But here's what's ahead. On wake Up Call.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Los Angeles police searched a Hollywood Hills home where singer
David had been staying as part of an investigation to
the death of fifteen year old Celestrivus Hernandez. Her body
was found in the trunk of a Tesla registered to him,
and detective's recovered evidence now being analyzed. Police are still
searching for suspects of the twenty twenty drive by killing
of Dominic Landon Goodin in South LA. He was gunned
(01:36):
down on West sixty ninth Street as multiple shooters open fire.
Please say A fifty thousand dollars reward is now being offered.
One of the greatest players in the one hundred and
forty one history of the LA Dodgers will be calling
it a career at season's end. Clayton Kershaw has announced
this will be his last season. I know Dodgers fans
(01:57):
are going to be sorry to hear that.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Well, here's what's ahead.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
On wake Up Call at five oh five, Vice President
Vance is warning no one is safe from political violence,
but a new DOJ report that's been pulled says far
right extremists are the biggest threat. We're gonna sort out
all the facts with ABC's John Cohen at five twenty.
New Zone zero fire rules could save homes or strip
(02:26):
southern California's tree canopy. We're going to break down what's
really at stake with Dean Sharp, the House Whisper, And
if I point thirty five, the stocks have been moving
all this week. We're gonna have your Bloomberg Report heading
into the weekend. And if I point fifty, I'm going
to be sharing a deeply personal story about cancer and
caregiving that you don't want to miss. And if you
(02:46):
want to talk to us, hit us up on the
talkback button. Tell us what you've got planned for the weekend.
We'd love to hear from you. At six oh five,
it's handled on the news. Former President Obama has accused
the Trump administration of escalating cancel culture after ABC Disney
pulled Jimmy Kimmel live from the air indefinitely. We're going
to tell you what he said. The reaction is from
political leaders. Let's get started with some of the stories
(03:08):
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. As
you heard me mention, LA Dodgers star pitcher Clayton Kershaw
says he's retiring after the twenty twenty five season.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
I'm at peace with it.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
I think it's the right time.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
And it's been such a fun year. I've had such
a blast with this group.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
The eleven time All Star is thirty seven and has
played all eighteen seasons of his MLB career with the Dodgers,
winning two World Series titles and three Cy Young Awards.
He will play out the rest of the season with
the Dodgers, which are competing for a spot in the postseason.
Kershaw will make his final Dodger Stadium regular season start
(03:47):
when the team hosts the San Francisco Giants tonight at seven.
You can hear all Dodgers games on our sister station,
AM five seventy. The news is brought to you by
Simper Solaris. La Metro's A Line is set to grow
later today.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
It's already the longest and busiest modern light rail line
in the world, and as of noon today, it will
include four more stops. The A Line has served commuters,
connecting them from Long Beach to AZUSA for years, and
now it'll go nine point one miles further into the
San Gabriel Valley. New stations will serve Glendoras and Demas,
Laverne and Pomona. The one point nine billion dollar project
(04:21):
will be celebrated in a ribbon cutting with actor Will
Wheaton serving as MC. Full service on the extended line
starts at noon. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Did you say Will Wheaton as in Star Trek's Will Wheaton?
That's so random.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
California lawmakers are pushing Senate Bill six oh seven, which
would let voters decide on twenty three billion dollars in
bonds to create the California Foundation for Science and Health
and Research. The foundation would research cancer, Alzheimer's, climate change,
wildfire prevention, and pandemic preparedness. If approved, it would provide
(04:54):
grants and loans to California universities research institutions, especially for
projects that have lost federal funding. Well after Charlie Kirk's murder,
Vice President JD. Vance blamed the left for political violence,
but an Apartment of Justice study shows far right groups
commit most deadly acts. And joining us now to help
us make sense of it all is ABC's contributor and
(05:17):
former Homeland Security counter Terrorism chief John Cohen.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Good morning, John, Good morning, Heather, nice to be with you.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
So what does the data actually tell us about the
threat landscape when it comes to political violence.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
In the US?
Speaker 9 (05:34):
So the US has been experiencing, over say the past decade,
a dramatic increase in acts of targeted violence and mass
casually attacks by individuals whose various motives may select vary
or slightly or significantly, but who exhibit and possess certain
(05:55):
consistent behavioral characteristics. The key here is that we have
individuals who are angry, disaffected, who oftentimes form very strong
disagreements with government policies or the views of others, who
increasingly become convinced that violence is an acceptable way for
(06:16):
them to express their anger or sense of grievance about society.
They spend a lot of time online consuming content that
is often very violent or extreme, and that's specifically placed
there by foreign and domestic threat actors and criminals who
seek to encourage and inform that's upset of our population
(06:38):
that's vulnerable to being influenced by this content to go
out and engage in violence. So that's the background that
this attack has taken place in, and I think what
we are seeing, based on what we've learned thus far
from investigators, is that is that the shooter in this
case possess many of those same characteristics. His motive seemed
(07:00):
to be very directed at mister Kirk. It was based
on a blend of ideology and personal grievance having to
do with issues relating to gender identity and sexual orientation.
He was heavily influenced by what he saw and how
he communicated on the internet, particularly in the gaming culture,
(07:23):
and ultimately he felt that his only recourse was to
commit this target attack. The second part of this, really briefly,
is that this situation and this event is being exploited
by countries like Russia and Iran, and even neo Nazi
groups here in the US and other anti government groups
(07:46):
as a call to action. So we're seeing a lot
of content now being pushed out in the online ecosystem
that is providing false information about this attack, using the
attack as a way to encourage calls for civil war
and other acts of violence. So that's the environment we're
(08:07):
in right now, and that's how this situation is playing
into the broader threat environment.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
So what is your reaction then, to the Guardians reporting
that a DOJ study on the on domestic terrorism pointing
to far right extremists as the deadliest threat was removed
from public view. Did that happen or what are your
thoughts on that?
Speaker 9 (08:27):
So, I mean, I've been in law enforcement and homeland
security for over four decades, and you know, law enforcement
has to operate in the real world. The real world
is that we have seen acts of targeted violence by
those motivated by far right ideological beliefs, and we've seen
acts of target violence by those motivated by what I
would call extreme left or other ideological beliefs. We've seen
(08:50):
elected officials recently to elected officials and their spouses were
targeted in Minnesota by individuals who expressed far right view
by an individual who express far right views. And we've
seen the presidential candidate and current president and personas like
Charlie Kirk target as well. So to sit here, and
(09:13):
you know, from a law enforcement perspective, you know, it
doesn't really matter what one's ideological view is. What matters
is that they are engaging in violent or criminal activity.
And we're seeing that directed at all parts of the
political spectrum.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
So what can be done to restore public trust if anything,
when it comes to the government's handling of domestic terrorism
and data? And you know, unity is that even a possibility?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Now?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I mean, everybody feels just so extremely angry all the time.
Speaker 9 (09:47):
Yeah, I mean, I think you've just hit on a
key part of the issue. And look, I'm off and
called depressing, you know, And I recognize that PBI am
at times. But there is a lot of good news,
you know. At the same time that this attack occurred,
we saw in Pierce County, Washington, law enforcement officials become
(10:08):
aware of a threat to quickly investigate that threat and
stop what they believe was about a pending mass shooting.
So what this requires is basically three areas of activity.
