Speaker 2 (00:10):
KFI and KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
It's time for your morning wake up call.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Here's Amy King.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
Well, good morning, it is five o'clock, straight up.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
This is your wake up call for Monday, November tenth.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
I just walked into the studio and Will said, well,
you look pretty springy, and I've said, you know what,
it's because it doesn't feel like mid November.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
It feels more like summer, and we've got very summer
like temperatures coming today.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
So yeah, I'm in yellow and can yellow. Not quite
white pants, but to yellow. So there you have it.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
But we have some reports of some pretty thick fog
not up in my area, but we definitely have some foggy,
foggy conditions.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
So be careful as you get out and about and
hit the roads.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I made it back from Haseroebliss, where I spent at
the weekend and survived the Wicked Wine Run. My idea
of a great way to walk or run is to
do just what they did.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
You go and you walk.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
For a little while, and then you drink wine, love
it. It was lovely. It was lovely. So I hope that
you had a great weekend and I did and ready
to get back to it. So grab your coffee, grab
your donuts or your muffins, and let's get going.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Here's what's ahead on wake up Call.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
The Senate has reached a preliminary deal to end the
forty one day long government shutdown. The House and the
President would still need to approve it if it gets
final Senate approval, so the shutdown can tinues again.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
It's day forty one. ABC.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Stephen Portnoy is going to join us to tell us
more about the light at the end of the tunnel
for the shutdown. The Trousdale Estates area of Beverly Hills
has held an evacuation drill to prepare for the possibility
of wildfires. Residents of sixty eight homes in the Hillside
community were asked to get out of their homes yesterday afternoon.
Beverly Hills Police and Fire directed traffic and assisted about
(02:22):
two dozen households who participated in the drill. Have you
noticed it? Gas prices seem to be spiking again. Price
is up about twenty six cents a gallon. In the
last couple of weeks, the average price in La County
is up to four eighty nine. It's forty six in
OC and Riverside County gases averaging four to seventy seven
a gallon if.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
You're headed to the airport.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Well, yesterday was the worst day since the shutdown started.
ABC's Jim Bryan. Jim Ryan is going to bring in
this the latest on that in just a couple of minutes,
and we're getting all spaced out on wake up call.
Space junk is falling to Earth Blue Origin and spacexx
are planning launches, and Chinese astronauts are stranded in orbit.
Kfi's national correspondent Rory O'Neil has it all for us,
(03:05):
and that's coming up at five twenty. Let's get started
with some of the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. The Senate has voted to advance
a bill to end the forty day government shutdown, which
is into day forty one. Lawmakers secured enough Democratic support
late last night to move the bill forward without guaranteed
healthcare subsidies. Senator Tim Kaine, who voted in favors this
(03:28):
future talks on restoring those subsidies are part of the deal.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
We were in a situation where SNAP recipients were suffering
and there was no guarantee we would ever get to
an ACA solution. Now we've got robust SNAP funding and
a guaranteed vote, not a guaranteed outcome, but a guaranteed
vote on ACA tax REDUS.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
The Senate is due back this morning to work on
the legislation before it can head over to the House
and then to President Trump's desk. Former La Mayor Antonio
via Ragosa, who's running for governor, has criticized the Democratic
senators who voted to advance the funding agreement. He posted
on social media that some Senate Democrats are willing to
cave on a deal that has no concessions for healthcare.
(04:07):
Former Orange County Congresswoman Katie Porter, who's also running for governor,
says Democrats need to use their power just like they
did on election day to deliver for Americans. Dozens of
people have been heard in a bus crash on Highway
three thirty and running springs the hp SYS. Twenty of
the thirty six people on board were taken to the
hospital last night, with at least three listed as having
(04:29):
severe injuries. Highway three thirty, the main route to Big Bear.
Reports show the bus was on its way back to
Orange County when the crash happened. The University of California
has reached a tentative contract deal with the union representing
research staff, lab assistants in healthcare workers and has averted
a strike after seventeen months of bargaining. In three weeks
of mediation, both sides say they have found common ground.
(04:51):
The agreement still has to be approved by union members.
Will Rogers State Historic Park has reopened for the first
time in months.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
The Palisades Fire destroyed Will Rogers State Park's historic ranch
house and stables.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
But despite the loss of those facilities, the heart and
the spirit of this park has not been extinguished.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
Richard Fink with the California State Parks Department tells NBC
four about five miles of trails, the Polo fields, and
the main lawn are back in service. Members of the
community say this is a sign of hope.
Speaker 9 (05:19):
After so much damage and so much sadness that the
community had to face.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
It's actually, really it's a light and a glimmer of
hope that it's open.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
Other Brooker KFI News.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim,
we've got word that there is movement advancing the plan
to end the government's shutdown, but we're not there yet,
and air traffic is still a huge issue. So give
us the latest, please.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (05:46):
Well, if you check flight Aware, and that's the website
that tracks these things, the cancelations and delays nationwide. Total
delays today, almost eleven thousand cancelations, eight hundred and thirty seven.
A lot of these were put on the books yesterday,
the day before. The airlines answering this call from the
FAA to scale back their operations in response to the
(06:07):
shortage of air traffic controllers and Transportation Security Administration workers
those blue shirts. Take a look at LAX. Thirty one
flights have been canceled today. That's about three percent of
the schedule, and that's the inbound flights going out. It's
a slightly smaller number, but delays are still a big
problem nationwide too, Amy, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And we're not expect are we expecting them to get
worse because we're at four percent. Technically it's supposed to
go up to six percent tomorrow and then up to
ten percent on Friday if this shutdown doesn't end, So
it's only going to get worse.
Speaker 10 (06:39):
Even if it does end, you know, it's going to
take time to untangle the huge mess that's been created.
You know that the airlines allowed to sort of restart
their systems, get those flights back on the schedules, get
those passengers back in the seat. So yeah, even if
it ends today or in the next hour or two
or it'll still take some time because and I'll consider
this amy, a lot of the air traffic controllers, who
(07:00):
of course haven't been paid since the start of this
whole thing six seven weeks ago, some of them have
found other jobs because they had to put food on
the table, and they might not be back at all.
So what we had was a shortage of air traffic
controllers that could get even worse depending on what happens.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
And then do we have any knowledge, Gym of like,
once they do say okay, it's over and they signed
the bill and things technically restart, how long it might
take for those air traffic controllers then to get their
back pay.
Speaker 10 (07:31):
Oh, that's a great question, you know, And there'd been
talked with they might not get back pay and the
TSA agents are furious about that too, So you know,
you have to hope that the next time their paiday
comes along, if they're paid every other week, that that
next check would include that back paid for the last
seven eight weeks. So you know, it may be an
individual case by case sort of thing, but boy, you
(07:52):
just have to hope that they do get.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Their money all right.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Well, and in the meantime, how are airlines? I mean,
I know they're doing as much as they can to
alleviate the frustration and stuff, but they do they seem
to be kind of operating okay and people are being
understanding or is it really that people are just getting
super frustrated?
Speaker 10 (08:13):
Well hard does that? I mean, the big airlines to
the Southwest Delta American Airlines are feeling the heat here,
But so too are there subsidiaries, the smaller airlines like
Republic and Envoy Air, those that operate PSA airlines they
operate under the umbrella or those larger carriers, and they're
really feeling it too. So it's not just big airports,
(08:33):
it's smaller airports and smaller airlines as well.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And then I heard somebody I believe it was Katie Porter,
who's running for governor that she said, Oh, the rich
people are still getting to fly, but the private jets
are affected too, right, because it's all air traffic or
is it specifically aimed the reductions are specifically aimed at
the commercial jets?
Speaker 10 (08:55):
Well, no, Starting today, the FAA has said it'll effectively
prohibit business aviation at a dozen big airports, including LAX.
So it isn't just the commercial airliners, it's not just
the commercial cargo carriers, but it's also smaller corporate jets.
So if you try to book, if you say, forget it,
I'm not gonna fly commercially. If you can afford to,
why not to book a private jet? Even that might
(09:18):
not help you out today because the FAA, in order
to ease some of the pressure on air traffic controllers,
is prohibiting business aviation at those big airports.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Okay, all right, well we're not out of the woods,
but we have a light at the end of the tunnel.
