  Speaker 1: I go over the edge, rappelling 26 stories down the

  Speaker 1: Union Rescue Mission. And I want to say thanks to
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: everybody who's donated. But we need some more help before

  Speaker 1: warehouse did, as operators of Lineage Logistics had claimed... originate
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: on the roof near a solar panel array. Investigators say
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: an electrical event, as they called it, is what sparked

  Speaker 1: LA County Department of Public Health says seven people have
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: symptoms and six had to be treated at the hospital,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: but everyone has since recovered. This is the second outbreak
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: reported in L.A. this year. Flea-borne typhus is a bacterial

• 2:12
  Speaker 1: after he threatened in his address to the General Assembly...
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: that he may annihilate the Islamic Republic if a deal
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: with Iran isn't reached soon. Today on the center stage
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: at the General Assembly is Benjamin Netanyahu. Jordana Miller in
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Jerusalem is going to join us to tell us about
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: that and his beef with New York City's Mayor Zoran Mamdani. CNN,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: speaking of beef, CNN Politico and MSNOW are banned from
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the White House today. But they're going to court. They
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: have a first hearing today to try to stop the ban.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: of the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Firefighters have been monitoring a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: lithium battery storage unit near a solar farm at a
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Metropolitan Water District site in Laverne because of a fire
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: that erupted nearby. They say the storage unit was smoking
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and making popping sounds yesterday due to heat exposure. We
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: don't know what caused that first fire we rolled up.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: A significant fire coming from that one battery storage container
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: actually had an explosion.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Laverne Fire Battalion Chief Mark Savage says there's potential for
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a fire in the storage unit until the energy dissipates
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and gets released. Nearby homes and shopping centers were evacuated
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: as a precaution and schools in the area were locked down.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Grace Elementary School is going to be closed today.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: The L.A.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: City Council has authorized the release of a notice of
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: funding availability for nearly $ 467 million for the construction and
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: preservation of rental units across the city. It's expected to
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: be released in October, which will allow developers, nonprofits, and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: other organizations to apply for grants and loans for housing projects.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Councilwoman Imelda Padilla says the housing department has also been
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: directed to make the programs easier to understand and navigate
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: by using education models on its website. The National Hurricane
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Center says Hurricane Polo in the Pacific is an extremely
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: dangerous storm with maximum sustained winds of 165 miles per hour.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: It's off the coast of Mexico, but forecasters say it
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: could raise the risk of more coastal flooding and erosion
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: in Southern California this weekend or early next week. Polo
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: is a Category 5 storm. expected to move west-northwest over
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the next few days. A tropical storm warning's been issued
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: for part of Mexico's Pacific coast. Higher HOA fees could
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: be coming for homeowners in California. Assembly Bill 2050 is
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: waiting for Governor Newsom's signature. If he signs it, the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: bill would require HOAs to save enough money to cover
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: repairs and costs for the next 30 years. If they
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: don't have enough in reserve, They'll need to increase fees
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: or add a special charge to homeowners. The governor has
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: until September 30th to sign or veto the bill. About
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: one in four California households pay HOA fees. Yeah, that's
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Justin Bieber. He surprised fans with a little concert at
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: MacArthur Park. It was just him and a couple of
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: guys with guitars on Monday afternoon. Bieber performed several songs,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: including his hit UConn, released last year. DA Nathan Hockman
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: posted on X, It's a testament to the progress we're
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: achieving to take back the park from drug dealers and
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: enliven it for families. MacArthur Park's been the site of
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: high-profile law enforcement raids in recent months. Let's say good
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: morning now to ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. So Jordana,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu goes on to the world's
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: spotlight today when he addresses the UN General Assembly. But
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: he's got more than an address on his mind. He's
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: got a bit of a beef with New York City
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Mayor Zoran Mamdani. He does.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: He's actually going to be addressing the UN General Assembly
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: tomorrow at 2 p.m. Eastern. He will leave Israel in
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: the coming hours. And on top of all the very... weighty,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: grave issues that he's going to address at the UN,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: including Israel's war against Hamas and against Hezbollah and Iran.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: The prime minister will also address this kind of war
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: of words he's having with Mamdani. The mayor of New
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: York accused the Israeli leader of being a, quote, unquote,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: war criminal, being, quote, unquote, the architect of a genocide
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: of the Palestinian people, and keeps insisting that he should
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: be arrested because of that warrant, that arrest warrant from
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: the ICC. Meanwhile, the United States is now party to
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: the ICC, and the United States doesn't have any any
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: ability or jurisdiction to arrest the Israeli prime minister. Mamdani
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: knows this. This is a little bit of Mamdani's theatrics. Nonetheless,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: the Israeli prime minister put out a post on his
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: social media feeds saying he's coming to New York. He's
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: going to talk about what he calls the heroic role
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: of Israeli soldiers and tell the truth about them. And
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: he said he's going to tell the truth about Mamdani.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: And many of us are wondering, well, Nathaniel loves theatrics,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: so what does he have up his sleeve on Mamdani?