One we need law enforcement needs to change the playbook,
and in many cases, state and local law enforcement organizations
like the LAPD and LA County Sheriffs are leading the
way in this type of work, where they are better
(10:30):
understanding the role of the Internet plays in inspiring violence
or providing information about a pending attack. They are incorporating
that analysis into their violence prevention activities. They're linking law
enforcement with mental health professionals so that they can evaluate
the risk of people who pop up on the radar
screen because these people always exhibit behaviors prior to the
(10:51):
attack that cause concern and very often are reported. So
law enforcement has to have the tools in order to
assess the risks. Second is mental health. Almost all of
these attackers are facing behavioral health challenges. We need resources
available so that when law enforcement does identify somebody in
need of help, they can get them the help they need.
(11:12):
And then, finally, to your point, we really need to
ratchet down the intensity and the violence that has become
very inherent in our political narratives. You can disagree with somebody,
you can be vehement and passionate about expressing your views.
You should be willing to debate people, but you don't
have to hate or believe that they're the enemy and
(11:33):
call for violence against them. And that's going to only
come when we as the general public, demand of our
public officials that they play their role as well.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I think that is a great point.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
It's almost like we need leadership who will step up
and say everyone calm down, everyone just say good breath.
You know a lot of people who listen to our station,
we sometimes get the raw end of the deal there
or their frustration because they'll call it and they'll vent
out their anger and frustration on us here. Because we're
reporting the stories and we're sharing the stories and information.
(12:07):
That's happening, and you almost just want to tell people
like it's okay, We're going to be okay, Like just
take a breath and we'll get through this. But John,
I wish we had so much more time to talk
about this. I find this to be a fascinating subject
than something people need to be aware of in their
own communities and daily lives. So thank you so much,
and hopefully we'll talk to you again soon.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
My pleasure talking against it.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
All right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. President
Trump has returned to the US following a short visit
to Britain. King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted a state
dinner for the President and the First Lady Wednesday, and
the President met yesterday with Prime Minister Keir Starmer. They
signed a tech agreement that Trump says aims to bolster
innovation in both countries.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
We work together, and it keeps us together, and I
think it's an unbreakable bond we have.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
At the end of the trip, Trump's helicopter had to
make an unscheduled line due to what the White House
called a minor hydraulic issue. No one was hurt, and
Trump later continued home on Air Force One. Charlie Kirk's
widow has been chosen to lead his Turning Point USA organization.
Erica Kirk was named the CEO yesterday, about a week
after her husband was killed at a college in Utah.
(13:17):
She spoke last week about keeping his work going. If
you thought that my husband's mission was powerful before, you
had no idea. Charlie Kirk co founded Turning Point USA
when he was eighteen and did college campus tours to
engage in conversations. Supporters of Jimmy Kimmel demonstrated outside the
(13:40):
l Capitin Theater in Hollywood and the Walt Disney Studios
in Burbank. They gathered to protest the indefinite suspension of
Kimmel's Late Night show over comments he made about Charlie
Kirk's assassination. The FCC says the comments appeared to be
intentionally misleading. Protesters criticized ABC and President Trump, who many
blamed for suspending Kimmel for the first time in months.
(14:01):
There is widespread rain in SoCal as remnants of Tropical
Storm Mario moved north. Much of the area is under
a flood watch through today, with forecasters warning of heavy downpours, thunderstorms,
and possible flash flooding. Ellie County has imposed a new
policy requiring oversight officials to get approval before making public statements,
posting on social media, or contacting supervisors. Critics say the
(14:25):
move chills independent watchdogs who have exposed deputy misconduct and
grim jail conditions, while county leaders argue it insures consistent messaging.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris reveals in her new memoir
One hundred and Seven Days thatte Buddha j Eddge was
her first choice for running mate in twenty twenty four.
She writes that having two barriers, two barrier breaking candidates
(14:48):
rather on the ticket was too big of a risk,
so she chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walls instead. Six oh five,
it's handled on the news. President Trump is considering revoking
broadcast licenses for negative cover of him by television networks.
We're going to tell you how he plans to do
it and who is supporting it well. California is moving
closer to final zoned zero rules requiring a five foot
(15:12):
ember resistant buffer around homes in fire zones. Supporters say
it'll save lives and property, but critics warn it could
gut urban tree cover. Here to help us sort it
all out is Dean Sharp the house whisper, good morning.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Dean, Good morning, Heather. The roles have reversed.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
It's like now I'm going to be talking to you
and asking you questions.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Go for it. I'm thrilled, I'm thrilled. I love this.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Okay, so let's just jump right in here. For homeowners
who have never heard the term before, what exactly is
zone zero and why is it being proposed?
Speaker 10 (15:47):
Zone zero is a term that has become more kind
of solidified over the last few years in the minds
of those who are concerned about fire vulnerability for house
and zone zero and we're counting zones of vulnerability out
from the wall of your house out to the edge
of your property. Zone zero is the first zone. It
(16:09):
is the first five feet from the exterior wall of
your house outward, the first five feet around your entire house.
It is, without question, the most vulnerable and the most
important area to deal with, especially when it comes to
embers floating through the air from a local wildfire. Because
(16:29):
it has been established by research again and again and
again that it is those embers that are most likely
to ignite a home, not the fire line of where
the fire actually is, but sometimes up to a couple
miles away, embers igniting homes in neighborhoods. And that's why,
you know, when we see wildfire coverage, we're watching the
(16:52):
wildfire up on the hillsides and burning through and then
all of a sudden, oh, there's a house on fire
in a local neighborhood. Well how did that happen? Because
embers from that fire are floating through the air and
most likely getting into somebody's attics. So zone zero very
very important. I want to make it really clear to
our listeners that I am entirely in support of protecting
(17:14):
zone zero, although I have some serious concerns about this
new zone zero policy that's very quickly sliding in. It
looks like it could get approved and applied to all
of California, especially southern California, in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Okay, so let's talk about some of the concerns that
people are raising. So they say that zone zero could
decimate urban tree canopies without release stopping any major fires.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
And do you think that's a valid concern?
Speaker 10 (17:43):
I do think it's a valid concern. I think it's
a very valid concern because when we think about the
idea of like, well, listen, within that first five feet
zone zero. This new policy, by the way, is the
idea is removing all combustible materials in the first five feet,
including plants. And that's easier said than done. For most
(18:05):
Southern California homes, especially older homes, lower income homes. On
smaller pieces of property, you may have feature trees in
that first five feet that have been there for a
long long time. Removing tree canopy has never actually been
established by any study as a significant deterrent of fire
(18:27):
spread if the tree canopy is pruned and it's well watered.
In fact, removing any kind of well watered plant material
from your yard has never been confirmed to be a
major cause. Now, could anything catch on fire if a
thousand degree fire arrives at your home. Sure, of course,
of course anything could catch on fire. But the question
(18:50):
is are these plants encouraging the thread of the spread
of fire? Are the actually discouraging at times the spread
of embers? I think a straw argument can be made
that they are discouraging the spread of embers, well watered,
well maintained landscape, and so to make a just a
blanket ruling saying now it doesn't matter with very few exceptions.
(19:13):
We're removing all plant material from within five feet of
the house that has the potential of defoliating a large
part of the urban environment, which environmentally actually pushes us
in the opposite direction. Gives us more heat islands warms up,
our environment, dries things out, makes it more likely for
(19:36):
fires to be willing to spread in the first place.
