Speaker 1 (00:01):
Good morning, Kern County. This is the seventeen News at
Sunrise podcast, Your News on your Schedule, presented by Rodriguez
and Associates.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
We begin this.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Morning with the traffic alert Highway one seventy eight. We'll
see daytime closures through Kern River Canyon this week as
crews continued to repair down power lines. The lines came
toppling down Friday evening, prompting the highway's closure. Southern California
Edison worked through the weekend to repair them, but that
work isn't done yet. The closure will be in place
each day through eight am to five pm through the
(00:38):
mouth of the canyon to Barrell Road. CHP expects the
highway to fully reopen on Friday.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Nottaway's signature issue here at seventy two News Pedestrian Safety.
A man was killed overnight after he was struck by
two separate cars in East Bakersfield. It happened on Union Avenue,
just south of thirty fourth Street around ten twenty last night.
Bakersfield police say the man was crossing Union Avenue outside
of a crosswalk when a pickup truck struck him. Then,
(01:07):
when the man was still down in the roadway, a
second vehicle struck him. The first driver stayed to cooperate
with investigators and did not show signs of impairment, but
the second driver took off and has not yet been identified.
The identity of the pedestrian will be released later by
the corner. Anyone with information on this crash is urged
to call the Bakersfield Police Department. By our account, this
(01:29):
is the twenty eighth pedestrian killed on Kern County roadways
this year.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
And now a news making headlines around the state, and
a follow up on a story we brought you yesterday,
A deal to allow more oil production right here in
Kern County is one step closer to reality. While maker
sent SB two thirty seven to Governor Newsom's desk over
the weekend, and if he signed it the last minute deal,
it will allow up to two thousand new oil wells
per year in Kern County. The bill says it will
(01:57):
help the state brace and respond to the closure of
the Northern California Velero refinery and the Southern California Phillip
sixty six refinery. Those two closures alone are expected to
reduce California's oil refining capacity by about twenty percent.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
This piece of legislation benefits every Californian. The jobs and
economic prosperity will come from Kern County being able to
restart our oil industry, and then our goal is to
help stabilize that that energy price at the pump for
every Californian.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Democrats note the legislation will restrict offshore oil drilling. Environmental
groups are opposed to the proposal, along with a handful
of Democrats who voted against it. They argue the bill
is a step backwards for the state's environmental and climate goals.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
While the bill is still awaiting the governor's signature, it's
raising hopes for a rejuvenated oil industry after years of
regulatory resistance within the Newsome administration. Seventeen's Vincent Demanti looks
at how the bill could pump new life and new
jobs back into Kerrn's oil patch.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Kern County is the home to seas of oil rigs,
but there might be more coming on the horizon. Senate
Bill two three seven would allow the creation of up
to two thousand oil rigs in the county each year.
This can mean some long awaited jobs for workers in
the oil industry.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
Over the last couple of years here in Current County,
there's been a lot of uncertainty when it comes to permitting.
There's been very small amounts of permits that have been
handed out by the state of California. Now there is certainty.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
The bill was introduced by Artado along with four other
members of the California Senate. Senators stayed long into the
weekend negotiating the terms of the Billhurtado says she worked
closely with other elected officials from Kerrent County to make
sure the community was represented.
Speaker 7 (03:45):
If Kern County is going to bail out Californians and
stabilize a fuel prices, then we also need to ensure
that the state of California provides the appropriate mitigation and
community benefit supports.
Speaker 8 (04:04):
That it deserves.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Those benefits, Hurtado says, came in the form of seven
million dollars that will be given back to the current community,
including two million towards child protective services, two million towards
valley fever research, two million to the Kern County Fire Department,
and one million towards the expansion of the meadows Field Airport.
Director of Current Citizens for Energy, Tracy Leech, says that
(04:26):
no one produces energy and oil quite like Kern.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
We need to put Kerrent County back in the driver's
seat producing oil.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
We do it the best.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
No one produces it as.
