Good morning, I'm Amy King. First day of the football season.

But happy that football season is starting. Got the let's
see it's the Cowboys and the Eagles tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
That'll be good.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Something that's not good, well could be good, is that
there's no Powerball winner from last night. So you do
have to get up and work. But the upside of
that is now the powerball jackpot is up to one
point seven billion dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
If you want to check your numbers really quick, three sixteen,
twenty nine, sixty one, and sixty nine and the power
ball is twenty two.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
I think I matched none again, but.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
There was a tickets sold in Riverside and another one
in Bakersfield that matched five of the numbers, but not
the power ball. Those tickets are each worth just over
nine hundred and eighty four thousand dollars. Here's what's ahead
on wake up Call. The couple from Cabizon accused of
killing their seven month old baby boy are due to
be arraigned today on murder charges. Jake and Rebecca Harrow

(02:24):
were arrested last month, a week after Rebecca reported their
son had been kidnapped from the Big five parking lot
in Yukaipa. They're also facing a charge of filing a
false police report. The Trump administrations filed a notice of
appeal in response to a judge's ruling that the deployment
of National Guard troops to LA during the ice protests

(02:45):
was illegal.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Judge Charles Bryer said the move violated the.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Nineteenth century Posse Comitatus Act. The White House accuses the
court of blocking Trump's efforts to protect cities from violence.
President Trump and Ukrainian Presidents Lenski to be talking today.
The meeting follows President Trump's meeting with Russia's President Putin
last month in Alaska and a meeting with Zelenski and
European leaders at the White House in the days that

(03:10):
followed that. ABC's Karen Travers says, there's no meetings set
between President Putin and Zelenski at this point. Just going
to tell us what President Trump has to say about that.
That's coming up in just a couple of minutes. Several
of Jeffrey Epstein's victims gathered on the steps of the
Capitol to share their stories of abuse at the hands
of Epstein and Gilline Maxwell. Gafi's national correspondent Rory O'Neil's

(03:34):
going to join us to tell us more about what
they had to say and what's next in the quest
to have all those Epstein files released. Amy'sonic coming up
at five point twenty. This show is just too much.
I'll tell you whether that's a good or a bad thing.
Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Lawmakers have passed
a plan that requires schools to tell parents if ICE

(03:54):
agents show up on campus.

Speaker 5 (03:56):
California lawmakers have approved the Sending Alerts to Families and
Education Act. It affects K through twelve schools, colleges, and
universities and aims to protect immigrant students and their families
during times of increased immigration enforcement. If signed by Governor
Newsom by October twelfth, it would be in effect until
twenty thirty one. Another bill passed on Tuesday prevents ICE

(04:18):
from entering private areas of schools or hospitals without a warrant.
Eileen Gonzalez k if I.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Now it's brought to you by Sitting Sleep.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Some people who live in the San Fernando Valley are
trying to recall La City councilwoman Imelda Padilla for what
they say is a pattern of behavior and decisions that
have failed to represent the best interest of the community.
The group filed a notice of intent to recall this week.
They say the effort is about restoring trust and ensuring
the council truly reflects and serves the will of the people.

(04:46):
Pidia has come under fire in recent weeks for comments
she made about housing during a podcast and for her
support of a tiny home village near a metrolink station
in Sun Valley. LA City Hall may create a law
on and how hot it can get inside rental units.

Speaker 6 (05:02):
Three members of the La City Council want the city
to adopt the same law LA County just approved. It
says it can get no hotter than eighty two degrees
in an apartment. Councilman Bob Blumenfield says there are laws
about heating so people don't freeze to death. The same
should be true about cooling for just the basic safety
of Angelinos.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
It's not just about being comfortable, it's about being.

Speaker 6 (05:23):
Say Bloomenfield says. Heat waves like the one in recent
days and record temperatures in recent years show the region
summers are hotter and residents should be protected. Michael Monks
KFI News time to.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Say good morning now to ABC's Karen Travers at the
White House.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Good morning, Karen.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
President Trump is planning to have a chat with Ukraine's
President Zelensky today.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Any insight into what they'll be talking about.