And that's one of my concerns, just one.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
If the state adopts these rules by the end of
the year, what is your best advice right now to homeowners?
Speaker 10 (19:46):
Well, right now, my best advice is to get informed,
and there are public opportunities to share that the process
is taking place. It's just being very silently moving forward.
There was a what was supposed to be a major gathering,
a major meeting last night in Pasadena about this. And
(20:06):
as I'm asking homeowners have you heard about the zone
zero thing is like, no, I have no idea what
you're talking about. This is going to have a significant
impact on all of us eventually financially. Now, if it
passes the zone zero ordinances are at first only going
to take effect in where the wildlife urban interface areas,
(20:26):
high risk fire zones, and what are called the state
responsibility areas. So I guess it's no wonder that the
state is actually helping to promote this because these are
areas where the state is financially liable for wildfire spread
and for damage. But eventually, according to these ordinances, that
happens first year, and then three years down the road
(20:48):
it suddenly applies to everybody across the board.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Well, it's definitely something that homeowners should be aware of,
and we'll be keeping a close eye on, and I
know that you, as our home expert here, will be
keeping an eye on for everyone. Everybody listened to Home
with Dean Sharp, the house Whisper on KFI Saturday six
to eight and Sunday's nine to noon, and follow him
on social media at Home with Dean and Dean I'll
(21:11):
talk to you in the morning.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Sounds great. All right, have a great rest of your day.
Speaker 11 (21:16):
Bye, Heather.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Metro is celebrating
the grand opening of its A line Extension project from
Azusa to Pomona. It used to be the gold Line.
Confetti canyons will be fired off later this morning in
Metro's Pomona North station. The extension also has stations in Laverne,
San Dimas, and Glendora. California lawmakers are working to protect
(21:39):
funding for scientific research amid proposed federal cuts by the
Trump administration.
Speaker 11 (21:43):
Senate Bill six oh seven, back by Democrats, would allow
voters to decide in November on issuing twenty three billion
dollars in bonds to create the California Foundation for Science
and Health Research. The foundation would prioritize research on things
like cancer, Alzheimer's, climate change, wildfire prevention, and pandemic preparedness.
If approved, it would provide grants and loans to California
universities and research institutions, especially for projects that have lost
(22:07):
federal funding. Mark Ronner KFI News.

come to LA. The popular Oregon based coffee chain will
(23:11):
open its first LA shop near usc and Exposition Park
later this year. Then at six oh five, It's handle
on the news. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior's Vaccine
Advisory Committee has adopted new restrictions on a shot that
protects against chicken pox, measles, mumps, and rebella. We're going
to tell you what the restrictions are La Mayor bas
has come out in favor of moving forward on the
(23:33):
proposed two point seven billion dollar expansion of the La
Convention Center.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
Bassa's City Hall must move away from the old, failed
ways of doing things to open La for business. She
says the project would catalyze change downtown. Kelncilman to Mcoscar
agrees and said this week the city needs to get
out of its own way.
Speaker 9 (23:49):
So this self fulfilling prophecy, if we can't do it,
is coming true because of what we not, you guys,
what the city is doing.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
Some council members have expressed fears the city can't afford
the estimated one one hundred to two hundred million dollar

UCLA could be getting back most of the research funding
frozen by the Trump administration.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
On Thursday, a federal judge announced she was inclined to
extend an earlier ruling that ordered the Trump administration to
restore an additional five hundred million dollars in medical research grants.
The grants were frozen after UCLA was accused of anti
semitism in connection with last year's pro Palestinian protests on campus.
US District Judge Rita f Lynn did not make a
formal ruling, but indicated she is leaning toward reversing most
(25:47):
of the funding phrases. The suspended grants involved studies into
Parkinson's disease, cancer treatment, and nerve regeneration. Daniel Martindale, CAFI News.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
It's Friday, so that means there's going to be some
new movies at the box this weekend, But which ones are.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Universal's hymn is trying to tackle football's dark side with
a mix of horror and satire, but it never quite
finds its footing. Critics say director Justin Tipping leans on
jump cuts, booming music, and voodoo tropes that feel more
messy than meaningful.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Marlon Wayans give gives.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
It a result in this movie as a fading star
quarterback guiding a young protege, but a lot of reviews
are saying the story spirals into like an incoherent shock
moments instead of sharp commentary.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
You want to go on a bold beautiful journey.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Oh yes we do. Yes, there you go.
Speaker 11 (26:47):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
It's a big, bold, beautiful journey aims for a mainstream
Charlie Kaufman vibe, but it also never quite finds its
emotional core. Through a surprising twist of faith seeing fate,
rather single strangers, Sarah and David get to relive important
moments from their respective pasting, illuminating how they got to
where they are now. So a couple of movie options
(27:10):
for you at the box office this weekend. September is
generally pretty slow when it comes to bigger movies. Studios
are going to start releasing the really big titles coming
in the next few months and getting closer to the holidays,
and we are going to be breaking all of that
down for you. You can listen to my weekly Entertainment

going to read about.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
I know, right, stay home, this is not the best.
And I also that was after I tried to research
and find like, what are some good movies coming out?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Not many? Not many. I understand Disney exec spoke with
Jimmy kill what's going on?
Speaker 7 (28:01):
Yeah, they had this was last night. They held talks
with Jimmy Kimmel last night discussing the future of his program.
This according to sources telling Bloomberg, they were going to
discuss the next steps for Jimmy Kimmel Alive meantime, and
this is the business aspect of it as well. Following
Kimmel's suspension, searches for cancel Disney Plus hit a twelve
(28:23):
month high. This according to the data from Google Trends,
so elevated search volume for canceling streaming plans often precedes
potential streamer churner subscriber losses for companies. I guess that
would seem kind of obvious.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Yeah, I actually have been seeing a lot of people
posting that they're canceling their Disney subscription, Hulu, all of it,
I wanted to say.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
And we had, we had here in Manhattan, any number
of protests taking place. One of the Disney outlets is
downtown and lots of high schoolers actually showing up.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
But see, oh that is interesting, the youth getting involved.
I guess that's a good thing, you know, instead of
being on their phones.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Speaking of phones, let's talk.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
About the scratches and the issues that are happening with
the new iPhone seventeen.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
They went on sale this morning. A lot of gadget
shappers in China that's where it first went on sale.
They are taking to social media this morning with photos
of scratches on the back of the newly released iPhone
seventeen lineup from Apple. So this potentially mars the launch
of the marquee product from the company. These are the
(29:33):
deep blue variants of the iPhone seventeen Pro and the Promax.
They're exhibiting scuffs and scratches. This comes just after a
few hours of being on display. Of course, this is
Apple's first major hardware read design in years. They're returning
to the aluminum shell and feature what Apple had touted
as the more scratch resistant finish on the back of
(29:56):
the phones.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
So much for that, yeah, well maybe, oh wait another
year to get a new iPhone. Let's talk about car prices.
They're shifting into high gear.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
Oh you want to get well, you have my copy.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
I do.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
I was going to say, if you want to guess
with okay listeners out there, guess the what the average
price of a new car is and keep that in mind.
Car price is shifting into higher gear. Yes, the higher
price of a new vehicle now hovering around forty nine
thousand dollars. It's about a third higher than it was
in twenty nineteen. This is data from Co's Automotive much
(30:34):
of the recent auto inflation. You can tie this directly
to options and add ons. Last year, the average car
sold for one third more than the average starting price.
