Speaker 1 (00:01):
Good morning, Kerrent County. This is the seventeen News at
Sunrise podcast, your news on your schedule, presented by Rodriguez
and associates.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
We begin with the case we've been following all week
here at seventeen News, shocking and disturbing new details and
the death of Genesis Mada. Court documents have been released
detailing the events leading up to the eight year old
girl's tragic death. Her father and stepmother are accused of
her abuse, torture, and murder. Thirty one year old Raymada
and twenty seven year old Griselia Busta Monte are charged

(00:39):
with a multitude of felonies, including first degree murder and torture.
Reports say the abuse of Genesis occurred over two days.
The scene was reportedly so gruesome an officer appeared shocked
and ordered everyone out of the room. They also face
additional counts of torture and cruelty for abuse against an
eleven year old boy his first initial J and his

(01:01):
last name Mata and Child Protective Services had an active
case against Ray Mada because a boy whose name had
been redacted had been missing school. Boost Demante said the
abuse happened because Genesis would not quote. Listen boost. Demante
and Mada are due back in court next week. A
detailed report of the documents are on our website kget

(01:22):
dot com, but we do want to warn you those
details are graphic.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Family of Genesis have launched a gofundmet to help lay
her to rest as they navigate this heartbreaking loss. That
page describes Genesis as a beautiful spirit who's full of
life and loved anything that sparkled. If you'd like to donate,
scan that QR code you see on your screen. You
can also find a link to that fundraiser on our
website kget dot com.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Seventeen News has been covering this story since it broke
over the weekend. You can find all of our continuing
coverage on our website kget dot com slash Genesis.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Questions are being raised about how to spot child abuse
from the outside in the aftermath of genesis modest killing.
Seventeen's Jacob Clark spoke with experts on how you can
help identify abuse or neglect of a child.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
I think this is probably one of the worst cases,
if not the worst, that Bakersfield has seen I know.
For us at the Open Door Network, this is the
worst case that we've heard about within recent years. There's
been other significant cases, but I think this type of
torture is really unprecedented, and I think this type of
torture is just really unheard of, especially with parents inflicting

(02:35):
the torture on their own child.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
Lauren Skidmore, CEO of the Open Door Network, says, the
abuse of Genesis Mata goes farther than traditional.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
Abuse, but I will say this is the worst case scenario.
What happened to Genesis is the worst case scenario.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
Organizations like the Open Door Network work with mandated reporters
who are required by law to report abuse in childcare
workers to prevent harm or neglect of children, likewise with
the current County Network for Children or Casey NC. President
Tom Corson says, the signs of a child being abused
can vary.

Speaker 6 (03:06):
Child abuse is real, and we encourage people that if
you suspect abuse or neglect any form of fashion, and
I say suspect, you don't have to have any evidence
or anything, you make that phone call the Child Protective
Service Hotlight or nine to one one. It's critical we
have to be actively involved in our kids' lives.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
Courson says there's never a circumstance too small. Anyone must
and should report neglect or abuse if they believe it's ongoing.

Speaker 6 (03:32):
Obviously, the physical abuse is pretty obvious. A lot of
times there's bruising and there's markings. A lot of it
is behavior. If a kid all of a sudden becomes withdrawn,
if a kid all of a sudden becomes depressed or
talking about self harm, those kinds of things you got
to look for these cues.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
Experts say infants are often the easy target in the
form of baby shaking, which can have deadly consequences. This
doll that CASEYNC showed seventeen News depicts the three levels
of severe baby shaking.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
So we turn on the dolls and the baby starts time.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
So the first.

Speaker 7 (04:04):
Stage jump straight to the number two.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
As you can tell, it was literally a.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Matter of seconds.

Speaker 8 (04:11):
I didn't use too much force when shaking the baby,
and it already affected the child's vision and behavioral harm.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
To a child can occur within seconds and with little effort,
of course, and says, what victims like Genesis deserve most
of all is justice.

