, you
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: go on there at four in the morning and it's
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: 64,000 people or something watching this live stream.
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: Waiting for those eggs to hatch, yeah.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: Beautiful thing.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: And that's in all the ugliness that we get these days.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: It's nice to see something like that kind of taking
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: people's energy and time.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, one more.
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: A nurse.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: Got a quick conviction. Nicole Linton was convicted on second-degree
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: murder charges after about three hours of jury deliberations in
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: downtown L.A. She was facing six counts of second-degree murder.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: Her attorney contended that Linton had suffered a seizure that
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: left her unable to stop her speeding Mercedes-Benz, but it
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: crashed immediately. In the intersection of La Brea and Slauson Avenues,
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: on August 4th, 2022, not only were six people killed,
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: nine others, including Linton, were injured. Nine vehicles were involved
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: in the crash. It was a nasty one.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: Construction is starting on what? An eight-foot MacArthur Park fence.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: It's going to begin next week. And this is the
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks. Obviously going out there,
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: it's this big green metal fence, which tends to be
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: what you see around some parks in Los Angeles.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: It's going to start in November.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: It's expected to be completed by spring of 2027. And
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: once finished, Gates Run the Park will close nightly from
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: 10 p.m.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: To 6 a.m.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: And restricting access. So the reason why I chuckle about
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: this a little bit is a couple of things. One,
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: this is dealing with a lot of the problems. This
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: is part of dealing with a lot of problems there
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: at MacArthur Park, including robberies and drug deals and a
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: lot of horrible things that go on at this place.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: And I'm not far from it. I don't live far
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: from MacArthur Park. And it used to be a beautiful,
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: beautiful park. I almost got arrested just outside of it
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: one time on live on the air here on KFI
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: back in the Tim and Neil show days. So it
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: holds a special place in my heart. Sunday, they're going
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: over all the things that happened there. 136 robberies and
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: aggravated assaults have been reported at MacArthur Park so far
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: this year. As we creep here into fourth quarter, that's.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: A lot of crap.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: What made me laugh is we're constantly told how. Fences
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: don't work. Walls don't work. And then, you know, when
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: it comes to the border, you can't defend your border.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: You can't put up a fence. You can't put up
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: a wall because that's horrible. And of course, they don't work.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: And then they're putting up this. It's going to be
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: eight feet in some areas, 11 feet in other areas
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: to protect it because there's crime.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I just thought that was pretty ridiculous. Either they work
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: or they don't work.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: PCH has claimed another life. You know, that stretch of
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: PCH in Malibu has long been a dangerous spot. We
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: had those four Pepperdine University students killed there. It's infamous
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: for the number of people who speed through the area.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: And on Saturday morning, a longtime chef at Nobu Malibu
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: was killed when a teenager was driving a Range Rover
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: slammed into the rear of the parked car shortly before
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: 7 o'clock. Chef Ryu Uchimaya was 51. He'd been working
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: at Nobu Malibu for 25 years and was apparently on
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: his way to work. He stopped along the side of
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: the PCH and was taking a nap before heading into
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: the restaurant.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: And was hit while he was still, still, right?
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: Yes, he was parked and he was apparently taking a
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: nap when this Range Rover slammed into him and driven by,
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: I believe, a 16 year old boy. And drugs are
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: not expected to be a cause here, but.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Just high speeds and unawareness of the shoulder.
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: I was watching a news report on it and they
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: were talking about how, and I'm not familiar with that
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: stretch of the road, but how it's very narrow and
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: people park there and it's just not a good idea.
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: That's with the Pepperdine students, whoever was speeding hit the
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: car and the car then crashed into the students. So
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: it's a narrow chunk of roadway and people go really
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: fast down.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: But parking's legal there that we know of?
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: I don't know that definitively.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know either.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: I just thought I'd throw that out there because that
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: may be another part of it. But surely being your
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: friendly neighborhood fork reporter, watching all the response to this
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: man's death and beloved shaft has been.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Overwhelming. Just the response that I've been seeing. All right. U.S.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: Marines arrested on suspicion of murder. Holy hell, brutal and
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: heinous death in Japan. So a U S service member
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: was arrested on suspicion of this murder and robbery of
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: this Japanese woman. Uh, and her body was discovered in
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: a hotel there in Okinawa. So, um, just horrible. They
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: described the alleged killing as a heinous incident, prompted the
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: Japanese government to lodge a protest with the, with the
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: United States here. So, um, very sad when these things,
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, you can't help, but when you are in
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: the service like that, or when you're a representative of
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: the United States, which you are, you put on the uniform,
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: that these things get tied back to us in a
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: very ugly way.
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: One more? Yeah. I spy a spy at LAX. The
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: FBI has arrested a suspected Chinese agent at LAX. She
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: had allegedly been surveilling the son of Taiwan's president. The
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: son lives here in the U.S. Heather Zhang lives in Irvine.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: She's a realtor, and she was getting on a plane
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: to Shanghai, China, when federal agents came along and cuffed
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: her on Sunday. She's being charged with acting as an
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: unregistered agent of a foreign government.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Not good, I would imagine.
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: Sounds like a spy movie, doesn't it?
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it kind of does. Well, all of those.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: And whenever you you remember that the there was another
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: one not too long ago, but these beautiful women out
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: of Russia or things like that where and they end
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: up spies using their beauty to get information and things.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: Every single time a spy story comes out, you go,
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: that'd make a good book. That'd make a good movie
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: because you know why?
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: They're spies. And that's what spies do to us. They
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: make us curious.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: All righty, let's go to the top of the hour
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: and we'll come back with some more information for you.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: So go nowhere. It's Neil Saavedra and the morning crew.
• 29:09