Speaker 7 (05:47):
This I was talking about China and the war in Ukraine.
But this comes as Zolinsky is in France today with
European leaders, and the President's going to join that conversation
remotely coming up right about now when it's expected to start.
They're going to be talking about security guarantees for Ukraine
at the end of the war, and what the European

(06:08):
involvement would look like, potential deployment of European troops to
Ukraine and backup support from the United States, what that
could be as well as the President has committed to
that not clear though, you know where this goes from here,
given distalled negotiations for a peace agreement and the lack
of a meeting between President Putin and President Zelenski. But

(06:29):
the European officials have all gathered today in France, Lensky
is there with them, and the President will be joining
in from the White House.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Okay, and Zelensky has said several times he's ready to talk.
Are we seeing any kind of movement from Russia on.

Speaker 7 (06:43):
This, No, we're not. You know, the Russians had said
Zolenski could come to Russia and have the meeting here.
That is not something that the Ukrainians have been willing
to do. The Europeans also are not supportive of that
and have said that there are six or seven countries
that have agreed to host a meeting like this, and
it should be done on neutral territory. The president had

(07:04):
set a two week deadline for Putin to agree to
meet with Zelenski. That deadline ends tomorrow, and the president
was asked yesterday, you know what happened at that point,
because there's certainly no indication that a meeting is going
to be scheduled in the next twenty four hours. The
president wouldn't say, just simply told reporters, you know, we'll
see what happens.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
He said something's going to happen, but wouldn't say what
it was going to be.

Speaker 7 (07:26):
Right, Well, he didn't really say something going to happen.
He said, we'll see what happens. The President has been
pushed on what type of pressure he'll put on Vladimir
Putin to get to this meeting. He had said two
weeks ago he would put pressure. There's been no indication
of what that pressure looks like, whether it's a new
sanctions on Russia or something else. Yesterday he pushed back

(07:48):
to a reporter's question that there's been no action at
this point, and he said, you know, you put the
he puts tariffs on India for the business that they
do with Russia, and that's putting a squeeze on Russia,
and also indicated there's a phase two and phase three
plan of applying pressure to Russia, but did not say
what that looks like.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Okay, And do we know if Trump is planning to
talk to Putin again anytime soon?

Speaker 4 (08:12):
We do not.

Speaker 7 (08:13):
We do not. He sounded like yesterday he said he
was talking to him, but the White House clarified and
said no, he was referring to Zelinsky.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
All right, ABC's Karen Travis, thanks for the update, appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Have a great day, all right, you too.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The White House
has warned Republicans in Congress that pushing for the full
release of the Epstein files would be seen as a
very hostile act by President Trump. More than thirty three
thousand Epstein documents have been released, but Democrats say ninety
seven percent of them were already in the public record.

(08:45):
Kentucky Republican Congressman Thomas Massey and California Democratic Congressman Rocana
have sponsored a petition for all of the files to
be released, and are trying to get enough Republican signatures
to force a vote on that. The government of Afghanistansas.
Hundreds of bodies have been recovered from houses destroyed in
a six point zero earthquake in the eastern part of

(09:06):
the country last week. The number of people killed is
now over twenty two hundred. Most of the death set
been in the Kunar province, where many people live in
steep river valleys that are separated by high mountains. Florida
is taking steps to end all vaccine mandates in the state,
even for school kids. That includes vaccines for polio, measles,

(09:29):
and whooping cough. Florida Surgeon General doctor Joseph Ladapo says
he's against mandates.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
Every last one of them is wrong and drips with
disdain and slavery.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
He's his parents, not the government, should decide what goes
into their children's bodies. Former CDC chief doctor Richard Bessar
disagrees and says the move puts kids at risk as
well as others around them who may have underlying medical conditions.
A federal judge has reversed the White House's attempt to
freeze billions in federal funding for Harvard University.

Speaker 8 (10:07):
Harvard University might be plagued by antisemitism, but that's not
the real reason that Trump administration tried to acts two
point two billion dollars in research funding from the school.
That's the conclusion of a federal judge who decided to
reverse the funding freeze on Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
ABC's Peter Haralambus says the judge ruled that Harvard was targeted,
and it's because it refused to comply with the Trump
administration's demands. The Treasury Department has released a preliminary list
of jobs exempt from income tax on tips.

Speaker 9 (10:41):
The list includes food service concierge, salon workers, podcasters, and
digital content creators.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
The provision is temporary.

Speaker 9 (10:49):
It expires in twenty twenty eight and applies to those
earning less than one hundred and sixty thousand dollars in
twenty twenty five. Only tips reported on a worker's W
two qualify analysts for YACT. The provision could increase the
deficit by forty billion dollars through twenty twenty eight debor
Mark KFI News and new study says.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Caring for your bone health involves eating breakfast.