Speaker 9 (04:38):
Good as we do, and we've been doing it for
over one hundred years.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Kern County is the number one producer of oil within
the state, accounting for nearly seventy six percent of all production.
The California Resource Corporation, one of the largest oil companies
in the county, is celebrating the bill. In a statement,
c RC said, quote, Senate Bill two three seven is
a welcome step forward our state. It also ensures continued
(05:02):
stability for our economy, protecting working families from price shocks,
and safeguarding good paying, union and skilled trade jobs that
sustain communities.
Speaker 10 (05:12):
End quote.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Today, the CRC announced a seven hundred and seventeen million
dollar merger with local oil company Berry Petroleum, a move
that will expand the company's ability to produce oil. Leech
says that oil production alone is important for growing jobs.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
Thirty five thousand jobs exist in current because of oil production.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
We need to get that back.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
We need to get back to producing the energy Californians need.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
The governor has until October thirteenth to sign the new
bill into law. Until then, the governor is sitting on
an oil well full of new Kern County jobs. Vince
and Amante seventeen News.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
And now to You're seventeen Court watching.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
New details on the CSUB assistant basketball coach arrested on
suspicion of pimping and pandering. Court documents show Kevin Mays
had hidden files to store quote obvious child pornography. Last month,
the Bakersfield Police Department received an anonymous tip that Mays
was collecting money from a woman who was being prostituted
by him. Officers arrested Mays earlier this month. They then
(06:16):
searched his car and home, and that's where they found
firearms and quote large amounts of marijuana and meth. Mays
pleaded not guilty to eleven charges, But according to new
court documents obtained by seventeen News, investigators were looking through
Kevin Mays's cell phone when they found more than three
thousand files with titles consistent with child pornography.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Documents show some.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Videos had girls who appeared to be between four to
six years old. The findings led to more charges against Mays,
and he is set to be arraigned today. Maz is
currently on administrative leave from CSUB.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Also in court today, a Bakersfield man suspected of killing
a woman with the same last name as him. Last Thursday,
Bakersfield police officers responded to two Lane Park Place near
Stockdale Highway and Buenavista Road. There, they found Emma Yokanda
Wildric dead from a gunshot wound. Officers arrested eighty three
year old Michael Wildric in connection of the killing. Neighbors
(07:12):
describe both Michael and Emma Wildric as a couple. Wildric
was officially charged with first degree murder yesterday, though he
did not show up to court. Alter Back making news
around the nation. We expect chargers to be filed today
by the Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray against Tyler Robinson,
the man arrested in connection with the assassination.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Of Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
As the chargers are filed, memorials across the country continue,
as well as the fallout and finger pointing over political violence.
NBCs Both to Your Mom has the latest details from Washington.
Speaker 11 (07:48):
Twenty two year old Tyler Robinson is expected to face
several charges, including aggravated murder, in connection with the attack
on conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. According to The Washington Post,
Robinson appears to have confessed in an online chat not
long before turning himself in, writing, Hey guys, I have
bad news for you all. It was me at UVU yesterday.
(08:11):
I'm sorry for all of this. The post, citing two
people familiar with the chat and screenshots. Another possible sign
that may be part of the evidence a text message exchange,
says FBI Director Cash Battel.
Speaker 12 (08:24):
His family has collectively told investigators that he subscribed to
left wing ideology and he had a text message exchange
he the suspect with another individual in which he claimed
that he had an opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk
and he was going to do it because of his
hatred for what Charlie stood for.
Speaker 11 (08:45):
The FBI says the suspect is not cooperating, but points
out they found the suspect's DNA on two pieces of evidence.
While authorities haven't confirmed a motive. The President blames the left.
Speaker 9 (08:56):
Looks like he was radicalized over the internet, and this
radical on the left.
Speaker 11 (09:01):
He's a left The Trump Administration's effort to find and
punish Americans who criticized Charlie Kirk intensifying, including measures to
use the federal government to crack down on what the
administration called vast domestic terrorist networks.
