o'clock start.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
It's horrible, Okay, So Padres and Cubs at noon, and
then Dodgers and Cincinnati at Dodger Stadium again at six
oh eight. Here's what to head on wake up call.
This Wednesday, the government this Parsley shut down. Senate Democrats
voted down a Republican bill to keep funding the government
(01:49):
hours before the deadline. That paved the way for the
government to shut down at midnight. The vote was fifty
five to forty five. Sixty votes were needed to pass
the spending plan. So now that we're shut down, let's
take a look at what led to it, what happens next.
We're going to be talking with ABC's Karen Travers. That's
coming up in just a couple of minutes, and then
a little bit later we'll be chatting with the ABC's
(02:10):
Caleb Silver to tell us who all is affected, what
stays open, what doesn't, all that fun stuff. The La
City Councils happroved a plan to provide an additional two
thousand beds for the homeless by June of twenty twenty seven.
The total number required under the terms of a federal
lawsuit settlement is almost thirteen thousand beds. City officials say
(02:31):
many are already there or will soon be. Some of
question the long term sustainability of the plant. LA County
supervisors have pressed for answers in a sometimes testy hearing
about why evacuation orders didn't go out to some residents
in Altadena until after their homes had burned in the wildfires.
The board got a detailed presentation yesterday on the after
(02:51):
action report for the fires that pointed out several vulnerabilities.
In the county's response, a I can create videos, and well,
you can make yourself The Star. Katayley's tech reporter Rich
Demiro is going to join us at five twenty tell
us about that fun new feature. And also Ring has
a new feature that could help you reunite you, help
(03:13):
reunite you with your pet if it gets lost. Amy's
on it. It's brand new on Hulu. Is it a
pass or will it score with viewers? I'll tell you
that's coming up at the bottom of the hour. Let's
get started with some of the stories coming out of
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. LA County has moved
forward on changes in response to a report of how
(03:34):
it handled January's wildfire.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
The report, commissioned by the county and conducted by retired
General mccrystal's firm, found multiple areas of concern and deficiencies.
Those include a breakdown in communication between agencies and a
poorly executed emergency notification and evacuation plan. Supervisor Katherine Barker
says the report is lacking though because not all government
agencies cooperated.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Because that does lead to what are you hiding?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
The Board of Supervisors has called for changes, clearer understanding
of who use in charge, better evacuation plans, updated emergency
preparedness awareness campaigns, and a restructuring of the County's Office
of Emergency Management. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
A twenty five year old man in Orange County, has
been charged with a couple of felonies for allegedly running
over a bicyclist in Westminster. Alexis Ruiz is charged with
attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, plus sentencing
enhancements for allegations that include attempted premeditated murder and gang activity.
The bicycle rid was attacked on Beach Boulevard on September twelfth.
(04:30):
Yam Kapor begins at sundown with observant Jews fasting and
seeking forgiveness for sins. Law enforcement in LA will be
un heightened alert for possible threats to the Jewish community.
Mayor Bass's office says the LAPD's been working on partnership
with Jewish institutions, community leaders, and public safety agencies to
maintain a heightened level of vigilance and readiness. The La
(04:54):
County Sheriff's Department says it also has increased patrols and visibility.
A gas station dinas Or has been swiped in Brentwood.
This guy tells KTLA it's been outside the Sinclair station
on San Vicente for years.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
All the kids loved it, and here it is come Saturday,
dinosaur's gone. The theft was caught on video.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
A person could be seen loading the Dino into the
back of a pickup truck. People in brent would say,
whoever took it should bring it back. Let's say good
morning to ABC's Karen Travers at the White House. So, Karen,
the lights are out sort of for part of the government.
How what happened in the hours leading up to the shutdown.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Yeah, they failed to pass two different measures yesterday that
would have funded the government. The one was a Republican
bill that had already passed the House funds the government
for seven weeks, where Democrats rejected that, and then Republicans
blocked a Democratic bill that would have funded the government
but also reversed Medicaid cuts and extended Obamacare subsidies to
(05:53):
keep health care premiums from going up to millions of Americans.
