Range County Daddy as Amy King.This is your wake up call for
(00:33):
Wednesday, September sixth. I knowit feels like Tuesday, but that's because
of the holiday. Good morning,I'm Amy King. Thanks for waking up
with us this morning. Here's what'sahead on wake up call. Walmart,
CVS, Ride Aid and Walmart aregoing to start selling Narcan over the counter
for the first time this week.Drug can reverse an opioid overdose. A
box comes with two doses. Itsells for about forty five bucks. Family

slammed into a firetruck near Compton.The man and woman were killed early yesterday.
Ellie County firefighters, four of themwere injured. Goldman Sachs has lowered
its estimated chance of a US recessionover the next twelve months to just fifteen
percent. That's good news. Let'sget started with some of the stories coming
(01:19):
out of the KFI twenty four hournewsroom. Several vehicles have been set on
fire in Long Beach, putting residentson edge. Yeah, it makes me
extremely uneasy. I mean, allof the residents here are uneasy because we
don't know whose car is going tobe next. We don't know, you
know, every time we hear thefire alarm, it's almost like PTSD.
Five vehicles have been mysteriously set onfire in the past two weeks. The
(01:42):
most recent happened yesterday at an apartmentbuilding parking structure, the same place that
two leather cars were set on fire. Police say they have identified a person
of interest, but that person isnot considered a suspect. Voters could soon
decide on a fentanyl dealer murder chargewarning inspired by the fatal overdose of a
woman from Temeculas. Now time forCalifornians to vote to save the lives of
(02:06):
fellow Californians. Matt Kapaludo says fourtimes state Senate and Assembly public safety committees
rejected Alexandra's law, named after hisdaughter. Another attempt by Republicans yesterday was
also voted down. We punished drunkdrivers when they kill, but not drug
dealers. Why not one kills withthe car, the other with the drug
both act with reckless disregard for humanlife. Eleven year old to Nova Hillman
(02:29):
says her father, Rapper DMX,was killed by a drug overdose. There
are so many children out there losingtheir parents and paris using their children.
Please think about this before you sellor take drugs. Critics say this is
just another failed drug war policy that'llput more people in jail without slowing down
overdoses. The Stop Fentnyl Dealers initiativefiled yesterday will need to gather enough signatures
(02:50):
before being placed on the ballot.Then, similar to DUI's, courts could
warn fentnyl dealers they could be chargedwith murder if they knowingly sell fentnyl again
and someone fatally overdoses. Corbin Carson, Kofi News. A new educational campaign
has been launched in San Francisco tolet residents know when and when not to
call nine one one. The campaignin response to the nine one one system
(03:13):

Black says it took seven years,but now there are steps people can
take to prevent it. Keeping yourblood pressure under control, keeping your diabetes
under control, the exercise, thegood diet, He says. Makers can

use the discovery to create medicine thattargets cells vulnerable to iron toxicity. Well,
Bob Barker had it. TMZ saysit obtained Barker's death certificate. The
document says Barker's death came years afterhis Alzheimer's disease began. The longtime former
host of The Prices Right died athis home in the Hollywood Hills last month
(04:20):
at the age of ninety nine.It's five h five. Time to say
good morning to ABC's Stephen Portnoy.Good morning, Stephen, So the longest
sentence yet tied to the prosecutions ofpeople involved in the January sixth attack on
the US Capital's been handed down andyou were in the courtroom, tell us
(04:40):
about it. Twenty two years isthe sentence for Enricate Tario, who was
the chairman of the Proud Boys,and four of them were convicted in May
of seditious conspiracy conspiring to try tooverthrow the elected government of the United States.
Now Tario himself was not physically presentin Washington, DC on January sixth.
(05:01):
He was arrested two days prior oncharges that he vandalized a black church
here in Washington back in December oftwenty twenty, got into a scuffle,
took down a Black Lives Matter flagand burned it, And when he arrived
here in Washington on January fourth oftwenty twenty one, authorities were waiting for
him, took him into custody,and a judge ordered him to leave the
(05:24):
district, so he did, andfrom a hotel room in Baltimore, he
watched the riot unfold on January sixthand sent electronic messages to his followers egging
them on telling him not to leavethe capital and saying afterward, how Proud
he was of his boys and thatthey should quote do it again now.
Yesterday in court Enriquetario expressed remorse toa certain extent. He said that he
(05:48):
was sorry, embarrassed, and ashamedthat law enforcement officers in particular were physically
and emotionally harmed by all this.He said that he appeared before the judge
of different man humbled by the trialand his time in jail away from his
family. He said he now viewsthe statements to his followers about the Constitution
(06:08):
in seventeen seventy six as a perversionand that he now views January sixth as
a national embarrassment. Now. JudgeTimothy Kelly, a Trump appointee, said
he was glad to hear all ofthat, but concluded that Kelly that Tario
did not express particular remorse for thecrime with which he was convicted, and
(06:29):
that is seditious conspiracy. He nevercopped to the idea that he was engaged
in a conspiracy to try to overthrowthe government. In fact, he essentially
denied that that was ever his intent. But Kelly said even though he wasn't
physically present here in Washington on thesixth, he had an outsized impact on
what happened on the sixth, andthe jury rejected the defense argument that he
(06:51):
was simply, in the words ofthe attorney, a keyboard ninja. The
jury heard the argument, rejected itconvicted him anyway, and Kelly said,
for that reason, and to alsosend a deterrent effect, he would sentence
Enrique Tario to more time than anyother January sixth defendant, twenty two years
in federal prison. When it wasover, the judge sent away Tario with
(07:15):
a parting word, he said,I think this is an absolutely proper sentence.
If you do seek a path awayfrom where you were on January sixth,
I wish you the best on thatpath. Did the did Tario's remarks
that he said, you know,this was a mistake and kind of screwed
up and all of that, andthat he was he regretted some things that
he had done. Did he didthat come after he was sentenced? Does
(07:38):
that come before the sentencing? No, that comes before the sentencing. What
happens is the prosecution makes its argument, the defense makes its argument. Oftentimes
there's a victim impact statement, andthat happened last week with other co defendants
which involved police officers and talking aboutthe damage that they suffered and the yesterday
(07:58):
members of Tario's family, his mother, his sister, and others tearfully appealed
for mercy, and so did Tario, and then the sentence was handed down.
Does those appeals, ever, inyour experience, make any difference that
the judges already kind of made uptheir mind. Look, it depends on
the circumstances, It depends on thecrime, it depends on the statement.
(08:20):
I don't know what Judge Kelly hadin mind. I don't know what he
planned to do. But yesterday hehanded down a twenty two year prison sentence,
and he said he was glad tohear contrition, but in the end
he viewed it wasn't enough. Andhe also said it was beyond Tario that
whether it's twenty twenty four or twentytwenty eight or twenty thirty two, or
(08:43):
any future election in this country inwhich this case is remembered, people have
to know this can never happen again. Yeah, you know, the term
seditious conspiracy is something that I hadn'theard until after this happened. Like you've
heard of conspiracy charges, but whatis what specific is seditious conspiracy? Well,
(09:03):
it's conspiracy to commit sedition. Whatis sedition? You've heard of remember
from history in high school, theAlien and sedition acts. Through World War
One, there was the Espionage Actand then the Sedition Act. The idea
is a conspiracy to overthrow the dulyelected government of the United States. And
that's a crime with which these menwere charged. It has been charged over
(09:26):
the decades, over the centuries,but rarely, and it essentially is one
of the highest crimes one can commitin the United States. At a jury
found this man and his co defendantsguilty of it. Okay, And can
he appeal or is he eligible forparole or is it pretty much done deal?
Now, well, there is noparole in the federal system. He
can appeal, he can appeal,but in the end it's going to be
up to the DC Circuit Court orthe Supreme Court. But the judge said
(09:50):
yesterday again, a Trump appointed judgesaid that he viewed it as an absolutely
proper sentence. Okay. Avc's StevePortnoy, you always give us such great
inside and I'd forgotten the whole seditiousthing that I learned in high school.
So that was a good and goodre education for me. Thanks again for
your time. Let's get back tosome of the stories coming out of the
KFI twenty four hour news room.A company in Saint Louis says it will
(10:13):
be installing fog machines in some retailstores in southern California to help stop smashing
grab robberies. Eagles with Density USAand says his special machines create a cold,
dense fog which scares would be robbers. What do you think it is
about the fog that scares him.Oh, they don't know what it is.
Yeah, they have no idea whetherit's caere gas or may sir,
(10:33):
you know whatever. Eagle says.The fog impairs vision. It's non toxic
and lingers up to an hour anddoesn't leave behind any residue. It is
a dry, dense fog. It'sa proprietary blend of watering food grade glycol.
He says it's being successfully used ineighty countries. Steve Gregory Kofie News.
The San Diego Police Department is holdinga private memorial service for a K