Speaker 10 (09:16):
We're going to use every resource we have at the
Department of Justice, Homeland Security, and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle,
and destroy these networks.
Speaker 11 (09:25):
Back in Utah, classes resume on campus as the suspect
remains on special watch status, meaning closer supervision now authorities
save Robinson will stay on special watch status until passing
a mental health evaluation. Meanwhile, plans for a massive memorial
service are underway for this Sunday in Kirk's home state
(09:46):
of Arizona. The service is expected to draw thousands at
State Farm Stadium, including President Trump and Washington both to
Your Mom and BC News.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Meanwhile, here at home, a patriotic parade and candle light
vigil has been organized in honor of Charlie Kirk. It's

In making news around the world, President Nicholas Maduro of
Venezuela is vowing to defend the country against US aggression.
This after the US military conducted another missile strike on
a boat off the coast of Venezuela yesterday. Three people
died in that strike. President Trump says the boat was
carrying quote, violent drug traffickers, cocaine and fetanol, Although the
(10:42):
Trump administration offered no evidence to the claim. Venezuelan President
Nicholas Maduro said his country would defend itself against this
US aggression. The strike comes two weeks after the US

Israel has been attacking the city in recent days, destroying
residential buildings and killing hundreds of Palestinians. Health officials in
Gaza say medical services are stretched to the breaking point.
The United Nations Children Agency UNICEF says any expansion of
Israel's military operations will make conditions for children in.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Gaza even worse.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Israel says the goal of the ground defensive is to
destroy the terror group MAAS.

From our seventeenth follow up file. Today marks eleven years
since Bakersfield's Matt Odam was murdered in the front yard
of his home and still no arrests in the case.
Odam was found with a traumatic injury on Waterbury Drive

Meantime, new numbers from the Bakersfield Police Department show officers
responded to more than forty two thousand emergency calls in August,
and that's twice as many calls compared.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
To the month of May.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
BPD's l datest crime staffs show the department responded to
one hundred and fifty vehicle thefts, four homicides, thirty four robberies,
one hundred and thirty six aggravated assaults, ninety three burglaries,
and five cases of rape just in the month of August.
Please say, these numbers are subject to change, and the
City of Delano is aiming to strengthen trust between law
(15:20):
enforcement and the people they serve.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
The city.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
The Delano Police Department, community leaders and attorneys are hosting
a town hall this week on Understanding Rights and Roles.
They'll explain how people can better understand their legal rights,
the role of law enforcement, and available resources for immigrant families.
There will also be an open question and answer session.
The event is open to the public and it will
be held this Wednesday from five to six thirty pm
(15:44):
at the Jefferson Center.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
All Right in your seventeen business watch this morning, the
FED is expected to cut interest rates for the first
time since twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
This week.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Federal Reserve Board begins its two day meeting today to
determine whether the latest economic data warrants a rate cut.
Last week's disappointing labor report and a slight increase in
inflation and unemployment has analysts certain reduction will be coming.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
The question is.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
By how much, though Most bets are on a quarter
point draw, but some experts feel it could be more
aggressive a half point cut. The decision will be announced tomorrow. Meantime,
fewer job postings are making it harder to find a job.
An analyst at the Job Website Indeed says the probability
of losing a job has not gone up, but if
(16:37):
you do become unemployed, you'll likely stay that way longer
than usual. Economists say a six month unemployment stretch often
signals a turning point in someone's job search. They've probably
run out of unemployment or severance benefits by then, and
that leaves them in a shakier financial situation.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Well here in California, consumers are facing a significant rise
in grocery prices. Data from the Consumer Price indexed from
June through August showed a three point three percent price
raise that marks a substantial increase from the one point
five percent rate last year. The increased costs are attributed
to higher production and distribution expenses, as well as new tariffs.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Unimported food items.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Meats, poultry, fish, and eggs have seen the biggest price hikes,
followed by fruits, vegetables, and non alcoholic beverages.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Welcome back and making news around town.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
The Fox Theater is undergoing some big, big changes this week,
from a theater to.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
More of a nightclub ballroom.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
How that's going to work, you may ask, Well, seventeenth
Robert Price has the story.