So the standoff now continues. Today, we will see the
Senate come back in this morning and they're expected to
vote on those same two measures. Again. It's likely mirror
the votes from yesterday. It's not clear that any of
the results would change, but we're going to hear from
leadership at some point this morning before those votes. Again,
(06:15):
it's not clear there's been any negotiations or any blinking
that's happened since those votes yesterday, so it's likely that
it will just be the same results. They'll be off
tomorrow for the holiday and then back in on Friday
through the weekend, and we'll see where it goes from here.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Okay, so Karen, you just said there's no sign that
there's been negotiations, Yes, but I mean, are people talking
in the back hallways or do they just go and
sit in their corner and say, we're sticking to our guns.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
I mean, what happens when.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
These things are it's more of the latter. They're sticking
to their guns. Like the lines in the sand are
very clear at this point, and Democrats have said that
they're not blinking, and Republicans are refusing to include these
demands of the Democrats in a government funding bill, saying,
you know, we are happy to have a conversation. Some
are saying this about the Obamacare subsidies, but not this way,
(07:04):
not while the government funding is on the line. Keep
the government open, fund it for seven weeks and then
we will get to that. Democrats so believe it just
is their opportunity to push for this mood, their policy
priority of theirs. They're getting pressure from their base, of course,
and they want to see this part of the conversation
because you know, when there's one big, major bill that
(07:24):
has to get passed and you have something you want
to get included, you got to take your opportunity where
you see it.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Okay, and we know that there's obviously finger pointing going
on from where you are are. Do you have any
indication of who's going to take the blame for this
because both are saying it's the other's fault.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Yeah, and that always happens. The fingers are pointing in
growth directions. You know, polls show that I think when
you add it up, like there's slightly more blame that
goes to Republicans because they control the House, the Senate
and the White House. But of course, you know the
President and his team and Republicans are ready to loudly
saying it's Democrats who are voting against funding the government
(08:04):
right now and against keeping the government open. We need
sixty votes in the Senate, so they need Democrats to
get on board with this. That's always been the case
for these government funding bills. We saw this when it
was the reverse, when Democrats were in charge and it
was Republicans who were making demands and they needed those
Republican votes to get something across the finish line.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Okay, and then just just to clarify, so the House
passed a plan a continuing resolution that basically is the
same as was passed in March or something like that
that couldn't get enough support in the Senate because the
Democrats say, no, we want that.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
But we want to add in more spending.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Yes, they want to say, well, yet they want to
add in those protections, the extension of the Obamacare subsidies
exactly that are set to expire at the end of
this year.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Okay, well, I'm sure we'll be talking again soon. We'll
see how long this one lasts and who blinks first.
Thanks so much, Karen.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Travers resolutely thank you.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
All right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Utah
State University had to evacuate a building hours before Turning
Point USA returned to Utah for the first time since
the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Kirk was shot and killed
at Utah Valley University during the first Turning Point event
of the semester that happened earlier this month. In Kirk's place,
(09:22):
Other prominent conservatives filled in, including former Senator Jason Chafitz
and Utah Governor Spencer Cox. About sixty five hundred people
turned out for the event last night after the all
clear was sounded. It was the largest campus event ever
for Turning Point USA. Hurricanes Umberto and Amelda are spinning
off the east coast. They are not direct threats to
(09:43):
the mainland, but ABC's Victor Rokendo says they are having
an effect on North Carolina's outer banks, at.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Least five homes toppling into the ocean within forty five
minutes in Buxton, North Carolina. Massive aisles of splinter debris
strewn cross the sin.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
A hurricane warning is in effect for Bermuda, with Amelda
expected to pass near or over the island later today
as a Category two storm. The Federal Trade Commission has
sued Zillo and Redfin. ABC's Alex Stonesa's the FTC argues
a deal between the two companies reduced competition.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
The agency saying Zillo paid Redfin one hundred million dollars
and other compensation in exchange for Redfin aggreeing to end
its contracts with advertising customers so Zillo could take over
that business.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Redfinn says it disagrees with the FDC's allegations and is
confident it'll be vindicated in court. Zillo says it is
confident in the partnership and the enhanced value it will
keep delivering to consumers. TikTok not a very good place
to get health advice. If you're looking for sexual health advice.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Researchers presented findings at an American Academy of Pediatrics meeting recently.
They say more than twenty percent of sexual health related
TikTok posts created by non medical people had inaccurate information.
Researchers also say three percent of videos done by medical
professionals were not accurate. Research around jelly Cirellian says topics
related to abortion had a much higher rate of inaccuracy.
He's calling for stricter oversight on videos. Mark Ronner KFI News.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
The latest marketing research shows that super premium butter is
now one of the most sought after items in grocery stores.