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Is he going to pull up a video or social
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: media post or who knows what he's going to do?
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: He likes having props and aides up there. So we'll
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: see what he says. But the heart of his address
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: is going to be, again, what the Israeli prime minister
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: calls Israel's just war against radical Islam. And we've heard
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Netanyahu say this for many years, that he believes Israel's
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: on the front lines of this fight against radical, violent,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: intolerant Islam. And certainly for the prime minister, that is
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: more true than ever since October 7th. He's also going
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: to heap a lot of praise on President Trump for
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: leading Operation Epic Fury, for helping Israel even a year
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: ago in a different way. shorter war with Iran, and
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: really first standing by Israel through the Gaza war, seeing
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: out and helping to close that ceasefire that enabled all
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: the living and dead hostages to be released almost a
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: year ago now.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Wow, it's amazing that that was that long ago. Do
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: we know what kind of reception he is expected to
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: get at the General Assembly? Because I know that there's
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of countries that are not exactly backing Israel
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: So I think we'll see what we've seen in recent years.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: And by the way, what we saw even before October 7th,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: before Israel became, I would say, a more aggressive state
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: in the region after the war. The Israeli prime minister
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: often says, you know, we woke up on October 7th.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: And it was there was a huge failure. But he
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: he says, you know, since then, I've I've really led
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: a very aggressive military policy and showed our enemies that
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: we're strong.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: But even before all of that, we do expect we've
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: seen in the past dozens of diplomats walk out of
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: the hall when Netanyahu speaks. And that will likely happen again.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: I think we're probably going to see this year just given.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Given the a lot of still a lot of the
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: criticism of the war, we're going to see, I think,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: larger protests against Netanyahu in and around the U.N., in
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: and around the hotel. And, you know, for the first time,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: the Israeli leader, you know, he may he's, his exact
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: departure and landing are all being kept kind of under
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: wraps because of this, you know, this heightened environment.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Well, we will be watching, and that's tomorrow. My mistake,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: not today. ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Thank you so
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: much for the information as always.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Talk soon.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: of the KFI 24 hour newsroom. Speaking of the General Assembly,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: President Trump says there is now a lot of momentum
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: for Iran to make a deal to end the war.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: It follows yesterday's meeting between U.S. and Iranian officials in
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: New York that followed Trump's. Addressed to the U.N. General Assembly,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: State Department spokesperson Tommy Piggott says the president is holding
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: all the cards because of the kinetic military action the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: administration has shown.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: The president being clear, he of course prefers a diplomatic solution,
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: but he is going to see the fundamental objective that
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon be fulfilled one.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: Way or another.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: He says when it comes to gas prices, if the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Iranian regime had a nuclear weapon, those prices would be
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: double or triple what they are now. Former Vice President
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Harris is campaigning with Senate candidate Abdul Al-Sayed in Michigan,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: where she's trying to rally support for Democrats ahead of midterms.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: At an event in Detroit yesterday, Harris suggested recent Supreme
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Court decisions have dismantled key sections of the Voting Rights Act.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: They are cheating by purging voter rolls.
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: So we say as leaders then to folks, not only
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: must you register to vote, check your voter registration status
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: to make sure you haven't been purged from the rolls.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Harris has yet to say if she plans to run
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: for president again in 2028. Senator Bernie Sanders wants to
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: ban artificial superintelligence and create Department of A.I., He and
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Congressman Greg Caesar are introducing legislation to do just that.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Sanders warned about the development of AI earlier this month.
