Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
I'm Andy Reesmeyer be with you all the way tonight
until ten pm, alongside the very capable Mark Ronner. Hey
now from the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. What's the latest?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Just kidding? Also, we've got Sam on the ones and
twos once again. Good evening. How about this Dodger's tied?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah, since the last time that Conway was on down
by two and Freddie Freeman just hit hit? What did
he do?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I missed it because I was I was getting prepping
for the show.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
I think he got a base hit and he knocked
in Otani who was on second? Who who actually knocked
in an RBI himself earlier? So now it's all tied up.
It's a ballgame at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
You know.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Momentum is everything in sports. So I have heard people say,
can't verify for sure on my own, but I think
that that's probably true. And it's amazing to see the
vibe shift when you go from at least for the
first three or four innings Dodgers up by two nothing
and then all of a sudden, Uh, I think what
was that?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
It was tied or something like that, But we were
in a.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Situation where Dodgers were down by two and UH Blue
Jays four to two, So that felt very tense for
a minute. Kicked it into gear locked.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Cool. They're showing a watch party in Japan right now,
and all of them are Dodgers fans because of a
time of course. Cool knowing on the other side of
the pond, there's a lot of people cheering for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
So tide game now series tide. We are what at
the bottom of the sixth? Where are we going now?
I haven't I can't see it because the on screen graphics.
And again like I like I've said before, the fifth
right now, bottom of the fifth. Okay, so heading into
the uh, heading into the six still a lot of
baseball left. Been an interesting game, a lot of a
(01:54):
lot of UH excitement around the Dodgers. But I think
coming back from Toronto with some trepidy, with a little
bit of hesitation here because obviously we had a pretty
tough Friday night Saturday, much better this game. Hopefully the
Dodgers will be able to pull it out and put
us into a good position coming in because we've got
another game tomorrow and then another game here in Los
(02:17):
Angeles Chavez Ravine on Wednesday, So very very interesting stuff.
Will keep you posted, of course, in the big news today,
Shock following a police pursuit. That's how a lot of
people started to understand that this story was happening. Because
there was a police pursuit. All the local television stations
had the helicopters up watching on the two ten as
(02:40):
a suspect on a motorcycle was going up to one
hundred and thirty miles an hour, maybe even faster, evading police,
clipped the back of a car, went flying off. This
bike ended up in the uh on the side of
the freeway there, didn't die, was transported to a hospital,
(03:03):
but we found out a little later that he had
actually been involved in a domestic dispute. Deputies in San
Bernardino County were alerted to an armed man who was
threatening a woman in Rancho Cucamonga at around twelve thirty seven.
When they arrived, there must have been some kind of conversation.
Minutes later, the suspect allegedly opened fire, struck a deputy,
(03:25):
and that deputy the San Bernardino Sheriff's Departments, Deputy Andrew Nunez,
who unfortunately was struck and then died at a hospital
sometime later, six year veteran of the department, leaves behind
a wife and a two year old daughter. His wife
is expecting. He's a six year veteran of the San
(03:46):
Bernardino Sheriff's Department. And now the procession for this fallen
deputy weaving in and out of parts of San Bernardino
County from that hospital in Colton where the deputy was
now all over San Bernardino County where it is exactly
right now. I'm not sure we do have Sky five overhead.
(04:09):
If if you're out there looking in the locals, Channel
five is following this, and of course you see just
an array of lights and sirens, all of those first
responders out to pay their respects, be a part of
that procession for Deputy Andrew Nunez, who, as we said,
(04:30):
died today in the line of duty. There are a
couple of fire trucks with their ladders raised sky high,
an American flag draped between the two of them, and
I believe that this will the procession. As we said,
it's not quite yet underway. But what they're I think
(04:50):
they're doing right now is they're loading I'm assuming the
casket of Deputy Unya is onto a truck, onto a van,
and then they will weave in and out of parts
of San Bernardino County.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And as you heard.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Conway saying, if you see a lot of lights and sirens,
if you see a lot of first responders paying respects
there too, that fallen deputy. That's what's going on there,
and we'll let you know as soon as we have
any more indication. But the other part of the story
is that because of that pursuit on the two ten
lane's still traffic still suffering there between Mountain Avenue and
(05:24):
Campus Avenue. CHP Sheriff's Department continuing that investigation, but the
suspect was airlifted to a hospital after that crash, crashed
into a vehicle who was driven by an off duty
officer who at some point made himself on duty and
then maybe intercepted that that pursuit suspect, led that pursuit
(05:45):
suspect to stop being a pursuit suspect or at least
stop being pursued. He was done, but in stable condition.
Was the last that we heard about him, But you know,
the story really shifts. I think a lot in this situation,
especially the shock of seeing that, of witnessing that crash,
(06:06):
up against the horror and sadness that you feel for
San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, for the first responders, for
his family, the family of Deputy Andrew Uniez, and I think.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
About these guys who wake up.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
You could say this for all first responders or people
who work in emergency situations or dangerous situations where obviously
I don't think you wake up every day thinking that
something like this is going to happen, but you know that,
you know that it's a possibility, and you go to
work knowing that that might happen, and your family has
to live with that notion. You just hope to God
that someday that that doesn't occur. Most of us don't
(06:44):
have that kind of job, or we wake up and
we might not come home tonight. And the amount of
respect that I have for somebody who willingly does that
in order to protect, especially in this case, a woman
who was being threatened in a domestic dispute.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Absolute, absolute tragedy, tough, stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
We'll keep you posted on where that procession goes, where
it is. We're also watching the Dodgers. Top of the
sixth blue Jay's up to bat foul ball, I believe
off of the bat of Kirk number thirty, Kirk Kirk Hawkins. No,
I don't know what, Kirk, But we got a lot
(07:33):
of show tonight. Like I said, those are the developing stories.
We'll give you more information when we get it. But
we're also talking about the government shutdown and how that's
going to impact snap benefits, those food stamps, and whether
in southern California, we've got a chance here for some
Santa Ana wind events, high fire situation here coming in
the next few days.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
We will get into that.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Temperatures will be above average, and we'll even have heat advisories.
We'll get into all that and plus red flag warnings.
And then on the other side of the country, or
at least way on the other side of the continent,
out in the Gulf, we're looking at a chance for
some hurricane force wins and some hurricanes hurricane Hurricane Melissa,
(08:15):
So we'll get into all of that.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Runner. It's a busy night here, it is Reese Meyer.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Oh what's happening in the KFI twenty four hour newsrooms.
KFI AM six forty Dodgers Blue Jay is still tied
here in the top of the sixth.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
We're keeping an eye on that.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
And of course, as soon as that game gets out,
oh boy, well, the traffic down there through Echo Park,
Chavez Ravine, we'd be just a nightmare. I want to
be just a nightmare. And here's what is in adding
insult to injury. In about ten minutes from now, Lakers
will play a game down there at the crypt Zombie Staples,
(08:54):
Zombie Staples, the Crypto Arena, the Bitcoin Basketball. So that's
going to be a nightmare of course, going down there
through uh the uh if you take the two Freeway
or the one ten or whatever through downtown Los Angeles,
try to cross over there to the one oh one,
maybe the five. Get back to where you belong. Yeah,
(09:17):
no fun. Not going to be a lot of fun.
