Speaker 3 (00:16):
It's time for your morning wake up call.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Here's Amy King.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
It's five o'clock, straight up. This is your wake up
call for Monday, September fifteenth. I'm Amy King. We're live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. September fifteenth. Let's see, it's
due to math. That makes three months and ten days
till Christmas. I know, too soon. That's okay. I don't
(00:50):
do Christmas until after Halloween is over anyway, but that's
my sites are set on Halloween.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I'm still Some people wait till after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Oh wait, I don't. I don't decorate for the next
holiday until the current or the upcoming holiday is done. Cool,
but there's nothing between now and Halloween. And I'm just
itching to put my Halloween out, but I kind of
have to wait till October for that. Yeah, okay, the
we're just saying.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Come.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Driving in today, I had the window down because it.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Was just sort of nice.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
It was nice refreshing. Something flew into my vehicle while
I was going down the freeway. I didn't find it,
but I was like, oh my god, what was that?
Like you you just failed it like hit me. And
then I was like, man, if it's like one of
those big June bugs or something, I'm just gonna out.
I know. I never did find it. I got to
(01:41):
work and I just went, okay, so that if something
starts crawling on your leg, just calm down and just
you know, because you're going seventy plus miles per hour,
you're going to say eighty. I was all right, here's
what's ahead on wake up call. The memorial service for
Charlie Kirk has been set for this Sunday in Glendale, Arizona.
It'll happen at State Farms Stadium, the home of the
(02:04):
NFL's Cardinals. President Trump's expected to attend. Police are searching
for the person who stabbed a woman during a brawl
in West Hollywood. Sheriff's officials say about thirty people were
involved in the fight yesterday around three am on Santa
Monica Boulevard. The woman was taken to the hospital in
critical condition. The studio has won Best Comedy at last
night's seventy seven Emmy Awards. The Pit grabbed Best Drama.
(02:26):
I loved that show. Both shows lead actors picked up
the Best Actor awards, so Seth Rogan for The Studio
and Noah Wiley for The Pit. It was Wiley's first
Emmy win. He'd been nominated like five times for Er
but didn't win. Gene Smart took home the Emmy for Hacks,
and Britt Lauer got Best Actress in a Drama for Severance.
Mike Dubuski is going to join us at five twenty
(02:48):
for a complete wrap up of the glitz and the
glamour and the hits and the missus from last night's
Emmy's at the Peacock Theater in downtown LA. President Trump
has his site set on fighting back on crime in Tennessee,
where the National Guard is headed. Next ABC, Stephen Portinoy's
going to tell us more about that. That's coming up
for the top of the hour, and Neil and I
are going over the edge to help people find their
(03:10):
way home. We're going to be repelling off a twenty
five story building and you can do it with us
too if you want. Are you brave enough? I'll be
telling you more about that coming up on Wake Up Call.
Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man in
custody in connection with the killing of Charlie Kirk is
expected to make his first court appearance tomorrow. Utah Governor
(03:32):
Spencer Cox says Tyler Robinson has not been cooperating.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
We're collecting much more, including forensic evidence that is coming
back from Quantico that will help us tie the shooter
to the weapon and everything else.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Robinson was taken into custody late last week after the
shooting at a Utah College campus. Legal experts say people
may want to think twice before making comments on social media.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
In the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk's fatal shooting,
several workers have fired over their comments online, including MSNBC
analyst Matthew Dowd. Experts note that while laws vary overall,
there's very little legal protection for employees who are punished
or speech made both in and out of private workplaces,
especially as social media makes monitoring easier than ever other
(04:18):
Brooker CAFI News we're.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Going to be talking to kfi's national correspondent Rory O'Neill
more about what's going on with people losing their jobs
for comments they're making on social media. Coming up in
just a second. News brought to you by Semper Solaris.
Officials in Long Beach have canceled this year's annual Dia
de las Mortes parade because of worries about possible federal
(04:39):
illegal immigration rates. City spokesman Jen de Prez says officials
are not aware of federal enforcement activity that targets the parade,
but they've decided to cancel it at the request of
Councilwoman Mary Zendejas. The parade was expected to be held
in early November. UCLA has fired its head football coach
(05:00):
Sean Foster. It comes after the bruins oho and three
start to the season. The Bruins assistant coach Tim Skipper
will serve as the interim head coach while the college
looks for a replacement for Foster. Let's say good morning
now to kfi's national correspondent Rory O'Neill. So, Rory, it's
been five days since Charlie Kirk was assassinated. The person
who police believed it is in custody. What's the latest, Well.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Right, and we're seeing this fallout as you mentioned earlier,
about the companies are trying to deal with employees who
are posting some ugly things online. And I should note,
in addition to companies, even state local government's school districts
are also dealing with this, as some teachers have been
posting some pretty controversial stuff. And while people may say, hey,
what about free speech, well, yeah, that's from the government.
(05:47):
You know, if you're posting some of this ugly stuff
online and you identify as a worker for some company, work,
that company rather can fire you for posting a lot
of this stuff because essentially they don't want to get
dragged into this. And we've seen this impact companies like
Microsoft and Nasdaq and office Depot, even the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
And so people are just making hateful, mean comments or
celebration comments about Charlie Kirk's assassination, and the employers are
saying camp pretty much.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
We saw that video going viral of some workers at
an office depot I think in Michigan refusing to print
the posters saying that there was going to be a
Charlie Kirk visual. They said it was hate speech or
something and refuse to print the posters. You know, those
managers got fired for that, but we've also heard reports
of school teachers showing the graphic video or telling their
(06:39):
kids in the classroom that Charlie Kirk was anti trans
and anti black and all these things at a very
sensitive time.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Okay, okay, guys, National correspondent to Rory O'Neil, Thank you
so much.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Thanks Amy.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
All right, Yeah, it's an interesting it's been an interesting
thing to see the people coming out just with the hate.
I just don't think you should hate that anybody got assassinated.
I don't care what side you're on. That's my personal
opinion on that. Let's get back to some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
(07:17):
Another top official in the Biden administration has come forward
saying the former president should not have run for reelection.
Former Transportation Secretary Peter boodhaj Edge said it said it
on NBC's Meet the Press and added that Biden should
have made the decision sooner. Boodhaj Edge insisted he was
never part of the process of deciding whether Biden should
(07:40):
run again. The Trump administration plans to authorize National Guard
troops to enter Tennessee's second largest city, but the mayor
of Memphis, Paul Jung is pushing back on President Trump's
assertion that there is concern over crime in his city.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
I'd not support the National Guard. However, they are come,
not the mayor's call. The mayor doesn't have a say
or the authority to stop them from come.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Young says he will work for what's best for Memphis.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has arrived in Israel to
show US support for its closest ally in the Middle East.
Rubio and President Trump met with Quitar's Prime minister on
Friday to talk about the situation in Gaza. As pressure
mounts globally for Israel to stop its attacks, as the
(08:27):
Palestinian death tool rises, a new report finds dozens of
cases of people having brain injuries because of alleged exposure
to fumes on planes. In response, Airbus says its aircraft
are designed and manufactured according to all relevant and applicable
air worthiness requirements. Association of Flight Attendant's president Sarah Nelson
(08:48):
says the union has been concerned about this for decades,
and we've been concerned about it because of the very
real life consequences that crew members have faced because of
contaminated bleed air. She says manufacturers need to make planes
that either have filters or create a system where bleed
air isn't being used as the means of recirculated air
(09:09):
in the cabin. The owner of Rolling Stone, Billboard and
Variety assuming Google, Penske Media, has filed the lawsuit alleging
the tech giant's AI summaries use its journalism without consent
and reduce traffic to its websites. The suit says Google
only includes publishers' websites in its search results if it
can also use their articles as AI summaries. New research
(09:33):
shows people risk driving under the influence because of confusing
drink packaging. The study by the newly launched junk price
comparison service called wheels Away shows only fifty seven percent
of drivers know that drinks like Twisted Tea and white
Claw have alcohol in them. The research shows, with just
the design on each product to go buy, a lot
(09:56):
of people confuse drinks that have alcohol for energy drinks, juice,
or even flavored water. A sitcomps that in post eaten fire,
Alta Dina is getting some backlash less than a year
after the fire's tour through the City.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
The proposed show follows two estranged brothers forced to live
together after their late grandmother's house becomes entangled with the caretaker.