fan chant the famous phrase yesterday andstopped the match. Zerev told the Empire
he wouldn't continue playing until the fanwas kicked out. The crowd cheered when
security escorted the guy out one infive sets, and he is playing in
(12:07):
the quarterfinals tonight. President Biden hasawarded the Medal of Honor to a Vietnam
War Army helicopter pilot who risked hislife flying into enemy fire to save four
members of a recon team about tobe overrun. Captain Larry Taylor flew his
Cobra Attack helicopter near the Saigon Riverin nineteen sixty eight. Biden says he
refused to give up. He rewrotethe fate of four families for generations to
(12:31):
come. That's valor, that's valor. That's our nation at its very best.
Taylor, who's now eighty one,says he had to figure out how
to get his men out, otherwisethey wouldn't have made it. One of
the men saved by Taylor says hisactions were what we now call thinking outside
the box. Thank goodness he did. Fifteen hundred items from Freddie Mercury's home

It includes the handwritten working lyrics too. We are the Champions, Expected to

Mercury died in nineteen ninety one.A Fulton County Superior Court judge has scheduled
a hearing in the Georgia election interferencecase. It's set to look at whether
some defendants can be tried separately fromthe rest of the group. The DA
(13:46):

caused a breach of the retaining bermat the loss and dump site near Thermal.
It's the largest toxic dump in California. The victory tour continues for the
Little League World Series champions from ElSegundo. The champ's got to take in
(14:11):
batting practice at Angel Stadium last night. I met up with the players and
pitcher oh Crew O'Connor throughout the firstpitch. Next up is a victory parade
on Sunday in El Segundo at sixoh five. It's handled on the news.
We're gonna be talking about the ProudBoys leader who has been sentenced to
the longest sentence yet in the Januarysixth attacks on the US Capitol. Right
(14:33):
now, let's say good morning toKTLA tech guy Rich Demiro and the host
of Rich on Tech on KFI,Rich DeMuro, Hey, good morning to
you. How was out for anintro? Now? That was great.
I felt like I was on agame show all over again. Well,
I want to say welcome home,because you've been doing a little tech jet
setting. That's right. I wasin Berlin, Germany for a tech show
(14:58):
called IFA. Now many people haveheard of CS in Las Vegas. Yes,
not so many people have heard ofIFA here in the States. I
mean unless you're a techy. Butit's been going on for almost one hundred
years over there, and it's huge, I mean really really massive. We're
talking over two thousand exhibitors. Thenyou've got one hundred and thirty thousand square
(15:18):
meters, which I don't know howthat translates into feet, but I'm sure
it's a lot. And then let'ssee, they had over one hundred eighty
thousand visitors this year from one hundredand thirty eight countries. So needless to
say, it was a ton tosee. And it was even brands that
I had never heard of, becausethis is a worldwide show in its biggest
(15:39):
meeting. So I saw a lotof cool stuff and it was just amazing
to walk. It's almost like atech carnival. That's the best way I
could describe it. Because they're sellingfood and beer and all this other stuff
too. Oh good that they havebeer. It's in Germany, I mean
they have to write. Yeah,I mean, it's like october Fest every
day over there, right exactly.By the way, it's a one hundred
and fifty five thousand, four hundredand seventy eight square yards Okay, perfect,
(16:00):
there you go. So that's alot. CS is. I think
CS a little bit less than that. It's about I think CS about one
hundred and thirty thousand square feet.So, but I mean, the different
the big difference here, Amy isthat this allowed this show allows the public
to come, and that's very differentthan CES. Yes, you have to
(16:21):
get special badges and get invitations andstuff like that, exactly so this you
just pay your whatever it is entryfee, thirty five bucks for the day.
So families come, you know,people that are interested in technology come,
students come. I mean it's reallyneat because you get to see so
much in one place. Like ifI had this as a kid, It's
(16:41):
kind of like going to like acar show, right, like you get
to see all these different cars ondisplay and compare and contrast. It's kind
of like that, but for tech. Oh nice, okay, And so
you got to wander how long wereyou there? I was there for four
days and does the show go forthat whole time? The show is five
days, so a couple of daysas I was there for like kind of
preview stuff. So and then ofcourse I did my radio show from there,
(17:03):
so you know, on the floorat the show, I did two
days. So it was it wasa lot to see. Like I did
not see at all, but Idid see a lot. And some of
the things I saw, you know, like a lot of new products,
a lot of European products, alot of appliances. They're really big into
it, Like this show kind ofstarted out as like a lot of home
appliances and like refrigerators and stuff,but now it's really expanded into just so
(17:27):
many different accessories and TVs and AIand sustainability was such a big deal there.
Okay, what are a couple ofthings that you were very impressed with.
Well, they've got this phone thatthey're selling over in Europe called the
fair Phone, which is a smartphonethat you can repair yourself. So it
has ten user replaceable parts. Soif the battery goes out, you just
(17:48):
pop off the back, pop ina new battery. If the camera goes
out, you can pop in anew camera module. If the speaker goes
bad, you can just pop ina new speaker. So that's really cool.
It's seven hundred dollar phone, andso it's one of those things where
they're just trying to push the envelopewith the industry. They're not saying everyone
should get this, but they're saying, you know what, we do this,
Apple, why can't you do this? Or you know, Samsung,
(18:08):
why can't you do this? Andis it something that usually like the US
will then follow the lead of thosekinds of things, or are they just
all prototype. It's not a prototype. This is real. This is they're
actually selling this, and whether theUS follows the lead. Let's put it
this way. So the iPhone nextactually it's six months. Next week,
they're going to reveal a new iPhoneand it's going the rumor is it's going
(18:30):
to have USBC, which is adifferent connector on the bottom. And the
entire reason that's happening is because Europesaid, you know what, tech companies,
we're sick of you having different chargingcables. You're all going to have
the same one because it makes lifeeasier, kind of like the way we
plug everything into the wall, it'sthe same plug. You don't have to
like think about a different plug.That's what they're doing with phones. And
(18:51):
now Apple is forced to do thathere in the US, and well they
don't have to, but they don'twant to make two different versions of the
iPhone, right. So my pointis, Yeah, these things start in
certain places and they eventually trickle theirway into other places if there's not enough
forces against them. I love theidea being able to replace the battery.
Hey, so when you went andyou came back, you tried out a
(19:11):
something new that's available to Californians.Yeah, this is the new California mobile
driver's license. And so as soonas I as soon as I signed up
for this thing the day it wasavailable. This was a couple of weeks
ago. It took about an hourto get it to my phone. They
had to verify you take a pictureof yourself on your phone, Like it's
weird to like scans your face withlike a bunch of flashing lights. So
(19:32):
seriously, if you have like anysort of like epileptic reaction, do not
do this app Because it was kindof like WHOA a little bit of warning
there, you know, Okay,so you do that. It takes about
a minute for them to do allthe information and then takes a couple of
hours for them to authorize you.Once you do that, you now have
a digital version of your driver's licenseon your phone. And when I went
(19:53):
to the DMV or sorry, whenI went to the TSA so many acronyms.
I said to the guy, Iwas like, hey, do you
mind if I try this out?You know, knowing that I'd be totally
annoying in front of this whole likeline of people. And he's like no,
He's like, I've been wanting tosee how this works. Let me
fire up the machine. So Iwas like the first person that he tried
it with. And the tip Ihave for you is that when you scan
(20:14):
your QR code at the bottom ofthe machine, there's actually a little pop
up window or like a little alertthat says, please tap to share your
information. And the first time wedid this, we did not notice.
So I kept looking at the cameraabove, which you have to look at
to verify your face, and sohe was like, oh, it's not
working. I was like, oh, wait, hold on, I see
a little message on my screen.Okay, let's try it again. So
(20:36):
we did it twice. The secondtime it worked and I never had to
take out my ID and it workedpretty well. It's not part of Apple
Wallet, though, you have tounderstand that, which is kind of annoying.
California is like doing their own thingright now. Hopefully they'll get into
Apple Wallet and Google Wallet so youcan just use it like your tap to
pay at the store, right becauseright now then it would be hard to
to toggle between your boarding pass andyour ID. Well, you don't even
(21:00):
need to when you have this now. They're I mean, lax is like
one of like the futuristic airports wherethey don't even care about your boarding past.
They just scan your ID, okay, and they match it up in
some sort of giant government database thathas all of our information. Sounds great,
right now, What could possibly gowrong? That's a really good question,
okay. KTLA Tech recorder Rich DeMuro, host of rich on Tech.

