Speaker 2 (00:10):
KFI had KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
It's time for your morning wake up call.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Here's Amy King.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
This is your wake up call for Wednesday, November fifth.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
It's five o'clock straight out. Good morning. I'm Amy King.
Busy day, election day.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I don't know about you, but I am obsessed with
election results. So I just sit there when they start
coming in and watch them do all the analysis.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
I guess that's why they do it, because we're obsessed
with her.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Right, interesting stuff, interesting stuff. Roads might be a little
bit soggy, might have some drizzle this morning.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Otherwise she's kind of a cloudy, icky day.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Here's what's ahead on wake up call this Wednesday morning.
Voters in California have overwhelmingly approved Proposition fifty, which allows
Democratic lawmakers to redraw congressional district maps in favor of Democrats.
Assemblyman David Tanga Pi Tangipa is called passage of Prop
fifty a sad day because the people of California have
(01:29):
been lied to. As he put it, Governor Newsom says
tonight after poking the bear this bear roar.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Have more from Newsom in just a minute.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Apparently, homelessness is no longer an emergency in La. Mayor
Bass has lifted her declaration of a local emergency on
homelessness made on her first day in office. She said
that while the crisis persists, the city now has the
tools in place to continue taking action to combat it.
Bass claims the number of people living on the street
has dropped seventeen percent in the city. Lax officials have
(01:58):
worn there could be major travel delays for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Airport officials say Thanksgiving could be one of the most
disrupted travel weeks Lax the scene in years. If the
government shutdown continues, ABC's Sam Sweeney's going to join us
to tell us about how bad things could get all
over the US if lawmakers don't get the government reopen.
(02:19):
That's going to come up in about three minutes. Some
new tricks to try with the new iOS updates. KTLA's
tech reporter Rich Demiro is going to join us to
tell us about that. Also, what's app with the Apple
Watch and an all new, totally fake social media platform?
Speaker 4 (02:36):
What could possibly go wrong? Want to get a dog,
don't want.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
To deal with the shoes that get eaten, the potty training,
learning how to sit and stay Pasadena means Kevin McManus
is going to join us to tell us about some
adult pets up for adoption and how you can get
one and not have to pay for it. Also, Amy's
on it checking out stuff on the stream. I took
a recommendation from kfi's host of How to Money, Joe Larsgard,
(03:01):
and I have experienced a super fun international series. It's
kind of like a Hallmark movie on steroids. I tell
you about that coming up at the bottom of the hour.
Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. California voters have
passed Proposition fifty. The ballot proposition would allow Democrats to
(03:22):
redraw the state's congressional district map to favor Democrats. Governor
Newsom has praised the win as a victory for Democrats
and for the country after other redistricting attempts around the US.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
What a night for the Democratic Party, A party that
is in its ascendancy, a party that's on its toes,
no longer on its heels.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Opponents say fifty sets up one of the most extreme
partisan jerry manders in modern American history and is a
threat to democracy and fair elections. In California, Republican Assemblyman
Karl Demayo San Diego says his party failed last night.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
The Californy Republican Party needs to be shaken to its
core and held accountable for their lackluster, pathetic, anemic, off
message campaign against Prop fifty.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Okay, but how do you really feel?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Prop fifty put on the ballot after Texas changed its
congressional maps at the urging of President Trump, that is
giving Republicans five more seats. President Trump reportedly preparing to
sign an executive order have targeting states like California that
predominantly use mail in ballots. He says vote by mail
policies are under legal and criminal review. As voters went
(04:33):
to the polls in California to design on Prop fifty,
they were asked about their views on the state of
affairs in the country. ABC's Alex Stone says they're not
happy about how things are going.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
By a wide margin, more California voters said the economy
was the most important issue facing the state. Under two
and ten said immigration was the most important issue, and
one in six said healthcare.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
He says roughly a quarter said they are dissatisfied with
the way things are going in the country, but are
not angry about it.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
A woman who police say could be an arsonist has
been rescued from a rock quarry in the San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
The forty year old woman was found one hundred and
fifty feet down the rock quarry in Pucoima at about
eleven am on Tuesday. After about five hours, she managed
to climb out with some assistance. It's not clear why
she was in a rock quarry, but now she's being
treated in the hospital in an unknown condition. The Los
Angeles Police Department says she's a possible arsen suspect, but
(05:27):
they won't elaborate. Mark Mayfield KFI News.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Now might be a good time to send your kids
to the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Marvel Studios president
Kevin Feige has made a major donation to establish a
new division of film and TV production. The school has
not disclosed the amount of the gift. Feigee graduated from USC.
His movies have grossed over thirty two billion dollars worldwide.
(05:51):
Let's say good morning now to ABC's Sam Sweeney. Sam,
I just flew last weekend and I was one of
the lucky ones no delays.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
But that's not the case for everyone.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
I know.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
My friend's flight was delayed like an hour and a half, and.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
The Department of Transportation has a warning for travelers if
this government shutdown doesn't end.
Speaker 8 (06:10):
Yeah, you were one of the lucky ones, Damie. This
is really a game of Russian roulette. You don't know
when it's going to pop up, where it's going to
pop up. It's all based on sick calls for air
traffic controllers and now TSA agents. As this shutdown continues
and goes on, more and more of these air traffic
controllers are calling in sick. And when you don't have
enough controllers, you have to limit the amount of planes
(06:32):
in the air, and to do that, you either delay
or you cancel flights. And the Department believes that by
next week it could be bad enough that they're going
to have to shut down parts of the airspace because
they won't have enough controllers to handle the flights that
would normally fly there.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Okay, so let's dig into that just a little bit
shutting down the airspace, so like taking the Southwest and
just completely closing certain areas of the country.
Speaker 8 (06:59):
Yeah, that is possibility, and it happened in twenty nineteen
during the shutdown. And many credits that with ending this
shutdown on day thirty five, because it was day thirty
three and thirty four, and then of course thirty five
that the controllers started to call in sick and New
York airspace began to be affected. There was portions that
were closed, Flights going in and out of La Guardia
(07:21):
were halted. And that's when some say Donald Trump said, Okay,
enough is enough, Let's get this handled, and the shutdown
ended on day thirty five.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Okay, And as it stands now, Sam, is are there
certain airports that are being affected more like you said,
it's changing day to day because it depends on who
calls out sick. But are they like have we noticed
trends of certain areas that are affected more than others.
Speaker 8 (07:45):
Yeah, there have been Newark and the New York area
airports have been hit the hardest. For example, on Friday,
eighty percent of controllers in the New York area called
in sick. But also, you know, the southern California. Traycon
has been a big factor here. That's the center that
brings in traffic into a number of the different airports
(08:06):
across the southern California area. Also in northern California, the
center that brings in flights into San Francisco, Oakland, parts
of southern Oregon has been affected. You know, one of
the big misconceptions is that air traffic controllers all work
in the towers at the airport, and that's not the case.
You have air traffic control centers around the country, or
twenty two of them, and they handle all of the
(08:28):
air traffic above eighteen thousand feet. So, for example, in
Denver they have Denver Center. Well, that center handles traffic
and parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado. So if
you have a couple of controllers to call in sick
in the Denver Center, it affects large swaths of the country,
thousands of passengers, hundreds if not more airplanes, both commercial
(08:50):
passenger planes and of course cargo.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Okay, and then real quick I would imagine that who
the air traffic control controllers, Union and the airlines are
putting a lot of russure on lawmakers to get this
resolved because it's messing with their business.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
It is, and they are and you know, all the
major airlines have said it's time to come up with
a solution. We can't sustain this anymore. These people, you know,
are not being paid. They don't have money for food.
Some can't afford to pay for childcare, so that's another
reason they're calling in. Some are driving for Uber and Lyft.
Enough is enough, They need to be paid. They're already
working a stressful job six days weeks, often ten hours
(09:27):
a day, and when you add in the stress of
not getting paid, it makes things only that much worse
and that much more dangerous as the days go on.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
All right, ABC, Sam Sweeney, thanks so much for the information.
Are going to keep an eye on this one.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
It is.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I was very lucky because again I didn't have any delays.
I was In fact, my flight into Portland was like
a half an hour early. So but yeah, and with
the holidays coming, I can't imagine that this thing is
going to go on until Thanksgiving. But like, if they
have to do those cancelations, then how far does it
set you back in like how many days? Like if
(10:03):
you cancel everything for a day. How many days does
it take to catch up? Could be a real mess.