Many local residents and fire survivors criticize the project as insensitive,
saying it trivializes recent trauma. Some social media users say
the show was greenlit too soon and lacks community involvement.
A few locals hope the show will include Altadena consultants
(10:32):
and support the community through proceeds. Tammy Trihello, KFI News.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
So we're less than two weeks away now from when
Neil Savador and I are going to go over the Edge.
We're working with the Union Rescue Mission and this is
their big fundraiser of the year. It's called Over the Edge.
And what we do is we are raising money for
Union Rescue Mission and we're going to repel with your help,
(11:00):
your financial donation, We're going to repel twenty five stories
off the edge of the Hilton Los Angeles Universal City Hotel.
You know, it's that big, cool black building that you'd
drive by on the one oh one, And we went
out and did a site a site evaluation on Friday.
(11:22):
Twenty five stories is a really long way down but
it's for a really good cause. And you know that
we've talked about homelessness. It's very frustrating. I just saw
like new people and new tents in my little neighborhood
this morning as I was on my way into work,
and we just keep throwing money at it, but are
we really helping the situation? Well, Union Rescue Mission actually helps.
(11:43):
Their theme is find your Way Home, and the whole
point is that it's actually to get people who want
help to get back on their feet again. They have
a whole thing where they do transitional housing, they have
rehab programs, they do job training and all kinds of
really thing great things to actually help the people who
(12:04):
want to get help. And that's why I support Union
Rescue Mission. I know Neil does, and we hope that
you will support us as we take our journey over
the edge. So all you have to do it's super easy,
and I know that there's a lot of people asking
for your money, So anything you can do, we appreciate it,
whether it's five dollars or five hundred dollars, And if
it's one thousand dollars, you can go over the edge
with us. So a thousand dollars donation, whether you raise
(12:26):
it yourself or get your friends to chip in, then
you could go over the Edge with Neil and I
on September twenty sixth and twenty seventh. Very easy to do.
Just go to rm dot org slash ote over the
Edge and then there's a little Team KFI page and
you can donate there, or if you want to join
our team and repel with us, we would love to
(12:48):
have you again. The event is two weekends away September
twenty sixth and twenty seventh. We're going over the Edge
and hope that you will join us in whatever capacity
you can. What are you smiling out?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Will better than me?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
How come? Utah Governor Spencer Cox says investigators are not
yet ready to discuss a motive in the assassination of
conservative activist Charlie Kirk. He says a twenty two year
old who was arrested for it is not being cooperative.
Cox confirmed that the man was in a relationship with
his roommate, who is a male transitioning to become a female.
(13:27):
He is cooperating with police. A computer game developer from
Culver City who has admitted operating a drone that crashed
into a Super Scooper fighting the Palisades fires, expected to
be sends today. Peter Aikman has agreed to pay full
restitution to the government of Quebec, which supplied the plane,
and an aircraft repair company that fixed it. President Trump
(13:50):
will soon be heading to the UK for his second
state visit to England. He and First Lading Millennia will
be greeted tomorrow by Prince William and Catherine before being
received by King Charles and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle.
That's where they're going to be staying. At six oh five.
It is Handle on the News with special guest host
Nil Savedra Uh Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, is
(14:13):
in Israel Uh to talk with the Prime Minister Natanyahu
about what they're going to do about the mess that
this has become. Let's say good morning now too. We're
not going to say good morning to ABC's Mike Dubuski.
Why he's not there? Okay, Well that's that is UH
(14:34):
talk about him, right, because he's supposed to give us
all the lowdown on everything that happened at the Red
Carpet Heather.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Heather Brooker looked wonderful. Did you see her dress?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I did not see her.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
She was amazing, very cool.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Yeah she Uh, we have a couple of features from her.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Oh good.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I'm sending a note. Where is Mike. You know what
it probably is is because he he's talking Emmy's and
he's talking with different people all over the country, and
everybody wants to talk about it. I want to talk
about it. I was very excited about Noah Whiley because
the Pit was a show that I knew was on,
(15:13):
but I wasn't watching it, and I wasn't that interested.
It just wasn't I didn't kind of I don't know.
It just didn't suck me in. And then I did
watch it, and I thought it was fantastic.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Is it his same character from Er? No? No, no, it's.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Not doctor John Carter? Okay, and boyd does he look different?
I mean he just you know, he didn't look like
a kid anymore. But I just think that he was fantastic.
And uh, let's let's, in fact, have Mike Dubuski come
and join us and talk about Noah Whiley because that's
what we were talking about while we were waiting for you.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Mike.
Speaker 9 (15:47):
Oh well, yes, Noah. Whiley was kind of one of
the big upsets of last night, kind of squaring off
with you, I wasn't upset Everance me and either I
really liked o' wiley and I really like The Pit,
which is the star that he the show that he
stars in, also is the executive producer on. And that
really was one of the big races of the night,
the Best Actor in a drama category him squaring off
(16:09):
against Adam Scott from Severance, which of course is the
big Apple TV plus sort of sci fi thriller show.
The Pit really did prevail in kind of the big
categories that people were watching. We talked about the Noah
widely win, but also they won the big prize of
the night, which was Outstanding Drama Series over Severance. Ultimately,
this was not a total loss for Severance, so they
(16:32):
did end up collecting more Emmys in general than The
Pit did, eight to five for the Pit. But even
still like this, the night really ended. The broadcast ended
on a real high for the team at The Pit again,
an HBO series that follows a crew of emergency room
doctors over the course of one shift in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yeah, and I just like we were just talking about.
I didn't get on board early with it, but once
I sat down and watched it, Like if I put
those two shows next to each other, I liked him
for different reasons. But the pit wins hands down in
my humble opinion.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I'm right there with you, Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
So then moving over to comedy, how'd comedy do comedy?
Speaker 9 (17:12):
It was all about the studio. This was a different
Apple TV Plus show. If they maybe left the night
feeling a little disappointed in how Severan's performed, they can
take some solace in Seth Rogan's new satire of Hollywood.
This is a star studded affair. It featured the likes
of you know, Zoe Kravitz and Dave Franco and Martin
Scorsese even in several episodes, but it's helmed by Seth
(17:34):
Rogan himself, alongside Ike Baron Holtz and you know several
other kind of major up and coming stars like Chase
Suey Wonders. This is a show that really did resonate
with Hollywood. They collected thirteen Emmys in total, that including
for Best Comedy, Best Director for Seth Rogan, and Best
Acting for Seth Rogan. That makes it the most Emmy
(17:57):
winning series for freshman comedy at Comedy It's only aired
one season. In addition to that, they are the most
awarded comedy in a single year, and Seth Rogan himself
tied the record for the most Emmys won by a
single person in a single night. So really big night
for the studio, which, of course is itself a little
(18:18):
bit of a satire, a little bit of a send
up to Hollywood itself, so it makes sense they found
some kinship I think with some of the PLOTL like
on that show.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Any big surprises last night, I mean you mentioned upsets,
but I mean anything that was shocking, surprising, anything like that.
Speaker 9 (18:37):
You know, maybe not so shocking, but certainly nice to
see Kristin Miliatti collecting an Emmy for her role in
The Penguin that of course a limited series set in
the Batman universe. But she was really, really excellent in
that show, and she gave in my opinion, the best
speech of the night.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
She kind of was just.
Speaker 9 (18:53):
Very appreciative of, you know, the the award, for being
recognized for the award. This is her first nomination and
her first win, and she ended it by just saying
I love acting so much, which was just a really
nice moment. So good to see her, you know, take
a win home. There also some interesting tributes over the
course of the night is twenty five years of Gilmour Girls.
(19:13):
We got to see Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel come
out and present some awards, you know, it kind of
as a tribute to that show. In addition to that,
the Law and Order Crew, the long running Law and
Order SVU crew, came out at the very end of
the show to present Best Drama. So it was good
to see those folks as well. And some wins for Hacks,
which is a show that I really like, Hannah Einbinder
(19:36):
and Gene Smart. That show has been running now for
four seasons. They just recently announced that the fifth season
is going to be their last. They pulled out acting
wins for Hannah Einbinder as a supporting actress and Gene
Smart for lead actress. That again was kind of prevented
the studio from just going full sweep on the comedy categories,
(19:56):
and well deserve it. Those two are really funny in
that show.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yeah, I think the only really controversial thing that I
picked up was Missbinders. Yeah, dropping the F bomb.
