You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call
with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Ok f I at kost In HD two Los Angeles
and Orange County.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I got all your haste, Amy, Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I'm thinking we need a little I Love LA this morning. Conor,
you could probably dig that up for us.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Yeah. What a game? All right, five.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
O'clock, straight up. This is your wake up call for Friday,
October tenth. I'm Amy King.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
What a game, and what an end to the game.
I got to go to the game and it was
a nail bier. It was just crazy but so much
fun and kind of a tough weight for Philly to
get a loss.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
But the game's the game, right.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
I don't understand why he threw home. I don't.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
I don't think anybody does.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
I do.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
I was like, I got flustered that he like bobbled it.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah, because the runner was not anywhere near the base.
He had plenty of time. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Panic they were saying. I was watching some of the
commentators after and they were saying, well, he just panicked,
and I'm like, well, he's pitching in the National League
Division Series, he shouldn't panic.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
But I mean, he's.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Human too, so I'm sure he feels bad enough about
what happened last night.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
He doesn't need us to beat up on him.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:45):
I mean, I know they make a good amount of money,
but even seeing him like air that ball and then
who has a mookie that scored I can't remember who
scored the final run, but just seeing him go across
the plate and then him just just by himself on
the mound, just knowing he lost the game for his
entire team.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
That was me.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
That's on me, guys, Sorry, that's on me. Well, anyway,
we'll take the win. It was spectacular to win, and
we're headed to the National League Championship Series.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
And that's what we're starting with with.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
On wake Up Call, the Boys in Blue beat Philadelphia
two to one in eleven long evenings at Dodger Stadium.
The League Championship, which is a best of seven series,
starts on Monday. We don't know yet who whether we
have home field advantage, and we won't know that until
the Cubs Brewers series is decided. That's going to happen
tomorrow night, So if the Cubs win, the Dodgers have
(02:39):
home field advantage starting Monday. If the Brewers win, we
start the series on the road. A ceasefire between Israel
and Hamas has gone into effect in Gaza. The pause
and fighting began hours after Israel's cabinet approved to cease
fire deal. All of the remaining hostages are expected to
be freed, should happen Monday or Tuesday, along with the
release of about two thousand Palestinian prisoners. ABC Stirt Donald
(03:01):
Miller in Jerusalem's going to bring us the latest on
the deal that could lead to an end of the
two year war that's coming up in just a couple
of minutes. Mayor Bass has called on the La City
Council to give homeowners a one time exemption to the
city's mansion tax to help speed up property sales and
speed up rebuilding in the Pacific Palisades Burn area.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
The Mayor's office is the proposed measure.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Ula exemption was an idea that came out of a
meeting between Bass and the man who she beat in
the mayor's race, businessman Rick Caruso. So we think of
springtime as the time to get your garden in shape,
but to really get your yard and your garden ready.
Fall is where it's at the host of home On KFI.
Dean Sharp is going to join us at five point
(03:43):
twenty to tell us how to get your yard and
garden winter ready, like we even have winter here. But anyway,
there are things you should should be doing and can
be doing.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
What's old is new?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Tron is back in theaters, But is it worth racing
down to the theater to see? ABC's Will Gans is
going to tell us. Also, j Lo is back in
a new musical Will It Make Your Skin Crawl? We'll
find out it's actually not Willgans, it's Mike Tubuski's in
for Will. Today, let's get started with some of the
(04:15):
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
The man accused of starting the fire in Pacific Palisades
has been ordered to stay in jail in Florida.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
That's where he was arrested earlier this week.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
A prosecutor said yesterday, twenty nine year old Jonathan Rinderneckt
had traits of an arsonist and that his family worried
about his declining mental state. He allegedly got into arguments
with his sister twice last month and threatened to burn
down her house where he's been staying. The Feds also
say he is a flight risk. La Mayor Bass has
responded to Rick Caruso's claims that she mishandled the Palisades fire.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
I just was saddened by it, honestly.
Speaker 9 (04:50):
Bass was speaking at a Bloomberg event when she was
asked about Crusoe's recent remarks on social media where he
criticized the city's low recovery efforts.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
I think that that response was.
Speaker 9 (04:59):
Beneath Bass, as the two are working on several projects together.
She says his comments are divisive and exploit grief. Perusso
has repeatedly criticized Bass and other officials for what he
describes as an overly slow rebuilding process in the Palisades.
Heatherbrooker KFI News.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Survivors of the Eaten Fire say they want more out
of southern California.
Speaker 10 (05:18):
Edison the Utility has been blamed for the fire that
devastated Altadena, Pasadena, and Sierra Madre. Andrew Wessel's with the
Eton Fire Survivors Networks as sokel Edison settlement offer does
not go far enough.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
We're asking Edison to align the draft with reality and
pay for the full footprint of their harm. Do that,
and recovery moves faster.
Speaker 10 (05:38):
Survivors say sokel Edison's map doesn't include all the houses
damaged in the fire. The utility has proposed money for
damages and those killed. People who agree to the settlement
would forfeit their right to sue. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
A pedestrian and a man on a motorcycle have been
killed in a crash in Huntington Beach. The two were
found in the street last night at Beach Boulevard and
Ellis Avenue. Please say it appears the pedestrian was crossing
beach outside a crosswalk when he was hit by the harley.
Governor Newsom assigned a law requiring landlords to provide working
refrigerators and stoves to tenants. Under the law, the appliances
(06:11):
are now considered essential or basic necessities like plumbing and electricity.
The law doesn't include certain rental properties like permanent supportive
housing and single room rentals. It goes into effect next
year and only applies to new, amended or extended leases
beginning January first. Let's say Good morning to ABC's Jordana
Miller in Jerusalem. So, Jordana, the ceasefire now in effect.
Speaker 11 (06:38):
That's right, the seasefire is in effect. Went in about
twelve new local time. You know, it comes after the
Israeli government ratified the first phase of President Trump's peace plan,
and in less than twelve hours, as they were required
(06:58):
to do for the agreement, Israeli army withdrew to a
new agreed upon line what's been called the Yellow line,
and that is a line that is further east. The
Israeli army has gone from operational control of about eighty
percent of Gaza down to now still a considerable chunk,
(07:19):
but down to fifty percent of control. So thousands of
soldiers have left and tanks, they've left Gaza City, They've
left Han units in the south parts of northern Gaza,
but not all of it. And they will stay.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Oh did we lose her?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Hey Kono, he walked out of the room. We lost Jordona.
Let's see if she's gonna get back with us. So
it sounds like they're doing what they were supposed to do,
and it looks like she's calling back in again. She
is in Jerusalem after half a whorld away. Okay, Jordana,
we lost you right when you were saying that they
(08:04):
were taking the troops were getting out of Hon Yunis
and Gaza City.
Speaker 11 (08:10):
That's right, and parts of northern Gaza. And they've now
retreated to that yellow line, which leaves the Israeli Army
in control of about fifty percent of Gaza versus eighty
percent before this first redeployment. Also, thousands of Israeli troops
have left Gaza entirely, the Israeli Army pulling them out
(08:31):
because they don't need them now for active combat. So
this ceasefire one of the important things about it amy Obviously,
First of all, it's a huge relief to people in Gaza.
Tens of thousands are trying to get back to their
homes in the north, and they have free passage now,
and there's real celebrations in Gaza that the war is
(08:53):
over here in Israel. There's also there's been really a
consistent presence of Israelis at Hostage Square celebrating and dancing
really for the last almost forty eight hours since the
news of the.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Sign of the signing of the deal. Okay, So then
if she reconnects it. Yeah, if she reconnects, I want
to ask her when does the humanitarian aid start coming in?
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Also? And now she's back all right.
Speaker 11 (09:26):
Yeah, I guess you know, there's a lot of people
talking out of Israel today. So the good news Amy
is that the East fires, the seasfire, is underway. We
expect on Sunday or Monday for Hamas to turn over
the twenty living hostages, all in one foul swoop with
no ceremonies and some of the bodies of the hostages,
(09:48):
not all of them. And President Trump is expected to
be here for that. Israel planning for him to arrive
on Sunday and give what israelis our calling a historic
speech to Israel's parliament on Monday. So, you know, still
a lot to come ISRAELI, you know, just waiting to
(10:09):
see those hostages come out alive. Some of them will
be in really bad shape. We know some of them
have been starved and abused, but they held on and
they made it to a lot of people's surprise. Hamas,
you know, did confirm that all twenty of those hostages
on Israel's intel list for being alive are indeed alive.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Okay, And then, Jordana, do we know when humanitarian aid
is going to start getting into the Gaza strip.
Speaker 11 (10:39):
Well, none of the crossings have been closed for aid,
so we've seen anywhere between three and four hundred trucks
of EIGHT come in every single day for the last
you know, two months, since since Israel really boosted EIGHT efforts.
But once the Israeli hostile stages, yeah, there's been a
(11:01):
going in. I mean that's why we've been seeing far
fewer reports of people dying of starvation in Gaza over
the last several weeks, because once there were a lot
of them, so THEYID got boosted. But now once these
really hostages are back on Israeli soil, then there's going
(11:21):
to be even more more entry of aid. We're going
to see what we saw during the last ceasefire, somewhere
between six and eight hundred trucks of aid come through.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Okay, Well, we will be anticipating that and also the
release of the hostages, and we will check in with
you early next week, I'm sure. ABC's Jordanah Miller in Jerusalem, thanks.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
So much for the update.
