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 (00:15):
We begin today with breaking news overnight. Pedestrian safety is
a signature issue here at seventeen News, and a man
is dead after a vehicle struck him in Oildale. It
happened on State Road around one twenty this morning near
Olive Drive. We don't know a lot of details at
this time, however, video shows a crushed bicycle and the
pedestrian was declared dead at the scene. Video also shows
(00:36):
a semi truck with flashing lights pulled to the side
of the road, with the apparent driver talking to authorities.
We've reached out to California Highway Patrol and Kern County
Sheriff's Office for more details, but I've not heard back
as of news time, and by our account, this is
the twenty ninth pedestrian killed on Kern County roadways this
year alone, and a Sheriff's deputy was involved in a
(00:56):
crash in northwest Bakersfield.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Overnight.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Video shows the day car moving through the intersection of
Alan Road in Rosedale Highway with its lights and siren activated.
The suv looks like it's about to make a U
turn when it collided with an oncoming car. We've reached
out to the Kerr County Sheriff's office, but have not
heard back on this incident either.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Also developing overnight, ABC has suspended Jimmy Kimmel's late night
show indefinitely following comments he made about.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Charlie Kirk's death.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
The network's decision came after Nexstar Media Group announced its
ABC affiliates would preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live indefinitely over his comments.
Andrew Alford, the president of Nextstar's broadcasting division, issuing a
statement saying, quote, mister Kimmel's comments about the death of
mister Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time
in our national political discourse, and we do not believe
(01:49):
they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of
the local communities in which we are located. Next Star
is Kgat's pair and company. Kimmel has yet to comment
on the suspension.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
This Current County Fair update is brought to you by Rodriguez,
an associate.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Welcome back, everybody, It's day two. The Current County Fair
and team minus twenty four hours until we have our
live show over at the fair Ground.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I mean, I know it's tomorrow, but it didn't register
to meet that that's twenty four hours away.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I'm so excited. Yes, we're definitely very excited. You were
there very first time at the fair I was first impressions.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
It was really fun. I mean, we talked about this
just before, but I had a great time. I got
to meet so many of you, so thank you for
coming up to me if you did. It was very
nice to meet you all and just surreal to meet
people that just know who I am because I deliver
the news.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
But it was so awesome.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I saw so many great outfits hint hint that'll be
coming soon, and the food looked delicious, but I did
not have time to get Okay, I did.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I'll be there for the first time today. I always
like to watch Tammy and Jim banter back and forth
or seventeen years at five, so I would like to
go say hi to everybody, and it's honestly fun to
say hi to the.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Viewers as well too.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yes, I saw Jim, who I have I never see
because we're on opposite schedules and he gave me a
big hug and I said, Hey, good.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
To see you, long time.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
No say, it was just so good to catch up
with our team, catch up with everyone in the audience
as well. It was just awesome.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Well, we all know the fair is a great place,
but how safe is it? Well seventeenth Connrador talked to
BPD and examines just how safe Kirk County Fair is.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
This year, fair goers don't even have to empty their
pockets at the gate because the new metal detectors can
detect something illegal even which pocket it is in.
Speaker 7 (03:43):
We also have added spectrum metal detectors. We're going to
try them out at the main gate this year. It's
a new technology. They have used the AI technology so
people could walk through faster without having to stop and
get frist or you know, check for anything illegal on.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
Him fairs family, but sometimes the packed fairgrounds can cause
your child to get lost. Lost loved ones are asked
to go to the BPD communication center at Harvest Hall.
Speaker 7 (04:09):
Follow the circle stickers on the main street and it'll
guide you right to it. We also are doing the
bracelets again where we have the family name and phone
number on there so that we find a young one
that can't really talk or does another phone number, it'll
have it written on their wrists.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Also new this year, BPD has a bike patrol and
the main parking lot off of P Street to prevent
vehicle burglary or vehicle fafts. The police watch Tower is
back this year, giving officers a bird's eye view of
the fairgrounds.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
It has flear technology and cameras. It gives us a
high point advantage to watch the crowd and make sure
everything's going well, and it also if something was to happen,
we could have a little better view of how to
manage our resources coming in.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
And officers will be patrolling the fairgrounds as well, with
over one hundred officers at the fairgrounds during some nights.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
They fluctuate with whatever's going on at Budweiser Pavilion, So
some nights it could be one hundred thirty and forty.