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Democratic socialist Zooran
Mamdani is projected to be the winner of New York
City's mayor election. He's a head of independent candidate and
former governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Sliwa Donnie gave a victory speech in Brooklyn last night.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
In this new age we make for ourselves, we will
refuse to allow those who traffic in division and hate
to dept us against one another.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
President Trump has said before the election that he'd probably
cut federal money to New York if Mondani wins. Other
wins for Democrats last night include the race for governor
of New Jersey. Mikey Cheryl beat Republican Jack Chitarelli. In Virginia,
former US Representative Abigail Spanberger has been elected governor over
Republican Lieutenant governor win some Earl Sears. Spanberger will become
(11:01):
the first woman governor of the state. At least seven
people have been killed in a ups plane crash in Louisville, Kentucky.
The cargo plane crashed into a petroleum facility, causing a
massive fire. Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg says it's believed that
the three crew members on the plane were killed, along
with several people on the ground.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
There were three crew members on the plane. The four
that we have confirmed dead or not on the plane.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
The NTSB is investigating the crash.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The Supreme Court will hill hear arguments today on whether
President Trump's tariffs are legal. University of Chicago law professor
Curtis Bradleys's issue is if an emergency law dating back
to the nineteen seventies allows the president to impose certain
tariffs without getting Congress to approve it.
Speaker 9 (11:48):
The core of.
Speaker 10 (11:49):
Their argument is that the imbalance in trade between the
United States and other countries has created a national emergency
for the economy and for national security, and these terriffs
are a needed response.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
The case would have far reaching implications for the economy.
The remains of another hostage in Gaza have been returned
by Hamas. That brings the number of hostage bodies returned
to twenty one. Seven have yet to be returned under
the terms of the ceasefire. The Israeli military says staff
Sergeant e Ti Chen was abducted by Hamas on October
seventh and died when he fell off a tank. His
(12:23):
death was confirmed by the IDEAF nearly six months later.
Hospital officials in Gaza say they've received the bodies of
fifteen Palestinians from Israel. That announcement brings the number of
Palestinian bodies returned to Gaza to two hundred and eighty five.
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day,
but it may not actually be that important for grownups.
Speaker 9 (12:42):
A new study found that adults who skipped breakfast were
just as capable of problem solving and paying attention as
those who ate a meal. People who did miss a
meal did perform a little worse while looking at pictures
of food, which is kind of mean to do to
test subjects and unlikely to happen in other settings. Children,
on the other hands, still get a boost from breakfast.
Study was published in the journal Psychological Bulletin. Mark Ronner KFI.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
News, Oh, Mark Ronner, I mean to showing pictures of
food while they're testing them, I don't. I am a
big believer in breakfast. I didn't used to be, but
I like it. In fact, I'm gonna have smoke meal
In just a moment. I was telling you about my
alma mater, the football team, the Oregon State Beavers, and
how bad they are this year. But they did get
(13:24):
a win on Saturday. But someone hit me up on
the talk back. Apparently I should be looking at things
a little bit differently.
Speaker 10 (13:31):
Heymy be proud.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
The Oregon State Beavers are the PAC twelve champions.
Speaker 10 (13:35):
Maybe the other only other team in the pack golf,
the washing Based State Cougars.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
So be proud.
Speaker 10 (13:42):
Oregon State is the PACT champions.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I am proud, and that's a very good point. But
it's not even the PAC twelve anymore. It's the PAC
two right now, and they may not be the champions
because OSU and Washington State are going to play again
on November twenty ninth, So it might end up being
a tie with the way the Fevers are playing. I
think that's probably more likely than not. LA Mayor Bass
says she thinks the passage of Prop. Fifty is a
(14:07):
check on President Trump. Now that the proposition has passed,
congressional maps that favor Democrats will be used in next
year's House races. For California, those maps will likely mean
five more Democrats will go to Washington. The Orange County
Board of Supervisors has adopted an ordinance that deals with
clearing homeless camps in unincorporated areas. It'll allow the county
(14:29):
to arrest and find homeless people. The ordinance follows the
Supreme Court ruling from last year that lifted a previous
ban on arresting people for sleeping in public spaces when
no shelter beds were available. California has one of the
highest tax burdens in the nation. A State Competitive Tax
Index by the Tax Foundation says the burden is only
(14:49):
higher in New Jersey and New York. The index is
based on different rankings of taxes including income, corporate sales, property,
and unemployment. At six oh five on the News, and
let's just say, I bet what Bill's going to have
a thing or two to say about the passage of Prop.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Fifty.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Let's say good morning now to the host of Rich
on Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter Rich Demiro.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Good morning, Rich, Good morning to you.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
Amy.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Okay, So Apple's got a new iPhone update and there's
some fun little tricks I love.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
I love learning new tricks on my iPhone.
Speaker 11 (15:26):
Yes, and there are a few. And the number one
question I get is do I do the update? And
I know I've gotten a lot of emails from people saying, look,
the last update messed up my battery life. I don't
like the way it looks. But if you stop doing
the updates now, you're not getting all the fixes. And
this is a big one because it's iOS twenty six
point one, so it's the biggest update since they came
out with this new iOS liquid glass. But here's the
(15:49):
funny thing. Apple is sort of admitting that liquid glass
is not for everyone. So there is a new setting.
If you hate liquid glass, there's a new setting under
settings and then display it says liquid glass and you
can now have a tinted mode that basically gets rid
of the transparency. So if you don't like liquid glass
and the way it's see through, go into your settings
(16:11):
after you do the update, go into display and look
for the new liquid glass option and change it to tinted.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Okay, so they're basically saying you can go back to
the old way because we may have screwed up on
this one.
Speaker 11 (16:24):
They may have realized that not everyone likes everything to
be see through because it can be tricky to see.
So that's number one. A couple other little things. Number
two is that you can turn off the lock screen
camera swipe, so if you're always opening up the camera accidentally,
you can turn that off for the first time ever.
That's also in settings. I personally love that feature, so
(16:44):
I'm not turning that off. And then there's a new
slide to stop button instead of the old snooze button
and stop so instead of tapping, now you have to
slide to turn off your alarm completely, which you know
is probably good for those folks like us.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Oh yeah, because I've done that before, where I just
turn the whole thing off and then you're kind of
in trouble.
Speaker 11 (17:07):
It's always my fear, I you know, I don't I've
I've not done that in a long time, but it's
always my fear every single night when I go to sleep.
My god, I'm gonna turn off this alarm and I'm
not gonna I'm never gonna wake up.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
So it's so it's a slide off kind of like
when you want to power off, you have to slide
same thing exactly.
Speaker 11 (17:23):
So it's like a little bit more work, which makes
a lot of sense because you can easily reach over
and like press pause, you know, or or stop by accident.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Okay, so then we'll go from the Apple Phone over
to the Apple Watch.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
What's up with that? Okay? I should say, what's happen?
Speaker 11 (17:40):
I see what you did there?
Speaker 8 (17:43):
I like it?
Speaker 11 (17:44):
Yeah, WhatsApp, you know, messaging app used by billions of
people worldwide. I think is finally on the Apple Watch. Yes,
people love What's Happen? I would I love it In theory,
I wish everyone would use it because I think it's
such a great messaging app because it is to ending cryptid,
It supports messages, it supports calls, and now you can
do all of that right from your wrist. I also
(18:07):
think this is good for kids, because you know a
lot of parents give their kids an Apple Watch with
no phone, and so the fact that you can now
have an option for messaging that's not just I message
is also really nice. But basically Meta is saying that
you could do pretty much everything you do on the app,
you can now do from your wrist, which is much
better than the previous method of Yes, you might be saying, Rich,
(18:30):
I've always gotten WhatsApp notifications on my watch. Those were
just notifications. This is like full support for the app,
so it's all there. Go ahead and download it to
the Apple Watch if you like WhatsApp, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
And so it sounds to me like it's what I
already do have with my Apple Watch, because I do
get pictures and messages, and I can do emojis and stuff.
Speaker 11 (18:54):
With I message. But with WhatsApp, now you're getting full
support for everything. So you can basically do everything you
could do on the phone on the Apple Watch. And
it's all still encrypted, which is really nice.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Okay, and you don't have to have the phone.
Speaker 11 (19:08):
Now, well, I mean if you have cellular. I mean
obviously there's a whole nother yeah thing there.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Okay, all right, So we couldn't go a segment without
talking about AI. And now we've got AI on a
social media platform, and I'm just like going, I got
to hear more about this because it sounds like it's
just a fake social platform.
Speaker 11 (19:30):
Yes, I can't believe you haven't downloaded. You have an iPhone,
You've had it for a month. This is Sora and
I'm not kidding. When we first talked about this, and
I think we talked about it, I didn't see the appeal.