Speaker 10 (11:12):
Researchers in Japan report people who skip breakfast have a
greater risk of broken bones from osteoporosis. The study's lead
researcher said skipping breakfast and having late dinners was associated
with an increased risk of osteoporosis. The study revealed unhealthy
eating habits were also tied to other lifestyle risk factors
like physical inactivity, smoking, and insufficient sleep. The study analyzed

(11:32):
to health claims and checkup data from over nine hundred
and twenty seven thousand Japanese adults. Mark Ronner KFI News.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Gen Z says the cost of romance is zero.

Speaker 11 (11:42):
A new report says gen zers don't spend a dime
on dates. Bank of America's Better Money Habits studies has
fifty three percent of men and fifty four percent of
women spend nothing on dates each month, and another quarter
spends less than one hundred bucks. Even many of the
ones in a relationships say they spend less than one
hundred a month on their dates. Inflation and higher living
costs to play a big part with lots of them

one number.

Speaker 3 (12:26):

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Well, I know that mine is not worth anything, so
that one will go in the trash. Hence here we

Well, I'm on the stream watching movies, watching series, some
cool documentaries, sometimes books, sometimes regular movie theater movies like
Will and I went and saw Superman now too long ago.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
We got to do that again, I know, I.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Know, because well, and Superman's streaming now. You still have
to pay for it, but it's on the stream if
you want to see it.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
So this this week, what I Muddled Through was one
of the shows that we talk about when we say
that we get recommendations from friends and hopefully either can
steer you towards a really good show or maybe tell
you to save your time if the show's not so great.
So this show actually came recommended. It got some really

(14:34):
good reviews, and so I thought, oh, I'll watch that,
and it's on Netflix. It's called too Much and was it?
Uh huh?

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
So there's one season. It stars Megan Stalton. You might
remember her from Hacks. So she's the assistant to Jean
Smart's agent.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
I like Jean Smart.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah, well okay, so, and she's a fun character in
that show. She plays Jessica, and then Will Shark plays
Felix Reman. Her love interest. Michael Ziegan you will remember
him from The Marvelous Missus. Masel plays zev Naobi Watts's
in it. Didn't even recognize her. Ria Pearlman's in it,

(15:16):
Rita Wilson's in it. Several other recognizable actors from English shows.
You might not know their names, but you go, oh,
I know that actor.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Well, apparently, if you're a Lena Dunham fan, you're probably
gonna like this, but this one was not for me.
I watched it thinking maybe I was missing something, because
you know, I mentioned technically it's critically acclaimed.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
So a woman, young woman moves to London.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
She's broken hearted over her breakup with It's Zev guy,
and she's hoping to find new love.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
That's how they bill it.

Speaker 13 (15:48):
Right.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Well, in her work life, apparently she's the girl who
gets things done. You know, there's there's always that person
that just gets things done, gets in there, makes it happen.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
That's the disc you get.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
But in the show, from the way she acts and
the vibe she gives off, you would never believe seriously
that anyone would give her any responsibility for anything. The
scenarios that she is in uh are unlikely, to say
the least, And I kept trying to like I just
I thought, well, I'll just watch one more episode, because

(16:22):
you know, sometimes you get to you start a show
and it's kind of you're kind of on the fence
about it, and you think it's gonna get better.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
This one, for me, did not.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
I thought she was great in Hacks, but in this show,
I found her And I'm very sorry because I know
actresses worked very hard, but I found her really unlikable
and really unbelievable. And I would say at times this
show is cringe worthy. It's supposed to be a rom
com of sorts, but to me, there's no rom and
there's no calm Ah.

Speaker 6 (16:49):
Whoa this review I was, like, I said, well.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
I was on it because I kept watching. I kept
hoping it would get better. But I just can't recommend
that you get on it too. There are too many
good shows on the stream to invest any time in
this one. And that's all I have to say about.
I'm sorry too much. I don't like giving bad reviews.
I like it when the shows are good and I
like them. But this one, I just I just I

(17:17):
tried and tried. I just didn't like it. I did
finish it because I'm not a quitter anyway. All Right,
here's some more stories coming out of the KFI twenty

Speaker 1 (18:10):
But now we see that they're throwing the playbook and
we've been playing by it, and this is us fining back.

Speaker 4 (18:15):
You know, you throw it, they punch you, you throw
a punch back.

