Your host, Amy Kay.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
It is five o'clock, straight up. This is your wake
up call.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
For Tuesday, November fourth, election Day. I'm Amy King. We're
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio App. I want to say
thanks to Heather Brooker for filling in for me. I
took a couple of days off, went up to Oregon.
Picked a bad time to go to Oregon. I'll tell
you about that coming up a little bit later.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
I gotta tell you, guys, I feel like I missed
the biggest party of the year, two hundred thousand people.
Where was I on a plane?
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
But wow, what a great celebration of a great team.
And I have some thoughts about that great team. I'm
gonna share them with you because I've had a lot
of time to think about it as I was sitting
on a plane instead of watching the game, sitting on
a plane listening to the game.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
You're not bitter.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I'm not bitter at all. Not bitter at all. Hey,
it's foggy out there, so foggy, so foggy. Will's gonna
let you know if that's affecting your morning commute. But man,
it was thick this morning, thick, thick, thick, So maybe
get up at a couple minutes extra early, or get
out the door a little bit early if you can,
(01:42):
and just prepare to slow down, because going eighty miles
an hour when it's thick, fog like that not such
a great idea. Not such a great idea. Here's what's
ahead on wake up call polls. We'll be open from
seven this morning until eight tonight as Californians decide a
single issue proposition, a measure that would bypass the Independent
(02:02):
Voting Commission and allow Democrats to redraw congressional maps to
favor Democrats in the twenty twenty six, twenty eight, and
thirty elections. Opponents say Prop fifty creates one of the
most extreme partisan gerrymanders in modern American history. Governor Newsom
says it's in response to Texas redrawing its congressional maps.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney has died. He served as
(02:25):
the nation's forty sixth Vice president under George W.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Bush.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
From two thousand and one to nine, Dick Cheney was
eighty four flights out of lax have been delayed for
an hour on average because of the government shutdown. The
delays are caused by the shutdown that enters its thirty
fifth day today. Tower staffing issues have been causing similar
delays at San Diego International. So on my trip to Oregon,
(02:49):
I wanted to check out the city of Portland because
we've talked about it.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
It's been in the news a lot.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
There's still a fight over whether the National Guard can
go in, and I've talked about how the beautiful, little
big city that is Portland has been destroyed over the
last couple of years by protests and almost no law enforcement.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
So I thought i'd go check it out. I'll tell
you what I found.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Also, the very fragile ceasefire in Israel appears to be
even more at risk as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanya, who
threatens to restart the fighting. We're going to find out
the latest with ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem in just
a couple of minutes. And with the government shutdown in today,
thirty five Democrats are calling out Republicans over the cancelation
of snap benefits.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
ABC.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Stephen Portnoy's going to tell us how Democrats say the
administration could restart those benefits now in spite of the shutdown.
He's joining us at five twenty. Also, if you're renting,
you may be in more of a power position than
you have been recently. The host of How to Money
on KFI, Joel Larsguard's going to tell you how you
can use that power to your advantage. Let's get started
(03:51):
with some of the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. Congressional redistricting is the ballot issue
this election day in California. Voters are deciding whether to
allow Democrats to pick up extra five seats in Congress
in next year's midterms by redrawing those maps. Governor Newsom
says Prop fifty is about defending American democracy.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Profifty is not.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
About drawing lines on a map.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
It is about holding the line to what makes us
who we are.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
He says.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Republicans have already changed congressional maps in Texas, also in
Ohio and Missouri.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
News brought to you.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
By ruterhiroo dot com. La Metro is offering free rides
today to get people to polls. From now through three
am tomorrow, the transit agency will not be collecting fares.
Riters can use metro buses, trains, bike share or its
micro ride share to get to the polls, or drop
off ballots at the nearest vote center or ballot dropbox.
A man in Riverside County who killed his seven month
(04:53):
old son has been sentenced to twenty five years to
life in prison. Jake Harrow pleaded guilty to second degree murder,
child assault, and file filing a false police report. Prosecutors
say he and his wife, Rebecca Harrow, tried to cover
up the crime after reporting the baby had been kidnapped
in August. Immanuel Harrow's body has never been found. Emmanuel's
(05:14):
maternal grandmother gave an emotional impact statement, saying the system
failed project giving.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
My second chance, the Aformation, give him another chance.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
The CPS, Oh, well, you.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
Know, one of his fineties kept fooling the bridge and
the houses seam.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
This isn't kind of okay.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Rebecca Harrow has pleaded not guilty. She's still in jail
as she awaits a separate court hearing. A fire burning
near State Highway seventy eight in northern San Diego Counties
now sixty percent surrounded with crews doing mop up. Cal
Fire says the Scissors fires burned just under seventy acres
along the main highway that connects Julian and Barrego's springs
in San Diego County's backcountry. It started Sunday afternoon time.
(05:54):
To say good morning now to ABC's Jordona Miller in Jerusalem, Jordana,
the very fragile sy fire seems to be even more precarious.
What's Israeli Prime Minister NETANYAHUU threatening.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Well, he's threatening if Hamas does not relinquish its arms
right and disarmed, turn over those weapons, that Israel will
have to go back in and do the job right.
And we've heard the president, President Trump saying the same thing.
They're committed under the deal to turn over their weapons
(06:27):
and by the way, to finish turning over the bodies
of the hostages. And if they don't do those things,
especially disarm, President Trump has said he can easily give
the green light to Israel to do it. He even
suggested there would be other countries in the region that
would join in that second war if you will against Hamas.
(06:50):
The good news is we're not there yet, and it
seems that the Prime Minister and the President are willing
to give Hamas some time to comply with the deal
and turn over their arms. There are still several questions
about who they would turn their arms over to. Would
it be this new stabilization force, which is not yet
(07:13):
put together and certainly not deployed. Would it be to
the Egyptians or to the Palestinian authority?
Speaker 8 (07:21):
Right?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Who does Hamas turn their arms over to and what's
the pace of that? That still has to be figured out.
On another more positive note, we've just heard in the
last hour that Hamas says they've found another body of
a released hostage, of a deceased hossage excuse me, and
(07:43):
the body is expected to be to be turned over
in the coming hours. Now. Israel just recently got the
bodies of three soldiers on Monday, and those funerals have
been ongoing. The highest ranking Israeli army official to be
killed on October seventh, a colonel who is in the
(08:06):
south during Hamas's surprise attack. He was buried today. Thousands
there came to pay their respects.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Okay and Jordana.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Now with the discovery of another body that you said
is going to be turned over, and then three other soldiers.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Where are we as?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I know that when I left we were at like
fourteen had been returned.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Where are we now?
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Right?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
So right now we're at eight And if this body
comes over tonight or today and is positively identified, we'll
be down to seven.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Okay, So there's a total we're getting.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Yeah, the twenty eight of the twenty eight, now twenty
have been positively identified and turned over and most of
them buried. And now there's eight remaining, right, and the
Israelis say that Hamas can get to about five of them.
There are three that the Israeli Army uh and well,
(09:03):
Israeli intelligence says they don't know exactly where those bodies
are three, but of the other there are five more
they believe him off can find.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And then dn I Secretary Telsea Gabberd is in Israel today.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
She's meeting with net Yahoo.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
That's right. She's scheduled to meet with Nathaniel this afternoon.
He actually cut his testimony short in his corruption trial.
He got, you know, he requested, he petitioned to end
his testimony early. The judges agreed to that. So he'll
be meeting with Tulsea Gabbert this afternoon. She'll be likely
(09:44):
also meeting with the Defense Minister Israel Katz, And of
course she already went to go visit the new Sencom
Center headquarters that is in southern Israel, in the town
of kuriotic got Uh. That's where about two hundred Americans
are set up to help facilitate and oversee President Trump's
(10:05):
peace plan. Gubbard also went to Krem Shalom, the crossing
on the Israeli side, to see the aid going in.