Speaker 6 (04:28):
I'm as appalled as anybody else that I've been in
this business for thirty eight years, and I really hope
justice prevails in this case. And I can't say how
sad we are to see these kids and families go
through this.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
If you suspect a child as being abused or neglected,
don't wait, please speak up. Call the current county child
Abuse hotline at six thirty one six zero one to
one or the national hotline at one eight hundred five
four zero, four thousand, available twenty four to seven. Support
services for child abuse victims, including counseling and emergency services,
are also available through the open Door Network. It can

(05:05):
be reached at three two two nine one nine nine
from eight thirty am to five pm Monday through Friday.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
We are back now with herere seventeen wildfire Watch. Firefighters
this morning are making progress on the state's current largest wildfire,
the Gifford Fire. It broke out Friday afternoon on Highway
one sixty six east of Santa Maria, west of Kern.
It spends both Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties.
CalFire says the Gifford Fire has exploded to more than

(05:33):
ninety one thousand acres and its nine percent contained. Officials
have reported four injuries, including a firefighter who was treated
for dehydration. The area is under evacuation orders if you
do have plans to head west. Highway one sixty six
is closed from Highway one oh one in New Kayama.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. Back here

(05:55):
at home, a building on fire and Fraser Park explodes
to three acres. Take a look at this video now.
This was reported just after one in the morning on
West End Drive. The flame spread to nearby brush, causing
the massive blaze. Crews were able to gain the upper
hand at about three am, and the fire now appears
to be contained. No injuries have been reported.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
Not a news from our state capital. The twenty ninth
annual Lake Tahoe Summit was yesterday and state leaders from
California and Nevada came together to show their support and
keeping Tahoe blue. Leaders took to the podium to praise
efforts made to protect the lake and share the common
message of keeping it clean for generations to come. Bipartisan
lawmakers say there is one piece of national legislation that

(06:40):
has helped. The Lake Tahoe Restoration Act, supported both by
Democrats and Republicans for more than two.

Speaker 7 (06:46):
Decades, everything from improving water clarity, boasting, wildfire mitigation, preventing
the spread of invasive species. Because its these kinds of
things that when we're pragmatic, when we're bipartisan, when we
collaborate and we just look to solve the problem, that's
when we are always the most effective.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
However, some Democrats voice and concerns over the Trump administrations
cuts to the Force Service. They say these cuts will
only hurt the region with not only response to wildfires,
but also funding to research and testing aimed at keeping
the water clean and in the meantime, more and more
Republicans are reportedly leaving California and contributing to a population

(07:30):
growth slowdown. According to new data from the Public Policy
Institute of California, thirty nine percent of people leaving the
Golden State from twenty twenty to twenty twenty four were Republicans.
Data shows they're flocking to more right leaning states, making.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
News around the nation. Now, last night, officials identified the
suspect and the Fort Stuart shooting that wounded five service members.
Sergeant Cornelius Radford was reportedly assigned to Fort Stewart three
years ago. According to an investigators Radford shot his colleagues
in the second Armored Brigade Combat Team area just before
eleven yesterday morning. Radford was captured about forty minutes later.

(08:10):
President Trump has been briefed on the incident, and Homeland
Security is also monitoring the situation.

Speaker 9 (08:16):
Army Criminal Investigation Division is on site to ensure that
the perpetrator of this atrocity, which is exactly what it is,
will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
The FBI also says it's ready to assist if needed.
As authorities investigated motive. We're told all of the victims
are expected to survive. A press conference will be held
later this morning, not.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
An ins mar say Capital or from Capitol Hill, and
two very significant deadlines in the Capitol coming up. One
has just passed the President's tariff plan as of midnight,
now in effect, but not without some last minute changes.
In a possible addition, while today is the eve of
a White House ultimatum to the Kremlin, I'm mad a
ceasefire in Russia's war with Ukraine. Nbc'sj Ray is tracking

(09:04):
it all and has more from Washington.

Speaker 10 (09:06):
Apple is announcing that it will in an oval Office
meeting with Apple CEO Tim Cooks, touting the company's promise
to invest six hundred billion dollars in US manufacturing over
the next four years.

Speaker 11 (09:18):
President Trump announces a new terraff on semiconductors and chips
with one caveat so.

Speaker 12 (09:24):
One hundred percent tariff on all chips and semiconductors coming
into the United States.

Speaker 6 (09:30):
But if you've made a commitment to.

Speaker 12 (09:31):
Build, or if you're in the process of building, as
many are, there is no tariff.