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: The speed and scope of AI development in just the
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: last four years has been almost beyond human comprehension.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: The new proposal comes as prominent AI executives and researchers
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: increasingly warn about potentially catastrophic risks from AI. President Trump
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: has pushed back on the new regulations and emphasized maintaining
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: an advantage over China. An iconic car that's part of
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Hollywood history will soon be on the auction block. ABC's
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Mike Dabusky says it's the Batmobile from Batman Returns with
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Michael Keaton.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: Now, that movie prop is going under the hammer at
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: the Los Angeles-based Julian's Auctions. It's estimated to fetch between
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: $ 5 and $ 7 million at auction in November.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: In the movie, the Batmobile is powered by a flame-throwing
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: jet turbine. In reality, it's a Chevy V8 that powers
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the 19-foot-long car. Hey, tonight it's Hello Kitty and Friends
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: night at the ballpark.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Woo-hoo!
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: You know, they have these really cool, well, I think
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: they took a lesson from the Disney playbook because now
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: they have the Hello Kitty popcorn buckets at Dodger Stadium.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I saw that, yes.
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: Very cute.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Very cute. Your official home for Dodger baseball is AM570
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: LA Sports. Tonight, your back-to-back world champion Dodgers take on
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: the Padres again. First pitch goes out at 7. Rumor
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: has it there was a shutout last night. Sorry, Ann.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Listen on AM570 LA Sports, and you can stream all
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the action every game on the iHeartRadio app, live from
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the Galpin Ford broadcast booth. The LA City Council is authorized.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Almost $ 467 million to support construction and preservation of rental
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: units across the city. It's the most money ever released
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: by the city for this purpose. It'll be released on
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: October 13th. Developers and other organizations can then apply for
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: grants and loans for their housing projects until December. Nick
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Reiner has claimed his constitutional rights are being violated as
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: he fights for his trust fund money. He says he
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: has a right to be represented by a defense lawyer
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: of his choosing, which he can't afford until he gets
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the $ 588, 000 from his trust that he says he should
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: have gotten back in 2023. Right now, he's being represented
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: by a public defender. Reiner's facing murder charges in the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: killing of his parents, Rob and Michelle Reiner, last December.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: 28 finalists for the 2027 Rose Court have been announced.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Seven will be selected next week to represent the Tournament
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: of Roses at the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl game.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the Rose Court Queen, and her court will ride along
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Colorado Boulevard in the 138th Rose Parade and will attend
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the college football playoff quarterfinal at the 113th Rose Bowl
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: game on New Year's Day, 2027. Let's say good morning
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: now to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. So Stephen, right now MSNOW, CNN,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: and Politico are banned from the White House, but that
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: could change today.
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: Well, we'll hear about it later from Judge Timothy Kelly,
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: who is the Trump appointee who will hold this afternoon's hearing.
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: The president describes this judge as disloyal, and the president
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: is acknowledging he's likely to lose on this first round
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: because this same judge ruled eight years ago in favor
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: of Jim Acosta and CNN when Acosta's hard pass to
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: the White House was pulled after an exchange during a
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: press conference. The question ultimately, I think, is going to
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: be whether the Fifth Amendment due process rights of these
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: organizations and their reporters were violated when the president suddenly
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: announced on Friday that their access would be pulled and
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: the reporters went in on Saturday and tried to get
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: in and their hard passes were confiscated without notice, without
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: an opportunity to respond. Overnight. The Trump administration argued in
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: federal court that the decision's only preliminary and won't be
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: final until Friday afternoon of this week, and that they
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: now have an opportunity to respond in writing.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: See?
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: Well, I don't know if that'll impress or, you know,
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: otherwise persuade the judge, because this is very much ex
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: post facto in that sense. And also, there's no clear
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: standard that has been violated. It's sort of this vague
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: idea of, you know, coverage the president doesn't like. In
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: the letters last night that were published, The White House
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: lawyers point to standards of professionalism and decorum by trafficking
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: in verifiable falsehoods about national security and other issues and
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: publishing sensitive or classified information. The stories, Amy, that are
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: cited by the White House include reports about depleted munitions
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: in the Iran war, negotiations to end that war, the
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: bunker that would go under the White House ballroom. All
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: these things, by the way, have been subjects of our
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: national discussion and debate for the last year. And the
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: argument the White House is making is that that debate
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: should never have happened, that we shouldn't be able to
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: know about these things, that the fact that we do
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: is affecting our national security, and therefore these outlets should
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: be barred from accessing the White House. That, I think, arguably,
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: the news organizations will argue is a direct violation of
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: the First Amendment. It's meant to send a chilling effect.