A lot of buyers either didn't want the bare bones
based models or couldn't find them. I stripped down a car.
It's just I want no extra features, more things to
(30:55):
go wrong.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
All right, I just need my leather seats. That's all
I need. Or plethor I'll even take plus. I want
to skip ahead to one more story before we let
you go. Let's talk about TikTok Don't let them take
away my TikTok.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
Okay, So investor, this is one of the big focus
for investors today. On the phone call between President Trump
and is a Chinese counterpart to Shishianping. In fact, we're
being told it's taking place right now. The conversation promises
to determine the fate of TikTok potentially, I also ease
(31:27):
trade tensions between the two biggest economies. And before I go,
after the record closes that we saw on the major
averages yesterday, heather a Dow futures of forty three s
and P futures right now ten points sire in the
nastic futures up thirty five.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Excellent. Well, I guess that's some good news for investors.
I don't know. Stocks are not my thing. That's your thing.
Speaker 7 (31:51):
Yeah, I would guess that we're on track for another
record close for this Friday. All right, if I were
a beton man.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Sounds good. Enjoy your book this weekend, John, Thank you.
President Trump suggested the FCC should review licenses for television
networks that criticize him, praising FCC Chair Brendan Carr as
a patriot. Please in Mississippi say the death of a
twenty one year old Delta State University student, Trey Reid,
found hanging from a tree on campus earlier this week
(32:20):
has been ruled a suicide, and a massive homeless encampment
in Koreatown dubbed a mini city with its own garden,
and even a tennis court is finally being cleared. We're
just minutes away from handle. On the news this morning,
a man has died on a roller coaster a Universal's
epic universe in Orlando. We're going to tell you what
happened now. I want to take a minute to share
(32:41):
something very personal with you. And I wasn't sure if
I wanted to share this story, but I feel like
it might help some other people who are out there
who may be in a similar situation. September is National
Blood Cancer Awareness Month, and I want to tell you guys,
this is something I've never talked about publicly before, in
(33:03):
order to help raise awareness for those who find themselves
caught between cancer and caregiving.
Speaker 12 (33:09):
Nineteen I got twenty ooh not wrong?
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Would be good today. This is Barbara. She's seventy nine,
has strong opinions, loves gambling. Blackjack is her favorite. What
do you like about gambling? When in moning gave me Too?
And spending time with her twelve year old granddaughter Channing.
Speaker 12 (33:27):
What are you take into accotic horses, English man, I'm
taking normal poses.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
And then she also happens to be my mom, and
with her permission, I can share this. She's faced be
cell lymphoma or non Hodgkins lymphoma not once, but twice.
Speaker 12 (33:42):
They told me in all October of twenty twenty three
that I was it was gone. I was in remission,
but I was glad it was over.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
The first time, her years as a nurse and her
grit as a single mom carried her through. But the
second time, that confidence gave way to something I hadn't
seen before when it came back this second time. You
initially didn't want to pursue treatment.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Why not.
Speaker 12 (34:06):
Just didn't want to go through chemo anymore.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
September is National Blood Cancer Awareness Month. Blood cancers include leukemia, lymphoma,
and my looma.
Speaker 13 (34:14):
Probably fall somewhere. Is probably the fourth or fifth most
common of cancer within the US. You know, Fortunately, blood
cancers don't get as much claim as breast cancer, prostate cancer,
or lung cancer. It's a situation where I think a
lot of people have very little knowledge of it.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Doctor ty Sell Phillips, elymphoma specialists from City of Hope
says blood cancers are the fourth most common cancers in
the US that many people aren't aware of the warning
signs or available treatments.
Speaker 13 (34:42):
Unfortunately, there's no easy screening tool that we can have
for these blood cancers, so we don't typically find them
in most patients until they actually present with a problem.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society says an estimated one point
six million people in the US are living with or
in remission from blood cancers. Phillips says researchers have made
great progress in treating lymphoma, but could do more if
there was greater awareness.
Speaker 13 (35:05):
The marches and the walks are bart far for more
for breast cancer. You can see a couple walks of
prostate cancer, even though almost every man who lives will
get prostact cancer, but all the attention seems to go
to breast cancer. Doesn't give as much attention, even though
it is more common than what people would think.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
When it became clear she couldn't take care of herself
anymore because of the cancer and other health issues, I
moved my mom from Oklahoma to Los Angeles so I
could help.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Where do you want to go? Like the beach?
Speaker 12 (35:29):
Now I want to go to Beverly Hills, and I
want to go to Malibu and the casino.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
They could see, no, definitely.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
What I didn't expect was how quickly the rolls would shift.
Suddenly I was the caregiver, the mother, the daughter, all
at once, that constant tug of war. It's what experts
call the Sandwich generation, and millions of people are right
smack dab in the middle of it.
Speaker 14 (35:52):
The Sandwich generation is typically people who are raising children
under the age of eighteen in their home, and now
they're also managing the care of an aging parent or
an aging elder.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Christy burn Yates is an author and expert on the
Sandwich generation, the group of people, typically women ages forty
to fifty nine, who are raising children while caring for
an aging parent or loved one.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
You're checking on them daily about their medication, or you're
contacting the insurance company, or you're going to the doctor
with them, or you're helping them with the bills or
what have you.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
This is caregiving.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
She says, one way to manage the Sandwich generation is
to be honest with your kids about the challenges you face.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Have you felt like I have not been around as much.
Speaker 6 (36:34):
It definitely makes me realize that you're a lot more
busy than usual. You always say, oh, hold on, I
need to get the story, to get something for grandma
real quick, or I need to check up on grandma.
I understand that and respect that you fully need a
check on your mom. I mean I would too when
you're old, I'd be like.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Is my mom okay? So I totally understand that. I
can tell you.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Our kids are watching us, and when they see us
stressed out and they don't know what it's about, that's
scarier for them than if we were just clear with them,
like this is what's happening.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
After some convincing and another nine months of chemo.
Speaker 12 (37:08):
They told me I was in remission again. I'm feeling
better and I'm getting I'm doing more activities.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
And how does it feel to have your daughter taking
care of you most of the time.
Speaker 12 (37:20):
I'm glad you do because I feel safe when I'm
with you. I trust you to not let me fall
and help me with things, and.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
I buy you snacks that you're not supposed to have.
Speaker 12 (37:31):
Yeah, snacks are always good.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Here's the truth. Life in this Sandwich generation is a gamble.
It's messy, stressful, and sometimes it hurts. My mom has
beaten cancer twice. Proof the odds don't always win. The
real victory is staying in the game.
Speaker 5 (37:50):
Twenty one Oh my daughter breath.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Wo Heather Brooker kf I News. So this was a
I'm gonna trying not to cry and tear up a
little bit. This was a difficult story for me to write,
but also one that I hope people found some hope
in and some inspiration. If you have somebody in your
life that's dealing with cancer, ooh, I'm gonna try not
(38:16):
to cry on a Friday at six. If you have
someone in your life that is dealing with cancer and
you're feeling overwhelmed, I want to encourage you to go
to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, check out some information there,
reach out to help. If there's one thing I learned
of putting this story together, it's that you cannot do
this alone. If you're a caregiver and caring for someone
(38:38):
who is older, create a village, seek out people who
can help you. It will truly make a difference in
your life. Don't be afraid to ask for help. So
thank you to everybody for listening and letting me share
my story, and I hope it brought a little bit
of joy and hope into your day on this Friday.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
So before I make myself cry or make anybody else cry,
we are going to wrap up this edition of wake

But here's what's ahead. On wake Up Call.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Los Angeles police searched a Hollywood Hills home where singer
David had been staying as part of an investigation to
the death of fifteen year old Celestrivus Hernandez. Her body
was found in the trunk of a Tesla registered to him,
and detective's recovered evidence now being analyzed. Police are still
searching for suspects of the twenty twenty drive by killing
of Dominic Landon Goodin in South LA. He was gunned
(01:36):
down on West sixty ninth Street as multiple shooters open fire.