Speaker 9 (20:08):
Yes, they did silence her. She edited her speech by
saying go Bird's a reference to her Philadelphia heritage.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
You know.
Speaker 9 (20:16):
She did call out immigration and customs enforcement and said
free Palestine. So, you know, this is something that we've
come to expect from Awards shows.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
This is nothing new.
Speaker 9 (20:24):
Necessarily, certain actors and certain figures in Hollywood like to
use this platform to spread a message, and that was
what Anna Einbinder chose to do.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
But other than that, it wasn't There wasn't a lot
of politics in this one.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Was there?
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Not?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Really no?
Speaker 9 (20:37):
And that, you know, was kind of interesting to see.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
It was also a.
Speaker 9 (20:39):
Really efficient affair. We were out of here by you know,
eleven o three on the East coast, So this was
like pretty tight three hour show, okay.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
And was that because of Nate Bargatsky's challenge.
Speaker 9 (20:50):
Yeah, so this was I would say certainly not political.
But one of the more controversial aspects of the evening
was Nate Bargatzi, the host. This is his first time
hosting the Emmys. He is a stand up comedian of
some renown. He's got several stand up specials out there.
He's hosted SNL several times, and his running bit throughout
the evening was to basically announce at the beginning of
the show that he was going to donate one hundred
(21:12):
hundred thousand dollars to the Boys and Girls Club of America,
and for every second that someone went over there allotted
time in their acceptance speech, he would deduct a thousand dollars,
so sort of a running clock if you went over.
And by the end of the night that number was
at negative fifty thousand dollars, So it was kind of
maybe funny as like a one off bit, but they
(21:34):
kept going back to it throughout the night. Seems like
a lot of the reaction, at least on social media
to this morning, is that it was kind of in
bad taste. It's like, why are we taking donations away
from this very worthy cause, you know, just because people
are going over. In addition to that, Nate Bargatsy did
come out at the very end and announced that CBS
and himself would be donating three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars to the Boys and Girls Club of America, So
(21:56):
maybe to be expected, maybe that's what they were planning
the whole time. But like even still don't think it
really played well in the room, certainly not playing well
the morning after all.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Right, ABC's Mike Debuski thanks so much for the wrap up,
of course, take care all right. A new housing bill
in California could reshape neighborhoods across the state.
Speaker 10 (22:13):
Lawmakers have approved Senate Bill seventy nine, allowing nine story
apartments within a half mile of transit stops, even in
single family neighborhoods. Supporters say it tackles the housing shortage
and promotes transit use, while critics argue it overrides local control.
The bill now goes to Governor Newsom Brigidia de Gastino.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
KFI News Kla County Sheriff's Department says wants the public's
help to find the killer of a forty year old
woman who was shot to death in Linnwood last year.
Irene Gonzalez was killed one year ago. Today, Sheriff's officials
confirmed she was shot by a mail driver while getting
out of a black Toyota Corolla. The La County Board
of Supervisors is offering a twenty thousand dollars reward for
(22:50):
information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the Killer.
Dodgers star Sho hey O Tani and his agent are
hitting back at a lawsuit over a real estate development
in Hawaii.
Speaker 11 (23:00):
On Sunday, Otani and his agent, Nez Blello, filed a
motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed against them last month.
The initial lawsuit claims they caused the Hawaii real estate
investor and broker to be fired from a two hundred
and forty million dollar luxury housing development on the Big
Island Sapula Coast. The countersuit claims the real estate investor
and broker violated a deal to use Otani's name, image,
(23:21):
and likeness to help sell properties at the development, and
also argues Otani's name and photograph were exploited to the
benefit of the plaintiff's side project development. Daniel Martindale KFI News.

Robert Dunn has become the chief of the Torrance Police
Department after serving as interim chiefs since July twenty eighth.
Before Torrance, Dunn was the chief of the Fullerton Police Department.
He started his law enforcement career nineteen ninety three with
the Anheim PD. The City of Long Beach has canceled
this year's Dia de las Morts parade over immigration raid concerns.
(23:55):
The yearly event was set for November, but the city
said the cancelation was a result of concerns related to
activities in the region being conducted by federal law enforcement.
Funds for this year's parraide are going to be applied
to next year's parade. The FBI is up the reward
for information of a man accused of pointing a gun
and possibly firing at law enforcement officers during an immigration raid.
(24:17):
The reward has doubled to one hundred thousand dollars for
the suspect of the July raid at a cannabis farm
in Camarillo near Glasshouse Farms. UCLA has fired it's head
football coach after an zero to three start to the
season that included two blowout losses at home. Former All
American running back to Sean Foster was named head coach
prior to last season. He went five to ten last
(24:40):
season in the bruins first season in the Big Ten.
His final loss as head coach came on Friday thirty
five to ten to New Mexico, which was the underdog
heading into the game. It's six oh five, its handle
on the news and it's not handled today. He's on vacation.
They're on a cruise. Now. I got a text from
(25:01):
his wife who said she was scared to death because
of she watched poop cruise before they went on their crews.
It was like, probably not the best decision. And then
I just said, use a lot of hand a sanitizer,
lots of hand sanitizer. Here's what's coming out of the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The political assassination of conservative
activist Charlie Kirk has lawmakers on both sides of the
(25:24):
aisle worried that they could become targets. ABC Selena Wang
says some of them have even canceled their own scheduled
outdoor events.
Speaker 11 (25:32):
And now you have the Trump administration asking for an
additional fifty eight million dollars to protect and boost security
for members of the executive and judicial branches.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
She says the administration is also putting on a or
putting in a formal request for increased security for lawmakers.
President Trump is suggesting that a deal may have been
reached over the future of TikTok as he announces that
he's going to have a call with China's president Hijinping.
There's been no common information of that from China. President
(26:02):
Trump not ruling out potential strikes on mainland Venezuela because
of rising tensions over drug trafficking. Abc'son Cold Antonio says
Venezuela has accused the US of illegally boarding one of
its tuna boats.
Speaker 12 (26:15):
They armed US personnel held nine fishermen for hours back
on Friday.

to see if it was carrying drugs, but did not
find any.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
The US says this happened in international waters. California lawmakers
have voted to extend a key climate program. The Cap
and Trade measure has gone to Governor Newsom's desk for
his signature. It sets a declining limit on total planet
warming emissions by major polluters. Democrat state is simply remember.
Jackie Irwin says it's a net positive for California.
Speaker 14 (26:49):
California's Cap and Trade program has been successful at cost
effectively reducing greenhouse gas emissions and charts a clear course
forward while providing a roadmap for other states and countries
to follow.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
The program was initially set to expire in twenty thirty,
but it's now authorized, or will be if the governor
signs it through twenty forty five. Time to get in
your business. And this morning we're going to be talking
with John Tucker. Courtney's taken the day off, so good morning, John.
Speaker 15 (27:20):
She sounds like Kathleen Turner when I talked to her.
She's got lair and shikas. So all right, you got
to scrape the bottom of the barrel this morning areas.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Oh no, it's not the bottom of the barrel, John, Okay,
So let's talk business. In a move that might keep
a lid on stock futures, China's regulator says our chip maker,
in Video was found in violation of some anti trust regulations.
Speaker 15 (27:46):
And this matters for the market because remember, in Vidia
is the world's biggest company, at least by market capitalization.
The Chinese have yet to say what remedies they're speaking,
but right now in Vidia shares we are lower even
the pre market trading. The big event this week is
going to be the FED meeting. Yeah, the traders preparing
(28:06):
for what's widely expected to be the first through the
series of the interest rate cuts. This week, the Wall
Street almost fully pricing reductions at each of the next
three meetings for the Federal Reserve. They're betting the Fed's
going to lean towards supporting a softening job market in
the US even as inflation remains above their target. Remember,
they have the dual mandate, so they have to focus
(28:28):
on keeping the country fully employed at the same time
they have to, according to their mandate, keep prices stable. Well,
sometimes one works against the other. So it's a really
delicate balancing act that you have to do at the
Federal Reserve. And it doesn't help that the President of
the United States basically wants to control their mandate.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
And you know, and he's been pushing for a really
long time for months now to get the Fed to
drop the interest rates, and now it looks like maybe
the conditions are finally favorable.
Speaker 15 (29:01):
Donald Trump says Wednesday, we're going to get a big cut.
He's going to be disappointed. It's not going to be
It's going to be a cut, but not a big cut.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
It's going to be like a quarter point.