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: The idea that the American people don't have a right
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: to know or discuss these things It runs counter to
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: the whole notion of a free country. And that the
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: president should not have the ability to just pick and
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: choose which outlets come in. Think of it this way.
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: Let's just say Mayor Bass decided that there was a
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: press room at City Hall that KFI could not access.
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: That the radio station up the dial, the news station,
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: that they could come in because the mayor likes that news,
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: but not your news. How would that go over? And
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: the argument here in Washington is that for 50 years,
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: there has been a, you know, the rulings of the
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: federal court have been consistent. Once the doors of the
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: White House are open to reporters generally, as they have
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: been for generations, that the White House can engage in
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: viewpoint discrimination, picking and choosing who is allowed in. This
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: question about the Oval Office and the Air Force One,
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: the tight spaces where they're represented by a contingent of
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: poolers who are supposed to share their information with the
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: broader press corps and ultimately with the public, that remains
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: an open question. It has not been fully settled by
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: the federal courts, but for now, it seems to be
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: the practice. And the argument the White House is making
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: is that that should be the rule for the entire complex.
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: They're challenging this 50-year-old precedent, and they want to see
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: it overturned. We'll see how successful they'll be.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, so I have a question, and this is asking you... Well,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: that's like asking for your opinion on it.
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: But so in this case, you might be able to
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: find one.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: OK, so he's acknowledged that he's probably going to lose.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: He's like, yeah. And then, yeah, in the first round,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: at least. So then, I mean, do you think that
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: he does this just to kind of troll the media
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: outlets that he doesn't really like, like knowing that he
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: doesn't really have a shot at having this stick?
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: I don't know. There might be part of a broader
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: strategy here because included in the federal court filing overnight
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: is a declaration from two officials at the Pentagon who
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: say that what they did at the Pentagon by excising
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: reporters from the complex altogether, which is effectively what they've done,
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: and now you can only come in with an escort
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: or by invitation, that the argument in court is that
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: national security has been improved because there are fewer inquiries
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: about sensitive information and that reporters at the Pentagon, the
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: argument is, which I think is a flawed one. The
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: argument is that reporters at the Pentagon were able to
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: stake out the Joint Chiefs Office and see the comings
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: and goings and establish patterns, and therefore they could follow
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: up and report things. The idea that reporters shouldn't even
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: be able to see which officials are going in and
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: coming out, that argument could be extended to the White House,
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: which would arguably mean that no reporter should have access.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: All right. Well, we'll see what happens when they head
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: to court today. ABC's Stephen Portnoy. thanks much. We'll be watching.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: You bet.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: All right. A small group of Hollywood actors and other
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: industry workers have gathered at the gates of Paramount Studios
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: to protest the deal for the studio to buy Warner
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Brothers Discovery now that it's going forward. California and 11
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: other states settled a lawsuit this week that was meant
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to block the deal. KFI's Jason Nathanson says some who
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: gathered yesterday said they're mad at just about everybody.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: Titanic actress Frances Fisher feels betrayed.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Rob Bonta, Gavin Newsom, and Karen Bass have betrayed all
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: of us.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: She says California's Attorney General, the governor, and LA's mayor
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: said they'd protect Hollywood workers and stop the deal, but
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: they cave.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: I want to be here because I believe that the
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: situation is bad.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: Talent agent Mark Scrogg says fewer studios means fewer jobs.
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: There's a lot less work right now, not just because
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: people are leaving the state and things are changing, but
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: because there's fewer companies.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Criminal Minds star Kristen Bengsness told me she hates that
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: she felt compelled to.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: Be out there.
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: I don't know enough about antitrust laws. I got a
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: degree in jazz hands. But I know enough to know
• 20:54
  Speaker 9: that it shortens up the amount of free speech we have.