I was like, who is going to download an app
like a social media app filled with deep fakes? And
sure enough, it's actually quite entertaining. This called Sora. It's
(19:50):
been available on the iPhone for a month now it
is finally available on Android. So if you have an
Android phone you've been wanting to try this Sora app,
which is by the way, owned by Open which are
the makers of CHATCHYBT. It's really cool because basically you
can make short videos of anything you want within reason,
and they can include your face and your voice. So
(20:11):
it's just a whole other way of thinking about social
media with these wild kind of circumstances, and you see
your friends in them, and so I mean, me and
my kids just sit there and we make them. And sure,
it's scary that it's all your likeness, but it's also
really interesting what it does.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Okay, so it's sort of like a high tech version
of JibJab.
Speaker 11 (20:32):
Oh my, look at you. Yeah, it's basically an AI
version of JibJab, except you know, your mouth actually moved.
It looks like you like, Okay, I just sit there
and I make videos of like the wildest stuff, and
I'm just like, Okay, that's interesting. It's not one hundred
percent perfect, but it's definitely fun. And you don't need
an invite anymore. You used to need an invite to
get on this thing. So if you want Sora on
(20:52):
your iPhone or Android, go ahead and get it and
see what the craze is all about.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Okay, I think I might have to check it out,
just because it just it also freaks me up because,
like you said, there's nothing real about it.
Speaker 11 (21:02):
It's all ai no, and it takes you a second
to realize. You're like, oh my gosh, people put themselves
in these situations.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Oh it's fake, and so it's fun fake, okay. Host
of rich on Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter,
Rich Dmiro. You can find out what we've been talking
about on his website rich on Tech dot tv, basically
everything that he talks about. You can follow him on
Instagram at rich on Tech, watch him on KTLA. Hear
(21:30):
him right here on rich on Tech every Saturday from
eleven to two.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Thank you, Rich damiro Bye, Amy. All right, talk to
you later.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Voters in California have approved Proposition fifty. The yes vote
is sixty four to thirty five percent now, with almost
seventy percent of district's precincts reporting. Brought fifty will establish
new congressional district maps for the twenty twenty six, twenty eight,
and thirty elections in favor of Democrats. The Democrats already
have a forty three to nine advantage in the state's
(22:00):
House delegation. The Supreme Court's going to hear arguments on
whether or not President Trump's tariffs are legal. The Court
fast tracked the cases. Billions of dollars in tariffs hang
in the balance. The tariffs will stay in place until
the Court makes its decision. President Trump had said that
he might go watch arguments today, but has changed his mind,
saying it would just be a distraction. Amazon is getting
(22:21):
in on the bargain Thanksgiving dinner game. It's going to
offer a twenty five dollars Thanksgiving dinner for five starting
November twelfth. It includes an eight pound butterball, frozen turkey,
plus stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean castrole I Love a
good green bean castrole, pumpkin pie, and more. Walmart says
it's also offering It's Thanksgiving meal basket that'll feed ten
(22:43):
people for forty dollars. At six oh five, it's handle
on the news President Trump blaming election losses on the
government shutdown and due to the fact that he is
not on the balloti au itamis.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
What am I on?
Speaker 1 (23:05):
I'm on the stream because there is so much on
the stream.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
How do you possibly decide what you're going to watch?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
There's TV shows, there's documentaries, there's series, there's movies. And
this week I'm taking my recommendation from Joel Larsgard, the
host of How To Money, because.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
We were talking and he said, oh, I got Netflix.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
We were talking about those subscriptions that you just keep
paying for and whether you're getting your money out of them,
and he said, you ordered Netflix just for this show,
but he hadn't watched it yet. So I thought, well,
I need to know what this show is if it
prompted Joel Larsgard to spend money. It's called Crash Landing
on You. It's on Netflix again. It's a Korean series
(23:48):
from back in twenty nineteen, so I'm not sure where
he got wind of it, but I thought well, I better,
I better give it a look, okay, So and I
go tell you it's it's.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
A Korean series.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
And I'm looking at the names and listening, and they
with the subtitles, the names don't sound to my ears
like they look, so I believe that there it's Dijanyo
and you and Sinri, which are the main characters. She
is a successful businesswoman in South Caro Korea. He is
(24:18):
a captain in the North Korean Army. So she at
the very beginning is testing out one of her new
lines of clothing. So she goes parasailing. She gets sucked
into a storm, and where does she land in North Korea,
which sets off a whole set of circumstances and predicaments.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
He wants to take her in.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Because she runs into him while she's sitting in a tree,
thinking she's probably some kind of a spy. She tries
to run away, and then she does, and then they
keep crashing into each other, crash landing on You get it.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
A very charming cast.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Of characters who you come to know and love, and
in some instances you do really dislike some of the characters,
but that's it's meant that way, right, there's soldiers, there's
people from a village in North Korea. There's fiances, families, employees,
and they all grow on.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
You as they move through the series.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
And I had initially thought it was like a Hallmark
movie on steroids, but I'm going to amend that because
I think that that's what Virgin River is. So this
is more like Virgin River on steroids. So there's a
little more drama, there's some more violence, so it's not
all happy, happy, joy joy. I loved it. It's a
fun watch a couple of things. Each episode is like
(25:39):
one and a half hours. I don't know who decided that,
but the episodes are long, but that's okay, And there
are sixteen episodes, so it's a commitment. It's like an
old time TV show where there's a ton of episodes
instead of just.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Six or eight.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
And it's all subtitled and there's a lot of dialogue,
so you got to pay attention.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
And so what I'm binging shows, I tend to like
move around.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I'm multitask, so I had to keep rewinding and rewinding
and rewatching because you didn't want to miss.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
The dialogue, which is part of the storytelling.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
So when you watch, maybe take a bite sized piece
instead of trying to binge it like I did, and
know that you really do need to park yourself on
the couch and pay attention because again, subtitles totally on this.
I think you should be too. It's called crash Landing
on You and it's on Netflix. Time to get in
your business now with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegriney Morning.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Denise, Good morning Amy. Did crash Landing on You make
you cry?
Speaker 8 (26:35):
It did?
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (26:37):
Yeah, that's what everybody is saying. Of course, it's banned
in North Korea, so that's something else to think about
as you watch this that you know it's about people
connecting in spite of their governments, right, but people in
North Korea can't even watch it.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
So that's too bad.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
It's a fun show and it's lovely, but yeah, it does,
you know, it shows the differences between the North and
the South and that so I get that. I guess
I don't get it personally, but I could see why
North Korea wouldn't want their people to see it. Yeah,
all right, let's have business, shall we. Let's talk about Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
Yeah, there's a whole new economic ecosystem scoring a home run,
you might say, on the.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Back of the Dodgers victory.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Of course, the Dodgers now fork has to be the
first team to exceed two hundred million dollars in annual
sponsorship revenue.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
That's according to sponsor United.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
In others, that is understandable considering their victory and just
the whole you know, critical mass of amazing players that
the Dodgers have. Also, the win is a win for
all the hotels, restaurants and bars getting a lot of
extra business. We knew that already, no surprise, the jerseys
are popular. Then there's the other apparel. Champion T shirts
(27:47):
could see a huge boost in sales and prices on
Shohei Otani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Playing cards are spiking pretty
much any card, yeah, with either of them as selling
for more than it was couple weeks ago. So check
out what you've got on the shelf, in the closet,
in the attic might be worth way more than you think. Course,
Mia I was thinking you could wait till next year
(28:08):
if you've got some of these, when the Dodgers win
again and the three price on some of those Dodgers
baseball cards could go up even more.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
All right, let's look at holiday toys and what Mattel
is doing.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
They say that they have holiday gifts this year for
people looking in just about every price point. They're aware
of the bifurcation in the economy, you know, the whole
thing with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poor,
and the government shutdown isn't helping either.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
They've got a Hot.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
Wheels car for a dollar twenty five and they also
have a seven hundred dollars Hot Wheels set, so they're
kind of pitching two investors that they're ready for this
holiday season. CEO says that Mattel does expect to see
demand pick up now that they're getting closer to the holidays.
And speaking of movies, Yes, yeah, K Pop Demon Hunter's
(28:58):
toys this holiday season. People really want them. It's been
just a massive, unexpected hit for Netflix. But apparently retailers
and toymakers fail to anticipate how much people would love
the movie amy, meaning we will likely see a wave
of K Pop Demon Hunter toys next holiday season instead
of in a couple months. Of course, for Netflix, it's
(29:20):
not a huge problem. In fact, it's the reverse because
K Pop Demon Hunter toys next year just means more
free advertising for whatever streaming spinoffs. Part twos they have
planned is they try to turn K Pop Demon Hunters
into a long term franchise, which they have already said
they're going to do.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
All right, and we'll be watching and we'll be buying.
