KFI hand KOST HD two, Los Angeles, Orange County.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
It's time for your morning wake up call.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Here's Amy King.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Well, good morning, five o'clock. Straight up. This is your
wake up call for Friday, October third. I'm Amy King.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Happy that you're here.
We made it till Friday. Did you watch the game
last night? The Rams my Niners? That was a great game.
(00:52):
I thought it was a fabulous game, even though I
know a lot of Rams fans probably aren't very happy
about it. As a Niner fan, I'm thrilled, but I
thought it was just a really fun game to watch.
Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. A fire continues
to burn at the largest oil refinery on the West Coast.
The fire at the Chevron facility in El Segundo apparently
sparked by an explosion last night around nine. Smoke from
(01:15):
the fire's been settling in on nearby neighborhoods. People who
live in the area been told to shelter in place.
The refinery process is over a quarter million barrels of
crude every day. It's day three of the governments shut down.
President Trump has warned that thousands of people could be
laid off. The Democrats haven't backed down on their demands
to refund healthcare programs. Kfi's White House correspondent John Decker's
(01:38):
going to join us with the latest in just a
couple minutes. What happens today, how long this one might last?
We'll be finding out. Apple has taken down the app
that allowed users to report sightings of ICE agents doing
immigration enforcement. The app is called ice Block. Apple took
it down citing safety risks after a request by Attorney
(01:58):
General Pam Bondi. DJ said it was concerned the app
could be used to put ICE agents in danger. It's
been a few days since President Trump presented his twenty
point plan to end the war between Israel and Gaza.
ABC's Jordanah Miller in Jerusalem's going to let us know
if he Hamas has said whether they plan to accept
the deal, and what happens if they don't. That's coming
(02:21):
up at five point twenty. Our very own Heather Broker
took a little trip to oc city of Hope to
check out how patients are being treated with a little
Disney magic coming up at the bottom of the ar
very cool story, and this one just chaps me. You
donate to a charity, you want to help people, and
then you find out your money didn't go to where
it was supposed to go. ABC Jim Ryan's going to
(02:42):
join us to tell us about one of those charities
and the price it's going to have to pay for
not actually spending the money the way it was supposed
to be spent. Here's something kind of nifty. We have
Disney tickets to give away. It's Halloween time at the
Disneyland resort, and we have a four pack of tickets
(03:03):
to either Disney California Adventure Park or to Disneyland, and
that is coming up sometime this hour. So get close
to your phone and get ready to dial. Let's get
started with some of the stories coming out of the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A fire has been burning
since last night at the Chevron refinery in El Segundo.
Witnesses say they heard what sounded like an explosion before
(03:26):
the flames erupted.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Pretty much the whole sky was orange, so pretty alarming.
Immediately started packing a bag kind of in a panic,
and then hopped in my car and drove around a
little bit to kind of assess the situation and see
if I really needed to find a place to stay
for the night.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
It's not clear what caused the fire. The refinery processes
more than two hundred and seventy six thousand barrels of
crude per day. LA County Supervisor Holly Mitchell said that
as of early this morning, censors had not indicated any
serious air quality issues. No evacuations have been ordered at
this point. US military pilots have had to within draw
from this weekend's Pacific Air Show in Huntington Beach. The
(04:03):
federal government shutdown has been blamed. Huntington Beach mayor Pat
Burns says he's pretty upset with Congress and this is.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Nothing but politics, and I think it's sad that it's
really going to affect the country. It's just not the
air show, of course, it's the country and just a
lot of people and that breaks my heart.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
The US Air Force Thunderbirds and several other popular aircraft
have been pulled from the show. It will still feature
the Canadian Forces Snowbirds and the UK's Royal Air Force
Falcons Garyan Channon gonna be out at the air show.
You listening to their show later today from nine to one.
A vehicle has crashed into a wall on the campus
(04:42):
of Stephen Wise Temple in bel Air. Four people were
hurt in the crash shortly after five yesterday. Two kids
had minor injuries, A man in his eighties was critically injured.
He and an eighty year old woman with less serious
injuries were taken to the hospital. It's not clear what
led to the crash. Taylor Swift's twelfth studio album, The
(05:06):
Life of a Show Girl, has dropped. Demand was so
high it may have broken the Internet. Some express frustration
online that Spotify appeared to be down as they tried
to stream the album right at midnight. Target exclusive CDs
and vinyl of the album became available at midnight at
certain targets. This weekend, Taylor Swift premieres her music video
The Fate of Ophelia in theaters. I got a notice
(05:29):
from Regal Theater saying it was playing there. It includes
behind the scenes footage from the chuote and Taylor talking
about songs from the album. Let's take a first look
at your morning commute. Check in with Michael Morris. We've
got a crash in Long Beach on seven ten.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Amy seven ten northbound transition to the ninety one westbound
is shut down. This because of an accident involving a
tractor trailer. Now traffic right now is being diverted from
the north seven ten to the ninety one eastbound. I'm
not seeing any delays leaving the port of Long Beach
on the north seven ten. Have another connector road problem,
this time in Sherman Oaks four or five southbound transition
to the one O one westbound is partially blocked because
(06:05):
of an earlier crash. Gountran's working for another hour on
the east one oh five. The two right hand lanes
shut down for electrical work between Crenshaw Boulevard and the
one ten. No slowing through this cone zone. Countrans wrapping
up in Orange County fifty seven northbound. The two right
hand lanes were shut down all night long for electrical
maintenance between Orange Wood and Lincoln. This is an Anaheim
crew should be picking up the cones right now. Onto
(06:28):
the San Gabriel Valley East ten right at Delmar Avenue,
a vehicle crashed into the center di idral wall and
this accident was balking the left hand lane. All the
activity now on the right shoulder east one oh one
before Tampa Avenue. Watched for plywood in lanes. So Southern
California's most acroa traffic reports sim Mike Morris.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Thank you, Mike. It's five oh seven on your Friday morning, Waco.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Call.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Let's say good morning now to kfi's White House correspondent
John Decker. So, John, it's day three of the government
shut down. Where are we? Oh, John Decker, you were there? Well,
I wonder if he'll call back.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
He was there?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I never was there. You heard the background. I heard
him the White House there, we got it. Okay, we'll
figure it out. We'll figure it out. Okay. Well, one
while we'll wait. While we wait. While we wait, let's
get back to some of the stories coming out of
the KFI twenty four hour news from President Trump has
promised federal layoffs during the government's shutdown. He said yesterday
(07:27):
that he would use the shutdown to decide which Democratic
agencies to close. White House Press Secretary Caroline Lovett later
said Trump would use the shutdown to cut agencies and
programs that do not align with the administration's policies and values.
Just getting word this morning that the Trump administration has
paused two point one billion dollars for Chicago infrastructure projects
(07:51):
and on effort to leverage the pressure on the Democrats
to end the shutdown. Okay, we're going to try again.
John Deckfi White House Correspondent, you're back.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
I'm back, Amy, I'm sorry about that. Let me pick up.
Let me pick up right where you ask that question.
There is a vote today. It takes place at one
thirty Eastern time this afternoon. I'm not expecting that this
continuing resolution to reopen the government will pass, but I
am actually optimistic that this government shutdown will not last long.
I think that by this time next week, Amy, I
(08:26):
think it's going to be resolved. That's my hope. But
we'll have to wait and see. I think a lot
of Democrats have to hear from their constituents and have
to realize that maybe this is not good for them politically.
I think all lawmakers have to realize a shutdown isn't
good for them politically, especially with the midterms next year.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Okay, so I know that one of the tactics that
they're doing, because I've been watching and there's Democrats wandering
around the halls saying where are the Republicans? Where the Republicans?
And the Republicans have been blasting these messages on a
loop of all these different Democrats saying we should never
shut down the government and it's so bad to do,
it's not right for the American people. So they're both,
(09:04):
you know, poking the bear. But are they are they
actually talking to each other?