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: It lowers jobs. It might give us more wealth. But
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: so far, the people that have that wealth have not
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: been sharing it.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Criminal Minds is a Paramount show, and I was speaking
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: to Kirsten in front of the big Paramount gates on Melrose.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Are you concerned being out here showing your face?
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: Terrified.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Terrified out of my mind.
• 21:14
  Speaker 9: And losing my job would be terrifying.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: This is my dream. And I always think about it.
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: I'm like, well, if they take it away from me, well,
• 21:19
  Speaker 9: I'll sit at home and kick myself and be like,
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: what a dummy.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: My heart says I got to do this.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Frances Fisher says she's worried the deal could chill free speech,
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: especially with CBS News and CNN falling under one owner.
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: We make art.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: We don't make propaganda.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: What's the propaganda that you're worried about that's going to
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: come out of the studio now?
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Watch Fox News.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: Start there.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Who knows how far this is going to go.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: But the 74-year-old told me she's been a part of
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: a lot of fights over the years, and she doesn't
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: get worried.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: It's always like, okay, this is the issue. How do
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: we move forward? We're all going to talk and figure
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: out what our.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: Next step is. What is the next, like, do we
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: stop this?
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: Well, the judge has not decreed that this is a
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: done deal yet. I don't know how we can get
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: to her.
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: In Hollywood, Jason Nathanson, KFI News.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Farmers in California have been struggling to sell their grapes.
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: Even though it is harvest time in California wine country,
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: many growers are struggling to sell their grapes as Americans
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: cut back on drinking. Farmers are tearing out their vineyards,
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: selling their land or planting other crops as they lose
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: faith in the wine business. Many California growers can't find
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: buyers as the industry produces more wine grapes than the
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: market wants. Wine consumption is declining globally as people drink less.
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: Debra Mark, KFI News.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I'll take those grapes.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: I'm on it, Amy.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Catch up.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: The iconic Santa Monica Pier sign is coming down, but
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: not to worry. It's temporary. It's being removed as reconstruction
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: work is done on the new Santa Monica Pier Bridge.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: A statement from the city says the sign is going
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: to be carefully restored and preserved while the pier work
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: is done. They say the refurbishment will extend the sign's
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: lifespan while maintaining its historic character. And judging by the
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: smile that's written on his face, there's nothing I can do. Ooh,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: I love this song. And apparently a lot of you do, too.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Ella Langley's Choose in Texas has been named the biggest
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: hit of 2026. It's also the longest-running number one hit
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: in the U.S., having spent 23 weeks at the top
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: spot on Billboard's Hot 100. A senior editor at Spotify
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: says the song's growth has been explosive and then consistent.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Jews in Texas was released in October of last year.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Evacuation orders have been downgraded as authorities get a handle
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: on a fire at a lithium battery storage unit near
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: a solar farm in Laverne. The fire started at the
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Metropolitan Water District facility on Wheeler Avenue shortly before noon
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: yesterday after a small explosion sent one person to the hospital.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Shopping centers along Wheeler were evacuated as a precaution and
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: a couple of nearby schools were also placed on lockdown.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Former Vice President Harris has been out campaigning with Michigan
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, who's running for the Senate. She joined
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: El-Sayed yesterday to talk about health care costs and black
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: mental health. The Michigan race between El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: one of the most closely watched in the country. Two
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: beaches in Orange County are off limits to people because
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: of turtles. A rare species of sea turtle has been
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: spotted laying and burying eggs. The paddle pod olive ridley turtle.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: It was spotted building a nest and bearing some freshly
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: laid eggs just yards away from the surf in Seal
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Beach and also near the Huntington Beach Pier. Happened last week.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: The turtles have traveled north, most likely because of the
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: warm waters from El Nino. Okay, so it's two more
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: days until I go over the edge for the Union
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Rescue Mission. Please donate what you can. This is a
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: privately funded organization. And Union Rescue Mission is doing things right.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Their shelters and programs and housing facilities are dry. No
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: drugs and alcohol are allowed. So they don't get any