Speaker 11 (09:36):
Specifics, including when the tech teriffs will take place and
exactly how US manufacturers will qualify for an exemption still
aren't clear. What is clear, though, is the President's frustration
with India.

Speaker 12 (09:48):
They're fueling the war machine and are they going to
do that?

Speaker 8 (09:51):
Then I'm not going to be.

Speaker 11 (09:52):
Happy raising the country's terriff from twenty five to fifty
percent just hours before the plan goes online as a
punishment for buyer oil from Russia, announcing that decision as
Special Envoy Steve Whitkoff meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin
in Moscow ahead of a Friday deadline for increased US
economic sanctions. That there's no ceasefire with Ukraine. The president

(10:15):
on social media, calling the meeting highly productive and writing
great progress was made, suggesting that there may now be
a path to face to face meetings with Putin and
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.

Speaker 6 (10:28):
That road was.

Speaker 12 (10:30):
Long and continues to be long, but there's a good
chance that there will be a meeting very soon.

Speaker 11 (10:36):
A White House official telling NBC News there's no set
plan or location, but that the meeting could take place
as early as next week. Now it's important to remember
there have been previous rumors of a summit. Even the
President acknowledging how tenuous this situation is, saying, quote, I've
been disappointed before with this one. Jay Gray, NBC News, Washington.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Welcome back. A dog who started his life with an
uncertain future is now proving to be a promising rescue animal.
Meet Loki. His story began at Kern County Animal Services.
He spent several weeks there before a foster took him in.
What started as a temporary arrangement quickly turned into a
lifelong bond, and Loki became a permanent member of his

(11:21):
new family, and he's also a promising addition to the
Bakersfield Search and rescue team. The nine month old pup
is now training to become a certified Human Remains detection canine.
The search team says Loki is showing intelligence and drive
and he's picking up obedience training quickly.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
How cute is that? How sweet? I always think it's
so cool that dogs can learn things like that. I
mean that they are so much more intelligent than they
give off. That is crazy. Well, I'm so happy for Loki.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Welcome back. In education news, back to school is right

Speaker 2 (13:30):
But time goes by fast.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
Time does go by fast.

Speaker 15 (13:34):
I'm proud to be part of the Bakershiald community, the culture,
the arts, and the music. I'm so glad my parents

We're celebrating a local firefighter who's back on the job
after beating cancer for a second time. If you remember
the story of Randy Raymond, he is a CACFD firefighter
who was diagnosed with testicular cancer again after doctors thought
they removed it. But now, after months of treatment and
fighting perhaps the toughest battle of his life, Randy's back
to doing what he loves, fighting fires. Seventeenth Justin White has.

Speaker 11 (14:27):
The story.

Speaker 14 (14:29):
Pumped back at my family, back at my boys. I'm
excited to be here.

Speaker 16 (14:34):
That's what Raymond had to say on his first day back.
After several months and five rounds of chemotherapy, Raymond finally
returned to Station forty six in Lamont Wednesday morning. The
journey to get to this point a tough one, but
in Raymond's eyes, good company made it a little easier.

Speaker 14 (14:50):
I think it could have been worse. I think I
had the best family in the world around me. My
crew called me every day, all my battalion called me
every day. My whole department called me every day. Nobody
left me alone. People sitting with me, people coming.

Speaker 8 (15:06):
I know.

Speaker 14 (15:06):
My captain came and sat, and my engineer came and sat,
and we just hung out for my eight hours. And
the day went by a lot faster than when no
one's there.

Speaker 16 (15:15):
So on the first day back, what's on the to
do list?

Speaker 14 (15:19):
I'm cooking, So I get to come back and I
get to cook. Well, probably I'll see what's changed around
the department, seeing new rules, we've got, any equipment changes,
figure out what's broken, what's not broken, and Enjoba first day.

Speaker 16 (15:35):
After working out with trainers, nutritionists, and more, Raymond says
he's stronger than ever now now to use it back
in the field fighting fires and saving lives, and while
he does it, motivating others fighting a battle like his.

Speaker 14 (15:49):
I have gained more strength than when I had left,
and I feel better than when I left. So I'm
just I tell anyone that's going through it, You've got
the willpower to come back. You can come back like nothing.