Speaker 7 (09:10):
Well, what I heard from Senator Schumer, he's the leader
for Democrats in the Senate, is that senators are talking
to each other at the rank and file level, and
Schumer indicated that he plans to meet with his counterpart
in the Senate, Senator John Soon, as early as today. So, yeah,
(09:30):
those conversations obviously need to happen. There needs to be
a meeting of the minds to reopen the government and
get those federal workers back to work because a significant
number have been furloughed while this government shutdown continues.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, and then real quick, because I know you got
to go. You said you expected it probably will be
resolved next week, and that is just because the pressure,
the pressure probably so great on the lawmakers.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
Yes, I think they have to weigh, you know, what
is the long term impact on us as a party.
And I think that's the reason why this does get resolved.
I think that you know, as you know Democrats, ten
of them supported a continuing resolution back in March. Nothing's changed,
it's the same that's cr back in March. I think
(10:21):
the pressures on those individuals in particular.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
All Right, kfi's White House correspondent John Decker, glad we
were able to reconnect. Thanks for you. We'll talk to
you next week. All right, let's get back to some
of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four
hour newsroom. Rap mogul Sean Combs is said to be
sentenced in New York in his racketeering case.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Based on his two convictions on prostitution related charges.
Speaker 8 (10:42):
Prosecutors say you should spend the next ten years behind bars.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Defense lawyers say you should be released by December. ABC's
Peter Haralambus says Combs is expected to speak in court today.
Combs has spent the last twelve months in a federal
detention center. He was acquitted of the most serious charges
in July. Almost half of Americans say groceries are becoming
harder to afford compared to a year ago.
Speaker 9 (11:07):
According to a new Harris Axios Vibes poll, forty seven
percent of respondents said groceries are harder to afford, compared
to thirty four percent who said it's about the same
and just nineteen percent who said groceries are easier to
afford now. Looking along party lines, the majority of both
Democrats and Independents said groceries are harder to afford, while
only thirty four percent of Republicans said the same findings
(11:28):
also showed that about eight and ten Americans believe President
Trump has significant influence over the economy. Mark ronnor Kfi News.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
President Trump has declared war on drug trafficking.
Speaker 10 (11:39):
In a memo obtained by ABC News, the administration telling
Congress that America is in armed conflict and that drug
cartels are unlawful combatants, a designation used as rationale for
those striked on multiple votes last month.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
ABC's Martha Radditt says the memo to Congress does not
name any one foreign terrorist organization. Police in Manchester, England,
say one of the two men killed during an attack
on a synagogue may have been killed by a police
officer's bullet. Greater Manchester Police Chief Stephen Watson says the
victim had a wound consistent with a gunshot injury, but
(12:15):
the attacker didn't have a gun. The man drove into
a group of people yesterday and then stabbed a man
before he was killed by police. The FDA has approved
a new generic form of the most widely used abortion pill.
The approval of the generic version of mifipristone has prompted
pushback from anti abortion groups, including the president of Susan B.
(12:35):
Anthony Pro Life America. It called the decision unconscionable. If
you want to know your stress level, just look down
in the morning.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
The color of your urine afy awake up can show
how well you handle stress. New research has darker, more
concentrated urine means higher cortisol, which is known as the
stress hormone. Cortisol helps with energy and attention to deal
with stress, but like anything, too much of it can
lead to kidney, heart and die abetes problems. It's all
linked to water intake. Without enough water, the kidneys release
(13:04):
the hormone argoniine vassel presson, which also controls the release
of cortisol medical jargon aside. Data shows adults on average
drink a lot less water than they should each day
and it's stressing them out. Michael Krozer KFI News.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I love Krozier stories. I am one of those people
who doesn't drink enough water. But I've got my coffee.
Doesn't that count. Border Patrol agents are continuing operations during
the government shutdown, which is into its third day. The
Department of Homeland Security is confirmed that over nineteen thousand
agents are considered essential and are working during the shutdown.
(13:41):
Border Patrol Commissioner Rodney Scott says about twenty thousand agents
are working but not being paid. They will receive their
pay when the shutdown ends. A man wanted for murder
and bel air has been arrested following a police footchase.
Took a while last night, LPD says a person was
killed on Sunset Boulevard near Ucla. Police used police dogs
(14:03):
and a helicopter to track down the man that they
suspect did it. More than four hours later, the guy
was found hiding in a yard. The man with a
bloody face was seen being loaded into an ambulance. Governor
Newsom says he will cut all state funding for any
universities in California that sign onto a plan from the
(14:24):
White House. The White House is asking universities to agree
to a series of conservative ideals in exchange for favorable
treatment as they seek federal money. Do we have Jordana yet,
as she called yet? Okay, So we told you that
Taylor Swift's album dropped at midnight and apparently it broke
Spotify for a while, and then they had the exclusive
(14:47):
CD versions at Target, and then they also had a
vinyl version of the album that apparently is pressed like
a hot pink. And then she's going to be in
theaters this weekend to debut the video for is it
Life of Ophelia. That's how familiar I am with with
Taylor Swift music. But it's out the Fate of Ophelia.
(15:11):
And then Krispy Kreme's even getting in on it. Krispy
Krean is offering orange donuts today or in honor of
the release of this album. I don't know why they're orange?
Is that her favorite color? Krispy Kreme celebrating by making
blazed donuts full orange for the day. Okay, and you
(15:35):
get a twelve dollars Spotlight dozen. I don't get Taylor
because it's not that big of a deal for me,
But I do like her music, and I loved her
music when she was when she was coming up, when
she was country. But I know my friends who have kids, man,
they just go b Zirco for Taylor Swift craziness. Are
(15:58):
we still waiting on Geordana? Are you still not there? Okay?
Well fine, let's just get back to some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Fire's been burning since last night at the Chevron Refinery
and Elsa Gundo. Witnesses say they heard what sounded like
an explosion before the flames erupted.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Pretty much the whole sky was orange, so pretty alarming.
Immediately started packing a bag kind of in a panic,
and then hopped in my car and drove around a
little bit to kind of assess the situation and see
if I really needed to find a place to stay.
Speaker 11 (16:28):
For the night.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
The refinery process is more than two hundred and seventy
six thousand barrels of crude per day. It's the largest
on the West coast. LA County Supervisor Holly Mitchell said
as of early this morning's censors hadn't indicated any serious
air quality issues, but people who live around the refinery
been told basically to shelter in place and keep doors
and windows closed. There was a shelter in place for
(16:50):
Huntington Beach that was lifted early this morning. The fire's
not out, it's contained, It's expected to burn for quite
a while. And a reduction in the supply because this one,
I think it's about twenty percent of the oil for
California is processed at that facility, so that could affect
our oil prices. CalFire remains fully staffed and ready to
(17:14):
fight any wildfires. During the government shutdown, federal disaster support
could be limited as thousands of workers deemed non essential
or furloughed. The National Weather Service in FEMA are operating
but at reduced capacity. Governor Newsom says FEMA will pay
for existing disasters, but the new aid remains uncertain. All Right.
(17:35):
We got ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Good morning, Giordana.
When we last talked, Hamas had been presented with President
Trump's twenty point plan to end the war in Gaza.
Where are we Has anything moved?
Speaker 7 (17:50):
Not really.
Speaker 12 (17:51):
The White House says it has not seen a response
from Hamas. The Prime Minister's Office here in Israel says
the same. Essentially, everyone is waiting to see what Hamas
does next, and they've been putting out kind of conflicting
messages in the media through the Arab media. Some Hamas
leader are saying they're going to reject it, some saying
(18:13):
they're going to accept it and ask for revisions, for
an extension, to keep talking about the deal and try
to figure out their position. I think the most likely
response is that we're going to hear Hamas say yes
(18:34):
and then with that butt right, but we need to
change this clause in that clause. We've seen them do
this in the past, and I think the question amy
is what will the request of changes look like. Will
they be reasonable and show that Hamas is willing to
make confessions and then the war, or are they going
(18:56):
to be non starters things that actually contradict parts of
Trump's peace plan.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Right.