for the first time this week.The drug can reverse an opioid overdose.
A box comes with two doses andsales for about forty five bucks. Family
members say a man and woman werebeing chased. They were not racing when
they slammed into a fire truck nearCompton. The man and woman were killed
(28:48):
early yesterday. Four LA County firefighterswere injured. At five fifty, we're
gonna be talking with ABC's Karen Traversabout what the President's doing now that the
first lady has COVID. But rightnow we've got a real treat for you.
It is legendary TV weatherman Fritz Coleman, who's proving that what's old is
new again. Who knew you weresuch a funny guy. I only know
(29:10):
you. It's Fritz Coleman, theweather guy. I know. Well that's
the fun part, especially if someone'snever seen me perform live. I love
the surprise because I think they're goingto be maps and a long range forecast,
and there's not no and we justhave fun. I actually got my
job doing the weather from being acomic. I was working at the comedy
Store in nineteen eighty two. Thisis a true story, and my old
(29:36):
news director from NBC was in theaudience, and I talked on stage about
having done the weather in the Navy. I worked for Armed Forces Television and
I was forced to do the weatheragainst my will and didn't know anything about
it, right, So I tolda little anecdote about that, And so
after the show, this man cameup and introduced himself to him, and
he said, this is a reallyodd question, but do you have any
(29:57):
desire to come to NBC and dosome weekend fill in and vacation relief forecasting
for me? I have a mainweather guy that hasn't had a time off
in a year, and I'd loveto plug you in. I said,
well, I think I mentioned onstage that I don't know anything about whether.
He said, perfect, there's noweather in California. This will worked
(30:18):
out great. So I auditionally gotthe gig, and that's how I started.
So comedy came first. Okay,So I just think it's funny that
the guy in the audience is watchingyou talk about how you had to do
weather stuff kicking and screaming and theNavy, and he goes, hey,
he might be really good on theair. Absolutely. Well, that was
an era when you know, newswas a little more familiar and entertaining.
(30:40):
Yeah, as a matter of fact, our evening newscast where I was,
it was almost like the morning newscastsare now where you know, it's family
stuff and what did you do overthe weekend, and oh, yeah,
here's the news. The news wasalmost a second thought. But as time
went on and there were more stationson the air, and news got more
competitive and the shortening American attention spanand clicker things got more serious. So
(31:03):
and that's that time I was goingto say, and about that time you
said, let me the heck outof here, audios. When did you
retire almost three years ago, twomonths into the pandemic. Oh, we
had just started to do the broadcastfrom home routine, right, and my
boss I was going to retire chestat lockdown. It was a total coincidence,
(31:25):
and my boss said, we doyou hang around for a couple extra
months so we can make the smoothtransition into the home broadcast. And I
said, yes, so I Itwo months into the thing, I bailed,
okay. And then you went onto chapter two, chapter two,
and which is actually chapter three,because you went from chapter one was comedy,
Chapter two is the weather, andnow chapter three you're back on stage
(31:45):
with a show called Unassisted Living.That's right, Okay, tell us about
the show. Well, I doa thing and I made this name up.
I don't know what you would callthis a single topic monologue. I've
been doing this since the beginning ofmy career. My first one was about
being a parent, My second onewas about divorce, my third one was
about the news. My fourth onewas about my just thinking, oh,
(32:08):
I'm getting old. So it wassort of an introductory to my old material
and assisted living is coming to thecoming to the realization that I can't get
out of being old. And sothat's what this last one is. So
it's it's about an hour talking aboutthe comed experiences of aging. It's not.
There are no politics. I lovethat, yeah, because I just
(32:32):
think that people's lives are so darknow that I think they just appreciate being
lifted out of the cares of theirlives and just have a common experience and
laugh and go home. I willtell you that I so appreciate that,
because even like the late night talkshow guys who I used to just love
(32:52):
and it was such fun, justcomic relief, and it's just gotten so
caustic. I can't watch them anymore. I'm like, leave the politics out
of it. There is a timeand place for that. It's not on
late night comedy. And it doesn'tmatter what side of the political spectrum you're
on. It's exhausting, absolutely becauseit's consumed our lives, and cable news
has become this monster that has tobe fed, so you can't really escape
(33:15):
it. And so I want togive people a break from that, particularly
my demographic, which is older,and they don't care that the world's falling
apart because their bodies are falling apart. Yes, they're going and not coming
as we'd like to say. SoI it's just it's it's an hour of
(33:36):
common experience and nothing that. I'mnot trying to test the First Amendment or
anything like that. It's relatively clean. We don't get wrong. We don't
use a lot of profanity. Profanity. I don't know a lot of people
wouldn't brag about that, but Ido because my audience, being older,
appreciates it. If you don't dothat, so well, I watched the
show and it's funny, so youdon't have to be older to see it.
(33:58):
Good semtime. I'm trying to pretendthat I'm not older. Okay,
So the show is unassisted Living andit's on to be That's where I watched
it. God, you're taking itback to a life. Well, I
went back to this theater, theLports House Theater, which is this iconic
theater in North Hollywood and Lankershim Boulevardthat actually started as a vaudeville house and
(34:20):
then went to a big famous moviehouse and now it's a performance space.
And I'm in the smaller room whatthey call the equity Waiver Room, which
is ninety nine seats and below.Because I saw an episode of Hacks where
which smart yes, and they tapedan episode in there and it was so
intimate and they had cocktail tables.Right, I said, that's that's what
I want to do. So Itake my special there. Now I'm back.
(34:44):
We have three more performances September,October, and November. This September
performance is sold out September tenth,but October and November. It's an hour.
I have an opening act at differentopening act every week. And what
I'm trying to do is just totry new material and build a new hour
and press forward, so you'll seesome stuff and it's infant stages and just
have a good time. Oh,that sounds like so much fun. And
(35:05):
where can we get tickets? You'llgo to lportwel Theater dot com, where
you can go to my website,Fritz Coleman Comedy dot com that has more
information than you could ever possibly consumeabout that which has been my life.
Okay, and we're coming up toabout that time on the show, Fritz,
do you want to give me aforecast? When people ask me now
because I've relinquished my license, Isay, look on your phone and never
(35:29):
ask me again. Thank you FritzColeman, so much, so much.
Yeah, it's nice to Sris.Got a little brighter with you there.
Oh. I hope you're enjoying it, and I hope your body's used to
it getting there. Thanks again toFritz Coleman. I have watched the show
on two be as I mentioned,unassisted Living really funny. And if you
(35:52):
want tickets to the show live atthe El Portal Theater in North Hollywood,
you can get those tickets again atel Portal Theater dot com. Right now,
let's say good morning to ABC's WhiteHouse correspondent Karen Travers. Karen,
I didn't know this until I sawyou on TV the other day. You're
a fellow redhead? I am,yes, where am my sister and brother
(36:15):
as well? My grandmother was aredhead? Oh and my brother's kind of
read. But back to serious stuff. The first lady has COVID. Where's
she writing it out? She isin Delaware at the Biden's home there,
and the White House said yesterday she'sexperiencing just mild symptoms, but she won't
(36:35):
be at the White House. Shecan isolate there, and they said she's
working with her Northern Virginia Community Collegeto make sure her classes are covered this
week by a substitute, because ofcourse she's a community college professor and classes
are underway right now. It's alittle bit of an adjustment for her schedule.
The President knows symptoms. As oflast night, when we had last
checked or left, we heard fromthe White House he tested negative Monday,
(36:58):
after the First Lady's positive test.He tested negative again on Tuesday. And
you know the question is when doeshe test again? I was pushing Kareem
jun Pierre on this yesterday. Theywouldn't really say if it would happen today,
saying the CDC doesn't recommend testing everysingle day. When you're a close
contact, said, you know hewill test. It seems because of just
that it's not gonna She didn't getinto the exact science of it, but
(37:22):
he said that the CDC says youdon't have to do it every single day.
Every other day is fine, sohe notably get it every day.
Though I would think that you'd wantto do it like every day if you
had been around somebody who actually hasit, just to find out, I
would think too. But I guessmaybe if you have symptoms, and I
don't want to give bad advice,right to the CDC website to find out
exactly what it says. But theyalso were emphasizing he doesn't have symptoms,
(37:44):
so that's a big part of ittoo. But he will test tomorrow and
before he gets on the plane AirForce one to go to India for a
World Leader summit. Everybody traveling wouldget tested no matter what, So that
could be the next time we getany negative update from the president. Okay,
so playing the hypothetical game, thenhe's doing fine now. But say
(38:04):
he tests positive tomorrow before he getson the plane, does he get to
go or does he send somebody elsein his place? Or what happens.
You know, a lot of questionsabout that yesterday, about contingency plans.
The Vice President's traveling right now.She's in Asia right now for another World
leaders summit. No surprise. TheWhite House is not like hypotheticals, especially
when it's a hypothetical positive COVID casefor the president. They did not want
(38:27):
to give any sense of what thecontingency plans are, just saying the trip
is full seam ahead right now.But Jake Sullivan, who was at the
briefing yesterday to preview the trip,did say that, you know, the
administration has a lot of experience withCOVID issues when it comes to summits because
they've been doing it since day one, and that other world leaders have given
virtual remarks before. He wasn't sayingthat was going to happen, but I
(38:47):
think just notably pointing out that ifthere was some change because of something happening
here at the White House, itwould not be unprecedented. Okay, ABC,
Scaron Travers, thank you so much. Hope you get tested too,
Yeah, thank you, all right, we'll talk to you soon. Let's
get back to some of the storiescoming out of the KFI twenty four hour
newsroom. Long Beach public Works islooking into a dangerous intersection where cars have
(39:12):
plowed into an antique shop. Twocrashes into the building in the last two
months has the Magnolia and Willow storeowner Emily Yep frustrated with city officials.
I tried so hard to get safetyballards, put in any kind of safety
measures, and they just said they'restudying the intersection. Public Works director Eric
Lopez says the city's trying to addtemporary safety measures while more permanent solutions are
(39:32):
being designed. It just takes alot of work and a lot of money
to bring that vision together. Thestore owner says the most recent crash into
her shop was Saturday, where acar went right through her front doors.
Chris Adler KFI News. The FEDShave sued so Cal Edison for more than
one hundred twenty million dollars in firesuppression costs and other damages. The US