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: federal money. Seems kind of backward, but that's the reality.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: It's totally privately funded. We are making progress in raising
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: money and we're quite a ways from our goal, but
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: we've raised a ton of money. And thank you to
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: so many of you who've donated. Pamela Bechtel, Cheryl Sherwood,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: All the anonymous donors, Nicholas Nolan, Carol Curtis, Elise Roberts,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Shannon Farron made a little donation. We so appreciate everybody
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: who's donated. And as I mentioned, we're making progress, but
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: we've got a way to go. Need your help to
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: get over the top and go over the edge. It's
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: very easy to do. Just go to URM.org slash OTE.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Click the Team KFI button and you can donate to
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: either Neil or to me because Neil's doing it too.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: repelling 26 stories. I hear it's 231 feet down. And
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: how many inches? I don't know, but when you look over,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: it's a long way down. And if you want to
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: do it too, get a team together, raise $ 1, 000, and
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: you could go over the edge. We'd love to have
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: you join us. It's terrifying, exhilarating, and it's for a really,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: really good cause. Again, an organization that's actually getting homeless
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: people off the streets and back on their feet. Here's
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: what's coming out of the KFI 24-hour newsroom.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: L.A.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: City Council says it's going to look into spending more
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: money to help people from El Salvador with temporary protected status.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Comes during what council members say is uncertainty about whether
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: the federal government will allow a lapse in protections for Salvadorans.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: The council's already authorized a million dollars for the legal
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: defense program Represent L.A. The council says it could offer
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: more in the way of rental assistance or other financial aid,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: outreach and education. Jury deliberations resume this morning in the
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: murder trial of a man from Downey who's accused of
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: killing his eight-month-old baby boy. Prosecutors say Milton Paniagua lost
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: his temper, violently shook his son, and then slammed him
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: down onto the hardwood floor nearly seven years ago. The
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: little boy died. Milton Paniagua, who served as his own attorney,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: maintains that he was a good father and argued there
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: is reasonable doubt about the case against him. Former Orange
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: County Congresswoman Katie Porter may soon have a new gig.
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: Governor Newsom has appointed Porter to the California Community College's
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: Board of Governors. Two months ago, after losing her bid
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: for governor, Porter said that she was done for now
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: with politics and campaigning. Her appointment is pending state Senate confirmation.
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: Porter is a progressive Democrat and would be paid $ 100
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: for every day she conducts official business in the role.
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: Debra Mark, KFI News.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: A DoorDash delivery didn't quite make it to its customer,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: so the customer dashed down and got it himself.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: My DoorDasher told me he got in a car accident.
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: Glenda Dibnew recorded himself going to the scene of a
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: car accident to pick up his DoorDash order. He pulled
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: up to the crash site in Maryland and saw how
• 28:11
  Speaker 8: bad the accident was.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I didn't know my man got in an accident.
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: He then saw his order on the ground. Before taking off,
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: he did ask about the driver. Turns out he was hurt,
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: but the viral video has helped him with a GoFundMe
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: for his medical bills and the loss of his car.
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: Michael Crozier, KFI News.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Wow. Crozier finds such great stories. Time to get in
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: your business with Bloomberg's John Tucker, as we do each
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: weekday morning. Morning, John.
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: I don't know. Do you really want the food that bad?
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: He's like, oh, the food's on the ground. Let's pick
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: it up. It's a five-second rule, right? Okay. No big
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: surprise to anybody. Mortgage rates are going up.
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, rising to the highest level, Amy, in more than
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: two years. Further weighing on the housing market, which is
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: in some areas in somewhat of a recession. The contract rate,
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: this is the 30-year fixed mortgage, now 7.12%. Borrowing costs
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: could remain elevated. Mortgage rates closely track the 10-year Treasury yield.
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: That's hovering near its highest level in almost two decades.
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: Then you had sales of previously owned homes falling in
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: August to the weakest pace in more than a year.
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: Builder confidence this month matched the lowest level since late 2022.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: The high rates overall discouraging prospective buyers. And home builders,
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: they've also been firing workers. Residential construction employment peaked in
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: September 2024. Generally been trending lower since. I kiss my
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: mortgage every night before I go to bed.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Are you a 3%er? Yeah.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Lucky.
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Kraft Heinz is slimming down its ingredients.
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: This is part of the effort to revive its brands.