Look listen to me in all night cliches and metaphors.
ABC's Jim Ryan, thank you so much, glad I could
finally hear you. Let's get back to some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
President Trump has pardoned Ruly Rudy Giuliani and others involved
(09:48):
in efforts to overturn the twenty twenty election. The Department
of Justice's Pardon Attorney Ed Martin posted the proclamation on
x It also names Sidney Powell and the President's former
chief of Mark Meadows, among dozens of others. The document reads,
this proclamation ends a grave national injustice perpetrated upon the
(10:08):
American people following the twenty twenty presidential election and continues
the process of national reconciliation. President Trump has posted on
his social media that tariffs will lead to a dividend
of two thousand dollars per person or even more, not
including high income people.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
He first suggested it back in August.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
It's something I consider how much with me?
Speaker 10 (10:29):
Also, I want to pay off that, but there's a
possibility I do a dividend.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
There is no specific proposal, and the Supreme Court's weighing
the legality of President Trump's tariffs. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson
says the import taxes are meant to return manufacturing to
the US. He told ABC yesterday he has not discussed
it with the President, but suggested a dividend could take
different forms, such as tax breaks on tips, overtime, and
(10:54):
social security. The Trump administrations facing new legal setbacks. Alex
Stone says a federal judge is ruled that the President
exceeded his authority by sending National Guard troops into Portland.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
On Friday, Trump appointed federal judge Karen Immergut issuing a
permanent injunction blocking troop deployment by the President into Portland.
The ruling finding the President did not have a lawful
basis to federalize the National Guard.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
The judge says the federal government exaggerated claims of violence
in the city and that there is no rebellion in Portland.
Russia and Ukraine have exchanged attacks on each other's power grids.
Several regions in Ukraine lost power yesterday after Russia launched
its largest strikes against power plants since the invasion began.
Kiev responded with a major drone counter attack that knocked
(11:41):
out power in the Russian city of Oranez. A powdered
infant formula has been linked to illnesses in more than
a dozen babies. ABC's Brian Clarks's Thirteen infants across ten
states have had to.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Go to the hospital because of botulism.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
The FDA says it was linked to baby formula believed
to be produced by buy Heart Incorporated.
Speaker 11 (12:01):
The whole Nutrition infant formula accounted for one percent of
national sales. According to the CDC. Parents are being urged
to monitor their babies closely because symptoms can take weeks
to develop.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
There are two affected lot numbers.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Anyone who had the product is urged to wash items
or surfaces with hot soapy water. The Powerball jackpot has
grown to four hundred and ninety million dollars. For tonight's drawing,
no one matched all six numbers to win the jackpot
on Saturday Night and a four hundred ninety million justice
and enough wait till tomorrow. The Mega Millions drawing is
(12:36):
approaching a billion dollars. Tomorrow night's drawing is worth nine
hundred million dollars. California Democratic Senators Alex Badia and Adam
Schiff have both voted against a bipartisan deal to and
the government shutdown, but eight Democratic senators voted in favor
of the plan to reopen the government until the end
of January. Restore snap benefits and agree to negotiate Obamacare subsidies.
(12:58):
It's not over yet, but it's getting there. A judge,
we'll hear a motion to dismiss murder charges against Fraser Bohm.
He's the now twenty four year old accused of crashing
into parked cars on PCHN Malibu, killing four Pepperdine University
sorority sisters. His new attorneys say there is insufficient evidence
to charge him with murder. A judge in April ruled
(13:19):
there was enough for the trial to proceed. President Trump
has done what thousands do every Sunday. He went to
an NFL game. The president was at the Washington Commander's
Detroit Lions game, which honored military veterans as part of
the NFL's Salute to Service. Trump sat in the announcers
booth during the third quarter. It was the first time
a president has gone to an NFL regular season games
(13:40):
since Jimmy Carter in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
At six oh five's.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Handle on the news. The mother of a nine year
old who hasn't been seen for a year has been arrested.
Bill's going to tell you about that.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Let's say good.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Morning now to kfi's national correspondent Rory O'Neill. Time to
get all spaced out, Rory, So tell us what's going
on in the sky above our head with falling debries?
Speaker 12 (14:02):
You did recognize that was the Battlestar Galactica theme. He
was playing for me to talk about space. That's why
we got that song. I think i'd like to think
that anyway.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Well, you actually are correct, Rory. That is right.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
But Kono has a wonderful way of working the music
and the voices together.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Just magic.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
It is magic, all right. Let's get spacey.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Sure. So we got three big space stories.
Speaker 12 (14:28):
Two of them involved China, one of them doesn't, So
let's stick with the domestic one. We were hoping that
yesterday we'd have a great, big, beautiful launch of New Glenn.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
New Glen is the.
Speaker 12 (14:38):
Second rocket to come from the Blue Origin Space Company,
the one founded by Jeff Bezos.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
His first rocket is that little.
Speaker 12 (14:44):
One that goes off in Texas and takes celebrities into
a low Earth orbit. But New Glenn is the real deal,
more than three hundred and twenty feet tall, capable of
carrying ninety nine thousand pounds of cargo. This is a
big deal. It's only launched once before. They we're going
to launch yesterday on a mission to Mars, but weather
got in the way. They're going to try again on Wednesday.
(15:06):
The Chinese space stories are interesting and both involved debris.
I don't know if you saw your feed over the weekend,
all these pictures about stuff entering the atmosphere across the southeast,
putting on a heck was it a.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Comet, a meteor? What was it?
Speaker 12 (15:21):
Turns out it was a piece of an old Chinese
rocket re entering the atmosphere. Didn't hit anything, but put
on a heck of a light show for people out
walking their dogs early Saturday morning. But it was harmless.
But it brings up the issue of debris and China
in particular because now.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
On China's space station.
Speaker 12 (15:41):
We have the International Space Station that we're in, but
China has its own, much smaller space station. They've got
astronauts who are stuck there because their ride home was
apparently hit by space debris. Wow, and now those three
astronauts don't have a way home.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
So their ship was destroyed, so they needed to send
a new one up.
Speaker 12 (16:01):
Well that could be it, and it wasn't destroyed. It
was in the space station and it was dinged up.
We don't know how bad. Is it cosmetic?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Is it serious?
Speaker 12 (16:09):
You know, trying to get straight answers out of China
is nearly impossible, so it's tough to figure out what
they're doing. But look, you had a crew of three
that was up there. Their new relief crew of three
showed up. But when the crew, the original crew of three,
tried to get in their ship to come home, that's
when they realized it was damaged. So there are two
ships up there that could bring home the crews. Maybe
(16:30):
the old crew takes the newer ship home and they
send up a dummy one. You know, they have to
figure out all that stuff. Maybe the other ship is
just fine. The internet is calling for Elon Musk to
come to the rescue. That seems unlikely, but yeah, you know,
we've been there before. You remember, we had our two
astronauts who were stuck on board the International Space Station
(16:50):
after their ship, their test.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Ship, the star Liner, got damaged during its flight.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Well, you know, it's better that the ship gets hit
than the space station itself.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
So that's that's the silver lining in this one, right.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
You know, I had it was last week and we
talked about it on wake up call that I was
on my way into work, So it was like three
thirty in the morning, and something came streaking across the sky,
very low and very large. It didn't look like a
shooting star. I'm wondering if that was more space drunk.
Speaker 12 (17:22):
Well, it could be junk A lot of times it
might if it was that one last week there was
an odd ball launched by the French, that an ariane
rocket that sort of took a weird trajectory that normally
doesn't happen. That might have caused that. That was something
that may have been an issue. But yeah, these things
are happening more and more. You've got SpaceX launching what
three times a week, four times a week these days.
(17:42):
There's a lot of stuff going up, and we know
the old tune what goes up?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Okay, Well we will keep looking up and look to
the stars and hope those Chinese astronauts get home safe.
And it's a little uh. I would imagine that's a
little nerve wrecking if they don't have spares.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
And I just suggested my intro song, So there you go.
The next time I'm with Okay.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
You got it.