Speaker 16 (16:04):
Justin White seventeen news.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Turning the news around Kerrent County. Yesterday marked farm Workers
Appreciation Day. It's a day to celebrate and think those
who put food on our table. So numerous organizations including
La Campesina Radio, Current Family Healthcare, and Adventist Health gathered
at a field about twenty minutes north of the Grapevine.
They provided local farm workers with free lunch, information about

(16:31):
ice raids and health coverage health screenings, along with music.

Speaker 14 (16:36):
This is just a celebrator hardworking the farm workers.

Speaker 16 (16:40):
I'm bringing what's our table.

Speaker 13 (16:41):
It's the back backing work that nobody he wants to do.

Speaker 14 (16:44):
I really liked people think about it. Working in the fields,
they know how to struggle.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Here supt News Business What's sponsored by Belly Strong Credit.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Union Welcome back to the CEO. Six Flags is stepping
down amid financial woes and declining attendance at the company's
theme parks. Richard A. Zimmermann will step down by the
end of twenty twenty five, but will continue to lead
the company until a successor is named. The announcement comes
as six Flags report its second quarter revenue falling well

(17:19):
below expectations. The company has also revised its full year
earnings forecasts downward and is considering selling land and other
assets due to declining visitor attendants. Despite the challenges, six
Flags says it is focused on managing the transition and
exploring options to strengthen its business moving forward.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
In Claire's has filed for Chapter eleven bankruptcy protection as
it struggles with a big debt load and changing consumer tastes.
It marks the second time since twenty eighteen that the
teen accessories retailer filed for bankruptcy. It follows other teen retailers,
including Forever twenty one, which filed in March for a
second time and eventually closed down US business. Claares operates

(18:01):
more than twenty seven hundred stores throughout North America and Europe.
I know I grew up going to Claire's, so definitely
sad to see them struggling.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Meanwhile, Spirit Airlines is offering trips to two new Tropical
Caribbean destinations. The airline announced Tuesday that flyers will be
able to travel to Belize and Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
out of the Fort Lauderdale Airport. Spirit says on November
twenty one, travelers will be able to take once a
day flights on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays from Fort Lauderdale

(18:32):
to Belize City. The airline is promoting the new trip
with an eighty five dollars one way fair from Florida.
Spirit says once a day flights on Thursdays, Saturdays and
Sundays from Fort Lauderdale two Grand Cayman and the Cayman
Islands will launch on December fourth with a one way
special fare promo of sixty six dollars. Once the offerings begin,

(18:52):
Spirit says they will be the only airline to fly
non stop to the destinations.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
The price, the hours when hands needed to own or
operate a small family dairy farm seems to be pushing
some generational businesses off the industry map. Caitlin Ashbob breaks
down how rule agriculture is feeling the punch of big
industry changes.

Speaker 8 (19:13):
Without adaptation, Many generational farms are souring under pressure and
falling off the map Entirely. Prices are high and so
is demand. The industry is growing to prefer corporate dairies
with faster product turnover over the hours and hands needed
to operate a family owned business. Tom Trantham who owns
Happy Cow Creamery, said when they opened in the seventies,

(19:35):
they were surrounded by more than five hundred dairies. Now
it's closer to eighteen.

Speaker 17 (19:41):
You know, people look at it and they go, do
I want to work eighty hours a week milk and
cows seven days a week and growing crops and having
to do all that? Or do I want to sell
my land and walk away with some money.

Speaker 8 (19:53):
Milking, processing, and selling products on site has helped Happy
Cows survive and stay on the map. The issue not
only causing the classic American family farm to fade, but
now it's bleeding into large animal vet medicine too. Adaptation
means survival for family operated farms like Happy Cow. Soon
they'll be facing another drastic change. They need to replace

(20:14):
their old dairy facilities. So what they're doing is they're
going to build a new one out here at this pasture.
This is where the cows typically go grazing. But this
new facility will have advanced technology and plenty of other
resources that help them to adapt, to sustain and survive
what's going on across the Upstate.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
They'll have the resources to.

Speaker 8 (20:32):
Be able to keep selling on site and make sure
that they're maintaining that character that they've had since they
opened in the seventies and eighties.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Entertainment News now singer Kelly Clarkson is pausing her in
Las Vegas residency so she could be with her family.