Speaker 12 (19:02):
We've seen Hamas do both in the past, Right, So
we're going to have to think, wait and see what
they put on the table as their official response, which
should come in the next few days.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Okay, and I'm interested Jordana to find out like what
that response will be, because when Trump put it out
when he had that meeting with Netton Nahu and they
held the press briefing at the White House, he said,
this is the deal. There is no negotiation. And it
appears like you just said that. Hamas is like, okay,
(19:35):
but and I think Trump had said there is no
butt in this is the deal, right.
Speaker 12 (19:42):
Well, I think that's a negotiating tacticle. So I mean,
I think if Hamas asks for again some reasonable changes,
maybe all the hostages won't come out in the first
three days. Maybe it'll be the first two weeks or
three weeks. Maybe Hamas will look for tighter timelines or
(20:03):
a swifter retreat of the Israeli army, right, and maybe
Israel in response will say great, then we'll get a tighter,
swifter uh uh, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Santa Cruz versus super out back quicker.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
Look what Santa.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Cruz hats what happened there?
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Every time.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
That's on me, Oh okay, that's me.
Speaker 12 (20:31):
Sorry, that's okay, I'm here, I'm here, but all right, okay,
true those longtime radio people. The bottom line is, I
don't I don't think the president. I think if there
were reasonable uh revisions put on the table, that the
(20:52):
United States and Israel would negotiate with Hamas for you know,
a week or two or three, but not much longer.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Okay, yeah. And the other thing was, but I think
that President Trump had said three to four days, and
we know that when he sets well, we don't know,
because sometimes he'll set a deadline and then push it
back by two months. And sometimes they'll like when it
with the whole aram thing, you said, we got sixty days,
and on day sixty one it went you know. I mean,
so we don't really know how it he's going to
be handled.
Speaker 12 (21:18):
I do, right. I think I think Hamas is going
to ask for a couple extra days, probably today this weekend,
so that they can formulate their response, and I think
the President will probably give them that. Remember, Hamas is
under tremendous, tremendous pressure. Now it's really hard to see
(21:40):
how Hamas could say no, given that Egypt, Jordan, Turkey,
the Emirates, the Saudis, they're all they're all saying to Hamas,
give it up, like this is it, the War's over.
You're going to be pushed out of out of Gaza.
You know, you'll be lucky that your survivors, that your
(22:00):
leaders survived, right, they'll have immunity if they get out,
and the ones that are sitting in Doha will be
safe because now the President assigned an executive order about
the security of cutter Right, So there is something in
it for Hamas. You can survive abroad or you could
stay and fight, and you know, we just can't protect you, okay, Right,
(22:22):
So they don't have much, They don't have much left
except to keep up a kind of guerrilla war, which
in the end they'll lose.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Also, Okay, Well, well we will hope for a yes,
and I'm sure we will talk to you next week
with the latest developments. Have a good weekend, thanks to Jardana,
You too, Amy Tucson, all right, ABC. Stredana Miller in Jerusalem.

Commissioner Rodney Scott told Border Report that agents continue to
report for duty man protect America regardless of the failures
in the legislative branch and the politics in Washington. Scott
says the man and women of CBP should never be
treated as pawns in political games. The gridlock in Congress

The center will be available to patients and visitors when
the new City of Hope Hospital opens December first. Heath
Brooker KFI.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
News, Little Digsney Magic, never heard anybody that's great Love
that time to get in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe, Morning, Courtney,
Good morning, Happy Friday, Happy Friday. So have you downloaded
the new Taylor Swift album yet? Actually? My daughter did
Hi Swift.
Speaker 16 (28:01):
Yeah, she she actually called me and she said it
was complete garbage.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
She's so upset about it. Really.
Speaker 16 (28:07):
Yeah, she feels that Taylor is doing too much talking
on it.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
She said, she sounds kind of depressed, and.
Speaker 16 (28:14):
I'm like, she makes a lot of money, she shouldn't
be so depressed.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
That's interesting. I thought, I've heard two of the songs,
and I think they're fine. I'm sure they are, But.
Speaker 16 (28:23):
Yeah, she's a she's a definite critic. She's eleven years old,
so she's she's definitely a little bit of a critical.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Swift tea out there.
Speaker 16 (28:32):
I love that she still she still wants to go
to the release party that they have at the movie
theater this weekend.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
So she was asking me that, Yeah, this past week,
Taylor is going to break it in wherever she goes.
She's got the theater, she's got the Target exclusives, she's
got it drop in on Spotify, and then even Krispy
Kreme is doing Taylor Swift Donuts for the release. And
I'm sure she's going to kind of cut of that.
Speaker 16 (28:58):
But you know what, when you really look at this,
she's essentially a corporation in and of herself, and she's
the savvy CEO at the top and she has all
these different advisors, but the Bloomberg Billionaire's Index, they actually
dug into the numbers and she's now worth two point
one billion dollars and that's up a billion dollars from
just two years ago. So definitely the Eras tour, Definitely
(29:21):
Spotify downloads all of that, and even a teeny tiny
bit of it is probably the diamond ring that she's.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Wearing on her finger.
Speaker 16 (29:28):
But I think one of the most compelling and interesting
things about this and especially for her as an entertainer billionaire,
is that she's one of the rare few out there,
especially in the music industry, where most of her wealth
derives from her art, most of it, and not from
the side hustles and things that you were talking about,
(29:50):
the makeup lines, of perfume lines, the endorsements and all
of that stuff. But that's I mean, it's rare when
you look at the music industry because most of the people,
the way that they're making money is those partnerships with companies.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Well, I think you got to give her kudos. I mean,
she's done an amazing, amazing job marketing herself so brilliant.
And her dad, by the way, is a merri Lynch
financial advisor, So I'm sure he's putting her money to
work in even more ways. Yep, Okay, let's get saucy.
People are going crazy for sauces.
Speaker 16 (30:20):
You know, at one time in the not so distant past,
all the conniments in our fridge were pretty simple. I know,
I looked in my fridge it was pretty much ketchup,
mayo mustard. But now when you look at the grocery aisle,
there's a mustard for every taste. We have yellow to Dijon.
Ketchups come in all different stripes. I was looking at
one the other day, pickle flavored ketchup. And also if
(30:45):
you go down the grocery house, I know when I
was at Whole Foods the other day, there was one
whole entire side of an aisle filled with grilling sauces,
barbecue sauces, simmer sauces, wing sauces, you name the type
of sauce. But when you look at the connoments market
in the US since two thousand and nine, it's sword
more than fifty percent, over twelve billion dollars, and more
(31:06):
is to come. They expect another billion dollars in the
not so distant future. That's according to market research or mentel.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Okay, so maybe invest in saucy stuff. Okay. The Job's
report is normally coming out today, but it's not coming
out today.
Speaker 16 (31:20):
No, it usually comes out at a thirty Eastern time.
It's the first Friday of the month. That's normally a
big day for Wall Street. I get all excited. This
is when everybody really pays attention to me. But the
jobs report, it's usually released before the opening bill and traders, investors,
feder reserve, everybody out there. They're digging into that report
to try to get a stronger grasp on what's happening
(31:41):
with the economy. But seems to be a casualty of
the government shutdown. It wasn't published a few minutes ago.
But still markets are doing well. We're we're heading for
a higher open SMP futures they're right now up about
five points, a down futures up about fifty and yesterday
still gains for stop. So government shutdown really not stopping anything.
(32:02):
The Dow jumps seventy eight points. Yeah, the Dow is
approaching forty seven thousand. Yeah, it's it's continuing to move
because people are focused on artificial intelligence and the deals
in that area. All the EUPOURI, all the buzz around
that tech shre is are really pushing things along. When
you look at that, that's overshadowing everything that's going on
(32:23):
in the economy and the drum beat that we've been
seeing over and over again that the jobs market is
slowing down.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
So people are saying, hey, text the way to go.
All right, Well, have a wonderful weekend, Courtney. Enjoy listening
to Taylor Swift's music on a loop, I would imagine,
and listening to my daughter. Yeah, all right, we'll get
in your business again on Monday morning at five forty
like we do every weekday. Thanks, Thanks, Courtney, I'll see
you later. The Air Force Thunderbirds will not be flying
(32:51):
over the water or anywhere else at this weekend's specific
air show in Huntington Beach because of the government shutdown.