Speaker 12 (18:03):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Kfi's national correspondent Rory O'Neil appreciate.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
It as always.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Thank baby, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
A federal appeals court has ruled full SNAP benefits must
be paid for November, but that order is on hold
because of a Supreme Court ruling that temporarily blocked a
judge's order last week. The Trump administration is expected to
appeal the latest ruling. The administration ordered states over the
weekend to reverse any full SNAP benefit payments made for November,
(18:30):
warning that they could lose federal funding or be on
the hook for the money. Several states, like California, have
already issued the benefits based on earlier guidance. Tell me
that's not confusing. All that's going on. California Governor Newsom
has rallied Democrats in Texas over the weekend. Newsom told
supporters in Houston why the passing of Prop fifty is
(18:51):
key for Democrats to gain control of the House in taking.
Speaker 10 (18:54):
Back the House of getting Speaker Jeffries.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Borned next November. It's the whole thing. It's the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
It is kind of sounds like a presidential candidate, doesn't
he Newsom's now headed to Brazil for the UN Climate Summit.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
A guy who.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Posed as a customer has stolen about ten thousand dollars
worth of clothes from a store in Glendale. The specialty
shop in Kenneth Village offers high end clothing brands and
other accessories. Security video shows the thief in the store
for about twenty minutes last week. Manager Anthony Montez tells
KTLA the guy kept asking about shoes and sizes.
Speaker 13 (19:34):
I went in the back rist for a second and
I heard, you know, rustling of our plastic protectors for
our clothes, and came back out and he was gone.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
The guy ran out with several luxury branded hoodies and
a Pikachu plush toy. Cleveland Guardians pitchers Luis Orte's and
Emmanuel Clace have been indicted on charges related to a
sports betting investigation. The two are believed to be part
of a scheme to intentionally throw balls instead of strikes
to make bets payoff. Prosecutors say it started as early
(20:05):
as May of twenty twenty three. Ortez was arrested yesterday
by the FBI in Boston. The two were placed on
leave by Major League Baseball this past summer because of
the investigation. Scientist James Watson, who shared a Nobel Prize
for helping discover the double helix shape of the DNL
DNA molecule, has died. Watson also helped guide efforts to
map the human genome. He was widely condemned for racist
(20:29):
remarks later on and left his job as chancellor of
the prestigious Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York. James
Watson was ninety seven. Ice skating has returned to Santa
Monica in these somewhat summer like temperatures. The eight thousand
square foot ice ring in the heart of downtown Santa
Monica has opened for its seventeenth season. It's opened daily
(20:49):
from noon to ten pm through January nineteenth. A skating
session costs twenty bucks and includes ice skate rentals. I'm
gonna have to go check that out. That sounds like fun,
especially when it's like eighty five degrees like it's going
to be today. Still has to happen to end the
government shutdown, which is now into its forty first day.
The Senate has taken the first step to end the
(21:09):
government shutdown. A group of Democrats voted in favor of
a plan to reopen the government without a guaranteed extension
of Obamacare subsidies that are expiring. The vote was sixty
to forty. If the plan gets final Senate approval, it
goes back to the House and then onto the President.
Nearly three hundred flights have been delayed eighty were canceled
at LAX for day number forty of the government shutdown.
(21:30):
Today's day forty one. Burbank, John Wayne, and Long Beach
airports were affected by the trickle down from the larger
airports nationwide. Yesterday, more than eighty six hundred flights were
delayed and nearly three thousand were canceled because of air
traffic reductions. YouTube has started issuing twenty dollars credits to
YouTube TV customers who still can't access Disney owned channels.
(21:53):
The two companies have not reached a deal to continue
to allow YouTube customers to watch ESPN, ABC and other
channels on it stream. Credits were scheduled to start going
out tomorrow at six o five at tandle on the news,
President Trump has pardoned Rudy Giuliani and others. Bill's going
to tell you for what and why? So Over the weekend,
we've been talking about these flight delays. We talked to
(22:15):
ABC's Jim Ryan that some of the airports have been
a mess. And remember will Cole Streiver, we told you
on Friday was going to be flying up to the
Bay Area to fly over the forty nine ers game.
Dang it lost to the Rams. And but so how
did it go? Because you're you're our eye in the sky.
Speaker 14 (22:33):
Well, I used small airports Burbank and up to up
to San Jose, and it was if you didn't know
there was something going on, you wouldn't have noticed any difference.
It was, honestly very The TSA was efficient and well
staffed and there were no delays.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
I lucked out, I know.
Speaker 14 (22:52):
I did see people who'd kind of camped out, like
they'd been there for a while. So there were people
that were definitely having a painful day, but it was
good for me.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Okay, Well, I'm glad to hear that. So maybe it's
not affecting everybody. But do still they're saying, you know,
make sure you stay in touch with your UH, with
your carrier, and make sure you get those the flight
tracking apps and watch your planes and all of that stuff.
Just to hopefully avoid some of the frustration and then
hopefully this will all be over soon.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Here's what's coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
The government shutdown is impacting travel beyond airports.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Travelers whose flights have been canceled or delayed are being
forced to hit the road or rails instead. Hurts reported
a twenty percent spike in one way car rentals, while
Turo and Avis are also seeing major increases. Amtrak says
Thanksgiving bookings could reach record highs, and Greyhound and Flick's
Bus are adding capacity for stranded passengers with uncertainty. Growing
(23:49):
travel experts urge Americans to stay flexible and plan backup
options ahead of the busy holiday rush. How the Brooker
KFI News.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Police are trying to find more vicvictims of a man
accused of using stolen identities and counterfeit cash to rent
apartments across LA. Investigators say the guy known as Egor
rented units in Hollywood and Larchmont back in September. The
LAPDI says Igor is black with dreadlocks and a beard
or goateee. A person who was pulled from under a
(24:20):
metro train on Westwood Boulevard's been taken to the hospital
in critical condition. First responders pulled the trapped person out
from under the train on the Expo Line yesterday morning.
The Westwood Rancho Park station was temporarily shut down because
of it. A nationwide recall of baby formula's been issued
because several children have come down with botulism. The California
Department of Public Health has alerted the CDC to a
(24:42):
multi state outbreak. The formula is by Heart Whole Nutrition
Infant Formula. Thirteen suspected or confirmed cases of infant botulism
have been reported across ten states since August. Texas Governor
Greg Abbott says he's looking to serve a fourth term.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Abbot made the announcement last night News.
Speaker 13 (25:00):
We will protect what we built, we will finish what
we started.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
We will lead Texas into his glorious future.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Abbot could become the state's longest serving governor if he
has voted back into office. Big Ten Conference officials have
called for usc to be penalized for a stunt pole
during a game. Reserve quarterback Sam Houard wore the same
jersey number as punter Sam Johnson and executed a fake
punt pass during Friday's game. Instead of punting the ball,
(25:31):
the Trojan's third string quarterback completed a long snap pass,
leading to a touchdown. USC went on to win the game.
The Big Ten cited an NCAA rule under unfair tactics
reading two players playing the same position may not wear
the same number during the game, and said it is
reviewing the situation.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
That sounds kinda interesting, doesn't it?
Speaker 4 (25:55):
All?
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Right?
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Time to get in your business.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
With Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini. Good morning, Denise, Hey, good morning Amy.
I hope you had a great weekend. Yeah I did,
because I wasn't at the airport. So let's talk about
the travelers and the shutdown.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
What happens if it ends?
Speaker 8 (26:11):
I mean, you would think there's all this talk, right
you guys have been reporting that the Senate is working,
you know, on this compromise, and we may see the
shutdown end at some point in the next couple days.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
But even if it ends, apparently that doesn't mean your.
Speaker 8 (26:27):
Travel problems are over because many of the canceled flights
were full. Those flyers now are getting onto other planes
or trying to get onto other planes, Meaning if you're
trying to get on a last minute plane and your
flight's probably full, you're gonna have to get on another plane.
So there's a whole snowball effect from that. Also, the
airlines have to get the planes two places right to
(26:48):
fly them back out again, and it'll take time as
well to get all the air traffic controllers back to
work where they're supposed to be after they started moonlighting
or maybe just taking a break and going out a
backpacking trips since they weren't getting paid regularly during the shutdown.