Speaker 11 (11:46):
Thanks Amy.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
All Right, finally some good news.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Well, it's going to be so interesting and just I
would imagine kind of on pins and needles on whether
this is going to stick. Let's get back to some
of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four
our newsroom. The government shut down will continue until at
least next week, now that senators have left Washington, d C.
For the weekend without passing a spending plan to reopen
(12:10):
the government. The Smithsonian Museums and the National Zoo say
they're going to be opened through tomorrow, but officials that
both are saying they'll close on Sunday and will likely
remain closed until there's a resolution. The Holocaust Memorial Museum
plans to close on the eighteenth. This year's Nobel Peace
Prize has been awarded to an opposition leader in Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
The Nobel Committee explained why it awarded this year's Peace
Prize to Maria Corina Machado of Venezuela.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
The woman who keeps the flame of democracy burning amidst
a growing darkness.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Bachado takes home the honor for her efforts to promote
democracy and fight against a dictator in her home country.
There were more than three hundred nominees for the Peace
Prize this year, including President Donald Trump i'm Rory O'Neil.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
A federal judge is temporarily blocking President Trump's deployment of
National Guard troops to Chicago. The judge partially granted a
temporary restraining order requested by lawyers representing Governor J. B.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Pritzker.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
The order, which will last for two weeks, temporarily blocks
Trump from federalizing and deploying the Guard in Illinois. In Oregon,
the Trump administration requested to pause a lower court ruling
that blocked the National Guard from operating in Portland. Both
cases are being heard in federal courts. Beware of falling satellites.
Speaker 12 (13:34):
SMITHSONI and astrophysicist Jonathan mcdowells has one or two of
Elon Musk's satellites fall back to Earth every single day,
and those numbers are going to keep going up. The
thousands of Musk satellites launched into low Earth orbit since
twenty nineteen have a five year lifespan, after which they
fall to Earth and are supposed to burn up in
the atmosphere. Musk, Amazon, China and others could put about
fifty thousand satellites in low Earth orbit. The Federal Aviation
(13:56):
Administrations has the chance of someone getting hit and killed
by space debris used to be an astronomical in probability,
but that's going to grow to sixty one percent each
year in the next ten years. Michael Krozier KFI News.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Great, something else to worry about.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
The government shutdown's going to last until at least next
week now that Senators have left DC for the weekend
without passing a spending bill. Both the House passed and
the Democratic spending bills failed a vote yesterday. Yeah, it
was a seventh time in a row that the same
bills have been voted down. Seems a little redundant, doesn't it.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Kids in LA doing better on tests.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Results of state standardized tests have been released by the
LA School District. They're showing marked improvements, with across the
board gains that exceed pre pandemic levels. The scores are
still behind the state wide average, but district officials say
LA students were improving more quickly than students in other
parts of the state. President Trump headed to Walter Reed
Medical Center before he heads to the Middle East this weekend.
(14:55):
It is time for his semi annual physical. His last
checkup was in April. Trump is expected to be in
Israel for the release of the hostages who've been held
by HAMOSP for more than two years. Now at six
oh five, it's Handle on the news, and of course
Handle is going to weigh in on the ceasefire that
has now begun in Gaza. Let's say good morning to
(15:16):
the host of home on KFI. It's our house, whispered
Dean Sharp morning, Dean morning, Amy.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
You're back from your.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Trek up the California coast to Big Sur and Carmel
by the Sea.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Yeah, beautiful up there.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
That was a great little trip. It was great.
Speaker 13 (15:32):
I mean, I love that area and it just never
ceases to impress. We spent like an hour and a
half one morning just watching a pair of sea otters
do their thing, and it was unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Speaking of beautiful things, yeah, people's gardens and yards are
beautiful things, but they do require a little attention. And
normally we would kind of think of, hey, let's get
everything in shape in the spring.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
But you're saying fall is kind of where it's right.
Speaker 13 (16:01):
Well, you know, the spring gets all the gardening attention,
all the you know, all the gardening websites, and I
know what a what an attention hog. But and there's
plenty of things to do in the spring for your
garden obviously, but when it comes to pruning especially, and
in other words, if you want to make major changes
(16:21):
in the garden, if you need a tree that needs
to get under control and you've got to cut back
some things, fall is the time to do it. It
is the time. And the key word here and for
the reason why is a dormancy.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Okay.
Speaker 13 (16:37):
I just think about this, like if a tree has
to have, you know, some major surgery done to it,
some limbs cut back and that kind of stuff, just
like you going into get a tooth pulled or a
dental procedure. You would rather do that while you're in
your that kind of twilight sleep than being woken up
by the dentist first thing in the morning.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Okay, with a drill in your mouth.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
So the idea is this that.
Speaker 13 (17:01):
Now is the time of year when when trees are
moving into dormancy. And all trees, by the way, not
just the ones that drop their leaves. All trees have
an active and adormant period. That's why there are tree rings.
When you look at a tree trunk, there's a ring
there are two rings actually for each year. There's a
light ring which represents the fast growth that happens in
(17:22):
spring and summer, and then there's a darker, smaller ring
that is that dormant winter autumn growth. So as a
tree is starting to move into dormancy, now is the
perfect time to you know, not shock it by having
you know, major things done to it. And then it
gets winter to kind of rest and recover, and by
(17:43):
springtime it is ready to rock and roll. So a
generally speaking, fall is a great time to make big
changes in the garden and awaiting a spring bloom.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Okay, Now I have a technical question for you. Although
we don't see it much, I do miss the seasons.
I'm from Oregon and we had the distinct seasons and
about this time of year everything starts turning bright yellow
and orange and then falls off. Yeah, why does that happen?
Why do autumn leaves change color?
Speaker 13 (18:14):
Well, it has to do again with that word dormancy.
A deciduous tree that is a tree that drops its leaves.
What it's doing is it's withdrawing its chlorophyll. And you know,
chlorophyll is what makes things green. It's pulling its chlorophyll
back into the trunk and the main branches of the tree,
and so it's literally withdrawing them from the leaves, which
(18:38):
are kind of their temporary solar panels for growth. And
if you look at a leaf not after it's fallen
to the ground, that's too late. But if you look
at a leaf that's actually changing color, and we have
a few of them around here, like liquid amber trees
and some maples and so on. But if you look
at a leaf that is in the middle of changing color,
you'll notice that the veins are green. First time ever
(18:58):
to see that, and that's because the chlorophyll is being
pulled out of the leaf back into the tree, and
at some point as it gets in fully, the tree
is going to seal off the stem of the leaf
and then the leaf will just drop off. And that's
why a tree loses its leaves. And while the chlorophyll
gets pulled back, a color that is actually there all
(19:21):
the time, but we just don't see it because of
the green canceling everything out. That reddish gold, just stunning
color that is carotenoids, like the same thing that makes
a carrot orange. It's sunblock that the tree has running
through its veins all the time. That protects the leaves
during the summer. Once the chlorophyll's gone, we see that
(19:44):
for a time and then the leaf is disposed of
and that is why they change color and fall off.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
I love that. Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
So, even though we don't have the same kinds of
seasons like you said, the trees do, they do lose
their leaves and they fall off, and then you have
you have to clean it up because it makes a
big freaking mess. And but you're saying that you shouldn't
bag and discard your fall leaves.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Why yeah, well not all of them, uh you know.
Speaker 13 (20:11):
I mean, if you're gonna have if you're gonna if
you've got a lot of trees dropping a lot of leaves,
obviously you're gonna have to bag and discard some of
them and please put them in the green containers so
that they go to a mulching facility. But the thing is,
if you've got a blower like a you know, a
yard blower, a leaf blower that actually has a vacuum
attachment to it, in other words, that works backwards, you
(20:32):
can put a little bag on the backside. You should
take at least one of those leaf cleanup days and
suck those leaves up instead of blowing them into a
corner to put them into a bag. Because when you
use a leaf blower to suck leaves into the bag
that it has, those leaves pass through the actual impeller
(20:52):
and they get mulched, They get broken up into tiny
little pieces, and then you can take those that bag
and dump them into your flower as mulch, especially around
the base of the tree, because if it was out
in the wild growing by itself, that's exactly what the
tree would be wanting to do. Anyway, we'd be dropping
its leaves right down, and it's the foot of it
(21:12):
its own trunk, and it would essentially, year after year
become posting its.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Own leaves for its own fertilizer.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Look at that, recreating nature with a with a leaf
blower exactly.
Speaker 13 (21:25):
And it's and by the way, use the leaf blower.
Tim Conway asked me last night, why don't we just
pile the leaves in there. It takes a long time
for a leaf to break down. If you pile leaves
in under your tree, you'll see them next year still,
So break them down into tiny chunks and then put
them there. It helps them get going.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
For more wisdom about trees than how to keep them
happy and healthy and get them ready for the next
growing season. You can listen to Home with Dean Sharp.
It is every weekend here on KFI six to eight
on Saturday morning, nine to noon on Sunday. You can
also follow Dean at Home with Dean. Thank you, mister Sharp.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Thanks Amy.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
The Dodgers are headed to the National League Championship Series.