Speaker 14 (17:41):
If you're going to transform Baker's Field's beloved Fox Theater
in a fashion this dramatic, you might as well get
more than just one use out of it.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
That's the thinking.
Speaker 14 (17:49):
Behind the metamorphosis of this historic theater into a ballroom,
from a theater into a dinner theater.
Speaker 9 (17:57):
Organizers are in the process of building a soak called
floating floor over the Fox's fixed seats in order to
create a raised level surface for tables and chairs. It
will take hundreds of man hours to accomplish. That's not
the effort you undertake for one event, So the Fox
will host at least three showcasing the new floor. The
transformation was organized and paid for by the Current Dance
(18:20):
Alliance and its many benefactors for their tenth anniversary gala
this coming Saturday. The floating floor will remain in place
for two events next week, the Downtown Business Association's Taste
of Downtown on September twenty fifth and The Fox Theatre's
Golden Age Gala on September twenty seventh. Andrea Hanson of
the Current Dance Alliance and the Fox Theater Foundation has
(18:42):
been down this road before. She transformed the Fox for
her wedding reception in twenty thirteen and again for Friends'
wedding reception in twenty eighteen, and she'll never forget the
look on the faces of guests as they arrived for
the festivities.
Speaker 8 (18:55):
What we're doing is we're building out the stage over
all of the seats in the house, all the way
to the back wall. For many people in Current County,
they know this as a theater venue, but for two
weeks it will turn into a ballroom where tables and
chairs will be set on this massive platform for the
audience to enjoy all different types of experiences with three
different Current County nonprofits.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Ron Holbert, co founder and former owner of Jeronco Rentals,
came out of retirement to pitch in for this cause.
Speaker 10 (19:22):
It's unbelievable that you can transform the Fox the way
that it's being done. There's a whole team put together here.
You know, it's Jironko's doing the decking. I believe Walker
Lewis is bringing in some tables and chairs, and it's
a pretty major deal for all the players in Bakersfield.
Speaker 9 (19:40):
The flooring will have a step up to account for
the auditorium's gradual elevation, and workers must carefully insert metal
posts between and around the fixed seating. The three day job,
using between seven and ten workers a day, should be
complete by Tuesday. Then, once the railing, carpeting and final
touches are in place, it's party time in Bakersfield. Robert

Speaker 3 (20:05):
The Fox will celebrate it's at ninety fifth anniversary this
month with the gala on that temporarily elongated stage and
guess what You're invited. The Fox is rolling out the

Oh We'll be there, turning out of you our seventeen
Health Watch. New numbers show a major divide among Americans
when it comes to protection from the spread of contagious
and deadly diseases. That's according to a new study by
NBC News and Stanford. The month's long investigation found the
vast majority of counties across the United States are experiencing
declining rates of childhood vaccination and have been for years.
(20:51):
Scientists say seventy seven percent of counties have seen a
decline in vaccination rates in the last six years. Meantime,
vaccine exemptions for school children are rising nationwide, and more
than half of counties have Measles, Mumps and Rebella or
MMR vaccine rates below HERD immunity levels.
Speaker 10 (21:09):
That leaves these.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Places ripe for outbreaks, which could lead to more debts
from those diseases.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
A child in.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Southern California has died from complications from the measles years
after recovering from the initial infection. The Los Angeles County
Department of Public Health says the child was infected with
measles as an infant before being old enough to get
the vaccine. The child died from a brain disorder linked
to the early measles infection. Doctors are encouraging parents to
(21:38):
make sure all family members are vaccinated. The measles virus
is highly contagious, but it can be prevented with a
safe and effective vaccine.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
As The Indian holiday of Dwali could soon be added
as an official state holiday here in California. The legislation
was introduced earlier this year and would allow public schools
in certain colleges to give staff and employees paid time

The holiday is.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Widely recognized among Indian Americans and South Asian Americans and
celebrated annually by Hindus six Buddhists and James de Wale.