Speaker 6 (20:50):
Shaving.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
In a post on social media, Clarkson says her August
dates will be pushed back because her ex husband Brandon Blackstock,
is sick. She apologized, saying, quote, my children's father has
been ill, and at this moment, I need to be
fully present for them. Caesar's Colisseum says fans impacted by
cancelations can hold on in tickets for Clarkson shows in
twenty twenty six. Fans also have thirty days to get

(21:25):
a refund. Clarkson will continue her residency starting in November.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
And sorry Chapel Ron fans. Despite releasing two two singles
this year, the Grammy winner says she isn't rushing her
sophomore album. Ron's twenty twenty three album, The Rise and
Fall of a Midwest Princess, skyrocketed her to fame last year. Recently,
she told Vogue that her second project quote doesn't exist yet.
Rode says she can't make good music when she's forcing herself.

(21:53):
And she added that it took five years to write
the first one and it will probably take at least
five more to write the second one. That's crazy. You
gotta you really gotta be dedicated if you want to
stay in the limelight for five more years. But I
think she can do it.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
I can't believe those songs are two years old already.
Maybe they were like made popular.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
I would say they were made popular twenty twenty four,
for sure. But I can't believe she's gonna wait another
five years to release an album. I mean, obviously that
could change, but that's a long time to stay.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Out of the cookball line. Half a decade.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
Yeah, we'll see. We'll check in with y'all in twenty thirty.
See what Chapel Roun's.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Up to then. And just in case you weren't sick
of hearing about the bubas, yeah, h boo booz. Oh
my bad the boo boos. Yet, Disney is now jumping
on the trend.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
And by now you've probably seen these little guys. I
know we have. They've gone viral for their popularity after
several celebrities supported them on their bags and outfits, and
now Disney has their own version. These Japanese plush toys
have been named the U Putcha cham Line. That's a
combination of words meaning teary eyed, chubby, and cute. The

(22:59):
toy it's were previously available in Japan and China, and
now for the first time, they've been added to Disneystore
dot Com, making them available here in the States. There
are renditions of a classic character is like Winnie the Poo, Stitch, Chippendale,
and Dumbo. See those are a lot cuter than the
other Laboo boos that are out right now.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
Is oh you missed it.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
In the past few weeks, we've we've really dissected the
Laboo boo here on Sunrise, not the Laboo bas, the
Laboo boos. It's I could not explain it to you.
There are these little plush toys that people wear on
their belt loop or they wear them, they bring them everywhere.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
I don't wear one.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
There's rare ones that are people will buy for millions,
not for millions. Yes, we've dissected it on after Sunrise,
but they're crazy. But I think these ones are really cute.
I think the normal ones.

Speaker 13 (23:54):
Look really creepy.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
There's creepier ones.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Oh yeah, these ones are cute.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah they're Disney theme.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Yeah, look like precious little regular stuft animals. The normal
labooboos I've seen though, those do not get a do
not get a pass from me yet.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
All right, that's off the talk.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
I'll have to fill Anthony in over the commercial rank.
What laboo boos are?

Speaker 8 (24:25):
No?

Speaker 3 (24:26):
My jaw is on the floor right now. An unexpected
house guest for one Colorado family after a bold brown
bear grabs the door handle and strolls right into the home.
Look at him.

Speaker 14 (24:37):
Wow, he is confident.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Wildlife authorities are warning residents that bears are generally capable
of entering buildings like this, so they should take extra
precautions and maybe lock the door next time. Are you kidding?

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Lock your door at night is a red flag.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
That is a red flag.

Speaker 6 (24:53):
But look at him.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
You have a lot of people in those mountain communities.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
I mean, there's no need to lock your door. They're
really there's them.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
Yeah, but so what was the aftermath? How did the
family figure out.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
If they weren't there? But still that is scary, Like,
you don't mess with the brown bear?

Speaker 10 (25:09):
No, don't you just show them.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Out and they run away.

Speaker 14 (25:13):
Yeah, nonchalant.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Just let me open the door, Let me just come
in and take a peek.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
Did they hear sounds downstairs and then realize that a
literal bear was in their house? I mean, this video
is crazy, but I just want to know what happened
on the inside.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Oh no, good for the bear.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
Though, hopefully got something good.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
