  Speaker 3: KFI Radio, this is Mission Control Houston. Please call station
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: for a voice check.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Station, this is Amy King with KFI's wake-up call. How
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: do you hear me?
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I can hear you loud and clear. It's time for
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: your morning wake-up call.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: The Eagle has landed, and its name is Amy King.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Here's Amy King.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: It's 5 o'clock straight up. This is your wake-up call
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: for Friday, November 6th. I'm Amy King. We're live everywhere
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. Be sure to subscribe to Wake
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Up Call and you'd never miss an episode of Wake
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Up Call. Because what do we do? We get you
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: ready for your workday. Let you know what happened while
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you were asleep. And hopefully have a little bit of fun, too.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: So glad that you're along for the ride this Friday morning.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Here's what's ahead on Wake Up Call. Nithya Raman will
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: be the next mayor of Los Angeles. Incumbent Mayor Bass
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: conceded defeat yesterday after seeing the numbers that showed Raman's
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: lead could not be overcome. As the vote count continues,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Raman increased her lead over Bass to a margin of
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: more than 47,000 votes yesterday afternoon. Raman will be sworn
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: in next month. Governor Newsom has shut down death row
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: in the state of California, announcing that he is commuting
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the sentences of all 548 people sentenced to die. Newsom
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: says it was one of his most difficult decisions because
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: he knows how it affects the families. But he firmly
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: believes that state-sanctioned killing is incompatible with California's values. California
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: hasn't executed anyone since 2006. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: says efforts to impeach him will not work. Hegseth made
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the comments in a video posted on X a day
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: after Kentucky Republican Senator Tom Massey announced plans to introduce
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: articles of impeachment against Hegseth. ABC's Stephen Portnoy is going
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to join us to tell us whether the talk of
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: an impeachment for Hegseth is a bunch of bluster or
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: if Hegseth's job really is in jeopardy. It is that
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: time of the year. The host of Home on KFI,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Dean Sharp, is going to join us at 520 to
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: tell us what we should be doing now to get
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: our yards winter ready. Get your pruning shears out. Sarah Paulson,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian, and Niecy Nash are back together because all's fair.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: ABC's Will Gans is going to join us a little
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: bit later on Wake Up Call to tell us about that.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: And also a new documentary, sure to give you a
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: good belly laugh. And couldn't we all use a good
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: laugh right now? Also something that's become all the rage
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: because of another documentary, You Can See Everything. Have you
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: seen it yet? Well, anyway, this thing is all the rage,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and I can tell you that it's delicious. I'll tell
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you what it is, and it's coming up a little
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: bit later on Wake Up Call. Let's get started with
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: some of the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: L.A.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Mayor-elect... Nithya Raman says she's already working with ousted Mayor
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Karen Bass for a smooth transition to the city's top
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: office next month. Raman says it's one of the shortest
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: transitions anywhere in the country.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: For a city of four million people where the challenges
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: are absolutely immense, that transition is going to be absolutely critical.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Raman is the first challenger to defeat an incumbent mayor
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: in L.A. since 2005 when James Hahn was ousted by
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Antonio Villaraigosa. The next governor of California says there are
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: some big things he plans to do when he takes office.
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: I made it very clear I was going to be
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: the health care governor for California. I made it very
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: clear that I want California to be the backstop for
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: all families who need access to health care.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Becerra also promised during his first press conference since the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: election that he will lower the cost of living and
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: focus on affordable housing. And without giving any specifics, he
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: said tax cuts for the middle class are on the table.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: But you want me to make a commitment without knowing
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: what the budget will be, without knowing where the votes are?
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to play you that game.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Becerra says he'll also tackle rising energy and gas prices.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Becerra will be sworn into office in January. The union
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: representing L.A. 's Fire Department firefighters has thanked voters for
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: supporting Measure FD. It'll allow a half-cent sales tax increase
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to benefit the department. Figures released by the L.A. County
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Registrar's Office show it's leading 54 to 46 percent. The
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: measure will bump up the sales tax in the city
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: from 10.25 to 10.75 percent. And voters in Culver City
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: have apparently said no to letting 16 and 17 year
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: olds vote in the city and school district elections. As
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: of last night, measure YV was trailing by nearly 1400 votes.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: The no side has more than 55 percent of the vote.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Let's say good morning to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. So, Stephen,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: with the Democrats about to take control of both houses
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: of Congress, it's actually a Republican who's come forward calling in.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's proverbial head.