Some nights it's seventy eighty. It just depends on the
events that going. Obviously, the weekends are a lot more
people here, so we will stap at a little heavy heavier.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
On the weekends.
Speaker 6 (05:09):

Speaker 1 (06:32):
This current County Fair update is brought to you by
Rodriguez An Associates.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Welcome back everybody, and it is officially a fair week
here in Kern County and I have.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
A packed crew here with me today.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
So today we're talking about the second annual Chopped Challenge
at the Fair and I cannot be more excited. I
know I'm going to be there to be a part
of it. What did y'all tell me a little bit
about it?
Speaker 9 (06:54):
We're super excited to have the second annual chat Chatlenge, right,
So this is a it's a cooking competition where our
nutrition leaders from the current high school district they're paying
up with some high school students to see who can
create the best plant based dish. But it's not that
easy because the day of the competition, the contestants will
get three surprising ingredients that they need to incorporate it too.
(07:16):
So up to now they have a list of ingredients
that are contests in scott But it's that day where
we get to surprise and to actually see what they're
all about.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
And you two were a team last year, weren't you. Yeah,
you were, so you're excited to come back. You're coming
back with vengeance.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Right here we are.
Speaker 10 (07:30):
We're ready to win. She's a senior and I want
to let her go off with the bank. So we're
there to win this year.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
And what are y all excited about for this year's competition?
Speaker 10 (07:38):
Well, I mean it's like last year, we had a
great time and it's it's really to see the students
there because they get a little nervous. They see the
crowd and it's like, oh in thirty minutes, they see
the clock. But when they get in there cooking with
us and enjoy it, you see their eyes in its. Basically,
we're finding the next new top chef in Kurrent County.
That's what that's our passion with and their partnership with
the school district is all about.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
And you were talking about that crowd feeling that little
bit of fear, Hayley, how was that for you stepping
up on stage and cooking for a crowd.
Speaker 11 (08:05):
It was very nerve wracking, but I think that I
was able to hold myself together and be able to
do it, and it was something that I got on
my comfort zone with and I just enjoyed it a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Yeah, and I love the confidence. I mean, this builds
up confidence for the contestants and also builds that relationship
and partnering with Blue Zones, you get to work on
more healthy dishes. Tell me a little bit more about that.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
So the reason that we made it a plant based
competition is because what follows our Blue Zones project principles
of plants slant. I like to also say that it's
more of like a plant forward mindset, right, And so
what we want to do is we all I mean,
cooking is already very difficult as it is, right, but
now it's adding that extra layer of difficulty to make
a fully plant based meal. But then I also think
to it's the importance of teaching our younger culinary students
(08:45):
that you can actually make some really delicious meals with
just plant based or at least you know, fruits and vegetables.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
And so that's that's what it's all about.
Speaker 9 (08:53):
It's introducing those plants, plant fruits and vegetables into our
meals to see what we can actually create, which is
at the end of the day a.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Lot more healthy, awesome.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And if people want to come out and watch y'all
compete on Friday, well, I just gave it away.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
It's on Friday.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Where they when is it?
Speaker 9 (09:06):
It's Friday at the current County Fair at the frontier stage,
starting promptly at five thirty pm.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Promptly.
Speaker 8 (09:12):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (09:12):
So we have some really exciting giveaways that we'll be
having that day. Right, So, we have an unlimited ride
racelist for students for anybody to go out into the
fair and then get onto the unlimited rise.
Speaker 11 (09:21):
Right.
Speaker 9 (09:21):
We have a gift cards to Blue Zones approved restaurant
so that they can then go try some of those
plant based recipes, and then we have tickets to come
back to the foraud or later date and then AirPods.
Speaker 12 (09:31):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (09:32):
But I think the favorite, my favorite giveaway is at
the high school with the most amount of students.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
So, Haley, you better rally up your crowd. Is they're
going to get two thousand.
Speaker 9 (09:40):
Dollars for that high school for that's all they gotta
do is just show up and cheer on Haley Well awesome.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
We will see you all at the current County Fair
this Friday the Frontier stage at five thirty. Thank you
so much for joining me today. Thank you, it was
so fun to catch up with them. And I will
be over at the Chop Challenge tomorrow night, so come
make sure and stop by. It will definitely be a
fun one. And another one of the great things about
the current County Fairs that it allows people who may
not goll or play bridge to complete something they love
(10:07):
to do. That can be anything from baking cookies to
growing pumpkins and painting pictures. It's like the Olympics of hobbies.