Please say A fifty thousand dollars reward is now being offered.
One of the greatest players in the one hundred and
forty one history of the LA Dodgers will be calling
it a career at season's end. Clayton Kershaw has announced
this will be his last season. I know Dodgers fans
(01:57):
are going to be sorry to hear that.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Well, here's what's ahead.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
On wake Up Call at five oh five, Vice President
Vance is warning no one is safe from political violence,
but a new DOJ report that's been pulled says far
right extremists are the biggest threat. We're gonna sort out
all the facts with ABC's John Cohen at five twenty.
New Zone zero fire rules could save homes or strip
(02:26):
southern California's tree canopy. We're going to break down what's
really at stake with Dean Sharp, the House Whisper, And
if I point thirty five, the stocks have been moving
all this week. We're gonna have your Bloomberg Report heading
into the weekend. And if I point fifty, I'm going
to be sharing a deeply personal story about cancer and
caregiving that you don't want to miss. And if you
(02:46):
want to talk to us, hit us up on the
talkback button. Tell us what you've got planned for the weekend.
We'd love to hear from you. At six oh five,
it's handled on the news. Former President Obama has accused
the Trump administration of escalating cancel culture after ABC Disney
pulled Jimmy Kimmel live from the air indefinitely. We're going
to tell you what he said. The reaction is from
political leaders. Let's get started with some of the stories
(03:08):
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. As
you heard me mention, LA Dodgers star pitcher Clayton Kershaw
says he's retiring after the twenty twenty five season.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
I'm at peace with it.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
I think it's the right time.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
And it's been such a fun year. I've had such
a blast with this group.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
The eleven time All Star is thirty seven and has
played all eighteen seasons of his MLB career with the Dodgers,
winning two World Series titles and three Cy Young Awards.
He will play out the rest of the season with
the Dodgers, which are competing for a spot in the postseason.
Kershaw will make his final Dodger Stadium regular season start
(03:47):
when the team hosts the San Francisco Giants tonight at seven.
You can hear all Dodgers games on our sister station,
AM five seventy. The news is brought to you by
Simper Solaris. La Metro's A Line is set to grow
later today.
Speaker 8 (04:00):
It's already the longest and busiest modern light rail line
in the world, and as of noon today, it will
include four more stops. The A Line has served commuters,
connecting them from Long Beach to AZUSA for years, and
now it'll go nine point one miles further into the
San Gabriel Valley. New stations will serve Glendoras and Demas,
Laverne and Pomona. The one point nine billion dollar project
(04:21):
will be celebrated in a ribbon cutting with actor Will
Wheaton serving as MC. Full service on the extended line
starts at noon. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Did you say Will Wheaton as in Star Trek's Will Wheaton?
That's so random.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
California lawmakers are pushing Senate Bill six oh seven, which
would let voters decide on twenty three billion dollars in
bonds to create the California Foundation for Science and Health
and Research. The foundation would research cancer, Alzheimer's, climate change,
wildfire prevention, and pandemic preparedness. If approved, it would provide
(04:54):
grants and loans to California universities research institutions, especially for
projects that have lost federal funding. Well after Charlie Kirk's murder,
Vice President JD. Vance blamed the left for political violence,
but an Apartment of Justice study shows far right groups
commit most deadly acts. And joining us now to help
us make sense of it all is ABC's contributor and
(05:17):
former Homeland Security counter Terrorism chief John Cohen.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Good morning, John, Good morning, Heather, nice to be with you.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
So what does the data actually tell us about the
threat landscape when it comes to political violence.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
In the US?
Speaker 9 (05:34):
So the US has been experiencing, over say the past decade,
a dramatic increase in acts of targeted violence and mass
casually attacks by individuals whose various motives may select vary
or slightly or significantly, but who exhibit and possess certain
(05:55):
consistent behavioral characteristics. The key here is that we have
individuals who are angry, disaffected, who oftentimes form very strong
disagreements with government policies or the views of others, who
increasingly become convinced that violence is an acceptable way for
(06:16):
them to express their anger or sense of grievance about society.
They spend a lot of time online consuming content that
is often very violent or extreme, and that's specifically placed
there by foreign and domestic threat actors and criminals who
seek to encourage and inform that's upset of our population
(06:38):
that's vulnerable to being influenced by this content to go
out and engage in violence. So that's the background that
this attack has taken place in, and I think what
we are seeing, based on what we've learned thus far
from investigators, is that is that the shooter in this
case possess many of those same characteristics. His motive seemed
(07:00):
to be very directed at mister Kirk. It was based
on a blend of ideology and personal grievance having to
do with issues relating to gender identity and sexual orientation.
He was heavily influenced by what he saw and how
he communicated on the internet, particularly in the gaming culture,
(07:23):
and ultimately he felt that his only recourse was to
commit this target attack. The second part of this, really briefly,
is that this situation and this event is being exploited
by countries like Russia and Iran, and even neo Nazi
groups here in the US and other anti government groups
(07:46):
as a call to action. So we're seeing a lot
of content now being pushed out in the online ecosystem
that is providing false information about this attack, using the
attack as a way to encourage calls for civil war
and other acts of violence. So that's the environment we're
(08:07):
in right now, and that's how this situation is playing
into the broader threat environment.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
So what is your reaction then, to the Guardians reporting
that a DOJ study on the on domestic terrorism pointing
to far right extremists as the deadliest threat was removed
from public view. Did that happen or what are your
thoughts on that?
Speaker 9 (08:27):
So, I mean, I've been in law enforcement and homeland
security for over four decades, and you know, law enforcement
has to operate in the real world. The real world
is that we have seen acts of targeted violence by
those motivated by far right ideological beliefs, and we've seen
acts of target violence by those motivated by what I
would call extreme left or other ideological beliefs. We've seen
(08:50):
elected officials recently to elected officials and their spouses were
targeted in Minnesota by individuals who expressed far right view
by an individual who express far right views. And we've
seen the presidential candidate and current president and personas like
Charlie Kirk target as well. So to sit here, and
(09:13):
you know, from a law enforcement perspective, you know, it
doesn't really matter what one's ideological view is. What matters
is that they are engaging in violent or criminal activity.
And we're seeing that directed at all parts of the
political spectrum.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
So what can be done to restore public trust if anything,
when it comes to the government's handling of domestic terrorism
and data? And you know, unity is that even a possibility?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Now?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I mean, everybody feels just so extremely angry all the time.
Speaker 9 (09:47):
Yeah, I mean, I think you've just hit on a
key part of the issue. And look, I'm off and
called depressing, you know, And I recognize that PBI am
at times. But there is a lot of good news,
you know. At the same time that this attack occurred,
we saw in Pierce County, Washington, law enforcement officials become
(10:08):
aware of a threat to quickly investigate that threat and
stop what they believe was about a pending mass shooting.