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: And it's Republican Thomas Massey of Kentucky who was primaried
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: and will be leaving the Congress at the end of
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: the year, January 3rd to be specific. And he's got
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: these articles of impeachment that he's prepared to put on
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: the floor and force a confrontation, of course, over the
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: course of the next.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Week or so.
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: Yesterday, Pete Hegseth put out a social media video where
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: he's standing outside the Defense Department headquarters at the Pentagon.
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: And he calls Massey a disgruntled, defeated congressman and the
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: impeachment effort a sham. And yesterday the president was asked
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: in the Oval Office about Pete Hegseth, saying that he
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: believes his defense secretary has done a fantastic job. This
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: amid the speculation that that job may be in jeopardy,
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: as this week the vice president said on social media
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: that the war was the reason that so many voters
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: who backed Trump two years ago voted for Democrats to
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: lead the Congress. And the president telling my colleague Jonathan
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: Karl that he has every intention to keep Hegseth, while
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: also acknowledging the calls he's getting from his own allies
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: to make a change, saying, I get these calls, I
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: don't understand why. And this morning, the White House posts
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: on social media a video, a mashup, montage, if you will,
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: of various statements Hegseth has made, stylized with footage of
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: warfighting and dramatic music, all to demonstrate, essentially, how the
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: White House is backing Hegseth.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Okay. So, because I had heard rumblings yesterday, it sounds
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: like you had too, that maybe the president was wavering
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: on Hegseth, but that doesn't sound like the case at
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: this point.
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: Well, look, I mean, the Republican Party suffered a dramatic
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: defeat across the board, all over the country. There is
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: really very little that the GOP can point to and say, aha,
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: we won here. They really didn't. I think they may
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: have flipped maybe two or three House seats, but on
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: the whole, More than 40 seats have flipped to the
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: Democrats in the House. They've lost at least seven, as
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: many as nine seats in the Senate. And, you know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: they're looking around to say, you know, should somebody be
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: held accountable here? The vice president saying that the war
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: was the reason. And yet the president, who ultimately makes
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: the decision, says that he wouldn't have done anything differently.
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: And he believes that Pete Hegseth is doing, in his words,
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: a fantastic job. So, yes, there are rumblings here in Washington, D.C.,
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: that Hegseth ought to go. But the only person who
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: can decide that is the president.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Well, unless he's impeached and then gets the two thirds
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: majority in the Senate, right?
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: That's a fair point. And that's why this nasty effort
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: will be closely watched. It would take a handful of
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: Republicans to join with him and all of the Democrats
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: to force a trial in the Senate where, of course,
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: Republicans still have control. And you're exactly right, Amy, to
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: note it would take 67 votes in the Senate to
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: convict Hegseth of whatever allegation is made against him and
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: then lead to his ouster from office.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: So if he was, with the whole impeachment thing, if
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: he was convicted, then he would be removed?
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: That is the likely outcome.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: I mean, ultimately, we've gone through this a few times
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: over the last quarter century or so, but the way
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: it would work is the House would pass articles of impeachment.
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: It would trigger a trial in the Senate. The Senate
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: would then vote whether to convict or acquit, and if convicted,
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: which has only happened in the case, I think, of
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: federal judges over the 250-odd years we've had a constitution.
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: It's less than that, actually, but, you know, the time
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: we've had a constitution. And ultimately, the penalty phase of
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: a Senate trial would result in the removal from office
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: and likely a prohibition on ever serving in federal office again.
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: No president has ever been removed from office under this process,
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: even though there have been impeachment trials four times.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: And they'll probably be trying again very soon. ABC's Stephen Portnoy,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: thanks again.