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: Kraft Heinz developing new formulations with more natural ingredients while
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: putting renewed muscle behind existing products. They're trying to replicate
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: the success of Heinz Simply. That's the ketchup. It's like
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: 15 years old that replaces the high fructose corn syrup
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: with cane sugar. The sales there, they've been growing it
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: up much faster pace than the traditional recipe. So that
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: demand is driven in part by the so-called clean label
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: products that have natural ingredients. So they're scouring their portfolio
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: now for more opportunities to try and slim down. This
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: includes Power Mac, the high-protein version of the company's mac
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: and cheese dinners. Jell-O also getting the Simply treatment with
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: lines of ready-to-eat gelatin cups and dry pudding and gelatin
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: mixes that are free of artificial colors and sweeteners.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with any of that. The
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: GLP-1 boom.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: I want my Jell-O to be colored.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: It will be.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: It's just going to be colored with beets instead of
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: dye number five or something. Of course, that might taste weird. Anyway,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: GLP-1 boom is getting too expensive for some employers.
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: About half of large U.S. companies covered the popular weight
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: loss drugs last year. The share is starting to fall.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: Employers grappling with the high cost. So employee health benefit
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: costs expected to climb almost 7% this year to about
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: $ 18, 500 per worker. It was the biggest increase in 15 years.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: It was according to the benefits consulting firm Mercer and
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: prescription drugs, one of the main reasons why the GLP-1s
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: cost up to $ 766 for a 30-day supply. And including
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: them in the health plans can raise the monthly premiums
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: on employer-sponsored plans by as much as 14%. Now, some
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: companies that continue to cover these drugs are creating friction
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: within the company. Some workers who don't use them question
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: whether the added costs will drive up premiums for everyone.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: There you go. Let me do futures right now, Amy.
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: Dow futures up, down, pardon me, 168 points. S &
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: P futures down 10, and the Nasdaq futures 74 points lower.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: All right. Hold on to your hats. Thank you so much,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: John Tucker with Bloomberg. Get in your business as we
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: do each weekday morning. Have a great day.
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: You too. My pleasure.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: A Category 5 storm, Hurricane Polos, raised the risk of
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: coastal flooding and beach erosion in Southern California. The storm
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: is expected to move west over the next several days
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: and could affect Southern California beaches by this weekend or
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: early next week. A California Democrat's staffer has been taken
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: into federal custody. Former KTSF news anchor Ho-Yin Mo was
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: arrested at the airport in Las Vegas after overstaying his visa.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: He came to the U.S. in early 2020, but apparently
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: overstayed that visa by six years. Mo works for Northern
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: California Assemblywoman Catherine Stefani. Officials say work authorization or a
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: pending application is not the same as having legal status. Ray,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Sombra and Teddy Swims are all teaming up to honor
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: the late George Michael at the MTV Video Music Awards.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: The tribute on Sunday comes 40 years after George Michael
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: released the career-defining album Faith. A new album, George Michael
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: The Faith Tour, is set to be released November 6th
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: and then a feature film of the same name is
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: being released in theaters December 11th. A four-time VMAs winner,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Michael was honored with the Video Vanguard Award in 1989.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: He died in 2016 at the age of 53. Love,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: George Michael Music. 40 years. Oh, my gosh. I know, right?
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: We're just minutes away from Handel on the news this morning.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: It was once thought that Mayor Bass was a bit
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: of a shoo-in to win re-election as mayor of L.A.,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: but that might not be the case anymore. Bill's going
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: to tell you about that. What am I on? I'm
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: on the stream because there is so much out there.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: I'm discovering new stuff every day. I came across a
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: new series. It's just four episodes in, so I'm not
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: going to tell you about it yet. I like to
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: wait until the whole season is out so I can
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: know whether to recommend it or not recommend it. So far, though,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: it's pretty interesting.
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Today, though, we're talking about Mayday. That's why I sent
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: out the distress call. Get it? Mayday. It's on Apple TV.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: It stars Ryan Reynolds. Love him. And Kenneth Branagh. So
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Kenneth Branagh plays Nikolai. He's called me Nick. A former
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: KGB living agent who's living a rather quiet life in
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: the middle of nowhere in Russia.