They beat the Phillies two to one last night Dodger
Stadium on an error and a wild throat a home plate.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Oh my goodness, it crawls it away and the Dodgers
have won.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
It happened at the bottom of the eleventh inning. What
a game.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
The Championship Series starts on Monday. Game one will be
in Milwaukee if the Brewers win their division series against
the Cubs, or it'll be at Dodger Stadium if the
Cubs win, and we'll find that out in their Game
five tomorrow. A man posing as an electrician's been arrested
for allegedly breaking into a church in Huntington Beach. Police
(22:46):
say one Carlos Montille, claimed he was fixing a power
outage before he left. Investigators later tied him to several
church burglaries across southern California.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
He used the same scheme apparently.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
The eaton Fire Survivors Now Work says so Cal Edison
has not offered enough in its draft settlement proposal. The
utility has been blamed for January's wildfire now to Dina.
Pasadena and Sierra Madre resident Andrew wessel says the utilities
offer doesn't include all of the homes that were damaged.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
The fire's damage extended far beyond the official burn zone,
seeping into standing homes, coding yards, and forcing families to
flee homes that looked intact, but we're no longer safe
to live in.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
The organization says the financial offer is too low and
that families are not being properly considered for restitution. So
Cal Edison has offered money for damages and deaths, but
would require people to agree not to sue. Apple has
a new screening feature to stop some spam calls.
Speaker 14 (23:43):
This tool's part of the iOS twenty six update, and
let's just screen calls from unknown numbers. To activate it,
you have to update your iPhone and enable the feature
in the app settings. One of an unknown caller dials
a series style voice asks for their name and purpose.
Users receive a transcription and can choose to answer or
send a pre written message. Some users find it helpful,
but others report issues with important calls not getting through.
(24:05):
Apple's catching up with Google, which already offers a similar feature.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
News Tens of thousands of Palestinians who had gathered in
central Gaza had begun walking north. Their trek began after
the Israeli military announced a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas
had gone into effect. The announcement came hours after Israel's
cabinet approved a deal to pause the fighting and exchange
the remaining hostages for Palestinian prisoners. The Nobel Peace Prize
(24:32):
winner has been announced, and it's not President Trump. The
Nobel Committee awarded the prize to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria
Coriina Makado for her efforts to promote democracy and fight
against dictatorship in her home country. Trump was one of
more than three hundred and thirty people nominated for the prize.
Governor Newsom has signed an animal welfare law that targets
(24:53):
puppy mills, fraudulent pet breeding and selling, and cat declining
unless it's medically necessary. The legislation also voids contracts that
include non refundable deposits, which feed the puppy mill industry
and can often lead to potential pet parents getting unhealthy pets.
At six ZHO five, it's handle on the news. A
(25:14):
second Super Bowl halftime shows in the works, put on
by Turning Point USA.
Speaker 5 (25:19):
We'll tell you about that.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Here's some more stories coming out of the KFI twenty
four hour newsroom. The Israeli military says the ceasefire between
Israel and Hamas is in effect. Troops are withdrawing to
the agreed upon deployment lines called the Yellow Lines. Israel's
cabinet officially approved the first phase of the agreement yesterday.
ABC's Morgan Norwoods's more details have also been released.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
The US is preparing to send two hundred service members
to Israel, tasks with monitoring the ceasefire and supporting humanitarian aid,
security and logistics.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
All of the remaining hostages are said to be released
within seventy two hours. Twenty of the forty eight are
believed to be alive. AMAS has said recovering the bodies
of some dead hostages may take longer because it's not
known where they're buried. La Mayor Bass is called on
the city council to adopt an ordinance allowing for a
one time exception to the city so called mansion Tex tax.
(26:13):
It's being done to speed up property sales and rebuilding projects.
The measure, approved in twenty twenty two, adds a four
percent tax on property sales of more than five million
dollars and five and a half percent on sales of
more than ten million. Mayor Bass says the homeowners affected
by the fires are longtime residents living on fixed incomes,
and some want to leave the fire zone area and
(26:34):
rebuild their lives somewhere else. Budget cuts at Lacity Hall
may cost two city jails their health centers.
Speaker 10 (26:41):
The city council has voted to find out what losing
the health centers at the jail would mean and whether
there's any money to keep them open. City Councilwoman Nitthia
Rahman says the city should help its Medical Services division
with the centers, which.
Speaker 11 (26:52):
Provide much needed health services for people who are being
held by our law enforcement agencies.
Speaker 10 (27:01):
The city Council approved a budget in June that required
the closure of a one billion dollars shortfall. The Van
Nis Jail in the seventy seventh Street Jail have both
proposed cutting their medical centers. Michael Monks KFI.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
News California has become the first day to put in
place new rules for electric vehicle charging stations. The California
Energy Commission has set new standards for ev station reliability.
You know how the stations a lot of times you
pull up and they're broken. Well, now public fast chargers
built from twenty twenty four and after must be operational
(27:32):
ninety seven percent of the time. The new rules also
require charging companies to share information about their chargers, like
where they are, whether they're available, how much it costs,
and they're not allowed to charge for that service. The
move aims to encourage more people to adopt electric vehicles,
which has slowed in recent years because of concerns about
finding working chargers.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Time to get in your business with Bloomberg's Dan Schwartzman.
Morning Dan, Good morning Amy.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
How are you.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
I'm doing good.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
So if you're looking to buy a home, maybe things
are a little bit better today.
Speaker 15 (28:06):
Slightly They mortgage rates have fallen for the first time
in three weeks. Freddie Max says the average for a
thirty year fixed loan was six point three percent. That's
down slightly from last week. Rates, though, are significantly lower
than they were at midyear. But despite the low rate amy,
home buyers are treading cautiously, still dealing with affordability challenges
and concerns over where the economy might be headed. So
(28:29):
houses aren't moving even though rates are going down again.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Okay, so I have a question for you about mortgage rates.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
So yes, the Fed will come out and say, hey,
we're lowering interest rates, but that doesn't seem to really
have effect that much effect on mortgages is what is
making them bounce up and down.
Speaker 15 (28:44):
It should, but right now I think the uncertainty of
really everything is kind of making a bounce up and
down because look, people are kind of surprised they have
not gone down lower, let's put it that way, because
of the fact that rates are being lowered. I think
that when we see the next two cuts, though, they
are going to move again down, and once they hit
(29:05):
into the fives, I think people may start looking to
buy again.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
One government department is supposed to be back at work.
Speaker 15 (29:14):
Well, we have this government shutdown that seems to be
never ending. But the Bureau of it's.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
Only been nine days.
Speaker 15 (29:20):
But you know what, though, but things seem quiet and smooth, right,
So maybe they should stay out a little longer in
terms of government.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
But we need the federal workers.
Speaker 15 (29:27):
Yes, the Bureau of Labor Statistics AMY has recalled staff
to prepare a key inflation report that is necessary to
calculate the size of next year social Security checks. Now,
a source tell's Bloomberg News the agency was directed by
the White House Office of Management and Budget to bring
the employees back so they could assemble the September Consumer
Price to Next report in time for publication by the
(29:47):
end of the month. So this is actually important. Look,
people need their social Security checks. Government has to know
how much they're going to be in terms of how
much they go up, what's the increase, So they have
to use this data.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Now, they have to get the data.
Speaker 15 (29:59):
So even though there's a shutdown, people have to go
back to work and get this information.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Okay, And then speaking of the shutdown, we know that
earlier this week we had no air traffic controllers at
the Hollywood Burbank Airport, so they farmed it out to
another control tower in San Diego.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
But it's also getting worse across the US.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
What a disaster. I mean, honestly, this to me.
Speaker 15 (30:23):
I don't like to fly anyway, but right now I
really wouldn't want to fly. Air traveler is starting to
show signs of strain here in the US. Flight delays
caused by, of course, air traffic control staffing shortfalls have
impacted airports now in Dallas, Chicago, Nashville, you mentioned LA
and outside Washington, DC as well, controllers being forced to
work without pay. The US Travel Association estimates the shutdown
(30:45):
cost the American travel economy is a billion dollars in.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Lost spending per week.
Speaker 15 (30:50):
So these politicians want to play games and it is
hurting us all the bottom line.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yeah, they were saying that the last shutdown really was
resolved because of the air traffic control situation, So it'll
be interesting to see if this is what kind of
pushes their hand this time, although both sides seem pretty
dug in.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
And that was what thirty days I think the last one.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
I think it was thirty five days.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Crazy, Okay, so what are we expecting in the markets
on this Friday, October tenth.
Speaker 15 (31:16):
You know, when I talk to you about this, I
always had my fingers crossed when things are green, and
right now they are. The dows up two tenths of
a percent, and AZAK and S and P are slightly
over up a tenth of eight percent. So we're hoping
to end on a high note this week and again
the futures. Everything's in the green. SOI I'm a positive person.
I'm knocking on wood. Hopefully we get off the good
start with the markets this morning.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
All right, Bloomberg, Stan Schwartzman, thanks as always, Thank you, Amy,
have a good weekend.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
We'll get in your business again Monday morning at five
point forty, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he would fire
air traffic controllers who abuse sickly during the government shutdown,
controllers who called that sick earlier this week left the
Hollywood Burbank Airport with no flight controllers on site, which
led to cancelations and delays. And ex con accused of
(32:02):
breaking into several churches has been arrested in Huntington Beach.
Infistigator investigators say one Carlos Montille allegedly posed as an
electrician and tried to get into the first Christian church
in Huntington Beach that was back in August. A church
worker told him to get out and call the cops.
Police say they think the forty four year old also
broke into churches in Fountain Valley and La County.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
Has a rap sheet that is very long.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
First Lady Malania Trump is getting a jumpstart on Christmas
decorations at the White House. She shared a video online
showing her looking over a gold themed assortment of ornaments
and garlands. Of course, it's gold thing themed. Trump loves
everything gold. She was criticized for decorations during President Trump's
first term. She just said in response, everyone has different tastes.