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: You bet.
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Because there's all kinds of rumblings and they're saying lawyer up.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: It's going to be so interesting to watch all this
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: and see how it all plays out once the new
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Congress is sworn in. Let's get back to some of
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the stories coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. The
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: AI stock sell-off has given Wall Street its worst day
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: since President Trump's tariff announcements last year. ABC's Elizabeth Schulze
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: says all the gains made post-election day are gone because
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: of concerns about data center moratoriums.
• 10:04
  Speaker 9: And now investors in the stock market are looking at
• 10:06
  Speaker 9: this and saying, what does this mean for these sites
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: that we're going to get built?
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: Does this mean there will be new regulations in place?
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: She says the boom in spending on AI could slow,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: and investors are worried about that. Data center hate may
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: be bipartisan, but Democratic election wins could have a huge
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: impact on AI.
• 10:25
  Speaker 10: Three key states elected Democratic governors who campaigned on pausing
• 10:28
  Speaker 10: or stopping data centers. Keisha Lance Bonhams in Georgia promised
• 10:31
  Speaker 10: a moratorium for new data center construction. Amy Acton in
• 10:34
  Speaker 10: Ohio was called for an immediate conditional moratorium for the
• 10:37
  Speaker 10: state where Meta and Amazon had $ 3 billion plans for
• 10:40
  Speaker 10: data centers. And Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa in Texas also promised
• 10:43
  Speaker 10: a moratorium in the state where a quarter of the
• 10:45
  Speaker 10: entire tech industry had plans for data centers. Elon Musk
• 10:49
  Speaker 10: moved Tesla, SpaceX, and X to Texas with plans of
• 10:52
  Speaker 10: AI infrastructure. He says online data centers in space are
• 10:55
  Speaker 10: looking pretty appealing right now. Michael Crozier, KFI News.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: A three-year-old boy in New Jersey is in critical but
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: stable condition after shooting himself in the face. His father
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: is now facing charges. Cumberland County prosecutors say the toddler...
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: found the gun inside a bag on a bedroom floor
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: around 3 a.m. Wednesday while his parents were sleeping. Police
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: say the 32-year-old father rushed his son to a hospital
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and told officers he forgot to secure three handguns. He's
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: been charged with second-degree child endangerment. A Mexican judge who
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: allegedly took $ 2 million to release drug traffickers has been busted.
• 11:36
  Speaker 9: The U.S.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Plans to extradite 49-year-old Judge Luis Benitez Alcantara of Mexico
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: City after his arrest Sunday in Colombia. First Assistant U.S.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Attorney Bill Asseli says authorities took note when Benitez granted
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: bond and ordered the release of Canadian drug trafficker Andrew Clark,
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: second-in-command to an ex-Olympic snowboarder charged with leading a transnational
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: cocaine trafficking operation, murder, and attempted murder.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: This just shows the level of commitment that the Department
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: of Justice has to going after these drug traffickers, regardless
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: of where they are, and the people that enable them
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: and help them.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Benitez is charged with nine counts of being an accessory
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: after the fact and faces up to 15 years in
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: federal prison on each count. Mark Rahner, KFI News.

• 12:18
  Speaker 1: love a good French press coffee. are being recalled because
• 12:21

• 12:25
  Speaker 1: some cases, if a metal spoon is being used to
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: stir the coffee, that can cause the carafe to break.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: 48 burn injuries have been blamed on the flaw. The
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: company says customers should stop using the 8 and 12
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: cup models. They're not offering a replacement or a refund,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: but customers are being offered a plastic stirring spoon. And

• 14:00
  Speaker 1: in L.A., The dark-colored four-door sedan was the second vehicle
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: to hit the child on South Figueroa near 77th around
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: 10 Wednesday night. The boy apparently had run out into
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the street. The other car that hit him remained on
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the scene. The state's 2nd District Court of Appeals has
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: backed a Superior Court judge's decision to reject Warner Bros.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: efforts to have a lawsuit over the hit show The
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Pit thrown out. Michael Crichton's widow sued, saying The Pit...