The fire in twenty twenty destroyed,one hundred seventy one buildings and one hundred
seventy eight vehicles. More than onehundred miles of trails and several campgrounds remain
(40:13):
closed. SoCal Edison declined to commenton the pending litigation. A Republican center
from a senator from Ohio is pushingfor a ban on federal mask mandates.
The proposed legislation, introduced yesterday aimsto prevent federal agencies from requiring masks on
airlines, public transit, and inpublic schools. It's known as the Freedom
(40:34):
to Breathe Act. The bill wouldalso prevent those industries from refusing service to
people who choose not to wear amask. The CDC says it does not
have plans to call for the reinstatementof mask mandates. It says it is
focused on rolling out a new boostershot this month ahead of the expected peak
spread season of COVID in November andDecember. From the What in the Heck
(40:55):
Is Wrong With People? Department.A sea lion is recovering after it was
stabbed in the face near Channel Islands. The sea lion was first spotted on
Monday near Hollywood Beach. It hada knife wedged in its snout, so
volunteers surrounded it and captured it nearthe boat launch ramp at Channel Islands Harbor.
A member of the Channel Islands Marineand Wildlife Institute then showed up and
(41:17):
was able to get the knife outof its snout. Luckily, it didn't
really hit anything vital and the woundis expected to heal on its own,
So Disney is hinting that the capis coming back. As you may recall,
there has been the limited run ofthe Marvel musical Rogers the Musical at
(41:42):
Disney California Adventure. It was runningthis week and I know Nick saw it
a couple of times, Nick polyo'keenny. And then it ended its run
on August thirty first. But thenthis mysterious teaser thing showed up on the
Marquee outside the Hyperion Theater. Didyou see that last night while you were
there? They actually was chopped overalready quickly, so it was quickly there
and gone. So it says happyHalloween. Now. So that teaser was
(42:06):
really almost like an Easter egg thatbarely showed up as they wrapped up the
run of Rodgers the Musical. Well, here's what it said. It said,
that's the thing about endings, theycan be rewritten. So it'll be
interesting to see. I mean,because it was obviously pretty popular. I
saw, I know you liked it. Almost everybody I know liked it.
But it was about Captain Rodgers andthe origins of Captain Captain Rogers, about
(42:30):
Steve Rodgers and the origins of CaptainAmerica Rush. The Marvel thing is so
big right now. And Frozen ranfor a long time at the Hyperion was
great, and Aladdin, which Ithought was probably the best one, was
spectacular. It ran for a longtime. So we'll have to watch and
see if the cap is coming backhopefully. All right, now do it?
We got no time for the capbecause it's Halloween time at Disneyland and
(42:52):
it's decked out, and we're goingto be talking more about that in the
coming days. This is let's startthat over. This is kaf FI and