About six hundred trucks of eight are going in now
per day.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Okay, baby cis Jredna Miller in Jerusalem.

you soon.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Amy talkson all right.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Former Vice President Dick Cheney has died.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
His family says he died last night from complications of
pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease. Chaney was the youngest
White House Chief of Staff under President Ford, represented Wyoming
in the House of Representatives with Secretary of Defense under
George H. W. Bush, and later served two terms as
vice president under President George W.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Bush. After he left.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Office, Cheney said he was regularly checked by government doctors
because of heart disease.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Given my history, they watched me very closely. But about
every six months I go check up. They download mine
a sibrillator that's implanted in my shoulder, make sure my
heart's okay.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Dick Cheney was eighty four years old.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
The FBI is claiming an alleged Halloween terror plot in
Michigan was going to target the LGBTQ community in Detroit.
Federal authorities say they've recovered weapons, ammunition, and tactical gear.
ABC'SPR Thomas says the FBI is charging two men with
illegally acquiring guns that were used in the terror plot.
Speaker 9 (11:29):
Well Attorneys for at least one of the suspects say
the FBI is overreaching that the men were gamers who
used provocative language but had no intention of killing anyone.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
He describes them as from an all male group who
are US citizens in range in age from sixteen to twenty.
Charlie Kirk's widow says she wants cameras in the courtroom
when the man accused of assassinating her husband goes on trial.
Erica Kirk told Fox News there were cameras all over
when her husband was murdered, so there should be cameras
in court. The judge presiding over the case has placed
(12:00):
restrictions on cameras, but hasn't banned them completely. A man's
been arrested in Illinois for allegedly threatening to kill President Trump.
ABC's Kate kogeer And says he posted a video of
himself in which he said Trump should be executed.
Speaker 10 (12:13):
He said, in part, I know where I can get
a lot of expletive guns, and I'm going to take
care of business myself. He goes on to say people
need to exploitive die, and people are going to die,
especially you Trump.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
The man is now in federal custody.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Open ai and Amazon have signed a thirty eight billion
dollar deal to run open ai systems on Amazon's cloud services.
Speaker 11 (12:37):

through Amazon Web Services. The deal was announced yesterday, just
days after open ai changed its partnership with Microsoft. Last week,
California and Delaware regulators allowed open ai to move forward
with a new business structure to raise capital and make
a profit. Amazon stated that the demand for computing power
(12:59):
has surge due to AI advancements. Open Ai will start
using AWS immediately, with plans to expand further by twenty
twenty seven.

California wine sold out in less than twenty four hours.
Took in about fifty thousand dollars. The proceeds are being
donated to sixteen food banks across California.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Okay, So here's a thought on the Dodgers' big win.
So I watched the whole series, or listen to.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
It, which I'll tell you about in a little bit.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
But there I saw a post after it and somebody
said that the Dodgers really didn't deserve to win. And
I was thinking about that quite a bit, and I
was like, you know, the Blue Jays were fantastic. They really,
I mean, what a great You couldn't ask for a
better series, I don't think. And it did seem like
their offense overpowered the dot And then I thought, but
(14:02):
does that make them the better team because defense is
also part of the game. And you know the Dodgers
that get themselves in a pickle, and they'd get themselves
out of it, and the same thing happened. You know,
the Dodgers had the bases loaded and couldn't you know,
and the Blue Jays defense kicked in. So you could
either say that the offense didn't produce or you say
(14:23):
the defense did a spectacular job. And I will say
that our defense did a spectacular job in stopping the
Blue Jays from scoring, especially in extra innings.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
So I would say, yeah, yeah, they deserved it. Yeah, yeah,
I think so.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I mean, I just think and like I said, I
just think that was just the best, best series. And
I know it was a couple of days ago now,
but for me it's brand new because I haven't got
to talk to you guys about it because I was
on a plane.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
But so, congratulations Dodgers. I know, is it too soon
to talk about a three peat? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
The La Dream Center has expanded its operations to feed
people during the government shutdown, which is in its record
tying thirty fifth day. The Echo Park based nonprofit is
providing three meals a day. It's operating an outdoor food
pantry and is also deploying mobile food trucks into seventeen neighborhoods.
LA Metro is offering free rides for election day. Riders
(15:17):
can use Metro buses, trains, bike share, or its micro
ride share to get to the polls or drop off
ballots at their nearest vote center or ballot drawbox.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Here's the thing that I think is funny about that.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
The free rides are being offered now through three am tomorrow. Hello,
polls closed at eight o'clock. But I guess maybe it'll
take you a little time to get home.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
I don't know. LA is number one when it comes
to rats.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
The Exterminator Company ORCAN, says Los Angeles has topped its
list of the top fifty radiest cities for the first time.
Chicago was second, New York third, San Francisco was fourth.
Let's say good morning now to ABC's steam in Portnoy Stephen.
As the shutdown enters its record tying thirty fifth day,
(16:07):
A huge concern is those the snap benefits or food
stamps that are not being paid out.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Some are being paid. So tell us where we are
and what's next.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Yeah, the word if from the administration in federal court
yesterday amy was that partial payments will be made.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Now.
Speaker 8 (16:24):
The warning from the administration is is it leans on
this about four and a half billion dollar contingency fund
that because some state systems are antiquated, it could take weeks,
if not months, for this money to actually hit EBT
cards so people can take advantage of the partial benefit.
Democrats say the administration can and should be doing more
(16:47):
to fully fund SNAP benefits by tapping a pot of
money that is collected by tariffs that funds the school
lunch programs and other meals in schools for low income children.
And the federal judge in Rhode Island that is presiding
over one of these cases actually pointed to that pot
(17:07):
of money, which has more than twenty billion dollars in it,
to say, hey, that's money you can access Trump Administration
Department of Agriculture. But the administration said yesterday in court
that it would not do that because it argues that
to take four billion dollars to cover one half of
one month's SNAP need would pose an unacceptable risk to
(17:28):
the school lunch program and shift the current snap shortfall
onto kids who get free meals at school. And the
administration says it's not going to do that. So today
the Senate will take yet another vote which will likely
turn out with the same outcome where Democrats are likely
I imagined to block a short term stop gap as
(17:50):
this drags on, as you note, Amy into a new record.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Okay, so Stephen the I'm curious and I'm guessing that
you know.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
This because you covered stuff. But can the government just
like when.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
They're saying, hey, take the money from that program, are
they able to? Because that was that's one of the
things that like Trump said, we can't just arbitrarily fund it,
But can you just move around that money that's already
designated for something else?
Speaker 8 (18:18):
In a case like this, where there's money inside the
Department of Agriculture that is earmarked for a particular purpose,
there are limited ways where that you could transfer those
funds from one account within one particular agency to another.
What the government can't do is snap its fingers and
create money that Congress is not appropriated in this particular case,
(18:40):
because it's tariff revenue, it's money that's coming in the door,
sitting in an account has been dedicated to a particular purpose,
and that is this particular school lunch program, which continues,
by the way. But the idea that it can be
sort of, you know, you could use it as a
piggybank is something the administration knows it can do, but
it's chosen not to do. And that's why Democrats are
(19:01):
saying this is intentional. The idea that SNAP benefits will
be cut in half and could be delayed for weeks,
if not months, which is really hard to square, right,
hard to figure, But that's what the administration is saying
in a sworn statement in federal court that because of
these states, some of these state systems are so antiquated
that somehow reprogramming them could take months. I struggle to
(19:21):
see how that happens, but I suppose it might.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Okay, And just because I don't use SNAP benefits, are
like the are those EBT cards just reloaded, like reloaded
every month or whatever?