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: is an unauthorized duplicate of ER, which also starred Noah Wiley.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I'm watching ER right now. I never watched the whole series.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: And thank goodness for streaming. I'm binging. Except it's been forever.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I've been doing it for about three months because there's
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: like 100 seasons. And each season's 25 different episodes instead
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: of six like we get now. Let's say good morning
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: now to the host of Home, Saturdays from 6 to
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: 8 a.m., Sundays from 9 to noon on KFI. It's
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Dean Sharp.
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: So what do you think? Do you think The Pit
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: is a reboot of ER?
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, it basically is. It's just that
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: it's updated. It's modern. It's a little more raw. But
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: watching the two of them, yeah, there's tons of similarities.
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: It's a medical procedural, right?
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: It's like saying one cop show is a reboot of
• 15:20
  Speaker 8: another cop show. It's like, come on, find better things
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: to do, honestly.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: There you go. Here's something you can do, and that
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: is get your yard winter ready.
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: Yes, that's what we're going to be talking about on Sunday.
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: We're going to be talking about trees, specifically fall planting
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: and pruning, because now is the time. Now is the time.
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: I have a Thanksgiving deadline that I give most of
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: my clients about major pruning. And a lot of them
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: are surprised because they're like, wait, are we supposed to
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: be pruning in the spring? And the fact of the
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: matter is there are a couple of species of trees
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: out there that we should wait until spring. We should
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: take it easy on citrus and avocado because they're kind
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: of frost tender. That's a good idea to wait until
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: spring to prune those. And stone fruits, anything that's got
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: a pit inside of it, you do those in the summer.
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: But every other tree, every other tree in your yard,
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: now is the time to do major pruning. And when
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: people ask why, it's really kind of a simple idea.
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: trees are all trees are falling into dormancy right now
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: they're starting to get a little sleepy and uh you
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: know i always say if you were going to go
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: get a root canal you know you're probably going to
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: want to have that done with that kind of that
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: twilight anesthesia right so you're just kind of you know
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: so so you're not feeling the impact and that is
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: you know in essence why it's a great time to
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: prune trees right now because the trees are going into dormancy.
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: You're less likely to shock them by major pruning. And
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: not to mention our animal friends, most birds have completely
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: finished their nesting cycle. And you're going to be bringing
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: down some nests if you're going to do major pruning.
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: But you want those nests to be empty and unused,
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: last season's nest. You do that in the spring. You're
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: definitely going to be bringing down nests with eggs and
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: young chicks in them. We don't want to do that.
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: So now is the time.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Okay. Good to know. So if it's got something that
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: grows other than leaves, leave it alone? No, but that's
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: not true because there's flowering trees, too.
• 17:24
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah. No, no, no.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: So it's just the fruit trees, basically.
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: Just the fruiting trees. Let those go until springtime. Otherwise,
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: now is the time. And when it comes to what
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: we call the three Ds, dead, damaged, diseased, or dysfunctional branches,
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: that kind of stuff happens anytime. You do that anytime.
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: You don't put up with that. You don't want the
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: tree to have to deal with that. So that stuff
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: happens all the time. But general pruning, definitely right now.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Okay. One of the things that doesn't happen as much here,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: but leaves do fall. Up in Oregon right now, it's
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: just crazy. Like you get feet of leaves in your yard. Here, though,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the leaves do fall. And then what are you supposed
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: to do with all those leaves?
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: Well, most people just have their gardeners, you know, mow
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: and blow them away.
• 18:16
  Speaker 9: But.
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: If you really want to add back to the ecosphere
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: of your yard and you want to benefit your trees
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: and the rest of your plants, don't blow them. Your blower,
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: if you have an electric blower, a lot of people do,
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: very likely has a reverse function. It probably came with
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: a big tube that you can put on the end
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: and set it in reverse so that you can actually
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: vacuum up those leaves. And the reason why that's such
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: a great idea, you put on the bag on the
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: back of your blower, And you vacuum up the leaves
• 18:46
  Speaker 8: because when you do that, those leaves pass through the
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: impeller motor of the blower and it basically chips them
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: into tiny little bits. And leaves take quite a while
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: to break down. So chipping them into these little bits
• 19:00
  Speaker 8: into the bag and then just take that bag and
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: spread it out across your gardening beds. Because when a
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: tree drops its leaves, it is attempting to do exactly that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: It is mulching itself. It is setting up its own
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: mulch bed down below its canopy. And so when we
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: take all of that away, we're really depriving the tree
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: of what it wants to do in the first place.