box comes with two doses. Itsells for about forty five bucks. Family

slammed into a firetruck near Compton.The man and woman were killed early yesterday.
Ellie County firefighters, four of themwere injured. Goldman Sachs has lowered
its estimated chance of a US recessionover the next twelve months to just fifteen
percent. That's good news. Let'sget started with some of the stories coming
(01:19):
out of the KFI twenty four hournewsroom. Several vehicles have been set on
fire in Long Beach, putting residentson edge. Yeah, it makes me
extremely uneasy. I mean, allof the residents here are uneasy because we
don't know whose car is going tobe next. We don't know, you
know, every time we hear thefire alarm, it's almost like PTSD.
Five vehicles have been mysteriously set onfire in the past two weeks. The

most recent happened yesterday at an apartmentbuilding parking structure, the same place that
two leather cars were set on fire. Police say they have identified a person

fellow Californians. Matt Kapaludo says fourtimes state Senate and Assembly public safety committees

dealers. Why not one kills withthe car, the other with the drug
both act with reckless disregard for humanlife. Eleven year old to Nova Hillman
(02:29):
says her father, Rapper DMX,was killed by a drug overdose. There
are so many children out there losingtheir parents and paris using their children.
Please think about this before you sellor take drugs. Critics say this is
just another failed drug war policy that'llput more people in jail without slowing down
overdoses. The Stop Fentnyl Dealers initiativefiled yesterday will need to gather enough signatures
(02:50):
before being placed on the ballot.Then, similar to DUI's, courts could
warn fentnyl dealers they could be chargedwith murder if they knowingly sell fentnyl again
and someone fatally overdoses. Corbin Carson, Kofi News. A new educational campaign
has been launched in San Francisco tolet residents know when and when not to

(04:20):
at the age of ninety nine.It's five h five. Time to say
good morning to ABC's Stephen Portnoy.Good morning, Stephen, So the longest
sentence yet tied to the prosecutions ofpeople involved in the January sixth attack on
the US Capital's been handed down andyou were in the courtroom, tell us
(04:40):
about it. Twenty two years isthe sentence for Enricate Tario, who was
the chairman of the Proud Boys,and four of them were convicted in May
of seditious conspiracy conspiring to try tooverthrow the elected government of the United States.
Now Tario himself was not physically presentin Washington, DC on January sixth.
(05:01):
He was arrested two days prior oncharges that he vandalized a black church
here in Washington back in December oftwenty twenty, got into a scuffle,
took down a Black Lives Matter flagand burned it, And when he arrived
here in Washington on January fourth oftwenty twenty one, authorities were waiting for
him, took him into custody,and a judge ordered him to leave the
(05:24):
district, so he did, andfrom a hotel room in Baltimore, he
watched the riot unfold on January sixthand sent electronic messages to his followers egging
them on telling him not to leavethe capital and saying afterward, how Proud
he was of his boys and thatthey should quote do it again now.
Yesterday in court Enriquetario expressed remorse toa certain extent. He said that he
(05:48):
was sorry, embarrassed, and ashamedthat law enforcement officers in particular were physically
and emotionally harmed by all this.He said that he appeared before the judge
of different man humbled by the trialand his time in jail away from his
family. He said he now viewsthe statements to his followers about the Constitution
(06:08):
in seventeen seventy six as a perversionand that he now views January sixth as
a national embarrassment. Now. JudgeTimothy Kelly, a Trump appointee, said
he was glad to hear all ofthat, but concluded that Kelly that Tario
did not express particular remorse for thecrime with which he was convicted, and
(06:29):
that is seditious conspiracy. He nevercopped to the idea that he was engaged
in a conspiracy to try to overthrowthe government. In fact, he essentially
denied that that was ever his intent. But Kelly said even though he wasn't
physically present here in Washington on thesixth, he had an outsized impact on
what happened on the sixth, andthe jury rejected the defense argument that he
(06:51):
was simply, in the words ofthe attorney, a keyboard ninja. The
jury heard the argument, rejected itconvicted him anyway, and Kelly said,
for that reason, and to alsosend a deterrent effect, he would sentence
Enrique Tario to more time than anyother January sixth defendant, twenty two years
in federal prison. When it wasover, the judge sent away Tario with
(07:15):
a parting word, he said,I think this is an absolutely proper sentence.
If you do seek a path awayfrom where you were on January sixth,
I wish you the best on thatpath. Did the did Tario's remarks
that he said, you know,this was a mistake and kind of screwed
up and all of that, andthat he was he regretted some things that
he had done. Did he didthat come after he was sentenced? Does
(07:38):
that come before the sentencing? No, that comes before the sentencing. What
happens is the prosecution makes its argument, the defense makes its argument. Oftentimes
there's a victim impact statement, andthat happened last week with other co defendants
which involved police officers and talking aboutthe damage that they suffered and the yesterday
(07:58):
members of Tario's family, his mother, his sister, and others tearfully appealed
for mercy, and so did Tario, and then the sentence was handed down.
Does those appeals, ever, inyour experience, make any difference that
the judges already kind of made uptheir mind. Look, it depends on
the circumstances, It depends on thecrime, it depends on the statement.
(08:20):
I don't know what Judge Kelly hadin mind. I don't know what he
planned to do. But yesterday hehanded down a twenty two year prison sentence,
and he said he was glad tohear contrition, but in the end
he viewed it wasn't enough. Andhe also said it was beyond Tario that
whether it's twenty twenty four or twentytwenty eight or twenty thirty two, or
(08:43):
any future election in this country inwhich this case is remembered, people have
to know this can never happen again. Yeah, you know, the term
seditious conspiracy is something that I hadn'theard until after this happened. Like you've
heard of conspiracy charges, but whatis what specific is seditious conspiracy? Well,
(09:03):
it's conspiracy to commit sedition. Whatis sedition? You've heard of remember
from history in high school, theAlien and sedition acts. Through World War
One, there was the Espionage Actand then the Sedition Act. The idea
is a conspiracy to overthrow the dulyelected government of the United States. And
that's a crime with which these menwere charged. It has been charged over
(09:26):
the decades, over the centuries,but rarely, and it essentially is one
of the highest crimes one can commitin the United States. At a jury
found this man and his co defendantsguilty of it. Okay, And can
he appeal or is he eligible forparole or is it pretty much done deal?
Now, well, there is noparole in the federal system. He
can appeal, he can appeal,but in the end it's going to be
up to the DC Circuit Court orthe Supreme Court. But the judge said
(09:50):
yesterday again, a Trump appointed judgesaid that he viewed it as an absolutely
proper sentence. Okay. Avc's StevePortnoy, you always give us such great
inside and I'd forgotten the whole seditiousthing that I learned in high school.
So that was a good and goodre education for me. Thanks again for
your time. Let's get back tosome of the stories coming out of the