Speaker 15 (29:10):
A quarter point okay.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Right, all right?
Speaker 15 (29:13):
Will you know, so are you securing your job? Will
artificial intelligence take your job? According to a new no
wait to sack, wait till I finish. According to a
new report from Anthropic Maybe, they say businesses are overwhelmingly
relying on artificial intelligence software to automate rather than collaborate
(29:37):
on work. The technology, of course, is spark concerns about
potential mass layoffs and worker displacement. But buck up because
one of the safest jobs that was listed radio hosts.
Believe it or not, Yeah, sood cues for us. We actually,
we actually tried this a few years ago to automate
(29:58):
the temperature. I don't know if it was necessarily artificial
intelligence or at least you know, our early version of it,
and it would work out. You'd hear it on the air.
It's eighty three and snowing in midtown. So that was
our attempted you know, artificial intelligence.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
All right, Okay, So I just mentioned this because it
just flashed on AP that Trump is suggesting that there
may be a deal between the US and TikTok.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (30:28):
Of course, you know who doesn't use TikTok? I mean,
I don't put.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Many kids, absolutely absolutely bit kids do.
Speaker 15 (30:35):
So Chinese representatives along with the US, they're discussing TikTok trade.
I letna say TikTok, trade and the economy during the
high level talks that are taking taking place in Madrid today.
Included in the agenda national security issues and the status
of TikTok, which is of course is owned by the
Chinese company bike Tans. They face a deadline this week
(30:57):
to reach a deal to continue their operation in the US.
If I were a betman, I'd say that the President
is just going to extend the deadline for another who knows,
a few months or whatever, all right.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
And we will know soon what that decision is getting
in your business with Bloomberg's John Tucker today in for Courtney.
Thanks so much, John, A pleasure, Amy, thank you, all right,
we'll talk soon. Vigils to remember conservative activist Charlie Kirk
continue to be held around the country, including one yesterday
in a park in Beverly Hills. Hundreds turned out to
remember the assassinated founder of Turning Point USA. Another vigil
(31:33):
was held in Santa Clarita on Saturday. People waved American
flags and turned out. In Huntington Beach. Police are investigating
the shooting death of a man in the Fashion district.
The LAPD says a man reported his brother had been shot.
Around five yesterday morning near eleventh and Los Angeles Streets.
Six people wearing dark clothes were seen driving off. No
(31:54):
further description was given. Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaba. The
movie Infinity Castle not even sure I've said that right
has had the biggest opening ever for an anime movie
in the US. It earned seventy million dollars at the
box office over the weekend. The Conjuring Last Rites finished
second in its second weekend with twenty six million dollars,
(32:17):
and Downton Abbey the Grand Finale finished in third with
eighteen million dollars. Second Morning. To ABC's Stephen portnoy So, Stephen,
President Trump has backed off plans to send the National
Guard into Chicago. What happened there and where's he going instead?
Speaker 16 (32:36):
Well, he said on Friday, excuse me, Amy, Good morning,
Happy Monday. He said on Friday that he's going to
send the National Guard into Memphis, Tennessee, a city that
historically has very high violent crime rate, one of the
highest of not the highest, in the country. Now, the
local officials there, who are Democrats, say it's not necessary.
(32:56):
We've heard that from other local officials in the country.
Particularly Icago, where there is in the state of Illinois
democratic governor JB.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Pritzker.
Speaker 13 (33:05):
Tennessee has a Republican governor, and that's a key difference,
not just politically, but also perhaps important legally, because one
of the issues is whether the governor is going to
invite in or call for the federalization of the National Guard.
And in the case of Southern California, when back in
the spring, I guess it was in June Governor Knewsoon
(33:28):
objected to the president's federalization, one of the arguments the
White House was making and the President was making, was
that there were violent protests in and around the actions
of Ice the enforcement of federal immigration law. We don't
have that dynamic currently in Chicago, nor do we have
it in Memphis, Tennessee. But because there's not, it seems
(33:49):
on its face an apparent need for the protection of
federal law enforcement in Chicago as they're conducting particular operations
like we saw to a certain extent in Southern California
when there were violent protests. The idea is that perhaps
legally it's a bit more of a reach to justify
(34:09):
the federalization of the troops in Chicago Illinois right now,
if the governor of Tennessee, Bill Lee, is going to say, please,
mister President, we've got this problem we can't solve.
Speaker 11 (34:19):
On our own.
Speaker 13 (34:19):
We need your help, which appears to be publicly the dynamic.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
We'll see if it all plays out.
Speaker 13 (34:26):
So far, all we have is the President saying on
Friday that he's going to do it.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
We've not seen anything.
Speaker 13 (34:31):
In writing to back up what is seemingly about to
happen in Memphis, and no indication this morning that it's
actually underway.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Okay, So then backing up to Chicago so that the
ice operations that they've been doing for the last week
or two, those are going to continue. They're just he's
backing off the National Guard part and then instead shifting
that to Memphis. If I'm understanding it.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Right, well, I think so. I mean, look, it's best
viewed on separate track.
Speaker 13 (35:00):
But because each circumstance is different, the President in recent
weeks has been asked, you know, why would you send
federal troops only to the areas.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Controlled or governed by Democrats.
Speaker 13 (35:11):
Why not do it in cities that have high rates
of crime that happened to be in states controlled by Republicans. Initially,
the President blanched and suggested that perhaps, you know, no
one really fully but him understands how bad things are
in Chicago, and never you mind all that. Now he
seems to be coming around to say, here's an example
(35:33):
where the governor is inviting in the presence.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Of the National Guard.
Speaker 13 (35:37):
In the case of the city of Memphis, the mayor says,
we don't need it. He also points to statistics indicating
that perhaps violent crime is improving in Memphis. The President
over the weekend, maybe even overnight, indicated that to the
extent that.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
That's true, it's because he has stepped up.
Speaker 13 (35:56):
Federal you know, law enforcement, immigration enforcement, law enforcement in
the city of Memphis over the past five months or so.
So look, you know, I think the President is intent
on doing something to demonstrate that he can and perhaps
because he wants to have an impact. So we'll see
what plays out. So far, all we have three days
(36:16):
ago is the President saying he's going to do it,
and we're waiting to see if he's actually going to
do it. There's no doubt that he will, so he
hasn't seemed to have done it yet.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Okay, and then just one quick question for you then
in DC, where the National Guard has been deployed, that
thirty days came and went, didn't it?
Speaker 13 (36:36):
It has, And overnight the President tweeted that he may
have to he feels declare another crime emergency here in
the city because he's getting the indication from the Mayor
of Washington d C. Muriel Bowser, who has been cooperative
right with the federal surge, that perhaps going forward, the
DC police won't be as cooperative with ice.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Comes to sharing information or other things.
Speaker 13 (37:02):
The details on that are scant, and it's certainly interesting
the idea that the President would feel as though he
needs to assert himself based on the suspicion that perhaps
going forward there may not be the kind of cooperation which,
by the way, A. Muriel Bowser had indicated in writing
that there would be. So obviously there needs to be
some clarification here as to exactly what's going on, and
(37:25):
if there's going to be another federal emergency, what would
the rationale for that be. You know, the President says that,
you know, he's getting indications of perhaps Muriel Bowser's not
willing to cooperate the way that she had indicated that
she would, or that she had, but again, a lot
of that seems to be based on a sense rather
than anything hard and fast as far as we can
tell for the moment.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
All right, well, we will be watching ABC. Stephen Portnoy,
thanks for the explanation as always, and we'll talk to
you soon.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
You bet.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
All right, Let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room.
California lawmakers have passed a bill to secure access to
vaccines and protect this dates vaccine regulations from federal interference.
Infectious disease expert at the University of California, San Francisco,
doctor Peter chin Hank, says it allows the California Department
of Public's Health to have flexibility.
Speaker 17 (38:13):
In terms of promoting what science says should be done,
as well as protect clinicians with any liability that may
come up as a result of using vaccines.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
He says. Lawmakers in the medical community hope that Governor
Newsom will sign the bill. The federal trial against Ryan
Ruth for allegedly trying to kill then presidential candidate Donald
Trump in Florida before the twenty twenty four election is
said to continue today. His daughter Sarah says, while she
has hope for her father to come home, she feels
he's being treated unfairly as he represents himself in courts.