(32:50):
That is true. We're just minutes away from handle on
the news this morning, the Nobel Prize has been awarded
the Peace Prize and is not going to President Trump.
I would imagine mister Hannah will have a thing or
two to say about that. Let's say good morning right
now to ABC's Mike Debuski. Okay, Mike Tron coming back
to theaters. Is it worth racing down to theaters to see?
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Well?
Speaker 7 (33:14):
If early reviews are to be believed. Maybe not.
Speaker 16 (33:16):
You might want to hold off on this particular one,
but it is a return to the Tron universe. So
for people who are fans of this very long running
sci fi franchise, it might be worth your while because
you get the classic Tron stuff. This is at its
core a story about people being sucked into computers, and
in this particular case of the new film, computer programs
coming out of the computer and wreaking havoc in our
(33:39):
actual real worlds, and they come with these sort of
very distinct sci fi aesthetics. One of the really cool
inventions of the Tron universe is the light cycle. These
are basically motorcycles that put up giant digital walls behind them,
and they're used as a sort of computer game in
the original films. In this new one, they actually come
out into the real world, you know, split buildings and
(34:01):
cars in half and all that sort of thing. So
it will be a pretty reliable action movie, it seems like,
at the very end of the day, with plenty of
neon and cool visuals. In addition to that, the soundtracks
of the Tron movies have been very well regarded. The
previous entry in the Tron Universe. The twenty ten movie
Tron Legacy had a score that was made by daft Punk,
(34:22):
the French sort of electro pop group. This new one
has a score by Nine Inch Nails Trent Reznor Atkis Ross.
They've been doing movie scores for a little while now.
You might remember the Social Network score or the score
to Gone Girl, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, all
these kind of cool, sort of techno moody thrillers. Now
they are reuniting the band as Nine Inch Nails and
(34:44):
scoring this new Tron movie, and some of the songs
that have come out from it are pretty rockin if
you like that type of thing. So at the very
least there are some, you know, classic like popcorn things
to like about this movie. But I am looking at
the New York Times review of the new Tron Aris movie,
which is titled who needs logic When you have Neon?
Speaker 2 (35:03):
You know?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
And I wasn't a fan of the Tron movies. I
like it, never got into it. I saw them and
was like.
Speaker 7 (35:08):
Huh, they are They're an acquired taste.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
I kind of liked the idea of them coming out
into the real world with the light cycles and slicing
and dicing stuff.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
That's kind of fun.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Again.
Speaker 16 (35:18):
Some cool visuals definitely from the trailer. Jared Leto's in
this as well, and Greta Lee, who has been cropping
up in a lot of stuff recently. Greta Le's been
having a big year. But yeah, so that's tron Aries.
I haven't had a chance to see it yet, but
they're doing a screening here at ABC next week, so
I might catch that on Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
Okay. So one that you did screen was a new j.
Speaker 16 (35:39):
Lo musical, Yes, that's right, Kiss of the Spider Woman
and that movie that title rather might ring a bell
because it was a book originally and then was turned
into a musical in the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
Now it's back.
Speaker 16 (35:51):
It's being reimagined remade with Jennifer Lopez at the helm.
She's not directed it, but she's kind of the starring
role in this movie. It also stars da Go Luna
and a relative newcomer. Tona Tua is the name of
this performer. This is a story that follows two political
prisoners in Argentina in the early nineteen eighties and kind
of the waning days of a authoritarian regime there.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
Oh, I mean a second Diego. Luna is and Or
he is and.
Speaker 16 (36:17):
War exactly from Cassi and and Or fame, so Star
Wars fans will will appreciate him. And they are telling
each other the story of this kind of classic Hollywood
movie basically to entertain themselves while they are in prison.
And as they're describing this movie, you as the viewer,
find yourself placed in the movie and it becomes this
(36:38):
sort of soaring musical thing. And it's really interesting to
see the contrast between the sort of drab grays and
browns of the prison that they find themselves in and
the technic color really really heightened world of the musical
sort of you know, Golden Age of Hollywood thing that
they find themselves in. I saw this on Monday, and
I have to say, with the caveat that I really
do like musicals. I'm a musical person, and I know
(37:00):
that they're an acquired taste. They're not for everybody. I
really walked away surprised by this thing. I liked it
a lot. I thought there was a lot to say
about not just sort of the political storylines that they're
going into, but also the nature of relationships and friendships
and life and death. They get into a lot of
really kind of heavy topics here, but I think it
all coheres in the end, and it was easy for
(37:22):
this to really fall apart. There were moments where I'm like,
what exactly am I watching? But I think they landed
the plane and it really did work out, And I
think that's especially impressive given this sort of variety of
different topics that this musical deals with.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Yeah, and Jennifer Lopez, I mean, she's been in some stinkers,
let's be real.
Speaker 16 (37:38):
It does not exactly you know, engender a lot of
confidence when you hear j LO musical, But no, I.
Speaker 7 (37:44):
Thought this one was really really good.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Okay, that's great, and I've loved her in some movies too. Yeah,
so there you go. I think The Wedding Planner is
one of my favorites.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
Huh.
Speaker 16 (37:52):
Produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon as well, so
she is also a producer on this. So they got
the kind of original team back together for the one,
and plenty of speculation about her and Ben Affleck again,
so you know, there's a meta story line to this
one as well.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
Haven't they been married and divorced twice?
Speaker 7 (38:08):
It's time to move on our kids, Okay, love springs eternal.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Aby right right, Okay, So John Candy, he's been gone
for what twenty years?
Speaker 7 (38:17):
May in nineteen ninety four was with story.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
So more like thirty years.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Okay, but we're going to take a look back and
take a look at John Candy's life and legacy.
Speaker 16 (38:27):
Yeah, a new documentary out this weekend. It's called John
Candy I Like Me and this is on Amazon Prime Video.
It really all started when Ryan Reynolds, the comedian, a
fellow Canadian comedian as matter of fact, basically put together
this clip reel, this demo reel of John Candy's career
to mark the anniversary of his death a few years ago,
and that went viral on social media. People really really
(38:48):
responded to it, seeming to indicate that there was an
appetite for this type of thing. So Ryan Reynolds approached
Colin Hanks, who went on to direct this documentary. Colin Hanks,
of course, the son of Tom Hanks and the family
of John Candy, who participated in this documentary willingly, they
wanted to look back on their father's lives, of their
father's life. I was able to speak to Chris Candy
(39:10):
and Jennifer Candy Sullivan, his two children about their father,
about the process of making this documentary. John Candy died
in nineteen ninety four of a heart attack. As we said,
they were just children when that happened, so they didn't
really know their father, you know, super well, not as
an adult certainly, so piecing together his life over the
course of you know, sifting through these interviews in these
(39:31):
old home movies. They said it felt like being a
detective in their own father's life, and it is a
really affecting experience for them. Really good documentary. I have
to say, if you're a fan of comedy history, you're
going to see some really big names. You're going to see,
you know, Bill Murray to start off the documentary, mel Brooks,
Conan O'Brien, Catherine O'Hara, a lot of the original cast
of SCTV, which John Candy was an original member of.
(39:53):
Kind of the anti SNL in a lot of ways.
So this was a really interesting documentary and you might
learn something about this guy who we all kind of
have a relationship with in some degree or another, whether
you like him from home alone or planes, trains and automobiles,
splash stripes, like he's in a lot of movies. But
he had this sort of interesting career beyond that in
his life, beyond that, some of which appeared on screen,
(40:15):
some of which did not.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Okay, and that is on Netflix, and it's just it's
a documentary.
Speaker 7 (40:19):
It's on Amazons. But it is anemony.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
Yeah, so it's not a series. It's just a one
time thing.
Speaker 16 (40:24):
It's a one and done. It's yeah, it's about two
hours or so a little less than two hours. But yeah,
good watch if you like comedy history or if you
like John Candy.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
All Right, ABC's Mike Debuski, thank you so much for
the info.
Speaker 7 (40:34):
Of course, tack.
Speaker 5 (40:35):
All Right, have a great weekend.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Former Governor Schwarzenegger
says voters should not give politicians the power to redraw
congressional maps. A special election is being held in November
to let lawmakers redraw voting maps instead of an independent
commission voters chose in twenty ten when Schwarzenegger was governor.
He tells kfi's John Hobelt, the idea is insane.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Do this independent commission, and to take away the power
from the people again and to give it back to
the politicians.
Speaker 4 (41:09):
I think it's just such a wrong thing to do.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
He says he understands news and wants to fight President Trump,
but he says Trump didn't create California's problems like homelessness,
the highest rents, and the high cost of living. New
York Attorney General Letitia James has been charged as part
of a mortgage fraud investigation pushed by the Trump administration.
She's accused of bank fraud and making false statements to
a financial institution. ABC News legal contributor BERNARDA. V Alona
(41:37):
says James has been ordered to appear in court later
this month in Virginia.
Speaker 5 (41:41):
The question would be is whether the Department of Justice
will allow Letitia James to actually surrender herself to be
processed for this indictment.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
James has called the indictment nothing more than a continuation
of the President's desperate weaponization of our justice system. She
charged Trump with fraud while while he was running for president,
and some suspected cargo thieves have been caught with over
two hundred thousand dollars worth of stolen Electronics.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says they caught the
suspects a few hours after the theft happened in Sparks, Nevada.