I felt like I was on agame show all over again. Well,
I want to say welcome home,because you've been doing a little tech jet
setting. That's right. I wasin Berlin, Germany for a tech show
(14:58):
called IFA. Now many people haveheard of CS in Las Vegas. Yes,
not so many people have heard ofIFA here in the States. I
mean unless you're a techy. Butit's been going on for almost one hundred
years over there, and it's huge, I mean really really massive. We're
talking over two thousand exhibitors. Thenyou've got one hundred and thirty thousand square
(15:18):
meters, which I don't know howthat translates into feet, but I'm sure
it's a lot. And then let'ssee, they had over one hundred eighty
thousand visitors this year from one hundredand thirty eight countries. So needless to
say, it was a ton tosee. And it was even brands that
I had never heard of, becausethis is a worldwide show in its biggest
(15:39):
meeting. So I saw a lotof cool stuff and it was just amazing
to walk. It's almost like atech carnival. That's the best way I
could describe it. Because they're sellingfood and beer and all this other stuff
too. Oh good that they havebeer. It's in Germany, I mean
they have to write. Yeah,I mean, it's like october Fest every
day over there, right exactly.By the way, it's a one hundred
and fifty five thousand, four hundredand seventy eight square yards Okay, perfect,
(16:00):
there you go. So that's alot. CS is. I think
CS a little bit less than that. It's about I think CS about one
hundred and thirty thousand square feet.So, but I mean, the different
the big difference here, Amy isthat this allowed this show allows the public
to come, and that's very differentthan CES. Yes, you have to
(16:21):
get special badges and get invitations andstuff like that, exactly so this you
just pay your whatever it is entryfee, thirty five bucks for the day.
So families come, you know,people that are interested in technology come,
students come. I mean it's reallyneat because you get to see so
much in one place. Like ifI had this as a kid, It's
(16:41):
kind of like going to like acar show, right, like you get
to see all these different cars ondisplay and compare and contrast. It's kind
of like that, but for tech. Oh nice, okay, And so
you got to wander how long wereyou there? I was there for four
days and does the show go forthat whole time? The show is five
days, so a couple of daysas I was there for like kind of
preview stuff. So and then ofcourse I did my radio show from there,
(17:03):
so you know, on the floorat the show, I did two
days. So it was it wasa lot to see. Like I did
not see at all, but Idid see a lot. And some of
the things I saw, you know, like a lot of new products,
a lot of European products, alot of appliances. They're really big into
it, Like this show kind ofstarted out as like a lot of home
appliances and like refrigerators and stuff,but now it's really expanded into just so
(17:27):
many different accessories and TVs and AIand sustainability was such a big deal there.
Okay, what are a couple ofthings that you were very impressed with.
Well, they've got this phone thatthey're selling over in Europe called the
fair Phone, which is a smartphonethat you can repair yourself. So it
has ten user replaceable parts. Soif the battery goes out, you just
(17:48):
pop off the back, pop ina new battery. If the camera goes
out, you can pop in anew camera module. If the speaker goes
bad, you can just pop ina new speaker. So that's really cool.
It's seven hundred dollar phone, andso it's one of those things where
they're just trying to push the envelopewith the industry. They're not saying everyone
should get this, but they're saying, you know what, we do this,
Apple, why can't you do this? Or you know, Samsung,
(18:08):
why can't you do this? Andis it something that usually like the US
will then follow the lead of thosekinds of things, or are they just
all prototype. It's not a prototype. This is real. This is they're
actually selling this, and whether theUS follows the lead. Let's put it
this way. So the iPhone nextactually it's six months. Next week,
they're going to reveal a new iPhoneand it's going the rumor is it's going
(18:30):
to have USBC, which is adifferent connector on the bottom. And the
entire reason that's happening is because Europesaid, you know what, tech companies,
we're sick of you having different chargingcables. You're all going to have
the same one because it makes lifeeasier, kind of like the way we
plug everything into the wall, it'sthe same plug. You don't have to
like think about a different plug.That's what they're doing with phones. And
(18:51):
now Apple is forced to do thathere in the US, and well they
don't have to, but they don'twant to make two different versions of the
iPhone, right. So my pointis, Yeah, these things start in
certain places and they eventually trickle theirway into other places if there's not enough
forces against them. I love theidea being able to replace the battery.
Hey, so when you went andyou came back, you tried out a
(19:11):
something new that's available to Californians.Yeah, this is the new California mobile
driver's license. And so as soonas I as soon as I signed up
for this thing the day it wasavailable. This was a couple of weeks
ago. It took about an hourto get it to my phone. They
had to verify you take a pictureof yourself on your phone, Like it's
weird to like scans your face withlike a bunch of flashing lights. So
(19:32):
seriously, if you have like anysort of like epileptic reaction, do not
do this app Because it was kindof like WHOA a little bit of warning
there, you know, Okay,so you do that. It takes about
a minute for them to do allthe information and then takes a couple of
hours for them to authorize you.Once you do that, you now have
a digital version of your driver's licenseon your phone. And when I went
(19:53):
to the DMV or sorry, whenI went to the TSA so many acronyms.
I said to the guy, Iwas like, hey, do you
mind if I try this out?You know, knowing that I'd be totally
annoying in front of this whole likeline of people. And he's like no,
He's like, I've been wanting tosee how this works. Let me
fire up the machine. So Iwas like the first person that he tried
it with. And the tip Ihave for you is that when you scan
(20:14):
your QR code at the bottom ofthe machine, there's actually a little pop
up window or like a little alertthat says, please tap to share your
information. And the first time wedid this, we did not notice.
So I kept looking at the cameraabove, which you have to look at
to verify your face, and sohe was like, oh, it's not
working. I was like, oh, wait, hold on, I see
a little message on my screen.Okay, let's try it again. So
(20:36):
we did it twice. The secondtime it worked and I never had to
take out my ID and it workedpretty well. It's not part of Apple
Wallet, though, you have tounderstand that, which is kind of annoying.
California is like doing their own thingright now. Hopefully they'll get into
Apple Wallet and Google Wallet so youcan just use it like your tap to
pay at the store, right becauseright now then it would be hard to
to toggle between your boarding pass andyour ID. Well, you don't even
(21:00):
need to when you have this now. They're I mean, lax is like
one of like the futuristic airports wherethey don't even care about your boarding past.
They just scan your ID, okay, and they match it up in
some sort of giant government database thathas all of our information. Sounds great,
right now, What could possibly gowrong? That's a really good question,
okay. KTLA Tech recorder Rich DeMuro, host of rich on Tech.