Speaker 9 (38:48):
They shut down every time he tries to say anything,
and maybe he's not saying it right, but he's trying
to say what He's trying to get his point ross,
but he can't get that far.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
She says. It's very frustrating for the family. Shares of
the tech company Oral cul Oracle have jumped thirty percent

medical drama The Pit has beaten top nominee Severance at
the seventy seventh Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. It took home
(39:38):
Best Drama Series. Apple TV Plus's The Studio had a
record setting night as it won for Best Comedy Series.
The Pit also took the prize for Outstanding Lead Actor.
That was Noah Wiley. Netflix's Adolescence swept nearly all of
the prizes in the limited series categories. During last night's ceremony,
it was TV's biggest night in The red carpet was
(40:00):
buzzing with stars and some serious conversations about the future
of the entertainment industry.
Speaker 11 (40:05):
Gratified by the recognition that our freshman show has received
and the impact that's having.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Around the world.
Speaker 5 (40:09):
That's Noah Wiley from the pit, talking about the surprise
success of his HBO show. He would later go on
to win his first Emmy Award for his role playing
a doctor in Of All Places and Er And. While
the night was full of celebrations, the tone was also
serious at times, with the weight of all the challenges
in the industry. Newly elected sag after President Shawn Aston
says he's focused on keeping productions here in California.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
Do you feel like.
Speaker 5 (40:31):
Hollywood is still the center of all things entertainment?
Speaker 18 (40:34):
Governor Nwsom passed a seven hundred and fifty million dollar
Taxi center. That is a massive mic drop of an
invitation for our shows to stay here and for other
shows to come back.

To doing what I do, and also hoping that people
will continue to want things made by humans.
Speaker 5 (41:04):
Still, the mood was upbeat, with sequins, selfies and plenty
of hardware to take home, and for some, like comedian
Leanne Morgan, dreams coming true.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
I feel like I'm only off the world.
Speaker 11 (41:13):
And I dreamed about this since I was a little girl.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Heather Brooker KFI News dreamed about this since I was
a little girl. I love Leanne Morgan, She's And then
it was interesting too that Heather was talking to Sean
Aston because he's the new president of SAG and he
remember he was in Stranger Things, yeah, a few seasons ago,
and I was just watching that again and saw him
got ripped apart by the Dormagoggins or whatever they were, yeah,
(41:38):
And I was like, well, he's the new president of SAG. Cool, huh,

Driving in today, I had the window down because it.
Speaker 2 (01:19):

Speaker 1 (01:20):
It was nice refreshing. Something flew into my vehicle while
I was going down the freeway. I didn't find it,
but I was like, oh my god, what was that?
Like you you just failed it like hit me. And
then I was like, man, if it's like one of
those big June bugs or something, I'm just gonna out.
I know. I never did find it. I got to
(01:41):
work and I just went, okay, so that if something
starts crawling on your leg, just calm down and just
you know, because you're going seventy plus miles per hour,
you're going to say eighty. I was all right, here's
what's ahead on wake up call. The memorial service for
Charlie Kirk has been set for this Sunday in Glendale, Arizona.
It'll happen at State Farms Stadium, the home of the
(02:04):
NFL's Cardinals. President Trump's expected to attend. Police are searching
for the person who stabbed a woman during a brawl

involved in the fight yesterday around three am on Santa
Monica Boulevard. The woman was taken to the hospital in
critical condition. The studio has won Best Comedy at last
night's seventy seven Emmy Awards. The Pit grabbed Best Drama.
(02:26):
I loved that show. Both shows lead actors picked up
the Best Actor awards, so Seth Rogan for The Studio
and Noah Wiley for The Pit. It was Wiley's first
Emmy win. He'd been nominated like five times for Er
but didn't win. Gene Smart took home the Emmy for Hacks,
and Britt Lauer got Best Actress in a Drama for Severance.
Mike Dubuski is going to join us at five twenty
(02:48):
for a complete wrap up of the glitz and the
glamour and the hits and the missus from last night's
Emmy's at the Peacock Theater in downtown LA. President Trump
has his site set on fighting back on crime in Tennessee,
where the National Guard is headed. Next ABC, Stephen Portinoy's
going to tell us more about that. That's coming up
for the top of the hour, and Neil and I
are going over the edge to help people find their
(03:10):
way home. We're going to be repelling off a twenty
five story building and you can do it with us
too if you want. Are you brave enough? I'll be
telling you more about that coming up on Wake Up Call.
Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man in
custody in connection with the killing of Charlie Kirk is
expected to make his first court appearance tomorrow. Utah Governor
(03:32):
Spencer Cox says Tyler Robinson has not been cooperating.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
We're collecting much more, including forensic evidence that is coming
back from Quantico that will help us tie the shooter
to the weapon and everything else.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Robinson was taken into custody late last week after the
shooting at a Utah College campus. Legal experts say people
may want to think twice before making comments on social media.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
In the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk's fatal shooting,
several workers have fired over their comments online, including MSNBC
analyst Matthew Dowd. Experts note that while laws vary overall,
there's very little legal protection for employees who are punished
or speech made both in and out of private workplaces,
especially as social media makes monitoring easier than ever other
(04:18):
Brooker CAFI News we're.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Going to be talking to kfi's national correspondent Rory O'Neill
more about what's going on with people losing their jobs
for comments they're making on social media. Coming up in
just a second. News brought to you by Semper Solaris.
Officials in Long Beach have canceled this year's annual Dia
de las Mortes parade because of worries about possible federal
(04:39):
illegal immigration rates. City spokesman Jen de Prez says officials
are not aware of federal enforcement activity that targets the parade,
but they've decided to cancel it at the request of
Councilwoman Mary Zendejas. The parade was expected to be held
in early November. UCLA has fired its head football coach
(05:00):
Sean Foster. It comes after the bruins oho and three
start to the season. The Bruins assistant coach Tim Skipper
will serve as the interim head coach while the college
looks for a replacement for Foster. Let's say good morning
now to kfi's national correspondent Rory O'Neill. So, Rory, it's
been five days since Charlie Kirk was assassinated. The person
who police believed it is in custody. What's the latest, Well.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Right, and we're seeing this fallout as you mentioned earlier,
about the companies are trying to deal with employees who
are posting some ugly things online. And I should note,
in addition to companies, even state local government's school districts
are also dealing with this, as some teachers have been
posting some pretty controversial stuff. And while people may say, hey,
what about free speech, well, yeah, that's from the government.
(05:47):
You know, if you're posting some of this ugly stuff
online and you identify as a worker for some company, work,
that company rather can fire you for posting a lot
of this stuff because essentially they don't want to get
dragged into this. And we've seen this impact companies like
Microsoft and Nasdaq and office Depot, even the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
And so people are just making hateful, mean comments or
celebration comments about Charlie Kirk's assassination, and the employers are
saying camp pretty much.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
We saw that video going viral of some workers at
an office depot I think in Michigan refusing to print
the posters saying that there was going to be a
Charlie Kirk visual. They said it was hate speech or
something and refuse to print the posters. You know, those
managers got fired for that, but we've also heard reports
of school teachers showing the graphic video or telling their
(06:39):
kids in the classroom that Charlie Kirk was anti trans
and anti black and all these things at a very
sensitive time.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Okay, okay, guys, National correspondent to Rory O'Neil, Thank you
so much.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Thanks Amy.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
All right, Yeah, it's an interesting it's been an interesting
thing to see the people coming out just with the hate.
I just don't think you should hate that anybody got assassinated.
I don't care what side you're on. That's my personal
opinion on that. Let's get back to some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
(07:17):
Another top official in the Biden administration has come forward
saying the former president should not have run for reelection.
Former Transportation Secretary Peter boodhaj Edge said it said it
on NBC's Meet the Press and added that Biden should
have made the decision sooner. Boodhaj Edge insisted he was
never part of the process of deciding whether Biden should
(07:40):
run again. The Trump administration plans to authorize National Guard
troops to enter Tennessee's second largest city, but the mayor
of Memphis, Paul Jung is pushing back on President Trump's
assertion that there is concern over crime in his city.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
I'd not support the National Guard. However, they are come,
not the mayor's call. The mayor doesn't have a say
or the authority to stop them from come.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Young says he will work for what's best for Memphis.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has arrived in Israel to
show US support for its closest ally in the Middle East.