I'm sure, well, I don't know that I'm going to
buy it K Pop Demon Hunters doll but maybe they
have the packs of three they're supposed.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
To be coming out early next year.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Get in your business every day like we do with
Bloomberg's Denise Pelagrene. We'll do it again tomorrow. Thanks Denise
to you. Then, California is getting new voting districts. Voters
have approved Proposition fifty by a more than sixty to
forty percent margin. Drawing new district lines is expected to
give Democrats five more House seats in the next election.
LA County officials looking into setting up buffer zones around
(30:09):
social services and other county buildings. It's being considered because
solicitors and vendors apparently have been targeting people using county services,
with reports that some are asking for copies of things
like EBT cards, unemployment statements and even wage statements. The
body of an Army private killed in a skydiving accident
will be taken in a procession from John Wayne Airport
(30:30):
to the First United Methodist Church of Costa Mesa today.
The public is encouraged to line the route with American
flags in honor of US Army Private first Class Jake Chandler,
who died October twenty sixth. We're just minutes away from Handle.
On the news this morning, how the state changed the
rules that allows insurance companies not to cover your home.
(30:52):
Let's say good morning now to the director of pr
and Marketing for Pasadena Humane. It's Kevin McManus. Good morning, Kevin,
Good morning, Amy.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
How are you.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
I'm great.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
So, Kevin, you want a pet, you don't want to
deal with potty training, the chewed up shoes and puppies
tearing everything up.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Thank goodness. It's National Senior Pet Adoption Month.
Speaker 8 (31:13):
That's right.
Speaker 12 (31:13):
Yeah, some of my favorite pets are well the seniors
for sure.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Okay, So tell us about what Pasadena Humane is doing
for the Pet Adoption Month.
Speaker 8 (31:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (31:24):
Well, in honor of the month, we're waving adoption fees
for any animal over five years old. So that's dogs, cats,
And I was just looking on our website. We even
have a turtle this morning who's ten, so he would
be no charge adoption this month.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
How long do turtles live?
Speaker 12 (31:42):
They can learn quite a long time. He's probably only
hit in midlife right now.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Okay, and at a very slow pace, at a very
slow pace.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
So tell us in what kind of dogs do you
have available? And maybe ones that are especially good for
potential adoptions because they're no longer puppies.
Speaker 12 (32:00):
Yeah, I mean we have, you know, a pretty wide
variety right now. We have a fifteen year old beagle
who's breaking my heart, and you know, mostly bigger dogs,
but of course we have cats as well, So yeah,
a good just you know, a good variety, okay.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
And I'm thinking of because after being to Pasadena Humane
so many times, which I love going seeing all the
pups and cats like I've seen, like there are huskies,
and when huskies are puppies, they tend to be a
little out of control, so you have to have a
lot of patience in time with them. And so if
you get an adult dog, maybe some of some of
that puppy's been worked out of them.
Speaker 12 (32:42):
Absolutely and you know, not to say that they wouldn't
still be energetic.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
But they are.
Speaker 12 (32:47):
Yeah, that that crazy stage is as well past them.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
And I think you.
Speaker 12 (32:53):
Know a lot of a lot of animals, are a lot
of dogs in particular, end up in shelters because of
behavior issues. You not going to have a behavior issue
with a twelve year old dog. They just want to
like hang out next to you on the couch and
go for a couple of walks a day and just chill.
So great companionship without all of the hard the hard work.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
And when when you adopt through pasading and humane they
they're pretty much primed and ready for adoption.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
What do you do before they head out the door?
Speaker 12 (33:21):
Yeah, any kind of medical that is required, So you know,
if they're not neutered for whatever reason, then we're taking
care of that. We're making sure they're up to date
on vaccines, and generally with our senior pets, we're doing
you know, like at least an initial blood panel. Just
make sure that you know, we know as much about
the pet as we can before rehoming.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Okay, And.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
I was just thinking you mentioned like the older beagle,
and I would think one of the drawbacks. Drawbacks is
that you don't get as long with the animals. So
what's your argument for adopting an older animal?
Speaker 12 (33:59):
You know, I don't know cap with them. Yeah, that's
that's absolutely true. But you know, I think, you know,
the stars for every day I have with all of
the pets that I've had in my life, and you know,
if it's you know, a week that I have with
them or you know, years, it's all blessing. And you know,
(34:21):
it doesn't take much to make a really old dog
or a really old cat really really happy, and so
you're giving them quite a gift by adopting them and
making them part of your home for however long.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
They have least.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Well, I will tell you that I now have a
second cat named Shelby. I got my first cat, Alex,
from Pasadena, I mean, and then we added Shelby to
the family, and she was eleven when I got her,
and she is just an absolute joy. I love love
having her. And I think about it too, because I'm like, oh,
I might not have her for you know, eighteen or
(34:55):
nineteen years, but I get her for four or five years,
or six or seven years, or who knows how long
get her but she's just a joy. So if you're
thinking about adopting exactly, maybe go the adult route and
you can get it in Pasadena Humanes waving all the
fees and that's all month.
Speaker 12 (35:09):
Long, that's correct, Yeah, all right?
Speaker 1 (35:12):
And where do we go and find get some pictures
of pets or where do.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
We go visit?
Speaker 12 (35:17):
Well, if you go to Pasadena Humane dot org, you
can click on adopt pets and you can even filter
by looking just at our senior population right now.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Okay, and also can you just go buy the humans
or do you need.
Speaker 12 (35:32):
To make definitely Nope. We're open daily from nine thirty
to five thirty, and we've now kind of gone completely
back to our old days where people can come in
and walk through at any time and just kind of visit,
which is a great way to connect with a pet
that you want to adopt.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Yes, prepare to fall in love, okay.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Pr and Communications director Kevin McManus with Pasadena Humane. Adopt
a five year old or older dog, cat, or even
a turtle, and they're going to pick up all the
fees and make sure that you have a new forever friend.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
Thanks so much, Kevin, Thank you so much.
Speaker 8 (36:09):
Anny.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
All Right, I always just think that's it's such a
great thing. And like I said, Shelby is I think
she's thirteen now and she's just a little love of
my life every single day.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Yeah, older cat.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
Oh I did it with cats and they were just great.
Speaker 8 (36:22):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Democrats have scored
decisive victories and key races around the country, including in
a historic win for Zoorron Mamdanni, the next mayor of
New York City. ABC's Rick Clein says the races weren't
even close.
Speaker 13 (36:38):
Double digit defeats for Republicans in Virginia, where they still
have a pretty popular incumbent Republican governor, double digits in
New Jersey, and the rise of Zoron Mamdannie, who was
able to defeat some of the biggest names in New
York or national politics.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Abigail Spanberger is going to be Virginia's first female governor.
Mikey Cheryl beat Republican Jack Chitarelli in New Jersey. Governor
Newsom says President Trump is keeping two hundred California National
Guard troops stationed in Oregon that's despite a federal judge's
order that bars the president from deploying the troops. Governor
Newsom says it has made the troops not available to
(37:12):
respond to needs. In California, the La City Council has
moved closer to eliminating fees for the Dine La program.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Twice a year, for two weeks at a time. Restaurants
pay the La Tourism and Convention Board to be part
of dine La, which markets the businesses in a big campaign.
Councilman Isabelle Herodo says she looked for restaurants in her
district that participated, and we.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Were surprised when we learned that there was only one
restaurant in Boyle Heights, one restaurant in Little Tokyo, and
one restaurant in Elsa Dno.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
She says that's because the eight hundred dollars registration fee
is cost prohibitive for smaller businesses. The council has asked
the Tourism Department to figure out how to get rid
of the fees. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
More pet owners are becoming anti vaxers when it comes
to their animals.
Speaker 14 (37:53):
Recent survey says at least twenty two percent of dog
owners and twenty six percent of cat owners could be
classified as vaccine has. Some pet owners even say vaccines
could lead to autism in their pets, calling it pautism.
Dogs can display autistic traits like repetitive actions or communication issues,
but autism is not a recognized diagnosis for knines. The
anti vax group, founded by Health Secretary RFK Junior, recently
(38:16):
published a book saying pet vaccines caused tremendous harm. Experts
say a loosening of animal vax laws will cause a
resurgence of infectious diseases in both pets and people. Michael
Krozer KFI News.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
And a lot of people have switched to Switch. More
than ten million units of Nintendo's Switched to have been
sold since its launched in June. That's compared to less
than two million units of the original device. The company
also said nearly ten million copies of Mario Kart World
and close to three and a half million copies of
the switch to exclusive Donkey Kong Bonanza have been sold.