So but of course we'll keep you posted on all
the updates as they become available. Famous people are watching.
They got Dodgers game as well. Jeff Goldbloom, Jack Black,
Jason Bateman, Justin Herbert and Madison Beer. Steve Corolla was
out there too, was he? You know, famous people. I'm
(09:38):
not surprised that they made time for this. Seems like
a very big deal. L A thing I was telling
everybody yesterday and how in Toronto at the the uh
the four it's called it used to be called the SkyDome.
What is it called now? Where the where the Blue
Jays play Roger Center. I knew it back as the
SkyDome because I'm an old ki that they have a
(10:04):
hotel that's in the actual stadium, so you could sit
there and you can watch the game in your robe
from your hotel.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Bet that's no joke.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
People found or what like, saw people getting a little
don and dirty one of those rooms.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
This is what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
If you're an exhibitionist, that's where you want to stay.
And you can tell how Canadian that place is. That
They didn't consider that, you know, because they're so polite.
They would never the Canadians don't do things like that,
so they were like, well, why would we.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Of course we're going to put a hotel room in there.
I think that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
I don't see it happening coming soon for a Dodger
stadium though. They're saying it's saying tickets or rather ticket
it's a room at the Roger Center hotel overnight for
one of the World Series games, some like ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
But you just got to get you.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
And ten of your friends to come and hang out
in a hotel room. And it's only a grand aage
to go see thee your team. If you're a Blue
Jays fan, who's to say, ron or would you do it?
Speaker 6 (11:06):
I'm not sure I've ever liked anything enough to spend
that kind of money.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Anything, Yeah, anything or anyone? Yeah, yeah, I hear.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
You, brother.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
It's it's it's a definitely one of those It's not
uh f me money, it's fu money.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
You would really have to have so much that you
can just burn it. You can just light it on fire,
that's what they say.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yeah, I think about that when you know I've learned something.
The other day, one of my coworkers was telling me
on the show we do for KTLA on the weekend
for Do It Live. He was saying that in Dubai,
you know, the people all have money there. They've all
got Bentley's and Lamborghinis and everything like that. And so
now the status symbol is short license plates. So if
you have like a license plate that only has a
(11:50):
couple of digits in it, if it's just one one
one or three five three or whatever, they sell those,
and they sell them for millions of dollars so that
you can have way to stand out among all of
your other Lamborghini driving friends.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Well, you wouldn't want to just have a regular old
garden variety white trash Lamborghini.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Of course, not with just a regular non vanity plate. Yeah,
please with like crazy crazy six five cug one one
one numbers or whatever. No thanks, how embarrassing. That's a
driver regular Lamborghini. Gross, don't even look at me with
that car. I mean, you might as well wear Lee
jeans while you're driving it. Oh what are we poor?
(12:30):
How silly? Lee jeans? That's a good callback. You've been
to Coles lately?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Probably? I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
In my life actually, hey man, I spent most of
my childhood at the Coles at eighty six eighty second
Street shopping plaza in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
Oh yeah, that's I keep forgetting that you grew up
there and I did some hard time there.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah, man, that there's no other way to describe being
there if you're not from there, than hard time.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
It was especially hard time.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
And I I haven't gone back since you worked in
newspapers there.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I did, Yeah, Ginnett. Yeah, I've been West Lafayette.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Right, Yeah, the Lafayette West Lafayette Metroplex.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
I just kind of transitioned straight from grad school to
the newspaper there. And uh, I don't know what I've
done with my life. Hey, you know I'm here now
and I love La. Yeah, No, we love it. I
love being say it. Say it and Angelino.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Ah, yes, of course, who does it?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Hello, fellow Angelino's I'm enjoying your evening. Well, instead of
talking about millions of dollars for license plates. As you know,
the government shutdown is entering its fourth week. What do
you get somebody as a gift for the fourth week
of the government shutdown? Is there like a thing you
do every week? Well, this week they're taking away food stamps.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
Yeah, give them a bag of food that's in lieu
of a more sentimental gift. Give them canned goods. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
The USDA is warning that snap benefits for forty million
Americans will stop November first, saying the well has run dry.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
My goodness, You're in the fourth week of the government
shut down, and the pain is becoming This is what
I said. You're in the fourth week of the government
shut down, and the pain is becoming real for many Americans.
Hundreds of thousands of federal workers just missed their first
full paychecks, and this week food stamp benefits for forty
million Americans will be cut off. Nicole Carellyon has more
(14:29):
from Capitol Hill.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
For the past twenty seven days, Sarah Lamb has continued
to go to work at a Social Security field office
without bay.
Speaker 8 (14:37):
I'm the head of my household. I'm the sole income
provider for my home. I'm a parent, I have two
small children. I carry the load in that sense. Not
having an end in sight, I think adds to that
anxiety and everything's very uncertain.
Speaker 7 (14:51):
She's one of nearly half a million federal workers who
missed their first full paycheck Friday.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
No money is no money, So if we're not being paid,
then obviously atits have to be made.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
I have a mortgage.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
It's only my name on the deeds to this house,
so if I don't pay it, I don't know who will.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
This week, thousands more are expected to get no pay,
including air traffic controllers. A series of staffing shortages Sunday
prompted a temporary groundstop at LAX, with additional delays reported
in Newark, Chicago, and Washington, d C.
Speaker 9 (15:23):
We had twenty two staffing triggers. That's one of the
highest that we've seen in the system since the shutdown began,
and that's a sign that the controllers are wearing thin.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
The US Department of Agriculture also issued a dollar warning
about the food Stamp program SNAP, which covers more than
forty million Americans. The agency bluntly stated on its website
the well has run dry at this time. There will
be no benefits issued November first.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
If the President was in DC rather than being overseas,
we could open up the government on Tuesday or Wednesday
and there wouldn't be any crisis in the food stamp program.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
There is an urgent need to reopen the government unface
the Nation.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Democratic leader Hakim Jeffries defended his party's strategy, insisting Republicans
must extend expiring text credits under the Affordable Care Act
to combat rising premiums as open enrollment begins at the
end of this week.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
That's why we need action, not simply words, a wing
and a prayer.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
No votes are currently scheduled on government funding, but there
are some bipartisan discussions on various measures to pay essential
and furloughed federal workers.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Tony Nicole, thank you very much, and thank you, Tony.
Very interesting. There.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
So forty million people would be impacted by this, which
essentially comes down to one in eight Americans that are
receiving some kind of food stamp benefits.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Whether they get a.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Lot of money a month or little money a month
is all sort of relative, of course. But Governor Jeff
Landry has issued a state of emergency for Louisiana over
the shutdown that is impacting SNAP benefits. The state of
emergency basically will allow them to direct money towards food
(17:12):
banks and getting people fed. And I know that in California,
CalFresh is what SNAP is called in California, that will
end up being part of that will be part of this,
so that the CalFresh benefits will also continue to be
impacted by the shutdown. Now, the USDA's shutdown Contingency Plan
(17:32):
allows the agency to tap into reserve funding to keep
SNAP operating if the federal government is more than a month.
That's where we are at the end of this week.