So what this requires is basically three areas of activity.
One we need law enforcement needs to change the playbook,
and in many cases, state and local law enforcement organizations
like the LAPD and LA County Sheriffs are leading the
way in this type of work, where they are better
(10:30):
understanding the role of the Internet plays in inspiring violence
or providing information about a pending attack. They are incorporating
that analysis into their violence prevention activities. They're linking law
enforcement with mental health professionals so that they can evaluate
the risk of people who pop up on the radar
screen because these people always exhibit behaviors prior to the
(10:51):
attack that cause concern and very often are reported. So
law enforcement has to have the tools in order to
assess the risks. Second is mental health. Almost all of
these attackers are facing behavioral health challenges. We need resources
available so that when law enforcement does identify somebody in
need of help, they can get them the help they need.
(11:12):
And then, finally, to your point, we really need to
ratchet down the intensity and the violence that has become
very inherent in our political narratives. You can disagree with somebody,
you can be vehement and passionate about expressing your views.
You should be willing to debate people, but you don't
have to hate or believe that they're the enemy and
(11:33):
call for violence against them. And that's going to only
come when we as the general public, demand of our
public officials that they play their role as well.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I think that is a great point.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
It's almost like we need leadership who will step up
and say everyone calm down, everyone just say good breath.
You know a lot of people who listen to our station,
we sometimes get the raw end of the deal there
or their frustration because they'll call it and they'll vent
out their anger and frustration on us here. Because we're
reporting the stories and we're sharing the stories and information.
(12:07):
That's happening, and you almost just want to tell people
like it's okay, We're going to be okay, Like just
take a breath and we'll get through this. But John,
I wish we had so much more time to talk
about this. I find this to be a fascinating subject
than something people need to be aware of in their
own communities and daily lives. So thank you so much,
and hopefully we'll talk to you again soon.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
My pleasure talking against it.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
All right, let's get back to some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. President
Trump has returned to the US following a short visit
to Britain. King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted a state
dinner for the President and the First Lady Wednesday, and
the President met yesterday with Prime Minister Keir Starmer. They
signed a tech agreement that Trump says aims to bolster
innovation in both countries.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
We work together, and it keeps us together, and I
think it's an unbreakable bond we have.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
At the end of the trip, Trump's helicopter had to
make an unscheduled line due to what the White House
called a minor hydraulic issue. No one was hurt, and
Trump later continued home on Air Force One. Charlie Kirk's
widow has been chosen to lead his Turning Point USA organization.
Erica Kirk was named the CEO yesterday, about a week
after her husband was killed at a college in Utah.
(13:17):
She spoke last week about keeping his work going. If
you thought that my husband's mission was powerful before, you
had no idea. Charlie Kirk co founded Turning Point USA
when he was eighteen and did college campus tours to
engage in conversations. Supporters of Jimmy Kimmel demonstrated outside the
(13:40):
l Capitin Theater in Hollywood and the Walt Disney Studios
in Burbank. They gathered to protest the indefinite suspension of
Kimmel's Late Night show over comments he made about Charlie
Kirk's assassination. The FCC says the comments appeared to be
intentionally misleading. Protesters criticized ABC and President Trump, who many
blamed for suspending Kimmel for the first time in months.
(14:01):
There is widespread rain in SoCal as remnants of Tropical
Storm Mario moved north. Much of the area is under
a flood watch through today, with forecasters warning of heavy downpours, thunderstorms,
and possible flash flooding. Ellie County has imposed a new
policy requiring oversight officials to get approval before making public statements,
posting on social media, or contacting supervisors. Critics say the
(14:25):
move chills independent watchdogs who have exposed deputy misconduct and

Former Vice President Kamala Harris reveals in her new memoir
One hundred and Seven Days thatte Buddha j Eddge was
her first choice for running mate in twenty twenty four.
She writes that having two barriers, two barrier breaking candidates
(14:48):
rather on the ticket was too big of a risk,
so she chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walls instead. Six oh five,
it's handled on the news. President Trump is considering revoking
broadcast licenses for negative cover of him by television networks.
We're going to tell you how he plans to do
it and who is supporting it well. California is moving
closer to final zoned zero rules requiring a five foot
(15:12):
ember resistant buffer around homes in fire zones. Supporters say
it'll save lives and property, but critics warn it could
gut urban tree cover. Here to help us sort it
all out is Dean Sharp the house whisper, good morning.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Dean, Good morning, Heather. The roles have reversed.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
It's like now I'm going to be talking to you
and asking you questions.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Go for it. I'm thrilled, I'm thrilled. I love this.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Okay, so let's just jump right in here. For homeowners
who have never heard the term before, what exactly is
zone zero and why is it being proposed?
Speaker 10 (15:47):
Zone zero is a term that has become more kind
of solidified over the last few years in the minds
of those who are concerned about fire vulnerability for house
and zone zero and we're counting zones of vulnerability out
from the wall of your house out to the edge
of your property. Zone zero is the first zone. It
(16:09):
is the first five feet from the exterior wall of
your house outward, the first five feet around your entire house.
It is, without question, the most vulnerable and the most
important area to deal with, especially when it comes to
embers floating through the air from a local wildfire. Because
(16:29):
it has been established by research again and again and
again that it is those embers that are most likely
to ignite a home, not the fire line of where
the fire actually is, but sometimes up to a couple
miles away, embers igniting homes in neighborhoods. And that's why,
you know, when we see wildfire coverage, we're watching the
(16:52):
wildfire up on the hillsides and burning through and then
all of a sudden, oh, there's a house on fire
in a local neighborhood. Well how did that happen? Because
embers from that fire are floating through the air and
most likely getting into somebody's attics. So zone zero very
very important. I want to make it really clear to
our listeners that I am entirely in support of protecting
(17:14):
zone zero, although I have some serious concerns about this
new zone zero policy that's very quickly sliding in. It
looks like it could get approved and applied to all
of California, especially southern California, in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Okay, so let's talk about some of the concerns that
people are raising. So they say that zone zero could
decimate urban tree canopies without release stopping any major fires.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
And do you think that's a valid concern?
Speaker 10 (17:43):
I do think it's a valid concern. I think it's
a very valid concern because when we think about the
idea of like, well, listen, within that first five feet
zone zero. This new policy, by the way, is the
idea is removing all combustible materials in the first five feet,
including plants. And that's easier said than done. For most
(18:05):
Southern California homes, especially older homes, lower income homes. On
smaller pieces of property, you may have feature trees in
that first five feet that have been there for a
long long time. Removing tree canopy has never actually been
established by any study as a significant deterrent of fire
(18:27):
spread if the tree canopy is pruned and it's well watered.
In fact, removing any kind of well watered plant material
from your yard has never been confirmed to be a
major cause. Now, could anything catch on fire if a
thousand degree fire arrives at your home. Sure, of course,
of course anything could catch on fire. But the question
(18:50):
is are these plants encouraging the thread of the spread
of fire? Are the actually discouraging at times the spread
of embers? I think a straw argument can be made
that they are discouraging the spread of embers, well watered,
well maintained landscape, and so to make a just a
blanket ruling saying now it doesn't matter with very few exceptions.