The F thirty five Lightning two OH, the F twenty
two Raptor, and the A ten Thunderbolts are also grounded.
The Canadian Snowbirds and UK's Royal Air Force Falcons, along
with historic planes, will still be flying in the show
that runs today through Sunday. A shelter and place order
(33:14):
for Huntington Beach because of the refinery fire at the
Chevron facility in El Segundo has been lifted. The fire
on the sprawling one thousand acre facility has been contained
to one area, but the fire is still burning. People
who live in the area being told to keep doors
and windows closed because of the smoke from the fire.
The fire could burn for days or even weeks. It's
(33:34):
the largest refinery on the West Coast. Lottery jackpots are
getting up there again. The Mega Million's jackpot for tonight's
drawing is five hundred and twenty million dollars. The grand
price for Powerball is almost two hundred million. The next
Powerball drawing is tomorrow night. We're just minutes away from Handle.
On the news, police in Manchester, England are saying that
(33:59):
one of the people killed in that attack on the
synagogue may have been shot by police. Let's say good
morning now to ABC's Jim Ryans. So, Jim, this is infuriating.
A group says it's been raising money to pay for
breast cancer screenings for low income people and it didn't
make good on its fundraising promises. So tell us about it.
Speaker 11 (34:22):
Well, it didn't to the extent that the donors thought
it was. This case actually came out of California. That's
where the initial complaints were filed against this organization, carsus
dot Com, based on claims that the group had raised
millions and millions of dollars. From twenty seventeen to twenty
twenty two, amy the group raised forty five million dollars.
(34:42):
It's like other organizations. It accepts donated cars or trucks
or boats or whatever, and then they sell these things
and the proceeds are to go to breast cancer screenings
for low income women. But according to the Federal Trade Commission,
less than one half of one percent of that forty
five million dollars went to that purpose.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Wait, less than one half of one percent.
Speaker 11 (35:04):
Yeah, something like one hundred and eighty one hundred and
twenty six thousand dollars of the forty five million went
to breast cancer screenings for low income women.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Wow, and where did all where did the rest of
it go?
Speaker 11 (35:15):
Where do you think? Well, according to the FTC Federal
Trade Commission, a lot of it went to the operators
of carsors dot com in salaries and benefits and all
the rest of it. The two founders the two operators,
according to the FTC, essentially pocketed a lot of the money.
Some of the money went to a different organization that
(35:36):
also was to do breast cancer screenings. But it's just
kind of scattered out there.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
Now.
Speaker 11 (35:42):
Did the group do anything illegal?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Not technically.
Speaker 11 (35:46):
The FTC says this was deceptive that the commercials that
they were running on television and radio made big promises
about money going to this breast cancer screenings when it
simply didn't. So the group is still up and running.
This morning, I decided to do a little search and
see if they are still going. Well. That they name toys,
(36:08):
I'm sorry, carsar us dot com. If you put that
into your search window, it comes up to a different
charity whose founder and down at the bottom is the proud,
smiling face of the woman who founded cars are us
dot com.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Okay, I want to make a delineation on this too.
It's not cars for Kids. There's cars are Us and
there's cars for Kids. Our Tim Conway Junior has been
you know, the endorsement cars or forever. So they're different organization.
Speaker 11 (36:38):
Probably the folks angriest at carsorus dot com is probably
carsfour Kids dot com and other organizations that try to
do good work, and now people who might otherwise have
made donations to them are going to say, forget it,
where's my money going? I don't think so. Eighty four
thousand people made donations to this group, according to the FDC.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Yeah, okay, So we just recently did something with the
Union Rescue Mission, which is an organization that actually helps
people get off the streets who are homeless, and we've
talked about how so much money has been thrown at
it and where's the money going and all that stuff.
So there is a way for you to investigate your
charitable donations and where that money is going.
Speaker 11 (37:20):
Yes, and you can go to the you can go
to the IRS website if you want it and take
a look there. The easier way to do it, I
think is Charity Navigator, which is in the business essentially
of and is trusted to do background on these Farriss organizations.
So that's always a good idea.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Yeah, and I know that, just say. But one of
the reasons that Neil and I got behind the Union
Rescue Mission is because they're like, I don't know if
it's a five star rating. I don't remember what their
ratings are. But they have like a top rating from
Charity Navigator, So that might be a good way before
you donate, go and check out the organizations that you're
donating too, to make sure that the money is actually
going to where it's supposed to be.
Speaker 7 (37:58):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 11 (38:00):
Unfortunately, a case like this tends to harden people's hearts
and they say, I'm not going to donate my money
if I'm just throwing it away.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (38:06):
The group, by the way, was fine three point eight
million dollars by the FTC. The group said, we don't
have that kind of money. We raised forty five million dollars,
but we don't have that. So the court says, okay,
we're going to pay us five hundred and fifty thousand
dollars within ten days, and then you're going to set
up a payment plan to make the rest of the payment.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
So yeah, yeah, okay. So then here is a question
for you. Where is that three point eight million dollars
coming from? I mean, is it going to come from
the donations? Oh?
Speaker 11 (38:40):
Probably, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (38:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (38:42):
Yeah, that's it's a great question, you know. And again
I mean the money was raised with the intention or
with the promise that it was going to breast cancer screenings,
and so they may have a bank full of money
somewhere and they did live up to their promise in
a very small way, but maybe it was enough to
get through. So was it donated funds? I don't know
(39:02):
where else, what other source of income the group has?
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Well, see that would make it even more infuriating to me,
because it's not actually penalizing the people who should be
penalized for really not doing what they're supposed to do. Yeah, okay, well,
charity navigator before you before you donate. That's always a good.
Speaker 11 (39:18):
Idea, sure, Bett.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
All right, ABC's Jim Ryan, thanks so much for bringing
that one to light for us.
Speaker 11 (39:23):
Seamy.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
All right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Colleges
that play ball with President Trump could lose millions.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Governor Gavin Newsom is threatening to pull state funding from
any college in California that signs an agreement crafted by
President Trump on education to get federal money. Newsom said
in a statement that any California university that signs the
agreement will lose billions in state funding instantly. USC is
reportedly the one California school out of nine universities nationally
(39:53):
that received a letter recently from the Trump administration asking
for feedback on the education agenda before the language is finalized.
Jason Campadonia KFI News quick clarification.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
The El Segundo refinery fire has some neighborhoods. They're being
told to just stay inside, keep your doors and windows closed.
There was a shelter in place order for the city
of Manhattan Beach. I think I said Huntington Beach earlier
and it's Manhattan Beach. It's been lifted so regardless, but
it was for Manhattan Beach. White House Budget director Russ
(40:27):
Vaught says the Trump administration is going to withhold two
point one billion dollars for infrastructure projects in Chicago. He
wrote on social media this morning that the money was
put on hold to ensure funding is not flowing via
race based contracting. He made a similar announcement earlier this
week involving New York, where eighteen billion dollars for infrastructure
(40:48):
infrastructure is being paused. The president has promised federal layoffs
during the ongoing shutdown. He said yesterday that he would
use the shutdown to decide which Democratic agencies to close.
White House Press Secretary Caroline Lovett later said Trump would
use the shut down to cut agencies and programs that
don't align with the administration's policies and value.
Speaker 16 (41:08):
These discussions and these conversations, these meetings would not be
happening if the Democrats had voted to keep the government open.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
She says. The layoffs will likely be in the thousands.
Employee unions have sued to prevent job cuts. A new
study says air pollution makes things worse for people who
have sleep apnea.
Speaker 9 (41:27):
The study involved more than nineteen thousand patients with sleep
apnea from twenty five cities and fourteen countries. Results show
the number of incidents where a person has difficulty breathing
per hour of sleep increased for every one unit increase
in what's known as PM ten particle pollution. Researchers reported
their findings recently at a European Respiratory Society meeting in Amsterdam.

We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Happy that you're here.
We made it till Friday. Did you watch the game
last night? The Rams my Niners? That was a great game.