But the Trump administration says that it doesn't want to
do that, and so I guess it remains to be
seen here. So CalFresh expiring there at the end of
(17:55):
the week four to four right now in the World
Series Game three at dot Org Stadium, Blue Jays Dodgers
tied bottom of the sixth will keep you updated.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
It's KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
It's KFI AM six forty. I'm Andy Reesemeyer. If you
need to get in contact with me, you're more than
welcome to. You can go on the KFI iHeartRadio app
and find the little microphone. You can leave a talk
back there. That's where you can record up to thirty
seconds of your pithy thoughts and we'll play them on
the air. But that's if you don't want me to
talk back. You can also find me on Instagram at
(18:34):
Andy KTLA, where you can send me a message and
I will check it and if it's safe for work,
I'll talk about it. We're continuing on talking about the
weather in southern California.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Man, I hate seeing it.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Santa Anna win event, the first one of the season,
is starting tonight into tomorrow. Warm temperatures to the coast,
the valley's gusty wins, the typically wind prone corridors of
La Inventor of counties. We're talking about the canyons, talked
about mountains, those south face and slopes late this week
(19:10):
through the weekend. Temperatures above normal, above average, no rain
in the foreseeable future. Joining us to talk more about
it is Andrew Rourke, who is the Senior forecaster and
Aviation Program leader for the National Weather Service.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Andrew, thanks for being with us tonight.
Speaker 10 (19:30):
No problem going to be here.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
From one Andrew to another, I will say this, you
know when I see Santa Ana wind event and I
see your name, because I know a lot of times
when I hear you've been quoted by the media, it's
because we're talking about particularly dangerous situation. That sort of
PDS is what the National Weather Services used to talk about,
situations where they are these winds like we saw back
(19:54):
in the beginning of the year with the fires in January.
Are we anywhere near that kind of situation for this event?
Speaker 10 (20:01):
Not even close, but this is a would be kind
of a marginal event. Actually, it's just kind of on
the very edge of what a red flag warning condition
should be. So you know, again red flag warning conditions
are out there, fire danger is high. It is a
sant Ana wind event, but it is nowhere near the
(20:21):
conditions that we had last January, which is which is
summer relief. But still people are going to have to be,
you know, aware that you know, fire starts could be
turned into something very bad.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Thirty to fifty mile an hour winds is what I'm reading.
Is that still what we're expecting or is it a
little less now?
Speaker 10 (20:37):
No, that's about right typical with the maximum starting at
Santa Clarita Valley and then heading out into southwestern Ventura County,
but for most of the people in La County downtown area,
San Gabriel Valley won't see that much wind at all. Actually.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Yeah, And when you talk about fire starts and then
the wind Santa Ana win that can propel those kinds
of embers.
Speaker 10 (21:00):
You know.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Obviously the conditions that we had in January with the
extreme winds, we're talking about gusts of one hundred mile
an hour winds. It sustained winds in the fifty to
sixty seventy miles an hour, nothing like that. But also
a big problem I think during that time was that
there was a lot of fuel.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
There was a lot of dry brush.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Do we have the same kind of brush situation heading
into this fire season or at least this fall.
Speaker 10 (21:26):
Yeah, there's still quite a bit. In fact, even despite
the rains we had last week that really didn't absorb
that much water. So we're coming out of the August
September peak dry of the fuels, and there's still a
lot out there. So we have very dry fuels and
still quite a bit of them out there. So you know,
if the area hasn't burned recently, there's going to be
(21:47):
a lot of fuel on the ground.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
One of the things that I talked about on the
show yesterday was that this zone zero idea, which is
put forward by a lot of policy holder or policy
makers rather and insurance companies. It says we want to
get rid of all of the vegetation within five feet
of these homes. There's a lot of debate of thee
how important that is or how effective that is. Do
(22:09):
you have any thoughts as a as a meteorologist or
is that sort of outside of your purview?
Speaker 10 (22:15):
That definitely is out. So I would have to talk
to fire behavior experts that we can just tell them
what the what the weather conditions are going to be,
and then with the firemen make their best decisions on
how to fight the fire. Well, let's go far, how
to deploy resources?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Sure, sure, let's go very far to the east.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
We've got another major weather situation potentially much more dangerous
than our Santa Ana win event, which is Hurricane Melissa,
which as I as I was aware, maybe record breaking conditions.
Speaker 10 (22:44):
Oh yes, definitely a Cat five Now. In fact, I'm
looking at the high resolution satellite industry right now, it's
totally wound up. It's a very dangerous Cat five. It's
gonna Right now it's spinning harmlessly in the Gulf of Mexico,
not doing a lot. But once it moves to the north,
it's going to go over discing over Jamaica and Cuba
(23:05):
and then probably maybe head out toward Bermuda.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
So when it hits Jamaica over overnight their time. So
in the next few hours right for us, is it
still expected to be a pretty severe Category five hurricane.
Speaker 10 (23:22):
It might have it closes. One could do a category four,
but you know, you know, really you're talking not that much.
It might happen to col later. Looking at the satellite
right now, it's not really moving yet, so it really
hasn't picked up its heels and start moving in. But
it's going to do that, you know soon, I don't know, overnight,
maybe in the morning at some time. But yeah, the
rain is what's going to happen. They could get forty
(23:42):
inches of rain in eighteen twelve to eighteen hours. That's
along with the winds flattening everything. It's really could be
a turn to a catastrophic situation.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Right because you're talking about flooding, damaged infrastructure, difficulties in
getting people to where they need to be, evacuating them
from places. I mean, it's you know, Jamaica, wonderful place.
You know, it doesn't have the same kind of infrastructure
that maybe parts of the United States.
Speaker 10 (24:11):
Does, right right, and most of infrastructure is can be
either blown down or underwater. So it's going to be
it just it just does not look it looks like,
you know, one of these really really dumb, dangerous and
sad situations.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
When will they be out of the woods, and does
it bode well for Cuba, which I think is the
next stop for that storm.
Speaker 10 (24:32):
Let's see, it should be by the east coast time
with two pm Wednesday East coast time, so you know
that's uh, that's what about late morning, late morning our
time on Wednesday. It should be I'm sorry, I was
looking at Cuba. Yeah, at about two in the morning
tomorrow Wednesday, it should be out there. Looks like they're
(24:55):
looking for it to be over the land at two
pm tomorrow afternoon. Like I said, it's slowing down a
little bit. Yeah, then it's going to go over Cuba
early Wednesday morning and be out there Wednesday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Now will it Will it have have weakened by the
time it hits Cuba because of the fact that it
has gone over Jamaica or does that not really make is.
Speaker 10 (25:12):
Pretty insignificant And that's got some more water to re intensify,
so it should still be a cat for wow, and
it goes over Cuba and then it should go down
to a lesser step as it goes over to the Bahamas.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
And this is a situation where this is a slower
moving storm, and that's what you don't want because you
have more rain falling over a longer period of time.
Speaker 10 (25:32):
Correct, and more strong winds overse for everybody. Everything, all
the badness is for a longer duration.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
It's odd because we haven't talked a lot about I mean,
we hate to use the Q word of quiet, but
there there has been relatively little activity this season, and
this feels like a pretty late storm for a hurricane.