Marketing research firm Nielsen IQ says demand for super premium
and premium butter has doubled in the last year. Well
mainstream butter chicked up by just one percent. Nielsen says
the reason is that posh butter has a richer flavor
(11:34):
and sits on the tongue a little bit more. My
mom is all about getting it. It's like that Carrie
the Iris butter. She loves that stuff. I'm I'm just
good old Pavilion's signature brand.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Whatever's the cheapest.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
What a way to start the National League Wild Card
at Dodger Stadium. First up, show, Hey Otani, the two
one pitch.
Speaker 8 (11:58):
O Tani turns on a ball Digta right field. That
is gone, so hey. Old Tony kicks off the postseason.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
With a bang.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Dan.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
He wasn't done one one, oh Toni.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
It's a towering ball, Date Brightfield. He flips so bad bad,
watches it fly three quarters of the way up the pavilion.
Just a mammoth.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Blast for his second home run and the Dodgers are
pouring it on.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
In Game one.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
That was a two run shot and then the announcers
were joking about it, and he goes that ball it
was headed to Pasadena. Apparently it was. It was a
long one. Taoscar and Tommy Edmond also hit dingers. The
Dodgers dominated Cincinnati last night, ten to five in Game
one of the wild Card. Tonight, the Dodgers take on
the Reds again. It's Game two of the National League
(12:52):
Wildcard Series. First pitch goes out at six oh eight.
You can listen to all the Dodger games on a
five seventy LA Sports Live from the Galpin Motors Broadcast booth.
And stream all the games NHD on the iHeartRadio app
keyword AM five seventy LA Sports. That is how I
enjoyed the game last night. Democrats and Republicans are blaming
each other for the government shutdown that started at midnight
(13:14):
after lawmakers failed to approve a new spending bill. As
many as seven hundred and fifty thousand federal workers could
be furloughed. Essential workers like air traffic controllers will remain
on the job, but the FAA says a good furlough
about eleven thousand employees during the shutdown. Californians have been
registering to vote ahead of the special election in November
that will decide whether Democrats can redraw voting districts in
(13:38):
favor of Democrats in the state. Data from the Secretary
of State's office shows that from February to September, eighty
two thousand people registered to vote with no party preference.
Forty eight thousand Republicans registered, just one hundred and ninety
Democrats registered. LA city councils looking at strengthening penalties for
people who do damage to trees in the city. The
(13:58):
move comes months after a man used a chainsaw to
cut down a dozen trees in downtown La. The city
is also looking at plans to increase awareness of city
rules protecting trees.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
At six, so.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Five, it's Handle on the news, and you can bet
Handle's going to have a few things to say about
the government shutdown that's coming up in about forty five minutes.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Let's say good morning now to the host of Rich
on Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter Rich DeMuro.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
Morning, Rich, Good morning to you.
Speaker 10 (14:27):
Amy.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Okay, I'm ready for my close up thanks to AI.
Speaker 9 (14:34):
Yeah, yeah, this is tell us about you app. Have
you seen this flooding your Instagram yet? Like I have?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
I have not?
Speaker 9 (14:42):
Okay, Well, I'm friends with all like these, you know,
influencers YouTubers who all got early access to this open
Ai Sora to app. This is basically Sora's new or
open AI's new video and audio generator. So it creates
like the most realistic videos we've so far with sound effects, dialogue, backgrounds,
(15:05):
and it can get people really well. So all these
other video generation tools out there that kind of mess
up people and how they move and this and that,
this gets it all right. And so you can use
your own face in this once you verify you are
who you say you are, you can use a feature
called cameos to make yourself do pretty much anything you
want within reason.
Speaker 10 (15:25):
Right.
Speaker 9 (15:25):
So, I've seen people, you know, flying airplanes on roller
coasters in battle scenes. I mean, it's pretty wild. It's
very realistic. Right now. It's called Sora. It's on iOS.
You have to have an invite to use it. But
they say this is kind of a new social media
that lets you scroll to be creative versus just scroll
for nothing.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Okay, it sounds like it would be a lot of fun,
but it also sounds like I'm just thinking of the
destruction of Hollywood.
Speaker 9 (15:53):
Yeah, and I think that this is a big question
we have with AI, because we were discussing this the
other night. It's like everything is being affected by AI,
and why would you not use this in some way
to create a commercial? I mean, I think that there's
going to be a media impacts and then longer term impacts.