(00:52):
I thought it was a fabulous game, even though I
know a lot of Rams fans probably aren't very happy
about it. As a Niner fan, I'm thrilled, but I
thought it was just a really fun game to watch.
Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. A fire continues
to burn at the largest oil refinery on the West Coast.
The fire at the Chevron facility in El Segundo apparently
sparked by an explosion last night around nine. Smoke from
(01:15):
the fire's been settling in on nearby neighborhoods. People who
live in the area been told to shelter in place.
The refinery process is over a quarter million barrels of
crude every day. It's day three of the governments shut down.
President Trump has warned that thousands of people could be
laid off. The Democrats haven't backed down on their demands
to refund healthcare programs. Kfi's White House correspondent John Decker's
(01:38):
going to join us with the latest in just a
couple minutes. What happens today, how long this one might last?
We'll be finding out. Apple has taken down the app
that allowed users to report sightings of ICE agents doing
immigration enforcement. The app is called ice Block. Apple took
it down citing safety risks after a request by Attorney
(01:58):
General Pam Bondi. DJ said it was concerned the app
could be used to put ICE agents in danger. It's
been a few days since President Trump presented his twenty
point plan to end the war between Israel and Gaza.
ABC's Jordanah Miller in Jerusalem's going to let us know
if he Hamas has said whether they plan to accept
the deal, and what happens if they don't. That's coming
(02:21):
up at five point twenty. Our very own Heather Broker
took a little trip to oc city of Hope to
check out how patients are being treated with a little
Disney magic coming up at the bottom of the ar
very cool story, and this one just chaps me. You
donate to a charity, you want to help people, and
then you find out your money didn't go to where
it was supposed to go. ABC Jim Ryan's going to
(02:42):
join us to tell us about one of those charities
and the price it's going to have to pay for
not actually spending the money the way it was supposed
to be spent. Here's something kind of nifty. We have
Disney tickets to give away. It's Halloween time at the
Disneyland resort, and we have a four pack of tickets
(03:03):
to either Disney California Adventure Park or to Disneyland, and
that is coming up sometime this hour. So get close
to your phone and get ready to dial. Let's get
started with some of the stories coming out of the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A fire has been burning
since last night at the Chevron refinery in El Segundo.
Witnesses say they heard what sounded like an explosion before
(03:26):
the flames erupted.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Pretty much the whole sky was orange, so pretty alarming.
Immediately started packing a bag kind of in a panic,
and then hopped in my car and drove around a
little bit to kind of assess the situation and see
if I really needed to find a place to stay
for the night.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
It's not clear what caused the fire. The refinery processes
more than two hundred and seventy six thousand barrels of
crude per day. LA County Supervisor Holly Mitchell said that
as of early this morning, censors had not indicated any
serious air quality issues. No evacuations have been ordered at
this point. US military pilots have had to within draw
from this weekend's Pacific Air Show in Huntington Beach. The
(04:03):
federal government shutdown has been blamed. Huntington Beach mayor Pat
Burns says he's pretty upset with Congress and this is.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Nothing but politics, and I think it's sad that it's
really going to affect the country. It's just not the
air show, of course, it's the country and just a
lot of people and that breaks my heart.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
The US Air Force Thunderbirds and several other popular aircraft
have been pulled from the show. It will still feature
the Canadian Forces Snowbirds and the UK's Royal Air Force
Falcons Garyan Channon gonna be out at the air show.
You listening to their show later today from nine to one.
A vehicle has crashed into a wall on the campus
(04:42):
of Stephen Wise Temple in bel Air. Four people were
hurt in the crash shortly after five yesterday. Two kids
had minor injuries, A man in his eighties was critically injured.
He and an eighty year old woman with less serious
injuries were taken to the hospital. It's not clear what
led to the crash. Taylor Swift's twelfth studio album, The
(05:06):
Life of a Show Girl, has dropped. Demand was so
high it may have broken the Internet. Some express frustration
online that Spotify appeared to be down as they tried
to stream the album right at midnight. Target exclusive CDs
and vinyl of the album became available at midnight at
certain targets. This weekend, Taylor Swift premieres her music video
The Fate of Ophelia in theaters. I got a notice
(05:29):
from Regal Theater saying it was playing there. It includes
behind the scenes footage from the chuote and Taylor talking
about songs from the album. Let's take a first look
at your morning commute. Check in with Michael Morris. We've
got a crash in Long Beach on seven ten.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Amy seven ten northbound transition to the ninety one westbound
is shut down. This because of an accident involving a
tractor trailer. Now traffic right now is being diverted from
the north seven ten to the ninety one eastbound. I'm
not seeing any delays leaving the port of Long Beach
on the north seven ten. Have another connector road problem,
this time in Sherman Oaks four or five southbound transition
to the one O one westbound is partially blocked because
(06:05):
of an earlier crash. Gountran's working for another hour on
the east one oh five. The two right hand lanes
shut down for electrical work between Crenshaw Boulevard and the
one ten. No slowing through this cone zone. Countrans wrapping
up in Orange County fifty seven northbound. The two right
hand lanes were shut down all night long for electrical
maintenance between Orange Wood and Lincoln. This is an Anaheim
crew should be picking up the cones right now. Onto
(06:28):
the San Gabriel Valley East ten right at Delmar Avenue,
a vehicle crashed into the center di idral wall and
this accident was balking the left hand lane. All the
activity now on the right shoulder east one oh one
before Tampa Avenue. Watched for plywood in lanes. So Southern
California's most acroa traffic reports sim Mike Morris.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Thank you, Mike. It's five oh seven on your Friday morning, Waco.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
Call.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Let's say good morning now to kfi's White House correspondent
John Decker. So, John, it's day three of the government
shut down. Where are we? Oh, John Decker, you were there? Well,
I wonder if he'll call back.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
He was there?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I never was there. You heard the background. I heard
him the White House there, we got it. Okay, we'll
figure it out. We'll figure it out. Okay. Well, one
while we'll wait. While we wait. While we wait, let's
get back to some of the stories coming out of
the KFI twenty four hour news from President Trump has
promised federal layoffs during the government's shutdown. He said yesterday
(07:27):
that he would use the shutdown to decide which Democratic
agencies to close. White House Press Secretary Caroline Lovett later
said Trump would use the shutdown to cut agencies and
programs that do not align with the administration's policies and values.
Just getting word this morning that the Trump administration has
paused two point one billion dollars for Chicago infrastructure projects
(07:51):
and on effort to leverage the pressure on the Democrats
to end the shutdown. Okay, we're going to try again.
John Deckfi White House Correspondent, you're back.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
I'm back, Amy, I'm sorry about that. Let me pick up.
Let me pick up right where you ask that question.
There is a vote today. It takes place at one
thirty Eastern time this afternoon. I'm not expecting that this
continuing resolution to reopen the government will pass, but I
am actually optimistic that this government shutdown will not last long.
I think that by this time next week, Amy, I
(08:26):
think it's going to be resolved. That's my hope. But
we'll have to wait and see. I think a lot
of Democrats have to hear from their constituents and have
to realize that maybe this is not good for them politically.
I think all lawmakers have to realize a shutdown isn't
good for them politically, especially with the midterms next year.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Okay, so I know that one of the tactics that
they're doing, because I've been watching and there's Democrats wandering
around the halls saying where are the Republicans? Where the Republicans?
And the Republicans have been blasting these messages on a
loop of all these different Democrats saying we should never
shut down the government and it's so bad to do,
it's not right for the American people. So they're both,
(09:04):
you know, poking the bear. But are they are they
actually talking to each other?
Speaker 7 (09:10):
Well, what I heard from Senator Schumer, he's the leader
for Democrats in the Senate, is that senators are talking
to each other at the rank and file level, and
Schumer indicated that he plans to meet with his counterpart
in the Senate, Senator John Soon, as early as today. So, yeah,
(09:30):
those conversations obviously need to happen. There needs to be
a meeting of the minds to reopen the government and
get those federal workers back to work because a significant
number have been furloughed while this government shutdown continues.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, and then real quick, because I know you got
to go. You said you expected it probably will be
resolved next week, and that is just because the pressure,
the pressure probably so great on the lawmakers.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
Yes, I think they have to weigh, you know, what
is the long term impact on us as a party.