Speaker 10 (25:52):
Yeah, it was a little bit of a you can
say quiet in a pretty tigwhy season, but then we
had this one form up, so and yeah, it's a
little late in the season for hurricane, but it's not
definitely not unusual. And the waters they're just so warm
on ball this energy into the hurricanes. So yeah, definitely
not definitely not good, but not horrible unusual.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Well, Andrew, thank you so much for being here.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
That's a meteorologist, Andrew Rourke from the National Weather Service
who is helping us out through this coast and that
one as well. And I'm curious if you're got the
Dodgers up in one screen as well, in addition to
all the radar information.
Speaker 10 (26:31):
I got them on my style though, So watching so
tied up. Hopefully something that will.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Happen Okay, all right, I got bad news for you Toronto.
Just got another another run there. But he's on his
phone with us, so that's why you can't watch. So
I'll let you go there, Andrew, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
There he goes.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
So Santa Ana win. Event starting tomorrow, lasting until Wednesday.
It's going to be very dry, little windy conditions, thirty
to fifty mile an hour gusts. Expect low relative humidity,
which unfortunately contributes to those fire can but nothing like
we saw with a particularly dangerous situation that of course
led to the Eaten fire and the Palisades fire back
(27:07):
in January. It's caf I Am six forty. I'm Andy
Reespires caf I Am six forty. We're live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. Following this Game three of the World Series,
Dodgers versus Blue Rays, Blue Rays, What a moron, Get
this guy off the radio. It is Dodgers versus Blue Jays.
(27:29):
Dodgers now down one, Blue Jay's up five to four,
bottom of the seventh. It's tough because we talk about
boys in blue a lot, and boys in blue refers to,
of course, police officers. Dodgers. I've got blue Jays. There's
it's like, figure we had we gotta have a we
don't have a thingy.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
They wear white. They're wearing white tonight. No one feels
my pain?
Speaker 10 (27:56):
What's it?
Speaker 2 (27:56):
What's the name again, Andy Respire?
Speaker 10 (27:59):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
The baseball team? Kidding the Blue Jays there Toronto. Nice work.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Uh yeah, not Blue Rays? Four k on hddvd's the
Blue Jays?
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Man? Did you ever have an HDDVD player? Those guys
they bet on the wrong horse. Huh. I think I
have every iteration of every video format that that ever existed.
Are you big home theater guy? I even had a
laser disc kidding man.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
We moved into a house in the late nineties that
had a laser disc player in the basement, Like it
was built into the wall. That's how you know somebody
serious and uh in need of some help one hundred percent.
I was like the laser disc kid.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
I still got a bunch of them.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
I had to go far and wide to find. I
mean they were the size of records. Yeah, the resolution
is less than a DVD, it's still it.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Was a vast improvement on VHS totally, and it felt
like the future, except you had to flip it over.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I got the like every forty five minutes, which was
just comical.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
The other thing is that there were no laser disc
like you couldn't buy laser discs anywhere. This was the
late nineties, so I'm assuming they had even become passe
by that time.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Sam Goody had it. They had a laser disc sex
laser disc section.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
So but now laser disc sections are gone, just like
Sam Goody, that's true, a sign of the times. But
we couldn't, you know, you couldn't get anything at least
in Central Indiana on laser disc. You just were sort
of like whatever they had roaming around at the library
that they were getting rid of it, like the four
h fair or whatever. Like I think we had all
(29:38):
of the videos that documented like the space trips to NASA,
you know space trips rather NASA space trips to like
the the International Space Station, and Walter Kronkite would like
narrate them.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Are there some riveting viewing? Yeah, now we are in space.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
And because it was laser disc, you know, it was
only like a fifteen minute video. So we just watched
that over and over again. You wonder why I don't
have a better social life for more friends.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
No, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Yeah, here's your answer. I got one eye looking here.
On the Dodger game, five four, bottom of the seventh, Dodger's.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Up to bat.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Pagus is up right now, it's five. They're down five
to four. No, out, it's a full count. Let's see
if he does anything productive and no, no, he doesn't.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
And we have one to thank you, Sam.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Well back here in real life, Ellie County homeowners are
among the most house poor in the country.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Can I get it on men? Yes, man, oh man.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
You've often talked about the crisis of housing as it
relates to renters, but people who actually already own homes
are also feeling the pinch. House Poor, of course, is
the term used to describe somebody who spends a disparate
portionate amount of their income on housing costs, with a
little leftover for other expenses. According to this analysis, this
(31:06):
blows my mind. The typical household in Los Angeles earns
approximately eleven thousand dollars a month.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
It's not bad. It's what buck third buck.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Thirty three a year, something like that, but spends thirty
five hundred of it on housing costs, which is like,
who has a house that they spend thirty five hundred
dollars on which comes out to on average thirty two
percent of their income. My point is that feels low.
This is qualifying you for being house poor. And everybody
(31:38):
that I know is in that, like nearly fifty percent
of their incomes going to their house.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
It was a great move to let corporations snap up
all the houses black Rock Baby, the residential houses.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Oh did we get a home run? We got a
home run. Dodgers with a home run here.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
See, we just had to start that, We had to
start show hey again, this is the second one of
the game. That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Solo home run, eight home run in the postseason and
it's his second.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Home run tonight. Give him a raise. Dodgers Toronto tied.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Now, Dodgers Blue Jays tied, La Toronto tied the bottom
of the seventh, one out.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Give that man a raise. You know he doesn't make
enough money.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
No, no, let those Blu Rays have it. Sorry, I don't.
I'm not letting it go.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
No, please, don't. I deserve every bit of it.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
I can't imagine being an opposing pitcher facing h Otani. Yeah,
like that's got to be terrifying knowing that wherever you
put the ball, he's gonna crack it.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
I mean, is it fair to in a good way
call him a freak? Absolutely?
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Like this guy's the greatest art like you, you can
make seriously legit arguments that this is the best baseball
player of all time.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
I think a lot of people do, a lot of
people who are a lot smarter than I am. Maybe
not smarter than you. I know, you know a lot
of stuff, But unless you're Derek Jeter, I think everybody
pretty much thinks that this guys like Babe Ruth level.
I think by the end of Otani's career, Jeter's going
to be eating his words. I mean, really, at this
point of his career, they are legit calling him the
(33:11):
best player.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Of all time.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
I mean, he can pitch, he can hit. His pitching
is incredible, he is he is a great pitcher. He
and on top of that, he's dominant at the plate.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Yeah, well, two outs now, first strikeout here, Like we said,
bottom of the seventh, tied Blue Jays five.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Dodgers. Blue Jays tied five to five.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
You could see the crowd after he hit that one.
You could read the lips of people in the crowd
in Unison saying are you kidding him? Yep, that's outstanding. Well,
because if you only know baseball from movies, which Roner
and I maybe are those people pretty much?
Speaker 6 (33:52):
Ye? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Do you think that everybody hits a home run all
the time? It happened in the natural. Doesn't everybody do it?
Speaker 3 (33:58):
That's all right? You just you get bottom the night
bases loaded. Yeah, hit a walk off home run? You
do if you're Freddie Freeman. I was at the when
that happened last year. I was at the Morrison and Atwater.
I want to do a thing a little bit later
about what best bars to watch the World Series at.
But the Atwater location of the Morrison, or maybe I
(34:19):
was in the burbank when it doesn't matter where it was.