Speaker 1 (18:18):

continue the offshore wind projects. LA City Hall has directed
multiple departments to find funding for a grant program to
support businesses. Downtown Councilwoman Isabel Herrado says some departments have

people are getting a little tired of all this lottery talk.

Speaker 15 (21:20):
No one's hit the powerball jackpots since May thirty first,
and we are now entering the land of lottery fatigue.
It's when players become less excited and less likely to
buy tickets due to frequent jackpot rollovers. Lottery officials say
your odds of hitting the powerball jackpot are one in
two hundred and ninety two million, and jackpot size and
tickets sold don't change the odds, but psychologists say, you'll

(21:44):
probably buy more tickets free Tennis KFI News.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yes, free, you are correct, I will buy more tickets.
Can't win if you don't play exactly. And again it's
for me.

civilians to leave the area. According to the Health Ministry
in Gaza, one hundred and thirteen people were killed in
overnight strikes yesterday, including thirty three people who were trying

(26:04):
to get a humanitarian aid. UFOs are going to be
front and center at the US Capital. The House Task
Force on Government Transparency says the American people deserve maximum
transparency from the federal government on sightings, acquisitions, and examinations
of UAPs and whether they pose a potential threat to

(26:26):
American safety. Witness testimonies expected to come from Air, Force
and Navy veterans, who have all previously discussed seeing the
aerial phenomenon. Time to get in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney,
Donaho Courtney, It's time to playball.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
Yes, NFL season starts to Gerry, I know.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
I got my forty nine Ers sweatshirt on.

Speaker 12 (26:51):
Well, I'm shaping up for another disappointing season for the Jets.
Horrible to be a Jets fan. But commercials for the
Super Bowl next year they're already sold out. So it's
a big touchdown for NBC. I couldn't resist saying that.
But the network says a Super Bowl ads for twenty
twenty six are fully booked. A variety says the network

(27:12):
was looking for seven million dollars for a thirty second spot,
but that's largely on par with what Fox was landing
last year for its ads. So the Super Bowl schedule
for February eighth, well, by the way, we just saw
that they were getting eight million for them. Yeah, well,
well this is of course they're getting all different you know,
all different sources are telling us all different kinds of things.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
Yes, so they could be getting as much. I mean,
this would be the seven million would be about the average.

Speaker 12 (27:40):
But you know, of course, especially when it was time
was really ticking, they were probably asking for eight million dollars.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
So what kind of a signal does that sender? Does
it at all?

Speaker 1 (27:49):
As far as because we're getting signs that the economy
is cooling and there's fewer jobs available, which is another sign.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
But then there's this.

Speaker 12 (28:00):
Yeah, and that's the thing because it's very hard to
get a whole bunch of people looking at one place
at one time, and the Super Bowl can do that,
especially now in the age of streaming where everybody is
off in their own kind of silo of their own
particular interests. To get one of these major events that
all eyes are going to be looking at, that's huge,

(28:23):
that's important, and that's why they're asking for all this money.
And think about in February, NBC has a huge lineup
of big sports events. We have the Winter Olympics coming
in Milan. We have the NBA All Star Game too,
So there's there's a lot of eyes and they're going
to be selling a lot coming up for especially these
big events.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
Gotcha, Okay, we've.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Got Newsmax, We've got Fox on the conservative side of TV,
and they're going after each other.

Speaker 12 (28:51):
Yes, and antitrust lawsuits in the news business, you have
to put in in perspective are quite rare, but Newsmax
they claim that Fox News unlawfully maintains a monopoly in
the market for right leaning TV news. Newsmax is alleging
that Fox News imposes financial penalties and other barriers on
distributors if they carry competitors. But Fox in response, says

(29:13):
Newsmax cannot sue their way out of their own competitive
failures in the marketplace.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
So they're kind of dismissing this whole thing.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
All right.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
So there was a whole controversy over Sydney Sweeney and
her Gens commercial, but American Eagle is laughing all the
way to the bank on this one.

Speaker 4 (29:30):
Yeah, they turned to her to reset the brand.

Speaker 12 (29:33):
They rolled out in July that controversial Sydney Sweeney has
Great Genes ad campaign. Huge firestorm from that. But now
the results are in and American Eagle says it gained
new shoppers in every single county in the US. It's
seen sellouts of her signature gene. The company reported higher
than expected quarterly sales. We are seeing shares just absolutely

(29:54):
soaring in the pre market.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
They said that they.