As seventeenth Robert Price shows us what that means.
Speaker 13 (10:17):
For a lot of Kerrent County fairgoers, the main attraction
is the midway with its colors and noise. For many,
it's the food, which in many cases we wouldn't dare
eat any other time of year. For many, it's the
fun quirky vendors selling wares you didn't even know you
absolutely must have. What can you do with my ball spot?
Speaker 14 (10:35):
I can cover it up with a pink ponytail.
Speaker 13 (10:37):
Well, bombshell hair might be better. Suited for ten year
old girls than guys my age. But the competitions, that's
a world unto itself. Baking, pickling, painting, drawing, growing, robot building,
even table setting. This is the best dressed table competition,
a highly rigorous affair that calls upon the creative and
(10:58):
spatial skills of dinner hosts. Judge Mary Lindroff says she
calls upon the spirit of the late etiquette expert Emily
Post in making her assessments.
Speaker 15 (11:06):
It always had to be perfect. The wine glass and
the water glass has to be certain link the part.
Speaker 13 (11:13):
Right right, Yeah, we have a wine glass, we have water.
Speaker 15 (11:15):
And the color of your scheme, your color scheme.
Speaker 13 (11:19):
That's important too. Although twenty five year veteran judge Shirley
Vance says they don't have to match perfectly. She said
she bears in mind that these tables aren't designed by
paid experts.
Speaker 15 (11:29):
They're not professional in the lead.
Speaker 13 (11:31):
This is the way they might design for a dinner
party at.
Speaker 15 (11:33):
Their high party at their home, or you know, birthday parties.
Speaker 13 (11:38):
Unless you think this is all trivial stuff.
Speaker 15 (11:40):
I always take it seriously. I try to be very constructive.
I write notes at the bottom of my page so
that the person or persons know why I graded them
like I did.
Speaker 13 (11:53):
Then there's the foods competition. Jams, jellies, pickled, you name it, cookies, cakes, pies.
Maybe they just want to call it the Aunt Bessie division.
If Adam Ray invites you over for breakfast, by all
means go. This is his drunken monkey butter. It's the
best to show in the jams and jellies department. Banana, pineapple, coconut,
(12:14):
no alcohol.
Speaker 16 (12:15):
Pickled asparagus, first place, pickled artichoke, hearts, pickled something else,
honorable mention something Adam Ray, the guy with the drunken
monkey butter.
Speaker 13 (12:27):
He's also pretty good apparently at salsa. Now, if you're
tempted to try and pry open one of these display
cases and steal a bite from an award winning cookie,
don't do it, not only because it's the wrong thing
to do, but because these have been sprayed with hair
spray to keep the ants off. Not so tasty. But
everything else, rest assured, is tasty. You just can't have any.
(12:48):
But I have a hunch there's plenty of delightful food
elsewhere around the fair.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
We'll leave it to.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Bob to find the quirkiest stuff with the fair table
that looks awesome, the pickled something, Yes, salsa and.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Salsa of course.
Speaker 17 (13:06):
I'm proud to be part of the Bakershial community, the culture,
the arts, and the music. I'm so glad my parents
taught me to speak Spanish and to honor our heritage
by singing traditional music. As an attorney with Rodriguez and Associates,
I'm proud to work in harmony with our community, helping
(13:28):
others and celebrating what makes us unique at Rodriguez in Associates.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
When you need us, we'll be here for you.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
And news around the nation, the Federal Reserve has officially
cut interest rates for the first time in nine months.
Our Washington DC correspondent Raquel Martin reports on the Fed's decision.
Speaker 11 (13:51):
The interest rate cut was widely expected. Federal Reserve has
been avoiding cutting interest rates as it drawings to tame inflation.
But when day things changed. It's the day business leaders
have long awaited.
Speaker 18 (14:03):
Today, the Federal Open Market Committee decided to lower our
policy interest rate.
Speaker 11 (14:08):
Wednesday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Pale announced the Federal Reserve
is cutting interest rates by a quarter percent.