But it was just like, I've never been so happy
to be in a place with other people when something happened,
so that you could just be in that moment with everybody.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Well, the booze helps.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
The booze always helped. They've got a great spicy margarita there,
all right, Much more to come here in the next hour.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
House.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Poor Los Angeles high property tax it's tough out THEREFIM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
I'm Andy Reesmeyer be with you all the way tonight
until ten pm, alongside the very capable Mark Ronner. Hey
now from the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. What's the latest?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Just kidding? Also, we've got Sam on the ones and
twos once again. Good evening. How about this Dodger's tied?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah, since the last time that Conway was on down
by two and Freddie Freeman just hit hit? What did
he do?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I missed it because I was I was getting prepping
for the show.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
I think he got a base hit and he knocked
in Otani who was on second? Who who actually knocked
in an RBI himself earlier? So now it's all tied up.
It's a ballgame at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
You know.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Momentum is everything in sports. So I have heard people say,
can't verify for sure on my own, but I think
that that's probably true. And it's amazing to see the
vibe shift when you go from at least for the
first three or four innings Dodgers up by two nothing
and then all of a sudden, Uh, I think what
was that?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
It was tied or something like that, But we were
in a.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Situation where Dodgers were down by two and UH Blue
Jays four to two, So that felt very tense for
a minute. Kicked it into gear locked.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Cool. They're showing a watch party in Japan right now,
and all of them are Dodgers fans because of a
time of course. Cool knowing on the other side of
the pond, there's a lot of people cheering for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
So tide game now series tide. We are what at
the bottom of the sixth? Where are we going now?
I haven't I can't see it because the on screen graphics.
And again like I like I've said before, the fifth
right now, bottom of the fifth. Okay, so heading into
the uh, heading into the six still a lot of
baseball left. Been an interesting game, a lot of a
(01:54):
lot of UH excitement around the Dodgers. But I think
coming back from Toronto with some trepidy, with a little
bit of hesitation here because obviously we had a pretty
tough Friday night Saturday, much better this game. Hopefully the
Dodgers will be able to pull it out and put
us into a good position coming in because we've got
another game tomorrow and then another game here in Los
(02:17):
Angeles Chavez Ravine on Wednesday, So very very interesting stuff.
Will keep you posted, of course, in the big news today,
Shock following a police pursuit. That's how a lot of
people started to understand that this story was happening. Because
there was a police pursuit. All the local television stations
had the helicopters up watching on the two ten as
(02:40):
a suspect on a motorcycle was going up to one
hundred and thirty miles an hour, maybe even faster, evading police,
clipped the back of a car, went flying off. This
bike ended up in the uh on the side of
the freeway there, didn't die, was transported to a hospital,
(03:03):
but we found out a little later that he had
actually been involved in a domestic dispute. Deputies in San
Bernardino County were alerted to an armed man who was
threatening a woman in Rancho Cucamonga at around twelve thirty seven.
When they arrived, there must have been some kind of conversation.
Minutes later, the suspect allegedly opened fire, struck a deputy,
(03:25):
and that deputy the San Bernardino Sheriff's Departments, Deputy Andrew Nunez,
who unfortunately was struck and then died at a hospital
sometime later, six year veteran of the department, leaves behind
a wife and a two year old daughter. His wife
is expecting. He's a six year veteran of the San
(03:46):
Bernardino Sheriff's Department. And now the procession for this fallen
deputy weaving in and out of parts of San Bernardino
County from that hospital in Colton where the deputy was
now all over San Bernardino County where it is exactly
right now. I'm not sure we do have Sky five overhead.
(04:09):
If if you're out there looking in the locals, Channel
five is following this, and of course you see just
an array of lights and sirens, all of those first
responders out to pay their respects, be a part of
that procession for Deputy Andrew Nunez, who, as we said,
(04:30):
died today in the line of duty. There are a
couple of fire trucks with their ladders raised sky high,
an American flag draped between the two of them, and
I believe that this will the procession. As we said,
it's not quite yet underway. But what they're I think
(04:50):
they're doing right now is they're loading I'm assuming the
casket of Deputy Unya is onto a truck, onto a van,
and then they will weave in and out of parts
of San Bernardino County.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
And as you heard.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Conway saying, if you see a lot of lights and sirens,
if you see a lot of first responders paying respects
there too, that fallen deputy. That's what's going on there,
and we'll let you know as soon as we have
any more indication. But the other part of the story
is that because of that pursuit on the two ten
lane's still traffic still suffering there between Mountain Avenue and
(05:24):
Campus Avenue. CHP Sheriff's Department continuing that investigation, but the
suspect was airlifted to a hospital after that crash, crashed
into a vehicle who was driven by an off duty
officer who at some point made himself on duty and
then maybe intercepted that that pursuit suspect, led that pursuit
(05:45):
suspect to stop being a pursuit suspect or at least
stop being pursued. He was done, but in stable condition.
Was the last that we heard about him, But you know,
the story really shifts. I think a lot in this situation,
especially the shock of seeing that, of witnessing that crash,
(06:06):
up against the horror and sadness that you feel for
San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, for the first responders, for
his family, the family of Deputy Andrew Uniez, and I think.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
About these guys who wake up.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
You could say this for all first responders or people
who work in emergency situations or dangerous situations where obviously
I don't think you wake up every day thinking that
something like this is going to happen, but you know that,
you know that it's a possibility, and you go to
work knowing that that might happen, and your family has
to live with that notion. You just hope to God
that someday that that doesn't occur. Most of us don't
(06:44):
have that kind of job, or we wake up and
we might not come home tonight. And the amount of
respect that I have for somebody who willingly does that
in order to protect, especially in this case, a woman
who was being threatened in a domestic dispute.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Absolute, absolute tragedy, tough, stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
We'll keep you posted on where that procession goes, where
it is. We're also watching the Dodgers. Top of the
sixth blue Jay's up to bat foul ball, I believe
off of the bat of Kirk number thirty, Kirk Kirk Hawkins. No,
I don't know what, Kirk, But we got a lot
(07:33):
of show tonight. Like I said, those are the developing stories.
We'll give you more information when we get it. But
we're also talking about the government shutdown and how that's
going to impact snap benefits, those food stamps, and whether
in southern California, we've got a chance here for some
Santa Ana wind events, high fire situation here coming in
the next few days.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
We will get into that.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Temperatures will be above average, and we'll even have heat advisories.
We'll get into all that and plus red flag warnings.
And then on the other side of the country, or
at least way on the other side of the continent,
out in the Gulf, we're looking at a chance for
some hurricane force wins and some hurricanes hurricane Hurricane Melissa,
(08:15):
So we'll get into all of that.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Runner. It's a busy night here, it is Reese Meyer.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Oh what's happening in the KFI twenty four hour newsrooms.
KFI AM six forty Dodgers Blue Jay is still tied
here in the top of the sixth.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
We're keeping an eye on that.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
And of course, as soon as that game gets out,
oh boy, well, the traffic down there through Echo Park,
Chavez Ravine, we'd be just a nightmare. I want to
be just a nightmare. And here's what is in adding
insult to injury. In about ten minutes from now, Lakers
will play a game down there at the crypt Zombie Staples,
(08:54):
Zombie Staples, the Crypto Arena, the Bitcoin Basketball. So that's
going to be a nightmare of course, going down there
through uh the uh if you take the two Freeway
or the one ten or whatever through downtown Los Angeles,
try to cross over there to the one oh one,
maybe the five. Get back to where you belong. Yeah,
(09:17):
no fun. Not going to be a lot of fun.