It's five o'clock straight out. Good morning. I'm Amy King.
Busy day, election day.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I don't know about you, but I am obsessed with
election results. So I just sit there when they start
coming in and watch them do all the analysis.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
I guess that's why they do it, because we're obsessed
with her.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Right, interesting stuff, interesting stuff. Roads might be a little
bit soggy, might have some drizzle this morning.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Otherwise she's kind of a cloudy, icky day.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Here's what's ahead on wake up call this Wednesday morning.
Voters in California have overwhelmingly approved Proposition fifty, which allows
Democratic lawmakers to redraw congressional district maps in favor of Democrats.
Assemblyman David Tanga Pi Tangipa is called passage of Prop
fifty a sad day because the people of California have
(01:29):
been lied to. As he put it, Governor Newsom says
tonight after poking the bear this bear roar.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Have more from Newsom in just a minute.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Apparently, homelessness is no longer an emergency in La. Mayor
Bass has lifted her declaration of a local emergency on
homelessness made on her first day in office. She said
that while the crisis persists, the city now has the
tools in place to continue taking action to combat it.
Bass claims the number of people living on the street
has dropped seventeen percent in the city. Lax officials have
(01:58):
worn there could be major travel delays for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Airport officials say Thanksgiving could be one of the most
disrupted travel weeks Lax the scene in years. If the
government shutdown continues, ABC's Sam Sweeney's going to join us
to tell us about how bad things could get all
over the US if lawmakers don't get the government reopen.
(02:19):
That's going to come up in about three minutes. Some
new tricks to try with the new iOS updates. KTLA's
tech reporter Rich Demiro is going to join us to
tell us about that. Also, what's app with the Apple
Watch and an all new, totally fake social media platform?
Speaker 4 (02:36):
What could possibly go wrong? Want to get a dog,
don't want.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
To deal with the shoes that get eaten, the potty training,
learning how to sit and stay Pasadena means Kevin McManus
is going to join us to tell us about some
adult pets up for adoption and how you can get
one and not have to pay for it. Also, Amy's
on it checking out stuff on the stream. I took
a recommendation from kfi's host of How to Money, Joe Larsgard,
(03:01):
and I have experienced a super fun international series. It's
kind of like a Hallmark movie on steroids. I tell
you about that coming up at the bottom of the hour.
Let's get started with some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. California voters have
passed Proposition fifty. The ballot proposition would allow Democrats to
(03:22):
redraw the state's congressional district map to favor Democrats. Governor
Newsom has praised the win as a victory for Democrats
and for the country after other redistricting attempts around the US.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
What a night for the Democratic Party, A party that
is in its ascendancy, a party that's on its toes,
no longer on its heels.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Opponents say fifty sets up one of the most extreme
partisan jerry manders in modern American history and is a
threat to democracy and fair elections. In California, Republican Assemblyman
Karl Demayo San Diego says his party failed last night.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
The Californy Republican Party needs to be shaken to its
core and held accountable for their lackluster, pathetic, anemic, off
message campaign against Prop fifty.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Okay, but how do you really feel?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Prop fifty put on the ballot after Texas changed its
congressional maps at the urging of President Trump, that is
giving Republicans five more seats. President Trump reportedly preparing to
sign an executive order have targeting states like California that
predominantly use mail in ballots. He says vote by mail
policies are under legal and criminal review. As voters went
(04:33):
to the polls in California to design on Prop fifty,
they were asked about their views on the state of
affairs in the country. ABC's Alex Stone says they're not
happy about how things are going.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
By a wide margin, more California voters said the economy
was the most important issue facing the state. Under two
and ten said immigration was the most important issue, and
one in six said healthcare.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
He says roughly a quarter said they are dissatisfied with
the way things are going in the country, but are
not angry about it.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
A woman who police say could be an arsonist has
been rescued from a rock quarry in the San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
The forty year old woman was found one hundred and
fifty feet down the rock quarry in Pucoima at about
eleven am on Tuesday. After about five hours, she managed
to climb out with some assistance. It's not clear why
she was in a rock quarry, but now she's being
treated in the hospital in an unknown condition. The Los
Angeles Police Department says she's a possible arsen suspect, but
(05:27):
they won't elaborate. Mark Mayfield KFI News.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Now might be a good time to send your kids
to the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Marvel Studios president
Kevin Feige has made a major donation to establish a
new division of film and TV production. The school has
not disclosed the amount of the gift. Feigee graduated from USC.
His movies have grossed over thirty two billion dollars worldwide.
(05:51):
Let's say good morning now to ABC's Sam Sweeney. Sam,
I just flew last weekend and I was one of
the lucky ones no delays.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
But that's not the case for everyone.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
I know.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
My friend's flight was delayed like an hour and a half, and.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
The Department of Transportation has a warning for travelers if
this government shutdown doesn't end.
Speaker 8 (06:10):
Yeah, you were one of the lucky ones, Damie. This
is really a game of Russian roulette. You don't know
when it's going to pop up, where it's going to
pop up. It's all based on sick calls for air
traffic controllers and now TSA agents. As this shutdown continues
and goes on, more and more of these air traffic
controllers are calling in sick. And when you don't have
enough controllers, you have to limit the amount of planes
(06:32):
in the air, and to do that, you either delay
or you cancel flights. And the Department believes that by
next week it could be bad enough that they're going
to have to shut down parts of the airspace because
they won't have enough controllers to handle the flights that
would normally fly there.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Okay, so let's dig into that just a little bit
shutting down the airspace, so like taking the Southwest and
just completely closing certain areas of the country.
Speaker 8 (06:59):
Yeah, that is possibility, and it happened in twenty nineteen
during the shutdown. And many credits that with ending this
shutdown on day thirty five, because it was day thirty
three and thirty four, and then of course thirty five
that the controllers started to call in sick and New
York airspace began to be affected. There was portions that
were closed, Flights going in and out of La Guardia
(07:21):
were halted. And that's when some say Donald Trump said, Okay,
enough is enough, Let's get this handled, and the shutdown
ended on day thirty five.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Okay, And as it stands now, Sam, is are there
certain airports that are being affected more like you said,
it's changing day to day because it depends on who
calls out sick. But are they like have we noticed
trends of certain areas that are affected more than others.
Speaker 8 (07:45):
Yeah, there have been Newark and the New York area
airports have been hit the hardest. For example, on Friday,
eighty percent of controllers in the New York area called
in sick. But also, you know, the southern California. Traycon
has been a big factor here. That's the center that
brings in traffic into a number of the different airports
(08:06):
across the southern California area. Also in northern California, the
center that brings in flights into San Francisco, Oakland, parts
of southern Oregon has been affected. You know, one of
the big misconceptions is that air traffic controllers all work
in the towers at the airport, and that's not the case.
You have air traffic control centers around the country, or
twenty two of them, and they handle all of the
(08:28):
air traffic above eighteen thousand feet. So, for example, in
Denver they have Denver Center. Well, that center handles traffic
and parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado. So if
you have a couple of controllers to call in sick
in the Denver Center, it affects large swaths of the country,
thousands of passengers, hundreds if not more airplanes, both commercial
(08:50):
passenger planes and of course cargo.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Okay, and then real quick I would imagine that who
the air traffic control controllers, Union and the airlines are
putting a lot of russure on lawmakers to get this
resolved because it's messing with their business.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
It is, and they are and you know, all the
major airlines have said it's time to come up with
a solution. We can't sustain this anymore. These people, you know,
are not being paid. They don't have money for food.
Some can't afford to pay for childcare, so that's another
reason they're calling in. Some are driving for Uber and Lyft.
Enough is enough, They need to be paid. They're already
working a stressful job six days weeks, often ten hours
(09:27):
a day, and when you add in the stress of
not getting paid, it makes things only that much worse
and that much more dangerous as the days go on.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
All right, ABC, Sam Sweeney, thanks so much for the information.
Are going to keep an eye on this one.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
It is.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I was very lucky because again I didn't have any delays.
I was In fact, my flight into Portland was like
a half an hour early. So but yeah, and with
the holidays coming, I can't imagine that this thing is
going to go on until Thanksgiving. But like, if they
have to do those cancelations, then how far does it
set you back in like how many days? Like if
(10:03):
you cancel everything for a day. How many days does
it take to catch up? Could be a real mess.