early yesterday. Four LA County firefighterswere injured. At five fifty, we're
gonna be talking with ABC's Karen Traversabout what the President's doing now that the
first lady has COVID. But rightnow we've got a real treat for you.
It is legendary TV weatherman Fritz Coleman, who's proving that what's old is
new again. Who knew you weresuch a funny guy. I only know
(29:10):
you. It's Fritz Coleman, theweather guy. I know. Well that's
the fun part, especially if someone'snever seen me perform live. I love
the surprise because I think they're goingto be maps and a long range forecast,
and there's not no and we justhave fun. I actually got my
job doing the weather from being acomic. I was working at the comedy
Store in nineteen eighty two. Thisis a true story, and my old
(29:36):
news director from NBC was in theaudience, and I talked on stage about
having done the weather in the Navy. I worked for Armed Forces Television and
I was forced to do the weatheragainst my will and didn't know anything about
it, right, So I tolda little anecdote about that, And so
after the show, this man cameup and introduced himself to him, and
he said, this is a reallyodd question, but do you have any
(29:57):
desire to come to NBC and dosome weekend fill in and vacation relief forecasting
for me? I have a mainweather guy that hasn't had a time off
in a year, and I'd loveto plug you in. I said,
well, I think I mentioned onstage that I don't know anything about whether.
He said, perfect, there's noweather in California. This will worked
(30:18):
out great. So I auditionally gotthe gig, and that's how I started.
So comedy came first. Okay,So I just think it's funny that
the guy in the audience is watchingyou talk about how you had to do
weather stuff kicking and screaming and theNavy, and he goes, hey,
he might be really good on theair. Absolutely. Well, that was
an era when you know, newswas a little more familiar and entertaining.
(30:40):
Yeah, as a matter of fact, our evening newscast where I was,
it was almost like the morning newscastsare now where you know, it's family
stuff and what did you do overthe weekend, and oh, yeah,
here's the news. The news wasalmost a second thought. But as time
went on and there were more stationson the air, and news got more
competitive and the shortening American attention spanand clicker things got more serious. So
(31:03):
and that's that time I was goingto say, and about that time you
said, let me the heck outof here, audios. When did you
retire almost three years ago, twomonths into the pandemic. Oh, we
had just started to do the broadcastfrom home routine, right, and my
boss I was going to retire chestat lockdown. It was a total coincidence,
(31:25):
and my boss said, we doyou hang around for a couple extra
months so we can make the smoothtransition into the home broadcast. And I
said, yes, so I Itwo months into the thing, I bailed,
okay. And then you went onto chapter two, chapter two,
and which is actually chapter three,because you went from chapter one was comedy,
Chapter two is the weather, andnow chapter three you're back on stage
(31:45):
with a show called Unassisted Living.That's right, Okay, tell us about
the show. Well, I doa thing and I made this name up.
I don't know what you would callthis a single topic monologue. I've
been doing this since the beginning ofmy career. My first one was about
being a parent, My second onewas about divorce, my third one was
about the news. My fourth onewas about my just thinking, oh,
(32:08):
I'm getting old. So it wassort of an introductory to my old material
and assisted living is coming to thecoming to the realization that I can't get
out of being old. And sothat's what this last one is. So
it's it's about an hour talking aboutthe comed experiences of aging. It's not.
There are no politics. I lovethat, yeah, because I just
(32:32):
think that people's lives are so darknow that I think they just appreciate being
lifted out of the cares of theirlives and just have a common experience and
laugh and go home. I willtell you that I so appreciate that,
because even like the late night talkshow guys who I used to just love
(32:52):
and it was such fun, justcomic relief, and it's just gotten so
caustic. I can't watch them anymore. I'm like, leave the politics out
of it. There is a timeand place for that. It's not on
late night comedy. And it doesn'tmatter what side of the political spectrum you're
on. It's exhausting, absolutely becauseit's consumed our lives, and cable news
has become this monster that has tobe fed, so you can't really escape
(33:15):
it. And so I want togive people a break from that, particularly
my demographic, which is older,and they don't care that the world's falling
apart because their bodies are falling apart. Yes, they're going and not coming
as we'd like to say. SoI it's just it's it's an hour of
(33:36):
common experience and nothing that. I'mnot trying to test the First Amendment or
anything like that. It's relatively clean. We don't get wrong. We don't
use a lot of profanity. Profanity. I don't know a lot of people
wouldn't brag about that, but Ido because my audience, being older,
appreciates it. If you don't dothat, so well, I watched the
show and it's funny, so youdon't have to be older to see it.
(33:58):
Good semtime. I'm trying to pretendthat I'm not older. Okay,
So the show is unassisted Living andit's on to be That's where I watched
it. God, you're taking itback to a life. Well, I
went back to this theater, theLports House Theater, which is this iconic
theater in North Hollywood and Lankershim Boulevardthat actually started as a vaudeville house and
(34:20):
then went to a big famous moviehouse and now it's a performance space.
And I'm in the smaller room whatthey call the equity Waiver Room, which
is ninety nine seats and below.Because I saw an episode of Hacks where
which smart yes, and they tapedan episode in there and it was so
intimate and they had cocktail tables.Right, I said, that's that's what
I want to do. So Itake my special there. Now I'm back.
(34:44):
We have three more performances September,October, and November. This September
performance is sold out September tenth,but October and November. It's an hour.
I have an opening act at differentopening act every week. And what
I'm trying to do is just totry new material and build a new hour
and press forward, so you'll seesome stuff and it's infant stages and just
have a good time. Oh,that sounds like so much fun. And
(35:05):
where can we get tickets? You'llgo to lportwel Theater dot com, where
you can go to my website,Fritz Coleman Comedy dot com that has more
information than you could ever possibly consumeabout that which has been my life.
Okay, and we're coming up toabout that time on the show, Fritz,
do you want to give me aforecast? When people ask me now
because I've relinquished my license, Isay, look on your phone and never