Speaker 8 (19:33):
Yeah? Right, I mean the autumn challenge. Yeah, the challenge
for any program, And it takes some time for that
money to be dispersed, and they do it in a
staggered way for a reason. And that's so that people
don't run out to the store the first week of
every month. Yeah, in some cases it's sort of. It's
just it's it's done over the span of weeks. Uh,
the I guess. The other issues is that people come
(19:57):
onto the program and are supposed to to drop off
the program as they can, as their circumstances might change.
If they get a job, for example, that you know,
they have an income, they don't need the benefit anymore. Well,
that's supposed to happen. And one of the things the
administration is saying is if you deplete the entirety of
the contingency fund, there won't be any additional money to
(20:19):
enroll new people into the program who may need it.
And it is what it is. But you know the
fact is that there's no money in it now at all.
So you have a couple of choices. You can set
money aside to enroll new recipients, but what's the point
of that if they're not getting any money at all,
if there's nothing to fund it. So this is a
difficult situation. The easiest way to fix this would be
(20:42):
for Congress to simply pass a bill, but that would
require agreement and there isn't any agreement because Democrats continue
pointing to what they see as another problem, twenty million
people who are seeing their health insurance costs go up
on the Obamacare exchanges. Republicans will say, yes, that's twenty million,
but look at the million more who were affected by everything.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Else, all right, and so it goes, and so it goes. ABC.
Stephen Bortonoy, thank you so much for the info. You
bet all right.
Speaker 1 (21:08):

but no injuries were reporting. A group of LA teachers

be allowed to finish school. Homeland Security says he ow
overstayed his visa after removed here from Chile. Investigators in
San Bernardino say the mother of missing nine year old

Raquel Zick with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
The indications are.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
That the license plate was switched to avoid detection and
we don't have any other plausible reason.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
New surveillance images also now show investigators that Melody was
alive with her mom on October ninth near the Colorado
Utah border. Honey, I gotta leave right now and get
on their trail. No, don't go anywhere. I'm coming in

to go and be at the game, and it was beautiful,
and the stadium is great and the fans are great.
And when they won, the quarterbacks you know, lifting his
hand up and flashing the number one sign, and I
was like, dude, not quite but it was very sweet
and it was very fun. Here's a reflection, Thoughe and
(25:20):
I just mentioned it. It's a note to myself. Never
plan a trip out of town around the time the
Dodgers are in the playoffs and could win back to
back World Series, because you know, I'm a huge Dodger fan.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Would you have gone to the parade, Well, you know,
I went to I did not go to the parade
last year.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I went to the victory celebration at Dodger Stadium, so
I might have been at one, but I feel like
I did miss out on a huge party. I watched
and listened to Game five on the plane because I
flew out Wednesday night, lost the video feed I was
watching it. I even paid for the WiFi never fails. Yeah,
and lost the video feed on my sling. Apparently we
(25:59):
got two far away from it, but I so. Then
I listened to the rest of the game on the
iHeartRadio app, and as I've said many times, it's a great,
great way to hear the game. And then on Halloween
night it was Game six, so I said, I don't
care what you guys want to do.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
I'm staying at home.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
I'm watching the Dodger game, and we can hand out
trick or treats and so if anything big was happening,
I'd go, Hey, Pam, Debbie, go get the door. Otherwise
I was like, I love trick or treaters, so I
was running to the door in between. But watched the
game and then watched Game seven. Well, actually I didn't
watch Game seven at all. I listened to it at
(26:36):
the stadium because it was on at the same time
as the Oregon State versus Washington State games. They won
and the Beaver's one and the Dodgers won.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
So it was a great day. I'm going to plan
better next year. Okay. Also, real quick thoughts.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
On Portland, because I've talked about it, how this beautiful
little city has been destroyed. And the last time that
I went to downtown Portland, it was a mess, like
the businesses were all boarded up. All the glass had
been either shattered or they just boarded them up to
prevent them from being shattered. Because they had protests after
the George Floyd thing. They had protests for a year,
(27:14):
every night for a year, and it literally down destroyed it.
They tore down all the statues, they spray painted them.
They decimated the parks so the parks were all fenced off.
Homeless were everywhere, and you think about homeless in LA
and you concentrate it in a very small, small area,
and it was just everywhere and it was awful. And
(27:35):
I've talked about that, so I went and wanted to
get an update. It has been cleaned up, so that
was good, but it's not back to normal. Mainly the
businesses are all gone. I think that the vacancy rate
in downtown is now like forty one percent. So Nordstrom
is still there, but apparently they're leaving. But all the
(27:56):
other really cool stores that used to be all in
this downtown core of a beautiful little city are gone.
And so some of the parks have been cleaned up.
They're doing a lot of construction, so they're working to
try to do it. They've removed a lot of the
graffiti because there was graffiti everywhere.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
So it's better, but it's not back to normal.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
So when I say that my little downtown Portland was destroyed,
it's still accurate. It's going to take a lot to
get it back. Also, I went by the Ice detention center.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
I gotta tell you. We went during the day because
we were like, we're.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Not going at night. I don't think they need the
National Guard there. Yeah, there was like thirty people and
they were all drawing and chanting. So yeah, I just
think that maybe that might be a bit of overkilled.
But that fight continues. So and can I just tell
you it is a beautiful, beautiful area if you haven't
(28:51):
been up to Portland, or if you haven't actually been
up to Oregon, not specifically Portland, but it is gorgeous,
especially this time of year. There's the lead are everywhere
in their orange and they're red and they're yellow. And
we went up we could see Mount Hood and we
went up to the rose garden.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
It was.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
It was just beautiful.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
So if you haven't had a chance to go to
Oregon and you want to see something really pretty, it's
a different kind of pretty than here.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
It's gorgeous all right.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Time to get in your business with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Good morning, Denise, Yeah, good morning too.
Speaker 7 (29:19):
I mean you were talking about the beaver's victory. Well
I should point out the beaver moon is tonight and
tomorrow night. The beaver moon is a super moon, you know,
larger and brighter, closer to Earth. It officially peaks tomorrow,
but it'll be visible on the nights of tonight and
tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
So how do they call that? Herdery? Yeah, full moon.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Just to celebrate the beavers. Yeah, their second winter of
the season. Okay, home buyers might be getting cold feet.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
Yeah, a lot of sellers are getting ghosted, much to
their shock. Redfin says fifteen percent of home buying contracts
were canceled in September.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Believe it or not.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
Now, this is happening especially in Florida and Exis right
places where the housing market is weak. But it's also
happening in southern California Riverside among the places, we're almost
eighteen percent of home contracts in September we're canceled. That's
almost one in five. You know, problems with people maybe
thinking mortgage rates are going to go lower, and mostly
(30:19):
people worrying about their jobs.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
That's what's behind all the ghosts. Okay, so here's a
question for you, Denise.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
When they cancel those agreements they do, they lose their
earnest money.
Speaker 7 (30:28):
So it depends on the situation. If it happens within
a certain period of time, and if they can find
a reason, then they can do it. So for example,
if there's a mortgage contingency, or if there's an inspection,
it's super easy for people to find something they don't
(30:49):
like in an inspection and just point to that, you know,
because nobody and nothing is perfect. Yeah, all they have
to do is find one leak and say nope, I
want you know, ten dollars for this one hundred thousand
dollars because the furnace you didn't tell me it was
twenty years old. And then as the seller, your question is, okay,
are you going to chase after them legally and try
(31:10):
to get this money or are you going to move
on to the next person.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Let it go in an overhouse. There's always another buyer. Okay,
so if you're not buying or selling, you might be remodeling.
And people are getting serious about their legos.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Tell us about that.