There is one thing you can do, though, and that
is by that travel insurance. It does not actually cover,
(27:09):
you know, a cancelation for incidentals. If there is a shutdown,
you will get a refund for your flight if it's
canceled of course for the shutdown, but you know, all
the extras that you maybe had to pay, travel insurance
will pick that up. If the airline doesn't say it's
because of the shutdown and the airline and canceling some
of these flights are just saying, you know, general problems
(27:30):
is the reason.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
If that's the case, you can collect on that airline insurance. Okay,
speaking of collecting things, when you go out to dinner.
The restaurants collect a lot of money if you have
a party of six or more, and that hicks me off.
I hate that charge, but apparently that might be going
away me too.
Speaker 8 (27:47):
I have a tip for you that they make you
feel better that annoying gratuity charge that you mentioned, which
I really dislike to partly because like, they bury that
charge so small on page five five of whatever wrinkled
up thing you get, And then you have to ask
them is there a gratuity in there? And half the
time they don't want to, they don't tell you, or
(28:08):
they don't want to know, and then you double tip,
which happened to me the other day. But restaurants may
start dropping that extra gratuity. What it's usually if there
are six people or more, it's fifteen or twenty percent.
The reason is amy that President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill
Act no taxes on tips, and that gratuity is not
(28:31):
a tip, meaning the staff will have to pay taxes
on that income just like any other salary they get.
You can deduct up to twenty five thousand dollars in
tips year, but that gratuity will not be a tip,
So that may be a weird unintended consequence of the
big beautiful bill, which is that that charge may go away,
that may just become you know.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
A straight tip.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Okay, well, okay, I still think that we should have
the option to tip or not tip.
Speaker 8 (28:57):
Well you will if they take this gratuity away, then
you will have the option right as opposed to or
not as opposed to it being forced here, you will
pay eighteen percent even if you get crappy service. But
as someone who waitressed, I got to tell you, you know,
those big groups sometimes they just don't get it together
and remember to tip, and you wait on you know,
ten fifteen people spend your night doing it and get
(29:18):
no tip. So I kind of get it, even though
I really dislike it as a customer.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Okay, if you hate your thirty year mortgage, just.
Speaker 8 (29:25):
Wait, yeah, because you know how you can get a
longer and longer duration car loan.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
Now, right, it's not just like five years and.
Speaker 8 (29:33):
It's like seven years now, and the attractive thing is
that lowers the monthly payment. So now Bill Poulty, director
of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, who's very close to
President Trump, is talking about the possibility of.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
A fifty year mortgage. So think about it.
Speaker 8 (29:48):
You know, instead of an eighteen hundred dollars or twenty
five hundred dollars payment, that could drive the payment way down,
you know, to somewhere closer.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
To twelve hundred dollars.
Speaker 8 (29:56):
There is a danger to this, though it's very seductive,
these lower month payments. But people are more likely to
be foreclosed in the first few years of their mortgage
because they own less of their home the bank owns more,
so it's easier to walk away, easier to go underwater.
And also people kind of mess up a lot more,
apparently earlier on. So that does mean that consumers could
be more vulnerable, all right.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Getting in your business like we do every weekday with
Bloomberg's denneyse Pelgrini.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Thanks, Denise, have a great day.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Talk to you tomorrow. We'll talk about pasta tomorrow. Okay, Oh,
I'm always game to talk about pasta.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Highway three thirty to Big Bear remains closed after a
bus rolled over on the winding mountain road. Twenty nine passengers,
many of them children, were hurt. Thirty six people in
total were on the bus that was headed back to
Orange County last night when it crashed Cleveland Guardians pitchers
Luis or Te's and Emmanuel Place have been indicted on
(30:48):
charges related to a sports betting investigation. The tour believed
to be involved in a scheme to intentionally throw balls
during games so betters could wager on it and then
win bets. Prosecutors say it started as early as May
of twenty twenty three. Both have been placed on leave
by MLB. President Trump says he's planning to give almost
every American a tariff dividend of two thousand dollars. In
(31:10):
a true social post, he said the payments would be
made to everyone except high income people. The Supreme Court
still weighing whether Trump's tariffs are legal. The tariffs stay
in place until the court makes the decision. Let's say
good morning too, ABC's Stephen Portnoy.
Speaker 5 (31:24):
So, Stephen, looks like we may have a deal.
Speaker 13 (31:28):
We have agreement to move to a measure that would
fund the government through the end of January. Look, let
me make this more clear and concise. Okay, a shutdown
end is in sight. It could happen by the end
of the week. A lot still has to happen between
now and then. But the filibuster has been broken. Eight
(31:51):
Democrats last night voted with Republicans. Total was sixty votes
in favor forty against, just enough to end the filibuster
and move on to measure that would end the shutdown
fun government agencies through the end of January and.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Get everybody back on track.
Speaker 13 (32:06):
What did Democrats get out of it, Well, a lot
of activists say they got nothing.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
At all, and there is a rift.
Speaker 13 (32:13):
Unlike others we've seen on the left over this, Democratic
activists across the country are furious that several Democrats in
the Senate, eight of them, would vote with Republicans to
end the shutdown and get everything back on track. The
progressives say that they were supposed to be standing for
(32:35):
an extension of expiring Obamacare subsidies, and all the agreement
is is a handshake to have a vote next month
on something related to the expiration of subsidies, but no
one knows what that vote will be, and there's no
guarantee it'll actually see a vote in the House. Now
you've got leaders of both parties who acknowledged the idea
(32:56):
that there's a problem here with health care costs set
to a dramatic increase, But some Republicans believe that the
problem with the cost of health insurance is Obamacare itself,
not the shifting of costs in the subsidies that are
expiring that we're only supposed to be for COVID anyway.
So there's no broad plan here. It's merely to end
(33:20):
the shutdown right now as soon as possible and have
a broader conversation about what to do next.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
And you said that there were eight that when Haad
and voted with the Republicans, which gave them the sixty
which breaks the Philip buster. And just for clarification, there
are fifty three Republican Senators, but Rand Paul votes against it.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
That is correct.
Speaker 13 (33:44):
So you have fifty two Republicans and eight Democrats.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
So that's why you need the eight Democrats as opposed
to the seven. And there's no way it ends today.
I mean, even if they wanted to, they can't because
even if it got final approval in the Senate, it
still has some more steps to get or urdles to
get pasted.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (34:01):
The bottom line is the House has to approve it too,
and the House is still out in the country. And
Speaker Johnson has said, well, you know, once the Senate
Acts will give you thirty six hours notice to get
back to DC.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Good luck with air traffic control.
Speaker 13 (34:13):
And right, and then we'll have a vote in the
House and then send it to the President's desk, and
assuming that everything else is okay with this measure, the
President will sign it and then that'll end the shutdown.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
His signature will end the shutdown. But you also have
to know that one of.
Speaker 13 (34:29):
The provisions in this agreement coming out of the Senate
is to reverse any layoffs that took place, any RIFFS
reductions in force over the course of the shutdown. And famously,
the head of the Office of Management Budget, Russ Vote,
said that there would be thousands of positions eliminated within
the federal government for no reason that was clearly articulated,
(34:50):
except to say that they felt that it wasn't in
line with the president's priorities. Thousands of federal employees were
told that they would be let go. Some of those
people wound up getting notices that they're elimination was reversed
because oh, they happened to work at the CDC and
disease investigations or you know, at the Energy Department managing
the country's nuclear stockpile or something along those lines. And anyway,
(35:13):
the bill that's now being moved forward in the Senate
would require that each of those people who were laid
off be reinstated.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Is this administration going to go along with that?
Speaker 5 (35:22):
We'll find out, Yes, we will. Okay, so we're not
forty one and done. I was so looking forward to
saying that, but I can't not yet.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
All right, ABC, Stephen Portner, thanks so much for the information.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
We appreciate it as always. You bet, Let's get back to.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
four hour newsroom. Gas prices in La County, Europe for

The group now has a permanent home on Colorado Boulevard,
open to all girls between the ages of thirteen and seventeen,
(36:50):
across the San Gabriel Valley.
Speaker 11 (36:52):
I think that what makes it special is that there's
not really any expectations while you're here. There isn't a
need to look a certain way or act to certain
ways of space.
Speaker 5 (37:00):
You could just be, Culvert tells NBC four.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
The space features cozy lounges, music rooms, and even free clothing.