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: And this way, we don't have to fill up our
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: trash cans with leaves. We can actually benefit all of
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: our garden beds.
• 19:28
  Speaker 9: Okay. Okay.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: And then when we're talking about trees, is it too
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: late to plant a tree this year? Do you plant
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: in the spring or what do you do with?
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Not at all.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: The same reasons.
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: This is a great time because planting is a shock
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: to a tree as well. You're taking it out of
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: its container and you're putting it in the ground. and
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: now is a great time, also the best time to
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: plant trees because the shock is minimal and the great
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: rains that we're going to get this winter and the
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: lack of growth cycle that the tree has to go
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: through makes it, generally speaking, send its roots deep and
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: really get itself established. And when springtime's come, it's just
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: going to burst out and be wonderfully healthy.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Okay. I love this Chinese proverb that you put on there.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Is it too late to plant a tree? The Chinese
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: proverb says the best time to plant a tree is
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: 20 years ago. The second best time is now.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Absolutely right.
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: There is nothing that transforms our ecosphere like trees, not bushes,
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: not flowers, not shrubs, not vegetables. Trees change the world
• 20:34
  Speaker 8: around us. They change your yard.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: And we're going to be talking more about trees, or
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: you are. I'll be listening to you talking about trees.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Fall planting and pruning all weekend long with Dean Sharp,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the host of Home, right here on KFI. Saturdays, 6
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: to 8 a.m. Sundays, 9 to noon. You can follow
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: him at HouseWhispererDesign. And check out his website, HouseWhispererDesign.com. Dean Sharp,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: thank you.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Amy.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: An LAPD officer has been killed during an on-duty training exercise.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: The department didn't release details of the training or where
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: it was being done yesterday. Fox 11 reported the officer
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: killed was a member of LAPD's dive team and that
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the training exercise was being held in Fontana. The officer
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: was taken to Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Governor Newsom says he is going to commute all 548
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: death sentences currently active in California today. Those sentences will
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: become life without parole.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: Newsom said he firmly believes state-sanctioned killing is incompatible with
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: California's values, undermines the foundations of our legal system, and
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: diminishes each of us. He called it one of the
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: most difficult decisions of his career because it may surface
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: excruciating memories for victims' families. He says offenders getting life
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: without parole will be left to die in obscurity. California
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: hasn't executed anyone since 2006. Experts say the death penalty
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: doesn't act as a deterrent or lower murder rates, costs
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: far more than life sentences, and risks executing innocent people.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Mark Rauner, KFI News.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Riverside County DA Mike Hestron says he's not happy with
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Governor Newsom commuting those sentences. Hestron says Newsom did it
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: without notifying the DAs whose offices prosecuted those cases and
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: secured the convictions and sentences. Hestron says rather than undertake
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: a careful, case-specific review of the evidence, legal proceedings, and
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: circumstances of each case, Newsom again chose to inject politics
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: into California's criminal justice system. The California Coastal Commission has
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: voted 11-0 to let the Orange County Transportation Authority shore
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: up the eroding rail corridor through San Clemente. Commuter and
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: freight rail through South Orange County has been shut down
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: repeatedly since 2021 because of shoreline erosion. The commission approved
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: a 10-year permit for the work with a check-in on
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the project in five years. Speaking of trains, Amtrak says
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: it is expanding its policy to allow guns, outside-checked luggage,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: and stored and secure baggage cars. ABC's Clara McMichael says
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: the new policy will allow passengers on some trains to
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: bring their guns with them in lockboxes in their carry-ons.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: Amtrak said this new policy complies with an executive order
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: from President Trump last year. The Transport Workers Union, which
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: represents some Amtrak employees, said the new policy was lunacy.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Amtrak's new policy is scheduled to start next year. When
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: we come back, something that's become all the rage because
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: of the documentary, you can see everything and it's delicious.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: We'll tell you about it next.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: AM 640.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Here's what we're following in the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Two
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: races for open seats on the L.A. City Council are
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: still too close to call. In the third district, businessman
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Tim Gaspar holds a 294-vote lead over Barryworth Girvin. In
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: the ninth district, Jose Ugarte leads Estuardo Mazariogas.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: It's a brand-new name. Mazariagos. Mazariagos.