Speaker 7 (31:24):
Yeah, I mean, this just goes to show that legos
are for you know, kids of all ages, full grown
adults are spending tens of thousands of dollars on.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
These lego sets.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
Right.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
We knew that already, that they're expensive and people are
really into them all. The Wall Street Journal says some
people are so addicted amy that they are actually remodeling
their homes to make room for their Lego and Utopia,
so knocking down walls in their actual homes to put
in these you know, massive toy models. They talk to
one woman who is so crazy into this stuff. She
(31:57):
actually has a high security system, you know, fingerprint system,
so no one else can get in there, so no
one disturbs it. And she said she's even thinking of
adding cameras so that she can check on her Lego
Land Utopia when she travels.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Okay, and here's the weird thing.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
She's actually a mortgage broker, so she knows the value
of Okay, everybody has to have a hobby, right.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Okay, And then Coca Cola has new.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Holiday ads and not everybody's happy. Yeah, generative AI ads.
They're redoing their classic Coke caravan holiday commercial. The weird
thing is they did this last year and people really
didn't like it.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Last year.
Speaker 7 (32:34):
People said, you know, it looks like AI and it
was too slick. So they decided they were going to
do this again and try to use AI again, although
it appears that this time they tried to make it
look less slick. But the folks at the Verge and
a lot of people on the Internet are saying, you know,
instead of looking sort of handmade, it just looks shoddy,
(32:56):
like why couldn't Coke do better the way you know
the faces look the animals in it in this holidays
are coming commercial Like the animals they move all herkey
turkey weirdly, and the Verge says it takes all of
the festive joy out of the brand, with the animals
looking sloppily animated, almost creepy. Okay, they say, creepy. Coco
(33:17):
they save money on it took them only a month
instead of a year to produce. Oh, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
Spend the money they can afford it.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Bloomberg's Denise Pelgrene and getting in your business as we
do every morning at five point forty.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Thank you. Talk to you tomorrow, our doctors.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
The man from Riverside County who pleaded guilty to killing
his seven month old baby boys been sends to twenty
five years to life in prison. Jake Harrow had falsely claimed,
along with his wife, that little Emmanuel had been kidnapped.
The mothers pleaded not guilty. The little boy's body has
not been found. For those who want to vote in
California special election for Prop fifty but haven't registered, you
can still vote. Same day registration allows eligible citizens to
(33:53):
cast a conditional ballot. The ballot is counted once eligibility
is confirmed. Of course, we're voting on Prop fifty today
to decide whether to allow the Democrats to redraw congressional districts.
People Magazine's twenty twenty five sexiest Man Alive is Jonathan Bailey,
the star of Wicked and Bridgerton calls it an honor
(34:13):
of a lifetime. He's the first openly gay man to
ever hold the title of People's Sexiest man, let's say
good morning now to the host of How to Money
on KFI. It's Joel Larsgard. Joel renters have an upper
hand in the housing market. Please tell us about that.
Speaker 6 (34:28):
Oh yeah, so that's it's super interesting because for the
longest time, and man, I was getting so many phone
calls and emails from people during the height of the pandemic,
when we were just seeing incredibly rapid increases on rents,
like think about how quickly rents moved up right from
in twenty twenty one twenty twenty two, and it was
(34:49):
such a pain point, and people were devoting more of
their income, higher percentages of their income to rent than
ever before, across so much of the country. And that
it seems to have changed, it's subsided significantly. In some markets,
we're seeing rents decline meaningfully. And part of that is because,
I mean, truly, if you go back to econ one
(35:10):
oh one, we learned about supply and demand, and it
seems so quaint, and it seems like maybe it shouldn't
actually work out in reality as simple as as we
learned it. But it does, especially in the housing market.
It just takes time for this correcting mechanism to work.
And in cities that have allowed more building, we have
(35:30):
seen rent starting to go down. For instance, in Atlanta
and Austin. Austin in particular Boomtown, they built so many apartments.
We're seeing rents go down LA the LA area. We're
seeing rents at least moderate. We haven't seen as much
supply go into this market, but we're at least seeing
rents become more stagnant and soft. And it means more
(35:53):
apartments out there saying hey, we'll give you a month
or two a free rent, or you have more ability
to negotiate with a potential landlord about the terms that
maybe before you just kind of had to suck it
up and deal with whatever they told you, and if
you wanted the apartment or if you wanted the house,
you just had to be like, Okay, I guess I'm
signing up for that. And now you have more ability
to push back.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
So then, and I know you're always looking for a
good deal, So how do you do that gently?
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (36:19):
So I think there are ways to make it kind
of a win win situation as a renter. So first off,
like my little sister is the best at this what
she does is she is she's kind of a minimalist,
so moving's not nearly as big of a pain in
the butt as it is for most people, and so
she will take up those apartments on their offer. If
(36:40):
the apartment she got a couple months of free rent,
that is not offering the same deal the next year,
which typically they don't for someone sticking around, she'll march
right down the street and get a similar deal elsewhere.
Typically it's hard to negotiate the rent down, but you
can ask for a first free month or two, especially
in markets that are over build. The other thing you
(37:01):
can do making it a win win for a landlord
is to say, hey, listen, I'm willing to sign a
two year lease if you'd be willing to decrease the
rent by one hundred bucks a month. And what you
want to do is you want to speak to a
pain point that a landlord has, and often the thing
they're trying to avoid is vacancy. And so if you're like, hey, listen,
(37:23):
here's why I'm going to be a great tenant. I'm
planning on sticking around for a while. Can you give
me a better rate? Can you give me a better
price that's a good way to approach that negotiation. And
often a landlord's like, sure, that's good for me, and that's.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
Good for you, So it doesn't hurt to ask.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
That's good to know, because, like you said, a lot
of times you just go in and you think the
price is the price.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
But everything's negotiable, right.
Speaker 6 (37:43):
Yeah, everything is negotiable, even even with some of the
bigger apartment companies, but especially when we're talking about individual landlords.
There's just a lot of room to negotiate and to
find the situation, find a price, find terms. That kind
of the work out for everybody.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
All right, And now as we just go down in La,
the host of how to Money on KFI is Joel Larsgard.
You can hear him every weekend Sundays from noon to two,
and of course you can follow him at how to
Money Joel and he's got lots and lots and lots
of great advice for you. And next week I would
love to talk to you about creating a budget for
(38:20):
Christmas spending because it's upon us and if you're like me,
you probably overspent last year and you don't want to
repeat it this year.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
Let's do it, Okay, Thank you so much, Joel, you
got it. Talk to you soon, all right.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
For Tuesday, November fourth, election Day. I'm Amy King. We're
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio App. I want to say
thanks to Heather Brooker for filling in for me. I
took a couple of days off, went up to Oregon.
Picked a bad time to go to Oregon. I'll tell
you about that coming up a little bit later.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
I gotta tell you, guys, I feel like I missed
the biggest party of the year, two hundred thousand people.
Where was I on a plane?
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
But wow, what a great celebration of a great team.
And I have some thoughts about that great team. I'm
gonna share them with you because I've had a lot
of time to think about it as I was sitting
on a plane instead of watching the game, sitting on
a plane listening to the game.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
You're not bitter.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I'm not bitter at all. Not bitter at all. Hey,
it's foggy out there, so foggy, so foggy. Will's gonna
let you know if that's affecting your morning commute. But man,
it was thick this morning, thick, thick, thick, So maybe
get up at a couple minutes extra early, or get
out the door a little bit early if you can,
(01:42):
and just prepare to slow down, because going eighty miles
an hour when it's thick, fog like that not such
a great idea. Not such a great idea. Here's what's
ahead on wake up call polls. We'll be open from
seven this morning until eight tonight as Californians decide a
single issue proposition, a measure that would bypass the Independent
(02:02):
Voting Commission and allow Democrats to redraw congressional maps to
favor Democrats in the twenty twenty six, twenty eight, and
thirty elections. Opponents say Prop fifty creates one of the
most extreme partisan gerrymanders in modern American history. Governor Newsom
says it's in response to Texas redrawing its congressional maps.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney has died. He served as
(02:25):
the nation's forty sixth Vice president under George W.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Bush.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
From two thousand and one to nine, Dick Cheney was
eighty four flights out of lax have been delayed for
an hour on average because of the government shutdown. The
delays are caused by the shutdown that enters its thirty
fifth day today. Tower staffing issues have been causing similar
delays at San Diego International. So on my trip to Oregon,
(02:49):
I wanted to check out the city of Portland because
we've talked about it.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
It's been in the news a lot.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
There's still a fight over whether the National Guard can
go in, and I've talked about how the beautiful, little
big city that is Portland has been destroyed over the
last couple of years by protests and almost no law enforcement.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
So I thought i'd go check it out. I'll tell
you what I found.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Also, the very fragile ceasefire in Israel appears to be
even more at risk as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanya, who
threatens to restart the fighting. We're going to find out
the latest with ABC's Jordana Miller in Jerusalem in just
a couple of minutes. And with the government shutdown in today,
thirty five Democrats are calling out Republicans over the cancelation
of snap benefits.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
ABC.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Stephen Portnoy's going to tell us how Democrats say the
administration could restart those benefits now in spite of the shutdown.