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Democratic socialist Zooran
Mamdani is projected to be the winner of New York
City's mayor election. He's a head of independent candidate and
former governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Sliwa Donnie gave a victory speech in Brooklyn last night.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
In this new age we make for ourselves, we will
refuse to allow those who traffic in division and hate
to dept us against one another.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
President Trump has said before the election that he'd probably
cut federal money to New York if Mondani wins. Other
wins for Democrats last night include the race for governor
of New Jersey. Mikey Cheryl beat Republican Jack Chitarelli. In Virginia,
former US Representative Abigail Spanberger has been elected governor over
Republican Lieutenant governor win some Earl Sears. Spanberger will become
(11:01):
the first woman governor of the state. At least seven
people have been killed in a ups plane crash in Louisville, Kentucky.
The cargo plane crashed into a petroleum facility, causing a
massive fire. Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg says it's believed that
the three crew members on the plane were killed, along
with several people on the ground.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
There were three crew members on the plane. The four
that we have confirmed dead or not on the plane.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
The NTSB is investigating the crash.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The Supreme Court will hill hear arguments today on whether
President Trump's tariffs are legal. University of Chicago law professor
Curtis Bradleys's issue is if an emergency law dating back
to the nineteen seventies allows the president to impose certain
tariffs without getting Congress to approve it.
Speaker 9 (11:48):
The core of.
Speaker 10 (11:49):
Their argument is that the imbalance in trade between the
United States and other countries has created a national emergency
for the economy and for national security, and these terriffs
are a needed response.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
The case would have far reaching implications for the economy.
The remains of another hostage in Gaza have been returned
by Hamas. That brings the number of hostage bodies returned
to twenty one. Seven have yet to be returned under
the terms of the ceasefire. The Israeli military says staff
Sergeant e Ti Chen was abducted by Hamas on October
seventh and died when he fell off a tank. His
(12:23):
death was confirmed by the IDEAF nearly six months later.
Hospital officials in Gaza say they've received the bodies of
fifteen Palestinians from Israel. That announcement brings the number of
Palestinian bodies returned to Gaza to two hundred and eighty five.
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day,
but it may not actually be that important for grownups.
Speaker 9 (12:42):
A new study found that adults who skipped breakfast were
just as capable of problem solving and paying attention as
those who ate a meal. People who did miss a
meal did perform a little worse while looking at pictures
of food, which is kind of mean to do to
test subjects and unlikely to happen in other settings. Children,
on the other hands, still get a boost from breakfast.
Study was published in the journal Psychological Bulletin. Mark Ronner KFI.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
News, Oh, Mark Ronner, I mean to showing pictures of
food while they're testing them, I don't. I am a
big believer in breakfast. I didn't used to be, but
I like it. In fact, I'm gonna have smoke meal
In just a moment. I was telling you about my
alma mater, the football team, the Oregon State Beavers, and
how bad they are this year. But they did get
(13:24):
a win on Saturday. But someone hit me up on
the talk back. Apparently I should be looking at things
a little bit differently.
Speaker 10 (13:31):
Heymy be proud.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
The Oregon State Beavers are the PAC twelve champions.
Speaker 10 (13:35):
Maybe the other only other team in the pack golf,
the washing Based State Cougars.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
So be proud.
Speaker 10 (13:42):
Oregon State is the PACT champions.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
I am proud, and that's a very good point. But
it's not even the PAC twelve anymore. It's the PAC
two right now, and they may not be the champions
because OSU and Washington State are going to play again
on November twenty ninth, So it might end up being
a tie with the way the Fevers are playing. I
think that's probably more likely than not. LA Mayor Bass
says she thinks the passage of Prop. Fifty is a
(14:07):
check on President Trump. Now that the proposition has passed,
congressional maps that favor Democrats will be used in next
year's House races. For California, those maps will likely mean
five more Democrats will go to Washington. The Orange County
Board of Supervisors has adopted an ordinance that deals with
clearing homeless camps in unincorporated areas. It'll allow the county
(14:29):
to arrest and find homeless people. The ordinance follows the
Supreme Court ruling from last year that lifted a previous
ban on arresting people for sleeping in public spaces when
no shelter beds were available. California has one of the
highest tax burdens in the nation. A State Competitive Tax
Index by the Tax Foundation says the burden is only
(14:49):
higher in New Jersey and New York. The index is
based on different rankings of taxes including income, corporate sales, property,
and unemployment. At six oh five on the News, and
let's just say, I bet what Bill's going to have
a thing or two to say about the passage of Prop.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Fifty.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Let's say good morning now to the host of Rich
on Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter Rich Demiro.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Good morning, Rich, Good morning to you.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
Amy.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Okay, So Apple's got a new iPhone update and there's
some fun little tricks I love.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
I love learning new tricks on my iPhone.
Speaker 11 (15:26):
Yes, and there are a few. And the number one
question I get is do I do the update? And
I know I've gotten a lot of emails from people saying, look,
the last update messed up my battery life. I don't
like the way it looks. But if you stop doing
the updates now, you're not getting all the fixes. And
this is a big one because it's iOS twenty six
point one, so it's the biggest update since they came
out with this new iOS liquid glass. But here's the
(15:49):
funny thing. Apple is sort of admitting that liquid glass
is not for everyone. So there is a new setting.
If you hate liquid glass, there's a new setting under
settings and then display it says liquid glass and you
can now have a tinted mode that basically gets rid
of the transparency. So if you don't like liquid glass
and the way it's see through, go into your settings
(16:11):
after you do the update, go into display and look
for the new liquid glass option and change it to tinted.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Okay, so they're basically saying you can go back to
the old way because we may have screwed up on
this one.
Speaker 11 (16:24):
They may have realized that not everyone likes everything to
be see through because it can be tricky to see.
So that's number one. A couple other little things. Number
two is that you can turn off the lock screen
camera swipe, so if you're always opening up the camera accidentally,
you can turn that off for the first time ever.
That's also in settings. I personally love that feature, so
(16:44):
I'm not turning that off. And then there's a new
slide to stop button instead of the old snooze button
and stop so instead of tapping, now you have to
slide to turn off your alarm completely, which you know
is probably good for those folks like us.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Oh yeah, because I've done that before, where I just
turn the whole thing off and then you're kind of
in trouble.
Speaker 11 (17:07):
It's always my fear, I you know, I don't I've
I've not done that in a long time, but it's
always my fear every single night when I go to sleep.
My god, I'm gonna turn off this alarm and I'm
not gonna I'm never gonna wake up.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
So it's so it's a slide off kind of like
when you want to power off, you have to slide
same thing exactly.
Speaker 11 (17:23):
So it's like a little bit more work, which makes
a lot of sense because you can easily reach over
and like press pause, you know, or or stop by accident.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Okay, so then we'll go from the Apple Phone over
to the Apple Watch.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
What's up with that? Okay? I should say, what's happen?
Speaker 11 (17:40):
I see what you did there?
Speaker 8 (17:43):
I like it?
Speaker 11 (17:44):
Yeah, WhatsApp, you know, messaging app used by billions of
people worldwide. I think is finally on the Apple Watch. Yes,
people love What's Happen? I would I love it In theory,
I wish everyone would use it because I think it's
such a great messaging app because it is to ending cryptid,
It supports messages, it supports calls, and now you can
do all of that right from your wrist. I also
(18:07):
think this is good for kids, because you know a
lot of parents give their kids an Apple Watch with
no phone, and so the fact that you can now
have an option for messaging that's not just I message
is also really nice. But basically Meta is saying that
you could do pretty much everything you do on the app,
you can now do from your wrist, which is much
better than the previous method of Yes, you might be saying, Rich,
(18:30):
I've always gotten WhatsApp notifications on my watch. Those were
just notifications. This is like full support for the app,
so it's all there. Go ahead and download it to
the Apple Watch if you like WhatsApp, okay.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
And so it sounds to me like it's what I
already do have with my Apple Watch, because I do
get pictures and messages, and I can do emojis and stuff.
Speaker 11 (18:54):
With I message. But with WhatsApp, now you're getting full
support for everything. So you can basically do everything you
could do on the phone on the Apple Watch. And
it's all still encrypted, which is really nice.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Okay, and you don't have to have the phone.
Speaker 11 (19:08):
Now, well, I mean if you have cellular. I mean
obviously there's a whole nother yeah thing there.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Okay, all right, So we couldn't go a segment without
talking about AI. And now we've got AI on a
social media platform, and I'm just like going, I got
to hear more about this because it sounds like it's
just a fake social platform.
Speaker 11 (19:30):
Yes, I can't believe you haven't downloaded. You have an iPhone,
You've had it for a month. This is Sora and
I'm not kidding. When we first talked about this, and
I think we talked about it, I didn't see the appeal.