This is your wake up call for Monday, November tenth.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
I just walked into the studio and Will said, well,
you look pretty springy, and I've said, you know what,
it's because it doesn't feel like mid November.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
It feels more like summer, and we've got very summer
like temperatures coming today.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
So yeah, I'm in yellow and can yellow. Not quite
white pants, but to yellow. So there you have it.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
But we have some reports of some pretty thick fog
not up in my area, but we definitely have some foggy,
foggy conditions.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
So be careful as you get out and about and
hit the roads.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I made it back from Haseroebliss, where I spent at
the weekend and survived the Wicked Wine Run. My idea
of a great way to walk or run is to
do just what they did.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
You go and you walk.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
For a little while, and then you drink wine, love
it. It was lovely. It was lovely. So I hope that
you had a great weekend and I did and ready
to get back to it. So grab your coffee, grab
your donuts or your muffins, and let's get going.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Here's what's ahead on wake up Call.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
The Senate has reached a preliminary deal to end the
forty one day long government shutdown. The House and the
President would still need to approve it if it gets
final Senate approval, so the shutdown can tinues again.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
It's day forty one. ABC.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Stephen Portnoy is going to join us to tell us
more about the light at the end of the tunnel
for the shutdown. The Trousdale Estates area of Beverly Hills
has held an evacuation drill to prepare for the possibility
of wildfires. Residents of sixty eight homes in the Hillside
community were asked to get out of their homes yesterday afternoon.
Beverly Hills Police and Fire directed traffic and assisted about
(02:22):
two dozen households who participated in the drill. Have you
noticed it? Gas prices seem to be spiking again. Price
is up about twenty six cents a gallon. In the
last couple of weeks, the average price in La County
is up to four eighty nine. It's forty six in
OC and Riverside County gases averaging four to seventy seven
a gallon if.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
You're headed to the airport.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Well, yesterday was the worst day since the shutdown started.
ABC's Jim Bryan. Jim Ryan is going to bring in
this the latest on that in just a couple of minutes,
and we're getting all spaced out on wake up call.
Space junk is falling to Earth Blue Origin and spacexx
are planning launches, and Chinese astronauts are stranded in orbit.
Kfi's national correspondent Rory O'Neil has it all for us,
(03:05):
and that's coming up at five twenty. Let's get started
with some of the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. The Senate has voted to advance
a bill to end the forty day government shutdown, which
is into day forty one. Lawmakers secured enough Democratic support
late last night to move the bill forward without guaranteed
healthcare subsidies. Senator Tim Kaine, who voted in favors this
(03:28):
future talks on restoring those subsidies are part of the deal.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
We were in a situation where SNAP recipients were suffering
and there was no guarantee we would ever get to
an ACA solution. Now we've got robust SNAP funding and
a guaranteed vote, not a guaranteed outcome, but a guaranteed
vote on ACA tax REDUS.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
The Senate is due back this morning to work on
the legislation before it can head over to the House
and then to President Trump's desk. Former La Mayor Antonio
via Ragosa, who's running for governor, has criticized the Democratic
senators who voted to advance the funding agreement. He posted
on social media that some Senate Democrats are willing to
cave on a deal that has no concessions for healthcare.
(04:07):
Former Orange County Congresswoman Katie Porter, who's also running for governor,
says Democrats need to use their power just like they
did on election day to deliver for Americans. Dozens of
people have been heard in a bus crash on Highway
three thirty and running springs the hp SYS. Twenty of
the thirty six people on board were taken to the
hospital last night, with at least three listed as having
(04:29):
severe injuries. Highway three thirty, the main route to Big Bear.
Reports show the bus was on its way back to
Orange County when the crash happened. The University of California
has reached a tentative contract deal with the union representing
research staff, lab assistants in healthcare workers and has averted
a strike after seventeen months of bargaining. In three weeks
of mediation, both sides say they have found common ground.
(04:51):
The agreement still has to be approved by union members.
Will Rogers State Historic Park has reopened for the first
time in months.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
The Palisades Fire destroyed Will Rogers State Park's historic ranch
house and stables.
Speaker 8 (05:04):
But despite the loss of those facilities, the heart and
the spirit of this park has not been extinguished.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
Richard Fink with the California State Parks Department tells NBC
four about five miles of trails, the Polo fields, and
the main lawn are back in service. Members of the
community say this is a sign of hope.
Speaker 9 (05:19):
After so much damage and so much sadness that the
community had to face.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
It's actually, really it's a light and a glimmer of
hope that it's open.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
Other Brooker KFI News.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jim Ryan. So, Jim,
we've got word that there is movement advancing the plan
to end the government's shutdown, but we're not there yet,
and air traffic is still a huge issue. So give
us the latest, please.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (05:46):
Well, if you check flight Aware, and that's the website
that tracks these things, the cancelations and delays nationwide. Total
delays today, almost eleven thousand cancelations, eight hundred and thirty seven.
A lot of these were put on the books yesterday,
the day before. The airlines answering this call from the
FAA to scale back their operations in response to the
(06:07):
shortage of air traffic controllers and Transportation Security Administration workers
those blue shirts. Take a look at LAX. Thirty one
flights have been canceled today. That's about three percent of
the schedule, and that's the inbound flights going out. It's
a slightly smaller number, but delays are still a big
problem nationwide too, Amy, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And we're not expect are we expecting them to get
worse because we're at four percent. Technically it's supposed to
go up to six percent tomorrow and then up to
ten percent on Friday if this shutdown doesn't end, So
it's only going to get worse.
Speaker 10 (06:39):
Even if it does end, you know, it's going to
take time to untangle the huge mess that's been created.
You know that the airlines allowed to sort of restart
their systems, get those flights back on the schedules, get
those passengers back in the seat. So yeah, even if
it ends today or in the next hour or two
or it'll still take some time because and I'll consider
this amy, a lot of the air traffic controllers, who
(07:00):
of course haven't been paid since the start of this
whole thing six seven weeks ago, some of them have
found other jobs because they had to put food on
the table, and they might not be back at all.
So what we had was a shortage of air traffic
controllers that could get even worse depending on what happens.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
And then do we have any knowledge, Gym of like,
once they do say okay, it's over and they signed
the bill and things technically restart, how long it might
take for those air traffic controllers then to get their
back pay.
Speaker 10 (07:31):
Oh, that's a great question, you know, And there'd been
talked with they might not get back pay and the
TSA agents are furious about that too, So you know,
you have to hope that the next time their paiday
comes along, if they're paid every other week, that that
next check would include that back paid for the last
seven eight weeks. So you know, it may be an
individual case by case sort of thing, but boy, you
(07:52):
just have to hope that they do get.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Their money all right.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Well, and in the meantime, how are airlines? I mean,
I know they're doing as much as they can to
alleviate the frustration and stuff, but they do they seem
to be kind of operating okay and people are being
understanding or is it really that people are just getting
super frustrated?
Speaker 10 (08:13):
Well hard does that? I mean, the big airlines to
the Southwest Delta American Airlines are feeling the heat here,
But so too are there subsidiaries, the smaller airlines like
Republic and Envoy Air, those that operate PSA airlines they
operate under the umbrella or those larger carriers, and they're
really feeling it too. So it's not just big airports,
(08:33):
it's smaller airports and smaller airlines as well.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And then I heard somebody I believe it was Katie Porter,
who's running for governor that she said, Oh, the rich
people are still getting to fly, but the private jets
are affected too, right, because it's all air traffic or
is it specifically aimed the reductions are specifically aimed at
the commercial jets?
Speaker 10 (08:55):
Well, no, Starting today, the FAA has said it'll effectively
prohibit business aviation at a dozen big airports, including LAX.
So it isn't just the commercial airliners, it's not just
the commercial cargo carriers, but it's also smaller corporate jets.
So if you try to book, if you say, forget it,
I'm not gonna fly commercially. If you can afford to,
why not to book a private jet? Even that might
(09:18):
not help you out today because the FAA, in order
to ease some of the pressure on air traffic controllers,
is prohibiting business aviation at those big airports.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Okay, all right, well we're not out of the woods,
but we have a light at the end of the tunnel.
Look listen to me in all night cliches and metaphors.