So but of course we'll keep you posted on all
the updates as they become available. Famous people are watching.
They got Dodgers game as well. Jeff Goldbloom, Jack Black,
Jason Bateman, Justin Herbert and Madison Beer. Steve Corolla was
out there too, was he? You know, famous people. I'm
(09:38):
not surprised that they made time for this. Seems like
a very big deal. L A thing I was telling
everybody yesterday and how in Toronto at the the uh
the four it's called it used to be called the SkyDome.
What is it called now? Where the where the Blue
Jays play Roger Center. I knew it back as the
SkyDome because I'm an old ki that they have a
(10:04):
hotel that's in the actual stadium, so you could sit
there and you can watch the game in your robe
from your hotel.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Bet that's no joke.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
People found or what like, saw people getting a little
don and dirty one of those rooms.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
This is what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
If you're an exhibitionist, that's where you want to stay.
And you can tell how Canadian that place is. That
They didn't consider that, you know, because they're so polite.
They would never the Canadians don't do things like that,
so they were like, well, why would we.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Of course we're going to put a hotel room in there.
I think that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
I don't see it happening coming soon for a Dodger
stadium though. They're saying it's saying tickets or rather ticket
it's a room at the Roger Center hotel overnight for
one of the World Series games, some like ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
But you just got to get you.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
And ten of your friends to come and hang out
in a hotel room. And it's only a grand aage
to go see thee your team. If you're a Blue
Jays fan, who's to say, ron or would you do it?
Speaker 6 (11:06):
I'm not sure I've ever liked anything enough to spend
that kind of money.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Anything, Yeah, anything or anyone? Yeah, yeah, I hear.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
You, brother.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
It's it's it's a definitely one of those It's not
uh f me money, it's fu money.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
You would really have to have so much that you
can just burn it. You can just light it on fire,
that's what they say.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yeah, I think about that when you know I've learned something.
The other day, one of my coworkers was telling me
on the show we do for KTLA on the weekend
for Do It Live. He was saying that in Dubai,
you know, the people all have money there. They've all
got Bentley's and Lamborghinis and everything like that. And so
now the status symbol is short license plates. So if
you have like a license plate that only has a
(11:50):
couple of digits in it, if it's just one one
one or three five three or whatever, they sell those,
and they sell them for millions of dollars so that
you can have way to stand out among all of
your other Lamborghini driving friends.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Well, you wouldn't want to just have a regular old
garden variety white trash Lamborghini.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Of course, not with just a regular non vanity plate. Yeah,
please with like crazy crazy six five cug one one
one numbers or whatever. No thanks, how embarrassing. That's a
driver regular Lamborghini. Gross, don't even look at me with
that car. I mean, you might as well wear Lee
jeans while you're driving it. Oh what are we poor?
(12:30):
How silly? Lee jeans? That's a good callback. You've been
to Coles lately?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Probably? I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
In my life actually, hey man, I spent most of
my childhood at the Coles at eighty six eighty second
Street shopping plaza in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
Oh yeah, that's I keep forgetting that you grew up
there and I did some hard time there.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah, man, that there's no other way to describe being
there if you're not from there, than hard time.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
It was especially hard time.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
And I I haven't gone back since you worked in
newspapers there.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I did, Yeah, Ginnett. Yeah, I've been West Lafayette.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Right, Yeah, the Lafayette West Lafayette Metroplex.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
I just kind of transitioned straight from grad school to
the newspaper there. And uh, I don't know what I've
done with my life. Hey, you know I'm here now
and I love La. Yeah, No, we love it. I
love being say it. Say it and Angelino.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Ah, yes, of course, who does it?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Hello, fellow Angelino's I'm enjoying your evening. Well, instead of
talking about millions of dollars for license plates. As you know,
the government shutdown is entering its fourth week. What do
you get somebody as a gift for the fourth week
of the government shutdown? Is there like a thing you
do every week? Well, this week they're taking away food stamps.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
Yeah, give them a bag of food that's in lieu
of a more sentimental gift. Give them canned goods. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
The USDA is warning that snap benefits for forty million
Americans will stop November first, saying the well has run dry.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
My goodness, You're in the fourth week of the government
shut down, and the pain is becoming This is what
I said. You're in the fourth week of the government
shut down, and the pain is becoming real for many Americans.
Hundreds of thousands of federal workers just missed their first
full paychecks, and this week food stamp benefits for forty
million Americans will be cut off. Nicole Carellyon has more
(14:29):
from Capitol Hill.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
For the past twenty seven days, Sarah Lamb has continued
to go to work at a Social Security field office
without bay.
Speaker 8 (14:37):
I'm the head of my household. I'm the sole income
provider for my home. I'm a parent, I have two
small children. I carry the load in that sense. Not
having an end in sight, I think adds to that
anxiety and everything's very uncertain.
Speaker 7 (14:51):
She's one of nearly half a million federal workers who
missed their first full paycheck Friday.
Speaker 8 (14:57):
No money is no money, So if we're not being paid,
then obviously atits have to be made.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
I have a mortgage.
Speaker 8 (15:03):
It's only my name on the deeds to this house,
so if I don't pay it, I don't know who will.
Speaker 7 (15:08):
This week, thousands more are expected to get no pay,
including air traffic controllers. A series of staffing shortages Sunday
prompted a temporary groundstop at LAX, with additional delays reported
in Newark, Chicago, and Washington, d C.
Speaker 9 (15:23):
We had twenty two staffing triggers. That's one of the
highest that we've seen in the system since the shutdown began,
and that's a sign that the controllers are wearing thin.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
The US Department of Agriculture also issued a dollar warning
about the food Stamp program SNAP, which covers more than
forty million Americans. The agency bluntly stated on its website
the well has run dry at this time. There will
be no benefits issued November first.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
If the President was in DC rather than being overseas,
we could open up the government on Tuesday or Wednesday
and there wouldn't be any crisis in the food stamp program.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
There is an urgent need to reopen the government unface
the Nation.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Democratic leader Hakim Jeffries defended his party's strategy, insisting Republicans
must extend expiring text credits under the Affordable Care Act
to combat rising premiums as open enrollment begins at the
end of this week.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
That's why we need action, not simply words, a wing
and a prayer.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
No votes are currently scheduled on government funding, but there
are some bipartisan discussions on various measures to pay essential
and furloughed federal workers.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Tony Nicole, thank you very much, and thank you, Tony.
Very interesting. There.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
So forty million people would be impacted by this, which
essentially comes down to one in eight Americans that are
receiving some kind of food stamp benefits.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Whether they get a.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Lot of money a month or little money a month
is all sort of relative, of course. But Governor Jeff
Landry has issued a state of emergency for Louisiana over
the shutdown that is impacting SNAP benefits. The state of
emergency basically will allow them to direct money towards food
(17:12):
banks and getting people fed. And I know that in California,
CalFresh is what SNAP is called in California, that will
end up being part of that will be part of this,
so that the CalFresh benefits will also continue to be
impacted by the shutdown. Now, the USDA's shutdown Contingency Plan
(17:32):
allows the agency to tap into reserve funding to keep
SNAP operating if the federal government is more than a month.
That's where we are at the end of this week.