Investigators say a truck full of apple products was stolen
early Thursday morning. Police across the region were asked to
be on the lookout for the truck. It was spotted
Thursday afternoon on Interstate five driving through La County. These
suspects were stopped near Glendale and taken into custody.
Speaker 4 (42:29):
Mark Mayfield, KOFI News and just.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Like that, our time on wake Up Call this week
is done. Congratulations again to the Dodgers. We'll be watching

I got all your haste, Amy, Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I'm thinking we need a little I Love LA this morning. Conor,
you could probably dig that up for us.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Yeah. What a game? All right, five.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
O'clock, straight up. This is your wake up call for Friday,
October tenth. I'm Amy King.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
What a game, and what an end to the game.
I got to go to the game and it was
a nail bier. It was just crazy but so much
fun and kind of a tough weight for Philly to
get a loss.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
But the game's the game, right.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
I don't understand why he threw home. I don't.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
I don't think anybody does.
Speaker 6 (01:15):
I do.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
I was like, I got flustered that he like bobbled it.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah, because the runner was not anywhere near the base.
He had plenty of time. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Panic they were saying. I was watching some of the
commentators after and they were saying, well, he just panicked,
and I'm like, well, he's pitching in the National League
Division Series, he shouldn't panic.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
But I mean, he's.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Human too, so I'm sure he feels bad enough about
what happened last night.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
He doesn't need us to beat up on him.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:45):
I mean, I know they make a good amount of money,
but even seeing him like air that ball and then
who has a mookie that scored I can't remember who
scored the final run, but just seeing him go across
the plate and then him just just by himself on
the mound, just knowing he lost the game for his
entire team.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
That was me.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
That's on me, guys, Sorry, that's on me. Well, anyway,
we'll take the win. It was spectacular to win, and
we're headed to the National League Championship Series.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
And that's what we're starting with with.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
On wake Up Call, the Boys in Blue beat Philadelphia
two to one in eleven long evenings at Dodger Stadium.
The League Championship, which is a best of seven series,
starts on Monday. We don't know yet who whether we
have home field advantage, and we won't know that until
the Cubs Brewers series is decided. That's going to happen
tomorrow night, So if the Cubs win, the Dodgers have
(02:39):
home field advantage starting Monday. If the Brewers win, we
start the series on the road. A ceasefire between Israel
and Hamas has gone into effect in Gaza. The pause
and fighting began hours after Israel's cabinet approved to cease
fire deal. All of the remaining hostages are expected to
be freed, should happen Monday or Tuesday, along with the
release of about two thousand Palestinian prisoners. ABC Stirt Donald
(03:01):
Miller in Jerusalem's going to bring us the latest on
the deal that could lead to an end of the
two year war that's coming up in just a couple
of minutes. Mayor Bass has called on the La City
Council to give homeowners a one time exemption to the
city's mansion tax to help speed up property sales and
speed up rebuilding in the Pacific Palisades Burn area.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
The Mayor's office is the proposed measure.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Ula exemption was an idea that came out of a
meeting between Bass and the man who she beat in
the mayor's race, businessman Rick Caruso. So we think of
springtime as the time to get your garden in shape,
but to really get your yard and your garden ready.
Fall is where it's at the host of home On KFI.
Dean Sharp is going to join us at five point
(03:43):
twenty to tell us how to get your yard and
garden winter ready, like we even have winter here. But anyway,
there are things you should should be doing and can
be doing.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
What's old is new?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Tron is back in theaters, But is it worth racing
down to the theater to see? ABC's Will Gans is
going to tell us. Also, j Lo is back in
a new musical Will It Make Your Skin Crawl? We'll
find out it's actually not Willgans, it's Mike Tubuski's in
for Will. Today, let's get started with some of the
(04:15):
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
The man accused of starting the fire in Pacific Palisades
has been ordered to stay in jail in Florida.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
That's where he was arrested earlier this week.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
A prosecutor said yesterday, twenty nine year old Jonathan Rinderneckt
had traits of an arsonist and that his family worried
about his declining mental state. He allegedly got into arguments
with his sister twice last month and threatened to burn
down her house where he's been staying. The Feds also
say he is a flight risk. La Mayor Bass has
responded to Rick Caruso's claims that she mishandled the Palisades fire.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
I just was saddened by it, honestly.
Speaker 9 (04:50):
Bass was speaking at a Bloomberg event when she was
asked about Crusoe's recent remarks on social media where he
criticized the city's low recovery efforts.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
I think that that response was.
Speaker 9 (04:59):
Beneath Bass, as the two are working on several projects together.
She says his comments are divisive and exploit grief. Perusso
has repeatedly criticized Bass and other officials for what he
describes as an overly slow rebuilding process in the Palisades.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Survivors of the Eaten Fire say they want more out
of southern California.
Speaker 10 (05:18):
Edison the Utility has been blamed for the fire that
devastated Altadena, Pasadena, and Sierra Madre. Andrew Wessel's with the
Eton Fire Survivors Networks as sokel Edison settlement offer does
not go far enough.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
We're asking Edison to align the draft with reality and
pay for the full footprint of their harm. Do that,
and recovery moves faster.
Speaker 10 (05:38):
Survivors say sokel Edison's map doesn't include all the houses
damaged in the fire. The utility has proposed money for
damages and those killed. People who agree to the settlement
would forfeit their right to sue. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
A pedestrian and a man on a motorcycle have been
killed in a crash in Huntington Beach. The two were
found in the street last night at Beach Boulevard and
Ellis Avenue. Please say it appears the pedestrian was crossing
beach outside a crosswalk when he was hit by the harley.
Governor Newsom assigned a law requiring landlords to provide working
refrigerators and stoves to tenants. Under the law, the appliances
(06:11):
are now considered essential or basic necessities like plumbing and electricity.
The law doesn't include certain rental properties like permanent supportive
housing and single room rentals. It goes into effect next
year and only applies to new, amended or extended leases
beginning January first. Let's say Good morning to ABC's Jordana
Miller in Jerusalem. So, Jordana, the ceasefire now in effect.
Speaker 11 (06:38):
That's right, the seasefire is in effect. Went in about
twelve new local time. You know, it comes after the
Israeli government ratified the first phase of President Trump's peace plan,
and in less than twelve hours, as they were required
(06:58):
to do for the agreement, Israeli army withdrew to a
new agreed upon line what's been called the Yellow line,
and that is a line that is further east. The
Israeli army has gone from operational control of about eighty
percent of Gaza down to now still a considerable chunk,
(07:19):
but down to fifty percent of control. So thousands of
soldiers have left and tanks, they've left Gaza City, They've
left Han units in the south parts of northern Gaza,
but not all of it. And they will stay.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Oh did we lose her?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Hey Kono, he walked out of the room. We lost Jordona.
Let's see if she's gonna get back with us. So
it sounds like they're doing what they were supposed to do,
and it looks like she's calling back in again. She
is in Jerusalem after half a whorld away. Okay, Jordana,
we lost you right when you were saying that they
(08:04):
were taking the troops were getting out of Hon Yunis
and Gaza City.
Speaker 11 (08:10):
That's right, and parts of northern Gaza. And they've now
retreated to that yellow line, which leaves the Israeli Army
in control of about fifty percent of Gaza versus eighty
percent before this first redeployment. Also, thousands of Israeli troops
have left Gaza entirely, the Israeli Army pulling them out
(08:31):
because they don't need them now for active combat. So
this ceasefire one of the important things about it amy Obviously,
First of all, it's a huge relief to people in Gaza.
Tens of thousands are trying to get back to their
homes in the north, and they have free passage now,
and there's real celebrations in Gaza that the war is
(08:53):
over here in Israel. There's also there's been really a
consistent presence of Israelis at Hostage Square celebrating and dancing
really for the last almost forty eight hours since the
news of the.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Sign of the signing of the deal. Okay, So then
if she reconnects it. Yeah, if she reconnects, I want
to ask her when does the humanitarian aid start coming in?
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Also? And now she's back all right.
Speaker 11 (09:26):
Yeah, I guess you know, there's a lot of people
talking out of Israel today. So the good news Amy
is that the East fires, the seasfire, is underway. We
expect on Sunday or Monday for Hamas to turn over
the twenty living hostages, all in one foul swoop with
no ceremonies and some of the bodies of the hostages,
(09:48):
not all of them. And President Trump is expected to
be here for that. Israel planning for him to arrive
on Sunday and give what israelis our calling a historic
speech to Israel's parliament on Monday. So, you know, still
a lot to come ISRAELI, you know, just waiting to
(10:09):
see those hostages come out alive. Some of them will
be in really bad shape. We know some of them
have been starved and abused, but they held on and
they made it to a lot of people's surprise. Hamas,
you know, did confirm that all twenty of those hostages
on Israel's intel list for being alive are indeed alive.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Okay, And then, Jordana, do we know when humanitarian aid
is going to start getting into the Gaza strip.
Speaker 11 (10:39):
Well, none of the crossings have been closed for aid,
so we've seen anywhere between three and four hundred trucks
of EIGHT come in every single day for the last
you know, two months, since since Israel really boosted EIGHT efforts.
But once the Israeli hostile stages, yeah, there's been a
(11:01):
going in. I mean that's why we've been seeing far
fewer reports of people dying of starvation in Gaza over
the last several weeks, because once there were a lot
of them, so THEYID got boosted. But now once these
really hostages are back on Israeli soil, then there's going
(11:21):
to be even more more entry of aid. We're going
to see what we saw during the last ceasefire, somewhere
between six and eight hundred trucks of aid come through.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Okay, Well, we will be anticipating that and also the
release of the hostages, and we will check in with
you early next week, I'm sure. ABC's Jordanah Miller in Jerusalem, thanks.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
So much for the update.