ABC's Jim Ryan, thank you so much, glad I could
finally hear you. Let's get back to some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
President Trump has pardoned Ruly Rudy Giuliani and others involved
(09:48):
in efforts to overturn the twenty twenty election. The Department
of Justice's Pardon Attorney Ed Martin posted the proclamation on
x It also names Sidney Powell and the President's former
chief of Mark Meadows, among dozens of others. The document reads,
this proclamation ends a grave national injustice perpetrated upon the
(10:08):
American people following the twenty twenty presidential election and continues
the process of national reconciliation. President Trump has posted on
his social media that tariffs will lead to a dividend
of two thousand dollars per person or even more, not
including high income people.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
He first suggested it back in August.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
It's something I consider how much with me?
Speaker 10 (10:29):
Also, I want to pay off that, but there's a
possibility I do a dividend.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
There is no specific proposal, and the Supreme Court's weighing
the legality of President Trump's tariffs. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson
says the import taxes are meant to return manufacturing to
the US. He told ABC yesterday he has not discussed
it with the President, but suggested a dividend could take
different forms, such as tax breaks on tips, overtime, and
(10:54):
social security. The Trump administrations facing new legal setbacks. Alex
Stone says a federal judge is ruled that the President
exceeded his authority by sending National Guard troops into Portland.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
On Friday, Trump appointed federal judge Karen Immergut issuing a
permanent injunction blocking troop deployment by the President into Portland.
The ruling finding the President did not have a lawful
basis to federalize the National Guard.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
The judge says the federal government exaggerated claims of violence
in the city and that there is no rebellion in Portland.
Russia and Ukraine have exchanged attacks on each other's power grids.
Several regions in Ukraine lost power yesterday after Russia launched
its largest strikes against power plants since the invasion began.
Kiev responded with a major drone counter attack that knocked
(11:41):
out power in the Russian city of Oranez. A powdered
infant formula has been linked to illnesses in more than
a dozen babies. ABC's Brian Clarks's Thirteen infants across ten
states have had to.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Go to the hospital because of botulism.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
The FDA says it was linked to baby formula believed
to be produced by buy Heart Incorporated.
Speaker 11 (12:01):
The whole Nutrition infant formula accounted for one percent of
national sales. According to the CDC. Parents are being urged
to monitor their babies closely because symptoms can take weeks
to develop.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
There are two affected lot numbers.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Anyone who had the product is urged to wash items
or surfaces with hot soapy water. The Powerball jackpot has
grown to four hundred and ninety million dollars. For tonight's drawing,
no one matched all six numbers to win the jackpot
on Saturday Night and a four hundred ninety million justice
and enough wait till tomorrow. The Mega Millions drawing is
(12:36):
approaching a billion dollars. Tomorrow night's drawing is worth nine
hundred million dollars. California Democratic Senators Alex Badia and Adam
Schiff have both voted against a bipartisan deal to and
the government shutdown, but eight Democratic senators voted in favor
of the plan to reopen the government until the end
of January. Restore snap benefits and agree to negotiate Obamacare subsidies.
(12:58):
It's not over yet, but it's getting there. A judge,
we'll hear a motion to dismiss murder charges against Fraser Bohm.
He's the now twenty four year old accused of crashing
into parked cars on PCHN Malibu, killing four Pepperdine University
sorority sisters. His new attorneys say there is insufficient evidence
to charge him with murder. A judge in April ruled
(13:19):
there was enough for the trial to proceed. President Trump
has done what thousands do every Sunday. He went to
an NFL game. The president was at the Washington Commander's
Detroit Lions game, which honored military veterans as part of
the NFL's Salute to Service. Trump sat in the announcers
booth during the third quarter. It was the first time
a president has gone to an NFL regular season games
(13:40):
since Jimmy Carter in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
At six oh five's.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Handle on the news. The mother of a nine year
old who hasn't been seen for a year has been arrested.
Bill's going to tell you about that.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Let's say good.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Morning now to kfi's national correspondent Rory O'Neill. Time to
get all spaced out, Rory, So tell us what's going
on in the sky above our head with falling debries?
Speaker 12 (14:02):
You did recognize that was the Battlestar Galactica theme. He
was playing for me to talk about space. That's why
we got that song. I think i'd like to think
that anyway.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Well, you actually are correct, Rory. That is right.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
But Kono has a wonderful way of working the music
and the voices together.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Just magic.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
It is magic, all right. Let's get spacey.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Sure. So we got three big space stories.
Speaker 12 (14:28):
Two of them involved China, one of them doesn't, So
let's stick with the domestic one. We were hoping that
yesterday we'd have a great, big, beautiful launch of New Glenn.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
New Glen is the.
Speaker 12 (14:38):
Second rocket to come from the Blue Origin Space Company,
the one founded by Jeff Bezos.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
His first rocket is that little.
Speaker 12 (14:44):
One that goes off in Texas and takes celebrities into
a low Earth orbit. But New Glenn is the real deal,
more than three hundred and twenty feet tall, capable of
carrying ninety nine thousand pounds of cargo. This is a
big deal. It's only launched once before. They we're going
to launch yesterday on a mission to Mars, but weather
got in the way. They're going to try again on Wednesday.
(15:06):
The Chinese space stories are interesting and both involved debris.
I don't know if you saw your feed over the weekend,
all these pictures about stuff entering the atmosphere across the southeast,
putting on a heck was it a.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Comet, a meteor? What was it?
Speaker 12 (15:21):
Turns out it was a piece of an old Chinese
rocket re entering the atmosphere. Didn't hit anything, but put
on a heck of a light show for people out
walking their dogs early Saturday morning. But it was harmless.
But it brings up the issue of debris and China
in particular because now.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
On China's space station.
Speaker 12 (15:41):
We have the International Space Station that we're in, but
China has its own, much smaller space station. They've got
astronauts who are stuck there because their ride home was
apparently hit by space debris. Wow, and now those three
astronauts don't have a way home.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
So their ship was destroyed, so they needed to send
a new one up.
Speaker 12 (16:01):
Well that could be it, and it wasn't destroyed. It
was in the space station and it was dinged up.
We don't know how bad. Is it cosmetic?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Is it serious?
Speaker 12 (16:09):
You know, trying to get straight answers out of China
is nearly impossible, so it's tough to figure out what
they're doing. But look, you had a crew of three
that was up there. Their new relief crew of three
showed up. But when the crew, the original crew of three,
tried to get in their ship to come home, that's
when they realized it was damaged. So there are two
ships up there that could bring home the crews. Maybe
(16:30):
the old crew takes the newer ship home and they
send up a dummy one. You know, they have to
figure out all that stuff. Maybe the other ship is
just fine. The internet is calling for Elon Musk to
come to the rescue. That seems unlikely, but yeah, you know,
we've been there before. You remember, we had our two
astronauts who were stuck on board the International Space Station
(16:50):
after their ship, their test.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Ship, the star Liner, got damaged during its flight.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Well, you know, it's better that the ship gets hit
than the space station itself.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
So that's that's the silver lining in this one, right.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
You know, I had it was last week and we
talked about it on wake up call that I was
on my way into work, So it was like three
thirty in the morning, and something came streaking across the sky,
very low and very large. It didn't look like a
shooting star. I'm wondering if that was more space drunk.
Speaker 12 (17:22):
Well, it could be junk A lot of times it
might if it was that one last week there was
an odd ball launched by the French, that an ariane
rocket that sort of took a weird trajectory that normally
doesn't happen. That might have caused that. That was something
that may have been an issue. But yeah, these things
are happening more and more. You've got SpaceX launching what
three times a week, four times a week these days.
(17:42):
There's a lot of stuff going up, and we know
the old tune what goes up?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Okay, Well we will keep looking up and look to
the stars and hope those Chinese astronauts get home safe.
And it's a little uh. I would imagine that's a
little nerve wrecking if they don't have spares.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
And I just suggested my intro song, So there you go.
The next time I'm with Okay.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
You got it.