Good morning, Kern County. This is the seventeen News at
Sunrise podcast, Your News on your Schedule, presented by Rodriguez
and Associates.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
We begin this.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Morning with the traffic alert Highway one seventy eight. We'll
see daytime closures through Kern River Canyon this week as
crews continued to repair down power lines. The lines came
toppling down Friday evening, prompting the highway's closure. Southern California
Edison worked through the weekend to repair them, but that
work isn't done yet. The closure will be in place
each day through eight am to five pm through the
(00:38):
mouth of the canyon to Barrell Road. CHP expects the
highway to fully reopen on Friday.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Nottaway's signature issue here at seventy two News Pedestrian Safety.
A man was killed overnight after he was struck by
two separate cars in East Bakersfield. It happened on Union Avenue,
just south of thirty fourth Street around ten twenty last night.
Bakersfield police say the man was crossing Union Avenue outside
of a crosswalk when a pickup truck struck him. Then,
(01:07):
when the man was still down in the roadway, a
second vehicle struck him. The first driver stayed to cooperate
with investigators and did not show signs of impairment, but
the second driver took off and has not yet been identified.
The identity of the pedestrian will be released later by
the corner. Anyone with information on this crash is urged
to call the Bakersfield Police Department. By our account, this
(01:29):
is the twenty eighth pedestrian killed on Kern County roadways
this year.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
And now a news making headlines around the state, and
a follow up on a story we brought you yesterday,
A deal to allow more oil production right here in
Kern County is one step closer to reality. While maker
sent SB two thirty seven to Governor Newsom's desk over
the weekend, and if he signed it the last minute deal,
it will allow up to two thousand new oil wells
per year in Kern County. The bill says it will
(01:57):
help the state brace and respond to the closure of
the Northern California Velero refinery and the Southern California Phillip
sixty six refinery. Those two closures alone are expected to
reduce California's oil refining capacity by about twenty percent.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
This piece of legislation benefits every Californian. The jobs and
economic prosperity will come from Kern County being able to
restart our oil industry, and then our goal is to
help stabilize that that energy price at the pump for
every Californian.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Democrats note the legislation will restrict offshore oil drilling. Environmental
groups are opposed to the proposal, along with a handful
of Democrats who voted against it. They argue the bill
is a step backwards for the state's environmental and climate goals.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
While the bill is still awaiting the governor's signature, it's
raising hopes for a rejuvenated oil industry after years of
regulatory resistance within the Newsome administration. Seventeen's Vincent Demanti looks
at how the bill could pump new life and new
jobs back into Kerrn's oil patch.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Kern County is the home to seas of oil rigs,
but there might be more coming on the horizon. Senate
Bill two three seven would allow the creation of up
to two thousand oil rigs in the county each year.
This can mean some long awaited jobs for workers in
the oil industry.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
Over the last couple of years here in Current County,
there's been a lot of uncertainty when it comes to permitting.
There's been very small amounts of permits that have been
handed out by the state of California. Now there is certainty.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
The bill was introduced by Artado along with four other
members of the California Senate. Senators stayed long into the
weekend negotiating the terms of the Billhurtado says she worked
closely with other elected officials from Kerrent County to make
sure the community was represented.
Speaker 7 (03:45):
If Kern County is going to bail out Californians and
stabilize a fuel prices, then we also need to ensure
that the state of California provides the appropriate mitigation and
community benefit supports.
Speaker 8 (04:04):
That it deserves.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Those benefits, Hurtado says, came in the form of seven
million dollars that will be given back to the current community,
including two million towards child protective services, two million towards
valley fever research, two million to the Kern County Fire Department,
and one million towards the expansion of the meadows Field Airport.
Director of Current Citizens for Energy, Tracy Leech, says that
(04:26):
no one produces energy and oil quite like Kern.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
We need to put Kerrent County back in the driver's
seat producing oil.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
We do it the best.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
No one produces it as.