Speaker 19 (14:15):
That is recognizing that there is growing weakness in the economy.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
Been great.
Speaker 11 (14:20):
Financial analyst even Kate says the Fed is responding to
a slowing jomb market. Should consumers see today's announcement as
something positive for their bottom line?
Speaker 19 (14:29):
I think that this is not the all out victory parade,
But for consumers, this is a lowering of borrowing rates.
You know, overall, that's probably a welcome thing for people
who are trying to refinance their homes or would love
to get into a home.
Speaker 11 (14:42):
Arguably the loudest voice calling for a rate cut the
President of the United States.
Speaker 13 (14:47):
I'd love him to lower interest.
Speaker 11 (14:49):
For months, he's openly criticized Pal for keeping rate steady,
accusing Pal of sabotaging his economic agenda.
Speaker 16 (14:56):
The knucklehead not a smart person.
Speaker 11 (14:58):
Before leaving for the UK Tuesday, the President praised the
Federal Reserve Board's newest member.
Speaker 13 (15:03):
Most of you nolners, Jury Dallas God.
Speaker 11 (15:06):
His own economic advisor, Stephen Myron. The Senate confirmed the
President's nominee Monday, well out of a figure Florid. Myron
was the only member to vote against Wednesday's point two
find cunt, pushing instead for a half a point. CUNT
Chairman Palell says the Federal Reserve is monitoring how the
president's tariff policy might impact the economy, but he also
(15:28):
hinted that two more rate cuts could come before the
end of the year. For now in Washington, Raquel Martin
back to you.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Meantime, President Trump is turning his focus to trade in
the global economy during his visit in the United Kingdom.
After a lavish state dinner in a day steeped in
historical ceremony, the countries getting to work as protesters outside
call for change. NBC's Alice Barr has the latest details
from Windsor, England.
Speaker 14 (15:56):
President Trump turning to politics today after them of a
lavish royal banquet capping a day of high ceremony in
his unprecedented second state visit to the UK.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
This is surely one of the highest honors of my life.
Speaker 14 (16:10):
King Charles and the Royal family treating the President and
First Lady to carriage rides and an elaborate military display
in a clear effort to strengthen ties at a critical moment, as.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
A tyranny once again threatens Europe, we and our allies
stand together in support of Ukraine.
Speaker 11 (16:31):
To the terror, aggression and secure peace.
Speaker 14 (16:35):
Solidarity for Ukraine top of mind as the President meets
today with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at his country residence.
Speaker 11 (16:43):
Donald Trump yukon high.
Speaker 14 (16:45):
Away from the protests in London, focused also on the
escalating war in Gaza. Prime Minister Starmer planning to formally
recognize a Palestinian state after President Trump's visit, a move
the President opposes, looking for a common ground through commerce.
The two leaders working to refine the US UK trade deal.
Speaker 19 (17:07):
We greated deal and it's a great deal, and I'm.
Speaker 13 (17:11):
Into helping them.
Speaker 19 (17:12):
Our country is.
Speaker 14 (17:12):
Doing very well, joined today by a who's who of
top American tax CEOs, amid a Trump administration push to
increase AI exports to allies, and a newly announced US
UK Tech Pact to advance AI and nuclear technologies, forging
future ties in a long enduring alliance. President Trump and
(17:36):
Prime Minister Starmer are set to close the day with
a press conference before the President boards Air Force one
and returns to Washington tonight. In London, Alice Barr ANDBC.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
News, and also happening overseas, tens of thousands of Palestinians
are fleeing Gaza City as the Israeli military intensifies its
ground offensive in the area. As of Wednesday, nearly four
hundred thousand people had evacuated Gaza City. The israel Defense
Forces said an opposed to x on Thursday morning that
its forces are quote expanding their activities in Gaza City
(18:07):
and continuing operations elsewhere in the Gaza Strip. Before the
expanded offensive was announced on Tuesday, the military ordered people
in Gaza City to go to what it described as
a humanitarian zone in the south.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
And a reminder sevent two News is your local election
headquarters where you are officially less than seven weeks from
California's special election on redistricting, and a new price tag
has just been released. Two hundred eighty two point six
million dollars. That's how much the California Department of Finance
projects the special election will cost the state. California Elections
(18:42):
Chief Secretary of State doctor Shirley Weber and her office
will need more than thirty one million dollars to administer
the special election, while the state will need to reimburse
a combined two hundred and fifty one million dollars to
California's fifty eight counties. San Diego Republican Assembly Member Carl
Demayo says the special election is too costly for a
state already facing a twelve billion dollar deficit.