Speaker 11 (11:46):
Thanks Amy.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
All Right, finally some good news.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Well, it's going to be so interesting and just I
would imagine kind of on pins and needles on whether
this is going to stick. Let's get back to some
of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four
our newsroom. The government shut down will continue until at
least next week, now that senators have left Washington, d C.
For the weekend without passing a spending plan to reopen
(12:10):
the government. The Smithsonian Museums and the National Zoo say
they're going to be opened through tomorrow, but officials that
both are saying they'll close on Sunday and will likely
remain closed until there's a resolution. The Holocaust Memorial Museum
plans to close on the eighteenth. This year's Nobel Peace
Prize has been awarded to an opposition leader in Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
The Nobel Committee explained why it awarded this year's Peace
Prize to Maria Corina Machado of Venezuela.

The woman who keeps the flame of democracy burning amidst
a growing darkness.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Bachado takes home the honor for her efforts to promote
democracy and fight against a dictator in her home country.
There were more than three hundred nominees for the Peace
Prize this year, including President Donald Trump i'm Rory O'Neil.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
A federal judge is temporarily blocking President Trump's deployment of
National Guard troops to Chicago. The judge partially granted a
temporary restraining order requested by lawyers representing Governor J. B.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Pritzker.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
The order, which will last for two weeks, temporarily blocks
Trump from federalizing and deploying the Guard in Illinois. In Oregon,
the Trump administration requested to pause a lower court ruling
that blocked the National Guard from operating in Portland. Both
cases are being heard in federal courts. Beware of falling satellites.
Speaker 12 (13:34):
SMITHSONI and astrophysicist Jonathan mcdowells has one or two of
Elon Musk's satellites fall back to Earth every single day,
and those numbers are going to keep going up. The
thousands of Musk satellites launched into low Earth orbit since
twenty nineteen have a five year lifespan, after which they
fall to Earth and are supposed to burn up in
the atmosphere. Musk, Amazon, China and others could put about
fifty thousand satellites in low Earth orbit. The Federal Aviation

by space debris used to be an astronomical in probability,
but that's going to grow to sixty one percent each
year in the next ten years. Michael Krozier KFI News.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Great, something else to worry about.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
The government shutdown's going to last until at least next
week now that Senators have left DC for the weekend
without passing a spending bill. Both the House passed and
the Democratic spending bills failed a vote yesterday. Yeah, it
was a seventh time in a row that the same
bills have been voted down. Seems a little redundant, doesn't it.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Kids in LA doing better on tests.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Results of state standardized tests have been released by the
LA School District. They're showing marked improvements, with across the
board gains that exceed pre pandemic levels. The scores are
still behind the state wide average, but district officials say
LA students were improving more quickly than students in other
parts of the state. President Trump headed to Walter Reed
Medical Center before he heads to the Middle East this weekend.
(14:55):
It is time for his semi annual physical. His last
checkup was in April. Trump is expected to be in
Israel for the release of the hostages who've been held
by HAMOSP for more than two years. Now at six
oh five, it's Handle on the news, and of course
Handle is going to weigh in on the ceasefire that
has now begun in Gaza. Let's say good morning to
(15:16):
the host of home on KFI. It's our house, whispered
Dean Sharp morning, Dean morning, Amy.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
You're back from your.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Trek up the California coast to Big Sur and Carmel
by the Sea.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Yeah, beautiful up there.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
That was a great little trip. It was great.
Speaker 13 (15:32):
I mean, I love that area and it just never
ceases to impress. We spent like an hour and a
half one morning just watching a pair of sea otters
do their thing, and it was unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Speaking of beautiful things, yeah, people's gardens and yards are
beautiful things, but they do require a little attention. And
normally we would kind of think of, hey, let's get
everything in shape in the spring.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
But you're saying fall is kind of where it's right.
Speaker 13 (16:01):
Well, you know, the spring gets all the gardening attention,
all the you know, all the gardening websites, and I
know what a what an attention hog. But and there's
plenty of things to do in the spring for your
garden obviously, but when it comes to pruning especially, and
in other words, if you want to make major changes
(16:21):
in the garden, if you need a tree that needs
to get under control and you've got to cut back
some things, fall is the time to do it. It
is the time. And the key word here and for
the reason why is a dormancy.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Okay.
Speaker 13 (16:37):
I just think about this, like if a tree has
to have, you know, some major surgery done to it,
some limbs cut back and that kind of stuff, just
like you going into get a tooth pulled or a
dental procedure. You would rather do that while you're in
your that kind of twilight sleep than being woken up
by the dentist first thing in the morning.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Okay, with a drill in your mouth.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
So the idea is this that.
Speaker 13 (17:01):
Now is the time of year when when trees are
moving into dormancy. And all trees, by the way, not
just the ones that drop their leaves. All trees have
an active and adormant period. That's why there are tree rings.
When you look at a tree trunk, there's a ring
there are two rings actually for each year. There's a
light ring which represents the fast growth that happens in
(17:22):
spring and summer, and then there's a darker, smaller ring
that is that dormant winter autumn growth. So as a
tree is starting to move into dormancy, now is the
perfect time to you know, not shock it by having
you know, major things done to it. And then it
gets winter to kind of rest and recover, and by
(17:43):
springtime it is ready to rock and roll. So a
generally speaking, fall is a great time to make big
changes in the garden and awaiting a spring bloom.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Okay, Now I have a technical question for you. Although
we don't see it much, I do miss the seasons.
I'm from Oregon and we had the distinct seasons and
about this time of year everything starts turning bright yellow
and orange and then falls off. Yeah, why does that happen?
Why do autumn leaves change color?
Speaker 13 (18:14):
Well, it has to do again with that word dormancy.
A deciduous tree that is a tree that drops its leaves.
What it's doing is it's withdrawing its chlorophyll. And you know,
chlorophyll is what makes things green. It's pulling its chlorophyll
back into the trunk and the main branches of the tree,
and so it's literally withdrawing them from the leaves, which
(18:38):
are kind of their temporary solar panels for growth. And
if you look at a leaf not after it's fallen
to the ground, that's too late. But if you look
at a leaf that's actually changing color, and we have
a few of them around here, like liquid amber trees
and some maples and so on. But if you look
at a leaf that is in the middle of changing color,
you'll notice that the veins are green. First time ever
(18:58):
to see that, and that's because the chlorophyll is being
pulled out of the leaf back into the tree, and
at some point as it gets in fully, the tree
is going to seal off the stem of the leaf
and then the leaf will just drop off. And that's
why a tree loses its leaves. And while the chlorophyll
gets pulled back, a color that is actually there all
(19:21):
the time, but we just don't see it because of
the green canceling everything out. That reddish gold, just stunning
color that is carotenoids, like the same thing that makes
a carrot orange. It's sunblock that the tree has running
through its veins all the time. That protects the leaves
during the summer. Once the chlorophyll's gone, we see that
(19:44):
for a time and then the leaf is disposed of
and that is why they change color and fall off.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
I love that. Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
So, even though we don't have the same kinds of
seasons like you said, the trees do, they do lose
their leaves and they fall off, and then you have
you have to clean it up because it makes a
big freaking mess. And but you're saying that you shouldn't
bag and discard your fall leaves.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Why yeah, well not all of them, uh you know.
Speaker 13 (20:11):
I mean, if you're gonna have if you're gonna if
you've got a lot of trees dropping a lot of leaves,
obviously you're gonna have to bag and discard some of
them and please put them in the green containers so
that they go to a mulching facility. But the thing is,
if you've got a blower like a you know, a
yard blower, a leaf blower that actually has a vacuum
attachment to it, in other words, that works backwards, you
(20:32):
can put a little bag on the backside. You should
take at least one of those leaf cleanup days and
suck those leaves up instead of blowing them into a
corner to put them into a bag. Because when you
use a leaf blower to suck leaves into the bag
that it has, those leaves pass through the actual impeller
(20:52):
and they get mulched, They get broken up into tiny
little pieces, and then you can take those that bag
and dump them into your flower as mulch, especially around
the base of the tree, because if it was out
in the wild growing by itself, that's exactly what the
tree would be wanting to do. Anyway, we'd be dropping
its leaves right down, and it's the foot of it
(21:12):
its own trunk, and it would essentially, year after year
become posting its.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Own leaves for its own fertilizer.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Look at that, recreating nature with a with a leaf
blower exactly.
Speaker 13 (21:25):
And it's and by the way, use the leaf blower.
Tim Conway asked me last night, why don't we just
pile the leaves in there. It takes a long time
for a leaf to break down. If you pile leaves
in under your tree, you'll see them next year still,
So break them down into tiny chunks and then put
them there. It helps them get going.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
For more wisdom about trees than how to keep them
happy and healthy and get them ready for the next
growing season. You can listen to Home with Dean Sharp.
It is every weekend here on KFI six to eight

The Dodgers are headed to the National League Championship Series.