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: My last name is King. What do you expect? I mean,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: come on. Anyway, Jose is leading Estuardo by nearly 1,900 votes.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: The winners will replace termed out council members Bob Blumenfield
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: and Kieran Price. The union representing L.A. firefighters has thanked
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: voters for their support of Measure FD. It's a half
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: cent sales tax increase that will generate about $ 345 million
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: a year to pay for staff and equipment for the department.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Measure FD is passing by a 7% margin at last count.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: The measure will raise the city's sales tax from 10.25%
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: to 10.75%. President Trump is set to attend his first
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: formal speaking engagement since the midterm Democratic blowout. He'll be
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: delivering remarks today at the UP Summit at NASA's Kennedy
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Space Center. The White House says following the remarks, the
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: president will head to Mar-a-Lago and will be there through
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the weekend. This Sunday, the Chargers take on the Houston
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Texans at SoFi Stadium. Kickoff is at 105. You can
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: listen to it all right here on KFI AM 640,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: brought to you by your local Kia dealers. Discover what
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: happens when rugged capability meets true performance. Kia, movement that inspires.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Here's something that inspired a lot of people to buy
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: this product. So the new movie... newish movie. You can
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: see everything. It's that documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, the founder
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: of Theranos. At one point there, somebody requests this turkey
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: jerky called Think Jerky. It's free range turkey jerky. And
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: everybody lost their minds over it. It's sriracha honey jerky.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: And so I guess I was one of the people
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: who lost their minds over it because I read that
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: sales were going through the roof because it had a
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: little cameo on the show or on the movie documentary. Mm-hmm.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: And so I went out and bought some. So I
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: thought I'd bring some in for all to taste test.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: So taste and test and let me know what you think.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: I like that honey sriracha.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure about the classic, but I like the
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: ones that's in your hand right now. Mario?
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with Will. Quite a lot of flavor.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: That's a good snack. Okay, so the recipe is from
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Chef Gail Gand, who's a James Beard award winner. Who
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: knew a James Beard chef would be making turkey jerky?
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: But listen to this. So after people, this is so funny.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: It's so indicative of our society. You see something and
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: you must have it. Sales for the sriracha honey flavor,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: which is the one featured in the documentary, jumped 345%
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: overall and 93% on Amazon. That's where I got mine
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: on Amazon.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Pretty good.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: So if you haven't seen the movie, it's just good
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: jerky jerky. I guess if you have seen the movie,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: you kind of feel like you're in on something.
• 26:44
  Speaker 9: You're so cool.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Here's what's coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Nithya
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Raman is L.A. mayor-elect, as she has beaten out incumbent
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Karen Bass. ABC's Avery Harper says Raman represents a democratic
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: socialist platform just like her counterpart on the East Coast.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: In New York, Zahran Mamdani.
• 27:06
  Speaker 11: Now you see the mayors of the two largest cities
• 27:08
  Speaker 11: identifying as democratic socialists. And so when it comes to
• 27:12
  Speaker 11: some of these very populous urban areas, it's certainly not
• 27:16
  Speaker 11: something that voters have shied away from.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Earlier this year, Rahman beat Spencer Pratt to advance to
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Tuesday's runoff against Bass. Rahman says to her, L.A. is
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: the epitome of the American dream.