Speaker 9 (04:38):
Good as we do, and we've been doing it for
over one hundred years.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Kern County is the number one producer of oil within
the state, accounting for nearly seventy six percent of all production.
The California Resource Corporation, one of the largest oil companies
in the county, is celebrating the bill. In a statement,
c RC said, quote, Senate Bill two three seven is
a welcome step forward our state. It also ensures continued
(05:02):
stability for our economy, protecting working families from price shocks,
and safeguarding good paying, union and skilled trade jobs that
sustain communities.
Speaker 10 (05:12):
End quote.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Today, the CRC announced a seven hundred and seventeen million
dollar merger with local oil company Berry Petroleum, a move
that will expand the company's ability to produce oil. Leech
says that oil production alone is important for growing jobs.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
Thirty five thousand jobs exist in current because of oil production.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
We need to get that back.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
We need to get back to producing the energy Californians need.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
The governor has until October thirteenth to sign the new
bill into law. Until then, the governor is sitting on
an oil well full of new Kern County jobs. Vince
and Amante seventeen News.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
And now to You're seventeen Court watching.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
New details on the CSUB assistant basketball coach arrested on
suspicion of pimping and pandering. Court documents show Kevin Mays
had hidden files to store quote obvious child pornography. Last month,
the Bakersfield Police Department received an anonymous tip that Mays
was collecting money from a woman who was being prostituted
by him. Officers arrested Mays earlier this month. They then
(06:16):
searched his car and home, and that's where they found
firearms and quote large amounts of marijuana and meth. Mays
pleaded not guilty to eleven charges, But according to new
court documents obtained by seventeen News, investigators were looking through
Kevin Mays's cell phone when they found more than three
thousand files with titles consistent with child pornography.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Documents show some.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Videos had girls who appeared to be between four to
six years old. The findings led to more charges against Mays,
and he is set to be arraigned today. Maz is
currently on administrative leave from CSUB.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Also in court today, a Bakersfield man suspected of killing
a woman with the same last name as him. Last Thursday,
Bakersfield police officers responded to two Lane Park Place near
Stockdale Highway and Buenavista Road. There, they found Emma Yokanda
Wildric dead from a gunshot wound. Officers arrested eighty three
year old Michael Wildric in connection of the killing. Neighbors
(07:12):
describe both Michael and Emma Wildric as a couple. Wildric
was officially charged with first degree murder yesterday, though he
did not show up to court. Alter Back making news
around the nation. We expect chargers to be filed today
by the Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray against Tyler Robinson,
the man arrested in connection with the assassination.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Of Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
As the chargers are filed, memorials across the country continue,
as well as the fallout and finger pointing over political violence.
NBCs Both to Your Mom has the latest details from Washington.
Speaker 11 (07:48):
Twenty two year old Tyler Robinson is expected to face
several charges, including aggravated murder, in connection with the attack
on conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. According to The Washington Post,
Robinson appears to have confessed in an online chat not
long before turning himself in, writing, Hey guys, I have
bad news for you all. It was me at UVU yesterday.
(08:11):
I'm sorry for all of this. The post, citing two
people familiar with the chat and screenshots. Another possible sign
that may be part of the evidence a text message exchange,
says FBI Director Cash Battel.
Speaker 12 (08:24):
His family has collectively told investigators that he subscribed to
left wing ideology and he had a text message exchange
he the suspect with another individual in which he claimed
that he had an opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk
and he was going to do it because of his
hatred for what Charlie stood for.
Speaker 11 (08:45):
The FBI says the suspect is not cooperating, but points
out they found the suspect's DNA on two pieces of evidence.
While authorities haven't confirmed a motive. The President blames the left.
Speaker 9 (08:56):
Looks like he was radicalized over the internet, and this
radical on the left.
Speaker 11 (09:01):
He's a left The Trump Administration's effort to find and
punish Americans who criticized Charlie Kirk intensifying, including measures to
use the federal government to crack down on what the
administration called vast domestic terrorist networks.