They beat the Phillies two to one last night Dodger
Stadium on an error and a wild throat a home plate.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Oh my goodness, it crawls it away and the Dodgers
have won.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
It happened at the bottom of the eleventh inning. What
a game.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
The Championship Series starts on Monday. Game one will be
in Milwaukee if the Brewers win their division series against
the Cubs, or it'll be at Dodger Stadium if the
Cubs win, and we'll find that out in their Game
five tomorrow. A man posing as an electrician's been arrested
for allegedly breaking into a church in Huntington Beach. Police
(22:46):
say one Carlos Montille, claimed he was fixing a power
outage before he left. Investigators later tied him to several
church burglaries across southern California.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
He used the same scheme apparently.

The eaton Fire Survivors Now Work says so Cal Edison
has not offered enough in its draft settlement proposal. The
utility has been blamed for January's wildfire now to Dina.
Pasadena and Sierra Madre resident Andrew wessel says the utilities
offer doesn't include all of the homes that were damaged.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
The fire's damage extended far beyond the official burn zone,
seeping into standing homes, coding yards, and forcing families to
flee homes that looked intact, but we're no longer safe
to live in.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
The organization says the financial offer is too low and
that families are not being properly considered for restitution. So
Cal Edison has offered money for damages and deaths, but
would require people to agree not to sue. Apple has
a new screening feature to stop some spam calls.
Speaker 14 (23:43):
This tool's part of the iOS twenty six update, and
let's just screen calls from unknown numbers. To activate it,
you have to update your iPhone and enable the feature
in the app settings. One of an unknown caller dials
a series style voice asks for their name and purpose.
Users receive a transcription and can choose to answer or
send a pre written message. Some users find it helpful,
but others report issues with important calls not getting through.
(24:05):
Apple's catching up with Google, which already offers a similar feature.

News Tens of thousands of Palestinians who had gathered in
central Gaza had begun walking north. Their trek began after
the Israeli military announced a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas
had gone into effect. The announcement came hours after Israel's
cabinet approved a deal to pause the fighting and exchange
the remaining hostages for Palestinian prisoners. The Nobel Peace Prize
(24:32):
winner has been announced, and it's not President Trump. The
Nobel Committee awarded the prize to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria
Coriina Makado for her efforts to promote democracy and fight
against dictatorship in her home country. Trump was one of
more than three hundred and thirty people nominated for the prize.
Governor Newsom has signed an animal welfare law that targets
(24:53):
puppy mills, fraudulent pet breeding and selling, and cat declining
unless it's medically necessary. The legislation also voids contracts that
include non refundable deposits, which feed the puppy mill industry
and can often lead to potential pet parents getting unhealthy pets.
At six ZHO five, it's handle on the news. A

Speaker 5 (25:19):
We'll tell you about that.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Here's some more stories coming out of the KFI twenty
four hour newsroom. The Israeli military says the ceasefire between
Israel and Hamas is in effect. Troops are withdrawing to
the agreed upon deployment lines called the Yellow Lines. Israel's
cabinet officially approved the first phase of the agreement yesterday.
ABC's Morgan Norwoods's more details have also been released.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
The US is preparing to send two hundred service members
to Israel, tasks with monitoring the ceasefire and supporting humanitarian aid,
security and logistics.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
All of the remaining hostages are said to be released
within seventy two hours. Twenty of the forty eight are
believed to be alive. AMAS has said recovering the bodies
of some dead hostages may take longer because it's not
known where they're buried. La Mayor Bass is called on
the city council to adopt an ordinance allowing for a
one time exception to the city so called mansion Tex tax.
(26:13):
It's being done to speed up property sales and rebuilding projects.
The measure, approved in twenty twenty two, adds a four
percent tax on property sales of more than five million
dollars and five and a half percent on sales of
more than ten million. Mayor Bass says the homeowners affected
by the fires are longtime residents living on fixed incomes,
and some want to leave the fire zone area and
(26:34):
rebuild their lives somewhere else. Budget cuts at Lacity Hall
may cost two city jails their health centers.
Speaker 10 (26:41):
The city council has voted to find out what losing
the health centers at the jail would mean and whether
there's any money to keep them open. City Councilwoman Nitthia
Rahman says the city should help its Medical Services division
with the centers, which.

Provide much needed health services for people who are being
held by our law enforcement agencies.

News California has become the first day to put in
place new rules for electric vehicle charging stations. The California
Energy Commission has set new standards for ev station reliability.
You know how the stations a lot of times you
pull up and they're broken. Well, now public fast chargers
built from twenty twenty four and after must be operational
(27:32):
ninety seven percent of the time. The new rules also
require charging companies to share information about their chargers, like
where they are, whether they're available, how much it costs,
and they're not allowed to charge for that service. The
move aims to encourage more people to adopt electric vehicles,
which has slowed in recent years because of concerns about
finding working chargers.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
Time to get in your business with Bloomberg's Dan Schwartzman.
Morning Dan, Good morning Amy.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
How are you.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
I'm doing good.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
So if you're looking to buy a home, maybe things
are a little bit better today.
Speaker 15 (28:06):
Slightly They mortgage rates have fallen for the first time
in three weeks. Freddie Max says the average for a
thirty year fixed loan was six point three percent. That's
down slightly from last week. Rates, though, are significantly lower
than they were at midyear. But despite the low rate amy,
home buyers are treading cautiously, still dealing with affordability challenges
and concerns over where the economy might be headed. So
(28:29):
houses aren't moving even though rates are going down again.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Okay, so I have a question for you about mortgage rates.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
So yes, the Fed will come out and say, hey,
we're lowering interest rates, but that doesn't seem to really
have effect that much effect on mortgages is what is
making them bounce up and down.
Speaker 15 (28:44):
It should, but right now I think the uncertainty of
really everything is kind of making a bounce up and
down because look, people are kind of surprised they have
not gone down lower, let's put it that way, because
of the fact that rates are being lowered. I think
that when we see the next two cuts, though, they
are going to move again down, and once they hit
(29:05):
into the fives, I think people may start looking to
buy again.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
One government department is supposed to be back at work.
Speaker 15 (29:14):
Well, we have this government shutdown that seems to be
never ending. But the Bureau of it's.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
Only been nine days.
Speaker 15 (29:20):
But you know what, though, but things seem quiet and smooth, right,
So maybe they should stay out a little longer in
terms of government.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
But we need the federal workers.
Speaker 15 (29:27):
Yes, the Bureau of Labor Statistics AMY has recalled staff
to prepare a key inflation report that is necessary to
calculate the size of next year social Security checks. Now,
a source tell's Bloomberg News the agency was directed by
the White House Office of Management and Budget to bring
the employees back so they could assemble the September Consumer
Price to Next report in time for publication by the
(29:47):
end of the month. So this is actually important. Look,
people need their social Security checks. Government has to know
how much they're going to be in terms of how
much they go up, what's the increase, So they have
to use this data.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Now, they have to get the data.
Speaker 15 (29:59):
So even though there's a shutdown, people have to go
back to work and get this information.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Okay, And then speaking of the shutdown, we know that
earlier this week we had no air traffic controllers at
the Hollywood Burbank Airport, so they farmed it out to
another control tower in San Diego.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
But it's also getting worse across the US.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
What a disaster. I mean, honestly, this to me.
Speaker 15 (30:23):
I don't like to fly anyway, but right now I
really wouldn't want to fly. Air traveler is starting to
show signs of strain here in the US. Flight delays
caused by, of course, air traffic control staffing shortfalls have
impacted airports now in Dallas, Chicago, Nashville, you mentioned LA
and outside Washington, DC as well, controllers being forced to
work without pay. The US Travel Association estimates the shutdown
(30:45):
cost the American travel economy is a billion dollars in.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Lost spending per week.
Speaker 15 (30:50):
So these politicians want to play games and it is
hurting us all the bottom line.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yeah, they were saying that the last shutdown really was
resolved because of the air traffic control situation, So it'll
be interesting to see if this is what kind of
pushes their hand this time, although both sides seem pretty
dug in.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
And that was what thirty days I think the last one.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
I think it was thirty five days.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Crazy, Okay, so what are we expecting in the markets
on this Friday, October tenth.
Speaker 15 (31:16):
You know, when I talk to you about this, I
always had my fingers crossed when things are green, and
right now they are. The dows up two tenths of
a percent, and AZAK and S and P are slightly
over up a tenth of eight percent. So we're hoping
to end on a high note this week and again
the futures. Everything's in the green. SOI I'm a positive person.
I'm knocking on wood. Hopefully we get off the good
start with the markets this morning.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
All right, Bloomberg, Stan Schwartzman, thanks as always, Thank you, Amy,
have a good weekend.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
We'll get in your business again Monday morning at five
point forty, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he would fire
air traffic controllers who abuse sickly during the government shutdown,
controllers who called that sick earlier this week left the
Hollywood Burbank Airport with no flight controllers on site, which
led to cancelations and delays. And ex con accused of
(32:02):
breaking into several churches has been arrested in Huntington Beach.
Infistigator investigators say one Carlos Montille allegedly posed as an
electrician and tried to get into the first Christian church
in Huntington Beach that was back in August. A church
worker told him to get out and call the cops.
Police say they think the forty four year old also
broke into churches in Fountain Valley and La County.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
Has a rap sheet that is very long.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
First Lady Malania Trump is getting a jumpstart on Christmas
decorations at the White House. She shared a video online
showing her looking over a gold themed assortment of ornaments
and garlands. Of course, it's gold thing themed. Trump loves
everything gold. She was criticized for decorations during President Trump's
first term. She just said in response, everyone has different tastes.
(32:50):
That is true. We're just minutes away from handle on
the news this morning, the Nobel Prize has been awarded
the Peace Prize and is not going to President Trump.