Speaker 12 (29:56):
Plan to continue to work with Sweeney and don't forget
Travis Kelsey also has the line with the brand. He's
a spokesperson for them too. Okay, well, yeah, I think
they'll be cashing in on that one too. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Jobs reports coming tomorrow morning ahead of that. Traders, what
are they doing?

Speaker 12 (30:13):
Yeah, it's a little quiet here, but we just got
a report that's kind of interesting that just shows how
worried companies are about the economy. So they're holding back hiring.
Our placement firm, Challenger Grand Christmas as American companies announced
plans in August to add close to fifteen hundred jobs.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
Put in perspective, that's the fewest for the month going
back to two thousand and nine.

Speaker 12 (30:34):
They also said that job cults jump from in a
year ago to close to eighty six thousand. That's the
largest August total since twenty twenty. So we'll see what
the government has to say with the August payrolls report.
Economists we surveyed here at Bloomberg say seventy five thousand
jobs were added last month.

Speaker 4 (30:51):
Right now, SMP futures are a little changed.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
All right, Getting in your business as we do every
day at five forty with Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
Thanks Courtney, see you later.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
State lawmakers have passed a bill requiring schools to notify
parents and staff if federal immigration officers are on campus.
The Safe Act, which is short for Sending Alerts to
Families and Education, affects K through twelve schools, colleges, and universities.
Governor Newsom has until October twelfth to sign it, and
it would go into effect immediately. A wildfire burning in

(31:23):
northern California has done a lot of damage to an
historic gold rush town. Several homes have been lost as
the fire continues to burn in Calaveras and Tuallamie Counties.
Several buildings in Chinese Camp date back to the eighteen hundreds.
The lightning sparked complex of fires has burned over thirteen
thousand acres. Taking a look at goats, the Lacity Council

(31:46):
has voted to study a plan to use goats to
clear brush in high fire risk areas. LA Fire has
sixty days to report back on the costs and feasibility
of the idea. Cities like Pasadena and Riverside all ready
to use goatherds to clear dry vegetation. I love that idea.
We're just minutes away from Handle on the news coming

(32:07):
up at six h five. Epstein's survivors are calling for
the full release of government files, and in fact, we're
going to talk about it now. You get to talk
about it now, and then we get to talk about
it with Bill. So let's say good morning now to
can'tfi's national correspondent Rory O'Neil so Rory Jeffrey. Epstein's victims,

(32:27):
who've been mostly silent for a while are speaking out,
and boy did they yesterday.

Speaker 13 (32:33):
They certainly did a rather emotional press conference there at
the steps of the Capitol building, and more than I
think it was ten women in all came forward to
tell part of their stories and how they were abused
when they were just young girls, some of them twelve, fourteen,
sixteen years old, But also coming up with almost a
threat say, look, if the government doesn't release all the

(32:54):
Epstein files, you know, we know the men who were there,
we can compile a list, suggesting that they might release
that list or perhaps even release it through Congress Women
Marjorie Taylor Green. One of the issues being that they
could be concerned about lawsuits that would follow. Some might
be subject to confidentiality agreements after getting into settlements with

(33:15):
the Epstein or Epstein estate. But as a member of
Congress reading it on the House floor, Marjorie Taylor Green
would be immune from those kinds of issues or fallout,
so she might read the whole list there in public.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Okay, so you just answered all my questions. I'm like, well,
why haven't they put up this list before?

Speaker 7 (33:33):
Well?

Speaker 13 (33:33):
Right, because again, some of them are covered under agreements
they had with Epstein or other people involved, and they
may not be able to talk in detail. But one
of the troubling things I thought from yesterday's press conference
was that they called themselves members of a sorority they
didn't want to join. But unfortunately there could be a

(33:55):
thousand of these women out there. And remember, so far,
only two people have been prosecuted for this, Jeffrey Epstein
and Giliane Maxwell.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
I think it's just amazing that he was able to
get away with all this, because I was watching parts
of the press conference and hearing what they were saying
and how they were groomed, and how Gallaine Maxwell was
just like was an integral key part of it. And
she's the only one who's been prosecuted and now she's
sitting in a country club of a jail.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
I mean, it's just right.