Rubio and President Trump met with Quitar's Prime minister on
Friday to talk about the situation in Gaza. As pressure
mounts globally for Israel to stop its attacks, as the
(08:27):
Palestinian death tool rises, a new report finds dozens of
cases of people having brain injuries because of alleged exposure
to fumes on planes. In response, Airbus says its aircraft
are designed and manufactured according to all relevant and applicable
air worthiness requirements. Association of Flight Attendant's president Sarah Nelson
(08:48):
says the union has been concerned about this for decades,
and we've been concerned about it because of the very
real life consequences that crew members have faced because of
contaminated bleed air. She says manufacturers need to make planes
that either have filters or create a system where bleed
air isn't being used as the means of recirculated air
(09:09):
in the cabin. The owner of Rolling Stone, Billboard and
Variety assuming Google, Penske Media, has filed the lawsuit alleging
the tech giant's AI summaries use its journalism without consent
and reduce traffic to its websites. The suit says Google
only includes publishers' websites in its search results if it
can also use their articles as AI summaries. New research
(09:33):
shows people risk driving under the influence because of confusing
drink packaging. The study by the newly launched junk price
comparison service called wheels Away shows only fifty seven percent
of drivers know that drinks like Twisted Tea and white
Claw have alcohol in them. The research shows, with just
the design on each product to go buy, a lot
(09:56):
of people confuse drinks that have alcohol for energy drinks, juice,
or even flavored water. A sitcomps that in post eaten fire,
Alta Dina is getting some backlash less than a year
after the fire's tour through the City.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
The proposed show follows two estranged brothers forced to live
together after their late grandmother's house becomes entangled with the caretaker.
Many local residents and fire survivors criticize the project as insensitive,
saying it trivializes recent trauma. Some social media users say
the show was greenlit too soon and lacks community involvement.
A few locals hope the show will include Altadena consultants
(10:32):
and support the community through proceeds. Tammy Trihello, KFI News.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
So we're less than two weeks away now from when
Neil Savador and I are going to go over the Edge.
We're working with the Union Rescue Mission and this is
their big fundraiser of the year. It's called Over the Edge.
And what we do is we are raising money for
Union Rescue Mission and we're going to repel with your help,
(11:00):
your financial donation, We're going to repel twenty five stories
off the edge of the Hilton Los Angeles Universal City Hotel.
You know, it's that big, cool black building that you'd
drive by on the one oh one, And we went
out and did a site a site evaluation on Friday.
(11:22):
Twenty five stories is a really long way down but
it's for a really good cause. And you know that
we've talked about homelessness. It's very frustrating. I just saw
like new people and new tents in my little neighborhood
this morning as I was on my way into work,
and we just keep throwing money at it, but are
we really helping the situation? Well, Union Rescue Mission actually helps.
(11:43):
Their theme is find your Way Home, and the whole
point is that it's actually to get people who want
help to get back on their feet again. They have
a whole thing where they do transitional housing, they have
rehab programs, they do job training and all kinds of
really thing great things to actually help the people who
(12:04):
want to get help. And that's why I support Union
Rescue Mission. I know Neil does, and we hope that
you will support us as we take our journey over
the edge. So all you have to do it's super easy,
and I know that there's a lot of people asking
for your money, So anything you can do, we appreciate it,

it's one thousand dollars, you can go over the edge
with us. So a thousand dollars donation, whether you raise

Will better than me?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
How come? Utah Governor Spencer Cox says investigators are not
yet ready to discuss a motive in the assassination of
conservative activist Charlie Kirk. He says a twenty two year
old who was arrested for it is not being cooperative.
Cox confirmed that the man was in a relationship with
his roommate, who is a male transitioning to become a female.
(13:27):
He is cooperating with police. A computer game developer from
Culver City who has admitted operating a drone that crashed
into a Super Scooper fighting the Palisades fires, expected to
be sends today. Peter Aikman has agreed to pay full
restitution to the government of Quebec, which supplied the plane,
and an aircraft repair company that fixed it. President Trump
(13:50):
will soon be heading to the UK for his second
state visit to England. He and First Lading Millennia will
be greeted tomorrow by Prince William and Catherine before being
received by King Charles and Queen Camilla at Windsor Castle.
That's where they're going to be staying. At six oh five.
It is Handle on the News with special guest host
Nil Savedra Uh Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, is
(14:13):
in Israel Uh to talk with the Prime Minister Natanyahu
about what they're going to do about the mess that
this has become. Let's say good morning now too. We're
not going to say good morning to ABC's Mike Dubuski.
Why he's not there? Okay, Well that's that is UH
(14:34):
talk about him, right, because he's supposed to give us
all the lowdown on everything that happened at the Red
Carpet Heather.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Heather Brooker looked wonderful. Did you see her dress?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I did not see her.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
She was amazing, very cool.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Yeah she Uh, we have a couple of features from her.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Oh good.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I'm sending a note. Where is Mike. You know what
it probably is is because he he's talking Emmy's and
he's talking with different people all over the country, and
everybody wants to talk about it. I want to talk
about it. I was very excited about Noah Whiley because
the Pit was a show that I knew was on,
(15:13):
but I wasn't watching it, and I wasn't that interested.
It just wasn't I didn't kind of I don't know.
It just didn't suck me in. And then I did
watch it, and I thought it was fantastic.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Is it his same character from Er? No? No, no, it's.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Not doctor John Carter? Okay, and boyd does he look different?
I mean he just you know, he didn't look like
a kid anymore. But I just think that he was fantastic.
And uh, let's let's, in fact, have Mike Dubuski come
and join us and talk about Noah Whiley because that's
what we were talking about while we were waiting for you.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Mike.
Speaker 9 (15:47):
Oh well, yes, Noah. Whiley was kind of one of
the big upsets of last night, kind of squaring off
with you, I wasn't upset Everance me and either I
really liked o' wiley and I really like The Pit,
which is the star that he the show that he
stars in, also is the executive producer on. And that
really was one of the big races of the night,
the Best Actor in a drama category him squaring off
(16:09):
against Adam Scott from Severance, which of course is the
big Apple TV plus sort of sci fi thriller show.
The Pit really did prevail in kind of the big
categories that people were watching. We talked about the Noah
widely win, but also they won the big prize of
the night, which was Outstanding Drama Series over Severance. Ultimately,
this was not a total loss for Severance, so they
(16:32):
did end up collecting more Emmys in general than The
Pit did, eight to five for the Pit. But even
still like this, the night really ended. The broadcast ended
on a real high for the team at The Pit again,
an HBO series that follows a crew of emergency room
doctors over the course of one shift in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Yeah, and I just like we were just talking about.
I didn't get on board early with it, but once
I sat down and watched it, Like if I put
those two shows next to each other, I liked him
for different reasons. But the pit wins hands down in
my humble opinion.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
I'm right there with you, Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
So then moving over to comedy, how'd comedy do comedy?
Speaker 9 (17:12):
It was all about the studio. This was a different
Apple TV Plus show. If they maybe left the night
feeling a little disappointed in how Severan's performed, they can
take some solace in Seth Rogan's new satire of Hollywood.
This is a star studded affair. It featured the likes
of you know, Zoe Kravitz and Dave Franco and Martin
Scorsese even in several episodes, but it's helmed by Seth
(17:34):
Rogan himself, alongside Ike Baron Holtz and you know several
other kind of major up and coming stars like Chase
Suey Wonders. This is a show that really did resonate
with Hollywood. They collected thirteen Emmys in total, that including
for Best Comedy, Best Director for Seth Rogan, and Best
Acting for Seth Rogan. That makes it the most Emmy
(17:57):
winning series for freshman comedy at Comedy It's only aired
one season. In addition to that, they are the most
awarded comedy in a single year, and Seth Rogan himself
tied the record for the most Emmys won by a
single person in a single night. So really big night
for the studio, which, of course is itself a little
(18:18):
bit of a satire, a little bit of a send
up to Hollywood itself, so it makes sense they found
some kinship I think with some of the PLOTL like
on that show.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Any big surprises last night, I mean you mentioned upsets,
but I mean anything that was shocking, surprising, anything like that.
Speaker 9 (18:37):
You know, maybe not so shocking, but certainly nice to
see Kristin Miliatti collecting an Emmy for her role in
The Penguin that of course a limited series set in
the Batman universe. But she was really, really excellent in
that show, and she gave in my opinion, the best
speech of the night.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
She kind of was just.