I was like, who is going to download an app
like a social media app filled with deep fakes? And
sure enough, it's actually quite entertaining. This called Sora. It's
(19:50):
been available on the iPhone for a month now it
is finally available on Android. So if you have an
Android phone you've been wanting to try this Sora app,
which is by the way, owned by Open which are
the makers of CHATCHYBT. It's really cool because basically you
can make short videos of anything you want within reason,
and they can include your face and your voice. So
(20:11):
it's just a whole other way of thinking about social
media with these wild kind of circumstances, and you see
your friends in them, and so I mean, me and
my kids just sit there and we make them. And sure,
it's scary that it's all your likeness, but it's also
really interesting what it does.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Okay, so it's sort of like a high tech version
of JibJab.
Speaker 11 (20:32):
Oh my, look at you. Yeah, it's basically an AI
version of JibJab, except you know, your mouth actually moved.
It looks like you like, Okay, I just sit there
and I make videos of like the wildest stuff, and
I'm just like, Okay, that's interesting. It's not one hundred
percent perfect, but it's definitely fun. And you don't need
an invite anymore. You used to need an invite to
get on this thing. So if you want Sora on
(20:52):
your iPhone or Android, go ahead and get it and
see what the craze is all about.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Okay, I think I might have to check it out,
just because it just it also freaks me up because,
like you said, there's nothing real about it.
Speaker 11 (21:02):
It's all ai no, and it takes you a second
to realize. You're like, oh my gosh, people put themselves
in these situations.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Oh it's fake, and so it's fun fake, okay. Host
of rich on Tech on KFI. It's KTLA's tech reporter,
Rich Dmiro. You can find out what we've been talking
about on his website rich on Tech dot tv, basically
everything that he talks about. You can follow him on
Instagram at rich on Tech, watch him on KTLA. Hear
(21:30):
him right here on rich on Tech every Saturday from
eleven to two.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Thank you, Rich damiro Bye, Amy. All right, talk to
you later.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Voters in California have approved Proposition fifty. The yes vote
is sixty four to thirty five percent now, with almost
seventy percent of district's precincts reporting. Brought fifty will establish
new congressional district maps for the twenty twenty six, twenty eight,
and thirty elections in favor of Democrats. The Democrats already
have a forty three to nine advantage in the state's
(22:00):
House delegation. The Supreme Court's going to hear arguments on
whether or not President Trump's tariffs are legal. The Court
fast tracked the cases. Billions of dollars in tariffs hang
in the balance. The tariffs will stay in place until
the Court makes its decision. President Trump had said that
he might go watch arguments today, but has changed his mind,
saying it would just be a distraction. Amazon is getting
(22:21):
in on the bargain Thanksgiving dinner game. It's going to
offer a twenty five dollars Thanksgiving dinner for five starting
November twelfth. It includes an eight pound butterball, frozen turkey,
plus stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean castrole I Love a
good green bean castrole, pumpkin pie, and more. Walmart says
it's also offering It's Thanksgiving meal basket that'll feed ten
(22:43):
people for forty dollars. At six oh five, it's handle
on the news President Trump blaming election losses on the
government shutdown and due to the fact that he is
not on the balloti au itamis.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
What am I on?
Speaker 1 (23:05):
I'm on the stream because there is so much on
the stream.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
How do you possibly decide what you're going to watch?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
There's TV shows, there's documentaries, there's series, there's movies. And
this week I'm taking my recommendation from Joel Larsgard, the
host of How To Money, because.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
We were talking and he said, oh, I got Netflix.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
We were talking about those subscriptions that you just keep
paying for and whether you're getting your money out of them,
and he said, you ordered Netflix just for this show,
but he hadn't watched it yet. So I thought, well,
I need to know what this show is if it
prompted Joel Larsgard to spend money. It's called Crash Landing
on You. It's on Netflix again. It's a Korean series
(23:48):
from back in twenty nineteen, so I'm not sure where
he got wind of it, but I thought well, I better,
I better give it a look, okay, So and I
go tell you it's it's.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
A Korean series.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
And I'm looking at the names and listening, and they
with the subtitles, the names don't sound to my ears
like they look, so I believe that there it's Dijanyo
and you and Sinri, which are the main characters. She
is a successful businesswoman in South Caro Korea. He is
(24:18):
a captain in the North Korean Army. So she at
the very beginning is testing out one of her new
lines of clothing. So she goes parasailing. She gets sucked
into a storm, and where does she land in North Korea,
which sets off a whole set of circumstances and predicaments.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
He wants to take her in.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Because she runs into him while she's sitting in a tree,
thinking she's probably some kind of a spy. She tries
to run away, and then she does, and then they
keep crashing into each other, crash landing on You get it.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
A very charming cast.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Of characters who you come to know and love, and
in some instances you do really dislike some of the characters,
but that's it's meant that way, right, there's soldiers, there's
people from a village in North Korea. There's fiances, families, employees,
and they all grow on.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
You as they move through the series.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
And I had initially thought it was like a Hallmark
movie on steroids, but I'm going to amend that because
I think that that's what Virgin River is. So this
is more like Virgin River on steroids. So there's a
little more drama, there's some more violence, so it's not
all happy, happy, joy joy. I loved it. It's a
fun watch a couple of things. Each episode is like
(25:39):
one and a half hours. I don't know who decided that,
but the episodes are long, but that's okay, And there
are sixteen episodes, so it's a commitment. It's like an
old time TV show where there's a ton of episodes
instead of just.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Six or eight.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
And it's all subtitled and there's a lot of dialogue,
so you got to pay attention.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
And so what I'm binging shows, I tend to like
move around.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I'm multitask, so I had to keep rewinding and rewinding
and rewatching because you didn't want to miss.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
The dialogue, which is part of the storytelling.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
So when you watch, maybe take a bite sized piece
instead of trying to binge it like I did, and
know that you really do need to park yourself on
the couch and pay attention because again, subtitles totally on this.
I think you should be too. It's called crash Landing
on You and it's on Netflix. Time to get in
your business now with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegriney Morning.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Denise, Good morning Amy. Did crash Landing on You make
you cry?
Speaker 8 (26:35):
It did?
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (26:37):
Yeah, that's what everybody is saying. Of course, it's banned
in North Korea, so that's something else to think about
as you watch this that you know it's about people
connecting in spite of their governments, right, but people in
North Korea can't even watch it.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
So that's too bad.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
It's a fun show and it's lovely, but yeah, it does,
you know, it shows the differences between the North and
the South and that so I get that. I guess
I don't get it personally, but I could see why
North Korea wouldn't want their people to see it. Yeah,
all right, let's have business, shall we. Let's talk about Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
Yeah, there's a whole new economic ecosystem scoring a home run,
you might say, on the.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
Back of the Dodgers victory.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Of course, the Dodgers now fork has to be the
first team to exceed two hundred million dollars in annual
sponsorship revenue.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
That's according to sponsor United.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
In others, that is understandable considering their victory and just
the whole you know, critical mass of amazing players that
the Dodgers have. Also, the win is a win for
all the hotels, restaurants and bars getting a lot of
extra business. We knew that already, no surprise, the jerseys
are popular. Then there's the other apparel. Champion T shirts
(27:47):
could see a huge boost in sales and prices on
Shohei Otani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Playing cards are spiking pretty
much any card, yeah, with either of them as selling
for more than it was couple weeks ago. So check
out what you've got on the shelf, in the closet,
in the attic might be worth way more than you think. Course,
Mia I was thinking you could wait till next year
(28:08):
if you've got some of these, when the Dodgers win
again and the three price on some of those Dodgers
baseball cards could go up even more.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
All right, let's look at holiday toys and what Mattel
is doing.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
They say that they have holiday gifts this year for
people looking in just about every price point. They're aware
of the bifurcation in the economy, you know, the whole
thing with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poor,
and the government shutdown isn't helping either.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
They've got a Hot.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
Wheels car for a dollar twenty five and they also
have a seven hundred dollars Hot Wheels set, so they're
kind of pitching two investors that they're ready for this
holiday season. CEO says that Mattel does expect to see
demand pick up now that they're getting closer to the holidays.
And speaking of movies, Yes, yeah, K Pop Demon Hunter's
(28:58):
toys this holiday season. People really want them. It's been
just a massive, unexpected hit for Netflix. But apparently retailers
and toymakers fail to anticipate how much people would love
the movie amy, meaning we will likely see a wave
of K Pop Demon Hunter toys next holiday season instead
of in a couple months. Of course, for Netflix, it's
(29:20):
not a huge problem. In fact, it's the reverse because
K Pop Demon Hunter toys next year just means more
free advertising for whatever streaming spinoffs. Part twos they have
planned is they try to turn K Pop Demon Hunters
into a long term franchise, which they have already said
they're going to do.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
All right, and we'll be watching and we'll be buying.