So anything that's short form, Yeah, you can now create
(16:13):
a commercial on this thing. The clips have to be
ten seconds or less, so yeah, you're limited. But I'm
sure Hollywood is keeping an eye on the implications of
all of this, especially video Generation AI.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Okay, so Ring, which I finally got mine installed after
I had it for three months before I decided to
install it.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
But it's got a new.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Feature and this is kind of fun, but a little
bit a little bit scary for me because of the
whole privacy.
Speaker 9 (16:41):
Yeah, it's yeah, of course, I mean there's always a
privacy exchange when you have these cameras that are online.
And you know, Ring has been very instrumental in getting
these doorbells on pretty much everyone's front porch, like across
the nation, which is amazing for them. They came out
some new cameras yesterday with higher resolution, so now they've
got four K cameras, which is like, oh my gosh,
(17:03):
you're able to see everything. So the feature that we're
talking about though, is called search Party. So if you
lose your dog, you can put an apb out on
the Ring app and it will take that picture of
your dog that you upload and it will search for
your dog across other people's Ring cameras using AI. And
of course they're doing it all in a private way.
(17:24):
But let's just say your dog passes my house and
my Ring camera found it. My little Ring app would
say Hey, rich, someone lost their dog. Your ring camera
spotted it. Can you share this video with that owner
and your location so that they can come by and
see if it's you know, and know that it's in
the area. So it's all privacy centric. But yeah, it's
kind of like we were discussing this yesterday in the family,
(17:46):
like there's a lot of lost dogs. Like, how many
of these notifications are you going to get? Is it
really going to help people find their dogs?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I don't know well, and I know that I have
the ring notifications of people who just post stuff about
lost dogs, and I get probably ten lost dogs a day.
Oh I saw a little chiawa wandering down the street.
But maybe it would help if it reunites the pet
with their owner. I think that that also could be wonderful.
Speaker 9 (18:10):
I'm just trying to figure out how long the pet
stays in the area, that's the thing. It's like, Okay,
if the dog passed my house and my ring camera
caught it, I guess it gives you a general location, right,
But it seems like we're gonna have to see how
this works in real life. It sounds really interesting, and yes,
there are many lost dog posts on social media, next door, ring, citizen, whatever.
(18:32):
But we'll see if this actually reunites. They're going to
need some success stories for this to really take off.
Speaker 10 (18:36):
I think.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Okay, and then let's talk about Windows ten because it's
so yesterday, and literally it is because you're not going
to be able to get updates for it anymore.
Speaker 9 (18:48):
No, but you know it's been ten years. Let me
just reiterate, it's been ten years and now the deadline
is two weeks away where Microsoft is not going to
support this program anymore and people are.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Going wait, what, hold on what? So?
Speaker 9 (19:00):
Yes, you do need to come up with a plan.
It is very easy to extend. If you want to
procrastinate one more year, you can do it. You can
enroll in what's called extended Security Updates that will give
you one more year to decide if you want to
buy a new machine or figure out what you're going
to do with your current machine, or upgrade to Windows eleven.
I've got all the instructions on my website rich on
(19:20):
tech dot tv, But basically all you have to do
is go into Windows Update, where you typically do all
your software updates. Look for a little button that says
enroll in Extended security updates. You have three choices. You
can back up to the cloud, you can use Microsoft
Rewards points, or you can pay thirty dollars and you
will get your updates for one more year.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Okay, s only been ten years and you're mentioning that
they're stopping support on ten I'm like, I still like
Windows seven the best.
Speaker 9 (19:49):
Oh my gosh, do you really remember that?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I don't.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
I remember, like I was at the event for Oh
my gosh, it was like start me Up. It was
like in New York City. I think it was for
Windows ninety five. Oh my gosh, from really dating myself
Windows ninety five events. Oh yeah, I think it was
the first time they did the start the start menu. Yeah,
Windows ninety five.
Speaker 10 (20:09):
Oof.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
Yeah that was a long time. No, there's no way,
nineteen ninety five. That can't be yet.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
It was only thirty years ago.
Speaker 9 (20:17):
No, No, that couldn't be it because I wasn't covering
technology in ninety five.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Yeah, it wouldn't be.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah, we didn't even have computers then barely.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Oh no, there was no.