(19:13):
We're removing all plant material from within five feet of
the house that has the potential of defoliating a large
part of the urban environment, which environmentally actually pushes us
in the opposite direction. Gives us more heat islands warms up,
our environment, dries things out, makes it more likely for
(19:36):
fires to be willing to spread in the first place.
And that's one of my concerns, just one.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
If the state adopts these rules by the end of
the year, what is your best advice right now to homeowners?
Speaker 10 (19:46):
Well, right now, my best advice is to get informed,
and there are public opportunities to share that the process
is taking place. It's just being very silently moving forward.
There was a what was supposed to be a major gathering,
a major meeting last night in Pasadena about this. And
(20:06):
as I'm asking homeowners have you heard about the zone
zero thing is like, no, I have no idea what
you're talking about. This is going to have a significant
impact on all of us eventually financially. Now, if it
passes the zone zero ordinances are at first only going
to take effect in where the wildlife urban interface areas,
(20:26):
high risk fire zones, and what are called the state
responsibility areas. So I guess it's no wonder that the
state is actually helping to promote this because these are
areas where the state is financially liable for wildfire spread
and for damage. But eventually, according to these ordinances, that
happens first year, and then three years down the road
(20:48):
it suddenly applies to everybody across the board.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Well, it's definitely something that homeowners should be aware of,
and we'll be keeping a close eye on, and I
know that you, as our home expert here, will be
keeping an eye on for everyone. Everybody listened to Home
with Dean Sharp, the house Whisper on KFI Saturday six
to eight and Sunday's nine to noon, and follow him
on social media at Home with Dean and Dean I'll

Speaker 3 (21:16):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Metro is celebrating

Azusa to Pomona. It used to be the gold Line.
Confetti canyons will be fired off later this morning in
Metro's Pomona North station. The extension also has stations in Laverne,
San Dimas, and Glendora. California lawmakers are working to protect
(21:39):
funding for scientific research amid proposed federal cuts by the
Trump administration.
Speaker 11 (21:43):
Senate Bill six oh seven, back by Democrats, would allow
voters to decide in November on issuing twenty three billion
dollars in bonds to create the California Foundation for Science
and Health Research. The foundation would prioritize research on things
like cancer, Alzheimer's, climate change, wildfire prevention, and pandemic preparedness.
If approved, it would provide grants and loans to California
universities and research institutions, especially for projects that have lost
(22:07):
federal funding. Mark Ronner KFI News.

Speaker 9 (23:49):
So this self fulfilling prophecy, if we can't do it,
is coming true because of what we not, you guys,
what the city is doing.

UCLA could be getting back most of the research funding
frozen by the Trump administration.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
On Thursday, a federal judge announced she was inclined to
extend an earlier ruling that ordered the Trump administration to
restore an additional five hundred million dollars in medical research grants.
The grants were frozen after UCLA was accused of anti
semitism in connection with last year's pro Palestinian protests on campus.
US District Judge Rita f Lynn did not make a
formal ruling, but indicated she is leaning toward reversing most
(25:47):
of the funding phrases. The suspended grants involved studies into
Parkinson's disease, cancer treatment, and nerve regeneration. Daniel Martindale, CAFI News.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
It's Friday, so that means there's going to be some
new movies at the box this weekend, But which ones are.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Worth your bucks?
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I want to be the Goat.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Universal's hymn is trying to tackle football's dark side with
a mix of horror and satire, but it never quite
finds its footing. Critics say director Justin Tipping leans on
jump cuts, booming music, and voodoo tropes that feel more
messy than meaningful.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Marlon Wayans give gives.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
It a result in this movie as a fading star
quarterback guiding a young protege, but a lot of reviews
are saying the story spirals into like an incoherent shock
moments instead of sharp commentary.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
You want to go on a bold beautiful journey.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Oh yes we do. Yes, there you go.
Speaker 11 (26:47):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
It's a big, bold, beautiful journey aims for a mainstream
Charlie Kaufman vibe, but it also never quite finds its
emotional core. Through a surprising twist of faith seeing fate,
rather single strangers, Sarah and David get to relive important
moments from their respective pasting, illuminating how they got to
where they are now. So a couple of movie options
(27:10):
for you at the box office this weekend. September is
generally pretty slow when it comes to bigger movies. Studios
are going to start releasing the really big titles coming
in the next few months and getting closer to the holidays,
and we are going to be breaking all of that
down for you. You can listen to my weekly Entertainment
Report every Friday at noon on Gary and Shannon and
(27:30):
my podcast entertain Me with Heather Brooker on KFI AM
six forty dot com or anywhere on.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
The iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Now it's time to get in your business with Bloomberg's
John Tucker.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Good morning, John, Heather, good morning.
Speaker 7 (27:44):
All right, So that after those reviews, I think you're
going to read about.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
I know, right, stay home, this is not the best.
And I also that was after I tried to research
and find like, what are some good movies coming out?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Not many? Not many. I understand Disney exec spoke with
Jimmy kill what's going on?
Speaker 7 (28:01):
Yeah, they had this was last night. They held talks
with Jimmy Kimmel last night discussing the future of his program.
This according to sources telling Bloomberg, they were going to
discuss the next steps for Jimmy Kimmel Alive meantime, and
this is the business aspect of it as well. Following
Kimmel's suspension, searches for cancel Disney Plus hit a twelve
(28:23):
month high. This according to the data from Google Trends,
so elevated search volume for canceling streaming plans often precedes
potential streamer churner subscriber losses for companies. I guess that
would seem kind of obvious.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Yeah, I actually have been seeing a lot of people
posting that they're canceling their Disney subscription, Hulu, all of it,
I wanted to say.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
And we had, we had here in Manhattan, any number
of protests taking place. One of the Disney outlets is
downtown and lots of high schoolers actually showing up.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
But see, oh that is interesting, the youth getting involved.
I guess that's a good thing, you know, instead of
being on their phones.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Speaking of phones, let's talk.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
About the scratches and the issues that are happening with
the new iPhone seventeen.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
They went on sale this morning. A lot of gadget
shappers in China that's where it first went on sale.
They are taking to social media this morning with photos
of scratches on the back of the newly released iPhone
seventeen lineup from Apple. So this potentially mars the launch
of the marquee product from the company. These are the
(29:33):
deep blue variants of the iPhone seventeen Pro and the Promax.
They're exhibiting scuffs and scratches. This comes just after a
few hours of being on display. Of course, this is
Apple's first major hardware read design in years. They're returning
to the aluminum shell and feature what Apple had touted
as the more scratch resistant finish on the back of
(29:56):
the phones.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
So much for that, yeah, well maybe, oh wait another
year to get a new iPhone. Let's talk about car prices.
They're shifting into high gear.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
Oh you want to get well, you have my copy.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
I do.
Speaker 7 (30:10):
I was going to say, if you want to guess
with okay listeners out there, guess the what the average
price of a new car is and keep that in mind.
Car price is shifting into higher gear. Yes, the higher
price of a new vehicle now hovering around forty nine
thousand dollars. It's about a third higher than it was
in twenty nineteen. This is data from Co's Automotive much
(30:34):
of the recent auto inflation. You can tie this directly
to options and add ons. Last year, the average car
sold for one third more than the average starting price.
A lot of buyers either didn't want the bare bones
based models or couldn't find them. I stripped down a car.