But the Trump administration says that it doesn't want to
do that, and so I guess it remains to be
seen here. So CalFresh expiring there at the end of
(17:55):
the week four to four right now in the World
Series Game three at dot Org Stadium, Blue Jays Dodgers
tied bottom of the sixth will keep you updated.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
It's KFI AM six forty.

talk back. You can also find me on Instagram at
(18:34):
Andy KTLA, where you can send me a message and
I will check it and if it's safe for work,
I'll talk about it. We're continuing on talking about the
weather in southern California.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Man, I hate seeing it.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Santa Anna win event, the first one of the season,
is starting tonight into tomorrow. Warm temperatures to the coast,
the valley's gusty wins, the typically wind prone corridors of
La Inventor of counties. We're talking about the canyons, talked
about mountains, those south face and slopes late this week
(19:10):
through the weekend. Temperatures above normal, above average, no rain
in the foreseeable future. Joining us to talk more about
it is Andrew Rourke, who is the Senior forecaster and
Aviation Program leader for the National Weather Service.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Andrew, thanks for being with us tonight.
Speaker 10 (19:30):
No problem going to be here.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
From one Andrew to another, I will say this, you
know when I see Santa Ana wind event and I
see your name, because I know a lot of times
when I hear you've been quoted by the media, it's
because we're talking about particularly dangerous situation. That sort of
PDS is what the National Weather Services used to talk about,
situations where they are these winds like we saw back
(19:54):
in the beginning of the year with the fires in January.
Are we anywhere near that kind of situation for this event?
Speaker 10 (20:01):
Not even close, but this is a would be kind
of a marginal event. Actually, it's just kind of on
the very edge of what a red flag warning condition
should be. So you know, again red flag warning conditions
are out there, fire danger is high. It is a
sant Ana wind event, but it is nowhere near the
(20:21):
conditions that we had last January, which is which is
summer relief. But still people are going to have to be,
you know, aware that you know, fire starts could be
turned into something very bad.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Thirty to fifty mile an hour winds is what I'm reading.
Is that still what we're expecting or is it a
little less now?
Speaker 10 (20:37):
No, that's about right typical with the maximum starting at
Santa Clarita Valley and then heading out into southwestern Ventura County,
but for most of the people in La County downtown area,
San Gabriel Valley won't see that much wind at all. Actually.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Yeah, And when you talk about fire starts and then
the wind Santa Ana win that can propel those kinds
of embers.
Speaker 10 (21:00):
You know.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Obviously the conditions that we had in January with the
extreme winds, we're talking about gusts of one hundred mile
an hour winds. It sustained winds in the fifty to
sixty seventy miles an hour, nothing like that. But also
a big problem I think during that time was that
there was a lot of fuel.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
There was a lot of dry brush.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Do we have the same kind of brush situation heading
into this fire season or at least this fall.
Speaker 10 (21:26):
Yeah, there's still quite a bit. In fact, even despite
the rains we had last week that really didn't absorb
that much water. So we're coming out of the August
September peak dry of the fuels, and there's still a
lot out there. So we have very dry fuels and
still quite a bit of them out there. So you know,
if the area hasn't burned recently, there's going to be
(21:47):
a lot of fuel on the ground.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
One of the things that I talked about on the
show yesterday was that this zone zero idea, which is
put forward by a lot of policy holder or policy
makers rather and insurance companies. It says we want to
get rid of all of the vegetation within five feet
of these homes. There's a lot of debate of thee
how important that is or how effective that is. Do
(22:09):
you have any thoughts as a as a meteorologist or
is that sort of outside of your purview?
Speaker 10 (22:15):
That definitely is out. So I would have to talk
to fire behavior experts that we can just tell them
what the what the weather conditions are going to be,
and then with the firemen make their best decisions on
how to fight the fire. Well, let's go far, how
to deploy resources?
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Sure, sure, let's go very far to the east.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
We've got another major weather situation potentially much more dangerous
than our Santa Ana win event, which is Hurricane Melissa,
which as I as I was aware, maybe record breaking conditions.
Speaker 10 (22:44):
Oh yes, definitely a Cat five Now. In fact, I'm
looking at the high resolution satellite industry right now, it's
totally wound up. It's a very dangerous Cat five. It's
gonna Right now it's spinning harmlessly in the Gulf of Mexico,
not doing a lot. But once it moves to the north,
it's going to go over discing over Jamaica and Cuba
(23:05):
and then probably maybe head out toward Bermuda.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
So when it hits Jamaica over overnight their time. So
in the next few hours right for us, is it
still expected to be a pretty severe Category five hurricane.
Speaker 10 (23:22):
It might have it closes. One could do a category four,
but you know, you know, really you're talking not that much.
It might happen to col later. Looking at the satellite
right now, it's not really moving yet, so it really
hasn't picked up its heels and start moving in. But
it's going to do that, you know soon, I don't know, overnight,
maybe in the morning at some time. But yeah, the
rain is what's going to happen. They could get forty
(23:42):
inches of rain in eighteen twelve to eighteen hours. That's
along with the winds flattening everything. It's really could be
a turn to a catastrophic situation.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Right because you're talking about flooding, damaged infrastructure, difficulties in
getting people to where they need to be, evacuating them
from places. I mean, it's you know, Jamaica, wonderful place.
You know, it doesn't have the same kind of infrastructure
that maybe parts of the United States.
Speaker 10 (24:11):
Does, right right, and most of infrastructure is can be
either blown down or underwater. So it's going to be
it just it just does not look it looks like,
you know, one of these really really dumb, dangerous and
sad situations.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
When will they be out of the woods, and does
it bode well for Cuba, which I think is the
next stop for that storm.
Speaker 10 (24:32):
Let's see, it should be by the east coast time
with two pm Wednesday East coast time, so you know
that's uh, that's what about late morning, late morning our
time on Wednesday. It should be I'm sorry, I was
looking at Cuba. Yeah, at about two in the morning
tomorrow Wednesday, it should be out there. Looks like they're
(24:55):
looking for it to be over the land at two
pm tomorrow afternoon. Like I said, it's slowing down a
little bit. Yeah, then it's going to go over Cuba
early Wednesday morning and be out there Wednesday afternoon.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Now will it Will it have have weakened by the
time it hits Cuba because of the fact that it
has gone over Jamaica or does that not really make is.
Speaker 10 (25:12):
Pretty insignificant And that's got some more water to re intensify,
so it should still be a cat for wow, and
it goes over Cuba and then it should go down
to a lesser step as it goes over to the Bahamas.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
And this is a situation where this is a slower
moving storm, and that's what you don't want because you
have more rain falling over a longer period of time.
Speaker 10 (25:32):
Correct, and more strong winds overse for everybody. Everything, all
the badness is for a longer duration.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
It's odd because we haven't talked a lot about I mean,
we hate to use the Q word of quiet, but
there there has been relatively little activity this season, and
this feels like a pretty late storm for a hurricane.
Speaker 10 (25:52):
Yeah, it was a little bit of a you can
say quiet in a pretty tigwhy season, but then we
had this one form up, so and yeah, it's a
little late in the season for hurricane, but it's not
definitely not unusual. And the waters they're just so warm
on ball this energy into the hurricanes. So yeah, definitely
not definitely not good, but not horrible unusual.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Well, Andrew, thank you so much for being here.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
That's a meteorologist, Andrew Rourke from the National Weather Service
who is helping us out through this coast and that
one as well. And I'm curious if you're got the
Dodgers up in one screen as well, in addition to
all the radar information.