(35:29):
ask me again. Thank you FritzColeman, so much, so much.
Yeah, it's nice to Sris.Got a little brighter with you there.
Oh. I hope you're enjoying it, and I hope your body's used to
it getting there. Thanks again toFritz Coleman. I have watched the show
on two be as I mentioned,unassisted Living really funny. And if you
(35:52):
want tickets to the show live atthe El Portal Theater in North Hollywood,
you can get those tickets again atel Portal Theater dot com. Right now,
let's say good morning to ABC's WhiteHouse correspondent Karen Travers. Karen,
I didn't know this until I sawyou on TV the other day. You're
a fellow redhead? I am,yes, where am my sister and brother
(36:15):
as well? My grandmother was aredhead? Oh and my brother's kind of
read. But back to serious stuff. The first lady has COVID. Where's
she writing it out? She isin Delaware at the Biden's home there,
and the White House said yesterday she'sexperiencing just mild symptoms, but she won't
(36:35):
be at the White House. Shecan isolate there, and they said she's
working with her Northern Virginia Community Collegeto make sure her classes are covered this
week by a substitute, because ofcourse she's a community college professor and classes
are underway right now. It's alittle bit of an adjustment for her schedule.
The President knows symptoms. As oflast night, when we had last
checked or left, we heard fromthe White House he tested negative Monday,
(36:58):
after the First Lady's positive test.He tested negative again on Tuesday. And
you know the question is when doeshe test again? I was pushing Kareem
jun Pierre on this yesterday. Theywouldn't really say if it would happen today,
saying the CDC doesn't recommend testing everysingle day. When you're a close
contact, said, you know hewill test. It seems because of just
that it's not gonna She didn't getinto the exact science of it, but
(37:22):
he said that the CDC says youdon't have to do it every single day.
Every other day is fine, sohe notably get it every day.
Though I would think that you'd wantto do it like every day if you
had been around somebody who actually hasit, just to find out, I
would think too. But I guessmaybe if you have symptoms, and I
don't want to give bad advice,right to the CDC website to find out
exactly what it says. But theyalso were emphasizing he doesn't have symptoms,
(37:44):
so that's a big part of ittoo. But he will test tomorrow and
before he gets on the plane AirForce one to go to India for a
World Leader summit. Everybody traveling wouldget tested no matter what, So that
could be the next time we getany negative update from the president. Okay,
so playing the hypothetical game, thenhe's doing fine now. But say
(38:04):
he tests positive tomorrow before he getson the plane, does he get to
go or does he send somebody elsein his place? Or what happens.
You know, a lot of questionsabout that yesterday, about contingency plans.
The Vice President's traveling right now.She's in Asia right now for another World
leaders summit. No surprise. TheWhite House is not like hypotheticals, especially
when it's a hypothetical positive COVID casefor the president. They did not want
(38:27):
to give any sense of what thecontingency plans are, just saying the trip
is full seam ahead right now.But Jake Sullivan, who was at the
briefing yesterday to preview the trip,did say that, you know, the
administration has a lot of experience withCOVID issues when it comes to summits because
they've been doing it since day one, and that other world leaders have given
virtual remarks before. He wasn't sayingthat was going to happen, but I
(38:47):
think just notably pointing out that ifthere was some change because of something happening
here at the White House, itwould not be unprecedented. Okay, ABC,
Scaron Travers, thank you so much. Hope you get tested too,
Yeah, thank you, all right, we'll talk to you soon. Let's
get back to some of the storiescoming out of the KFI twenty four hour
newsroom. Long Beach public Works islooking into a dangerous intersection where cars have
(39:12):
plowed into an antique shop. Twocrashes into the building in the last two
months has the Magnolia and Willow storeowner Emily Yep frustrated with city officials.
I tried so hard to get safetyballards, put in any kind of safety
measures, and they just said they'restudying the intersection. Public Works director Eric
Lopez says the city's trying to addtemporary safety measures while more permanent solutions are
(39:32):
being designed. It just takes alot of work and a lot of money
to bring that vision together. Thestore owner says the most recent crash into
her shop was Saturday, where acar went right through her front doors.
Chris Adler KFI News. The FEDShave sued so Cal Edison for more than
one hundred twenty million dollars in firesuppression costs and other damages. The US
(39:53):
attorney claims the one hundred fourteen thousandacre fire in the Angelist National Forest was
caused by a branch that wasn't properlymaintained by SoCal Edison's tree service contractor.
The fire in twenty twenty destroyed,one hundred seventy one buildings and one hundred
seventy eight vehicles. More than onehundred miles of trails and several campgrounds remain
(40:13):
closed. SoCal Edison declined to commenton the pending litigation. A Republican center
from a senator from Ohio is pushingfor a ban on federal mask mandates.
The proposed legislation, introduced yesterday aimsto prevent federal agencies from requiring masks on
airlines, public transit, and inpublic schools. It's known as the Freedom
(40:34):
to Breathe Act. The bill wouldalso prevent those industries from refusing service to
people who choose not to wear amask. The CDC says it does not
have plans to call for the reinstatementof mask mandates. It says it is
focused on rolling out a new boostershot this month ahead of the expected peak
spread season of COVID in November andDecember. From the What in the Heck
(40:55):
Is Wrong With People? Department.A sea lion is recovering after it was
stabbed in the face near Channel Islands. The sea lion was first spotted on
Monday near Hollywood Beach. It hada knife wedged in its snout, so
volunteers surrounded it and captured it nearthe boat launch ramp at Channel Islands Harbor.
A member of the Channel Islands Marineand Wildlife Institute then showed up and
(41:17):
was able to get the knife outof its snout. Luckily, it didn't
really hit anything vital and the woundis expected to heal on its own,
So Disney is hinting that the capis coming back. As you may recall,
there has been the limited run ofthe Marvel musical Rogers the Musical at
(41:42):
Disney California Adventure. It was runningthis week and I know Nick saw it
a couple of times, Nick polyo'keenny. And then it ended its run
on August thirty first. But thenthis mysterious teaser thing showed up on the