He's joining us at five twenty. Also, if you're renting,
you may be in more of a power position than
you have been recently. The host of How to Money
on KFI, Joel Larsguard's going to tell you how you
can use that power to your advantage. Let's get started
(03:51):
with some of the stories coming out of the KFI
twenty four hour newsroom. Congressional redistricting is the ballot issue
this election day in California. Voters are deciding whether to
allow Democrats to pick up extra five seats in Congress
in next year's midterms by redrawing those maps. Governor Newsom
says Prop fifty is about defending American democracy.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Profifty is not.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
About drawing lines on a map.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
It is about holding the line to what makes us
who we are.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
He says.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Republicans have already changed congressional maps in Texas, also in
Ohio and Missouri.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
News brought to you.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
By ruterhiroo dot com. La Metro is offering free rides
today to get people to polls. From now through three
am tomorrow, the transit agency will not be collecting fares.
Riters can use metro buses, trains, bike share or its
micro ride share to get to the polls, or drop
off ballots at the nearest vote center or ballot dropbox.
A man in Riverside County who killed his seven month
(04:53):
old son has been sentenced to twenty five years to
life in prison. Jake Harrow pleaded guilty to second degree murder,
child assault, and file filing a false police report. Prosecutors
say he and his wife, Rebecca Harrow, tried to cover
up the crime after reporting the baby had been kidnapped
in August. Immanuel Harrow's body has never been found. Emmanuel's
(05:14):
maternal grandmother gave an emotional impact statement, saying the system
failed project giving.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
My second chance, the Aformation, give him another chance.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
The CPS, Oh, well, you.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
Know, one of his fineties kept fooling the bridge and
the houses seam.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
This isn't kind of okay.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Rebecca Harrow has pleaded not guilty. She's still in jail
as she awaits a separate court hearing. A fire burning
near State Highway seventy eight in northern San Diego Counties
now sixty percent surrounded with crews doing mop up. Cal
Fire says the Scissors fires burned just under seventy acres
along the main highway that connects Julian and Barrego's springs
in San Diego County's backcountry. It started Sunday afternoon time.
(05:54):
To say good morning now to ABC's Jordona Miller in Jerusalem, Jordana,
the very fragile sy fire seems to be even more precarious.
What's Israeli Prime Minister NETANYAHUU threatening.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Well, he's threatening if Hamas does not relinquish its arms
right and disarmed, turn over those weapons, that Israel will
have to go back in and do the job right.
And we've heard the president, President Trump saying the same thing.
They're committed under the deal to turn over their weapons
(06:27):
and by the way, to finish turning over the bodies
of the hostages. And if they don't do those things,
especially disarm, President Trump has said he can easily give
the green light to Israel to do it. He even
suggested there would be other countries in the region that
would join in that second war if you will against Hamas.
(06:50):
The good news is we're not there yet, and it
seems that the Prime Minister and the President are willing
to give Hamas some time to comply with the deal
and turn over their arms. There are still several questions
about who they would turn their arms over to. Would
it be this new stabilization force, which is not yet
(07:13):
put together and certainly not deployed. Would it be to
the Egyptians or to the Palestinian authority?
Speaker 8 (07:21):
Right?
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Who does Hamas turn their arms over to and what's
the pace of that? That still has to be figured out.
On another more positive note, we've just heard in the
last hour that Hamas says they've found another body of
a released hostage, of a deceased hossage excuse me, and
(07:43):
the body is expected to be to be turned over
in the coming hours. Now. Israel just recently got the
bodies of three soldiers on Monday, and those funerals have
been ongoing. The highest ranking Israeli army official to be
killed on October seventh, a colonel who is in the
(08:06):
south during Hamas's surprise attack. He was buried today. Thousands
there came to pay their respects.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Okay and Jordana.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Now with the discovery of another body that you said
is going to be turned over, and then three other soldiers.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Where are we as?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I know that when I left we were at like
fourteen had been returned.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Where are we now?
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Right?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
So right now we're at eight And if this body
comes over tonight or today and is positively identified, we'll
be down to seven.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Okay, So there's a total we're getting.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Yeah, the twenty eight of the twenty eight, now twenty
have been positively identified and turned over and most of
them buried. And now there's eight remaining, right, and the
Israelis say that Hamas can get to about five of them.
There are three that the Israeli Army uh and well,
(09:03):
Israeli intelligence says they don't know exactly where those bodies
are three, but of the other there are five more
they believe him off can find.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And then dn I Secretary Telsea Gabberd is in Israel today.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
She's meeting with net Yahoo.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
That's right. She's scheduled to meet with Nathaniel this afternoon.
He actually cut his testimony short in his corruption trial.
He got, you know, he requested, he petitioned to end
his testimony early. The judges agreed to that. So he'll
be meeting with Tulsea Gabbert this afternoon. She'll be likely
(09:44):
also meeting with the Defense Minister Israel Katz, And of
course she already went to go visit the new Sencom
Center headquarters that is in southern Israel, in the town
of kuriotic got Uh. That's where about two hundred Americans
are set up to help facilitate and oversee President Trump's
(10:05):
peace plan. Gubbard also went to Krem Shalom, the crossing
on the Israeli side, to see the aid going in.
About six hundred trucks of eight are going in now
per day.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Okay, baby cis Jredna Miller in Jerusalem.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Thank you so much for the update. We'll talk to
you soon.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Amy talkson all right.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Former Vice President Dick Cheney has died.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
His family says he died last night from complications of
pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease. Chaney was the youngest
White House Chief of Staff under President Ford, represented Wyoming
in the House of Representatives with Secretary of Defense under
George H. W. Bush, and later served two terms as
vice president under President George W.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Bush. After he left.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Office, Cheney said he was regularly checked by government doctors
because of heart disease.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Given my history, they watched me very closely. But about
every six months I go check up. They download mine
a sibrillator that's implanted in my shoulder, make sure my
heart's okay.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Dick Cheney was eighty four years old.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
The FBI is claiming an alleged Halloween terror plot in
Michigan was going to target the LGBTQ community in Detroit.
Federal authorities say they've recovered weapons, ammunition, and tactical gear.
ABC'SPR Thomas says the FBI is charging two men with
illegally acquiring guns that were used in the terror plot.
Speaker 9 (11:29):
Well Attorneys for at least one of the suspects say
the FBI is overreaching that the men were gamers who
used provocative language but had no intention of killing anyone.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
He describes them as from an all male group who
are US citizens in range in age from sixteen to twenty.
Charlie Kirk's widow says she wants cameras in the courtroom
when the man accused of assassinating her husband goes on trial.
Erica Kirk told Fox News there were cameras all over
when her husband was murdered, so there should be cameras
in court. The judge presiding over the case has placed
(12:00):
restrictions on cameras, but hasn't banned them completely. A man's
been arrested in Illinois for allegedly threatening to kill President Trump.