I'm sure, well, I don't know that I'm going to
buy it K Pop Demon Hunters doll but maybe they
have the packs of three they're supposed.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
To be coming out early next year.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Get in your business every day like we do with
Bloomberg's Denise Pelagrene. We'll do it again tomorrow. Thanks Denise
to you. Then, California is getting new voting districts. Voters
have approved Proposition fifty by a more than sixty to
forty percent margin. Drawing new district lines is expected to
give Democrats five more House seats in the next election.
LA County officials looking into setting up buffer zones around
(30:09):
social services and other county buildings. It's being considered because
solicitors and vendors apparently have been targeting people using county services,
with reports that some are asking for copies of things
like EBT cards, unemployment statements and even wage statements. The
body of an Army private killed in a skydiving accident
will be taken in a procession from John Wayne Airport
(30:30):
to the First United Methodist Church of Costa Mesa today.
The public is encouraged to line the route with American
flags in honor of US Army Private first Class Jake Chandler,
who died October twenty sixth. We're just minutes away from Handle.
On the news this morning, how the state changed the
rules that allows insurance companies not to cover your home.
(30:52):
Let's say good morning now to the director of pr
and Marketing for Pasadena Humane. It's Kevin McManus. Good morning, Kevin,
Good morning, Amy.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
How are you.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
I'm great.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
So, Kevin, you want a pet, you don't want to
deal with potty training, the chewed up shoes and puppies
tearing everything up.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Thank goodness. It's National Senior Pet Adoption Month.
Speaker 8 (31:13):
That's right.
Speaker 12 (31:13):
Yeah, some of my favorite pets are well the seniors
for sure.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Okay, So tell us about what Pasadena Humane is doing
for the Pet Adoption Month.
Speaker 8 (31:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (31:24):
Well, in honor of the month, we're waving adoption fees
for any animal over five years old. So that's dogs, cats,
And I was just looking on our website. We even
have a turtle this morning who's ten, so he would
be no charge adoption this month.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
How long do turtles live?
Speaker 12 (31:42):
They can learn quite a long time. He's probably only
hit in midlife right now.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Okay, and at a very slow pace, at a very
slow pace.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
So tell us in what kind of dogs do you
have available? And maybe ones that are especially good for
potential adoptions because they're no longer puppies.
Speaker 12 (32:00):
Yeah, I mean we have, you know, a pretty wide
variety right now. We have a fifteen year old beagle
who's breaking my heart, and you know, mostly bigger dogs,
but of course we have cats as well, So yeah,
a good just you know, a good variety, okay.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
And I'm thinking of because after being to Pasadena Humane
so many times, which I love going seeing all the
pups and cats like I've seen, like there are huskies,
and when huskies are puppies, they tend to be a
little out of control, so you have to have a
lot of patience in time with them. And so if
you get an adult dog, maybe some of some of
that puppy's been worked out of them.
Speaker 12 (32:42):
Absolutely and you know, not to say that they wouldn't
still be energetic.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
But they are.
Speaker 12 (32:47):
Yeah, that that crazy stage is as well past them.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
And I think you.
Speaker 12 (32:53):
Know a lot of a lot of animals, are a lot
of dogs in particular, end up in shelters because of
behavior issues. You not going to have a behavior issue
with a twelve year old dog. They just want to
like hang out next to you on the couch and
go for a couple of walks a day and just chill.
So great companionship without all of the hard the hard work.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
And when when you adopt through pasading and humane they
they're pretty much primed and ready for adoption.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
What do you do before they head out the door?
Speaker 12 (33:21):
Yeah, any kind of medical that is required, So you know,
if they're not neutered for whatever reason, then we're taking
care of that. We're making sure they're up to date
on vaccines, and generally with our senior pets, we're doing
you know, like at least an initial blood panel. Just
make sure that you know, we know as much about
the pet as we can before rehoming.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Okay, And.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
I was just thinking you mentioned like the older beagle,
and I would think one of the drawbacks. Drawbacks is
that you don't get as long with the animals. So
what's your argument for adopting an older animal?
Speaker 12 (33:59):
You know, I don't know cap with them. Yeah, that's
that's absolutely true. But you know, I think, you know,
the stars for every day I have with all of
the pets that I've had in my life, and you know,
if it's you know, a week that I have with
them or you know, years, it's all blessing. And you know,
(34:21):
it doesn't take much to make a really old dog
or a really old cat really really happy, and so
you're giving them quite a gift by adopting them and
making them part of your home for however long.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
They have least.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Well, I will tell you that I now have a
second cat named Shelby. I got my first cat, Alex,
from Pasadena, I mean, and then we added Shelby to
the family, and she was eleven when I got her,
and she is just an absolute joy. I love love
having her. And I think about it too, because I'm like, oh,
I might not have her for you know, eighteen or
(34:55):
nineteen years, but I get her for four or five years,
or six or seven years, or who knows how long
get her but she's just a joy. So if you're
thinking about adopting exactly, maybe go the adult route and
you can get it in Pasadena Humanes waving all the
fees and that's all month.
Speaker 12 (35:09):
Long, that's correct, Yeah, all right?
Speaker 1 (35:12):
And where do we go and find get some pictures
of pets or where do.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
We go visit?
Speaker 12 (35:17):
Well, if you go to Pasadena Humane dot org, you
can click on adopt pets and you can even filter
by looking just at our senior population right now.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Okay, and also can you just go buy the humans
or do you need.
Speaker 12 (35:32):
To make definitely Nope. We're open daily from nine thirty
to five thirty, and we've now kind of gone completely
back to our old days where people can come in
and walk through at any time and just kind of visit,
which is a great way to connect with a pet
that you want to adopt.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Yes, prepare to fall in love, okay.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Pr and Communications director Kevin McManus with Pasadena Humane. Adopt
a five year old or older dog, cat, or even
a turtle, and they're going to pick up all the
fees and make sure that you have a new forever friend.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
Thanks so much, Kevin, Thank you so much.
Speaker 8 (36:09):
Anny.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
All Right, I always just think that's it's such a
great thing. And like I said, Shelby is I think
she's thirteen now and she's just a little love of
my life every single day.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Yeah, older cat.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
Oh I did it with cats and they were just great.
Speaker 8 (36:22):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Let's get back to some of the stories coming out
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Democrats have scored
decisive victories and key races around the country, including in
a historic win for Zoorron Mamdanni, the next mayor of
New York City. ABC's Rick Clein says the races weren't
even close.
Speaker 13 (36:38):
Double digit defeats for Republicans in Virginia, where they still
have a pretty popular incumbent Republican governor, double digits in
New Jersey, and the rise of Zoron Mamdannie, who was
able to defeat some of the biggest names in New
York or national politics.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Abigail Spanberger is going to be Virginia's first female governor.
Mikey Cheryl beat Republican Jack Chitarelli in New Jersey. Governor
Newsom says President Trump is keeping two hundred California National
Guard troops stationed in Oregon that's despite a federal judge's
order that bars the president from deploying the troops. Governor
Newsom says it has made the troops not available to
(37:12):
respond to needs. In California, the La City Council has
moved closer to eliminating fees for the Dine La program.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Twice a year, for two weeks at a time. Restaurants
pay the La Tourism and Convention Board to be part
of dine La, which markets the businesses in a big campaign.
Councilman Isabelle Herodo says she looked for restaurants in her
district that participated, and we.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Were surprised when we learned that there was only one
restaurant in Boyle Heights, one restaurant in Little Tokyo, and
one restaurant in Elsa Dno.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
She says that's because the eight hundred dollars registration fee
is cost prohibitive for smaller businesses. The council has asked
the Tourism Department to figure out how to get rid
of the fees. Michael Monks KFI News.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
More pet owners are becoming anti vaxers when it comes
to their animals.
Speaker 14 (37:53):
Recent survey says at least twenty two percent of dog
owners and twenty six percent of cat owners could be
classified as vaccine has. Some pet owners even say vaccines
could lead to autism in their pets, calling it pautism.
Dogs can display autistic traits like repetitive actions or communication issues,
but autism is not a recognized diagnosis for knines. The
anti vax group, founded by Health Secretary RFK Junior, recently
(38:16):
published a book saying pet vaccines caused tremendous harm. Experts
say a loosening of animal vax laws will cause a
resurgence of infectious diseases in both pets and people. Michael
Krozer KFI News.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
And a lot of people have switched to Switch. More
than ten million units of Nintendo's Switched to have been

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