Speaker 9 (20:26):
There was just yeah you had to Yeah you had
those things with the you know, the abacus.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Yeah. Okay, well we're going to go much more high
tech than that with rich on Tech right here on
KFI every Saturday from eleven am to two pm. You
can also, of course watch him on KTLA, follow him
on Instagram at rich on Tech and uh to find
out anything that he's talked about.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
He puts it all up on his website. It's rich
on tech dot tv. Rich Demiro, Thank you so much,
all right, have a great day. Talk to you soon.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
The La City Council's approved a plan to make more
homeless beds available. The city's been ordered by a judge
to have nearly thirteen thousand beds by June of twenty
twenty seven. Councilman Bob Blumenfield says the time limited subsidy
option approved by the council offers more bang for the
buck if.
Speaker 11 (21:15):
We use TLS properly, we could actually extend the time
of TLS using shared housing and other creative solutions. So
my hope is that this conversation will continue.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
City officials say the subsidies are cheaper than building homeless
housing like tiny home villages. Time limited subsidies are direct
financial offerings made on a temporary basis to people who
are homeless. They're expected to count as an additional eighteen
hundred beds to the city. Can you hear me now?
Metro has expanded cell service on the K lines underground sections.
(21:48):
Writers now have full cell coverage at the Expo, Crenshaw, Martin,
Luther King, and Lamert Park stations and in the tunnels
that connect them. Service for AT and T, T Mobile
and Verizon was already available on various other lines. A
long distance swimmer is recovering after being bit by a
shark during a swim from Catalina Island to San Pedro.
(22:08):
Fellow long distance swimmer Matt Engelhardt tells KTLA he always
knows that there are sharks in the water.
Speaker 12 (22:15):
You think about it, but you spend a ton of
time in the water getting ready for the swim, so
I think you just kind of get used to it
as sort of a background, fear, background concept.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
The shark that bit fifty four year old Chris Murray
is believed to have been three to four feet long.
Murray was taken to the hospital in San Pedro. He
didn't suffer any major injuries. LA Fires, an LA Fire
captain says it looks like the shark just kind of
nipped him.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Didn't like it and then swam away.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Well it's really good that he didn't taste good, right ow?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
So, yeah, did you hear this?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban breaking up nineteen years of marriage.
Apparently Nicole is the one who filed for divorce, but
he's the one who wanted it. They were both raised
in Australia, met in La in two thousand and five.
They had a lunch and I'm gonna tell you in
a second how I know that they got married in Sydney,
(23:14):
Australia in two thousand and six. Of course, Kidman was
also married to Tom Cruise between nineteen ninety and two.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Thousand and one.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
So Keith Urban was at the radio station in Portland
where I worked, and we were either interviewing him, or
it was a time that he was at the station
and we had lunch with him. I don't remember what
it was because he wouldn't know who the heck I am.
But we met him a few times and they had
been spotted having lunch and I heard about it that
(23:44):
they were in LA and so I was like, hey, Keith,
maybe a little love connection.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
He's like, oh no, we're just friends, she's really nice,
and I was like, I don't think so. I think
there's something brewing there. And he just kind of went
and look at that.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Got married. So always sad to hear in the couple's
break up like that.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
While some offices will go dark because of the government
shutdown that began at midnight, others will continue to keep working.
Immigration enforcement continues, Medicare and Medicaid continue, but some payments
to providers could be delayed. The FDA, USDA CDC they'll
all keep working, but some staff will be furloughed. Air
traffic controllers are still on the job. The field of
(24:27):
Democratic candidates for governor of California has become.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
A little less crowded.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Former state Senator Tony Atkins has withdrawn, saying that there
is no visible path to her victory. She urged Democrats
to unite behind a single candidate, but didn't say who
that was. Lieutenant Governor Elaney Kunlakus also has dropped out.
She's running for state treasurer instead. Dodgers dominated the Reds
ten to five to take a one game to nothing
(24:53):
lead in the National League Wildcard Series. Game two is
tonight at Dodger stadium. You can listen to all the
action on our sister's station, A five seventy k LAC.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Damie's on itam.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Amy's on it, Gami is on it?
Speaker 1 (25:14):
What am I on?
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I'm on the stream.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
There are movies and documentaries and series and so much
to see and so much to watch, and it's.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Not all great.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I gotta tell you, I've watched some real bombs, so
hopefully I can help you navigate and pick the good ones.