Speaker 12 (18:03):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Kfi's national correspondent Rory O'Neil appreciate.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
It as always.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Thank baby, all right.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
A federal appeals court has ruled full SNAP benefits must
be paid for November, but that order is on hold
because of a Supreme Court ruling that temporarily blocked a
judge's order last week. The Trump administration is expected to
appeal the latest ruling. The administration ordered states over the
weekend to reverse any full SNAP benefit payments made for November,
(18:30):
warning that they could lose federal funding or be on
the hook for the money. Several states, like California, have
already issued the benefits based on earlier guidance. Tell me
that's not confusing. All that's going on. California Governor Newsom
has rallied Democrats in Texas over the weekend. Newsom told
supporters in Houston why the passing of Prop fifty is
(18:51):
key for Democrats to gain control of the House in taking.
Speaker 10 (18:54):
Back the House of getting Speaker Jeffries.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Borned next November. It's the whole thing. It's the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
It is kind of sounds like a presidential candidate, doesn't
he Newsom's now headed to Brazil for the UN Climate Summit.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
A guy who.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Posed as a customer has stolen about ten thousand dollars
worth of clothes from a store in Glendale. The specialty
shop in Kenneth Village offers high end clothing brands and
other accessories. Security video shows the thief in the store
for about twenty minutes last week. Manager Anthony Montez tells
KTLA the guy kept asking about shoes and sizes.
Speaker 13 (19:34):
I went in the back rist for a second and
I heard, you know, rustling of our plastic protectors for
our clothes, and came back out and he was gone.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
The guy ran out with several luxury branded hoodies and
a Pikachu plush toy. Cleveland Guardians pitchers Luis Orte's and
Emmanuel Clace have been indicted on charges related to a
sports betting investigation. The two are believed to be part
of a scheme to intentionally throw balls instead of strikes
to make bets payoff. Prosecutors say it started as early
(20:05):
as May of twenty twenty three. Ortez was arrested yesterday
by the FBI in Boston. The two were placed on
leave by Major League Baseball this past summer because of
the investigation. Scientist James Watson, who shared a Nobel Prize
for helping discover the double helix shape of the DNL
DNA molecule, has died. Watson also helped guide efforts to
map the human genome. He was widely condemned for racist
(20:29):
remarks later on and left his job as chancellor of
the prestigious Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York. James
Watson was ninety seven. Ice skating has returned to Santa
Monica in these somewhat summer like temperatures. The eight thousand
square foot ice ring in the heart of downtown Santa
Monica has opened for its seventeenth season. It's opened daily
(20:49):
from noon to ten pm through January nineteenth. A skating
session costs twenty bucks and includes ice skate rentals. I'm
gonna have to go check that out. That sounds like fun,
especially when it's like eighty five degrees like it's going
to be today. Still has to happen to end the
government shutdown, which is now into its forty first day.
The Senate has taken the first step to end the
(21:09):
government shutdown. A group of Democrats voted in favor of
a plan to reopen the government without a guaranteed extension
of Obamacare subsidies that are expiring. The vote was sixty
to forty. If the plan gets final Senate approval, it
goes back to the House and then onto the President.
Nearly three hundred flights have been delayed eighty were canceled
at LAX for day number forty of the government shutdown.
(21:30):
Today's day forty one. Burbank, John Wayne, and Long Beach
airports were affected by the trickle down from the larger
airports nationwide. Yesterday, more than eighty six hundred flights were
delayed and nearly three thousand were canceled because of air
traffic reductions. YouTube has started issuing twenty dollars credits to
YouTube TV customers who still can't access Disney owned channels.
(21:53):
The two companies have not reached a deal to continue
to allow YouTube customers to watch ESPN, ABC and other
channels on it stream. Credits were scheduled to start going
out tomorrow at six o five at tandle on the news,
President Trump has pardoned Rudy Giuliani and others. Bill's going
to tell you for what and why? So Over the weekend,
we've been talking about these flight delays. We talked to
(22:15):
ABC's Jim Ryan that some of the airports have been
a mess. And remember will Cole Streiver, we told you
on Friday was going to be flying up to the
Bay Area to fly over the forty nine ers game.
Dang it lost to the Rams. And but so how
did it go? Because you're you're our eye in the sky.
Speaker 14 (22:33):
Well, I used small airports Burbank and up to up
to San Jose, and it was if you didn't know
there was something going on, you wouldn't have noticed any difference.
It was, honestly very The TSA was efficient and well
staffed and there were no delays.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
I lucked out, I know.
Speaker 14 (22:52):
I did see people who'd kind of camped out, like
they'd been there for a while. So there were people
that were definitely having a painful day, but it was
good for me.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Okay, Well, I'm glad to hear that. So maybe it's
not affecting everybody. But do still they're saying, you know,
make sure you stay in touch with your UH, with
your carrier, and make sure you get those the flight
tracking apps and watch your planes and all of that stuff.
Just to hopefully avoid some of the frustration and then
hopefully this will all be over soon.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
We'll see.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Here's what's coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
The government shutdown is impacting travel beyond airports.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Travelers whose flights have been canceled or delayed are being
forced to hit the road or rails instead. Hurts reported
a twenty percent spike in one way car rentals, while
Turo and Avis are also seeing major increases. Amtrak says
Thanksgiving bookings could reach record highs, and Greyhound and Flick's
Bus are adding capacity for stranded passengers with uncertainty. Growing
(23:49):
travel experts urge Americans to stay flexible and plan backup
options ahead of the busy holiday rush. How the Brooker
KFI News.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Police are trying to find more vicvictims of a man
accused of using stolen identities and counterfeit cash to rent
apartments across LA. Investigators say the guy known as Egor
rented units in Hollywood and Larchmont back in September. The
LAPDI says Igor is black with dreadlocks and a beard
or goateee. A person who was pulled from under a
(24:20):
metro train on Westwood Boulevard's been taken to the hospital
in critical condition. First responders pulled the trapped person out
from under the train on the Expo Line yesterday morning.
The Westwood Rancho Park station was temporarily shut down because
of it. A nationwide recall of baby formula's been issued
because several children have come down with botulism. The California
Department of Public Health has alerted the CDC to a
(24:42):
multi state outbreak. The formula is by Heart Whole Nutrition
Infant Formula. Thirteen suspected or confirmed cases of infant botulism
have been reported across ten states since August. Texas Governor
Greg Abbott says he's looking to serve a fourth term.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Abbot made the announcement last night News.
Speaker 13 (25:00):
We will protect what we built, we will finish what
we started.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
We will lead Texas into his glorious future.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Abbot could become the state's longest serving governor if he
has voted back into office. Big Ten Conference officials have
called for usc to be penalized for a stunt pole
during a game. Reserve quarterback Sam Houard wore the same
jersey number as punter Sam Johnson and executed a fake
punt pass during Friday's game. Instead of punting the ball,
(25:31):
the Trojan's third string quarterback completed a long snap pass,
leading to a touchdown. USC went on to win the game.
The Big Ten cited an NCAA rule under unfair tactics
reading two players playing the same position may not wear
the same number during the game, and said it is
reviewing the situation.
Speaker 5 (25:51):
That sounds kinda interesting, doesn't it?
Speaker 4 (25:55):
All?
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Right?
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Time to get in your business.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
With Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini. Good morning, Denise, Hey, good morning Amy.
I hope you had a great weekend. Yeah I did,
because I wasn't at the airport. So let's talk about
the travelers and the shutdown.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
What happens if it ends?
Speaker 8 (26:11):
I mean, you would think there's all this talk, right
you guys have been reporting that the Senate is working,
you know, on this compromise, and we may see the
shutdown end at some point in the next couple days.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
But even if it ends, apparently that doesn't mean your.
Speaker 8 (26:27):
Travel problems are over because many of the canceled flights
were full. Those flyers now are getting onto other planes
or trying to get onto other planes, Meaning if you're
trying to get on a last minute plane and your
flight's probably full, you're gonna have to get on another plane.
So there's a whole snowball effect from that. Also, the
airlines have to get the planes two places right to
(26:48):
fly them back out again, and it'll take time as
well to get all the air traffic controllers back to
work where they're supposed to be after they started moonlighting
or maybe just taking a break and going out a
backpacking trips since they weren't getting paid regularly during the shutdown.