Speaker 13 (34:23):
And those women also very upset by that, the fact
that she's now in the prison spa they called it.
And now dangling this idea of perhaps a presidential pardon
maybe in the works. That really offended these women who
went through an incredible ordeal being victimized either in Florida,
New York or on the Epstein Island.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
I wish they'd just get the list out and get
it done with, and so what happens next. We've gotten
ninety seven percent of them, but that set three percent
of those files that everybody's clamoring about, and Congress has
to decide whether to release.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
Them or not.

Speaker 13 (34:57):
Right the House Speaker said, look, we've got it an
investigation underway. Let it take its time and do its thing.
But I think everyone is to your point of like,
oh gosh, let's just rip off the bandid at this point.
But there's this movement for a discharge petition, which essentially
circumvents the Speaker of the House who sets the calendar. Normally,
if they get enough signatures, they can go for a
direct vote on this. In the House that would require

(35:20):
the Justice Department to release the files. You still have
to go through all this stuff in the Senate. But
they say, look, one hurdle at a time. If they
can get four of the Republicans to come on board,
that's all they need. Right now. I think it's all
the Democrats and a handful of Republican women who have
signed on to this with one man, so that we'll
see if they can actually get this through in the

(35:42):
next couple of days.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
All right, and we will be watching and we will
check in with you again. A kfi's national correspondent, Rory O'Neil,
thanks so much.

Speaker 13 (35:50):
Hey, thanks Amy.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
All right, have a good day.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A professor at
cal State Channel Islands has been indicted by a federal
grand jury LA for allegedly throwing a tear gas canador
at federal aid canister at federal agents during a raid
in came Rio. Jonathan Caravello is charged with one count
of assault on a federal officer using a deadly or

(36:13):
dangerous weapon. Federal prosecutors say when Border patrol agents rolled
tear gas canisters by protesters feet Caravello ran up tried
to kick one, they say, when canisters rolled past him.
He then picked one up and threw it overhand at
border patrol agents. The Lacity councils asked the LAPD and
the Department of trans Transportation to waive certain fees.

Speaker 6 (36:36):
The unanimous vote directs both departments to figure out within
fifteen days how to get rid of charges related to
vehicles impounded or towed after their owners are detained by
federal immigration agents. The proposal would also allow for family, friends,
or neighbors of the detainees to retrieve those vehicles. The
city is also planning to study how it can collect, store, dispose,
and release personal property that is abandoned when someone is

(36:57):
taken into custody by immigration agents. Council member say it's
not just cars left behind, it's vending carts, bicycles, what
they call the vestiges of people's daily lives. Michael Monks
KFI News.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Two Chinese nationals from Riverside County have pleaded guilty to
a scheme involving two or not two, but involving a
lot of counterfeit Apple devices. Prosecutors say they swapped fake
iPhones and fake iPads for real ones at stores across
southern California. They then resold the real devices at a

(37:29):
huge profit. Apple claims the scheme costs the company more
than sixteen million dollars in losses. A new task force
has been created in LA to prosecute animal abuse cases.
It'll be led by federal prosecutors working in partnership with
the FBI, the Department of Agriculture, Office of Inspector General,
the LA County DA's Office, the LAPD Animal Control and

(37:52):
other agencies. The South Coast Air Quality Management Districts has
launched its go zero incentive to help residents and businesses
which to cleaner zero nitrogen oxide emission space and water
heating appliances. The AQMD says the technology is three to
four times more efficient than gas and can lower utility bills.
Rebates could be up to three thousand dollars for homes

(38:13):
four thousand for businesses, and you can find more about
the program at the AQMD website AQMD dot gov.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
Slash go zero, the.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
World's largest illegal sports streaming platform, has been shut down,
and with NFL season starting, some fans will not be
able to watch games, at least not illegally any longer.

Speaker 9 (38:34):
Stream East had become well known for hosting pirated streams
of live sporting events around the world, logging more than
one point six billion visits in the last year alone.
The anti piracy coalition Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment said
the shutdown came after nearly year long investigation by Egyptian authorities.
The suspected operators of the network were arrested in Egypt

(38:57):
last month on suspicion of copyright infringement. Stream East sites
will now redirect visitors to a watch legally page.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
Deborah Mark, KFI News. I'll watch legally and probably pay page.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
I would imagine the NFL season, as we mentioned, gets
underway tonight, the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles facing
Division rival Dallas. Before the game, the Eagles will raise
their championship banner. The Chargers open their season against Kansas
City tomorrow night in South Paulo, Brazil. This is KFI