It's just I want no extra features, more things to
(30:55):
go wrong.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
All right, I just need my leather seats. That's all
I need. Or plethor I'll even take plus. I want
to skip ahead to one more story before we let
you go. Let's talk about TikTok Don't let them take
away my TikTok.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
Okay, So investor, this is one of the big focus
for investors today. On the phone call between President Trump
and is a Chinese counterpart to Shishianping. In fact, we're
being told it's taking place right now. The conversation promises
to determine the fate of TikTok potentially, I also ease
(31:27):
trade tensions between the two biggest economies. And before I go,
after the record closes that we saw on the major
averages yesterday, heather a Dow futures of forty three s
and P futures right now ten points sire in the
nastic futures up thirty five.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Excellent. Well, I guess that's some good news for investors.
I don't know. Stocks are not my thing. That's your thing.
Speaker 7 (31:51):
Yeah, I would guess that we're on track for another
record close for this Friday. All right, if I were
a beton man.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Sounds good. Enjoy your book this weekend, John, Thank you.
President Trump suggested the FCC should review licenses for television
networks that criticize him, praising FCC Chair Brendan Carr as
a patriot. Please in Mississippi say the death of a
twenty one year old Delta State University student, Trey Reid,
found hanging from a tree on campus earlier this week
(32:20):
has been ruled a suicide, and a massive homeless encampment
in Koreatown dubbed a mini city with its own garden,
and even a tennis court is finally being cleared. We're
just minutes away from handle. On the news this morning,
a man has died on a roller coaster a Universal's
epic universe in Orlando. We're going to tell you what
happened now. I want to take a minute to share
(32:41):
something very personal with you. And I wasn't sure if
I wanted to share this story, but I feel like
it might help some other people who are out there
who may be in a similar situation. September is National
Blood Cancer Awareness Month, and I want to tell you guys,
this is something I've never talked about publicly before, in
(33:03):
order to help raise awareness for those who find themselves
caught between cancer and caregiving.
Speaker 12 (33:09):
Nineteen I got twenty ooh not wrong?
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Would be good today. This is Barbara. She's seventy nine,
has strong opinions, loves gambling. Blackjack is her favorite. What
do you like about gambling? When in moning gave me Too?
And spending time with her twelve year old granddaughter Channing.
Speaker 12 (33:27):
What are you take into accotic horses, English man, I'm
taking normal poses.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
And then she also happens to be my mom, and
with her permission, I can share this. She's faced be
cell lymphoma or non Hodgkins lymphoma not once, but twice.
Speaker 12 (33:42):
They told me in all October of twenty twenty three
that I was it was gone. I was in remission,
but I was glad it was over.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
The first time, her years as a nurse and her
grit as a single mom carried her through. But the
second time, that confidence gave way to something I hadn't
seen before when it came back this second time. You
initially didn't want to pursue treatment.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Why not.
Speaker 12 (34:06):
Just didn't want to go through chemo anymore.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
September is National Blood Cancer Awareness Month. Blood cancers include leukemia, lymphoma,
and my looma.
Speaker 13 (34:14):
Probably fall somewhere. Is probably the fourth or fifth most
common of cancer within the US. You know, Fortunately, blood
cancers don't get as much claim as breast cancer, prostate cancer,
or lung cancer. It's a situation where I think a
lot of people have very little knowledge of it.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Doctor ty Sell Phillips, elymphoma specialists from City of Hope
says blood cancers are the fourth most common cancers in
the US that many people aren't aware of the warning
signs or available treatments.
Speaker 13 (34:42):
Unfortunately, there's no easy screening tool that we can have
for these blood cancers, so we don't typically find them
in most patients until they actually present with a problem.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society says an estimated one point
six million people in the US are living with or
in remission from blood cancers. Phillips says researchers have made
great progress in treating lymphoma, but could do more if
there was greater awareness.
Speaker 13 (35:05):
The marches and the walks are bart far for more
for breast cancer. You can see a couple walks of
prostate cancer, even though almost every man who lives will
get prostact cancer, but all the attention seems to go
to breast cancer. Doesn't give as much attention, even though
it is more common than what people would think.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
When it became clear she couldn't take care of herself
anymore because of the cancer and other health issues, I
moved my mom from Oklahoma to Los Angeles so I
could help.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Where do you want to go? Like the beach?
Speaker 12 (35:29):
Now I want to go to Beverly Hills, and I
want to go to Malibu and the casino.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
They could see, no, definitely.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
What I didn't expect was how quickly the rolls would shift.
Suddenly I was the caregiver, the mother, the daughter, all
at once, that constant tug of war. It's what experts
call the Sandwich generation, and millions of people are right
smack dab in the middle of it.
Speaker 14 (35:52):
The Sandwich generation is typically people who are raising children
under the age of eighteen in their home, and now
they're also managing the care of an aging parent or
an aging elder.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Christy burn Yates is an author and expert on the
Sandwich generation, the group of people, typically women ages forty
to fifty nine, who are raising children while caring for
an aging parent or loved one.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
You're checking on them daily about their medication, or you're
contacting the insurance company, or you're going to the doctor
with them, or you're helping them with the bills or
what have you.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
This is caregiving.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
She says, one way to manage the Sandwich generation is
to be honest with your kids about the challenges you face.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Have you felt like I have not been around as much.
Speaker 6 (36:34):
It definitely makes me realize that you're a lot more
busy than usual. You always say, oh, hold on, I
need to get the story, to get something for grandma
real quick, or I need to check up on grandma.
I understand that and respect that you fully need a
check on your mom. I mean I would too when
you're old, I'd be like.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Is my mom okay? So I totally understand that. I
can tell you.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Our kids are watching us, and when they see us
stressed out and they don't know what it's about, that's
scarier for them than if we were just clear with them,
like this is what's happening.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
After some convincing and another nine months of chemo.
Speaker 12 (37:08):
They told me I was in remission again. I'm feeling
better and I'm getting I'm doing more activities.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
And how does it feel to have your daughter taking
care of you most of the time.
Speaker 12 (37:20):
I'm glad you do because I feel safe when I'm
with you. I trust you to not let me fall
and help me with things, and.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
I buy you snacks that you're not supposed to have.
Speaker 12 (37:31):
Yeah, snacks are always good.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Here's the truth. Life in this Sandwich generation is a gamble.
It's messy, stressful, and sometimes it hurts. My mom has
beaten cancer twice. Proof the odds don't always win. The
real victory is staying in the game.
Speaker 5 (37:50):
Twenty one Oh my daughter breath.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Wo Heather Brooker kf I News. So this was a
I'm gonna trying not to cry and tear up a
little bit. This was a difficult story for me to write,
but also one that I hope people found some hope
in and some inspiration. If you have somebody in your
life that's dealing with cancer, ooh, I'm gonna try not
(38:16):
to cry on a Friday at six. If you have
someone in your life that is dealing with cancer and
you're feeling overwhelmed, I want to encourage you to go
to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, check out some information there,
reach out to help. If there's one thing I learned
of putting this story together, it's that you cannot do
this alone. If you're a caregiver and caring for someone
(38:38):
who is older, create a village, seek out people who
can help you. It will truly make a difference in
your life. Don't be afraid to ask for help. So
thank you to everybody for listening and letting me share
my story, and I hope it brought a little bit
of joy and hope into your day on this Friday.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
So before I make myself cry or make anybody else cry,
we are going to wrap up this edition of wake