There is one thing you can do, though, and that
is by that travel insurance. It does not actually cover,
(27:09):
you know, a cancelation for incidentals. If there is a shutdown,
you will get a refund for your flight if it's
canceled of course for the shutdown, but you know, all
the extras that you maybe had to pay, travel insurance
will pick that up. If the airline doesn't say it's
because of the shutdown and the airline and canceling some
of these flights are just saying, you know, general problems
(27:30):
is the reason.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
If that's the case, you can collect on that airline insurance. Okay,
speaking of collecting things, when you go out to dinner.
The restaurants collect a lot of money if you have
a party of six or more, and that hicks me off.
I hate that charge, but apparently that might be going
away me too.
Speaker 8 (27:47):
I have a tip for you that they make you
feel better that annoying gratuity charge that you mentioned, which
I really dislike to partly because like, they bury that
charge so small on page five five of whatever wrinkled
up thing you get, And then you have to ask
them is there a gratuity in there? And half the
time they don't want to, they don't tell you, or
(28:08):
they don't want to know, and then you double tip,
which happened to me the other day. But restaurants may
start dropping that extra gratuity. What it's usually if there
are six people or more, it's fifteen or twenty percent.
The reason is amy that President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill
Act no taxes on tips, and that gratuity is not
(28:31):
a tip, meaning the staff will have to pay taxes
on that income just like any other salary they get.
You can deduct up to twenty five thousand dollars in
tips year, but that gratuity will not be a tip,
So that may be a weird unintended consequence of the
big beautiful bill, which is that that charge may go away,
that may just become you know.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
A straight tip.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Okay, well, okay, I still think that we should have
the option to tip or not tip.
Speaker 8 (28:57):
Well you will if they take this gratuity away, then
you will have the option right as opposed to or
not as opposed to it being forced here, you will
pay eighteen percent even if you get crappy service. But
as someone who waitressed, I got to tell you, you know,
those big groups sometimes they just don't get it together
and remember to tip, and you wait on you know,
ten fifteen people spend your night doing it and get
(29:18):
no tip. So I kind of get it, even though
I really dislike it as a customer.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Okay, if you hate your thirty year mortgage, just.
Speaker 8 (29:25):
Wait, yeah, because you know how you can get a
longer and longer duration car loan.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
Now, right, it's not just like five years and.
Speaker 8 (29:33):
It's like seven years now, and the attractive thing is
that lowers the monthly payment. So now Bill Poulty, director
of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, who's very close to
President Trump, is talking about the possibility of.
Speaker 5 (29:45):
A fifty year mortgage. So think about it.
Speaker 8 (29:48):
You know, instead of an eighteen hundred dollars or twenty
five hundred dollars payment, that could drive the payment way down,
you know, to somewhere closer.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
To twelve hundred dollars.
Speaker 8 (29:56):
There is a danger to this, though it's very seductive,
these lower month payments. But people are more likely to
be foreclosed in the first few years of their mortgage
because they own less of their home the bank owns more,
so it's easier to walk away, easier to go underwater.
And also people kind of mess up a lot more,
apparently earlier on. So that does mean that consumers could
be more vulnerable, all right.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Getting in your business like we do every weekday with
Bloomberg's denneyse Pelgrini.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Thanks, Denise, have a great day.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Talk to you tomorrow. We'll talk about pasta tomorrow. Okay, Oh,
I'm always game to talk about pasta.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Highway three thirty to Big Bear remains closed after a
bus rolled over on the winding mountain road. Twenty nine passengers,
many of them children, were hurt. Thirty six people in
total were on the bus that was headed back to
Orange County last night when it crashed Cleveland Guardians pitchers
Luis or Te's and Emmanuel Place have been indicted on
(30:48):
charges related to a sports betting investigation. The tour believed
to be involved in a scheme to intentionally throw balls
during games so betters could wager on it and then
win bets. Prosecutors say it started as early as May
of twenty twenty three. Both have been placed on leave
by MLB. President Trump says he's planning to give almost
every American a tariff dividend of two thousand dollars. In
(31:10):
a true social post, he said the payments would be
made to everyone except high income people. The Supreme Court
still weighing whether Trump's tariffs are legal. The tariffs stay
in place until the court makes the decision. Let's say
good morning too, ABC's Stephen Portnoy.
Speaker 5 (31:24):
So, Stephen, looks like we may have a deal.
Speaker 13 (31:28):
We have agreement to move to a measure that would
fund the government through the end of January. Look, let
me make this more clear and concise. Okay, a shutdown
end is in sight. It could happen by the end
of the week. A lot still has to happen between
now and then. But the filibuster has been broken. Eight
(31:51):
Democrats last night voted with Republicans. Total was sixty votes
in favor forty against, just enough to end the filibuster
and move on to measure that would end the shutdown
fun government agencies through the end of January and.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Get everybody back on track.
Speaker 13 (32:06):
What did Democrats get out of it, Well, a lot
of activists say they got nothing.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
At all, and there is a rift.
Speaker 13 (32:13):
Unlike others we've seen on the left over this, Democratic
activists across the country are furious that several Democrats in
the Senate, eight of them, would vote with Republicans to
end the shutdown and get everything back on track. The
progressives say that they were supposed to be standing for
(32:35):
an extension of expiring Obamacare subsidies, and all the agreement
is is a handshake to have a vote next month
on something related to the expiration of subsidies, but no
one knows what that vote will be, and there's no
guarantee it'll actually see a vote in the House. Now
you've got leaders of both parties who acknowledged the idea
(32:56):
that there's a problem here with health care costs set
to a dramatic increase, But some Republicans believe that the
problem with the cost of health insurance is Obamacare itself,
not the shifting of costs in the subsidies that are
expiring that we're only supposed to be for COVID anyway.
So there's no broad plan here. It's merely to end
(33:20):
the shutdown right now as soon as possible and have
a broader conversation about what to do next.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
And you said that there were eight that when Haad
and voted with the Republicans, which gave them the sixty
which breaks the Philip buster. And just for clarification, there
are fifty three Republican Senators, but Rand Paul votes against it.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
That is correct.
Speaker 13 (33:44):
So you have fifty two Republicans and eight Democrats.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
So that's why you need the eight Democrats as opposed
to the seven. And there's no way it ends today.
I mean, even if they wanted to, they can't because
even if it got final approval in the Senate, it
still has some more steps to get or urdles to
get pasted.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (34:01):
The bottom line is the House has to approve it too,
and the House is still out in the country. And
Speaker Johnson has said, well, you know, once the Senate
Acts will give you thirty six hours notice to get
back to DC.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Good luck with air traffic control.
Speaker 13 (34:13):
And right, and then we'll have a vote in the
House and then send it to the President's desk, and
assuming that everything else is okay with this measure, the
President will sign it and then that'll end the shutdown.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
His signature will end the shutdown. But you also have
to know that one of.
Speaker 13 (34:29):
The provisions in this agreement coming out of the Senate
is to reverse any layoffs that took place, any RIFFS
reductions in force over the course of the shutdown. And famously,
the head of the Office of Management Budget, Russ Vote,
said that there would be thousands of positions eliminated within
the federal government for no reason that was clearly articulated,
(34:50):
except to say that they felt that it wasn't in
line with the president's priorities. Thousands of federal employees were
told that they would be let go. Some of those
people wound up getting notices that they're elimination was reversed
because oh, they happened to work at the CDC and
disease investigations or you know, at the Energy Department managing
the country's nuclear stockpile or something along those lines. And anyway,
(35:13):
the bill that's now being moved forward in the Senate
would require that each of those people who were laid
off be reinstated.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Is this administration going to go along with that?
Speaker 5 (35:22):
We'll find out, Yes, we will. Okay, so we're not
forty one and done. I was so looking forward to
saying that, but I can't not yet.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
All right, ABC, Stephen Portner, thanks so much for the information.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
We appreciate it as always. You bet, Let's get back to.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty
four hour newsroom. Gas prices in La County, Europe for
the eleventh day in a row.
Speaker 9 (35:42):
The four tenths of a cent increase brings the average
price to four dollars and eighty nine cents. The average
price for a dell of self serve regular gas is
up by more than twenty six cents over the past
eleven days. The Phillips sixty six refinery is closing down
and it's no longer making gasoline. There are also maintenance
issues that other refineries. Tripa A says imports from Canada

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