Uh just dropped on Hulu the first two episodes anyway.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Uh, Chad Powers and.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I'd seen a couple of promos for this So Chad
Powers is played by Glenn Powell.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Love Glen Powell. He's kind of like in everything right now.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
He stars as Oregon Dux quarterback Russ Holliday, who makes
a massive mistake in the Rose Bowl. It's like the
opening scene, so I'm not telling anything you're not gonna
already see it kind of res his football career, or
is it. Glen Powell and Eli Manning are two of
the executive producers on this show, and uh, the show
(26:09):
is actually based on Eli Manning going undercover to try
out for Penn State. He tries out as a walkout
walk on named Chad Powers, and apparently that's how the
Chad Power series is born. This is a little bit different,
but it has some has some shades of what that
(26:29):
happened with that.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
So Glen Powell again is the star.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Steve zon love him is the coach who decides that
he's going to hold open tryouts, and after Glen Powell's
career is wrecked, he's like, oh, maybe I could go
try out as a walk on for another team. So
it's a guy's guys movie. Lots of cussing, like right
out of the shoot. So if that makes you uncomfortable,
(26:55):
I have a couple of friends who won't watch stuff
when it's over the top like that. It kind of is,
but otherwise it's good. It's sort of interesting, but it
is a little awkward and far fetched. The setup is interesting,
but it kind of feels forced. I mean, the show
caught my attention right off the bat. It may end
up being pretty predictable. You kind of get a sense
(27:17):
that it could be, I mean, like, how is this
story art going to pay it play out? It also
could be very sweet and funny and touching, but it's
kind of too soon.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
For me to tell.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I mean like I was like, oh, this could be
really good, and then I'd go, well, that was stupid.
I mean there was a lot of that as I
was watching, you know, the first two episodes. But I
will tell you, when the second episode was over, I
was like, all right, I'm hooked. So I'd love to
hear what you have to think about it too, since
it's brand new. So you can DM me on my
Instagram at Amy k King or on Facebook, or you
(27:49):
can hit me up on the talk back on the
iHeartRadio app. But would love to hear your feelings of it.
But I'm kind of waffling on this one. I'm on
it for now. Maybe we'll revisit it as more of
the season comes out. But anyway, Glenn Powell, it's the
show is called Chad Powers. It's on Hulu the first
two episodes and the new episodes will drop every Tuesday.
(28:11):
Here's what's coming out of the KFI twenty four our newsroom.
About seven hundred and fifty thousand government employees expected to
be furloughed because the government shutdown. Some could just lose
their jobs. The shutdown started at midnight since lawmakers in
the Senate were not able to reach agreement on a
spending plan.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
The Democratic plan, which would have extended Affordable Care Act
subsidies and reverse cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, fell along
party lines forty seven to fifty three. Moments later, the
Republican backclean bill filled fifty five to forty five.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
ABC's Johnny Fernandez says two Democrats and an independent supported
the plan and one Republican opposed it. Fleetweek in San
Francisco could be one of the activities affected by the shutdown.
You see Santa Cruz. Political analyst Nolan Haigen says the
celebration of the Navy's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary overshadowed
by what some political experts call a circus.
Speaker 13 (29:03):
As they know that both sides are going to hold
out as long as possible, get as close to the
deadline as possible to try and see the other side.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Will move first, and so the public just kind of
seizes like a sideshow.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
This year's event starts on Sunday. Fleetweek organizers say tours
of military ships and a Blue Angels air show would
have to be paused if Congress is able to pass
a budget.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Fleetweek will move forward as planned.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Time to get in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe. Morning, Courtney,
good morning. We were just talking about the government shutdown.
It's the first one in seven years, and that's putting
some pressure on the markets this morning.
Speaker 14 (29:36):
Yeah, and this threatens to disrupt the rally that sent
the S and P five hundred up fourteen percent so
far this year. So it's been pretty good for stocks
despite all of the headwinds that we've been seeing in
the markets with tariffs and you political issues. But it
also comes as questions mount about the strength of the
labor market. And speaking of that, the shutdown has the
(29:56):
potential to delay the release of key economic data, specially
like the huge jobs report that's expected to come out
this Friday. But the economic impact, it's probably going to
take some time to figure out. But looking at Dow
futures this morning, we're down about one hundred and ten points.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Nike, We've talked about Nike before and how it's trying
to make some changes because it has been having some
issues and it seems that whatever they're doing it's working.