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: And the idea that Angelenos voted for an immigrant to
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: be their next mayor at this moment in American history
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: is so deeply moving to me.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Rahman's expected to be sworn in as L.A. 's new
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: mayor next month. Pasadena PD says its officers are going
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: to spend the day looking for drivers suspected of violating
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the state's cell phone law. Drivers are not allowed to
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: hold a phone or other electronic communications device while operating
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: a vehicle, including to text, talk or use an app.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Police say a driver's focus should be on the road.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Violators could face a fine and repeat offenders may have
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: a point added to their driving records. And you don't
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: want that. Let's say good morning now to Denise Pellegrini
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: with Bloomberg because it's time to get in your business.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: The business of being on Wall Street was a tough
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: one yesterday. We talked with Dan yesterday and we're like going, oh,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: after the election, that huge spike was so great. Isn't
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: that interesting? And then and then the big dive happened.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: What in the heck happened?
• 28:29
  Speaker 12: Well, you know, there are these systemic funds, and this
• 28:33
  Speaker 12: fast money systemic funds, they really stoked what was yesterday
• 28:37
  Speaker 12: a $ 2. 3 trillion tech stock route with the NASDAQ 100,
• 28:43
  Speaker 12: as you've been talking about, falling 6.4%, almost 6% drop
• 28:47
  Speaker 12: on the NASDAQ. These systemic funds, they act... by computers
• 28:53
  Speaker 12: right so they were forced to cut exposure that sped
• 28:55
  Speaker 12: the decline they follow the direction of the stock market
• 28:58
  Speaker 12: uh particularly momentum signals so if the stock market is
• 29:03
  Speaker 12: falling at an increasingly rate then they sell more and
• 29:06
  Speaker 12: that makes things worse so a lot of people lost
• 29:10
  Speaker 12: a lot of money yesterday and uh overnight i don't
• 29:12
  Speaker 12: know if you looked but japan south korea and taiwan
• 29:15
  Speaker 12: taiwan stock market fell just about eight percent overnight oh
• 29:19
  Speaker 12: wow so this is has really rocked global financial markets
• 29:23
  Speaker 12: today though not looking as bad nasdaq is actually higher
• 29:28
  Speaker 12: by 400 points that doesn't make up for yesterday but
• 29:31
  Speaker 12: it's a start uh snp futures are higher dow futures
• 29:34
  Speaker 12: are lower we had this blowout jobs report this is
• 29:37
  Speaker 12: october jobs right the economy created way more jobs in
• 29:41
  Speaker 12: october than expected this headline just came out 165 000
• 29:45
  Speaker 12: jobs for the month that's more than twice what was
• 29:48
  Speaker 12: expected manufacturing payrolls up sharply uh so investors today looking
• 29:54
  Speaker 12: at what that all means for the economy of course
• 29:57
  Speaker 12: that's good news for the economy but uh You know,
• 30:00
  Speaker 12: bad news if you're hoping for another interest rate cut,
• 30:03
  Speaker 12: which you're not going to get.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: And speaking of interest rates, that leads us to homes.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: And people are trying to buy homes under high interest
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: rates and high prices. And how are they doing it?
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: Record 10% of first-time buyers paid cash, Amy, for homes
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: over the past year. More than a quarter of those
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: purchases were funded by inheritances. According to the National Association
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: of Realtors, 1 in 10 first-time buyers... also used an
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: inheritance to come up with a down payment. So that's
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: how they're doing it. Very, very sneaky. Getting in your
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: business as we do each weekday morning with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini. Thanks, Denise.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Have a fabulous weekend and we'll talk to you Monday.
• 30:41
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm going to go hug a cow this weekend
• 30:43
  Speaker 12: and I'll talk to you Monday. You should.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I highly recommend it. It's very fun and relaxing.
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah.
• 30:50
  Speaker 12: Two of my kids love cows and are already big
• 30:53
  Speaker 12: cow huggers, so I can't wait to tell them.