Speaker 12 (19:05):
This latest memo confirms that the costs are spiking and
financial losses that taxpayers will have to cover because of
this unnecessary special election so that politicians can try to
seize power from the voters to manipulate the lines of
their districts.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
However, Governor k Newsom and Prop fifty supporters say the
measure is necessary to fight back against red states.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Election day is November fourth.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Students at Delta State University in Mississippi say there's a
cloud of uneasiness over the school after the body of
a student was found hanging from a tree on campus Monday.
They say there's a different atmosphere at the school following
the death of twenty one year old Demitravian Reid, who
went by Trey. Reid's body was found has been sent
to the state crime Lab for an autopsy. Students now
(19:54):
sharing a sense of unease.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Quiet. It's I wouldn't say calm.
Speaker 10 (20:04):
It's more alarming, and it feels a little gloomy, even
though the sun is shining because something very big just happened.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Reid's death has sparked an out has sparked a firestorm
of online rumors. A statement from the Boulevard County Corner's
office said Reid's body had no injuries or lacerations, contrary
to online speculation. Meantime, the Delta State Police are trying
to calm nerves.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
It's a healing process. We let our students, faculty, and
staff know that we're here for them. They can come
talk to us. We are out and about making sure
we're talking to them, but we have to allow the
investigation to take its process.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
The chief says student safety is the top priority. Welcome
back to Sunrising and your seventeen Health Watch. A new
tool is out that could help speed up autism diagnosis,
Demiro explains on today's Rich on Tech.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Rebecca Berthiola noticed her three year old son, George, showing
early signs of possible autism.
Speaker 20 (21:14):
Covering ears, sensitivity to noise, and you know, not always
answering his name.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Her pediatrician warned a traditional diagnosis could take a year
or longer.
Speaker 20 (21:24):
It did seem like a longer than what I wanted
because I was seeing signs and I kind of wanted confirmation.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
That's what she learned about a new hair test called
clear Strand, available for children as young as one month
and up to four years old.
Speaker 21 (21:36):
What I like about Clearstrand is that it's not invasive, right,
It's not a blood test.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
The test requires just a few strands of hair collected
at home and mailed to a lab. Results come back
in about three to four weeks.
Speaker 21 (21:49):
Clearstrand is another tool now where we can really get
early objective data even before the official clinical diagnosis can
be made, and this can help us with early therapy
and treatments.
Speaker 18 (22:00):
Test is ninety five percent accurate and ruling out autism.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Doctor Manish Aurora developed the test partly inspired by his
own daughter.
Speaker 18 (22:09):
My youngest daughter is nero divorce, but getting the right
diagnosis for her took me two years.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
The technology uses lasers to analyze hair like growth rings
on a tree, searching for biomarkers over time.
Speaker 18 (22:21):
We're not just looking at molecules that are inside your body.
And this single strand of hair, about one inch of hair,
is like a thousand blood.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Tests at seven hundred and fifty dollars. Clearstrand isn't cheap,
but the company says it's working to reduce costs and
expand insurance coverage.
Speaker 18 (22:39):
Our vision is that in the next six months to
one year, we will have coverage by one of the
major insurance groups.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
For Rebecca, the positive test result wasn't necessarily a surprise,
but it gave her family a clear starting point.
Speaker 20 (22:53):
It was a little heartbreaking at first because I didn't
know where to go from there, but also it was
like a sense of relief because because we didn't have
to wait so long.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
That was which jamiro reporting welcome back. Ticket sales for
the twenty twenty eight Olympics are coming up. LA twenty
eight has announced general registration opens in January. Fans can
enter a lottery at LA twenty eight dot org, and
if selected, they can begin buying tickets next spring.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Single event tickets start at twenty eight dollars.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Fans who are not selected in the first round of
ticket drops will automatically be entered into subsequent ones. The
Games open July fourteenth, twenty twenty eight, with ceremonies at
the Coliseum and Sofie Stowed Stadium.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Am I the only one shocked that individual event tickets
are only twenty eight dollars.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
I was actually a little bit surprised reading that as well.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I just my jaw just dropped. I feel like when
I think Olympics and big events like this, I think hundreds,
if not thousands.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I don't blame you at all, but I guess twenty twenty.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
They should keep it affordable.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
So I like that a lot of people can go.