Speaker 14 (30:22):
Yeah, it's made a number of missteps in recent years.
It's weighed on sales, and one of the issues that
they had is they over emphasized casual sneakers lifestyle sneakers
as opposed to performance sneakers that we see on the
basketball court. So the company has been shaking things up.
They brought new management, they rebuilt relationships with some of
their key retailers like foot Locker, and they're focusing on
(30:44):
these performance shoes. I was just talking about not only
for basketball, but for running. But the reset seems to
be working. Shares some Nike hire in the pre market.
The company reported quarterly revenue that topped Wall Street expectations.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
I will tell you I have my custom kicks on
this morning, my Dodger Nike shoes.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Oh very nice.
Speaker 14 (31:03):
Yes, well, hopefully for good luck for the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Absolutely absolutely Okay. Tough news if you're looking to buy
a home or refinance.
Speaker 14 (31:12):
Yeah, mortgage rates rising for the first time in five weeks,
and we've been seeing a slide for a period of time. Remember,
mortgage rates were close to seven percent, but according to
the Mortgage Bankers Association, the rate on a thirty or
fixed loan six point four to six percent. And the
housing market needs anything to give it a bump at
this point.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Okay, so we'll watch for those see what happens as
they go up and down. I am kind of excited
about this one. If it's what I'm thinking it is.
Nissa is bringing back a once popular suv that was
discontinued a decade ago.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Is it the Pathfinder?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
The Exterra, Oh, the Exterra I had a Pathfinder a
long time ago.
Speaker 14 (31:50):
Yeah, Well, it's coming back as a hybrid model. It's
going to be built in Mississippi. But by the way,
it's actually halting its plans to make an electric vehicle
in the US. And it was a pioneer, remember the Leaf.
But the carmaker is going to reboot the Extra in
twenty twenty eight as a V six powered hybrid. It
was discontinued a decade ago because we had tougher emission standards.
(32:12):
There was also a broader industry shift away from boxier
truck based SUVs. But keep in mind Nissan has been
definitely struggling. They're doing a massive downsizing effort because it's
trying to regain profitability.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Okay, and the last thing we I mentioned this earlier,
that the new thing that's all the rage is really
expensive luxury butter. And I was talking about you know,
carry butter that cost a couple bucks more than regular butter,
But you're talking really luxury butter.
Speaker 14 (32:41):
Yes, every other Friday there's a drop of animal farm
creamery butter from Vermont. It's sixty dollars a pound, sixty
sixty crazy because a lot of people with more money
to spend, they're trying to shell out on these little luxuries.
But looking at the all butter market, sales of premium
butter has surged double digits over the last year, outpacing
(33:04):
growth of regular butter. And I actually want to mention
breaking news that kind of happened. Speaking of groceries, Amazon
just announced that it's launching a private label brand that's
going to offer a range of grocery items, most of
them are going to be below five dollars. It's called
Amazon Grocery and includes dairy fresh produce and meat. And
the brand will be available online and at Amazon Fresh stores.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
So you can order it and have it delivered.
Speaker 14 (33:32):
Yeah dairy, yeah, Ok, sorry, Yes, you can have them
Amazon Grocery items. You can have them delivered within the day.
Sometimes I've actually done that. I've ordered from Amazon Grocery
or Whole Foods.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Okay, all right, that just makes me nervous having milk
being shipped to you and sitting out on your front doorstep.
Speaker 14 (33:54):
But okay, yeah, I think you have to be home
for that when you put in that order.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yep, all right, getting in your business like we do
every morning. Five for It's Bloomberg's Courtney, Donaho, Thanks Courtney,
have a great dayk you two. The La County Board
of Supervisors has voted unanimously to start implementing recommendations made
in an after action review of the county's response to
the wildfires that tour through Altadena and Pacific Palisades. Meantime,
a group of residents of Altadena called on state Attorney
(34:20):
General Rob Bonta to investigate the failures in the county's response.
Ballots for the November fourth special election will be in
the mail on Monday. Voters will be deciding whether to
allow lawmakers rather than the voter approved Independent Redistricting Commission,
redraw voting districts in the state in favor of Democrats.
The independent commission would regain control of redistricting. In twenty
(34:42):
thirty one. Former President Jimmy Carters on a new forever stamp.