Speaker 10 (09:16):
We're going to use every resource we have at the
Department of Justice, Homeland Security, and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle,
and destroy these networks.
Speaker 11 (09:25):
Back in Utah, classes resume on campus as the suspect
remains on special watch status, meaning closer supervision now authorities
save Robinson will stay on special watch status until passing
a mental health evaluation. Meanwhile, plans for a massive memorial
service are underway for this Sunday in Kirk's home state
(09:46):
of Arizona. The service is expected to draw thousands at
State Farm Stadium, including President Trump and Washington both to
Your Mom and BC News.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Meanwhile, here at home, a patriotic parade and candle light
vigil has been organized in honor of Charlie Kirk. It's
happening tonight starting at six. Participants are encouraged to meet
at Chewy's on Rosedale Highway. A motor parade will depart
for the park at Riverwalk at six thirty. The candle
light vigil and night of worship begins at the park
(10:18):
at seven pm.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
In making news around the world, President Nicholas Maduro of
Venezuela is vowing to defend the country against US aggression.
This after the US military conducted another missile strike on
a boat off the coast of Venezuela yesterday. Three people
died in that strike. President Trump says the boat was
carrying quote, violent drug traffickers, cocaine and fetanol, Although the
(10:42):
Trump administration offered no evidence to the claim. Venezuelan President
Nicholas Maduro said his country would defend itself against this
US aggression. The strike comes two weeks after the US
killed eleven people on a boat in the Caribbean, again
asserting those killed were narcotic.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Israel has been attacking the city in recent days, destroying
residential buildings and killing hundreds of Palestinians. Health officials in
Gaza say medical services are stretched to the breaking point.
The United Nations Children Agency UNICEF says any expansion of
Israel's military operations will make conditions for children in.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Gaza even worse.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Israel says the goal of the ground defensive is to
destroy the terror group MAAS.

From our seventeenth follow up file. Today marks eleven years
since Bakersfield's Matt Odam was murdered in the front yard
of his home and still no arrests in the case.
Odam was found with a traumatic injury on Waterbury Drive
the morning of September fifteenth, twenty fourteen. He was rushed
to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Family members
say Odam was a caring father, brother, and son. Curtain

Meantime, new numbers from the Bakersfield Police Department show officers
responded to more than forty two thousand emergency calls in August,
and that's twice as many calls compared.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
To the month of May.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
BPD's l datest crime staffs show the department responded to
one hundred and fifty vehicle thefts, four homicides, thirty four robberies,
one hundred and thirty six aggravated assaults, ninety three burglaries,
and five cases of rape just in the month of August.
Please say, these numbers are subject to change, and the
City of Delano is aiming to strengthen trust between law
(15:20):
enforcement and the people they serve.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
The city.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
The Delano Police Department, community leaders and attorneys are hosting
a town hall this week on Understanding Rights and Roles.
They'll explain how people can better understand their legal rights,
the role of law enforcement, and available resources for immigrant families.
There will also be an open question and answer session.
The event is open to the public and it will
be held this Wednesday from five to six thirty pm

at the Jefferson Center.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
All Right in your seventeen business watch this morning, the
FED is expected to cut interest rates for the first
time since twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
This week.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Federal Reserve Board begins its two day meeting today to
determine whether the latest economic data warrants a rate cut.
Last week's disappointing labor report and a slight increase in
inflation and unemployment has analysts certain reduction will be coming.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
The question is.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
By how much, though Most bets are on a quarter
point draw, but some experts feel it could be more
aggressive a half point cut. The decision will be announced tomorrow. Meantime,
fewer job postings are making it harder to find a job.