ABC's Kate kogeer And says he posted a video of
himself in which he said Trump should be executed.
Speaker 10 (12:13):
He said, in part, I know where I can get
a lot of expletive guns, and I'm going to take
care of business myself. He goes on to say people
need to exploitive die, and people are going to die,
especially you Trump.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
The man is now in federal custody.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Open ai and Amazon have signed a thirty eight billion
dollar deal to run open ai systems on Amazon's cloud services.
Speaker 11 (12:37):
Open ai will access hundreds of thousands of Nvidia's aichips
through Amazon Web Services. The deal was announced yesterday, just
days after open ai changed its partnership with Microsoft. Last week,
California and Delaware regulators allowed open ai to move forward
with a new business structure to raise capital and make
a profit. Amazon stated that the demand for computing power
(12:59):
has surge due to AI advancements. Open Ai will start
using AWS immediately, with plans to expand further by twenty
twenty seven.

Commadian John Oliver's wine has sold out. Yeah, John Oliver
had wine. The last week Tonight host unveiled is Cabernet
Sauvan John on Sunday Night, Clever Right. The limited edition
California wine sold out in less than twenty four hours.
Took in about fifty thousand dollars. The proceeds are being
donated to sixteen food banks across California.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Okay, So here's a thought on the Dodgers' big win.
So I watched the whole series, or listen to.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
It, which I'll tell you about in a little bit.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
But there I saw a post after it and somebody
said that the Dodgers really didn't deserve to win. And
I was thinking about that quite a bit, and I
was like, you know, the Blue Jays were fantastic. They really,
I mean, what a great You couldn't ask for a
better series, I don't think. And it did seem like
their offense overpowered the dot And then I thought, but
(14:02):
does that make them the better team because defense is
also part of the game. And you know the Dodgers
that get themselves in a pickle, and they'd get themselves
out of it, and the same thing happened. You know,
the Dodgers had the bases loaded and couldn't you know,
and the Blue Jays defense kicked in. So you could
either say that the offense didn't produce or you say
(14:23):
the defense did a spectacular job. And I will say
that our defense did a spectacular job in stopping the
Blue Jays from scoring, especially in extra innings.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
So I would say, yeah, yeah, they deserved it. Yeah, yeah,
I think so.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I mean, I just think and like I said, I
just think that was just the best, best series. And
I know it was a couple of days ago now,
but for me it's brand new because I haven't got
to talk to you guys about it because I was
on a plane.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
But so, congratulations Dodgers. I know, is it too soon
to talk about a three peat? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
The La Dream Center has expanded its operations to feed
people during the government shutdown, which is in its record
tying thirty fifth day. The Echo Park based nonprofit is
providing three meals a day. It's operating an outdoor food
pantry and is also deploying mobile food trucks into seventeen neighborhoods.
LA Metro is offering free rides for election day. Riders
(15:17):
can use Metro buses, trains, bike share, or its micro
ride share to get to the polls or drop off
ballots at their nearest vote center or ballot drawbox.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Here's the thing that I think is funny about that.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
The free rides are being offered now through three am tomorrow. Hello,
polls closed at eight o'clock. But I guess maybe it'll
take you a little time to get home.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
I don't know. LA is number one when it comes
to rats.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
The Exterminator Company ORCAN, says Los Angeles has topped its
list of the top fifty radiest cities for the first time.
Chicago was second, New York third, San Francisco was fourth.
Let's say good morning now to ABC's steam in Portnoy Stephen.
As the shutdown enters its record tying thirty fifth day,
(16:07):
A huge concern is those the snap benefits or food
stamps that are not being paid out.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Some are being paid. So tell us where we are
and what's next.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Yeah, the word if from the administration in federal court
yesterday amy was that partial payments will be made.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Now.
Speaker 8 (16:24):
The warning from the administration is is it leans on
this about four and a half billion dollar contingency fund
that because some state systems are antiquated, it could take weeks,
if not months, for this money to actually hit EBT
cards so people can take advantage of the partial benefit.
Democrats say the administration can and should be doing more
(16:47):
to fully fund SNAP benefits by tapping a pot of
money that is collected by tariffs that funds the school
lunch programs and other meals in schools for low income children.
And the federal judge in Rhode Island that is presiding
over one of these cases actually pointed to that pot
(17:07):
of money, which has more than twenty billion dollars in it,
to say, hey, that's money you can access Trump Administration
Department of Agriculture. But the administration said yesterday in court
that it would not do that because it argues that
to take four billion dollars to cover one half of
one month's SNAP need would pose an unacceptable risk to
(17:28):
the school lunch program and shift the current snap shortfall
onto kids who get free meals at school. And the
administration says it's not going to do that. So today
the Senate will take yet another vote which will likely
turn out with the same outcome where Democrats are likely
I imagined to block a short term stop gap as
(17:50):
this drags on, as you note, Amy into a new record.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Okay, so Stephen the I'm curious and I'm guessing that
you know.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
This because you covered stuff. But can the government just
like when.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
They're saying, hey, take the money from that program, are
they able to? Because that was that's one of the
things that like Trump said, we can't just arbitrarily fund it,
But can you just move around that money that's already
designated for something else?
Speaker 8 (18:18):
In a case like this, where there's money inside the
Department of Agriculture that is earmarked for a particular purpose,
there are limited ways where that you could transfer those
funds from one account within one particular agency to another.
What the government can't do is snap its fingers and
create money that Congress is not appropriated in this particular case,
(18:40):
because it's tariff revenue, it's money that's coming in the door,
sitting in an account has been dedicated to a particular purpose,
and that is this particular school lunch program, which continues,
by the way. But the idea that it can be
sort of, you know, you could use it as a
piggybank is something the administration knows it can do, but
it's chosen not to do. And that's why Democrats are
(19:01):
saying this is intentional. The idea that SNAP benefits will
be cut in half and could be delayed for weeks,
if not months, which is really hard to square, right,
hard to figure, But that's what the administration is saying
in a sworn statement in federal court that because of
these states, some of these state systems are so antiquated
that somehow reprogramming them could take months. I struggle to
(19:21):
see how that happens, but I suppose it might.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Okay, And just because I don't use SNAP benefits, are
like the are those EBT cards just reloaded, like reloaded
every month or whatever?
Speaker 8 (19:33):
Yeah? Right, I mean the autumn challenge. Yeah, the challenge
for any program, And it takes some time for that
money to be dispersed, and they do it in a
staggered way for a reason. And that's so that people
don't run out to the store the first week of
every month. Yeah, in some cases it's sort of. It's
just it's it's done over the span of weeks. Uh,
the I guess. The other issues is that people come
(19:57):
onto the program and are supposed to to drop off
the program as they can, as their circumstances might change.
If they get a job, for example, that you know,
they have an income, they don't need the benefit anymore. Well,
that's supposed to happen. And one of the things the
administration is saying is if you deplete the entirety of
the contingency fund, there won't be any additional money to
(20:19):
enroll new people into the program who may need it.
And it is what it is. But you know the
fact is that there's no money in it now at all.
So you have a couple of choices. You can set
money aside to enroll new recipients, but what's the point
of that if they're not getting any money at all,
if there's nothing to fund it. So this is a
difficult situation. The easiest way to fix this would be
(20:42):
for Congress to simply pass a bill, but that would
require agreement and there isn't any agreement because Democrats continue
pointing to what they see as another problem, twenty million
people who are seeing their health insurance costs go up
on the Obamacare exchanges. Republicans will say, yes, that's twenty million,
but look at the million more who were affected by everything.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Else, all right, and so it goes, and so it goes. ABC.
Stephen Bortonoy, thank you so much for the info. You
bet all right.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
About two hundred thousand people converged on downtown LA to
celebrate back to back World Series Championship wins for the Dodgers.