And I think that's the reason why this does get resolved.
I think that you know, as you know Democrats, ten
of them supported a continuing resolution back in March. Nothing's changed,
it's the same that's cr back in March. I think
(10:21):
the pressures on those individuals in particular.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
All Right, kfi's White House correspondent John Decker, glad we
were able to reconnect. Thanks for you. We'll talk to
you next week. All right, let's get back to some
of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four
hour newsroom. Rap mogul Sean Combs is said to be
sentenced in New York in his racketeering case.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Based on his two convictions on prostitution related charges.
Speaker 8 (10:42):
Prosecutors say you should spend the next ten years behind bars.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Defense lawyers say you should be released by December. ABC's
Peter Haralambus says Combs is expected to speak in court today.
Combs has spent the last twelve months in a federal
detention center. He was acquitted of the most serious charges
in July. Almost half of Americans say groceries are becoming
harder to afford compared to a year ago.
Speaker 9 (11:07):
According to a new Harris Axios Vibes poll, forty seven
percent of respondents said groceries are harder to afford, compared
to thirty four percent who said it's about the same
and just nineteen percent who said groceries are easier to
afford now. Looking along party lines, the majority of both
Democrats and Independents said groceries are harder to afford, while
only thirty four percent of Republicans said the same findings
(11:28):
also showed that about eight and ten Americans believe President
Trump has significant influence over the economy. Mark ronnor Kfi News.

President Trump has declared war on drug trafficking.
Speaker 10 (11:39):
In a memo obtained by ABC News, the administration telling
Congress that America is in armed conflict and that drug
cartels are unlawful combatants, a designation used as rationale for
those striked on multiple votes last month.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
ABC's Martha Radditt says the memo to Congress does not
name any one foreign terrorist organization. Police in Manchester, England,
say one of the two men killed during an attack
on a synagogue may have been killed by a police
officer's bullet. Greater Manchester Police Chief Stephen Watson says the
victim had a wound consistent with a gunshot injury, but
(12:15):
the attacker didn't have a gun. The man drove into
a group of people yesterday and then stabbed a man
before he was killed by police. The FDA has approved
a new generic form of the most widely used abortion pill.
The approval of the generic version of mifipristone has prompted
pushback from anti abortion groups, including the president of Susan B.

you want to know your stress level, just look down
in the morning.
Speaker 8 (12:44):
The color of your urine afy awake up can show
how well you handle stress. New research has darker, more
concentrated urine means higher cortisol, which is known as the
stress hormone. Cortisol helps with energy and attention to deal
with stress, but like anything, too much of it can
lead to kidney, heart and die abetes problems. It's all
linked to water intake. Without enough water, the kidneys release
(13:04):
the hormone argoniine vassel presson, which also controls the release
of cortisol medical jargon aside. Data shows adults on average
drink a lot less water than they should each day
and it's stressing them out. Michael Krozer KFI News.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I love Krozier stories. I am one of those people
who doesn't drink enough water. But I've got my coffee.
Doesn't that count. Border Patrol agents are continuing operations during
the government shutdown, which is into its third day. The
Department of Homeland Security is confirmed that over nineteen thousand
agents are considered essential and are working during the shutdown.
(13:41):
Border Patrol Commissioner Rodney Scott says about twenty thousand agents
are working but not being paid. They will receive their
pay when the shutdown ends. A man wanted for murder
and bel air has been arrested following a police footchase.
Took a while last night, LPD says a person was
killed on Sunset Boulevard near Ucla. Police used police dogs
(14:03):
and a helicopter to track down the man that they
suspect did it. More than four hours later, the guy
was found hiding in a yard. The man with a
bloody face was seen being loaded into an ambulance. Governor
Newsom says he will cut all state funding for any
universities in California that sign onto a plan from the
(14:24):
White House. The White House is asking universities to agree
to a series of conservative ideals in exchange for favorable
treatment as they seek federal money. Do we have Jordana yet,
as she called yet? Okay, So we told you that
Taylor Swift's album dropped at midnight and apparently it broke
Spotify for a while, and then they had the exclusive
(14:47):
CD versions at Target, and then they also had a
vinyl version of the album that apparently is pressed like
a hot pink. And then she's going to be in
theaters this weekend to debut the video for is it
Life of Ophelia. That's how familiar I am with with
Taylor Swift music. But it's out the Fate of Ophelia.
(15:11):
And then Krispy Kreme's even getting in on it. Krispy
Krean is offering orange donuts today or in honor of
the release of this album. I don't know why they're orange?
Is that her favorite color? Krispy Kreme celebrating by making
blazed donuts full orange for the day. Okay, and you
(15:35):
get a twelve dollars Spotlight dozen. I don't get Taylor
because it's not that big of a deal for me,
But I do like her music, and I loved her
music when she was when she was coming up, when
she was country. But I know my friends who have kids, man,
they just go b Zirco for Taylor Swift craziness. Are
(15:58):
we still waiting on Geordana? Are you still not there? Okay?
Well fine, let's just get back to some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Fire's been burning since last night at the Chevron Refinery
and Elsa Gundo. Witnesses say they heard what sounded like
an explosion before the flames erupted.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Pretty much the whole sky was orange, so pretty alarming.
Immediately started packing a bag kind of in a panic,
and then hopped in my car and drove around a
little bit to kind of assess the situation and see
if I really needed to find a place to stay.
Speaker 11 (16:28):
For the night.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
The refinery process is more than two hundred and seventy
six thousand barrels of crude per day. It's the largest
on the West coast. LA County Supervisor Holly Mitchell said
as of early this morning's censors hadn't indicated any serious
air quality issues, but people who live around the refinery
been told basically to shelter in place and keep doors
and windows closed. There was a shelter in place for
(16:50):
Huntington Beach that was lifted early this morning. The fire's
not out, it's contained, It's expected to burn for quite
a while. And a reduction in the supply because this one,
I think it's about twenty percent of the oil for
California is processed at that facility, so that could affect
our oil prices. CalFire remains fully staffed and ready to
(17:14):
fight any wildfires. During the government shutdown, federal disaster support
could be limited as thousands of workers deemed non essential
or furloughed. The National Weather Service in FEMA are operating
but at reduced capacity. Governor Newsom says FEMA will pay
for existing disasters, but the new aid remains uncertain. All Right.
(17:35):
We got ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Good morning, Giordana.
When we last talked, Hamas had been presented with President
Trump's twenty point plan to end the war in Gaza.
Where are we Has anything moved?
Speaker 7 (17:50):
Not really.
Speaker 12 (17:51):
The White House says it has not seen a response
from Hamas. The Prime Minister's Office here in Israel says
the same. Essentially, everyone is waiting to see what Hamas
does next, and they've been putting out kind of conflicting
messages in the media through the Arab media. Some Hamas
leader are saying they're going to reject it, some saying
(18:13):
they're going to accept it and ask for revisions, for
an extension, to keep talking about the deal and try
to figure out their position. I think the most likely
response is that we're going to hear Hamas say yes
(18:34):
and then with that butt right, but we need to
change this clause in that clause. We've seen them do
this in the past, and I think the question amy
is what will the request of changes look like. Will
they be reasonable and show that Hamas is willing to
make confessions and then the war, or are they going
(18:56):
to be non starters things that actually contradict parts of
Trump's peace plan.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Right.
Speaker 12 (19:02):
We've seen Hamas do both in the past, Right, So
we're going to have to think, wait and see what
they put on the table as their official response, which
should come in the next few days.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Okay, and I'm interested Jordana to find out like what
that response will be, because when Trump put it out
when he had that meeting with Netton Nahu and they
held the press briefing at the White House, he said,
this is the deal. There is no negotiation. And it
appears like you just said that. Hamas is like, okay,
(19:35):
but and I think Trump had said there is no
butt in this is the deal, right.