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds is a Navy pilot. His name is Troy.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: He gets shot down behind enemy lines while out on
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: a mission. And this all happens toward the end of
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: the Cold War in 1987. Not a true story, but
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: that's when this when it's set. Ryan Reynolds, Troy, just
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: happens to be rescued after his plane crashes and gets
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: shot down, gets rescued by Branagh, who is obsessed with America.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: He dreams of coming to America and he loves Top Gun.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Loves Top Gun. Ryan Reynolds, of course, a cocky fighter pilot.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: He tries to get away because he's injured in the
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: whole crash, but he can't. He's got 2000 kilometers to
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: make it to the nearest border to get out of
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Russia and he can't do it alone. That's where the
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: adventure gets underway. And it's a fun show. Kenneth Branagh
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: looks a little bit, it's a little distracting to me
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: because he kind of looks like Jason Bateman. Because he's
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: got a beard, you know, he's a full beard. And
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: I kept thinking, who does he look like? Who does
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: he look like? And it was bugging me like through
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: a bunch of the movie. So out of the gate,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: just know that he kind of looks like Jason Bateman.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: So you don't have to, you know, stew about it
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: like I did. Totally far-fetched. So many things that couldn't happen,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: but it's an action adventure comedy. And as long as
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: you can suspend your disbelief, which we do in those
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: kinds of movies, it is a fun one. Lots of action,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: couple fun twists, couple of surprises. And it's really funny because,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: you know, Ryan Reynolds is funny. And it's just it's
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: a cute movie. Not going to win any awards or
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: anything like that, but it's a it's a good couple
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: of hours. Buckle up. I'm on it. I think you
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: should be, too, because it is a very fun ride.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: It's called Mayday. It's on Apple TV. Now let's get
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: back to some of the stories coming out of the
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: KFI 24-hour newsroom. The L.A. Fire Department says the cause
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: of the fire at the Lineage Logistics Cold Storage Warehouse
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: in Boyle Heights is officially undetermined. But investigators do say
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: it started on the roof at or near some solar panels.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Officials say the department's arson counterterrorism section has wrapped up
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: its investigation into the fire and based on the evidence,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Investigators have determined an electrical event happened, but they can't
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: say exactly what it was. Lineage says the report validates
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: what it's been saying all along, that it was a
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: solar panel fire. The Sacramento River could be getting too
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: warm for Chinook salmon. On September 4th, state biologists estimated
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: that about 20% of the salmon eggs in the area
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: may not hatch because of the water temperature being too high. Well,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: the temperature of the rivers increased since then. The eggs
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: need to be in water colder than 53.5 degrees to survive.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Environmental advocates blame the federal government for the rise in temperature,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: saying they took too much water out of Lake Shasta
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: for farms in the Central Valley this spring and summer.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: California Attorney General Rob Bonta is dropping remaining charges in
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: connection with a break-in at Stanford University during pro-Palestinian protests.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: The five remaining protesters were facing felony, vandalism, and conspiracy charges.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: The four Stanford alumni and one student were accused of
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: breaking into the Stanford administrative offices in June of 2024
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: during those protests. In exchange for charges being dropped, they
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: have each agreed to pay nearly $ 52, 000 in restitution to
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: the university and complete 100 hours of community service. Prosecutors
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: and the university had estimated damage to the building at
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: between $ 360, 000 and $ 1 million. There were initially 12 protesters
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: charged last year. And those that can't get enough of
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump? like our own Bill Handel, are going to
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: love this.
• 38:52
  Speaker 8: And with a video featuring clips from Seinfeld, Friends and more,
• 38:55
  Speaker 8: Trump TV is born. The 24-7 stream of speeches, announcements
• 38:59
  Speaker 8: and more on YouTube launched a few days after President
• 39:02
  Speaker 8: Trump banned CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House.
• 39:05
  Speaker 8: The channel description says you can watch the Trump administration's
• 39:08
  Speaker 8: biggest moments all in one place. Governor Newsom says it's
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: quite literally state-run TV. The former president of the White
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: House Correspondents Association says if the government is only showing
• 39:17
  Speaker 8: you what it wants, then you have to question what
• 39:19
  Speaker 8: are we missing. Michael Crozier, KFI News.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: I will just stand.
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: Here and watch all of you for hours.
• 39:25