Jacob Martinez came in from Sam Bernardino to celebrate.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
You know, it was awesome.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
All the Dodger fans showed out.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
We saw Blake's now Clayton Kershaw. I was he was
glad to see Kershaw.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
Happy on his last run. You know, it was awesome.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Everything was good here.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Golden Police say they had to disperse the crowd a
few times and two people were arrested, but for the
most part, the crowd was celebratory and friendly. HP cruiser
was vandalized and some fireworks were shot off into the air,
but no injuries were reporting. A group of LA teachers
has gathered to show support for a high school senior
who's being held by ice. Eighteen year old Benjamin Guerrero
(21:48):
Cruz was grabbed by federal agents several weeks ago in
Van Eys. He was apparently walking his dog near his
family's apartment when it happened. The teachers say he should
be allowed to finish school. Homeland Security says he ow
overstayed his visa after removed here from Chile. Investigators in
San Bernardino say the mother of missing nine year old
Melody Buzzard switched the license plates of her rental car
(22:10):
from California plates to New York plates on a road
trip to Nebraska and back. Melody left with her mom
on that trip. What there was no sign of Melody
when her mother returned where Keel Zick is with the
Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
Raquel Zick with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
The indications are.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
That the license plate was switched to avoid detection and
we don't have any other plausible reason.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
New surveillance images also now show investigators that Melody was
alive with her mom on October ninth near the Colorado
Utah border. Honey, I gotta leave right now and get
on their trail. No, don't go anywhere. I'm coming in
on Piedmont tomorrow on the seven o'clock flight. Three time
Oscar nominee Diane Lyatt has died.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Her death was announced by her daughter, actress Laura Dern,
who in a statement said, my amazing hero and my
profound the gift of a mother. Diane Ladd passed with
me beside her at her home in O Hi. Ladd
earned an Oscar nomination co starring with her daughter Laura
in Wild at Heart. Actress Diane Ladd died yesterday. She
was eighty nine years old. Former Vice President Dick Cheney
(23:14):
has died. His family says he died last night from
complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease. Dick Cheney
had five heart attacks during his life. He was eighty four.
CRUs are working to repair a massive sinkhole that opened
up in Woodland Hills. The water main break that caused
the sinkhole was reported yesterday around eleven am at Valley
(23:35):
Circle Boulevard and Marina Street, next to Camino Camino Real.
Charter High School. The sinkhole is thirty feet across valley
circles closed as Cruse worked to repair it. Dodgers Superstar
Show hey Otani says Dodgers fans are the greatest in
the world, and at the team's victory party at Dodger Stadium,
he said he's getting ready to get another ring next year.
(23:57):
The party at Dodger Stadium followed a victory parade through
downtown late to celebrate the Dodgers back to back World
Series win. Of course, boats being cast today. Polls open
up this morning, stay open until eight o'clock tonight, six
oh five.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
It's handling the news. Bill's going to weigh in on that. Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
So, as I mentioned, I just got back from a
short trip went up to Oregon for my friend's birthday.
She said for her birthday, she wanted me to go
to at least one Beaver game this year. And so
I'm wearing my Beaver's jersey because the Oregon State Beaver's
actually won on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Remember the surprising They are horrible.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
So and when I went to Oregon State, they were
horrible my freshman year, they won their first Pac ten
game in four years.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
I mean, so they were bad then.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
They're kind of like that now, except now it's the
Pac two because remember the Max exodus and everybody left.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
So for all of you in new.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Divisions USC and UCLA and just be grateful for.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
What you have.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
But it was fun because we got to we got
to go and be at the game, and it was beautiful,
and the stadium is great and the fans are great.
And when they won, the quarterbacks you know, lifting his
hand up and flashing the number one sign, and I
was like, dude, not quite but it was very sweet
and it was very fun. Here's a reflection, Thoughe and
(25:20):
I just mentioned it. It's a note to myself. Never
plan a trip out of town around the time the
Dodgers are in the playoffs and could win back to
back World Series, because you know, I'm a huge Dodger fan.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Would you have gone to the parade, Well, you know,
I went to I did not go to the parade
last year.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I went to the victory celebration at Dodger Stadium, so
I might have been at one, but I feel like
I did miss out on a huge party. I watched
and listened to Game five on the plane because I
flew out Wednesday night, lost the video feed I was
watching it. I even paid for the WiFi never fails. Yeah,
and lost the video feed on my sling. Apparently we
(25:59):
got two far away from it, but I so. Then
I listened to the rest of the game on the
iHeartRadio app, and as I've said many times, it's a great,
great way to hear the game. And then on Halloween
night it was Game six, so I said, I don't
care what you guys want to do.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
I'm staying at home.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
I'm watching the Dodger game, and we can hand out
trick or treats and so if anything big was happening,
I'd go, Hey, Pam, Debbie, go get the door. Otherwise
I was like, I love trick or treaters, so I
was running to the door in between. But watched the
game and then watched Game seven. Well, actually I didn't
watch Game seven at all. I listened to it at
(26:36):
the stadium because it was on at the same time
as the Oregon State versus Washington State games. They won
and the Beaver's one and the Dodgers won.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
So it was a great day. I'm going to plan
better next year. Okay. Also, real quick thoughts.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
On Portland, because I've talked about it, how this beautiful
little city has been destroyed. And the last time that
I went to downtown Portland, it was a mess, like
the businesses were all boarded up. All the glass had
been either shattered or they just boarded them up to
prevent them from being shattered. Because they had protests after
the George Floyd thing. They had protests for a year,
(27:14):
every night for a year, and it literally down destroyed it.
They tore down all the statues, they spray painted them.
They decimated the parks so the parks were all fenced off.
Homeless were everywhere, and you think about homeless in LA
and you concentrate it in a very small, small area,
and it was just everywhere and it was awful. And
(27:35):
I've talked about that, so I went and wanted to
get an update. It has been cleaned up, so that
was good, but it's not back to normal. Mainly the
businesses are all gone. I think that the vacancy rate
in downtown is now like forty one percent. So Nordstrom
is still there, but apparently they're leaving. But all the
(27:56):
other really cool stores that used to be all in
this downtown core of a beautiful little city are gone.
And so some of the parks have been cleaned up.
They're doing a lot of construction, so they're working to
try to do it. They've removed a lot of the
graffiti because there was graffiti everywhere.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
So it's better, but it's not back to normal.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
So when I say that my little downtown Portland was destroyed,
it's still accurate. It's going to take a lot to
get it back. Also, I went by the Ice detention center.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
I gotta tell you. We went during the day because
we were like, we're.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Not going at night. I don't think they need the
National Guard there. Yeah, there was like thirty people and
they were all drawing and chanting. So yeah, I just
think that maybe that might be a bit of overkilled.
But that fight continues. So and can I just tell
you it is a beautiful, beautiful area if you haven't
(28:51):
been up to Portland, or if you haven't actually been
up to Oregon, not specifically Portland, but it is gorgeous,
especially this time of year. There's the lead are everywhere
in their orange and they're red and they're yellow. And
we went up we could see Mount Hood and we
went up to the rose garden.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
It was.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
It was just beautiful.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
So if you haven't had a chance to go to
Oregon and you want to see something really pretty, it's
a different kind of pretty than here.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
It's gorgeous all right.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Time to get in your business with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Good morning, Denise, Yeah, good morning too.
Speaker 7 (29:19):
I mean you were talking about the beaver's victory. Well
I should point out the beaver moon is tonight and
tomorrow night. The beaver moon is a super moon, you know,
larger and brighter, closer to Earth. It officially peaks tomorrow,
but it'll be visible on the nights of tonight and
tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
So how do they call that? Herdery? Yeah, full moon.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Just to celebrate the beavers. Yeah, their second winter of
the season. Okay, home buyers might be getting cold feet.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
Yeah, a lot of sellers are getting ghosted, much to
their shock. Redfin says fifteen percent of home buying contracts
were canceled in September.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Believe it or not.