Speaker 10 (26:31):
I got them on my style though, So watching so
tied up. Hopefully something that will.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Happen Okay, all right, I got bad news for you Toronto.
Just got another another run there. But he's on his
phone with us, so that's why you can't watch. So
I'll let you go there, Andrew, thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
There he goes.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
So Santa Ana win. Event starting tomorrow, lasting until Wednesday.
It's going to be very dry, little windy conditions, thirty
to fifty mile an hour gusts. Expect low relative humidity,
which unfortunately contributes to those fire can but nothing like
we saw with a particularly dangerous situation that of course
led to the Eaten fire and the Palisades fire back
(27:07):
in January. It's caf I Am six forty. I'm Andy
Reespires caf I Am six forty. We're live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. Following this Game three of the World Series,
Dodgers versus Blue Rays, Blue Rays, What a moron, Get
this guy off the radio. It is Dodgers versus Blue Jays.
(27:29):
Dodgers now down one, Blue Jay's up five to four,
bottom of the seventh. It's tough because we talk about
boys in blue a lot, and boys in blue refers to,
of course, police officers. Dodgers. I've got blue Jays. There's
it's like, figure we had we gotta have a we
don't have a thingy.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
They wear white. They're wearing white tonight. No one feels
my pain?
Speaker 10 (27:56):
What's it?
Speaker 2 (27:56):
What's the name again, Andy Respire?
Speaker 10 (27:59):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
The baseball team? Kidding the Blue Jays there Toronto. Nice work.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Uh yeah, not Blue Rays? Four k on hddvd's the
Blue Jays?
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Man? Did you ever have an HDDVD player? Those guys
they bet on the wrong horse. Huh. I think I
have every iteration of every video format that that ever existed.
Are you big home theater guy? I even had a
laser disc kidding man.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
We moved into a house in the late nineties that
had a laser disc player in the basement, Like it
was built into the wall. That's how you know somebody
serious and uh in need of some help one hundred percent.
I was like the laser disc kid.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
I still got a bunch of them.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
I had to go far and wide to find. I
mean they were the size of records. Yeah, the resolution
is less than a DVD, it's still it.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
Was a vast improvement on VHS totally, and it felt
like the future, except you had to flip it over.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I got the like every forty five minutes, which was
just comical.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
The other thing is that there were no laser disc
like you couldn't buy laser discs anywhere. This was the
late nineties, so I'm assuming they had even become passe
by that time.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Sam Goody had it. They had a laser disc sex
laser disc section.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
So but now laser disc sections are gone, just like
Sam Goody, that's true, a sign of the times. But
we couldn't, you know, you couldn't get anything at least
in Central Indiana on laser disc. You just were sort
of like whatever they had roaming around at the library
that they were getting rid of it, like the four
h fair or whatever. Like I think we had all
(29:38):
of the videos that documented like the space trips to NASA,
you know space trips rather NASA space trips to like
the the International Space Station, and Walter Kronkite would like
narrate them.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Are there some riveting viewing? Yeah, now we are in space.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
And because it was laser disc, you know, it was
only like a fifteen minute video. So we just watched
that over and over again. You wonder why I don't
have a better social life for more friends.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
No, I'm with you on that.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Yeah, here's your answer. I got one eye looking here.
On the Dodger game, five four, bottom of the seventh, Dodger's.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Up to bat.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Pagus is up right now, it's five. They're down five
to four. No, out, it's a full count. Let's see
if he does anything productive and no, no, he doesn't.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
And we have one to thank you, Sam.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Well back here in real life, Ellie County homeowners are
among the most house poor in the country.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Can I get it on men? Yes, man, oh man.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
You've often talked about the crisis of housing as it
relates to renters, but people who actually already own homes
are also feeling the pinch. House Poor, of course, is
the term used to describe somebody who spends a disparate
portionate amount of their income on housing costs, with a
little leftover for other expenses. According to this analysis, this
(31:06):
blows my mind. The typical household in Los Angeles earns
approximately eleven thousand dollars a month.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
It's not bad. It's what buck third buck.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Thirty three a year, something like that, but spends thirty
five hundred of it on housing costs, which is like,
who has a house that they spend thirty five hundred
dollars on which comes out to on average thirty two
percent of their income. My point is that feels low.
This is qualifying you for being house poor. And everybody
(31:38):
that I know is in that, like nearly fifty percent
of their incomes going to their house.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
It was a great move to let corporations snap up
all the houses black Rock Baby, the residential houses.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Oh did we get a home run? We got a
home run. Dodgers with a home run here.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
See, we just had to start that, We had to
start show hey again, this is the second one of
the game. That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Solo home run, eight home run in the postseason and
it's his second.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Home run tonight. Give him a raise. Dodgers Toronto tied.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Now, Dodgers Blue Jays tied, La Toronto tied the bottom
of the seventh, one out.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Give that man a raise. You know he doesn't make
enough money.
Speaker 6 (32:17):
No, no, let those Blu Rays have it. Sorry, I don't.
I'm not letting it go.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
No, please, don't. I deserve every bit of it.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
I can't imagine being an opposing pitcher facing h Otani. Yeah,
like that's got to be terrifying knowing that wherever you
put the ball, he's gonna crack it.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
I mean, is it fair to in a good way
call him a freak? Absolutely?
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Like this guy's the greatest art like you, you can
make seriously legit arguments that this is the best baseball
player of all time.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
I think a lot of people do, a lot of
people who are a lot smarter than I am. Maybe
not smarter than you. I know, you know a lot
of stuff, But unless you're Derek Jeter, I think everybody
pretty much thinks that this guys like Babe Ruth level.
I think by the end of Otani's career, Jeter's going
to be eating his words. I mean, really, at this
point of his career, they are legit calling him the
(33:11):
best player.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Of all time.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
I mean, he can pitch, he can hit. His pitching
is incredible, he is he is a great pitcher. He
and on top of that, he's dominant at the plate.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Yeah, well, two outs now, first strikeout here, Like we said,
bottom of the seventh, tied Blue Jays five.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Dodgers. Blue Jays tied five to five.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
You could see the crowd after he hit that one.
You could read the lips of people in the crowd
in Unison saying are you kidding him? Yep, that's outstanding. Well,
because if you only know baseball from movies, which Roner
and I maybe are those people pretty much?
Speaker 6 (33:52):
Ye? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Do you think that everybody hits a home run all
the time? It happened in the natural. Doesn't everybody do it?
Speaker 3 (33:58):
That's all right? You just you get bottom the night
bases loaded. Yeah, hit a walk off home run? You
do if you're Freddie Freeman. I was at the when
that happened last year. I was at the Morrison and Atwater.
I want to do a thing a little bit later
about what best bars to watch the World Series at.
But the Atwater location of the Morrison, or maybe I
(34:19):
was in the burbank when it doesn't matter where it was.
But it was just like, I've never been so happy
to be in a place with other people when something happened,
so that you could just be in that moment with everybody.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Well, the booze helps.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
The booze always helped. They've got a great spicy margarita there,
all right, Much more to come here in the next hour.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
House.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