Speaker 12 (19:42):
Well, I think that's a negotiating tacticle. So I mean,
I think if Hamas asks for again some reasonable changes,
maybe all the hostages won't come out in the first
three days. Maybe it'll be the first two weeks or
three weeks. Maybe Hamas will look for tighter timelines or
(20:03):
a swifter retreat of the Israeli army, right, and maybe
Israel in response will say great, then we'll get a tighter,
swifter uh uh, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Santa Cruz versus super out back quicker.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
Look what Santa.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Cruz hats what happened there?
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Every time.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
That's on me, Oh okay, that's me.
Speaker 12 (20:31):
Sorry, that's okay, I'm here, I'm here, but all right, okay,
true those longtime radio people. The bottom line is, I
don't I don't think the president. I think if there
were reasonable uh revisions put on the table, that the
(20:52):
United States and Israel would negotiate with Hamas for you know,
a week or two or three, but not much longer.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Okay, yeah. And the other thing was, but I think
that President Trump had said three to four days, and
we know that when he sets well, we don't know,
because sometimes he'll set a deadline and then push it
back by two months. And sometimes they'll like when it
with the whole aram thing, you said, we got sixty days,
and on day sixty one it went you know. I mean,
so we don't really know how it he's going to
be handled.
Speaker 12 (21:18):
I do, right. I think I think Hamas is going
to ask for a couple extra days, probably today this weekend,
so that they can formulate their response, and I think
the President will probably give them that. Remember, Hamas is
under tremendous, tremendous pressure. Now it's really hard to see
(21:40):
how Hamas could say no, given that Egypt, Jordan, Turkey,
the Emirates, the Saudis, they're all they're all saying to Hamas,
give it up, like this is it, the War's over.
You're going to be pushed out of out of Gaza.
You know, you'll be lucky that your survivors, that your
(22:00):
leaders survived, right, they'll have immunity if they get out,
and the ones that are sitting in Doha will be
safe because now the President assigned an executive order about
the security of cutter Right, So there is something in
it for Hamas. You can survive abroad or you could
stay and fight, and you know, we just can't protect you, okay, Right,
(22:22):
So they don't have much, They don't have much left
except to keep up a kind of guerrilla war, which
in the end they'll lose.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Also, Okay, Well, well we will hope for a yes,
and I'm sure we will talk to you next week
with the latest developments. Have a good weekend, thanks to Jardana,
You too, Amy Tucson, all right, ABC. Stredana Miller in Jerusalem.
A woman has been charged with murder and connection with

(25:22):
The Border Patrol says it is operating normally despite the
government shutdown.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Twenty thousand Border Patrol agents are working as they wait
for the back pay from the end of the current shutdown.
Commissioner Rodney Scott told Border Report that agents continue to
report for duty man protect America regardless of the failures
in the legislative branch and the politics in Washington. Scott
says the man and women of CBP should never be
treated as pawns in political games. The gridlock in Congress
(25:45):
is forcing thousands of agents to risk their lives without pay,
even as assaults against officers have skyrocketed. Jack cronin ka FI.

world's first immersive multi faith spiritual care center. The sanctuary
was created by former Disney imagineer Roger Holsberg and features
interchangeable displays.

Having cancer definitely tests your faith and your spirituality, so
it's really to have the place to go.
Speaker 15 (27:01):
Tammy McInerney has been battling Stage four IDC, commonly known
as breast cancer. She says a place like the Spiritual

Speaker 1 (27:43):
News, Little Digsney Magic, never heard anybody that's great Love
that time to get in your business with Bloomberg's Courtney Donahoe, Morning, Courtney,
Good morning, Happy Friday, Happy Friday. So have you downloaded
the new Taylor Swift album yet? Actually? My daughter did
Hi Swift.
Speaker 16 (28:01):
Yeah, she she actually called me and she said it
was complete garbage.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
She's so upset about it. Really.
Speaker 16 (28:07):
Yeah, she feels that Taylor is doing too much talking
on it.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
She said, she sounds kind of depressed, and.
Speaker 16 (28:14):
I'm like, she makes a lot of money, she shouldn't
be so depressed.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
That's interesting. I thought, I've heard two of the songs,
and I think they're fine. I'm sure they are, But.
Speaker 16 (28:23):
Yeah, she's a she's a definite critic. She's eleven years old,
so she's she's definitely a little bit of a critical.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Swift tea out there.
Speaker 16 (28:32):
I love that she still she still wants to go
to the release party that they have at the movie
theater this weekend.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
So she was asking me that, Yeah, this past week,
Taylor is going to break it in wherever she goes.
She's got the theater, she's got the Target exclusives, she's
got it drop in on Spotify, and then even Krispy
Kreme is doing Taylor Swift Donuts for the release. And
I'm sure she's going to kind of cut of that.
Speaker 16 (28:58):
But you know what, when you really look at this,
she's essentially a corporation in and of herself, and she's
the savvy CEO at the top and she has all
these different advisors, but the Bloomberg Billionaire's Index, they actually
dug into the numbers and she's now worth two point
one billion dollars and that's up a billion dollars from
just two years ago. So definitely the Eras tour, Definitely
(29:21):
Spotify downloads all of that, and even a teeny tiny
bit of it is probably the diamond ring that she's.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Wearing on her finger.
Speaker 16 (29:28):
But I think one of the most compelling and interesting
things about this and especially for her as an entertainer billionaire,
is that she's one of the rare few out there,
especially in the music industry, where most of her wealth
derives from her art, most of it, and not from
the side hustles and things that you were talking about,
(29:50):
the makeup lines, of perfume lines, the endorsements and all
of that stuff. But that's I mean, it's rare when
you look at the music industry because most of the people,
the way that they're making money is those partnerships with companies.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Well, I think you got to give her kudos. I mean,
she's done an amazing, amazing job marketing herself so brilliant.
And her dad, by the way, is a merri Lynch
financial advisor, So I'm sure he's putting her money to
work in even more ways. Yep, Okay, let's get saucy.
People are going crazy for sauces.
Speaker 16 (30:20):
You know, at one time in the not so distant past,
all the conniments in our fridge were pretty simple. I know,
I looked in my fridge it was pretty much ketchup,
mayo mustard. But now when you look at the grocery aisle,
there's a mustard for every taste. We have yellow to Dijon.
Ketchups come in all different stripes. I was looking at
one the other day, pickle flavored ketchup. And also if
(30:45):
you go down the grocery house, I know when I
was at Whole Foods the other day, there was one
whole entire side of an aisle filled with grilling sauces,
barbecue sauces, simmer sauces, wing sauces, you name the type
of sauce. But when you look at the connoments market
in the US since two thousand and nine, it's sword
more than fifty percent, over twelve billion dollars, and more
(31:06):
is to come. They expect another billion dollars in the
not so distant future. That's according to market research or mentel.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Okay, so maybe invest in saucy stuff. Okay. The Job's
report is normally coming out today, but it's not coming
out today.
Speaker 16 (31:20):
No, it usually comes out at a thirty Eastern time.
It's the first Friday of the month. That's normally a
big day for Wall Street. I get all excited. This
is when everybody really pays attention to me. But the
jobs report, it's usually released before the opening bill and traders, investors,
feder reserve, everybody out there. They're digging into that report
to try to get a stronger grasp on what's happening
(31:41):
with the economy. But seems to be a casualty of
the government shutdown. It wasn't published a few minutes ago.
But still markets are doing well. We're we're heading for
a higher open SMP futures they're right now up about
five points, a down futures up about fifty and yesterday
still gains for stop. So government shutdown really not stopping anything.
(32:02):
The Dow jumps seventy eight points. Yeah, the Dow is
approaching forty seven thousand. Yeah, it's it's continuing to move
because people are focused on artificial intelligence and the deals
in that area. All the EUPOURI, all the buzz around
that tech shre is are really pushing things along. When
you look at that, that's overshadowing everything that's going on
(32:23):
in the economy and the drum beat that we've been
seeing over and over again that the jobs market is
slowing down.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
So people are saying, hey, text the way to go.