Speaker 7 (29:57):
Now, this is happening especially in Florida and Exis right
places where the housing market is weak. But it's also
happening in southern California Riverside among the places, we're almost
eighteen percent of home contracts in September we're canceled. That's
almost one in five. You know, problems with people maybe
thinking mortgage rates are going to go lower, and mostly
(30:19):
people worrying about their jobs.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
That's what's behind all the ghosts. Okay, so here's a
question for you, Denise.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
When they cancel those agreements they do, they lose their
earnest money.
Speaker 7 (30:28):
So it depends on the situation. If it happens within
a certain period of time, and if they can find
a reason, then they can do it. So for example,
if there's a mortgage contingency, or if there's an inspection,
it's super easy for people to find something they don't
(30:49):
like in an inspection and just point to that, you know,
because nobody and nothing is perfect. Yeah, all they have
to do is find one leak and say nope, I
want you know, ten dollars for this one hundred thousand
dollars because the furnace you didn't tell me it was
twenty years old. And then as the seller, your question is, okay,
are you going to chase after them legally and try
(31:10):
to get this money or are you going to move
on to the next person.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Let it go in an overhouse. There's always another buyer. Okay,
so if you're not buying or selling, you might be remodeling.
And people are getting serious about their legos.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Tell us about that.
Speaker 7 (31:24):
Yeah, I mean, this just goes to show that legos
are for you know, kids of all ages, full grown
adults are spending tens of thousands of dollars on.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
These lego sets.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
Right.
Speaker 7 (31:34):
We knew that already, that they're expensive and people are
really into them all. The Wall Street Journal says some
people are so addicted amy that they are actually remodeling
their homes to make room for their Lego and Utopia,
so knocking down walls in their actual homes to put
in these you know, massive toy models. They talk to
one woman who is so crazy into this stuff. She
(31:57):
actually has a high security system, you know, fingerprint system,
so no one else can get in there, so no
one disturbs it. And she said she's even thinking of
adding cameras so that she can check on her Lego
Land Utopia when she travels.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Okay, and here's the weird thing.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
She's actually a mortgage broker, so she knows the value
of Okay, everybody has to have a hobby, right.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Okay, And then Coca Cola has new.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Holiday ads and not everybody's happy. Yeah, generative AI ads.
They're redoing their classic Coke caravan holiday commercial. The weird
thing is they did this last year and people really
didn't like it.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Last year.
Speaker 7 (32:34):
People said, you know, it looks like AI and it
was too slick. So they decided they were going to
do this again and try to use AI again, although
it appears that this time they tried to make it
look less slick. But the folks at the Verge and
a lot of people on the Internet are saying, you know,
instead of looking sort of handmade, it just looks shoddy,
(32:56):
like why couldn't Coke do better the way you know
the faces look the animals in it in this holidays
are coming commercial Like the animals they move all herkey
turkey weirdly, and the Verge says it takes all of
the festive joy out of the brand, with the animals
looking sloppily animated, almost creepy. Okay, they say, creepy. Coco
(33:17):
they save money on it took them only a month
instead of a year to produce. Oh, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
Spend the money they can afford it.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Bloomberg's Denise Pelgrene and getting in your business as we
do every morning at five point forty.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Thank you. Talk to you tomorrow, our doctors.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
The man from Riverside County who pleaded guilty to killing
his seven month old baby boys been sends to twenty
five years to life in prison. Jake Harrow had falsely claimed,
along with his wife, that little Emmanuel had been kidnapped.
The mothers pleaded not guilty. The little boy's body has
not been found. For those who want to vote in
California special election for Prop fifty but haven't registered, you
can still vote. Same day registration allows eligible citizens to
(33:53):
cast a conditional ballot. The ballot is counted once eligibility
is confirmed. Of course, we're voting on Prop fifty today
to decide whether to allow the Democrats to redraw congressional districts.
People Magazine's twenty twenty five sexiest Man Alive is Jonathan Bailey,
the star of Wicked and Bridgerton calls it an honor
(34:13):
of a lifetime. He's the first openly gay man to
ever hold the title of People's Sexiest man, let's say
good morning now to the host of How to Money
on KFI. It's Joel Larsgard. Joel renters have an upper
hand in the housing market. Please tell us about that.
Speaker 6 (34:28):
Oh yeah, so that's it's super interesting because for the
longest time, and man, I was getting so many phone
calls and emails from people during the height of the pandemic,
when we were just seeing incredibly rapid increases on rents,
like think about how quickly rents moved up right from
in twenty twenty one twenty twenty two, and it was
(34:49):
such a pain point, and people were devoting more of
their income, higher percentages of their income to rent than
ever before, across so much of the country. And that
it seems to have changed, it's subsided significantly. In some markets,
we're seeing rents decline meaningfully. And part of that is because,
I mean, truly, if you go back to econ one
(35:10):
oh one, we learned about supply and demand, and it
seems so quaint, and it seems like maybe it shouldn't
actually work out in reality as simple as as we
learned it. But it does, especially in the housing market.
It just takes time for this correcting mechanism to work.
And in cities that have allowed more building, we have
(35:30):
seen rent starting to go down. For instance, in Atlanta
and Austin. Austin in particular Boomtown, they built so many apartments.
We're seeing rents go down LA the LA area. We're
seeing rents at least moderate. We haven't seen as much
supply go into this market, but we're at least seeing
rents become more stagnant and soft. And it means more
(35:53):
apartments out there saying hey, we'll give you a month
or two a free rent, or you have more ability
to negotiate with a potential landlord about the terms that
maybe before you just kind of had to suck it
up and deal with whatever they told you, and if
you wanted the apartment or if you wanted the house,
you just had to be like, Okay, I guess I'm
signing up for that. And now you have more ability
to push back.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
So then, and I know you're always looking for a
good deal, So how do you do that gently?
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (36:19):
So I think there are ways to make it kind
of a win win situation as a renter. So first off,
like my little sister is the best at this what
she does is she is she's kind of a minimalist,
so moving's not nearly as big of a pain in
the butt as it is for most people, and so
she will take up those apartments on their offer. If
(36:40):
the apartment she got a couple months of free rent,
that is not offering the same deal the next year,
which typically they don't for someone sticking around, she'll march
right down the street and get a similar deal elsewhere.
Typically it's hard to negotiate the rent down, but you
can ask for a first free month or two, especially
in markets that are over build. The other thing you
(37:01):
can do making it a win win for a landlord
is to say, hey, listen, I'm willing to sign a
two year lease if you'd be willing to decrease the
rent by one hundred bucks a month. And what you
want to do is you want to speak to a
pain point that a landlord has, and often the thing
they're trying to avoid is vacancy. And so if you're like, hey, listen,
(37:23):
here's why I'm going to be a great tenant. I'm
planning on sticking around for a while. Can you give
me a better rate? Can you give me a better
price that's a good way to approach that negotiation. And
often a landlord's like, sure, that's good for me, and that's.
Speaker 4 (37:34):
Good for you, So it doesn't hurt to ask.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
That's good to know, because, like you said, a lot
of times you just go in and you think the
price is the price.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
But everything's negotiable, right.
Speaker 6 (37:43):
Yeah, everything is negotiable, even even with some of the
bigger apartment companies, but especially when we're talking about individual landlords.
There's just a lot of room to negotiate and to
find the situation, find a price, find terms. That kind
of the work out for everybody.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
All right, And now as we just go down in La,
the host of how to Money on KFI is Joel Larsgard.
You can hear him every weekend Sundays from noon to two,
and of course you can follow him at how to
Money Joel and he's got lots and lots and lots
of great advice for you. And next week I would
love to talk to you about creating a budget for
(38:20):
Christmas spending because it's upon us and if you're like me,
you probably overspent last year and you don't want to
repeat it this year.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
Let's do it, Okay, Thank you so much, Joel, you
got it. Talk to you soon, all right.

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