An analyst at the Job Website Indeed says the probability
of losing a job has not gone up, but if
(16:37):
you do become unemployed, you'll likely stay that way longer
than usual. Economists say a six month unemployment stretch often
signals a turning point in someone's job search. They've probably
run out of unemployment or severance benefits by then, and
that leaves them in a shakier financial situation.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Well here in California, consumers are facing a significant rise
in grocery prices. Data from the Consumer Price indexed from
June through August showed a three point three percent price
raise that marks a substantial increase from the one point
five percent rate last year. The increased costs are attributed
to higher production and distribution expenses, as well as new tariffs.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Unimported food items.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Meats, poultry, fish, and eggs have seen the biggest price hikes,
followed by fruits, vegetables, and non alcoholic beverages.

The Fox Theater is undergoing some big, big changes this week,
from a theater to.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
More of a nightclub ballroom.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
How that's going to work, you may ask, Well, seventeenth
Robert Price has the story.
Speaker 14 (17:41):
If you're going to transform Baker's Field's beloved Fox Theater
in a fashion this dramatic, you might as well get
more than just one use out of it.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
That's the thinking.
Speaker 14 (17:49):
Behind the metamorphosis of this historic theater into a ballroom,
from a theater into a dinner theater.
Speaker 9 (17:57):
Organizers are in the process of building a soak called
floating floor over the Fox's fixed seats in order to
create a raised level surface for tables and chairs. It
will take hundreds of man hours to accomplish. That's not
the effort you undertake for one event, So the Fox
will host at least three showcasing the new floor. The
transformation was organized and paid for by the Current Dance
(18:20):
Alliance and its many benefactors for their tenth anniversary gala
this coming Saturday. The floating floor will remain in place
for two events next week, the Downtown Business Association's Taste
of Downtown on September twenty fifth and The Fox Theatre's
Golden Age Gala on September twenty seventh. Andrea Hanson of
the Current Dance Alliance and the Fox Theater Foundation has
(18:42):
been down this road before. She transformed the Fox for
her wedding reception in twenty thirteen and again for Friends'
wedding reception in twenty eighteen, and she'll never forget the
look on the faces of guests as they arrived for
the festivities.
Speaker 8 (18:55):
What we're doing is we're building out the stage over
all of the seats in the house, all the way
to the back wall. For many people in Current County,
they know this as a theater venue, but for two
weeks it will turn into a ballroom where tables and
chairs will be set on this massive platform for the
audience to enjoy all different types of experiences with three
different Current County nonprofits.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Ron Holbert, co founder and former owner of Jeronco Rentals,
came out of retirement to pitch in for this cause.
Speaker 10 (19:22):
It's unbelievable that you can transform the Fox the way
that it's being done. There's a whole team put together here.
You know, it's Jironko's doing the decking. I believe Walker
Lewis is bringing in some tables and chairs, and it's
a pretty major deal for all the players in Bakersfield.
Speaker 9 (19:40):
The flooring will have a step up to account for
the auditorium's gradual elevation, and workers must carefully insert metal
posts between and around the fixed seating. The three day job,
using between seven and ten workers a day, should be
complete by Tuesday. Then, once the railing, carpeting and final
touches are in place, it's party time in Bakersfield. Robert

Health Watch. New numbers show a major divide among Americans
when it comes to protection from the spread of contagious
and deadly diseases. That's according to a new study by
NBC News and Stanford. The month's long investigation found the
vast majority of counties across the United States are experiencing
declining rates of childhood vaccination and have been for years.
(20:51):
Scientists say seventy seven percent of counties have seen a
decline in vaccination rates in the last six years. Meantime,
vaccine exemptions for school children are rising nationwide, and more
than half of counties have Measles, Mumps and Rebella or
MMR vaccine rates below HERD immunity levels.
Speaker 10 (21:09):
That leaves these.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Places ripe for outbreaks, which could lead to more debts
from those diseases.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
A child in.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Southern California has died from complications from the measles years
after recovering from the initial infection. The Los Angeles County
Department of Public Health says the child was infected with
measles as an infant before being old enough to get
the vaccine. The child died from a brain disorder linked
to the early measles infection. Doctors are encouraging parents to
(21:38):
make sure all family members are vaccinated. The measles virus
is highly contagious, but it can be prevented with a
safe and effective vaccine.