• 30:56
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: Thanks, Denise.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: When we come back, Sarah Paulson, Kim Kardashian and Nisi
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Nash are back because all's fair. ABC's Will Gantz is
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: going to tell us about that. Also, a new documentary
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: sure to give you a good belly laugh, which I
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: think we all could use right now.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Wake Up Call On Demand from KFI
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: AM 640.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Here's what we're following in the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Mayor
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Bass has conceded defeat to council member Nithya Raman in
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: her bid to be re-elected as LA's mayor. Bass thanked

  Speaker 9: most of it.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: So let's get right to it. We have a dark

  Speaker 9: This is Saoirse Ronan, who is in my.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Favorite movie of all time, Lady Bird.
• 32:58
  Speaker 9: And in this movie, she plays a teacher who is
• 33:00
  Speaker 9: at her wit's end. They're coming to survey her classroom.
• 33:05
  Speaker 9: She's got one student who's just– A nightmare, a bad apple.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: If you will.
• 33:10
  Speaker 9: And through a series of crazy events, she ends up
• 33:12
  Speaker 9: locking this kid in her basement. And when she goes
• 33:16
  Speaker 9: to school the next day with that kid out of
• 33:19
  Speaker 9: the picture, the class is amazing. Everything goes perfectly. And
• 33:23
  Speaker 9: suddenly she's getting all of these recognitions. And so she
• 33:26
  Speaker 9: has this crazy moral dilemma to face of do I
• 33:30
  Speaker 9: leave the kid in the basement and continue with my
• 33:33
  Speaker 9: perfect career or what? So it's a little bit suspenseful.
• 33:38
  Speaker 9: It is darkly funny. And it's an hour and 40 minutes,
• 33:43
  Speaker 9: and you can rent it. right from home this weekend.
• 33:46
  Speaker 9: So if you're looking for something a little bit different,
• 33:48
  Speaker 9: I had not heard of this movie until this week.
• 33:51
  Speaker 9: And I just think Saoirse Ronan is so amazing. So yeah,
• 33:56
  Speaker 9: I think it's a fun and easy watch for anyone
• 33:59
  Speaker 9: looking for something a little darkly funny this weekend.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Hey, speaking of movies, I'm surprised you don't have Godzilla
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: minus zero on your list of things to talk about.
• 34:08
  Speaker 9: I mean, I'm happy to talk about it if you
• 34:11
  Speaker 9: want to. But, you know, that that is not the
• 34:16
  Speaker 9: genre that I tend to gravitate towards.
• 34:19
  Speaker 11: Me either.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: OK, then let's go back to the stream on Hulu
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: and Disney. I haven't even heard of this one, but
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: it's you're saying that it's back for another season.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So this is the show.
• 34:31
  Speaker 9: And maybe when I say the cast, you'll be like, oh, yeah,
• 34:33
  Speaker 9: I have seen them around. It's Kim Kardashian, Sarah Paulson,
• 34:37
  Speaker 9: Niecy Nash, Glenn Close, Naomi Watts. Yeah. So the first
• 34:43
  Speaker 9: season was like critically panned.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: But.
• 34:48
  Speaker 9: Fans loved it. Audiences loved it. They loved the fashion.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: It is like campy. It's so over the top.
• 34:55
  Speaker 9: It's a Ryan Murphy project. And I think now that
• 34:58
  Speaker 9: it's in season two, it is even more aware of
• 35:01
  Speaker 9: what it is and what people want from it. So
• 35:03
  Speaker 9: it's leaning into that stuff even more. So, you know,
• 35:07
  Speaker 9: the first three episodes dropped on Wednesday of season two
• 35:10
  Speaker 9: and new episodes will come out every.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: Wednesday going forward.
• 35:14
  Speaker 9: And so it's like something soapy and campy and the
• 35:17
  Speaker 9: fashion is just like wild. So if you're looking for
• 35:20
  Speaker 9: something lighter like that, all fair is a great option. Okay.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: That's going to have to go on my list. Cause
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: I just Googled it and I was like, Oh, that
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: looks kind of interesting. Okay. So first three episodes are out.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: And then the good news is if you haven't watched it,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: you can go binge season one.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Exactly. Exactly. And it won't take too much brainpower to
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: get through it. Okay.