All right, Well, have a wonderful weekend, Courtney. Enjoy listening
to Taylor Swift's music on a loop, I would imagine,
and listening to my daughter. Yeah, all right, we'll get
in your business again on Monday morning at five forty
like we do every weekday. Thanks, Thanks, Courtney, I'll see
you later. The Air Force Thunderbirds will not be flying
(32:51):
over the water or anywhere else at this weekend's specific
air show in Huntington Beach because of the government shutdown.
The F thirty five Lightning two OH, the F twenty
two Raptor, and the A ten Thunderbolts are also grounded.
The Canadian Snowbirds and UK's Royal Air Force Falcons, along
with historic planes, will still be flying in the show
that runs today through Sunday. A shelter and place order
(33:14):
for Huntington Beach because of the refinery fire at the
Chevron facility in El Segundo has been lifted. The fire
on the sprawling one thousand acre facility has been contained
to one area, but the fire is still burning. People
who live in the area being told to keep doors
and windows closed because of the smoke from the fire.
The fire could burn for days or even weeks. It's
(33:34):
the largest refinery on the West Coast. Lottery jackpots are
getting up there again. The Mega Million's jackpot for tonight's
drawing is five hundred and twenty million dollars. The grand
price for Powerball is almost two hundred million. The next
Powerball drawing is tomorrow night. We're just minutes away from Handle.
On the news, police in Manchester, England are saying that
(33:59):
one of the people killed in that attack on the
synagogue may have been shot by police. Let's say good
morning now to ABC's Jim Ryans. So, Jim, this is infuriating.
A group says it's been raising money to pay for
breast cancer screenings for low income people and it didn't
make good on its fundraising promises. So tell us about it.
Speaker 11 (34:22):
Well, it didn't to the extent that the donors thought
it was. This case actually came out of California. That's
where the initial complaints were filed against this organization, carsus
dot Com, based on claims that the group had raised
millions and millions of dollars. From twenty seventeen to twenty
twenty two, amy the group raised forty five million dollars.
(34:42):
It's like other organizations. It accepts donated cars or trucks
or boats or whatever, and then they sell these things
and the proceeds are to go to breast cancer screenings
for low income women. But according to the Federal Trade Commission,
less than one half of one percent of that forty
five million dollars went to that purpose.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Wait, less than one half of one percent.
Speaker 11 (35:04):
Yeah, something like one hundred and eighty one hundred and
twenty six thousand dollars of the forty five million went
to breast cancer screenings for low income women.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Wow, and where did all where did the rest of
it go?
Speaker 11 (35:15):
Where do you think? Well, according to the FTC Federal
Trade Commission, a lot of it went to the operators
of carsors dot com in salaries and benefits and all
the rest of it. The two founders the two operators,
according to the FTC, essentially pocketed a lot of the money.
Some of the money went to a different organization that
(35:36):
also was to do breast cancer screenings. But it's just
kind of scattered out there.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
Now.
Speaker 11 (35:42):
Did the group do anything illegal?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Not technically.
Speaker 11 (35:46):
The FTC says this was deceptive that the commercials that
they were running on television and radio made big promises
about money going to this breast cancer screenings when it
simply didn't. So the group is still up and running.
This morning, I decided to do a little search and
see if they are still going. Well. That they name toys,
(36:08):
I'm sorry, carsar us dot com. If you put that
into your search window, it comes up to a different
charity whose founder and down at the bottom is the proud,
smiling face of the woman who founded cars are us
dot com.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Okay, I want to make a delineation on this too.
It's not cars for Kids. There's cars are Us and
there's cars for Kids. Our Tim Conway Junior has been
you know, the endorsement cars or forever. So they're different organization.
Speaker 11 (36:38):
Probably the folks angriest at carsorus dot com is probably
carsfour Kids dot com and other organizations that try to
do good work, and now people who might otherwise have
made donations to them are going to say, forget it,
where's my money going? I don't think so. Eighty four
thousand people made donations to this group, according to the FDC.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Yeah, okay, So we just recently did something with the
Union Rescue Mission, which is an organization that actually helps
people get off the streets who are homeless, and we've
talked about how so much money has been thrown at
it and where's the money going and all that stuff.
So there is a way for you to investigate your
charitable donations and where that money is going.
Speaker 11 (37:20):
Yes, and you can go to the you can go
to the IRS website if you want it and take
a look there. The easier way to do it, I
think is Charity Navigator, which is in the business essentially
of and is trusted to do background on these Farriss organizations.
So that's always a good idea.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Yeah, and I know that, just say. But one of
the reasons that Neil and I got behind the Union
Rescue Mission is because they're like, I don't know if
it's a five star rating. I don't remember what their
ratings are. But they have like a top rating from
Charity Navigator, So that might be a good way before
you donate, go and check out the organizations that you're
donating too, to make sure that the money is actually
going to where it's supposed to be.
Speaker 7 (37:58):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 11 (38:00):
Unfortunately, a case like this tends to harden people's hearts
and they say, I'm not going to donate my money
if I'm just throwing it away.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (38:06):
The group, by the way, was fine three point eight
million dollars by the FTC. The group said, we don't
have that kind of money. We raised forty five million dollars,
but we don't have that. So the court says, okay,
we're going to pay us five hundred and fifty thousand
dollars within ten days, and then you're going to set
up a payment plan to make the rest of the payment.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
So yeah, yeah, okay. So then here is a question
for you. Where is that three point eight million dollars
coming from? I mean, is it going to come from
the donations? Oh?
Speaker 11 (38:40):
Probably, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (38:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (38:42):
Yeah, that's it's a great question, you know. And again
I mean the money was raised with the intention or
with the promise that it was going to breast cancer screenings,
and so they may have a bank full of money
somewhere and they did live up to their promise in
a very small way, but maybe it was enough to
get through. So was it donated funds? I don't know
(39:02):
where else, what other source of income the group has?
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Well, see that would make it even more infuriating to me,
because it's not actually penalizing the people who should be
penalized for really not doing what they're supposed to do. Yeah, okay, well,
charity navigator before you before you donate. That's always a good.
Speaker 11 (39:18):
Idea, sure, Bett.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
All right, ABC's Jim Ryan, thanks so much for bringing
that one to light for us.
Speaker 11 (39:23):
Seamy.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
All right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Colleges
that play ball with President Trump could lose millions.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Governor Gavin Newsom is threatening to pull state funding from
any college in California that signs an agreement crafted by
President Trump on education to get federal money. Newsom said
in a statement that any California university that signs the
agreement will lose billions in state funding instantly. USC is
reportedly the one California school out of nine universities nationally
(39:53):
that received a letter recently from the Trump administration asking
for feedback on the education agenda before the language is finalized.
Jason Campadonia KFI News quick clarification.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
The El Segundo refinery fire has some neighborhoods. They're being
told to just stay inside, keep your doors and windows closed.
There was a shelter in place order for the city
of Manhattan Beach. I think I said Huntington Beach earlier
and it's Manhattan Beach. It's been lifted so regardless, but
it was for Manhattan Beach. White House Budget director Russ
(40:27):
Vaught says the Trump administration is going to withhold two
point one billion dollars for infrastructure projects in Chicago. He
wrote on social media this morning that the money was
put on hold to ensure funding is not flowing via
race based contracting. He made a similar announcement earlier this
week involving New York, where eighteen billion dollars for infrastructure
(40:48):
infrastructure is being paused. The president has promised federal layoffs
during the ongoing shutdown. He said yesterday that he would
use the shutdown to decide which Democratic agencies to close.
White House Press Secretary Caroline Lovett later said Trump would
use the shut down to cut agencies and programs that
don't align with the administration's policies and value.
Speaker 16 (41:08):
These discussions and these conversations, these meetings would not be
happening if the Democrats had voted to keep the government open.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
She says. The layoffs will likely be in the thousands.
Employee unions have sued to prevent job cuts. A new
study says air pollution makes things worse for people who
have sleep apnea.
Speaker 9 (41:27):
The study involved more than nineteen thousand patients with sleep
apnea from twenty five cities and fourteen countries. Results show
the number of incidents where a person has difficulty breathing
per hour of sleep increased for every one unit increase
in what's known as PM ten particle pollution. Researchers reported
their findings recently at a European Respiratory Society meeting in Amsterdam.