Speaker 9 (18:53):
Very appreciative of, you know, the the award, for being
recognized for the award. This is her first nomination and
her first win, and she ended it by just saying
I love acting so much, which was just a really
nice moment. So good to see her, you know, take
a win home. There also some interesting tributes over the
course of the night is twenty five years of Gilmour Girls.
(19:13):
We got to see Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel come
out and present some awards, you know, it kind of
as a tribute to that show. In addition to that,
the Law and Order Crew, the long running Law and
Order SVU crew, came out at the very end of
the show to present Best Drama. So it was good
to see those folks as well. And some wins for Hacks,
which is a show that I really like, Hannah Einbinder
(19:36):
and Gene Smart. That show has been running now for
four seasons. They just recently announced that the fifth season
is going to be their last. They pulled out acting
wins for Hannah Einbinder as a supporting actress and Gene
Smart for lead actress. That again was kind of prevented
the studio from just going full sweep on the comedy categories,
(19:56):
and well deserve it. Those two are really funny in
that show.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yeah, I think the only really controversial thing that I
picked up was Missbinders. Yeah, dropping the F bomb.
Speaker 9 (20:08):
Yes, they did silence her. She edited her speech by
saying go Bird's a reference to her Philadelphia heritage.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
You know.
Speaker 9 (20:16):
She did call out immigration and customs enforcement and said
free Palestine. So, you know, this is something that we've
come to expect from Awards shows.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
This is nothing new.
Speaker 9 (20:24):
Necessarily, certain actors and certain figures in Hollywood like to
use this platform to spread a message, and that was
what Anna Einbinder chose to do.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
But other than that, it wasn't There wasn't a lot
of politics in this one.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Was there?
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Not?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Really no?
Speaker 9 (20:37):
And that, you know, was kind of interesting to see.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
It was also a.
Speaker 9 (20:39):
Really efficient affair. We were out of here by you know,
eleven o three on the East coast, So this was
like pretty tight three hour show, okay.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
And was that because of Nate Bargatsky's challenge.
Speaker 9 (20:50):
Yeah, so this was I would say certainly not political.
But one of the more controversial aspects of the evening
was Nate Bargatzi, the host. This is his first time
hosting the Emmys. He is a stand up comedian of
some renown. He's got several stand up specials out there.
He's hosted SNL several times, and his running bit throughout
the evening was to basically announce at the beginning of
the show that he was going to donate one hundred
(21:12):
hundred thousand dollars to the Boys and Girls Club of America,
and for every second that someone went over there allotted
time in their acceptance speech, he would deduct a thousand dollars,
so sort of a running clock if you went over.
And by the end of the night that number was
at negative fifty thousand dollars, So it was kind of
maybe funny as like a one off bit, but they
(21:34):
kept going back to it throughout the night. Seems like
a lot of the reaction, at least on social media
to this morning, is that it was kind of in
bad taste. It's like, why are we taking donations away
from this very worthy cause, you know, just because people
are going over. In addition to that, Nate Bargatsy did
come out at the very end and announced that CBS
and himself would be donating three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars to the Boys and Girls Club of America, So
(21:56):
maybe to be expected, maybe that's what they were planning
the whole time. But like even still don't think it
really played well in the room, certainly not playing well
the morning after all.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Right, ABC's Mike Debuski thanks so much for the wrap up,
of course, take care all right. A new housing bill
in California could reshape neighborhoods across the state.
Speaker 10 (22:13):
Lawmakers have approved Senate Bill seventy nine, allowing nine story
apartments within a half mile of transit stops, even in
single family neighborhoods. Supporters say it tackles the housing shortage
and promotes transit use, while critics argue it overrides local control.
The bill now goes to Governor Newsom Brigidia de Gastino.

KFI News Kla County Sheriff's Department says wants the public's
help to find the killer of a forty year old
woman who was shot to death in Linnwood last year.
Irene Gonzalez was killed one year ago. Today, Sheriff's officials
confirmed she was shot by a mail driver while getting
out of a black Toyota Corolla. The La County Board
of Supervisors is offering a twenty thousand dollars reward for
(22:50):
information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the Killer.
Dodgers star Sho hey O Tani and his agent are
hitting back at a lawsuit over a real estate development
in Hawaii.
Speaker 11 (23:00):
On Sunday, Otani and his agent, Nez Blello, filed a
motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed against them last month.
The initial lawsuit claims they caused the Hawaii real estate
investor and broker to be fired from a two hundred
and forty million dollar luxury housing development on the Big
Island Sapula Coast. The countersuit claims the real estate investor
and broker violated a deal to use Otani's name, image,
(23:21):
and likeness to help sell properties at the development, and
also argues Otani's name and photograph were exploited to the
benefit of the plaintiff's side project development. Daniel Martindale KFI News.

Before Torrance, Dunn was the chief of the Fullerton Police Department.
He started his law enforcement career nineteen ninety three with
the Anheim PD. The City of Long Beach has canceled
this year's Dia de las Morts parade over immigration raid concerns.
(23:55):
The yearly event was set for November, but the city
said the cancelation was a result of concerns related to
activities in the region being conducted by federal law enforcement.
Funds for this year's parraide are going to be applied
to next year's parade. The FBI is up the reward
for information of a man accused of pointing a gun
and possibly firing at law enforcement officers during an immigration raid.
(24:17):
The reward has doubled to one hundred thousand dollars for
the suspect of the July raid at a cannabis farm
in Camarillo near Glasshouse Farms. UCLA has fired it's head
football coach after an zero to three start to the

American running back to Sean Foster was named head coach
prior to last season. He went five to ten last
(24:40):
season in the bruins first season in the Big Ten.
His final loss as head coach came on Friday thirty
five to ten to New Mexico, which was the underdog
heading into the game. It's six oh five, its handle
on the news and it's not handled today. He's on vacation.
They're on a cruise. Now. I got a text from
(25:01):
his wife who said she was scared to death because
of she watched poop cruise before they went on their crews.
It was like, probably not the best decision. And then
I just said, use a lot of hand a sanitizer,
lots of hand sanitizer. Here's what's coming out of the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The political assassination of conservative
activist Charlie Kirk has lawmakers on both sides of the
(25:24):
aisle worried that they could become targets. ABC Selena Wang
says some of them have even canceled their own scheduled
outdoor events.
Speaker 11 (25:32):
And now you have the Trump administration asking for an
additional fifty eight million dollars to protect and boost security
for members of the executive and judicial branches.

putting in a formal request for increased security for lawmakers.
President Trump is suggesting that a deal may have been
reached over the future of TikTok as he announces that
he's going to have a call with China's president Hijinping.
There's been no common information of that from China. President
(26:02):
Trump not ruling out potential strikes on mainland Venezuela because
of rising tensions over drug trafficking. Abc'son Cold Antonio says
Venezuela has accused the US of illegally boarding one of
its tuna boats.
Speaker 12 (26:15):
They armed US personnel held nine fishermen for hours back
on Friday.
Speaker 13 (26:19):
Now.
Speaker 12 (26:19):
A US official says that Coastguard members searched the boat
to see if it was carrying drugs, but did not
find any.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
The US says this happened in international waters. California lawmakers
have voted to extend a key climate program. The Cap
and Trade measure has gone to Governor Newsom's desk for
his signature. It sets a declining limit on total planet
warming emissions by major polluters. Democrat state is simply remember.
Jackie Irwin says it's a net positive for California.
Speaker 14 (26:49):
California's Cap and Trade program has been successful at cost
effectively reducing greenhouse gas emissions and charts a clear course
forward while providing a roadmap for other states and countries
to follow.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
The program was initially set to expire in twenty thirty,
but it's now authorized, or will be if the governor
signs it through twenty forty five. Time to get in
your business. And this morning we're going to be talking
with John Tucker. Courtney's taken the day off, so good morning, John.
Speaker 15 (27:20):
She sounds like Kathleen Turner when I talked to her.
She's got lair and shikas. So all right, you got
to scrape the bottom of the barrel this morning areas.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Oh no, it's not the bottom of the barrel, John, Okay,
So let's talk business. In a move that might keep
a lid on stock futures, China's regulator says our chip maker,
in Video was found in violation of some anti trust regulations.
Speaker 15 (27:46):
And this matters for the market because remember, in Vidia
is the world's biggest company, at least by market capitalization.