I would imagine mister Hannah will have a thing or
two to say about that. Let's say good morning right
now to ABC's Mike Debuski. Okay, Mike Tron coming back
to theaters. Is it worth racing down to theaters to see?
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Well?
Speaker 7 (33:14):
If early reviews are to be believed. Maybe not.
Speaker 16 (33:16):
You might want to hold off on this particular one,
but it is a return to the Tron universe. So
for people who are fans of this very long running
sci fi franchise, it might be worth your while because
you get the classic Tron stuff. This is at its
core a story about people being sucked into computers, and
in this particular case of the new film, computer programs
coming out of the computer and wreaking havoc in our
(33:39):
actual real worlds, and they come with these sort of
very distinct sci fi aesthetics. One of the really cool
inventions of the Tron universe is the light cycle. These
are basically motorcycles that put up giant digital walls behind them,
and they're used as a sort of computer game in
the original films. In this new one, they actually come
out into the real world, you know, split buildings and
(34:01):
cars in half and all that sort of thing. So
it will be a pretty reliable action movie, it seems like,
at the very end of the day, with plenty of
neon and cool visuals. In addition to that, the soundtracks
of the Tron movies have been very well regarded. The
previous entry in the Tron Universe. The twenty ten movie
Tron Legacy had a score that was made by daft Punk,
(34:22):
the French sort of electro pop group. This new one
has a score by Nine Inch Nails Trent Reznor Atkis Ross.
They've been doing movie scores for a little while now.
You might remember the Social Network score or the score
to Gone Girl, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, all
these kind of cool, sort of techno moody thrillers. Now
they are reuniting the band as Nine Inch Nails and
(34:44):
scoring this new Tron movie, and some of the songs
that have come out from it are pretty rockin if
you like that type of thing. So at the very
least there are some, you know, classic like popcorn things
to like about this movie. But I am looking at
the New York Times review of the new Tron Aris movie,
which is titled who needs logic When you have Neon?
Speaker 2 (35:03):
You know?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
And I wasn't a fan of the Tron movies. I
like it, never got into it. I saw them and
was like.
Speaker 7 (35:08):
Huh, they are They're an acquired taste.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
I kind of liked the idea of them coming out
into the real world with the light cycles and slicing
and dicing stuff.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
That's kind of fun.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Again.
Speaker 16 (35:18):
Some cool visuals definitely from the trailer. Jared Leto's in
this as well, and Greta Lee, who has been cropping
up in a lot of stuff recently. Greta Le's been
having a big year. But yeah, so that's tron Aries.
I haven't had a chance to see it yet, but
they're doing a screening here at ABC next week, so
I might catch that on Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
Okay. So one that you did screen was a new j.
Speaker 16 (35:39):
Lo musical, Yes, that's right, Kiss of the Spider Woman
and that movie that title rather might ring a bell
because it was a book originally and then was turned
into a musical in the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
Now it's back.
Speaker 16 (35:51):
It's being reimagined remade with Jennifer Lopez at the helm.
She's not directed it, but she's kind of the starring
role in this movie. It also stars da Go Luna
and a relative newcomer. Tona Tua is the name of
this performer. This is a story that follows two political
prisoners in Argentina in the early nineteen eighties and kind
of the waning days of a authoritarian regime there.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
Oh, I mean a second Diego. Luna is and Or
he is and.
Speaker 16 (36:17):
War exactly from Cassi and and Or fame, so Star
Wars fans will will appreciate him. And they are telling
each other the story of this kind of classic Hollywood
movie basically to entertain themselves while they are in prison.
And as they're describing this movie, you as the viewer,
find yourself placed in the movie and it becomes this
(36:38):
sort of soaring musical thing. And it's really interesting to
see the contrast between the sort of drab grays and
browns of the prison that they find themselves in and
the technic color really really heightened world of the musical
sort of you know, Golden Age of Hollywood thing that
they find themselves in. I saw this on Monday, and
I have to say, with the caveat that I really
do like musicals. I'm a musical person, and I know
(37:00):
that they're an acquired taste. They're not for everybody. I
really walked away surprised by this thing. I liked it
a lot. I thought there was a lot to say
about not just sort of the political storylines that they're
going into, but also the nature of relationships and friendships
and life and death. They get into a lot of
really kind of heavy topics here, but I think it
all coheres in the end, and it was easy for
(37:22):
this to really fall apart. There were moments where I'm like,
what exactly am I watching? But I think they landed
the plane and it really did work out, And I
think that's especially impressive given this sort of variety of
different topics that this musical deals with.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Yeah, and Jennifer Lopez, I mean, she's been in some stinkers,
let's be real.
Speaker 16 (37:38):
It does not exactly you know, engender a lot of
confidence when you hear j LO musical, But no, I.
Speaker 7 (37:44):
Thought this one was really really good.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Okay, that's great, and I've loved her in some movies too. Yeah,
so there you go. I think The Wedding Planner is
one of my favorites.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
Huh.
Speaker 16 (37:52):
Produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon as well, so
she is also a producer on this. So they got
the kind of original team back together for the one,
and plenty of speculation about her and Ben Affleck again,
so you know, there's a meta story line to this
one as well.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
Haven't they been married and divorced twice?
Speaker 7 (38:08):
It's time to move on our kids, Okay, love springs eternal.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Aby right right, Okay, So John Candy, he's been gone
for what twenty years?
Speaker 7 (38:17):
May in nineteen ninety four was with story.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
So more like thirty years.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Okay, but we're going to take a look back and
take a look at John Candy's life and legacy.
Speaker 16 (38:27):
Yeah, a new documentary out this weekend. It's called John
Candy I Like Me and this is on Amazon Prime Video.
It really all started when Ryan Reynolds, the comedian, a
fellow Canadian comedian as matter of fact, basically put together
this clip reel, this demo reel of John Candy's career
to mark the anniversary of his death a few years ago,
and that went viral on social media. People really really
(38:48):
responded to it, seeming to indicate that there was an
appetite for this type of thing. So Ryan Reynolds approached
Colin Hanks, who went on to direct this documentary. Colin Hanks,
of course, the son of Tom Hanks and the family
of John Candy, who participated in this documentary willingly, they
wanted to look back on their father's lives, of their
father's life. I was able to speak to Chris Candy
(39:10):
and Jennifer Candy Sullivan, his two children about their father,
about the process of making this documentary. John Candy died
in nineteen ninety four of a heart attack. As we said,
they were just children when that happened, so they didn't
really know their father, you know, super well, not as
an adult certainly, so piecing together his life over the
course of you know, sifting through these interviews in these
(39:31):
old home movies. They said it felt like being a
detective in their own father's life, and it is a
really affecting experience for them. Really good documentary. I have
to say, if you're a fan of comedy history, you're
going to see some really big names. You're going to see,
you know, Bill Murray to start off the documentary, mel Brooks,
Conan O'Brien, Catherine O'Hara, a lot of the original cast
of SCTV, which John Candy was an original member of.
(39:53):
Kind of the anti SNL in a lot of ways.
So this was a really interesting documentary and you might
learn something about this guy who we all kind of
have a relationship with in some degree or another, whether
you like him from home alone or planes, trains and automobiles,
splash stripes, like he's in a lot of movies. But
he had this sort of interesting career beyond that in
his life, beyond that, some of which appeared on screen,
(40:15):
some of which did not.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Okay, and that is on Netflix, and it's just it's
a documentary.
Speaker 7 (40:19):
It's on Amazons. But it is anemony.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
Yeah, so it's not a series. It's just a one
time thing.
Speaker 16 (40:24):
It's a one and done. It's yeah, it's about two
hours or so a little less than two hours. But yeah,
good watch if you like comedy history or if you
like John Candy.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
All Right, ABC's Mike Debuski, thank you so much for
the info.
Speaker 7 (40:34):
Of course, tack.
Speaker 5 (40:35):
All Right, have a great weekend.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Former Governor Schwarzenegger
says voters should not give politicians the power to redraw
congressional maps. A special election is being held in November
to let lawmakers redraw voting maps instead of an independent
commission voters chose in twenty ten when Schwarzenegger was governor.
He tells kfi's John Hobelt, the idea is insane.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Do this independent commission, and to take away the power
from the people again and to give it back to
the politicians.
Speaker 4 (41:09):
I think it's just such a wrong thing to do.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
He says he understands news and wants to fight President Trump,
but he says Trump didn't create California's problems like homelessness,
the highest rents, and the high cost of living. New
York Attorney General Letitia James has been charged as part
of a mortgage fraud investigation pushed by the Trump administration.
She's accused of bank fraud and making false statements to
a financial institution. ABC News legal contributor BERNARDA. V Alona
(41:37):
says James has been ordered to appear in court later
this month in Virginia.
Speaker 5 (41:41):
The question would be is whether the Department of Justice
will allow Letitia James to actually surrender herself to be
processed for this indictment.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
James has called the indictment nothing more than a continuation
of the President's desperate weaponization of our justice system. She
charged Trump with fraud while while he was running for president,
and some suspected cargo thieves have been caught with over
two hundred thousand dollars worth of stolen Electronics.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says they caught the
suspects a few hours after the theft happened in Sparks, Nevada.
Investigators say a truck full of apple products was stolen
early Thursday morning. Police across the region were asked to
be on the lookout for the truck. It was spotted
Thursday afternoon on Interstate five driving through La County. These
suspects were stopped near Glendale and taken into custody.
Speaker 4 (42:29):