The US Postal Service unveils it today. Carter died last
year at the age of one hundred. The stamp is
being released on what would have been Carter's one hundred
first birthday. Let's say good morning now too, ABC's Caleb
silver Are So, Caleb, we got to shut down, at
(35:04):
least a partial one. Not everything comes to a halt.
So what keeps going and what stops?
Speaker 10 (35:10):
Yeah, let's start with what keeps going, because a lot
of people are worried about that. Social Security checks those
will continue to go out, as will Medicare and Medicaid payments.
The VA medical centers will remain open, ICE will still
be in operations, Customs and border protection of course, air
traffic control in the US Post Office. So a lot
of the essential services, it's the non essential ones, but
they are essential to some people. So things like SNAP
(35:33):
programs here in New York City and other cities, those
might be on pause after thirty days once their funding
runs out, as well as wik programs for our mothers
and infants. So a lot of the most vulnerable folks
in our society are going to be impacted by this.
Not to mention the furlough of government employees, the federal
employees who will miss it a paycheck if this goes
on for a couple of weeks, may miss a couple
(35:54):
if it goes on longer than that.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Okay, And you mentioned Caleb that like the SNAP and
the WICK programs, if they run out of money, but
that would happen after like thirty days.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
So yeah, most of the shutdownstal funding.
Speaker 10 (36:07):
Yeah, they have supplemental funding to take them through the month.
But still when you're looking at that, at that most
vulnerable part of our society here, that could become very
serious if this goes on for a long time, and
hopefully it won't.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Yeah, and then you mentioned the FAA is going to continue,
like the air traffic controllers are going to keep working.
But the FAA is saying it could furlough eleven thousand workers,
but not essentially, they're not considered to be essential workers
that will get furloughed.
Speaker 10 (36:33):
So they say, And the faas been in this predicament
before as recently as twenty eighteen, and when we know
that some a lot of workers did call out sick
during that during that period of time, So again this
is just yet another factor. You're weighing on our economic concerns,
and it depends on how long it goes, the duration,
and how deep it goes. But these do have a
(36:54):
domino effect because there's a lot of private contractors tied
to these government agencies that may have to pause projects,
they may have to lay off for furlough employees as well.
So we're looking at an economic positure that costs us
in terms of gross domestic product, and people don't feel
that on a day to day basis, but you feel
it when we stop spending, because ultimately, when we get
people losing their jobs or losing paychecks, they stop spending
(37:16):
and that has a domino effect and slows the economy.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Okay, and then, just to clarify to Caleb, the people
who get furloughed that they're saying it's up to seven
hundred and fifty thousand or something, they.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Don't actually lose their salaries.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
They don't get paid during the shutdown, but once the
shutdown is over, they get all that back pay.
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Isn't that correct?
Speaker 10 (37:36):
That's correct, and that's what happens when you're furloughed. The
problem is, you know a lot of these government employees
are living paycheck to paycheck like a lot of folks
out there. You miss one pay cycle that hurts, You
miss too that really hurts. And then you're talking about
missing mortgage payments, you're talking about credit card payments, you know,
driving people further into debt. So it becomes very serious,
very quickly if you're one of those folks, Even though
(37:57):
you might get the back pay you know six', eight you,
know three months down the. Road hopefully if this comes
to a, closure that doesn't help you managing your family's
finances right when things are pretty raised with.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Them, absolutely and like we were just talking about On
Wake Up gol yesterday that there is a very large
percentage of people who don't have like an emergency, Fund
so losing that paycheck for you, know two weeks or a,
month it could really really create some. Pain and then
also with this, SHUTDOWN i think isn't something that's different
that The trump administration has said that they might actually
(38:27):
fire people as opposed to.
Speaker 10 (38:29):
Furloughing, Yeah President trump said he might make some of
these permanent in an impromptu press conference. Yesterday we know
this administration has been thinning the ranks of government employees
since it got into. Office this could be another excuse
to thin it even. More and there's some you, know
two point four million federal workers out, there and we've
(38:50):
already lost over one hundred thousand of those jobs so
far this. Year so that hurts folks who have you,
know government, employees civil servants that have been working in
government for you, know maybe potentially their whole career is
losing a.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Livelihood, sir, okay ABC's Caleb, silver thanks for bringing us
up to. Speed, WELL i bet we'll be talking again
soon if this thing drags.
Speaker 10 (39:07):
On hopefully, not BUT i look forward talking to you.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