The Chinese have yet to say what remedies they're speaking,
but right now in Vidia shares we are lower even
the pre market trading. The big event this week is
going to be the FED meeting. Yeah, the traders preparing
(28:06):
for what's widely expected to be the first through the
series of the interest rate cuts. This week, the Wall
Street almost fully pricing reductions at each of the next
three meetings for the Federal Reserve. They're betting the Fed's
going to lean towards supporting a softening job market in
the US even as inflation remains above their target. Remember,
they have the dual mandate, so they have to focus
(28:28):
on keeping the country fully employed at the same time
they have to, according to their mandate, keep prices stable. Well,
sometimes one works against the other. So it's a really
delicate balancing act that you have to do at the
Federal Reserve. And it doesn't help that the President of
the United States basically wants to control their mandate.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
And you know, and he's been pushing for a really
long time for months now to get the Fed to
drop the interest rates, and now it looks like maybe
the conditions are finally favorable.
Speaker 15 (29:01):
Donald Trump says Wednesday, we're going to get a big cut.
He's going to be disappointed. It's not going to be
It's going to be a cut, but not a big cut.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
It's going to be like a quarter point.
Speaker 15 (29:10):
A quarter point okay.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Right, all right?
Speaker 15 (29:13):
Will you know, so are you securing your job? Will
artificial intelligence take your job? According to a new no
wait to sack, wait till I finish. According to a
new report from Anthropic Maybe, they say businesses are overwhelmingly
relying on artificial intelligence software to automate rather than collaborate
(29:37):
on work. The technology, of course, is spark concerns about
potential mass layoffs and worker displacement. But buck up because
one of the safest jobs that was listed radio hosts.
Believe it or not, Yeah, sood cues for us. We actually,
we actually tried this a few years ago to automate
(29:58):
the temperature. I don't know if it was necessarily artificial
intelligence or at least you know, our early version of it,
and it would work out. You'd hear it on the air.
It's eighty three and snowing in midtown. So that was
our attempted you know, artificial intelligence.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
All right, Okay, So I just mentioned this because it
just flashed on AP that Trump is suggesting that there
may be a deal between the US and TikTok.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (30:28):
Of course, you know who doesn't use TikTok? I mean,
I don't put.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Many kids, absolutely absolutely bit kids do.
Speaker 15 (30:35):
So Chinese representatives along with the US, they're discussing TikTok trade.
I letna say TikTok, trade and the economy during the
high level talks that are taking taking place in Madrid today.
Included in the agenda national security issues and the status
of TikTok, which is of course is owned by the
Chinese company bike Tans. They face a deadline this week
(30:57):
to reach a deal to continue their operation in the US.
If I were a betman, I'd say that the President
is just going to extend the deadline for another who knows,
a few months or whatever, all right.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
And we will know soon what that decision is getting
in your business with Bloomberg's John Tucker today in for Courtney.
Thanks so much, John, A pleasure, Amy, thank you, all right,
we'll talk soon. Vigils to remember conservative activist Charlie Kirk
continue to be held around the country, including one yesterday
in a park in Beverly Hills. Hundreds turned out to
remember the assassinated founder of Turning Point USA. Another vigil
(31:33):
was held in Santa Clarita on Saturday. People waved American
flags and turned out. In Huntington Beach. Police are investigating
the shooting death of a man in the Fashion district.
The LAPD says a man reported his brother had been shot.
Around five yesterday morning near eleventh and Los Angeles Streets.
Six people wearing dark clothes were seen driving off. No
(31:54):
further description was given. Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaba. The
movie Infinity Castle not even sure I've said that right
has had the biggest opening ever for an anime movie
in the US. It earned seventy million dollars at the
box office over the weekend. The Conjuring Last Rites finished
second in its second weekend with twenty six million dollars,
(32:17):
and Downton Abbey the Grand Finale finished in third with
eighteen million dollars. Second Morning. To ABC's Stephen portnoy So, Stephen,
President Trump has backed off plans to send the National
Guard into Chicago. What happened there and where's he going instead?
Speaker 16 (32:36):
Well, he said on Friday, excuse me, Amy, Good morning,
Happy Monday. He said on Friday that he's going to
send the National Guard into Memphis, Tennessee, a city that
historically has very high violent crime rate, one of the
highest of not the highest, in the country. Now, the
local officials there, who are Democrats, say it's not necessary.
(32:56):
We've heard that from other local officials in the country.
Particularly Icago, where there is in the state of Illinois
democratic governor JB.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Pritzker.
Speaker 13 (33:05):
Tennessee has a Republican governor, and that's a key difference,
not just politically, but also perhaps important legally, because one
of the issues is whether the governor is going to
invite in or call for the federalization of the National Guard.
And in the case of Southern California, when back in
the spring, I guess it was in June Governor Knewsoon
(33:28):
objected to the president's federalization, one of the arguments the
White House was making and the President was making, was
that there were violent protests in and around the actions
of Ice the enforcement of federal immigration law. We don't
have that dynamic currently in Chicago, nor do we have
it in Memphis, Tennessee. But because there's not, it seems
(33:49):
on its face an apparent need for the protection of
federal law enforcement in Chicago as they're conducting particular operations
like we saw to a certain extent in Southern California
when there were violent protests. The idea is that perhaps
legally it's a bit more of a reach to justify
(34:09):
the federalization of the troops in Chicago Illinois right now,
if the governor of Tennessee, Bill Lee, is going to say, please,
mister President, we've got this problem we can't solve.
Speaker 11 (34:19):
On our own.
Speaker 13 (34:19):
We need your help, which appears to be publicly the dynamic.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
We'll see if it all plays out.
Speaker 13 (34:26):
So far, all we have is the President saying on
Friday that he's going to do it.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
We've not seen anything.
Speaker 13 (34:31):
In writing to back up what is seemingly about to
happen in Memphis, and no indication this morning that it's
actually underway.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Okay, So then backing up to Chicago so that the
ice operations that they've been doing for the last week
or two, those are going to continue. They're just he's
backing off the National Guard part and then instead shifting
that to Memphis. If I'm understanding it.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Right, well, I think so. I mean, look, it's best
viewed on separate track.
Speaker 13 (35:00):
But because each circumstance is different, the President in recent
weeks has been asked, you know, why would you send
federal troops only to the areas.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Controlled or governed by Democrats.
Speaker 13 (35:11):
Why not do it in cities that have high rates
of crime that happened to be in states controlled by Republicans. Initially,
the President blanched and suggested that perhaps, you know, no
one really fully but him understands how bad things are
in Chicago, and never you mind all that. Now he
seems to be coming around to say, here's an example
(35:33):
where the governor is inviting in the presence.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Of the National Guard.
Speaker 13 (35:37):
In the case of the city of Memphis, the mayor says,
we don't need it. He also points to statistics indicating
that perhaps violent crime is improving in Memphis. The President
over the weekend, maybe even overnight, indicated that to the
extent that.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
That's true, it's because he has stepped up.
Speaker 13 (35:56):
Federal you know, law enforcement, immigration enforcement, law enforcement in
the city of Memphis over the past five months or so.
So look, you know, I think the President is intent
on doing something to demonstrate that he can and perhaps
because he wants to have an impact. So we'll see
what plays out. So far, all we have three days
(36:16):
ago is the President saying he's going to do it,
and we're waiting to see if he's actually going to
do it. There's no doubt that he will, so he
hasn't seemed to have done it yet.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Okay, and then just one quick question for you then
in DC, where the National Guard has been deployed, that
thirty days came and went, didn't it?
Speaker 13 (36:36):
It has, And overnight the President tweeted that he may
have to he feels declare another crime emergency here in
the city because he's getting the indication from the Mayor
of Washington d C. Muriel Bowser, who has been cooperative
right with the federal surge, that perhaps going forward, the
DC police won't be as cooperative with ice.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Comes to sharing information or other things.
Speaker 13 (37:02):
The details on that are scant, and it's certainly interesting
the idea that the President would feel as though he
needs to assert himself based on the suspicion that perhaps
going forward there may not be the kind of cooperation which,
by the way, A. Muriel Bowser had indicated in writing
that there would be. So obviously there needs to be
some clarification here as to exactly what's going on, and
(37:25):
if there's going to be another federal emergency, what would
the rationale for that be. You know, the President says that,
you know, he's getting indications of perhaps Muriel Bowser's not
willing to cooperate the way that she had indicated that