So that's kind of cool. And you believe we're almost there.
It'll be here before you know it. Really, four years,
we'll go by pretty fast. Actually three years now, I know,
and time is flying.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
This has been the seventeen News at Sunrise podcast, presented
by Rodriquez and Associates, a production of kg ET and
Nexstar Media Group. For more local news and weather, visit
KGET dot com.
Good morning, Kern County. This is the seventeen News at
Sunrise podcast, your news on your schedule, presented by Rodriguez
and associates.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We begin today with breaking news overnight. Pedestrian safety is
a signature issue here at seventeen News, and a man
is dead after a vehicle struck him in Oildale. It
happened on State Road around one twenty this morning near
Olive Drive. We don't know a lot of details at
this time, however, video shows a crushed bicycle and the
pedestrian was declared dead at the scene. Video also shows
(00:36):
a semi truck with flashing lights pulled to the side
of the road, with the apparent driver talking to authorities.
We've reached out to California Highway Patrol and Kern County
Sheriff's Office for more details, but I've not heard back
as of news time, and by our account, this is
the twenty ninth pedestrian killed on Kern County roadways this
year alone, and a Sheriff's deputy was involved in a
(00:56):
crash in northwest Bakersfield.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Overnight.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Video shows the day car moving through the intersection of
Alan Road in Rosedale Highway with its lights and siren activated.
The suv looks like it's about to make a U
turn when it collided with an oncoming car. We've reached
out to the Kerr County Sheriff's office, but have not
heard back on this incident either.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Also developing overnight, ABC has suspended Jimmy Kimmel's late night
show indefinitely following comments he made about.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Charlie Kirk's death.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
The network's decision came after Nexstar Media Group announced its
ABC affiliates would preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live indefinitely over his comments.
Andrew Alford, the president of Nextstar's broadcasting division, issuing a
statement saying, quote, mister Kimmel's comments about the death of
mister Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time
in our national political discourse, and we do not believe
(01:49):
they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of
the local communities in which we are located. Next Star
is Kgat's pair and company. Kimmel has yet to comment
on the suspension.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
This Current County Fair update is brought to you by Rodriguez,
an associate.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Welcome back, everybody, It's day two. The Current County Fair
and team minus twenty four hours until we have our
live show over at the fair Ground.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I mean, I know it's tomorrow, but it didn't register
to meet that that's twenty four hours away.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I'm so excited. Yes, we're definitely very excited. You were
there very first time at the fair I was first impressions.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
It was really fun. I mean, we talked about this
just before, but I had a great time. I got
to meet so many of you, so thank you for
coming up to me if you did. It was very
nice to meet you all and just surreal to meet
people that just know who I am because I deliver
the news.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
But it was so awesome.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I saw so many great outfits hint hint that'll be
coming soon, and the food looked delicious, but I did
not have time to get Okay, I did.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I'll be there for the first time today. I always
like to watch Tammy and Jim banter back and forth
or seventeen years at five, so I would like to
go say hi to everybody, and it's honestly fun to
say hi to the.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Viewers as well too.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yes, I saw Jim, who I have I never see
because we're on opposite schedules and he gave me a
big hug and I said, Hey, good.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
To see you, long time.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
No say, it was just so good to catch up
with our team, catch up with everyone in the audience
as well. It was just awesome.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Well, we all know the fair is a great place,
but how safe is it? Well seventeenth Connrador talked to
BPD and examines just how safe Kirk County Fair is.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
This year, fair goers don't even have to empty their
pockets at the gate because the new metal detectors can
detect something illegal even which pocket it is in.
Speaker 7 (03:43):
We also have added spectrum metal detectors. We're going to
try them out at the main gate this year. It's
a new technology. They have used the AI technology so
people could walk through faster without having to stop and
get frist or you know, check for anything illegal on.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
Him fairs family, but sometimes the packed fairgrounds can cause
your child to get lost. Lost loved ones are asked
to go to the BPD communication center at Harvest Hall.
Speaker 7 (04:09):
Follow the circle stickers on the main street and it'll
guide you right to it. We also are doing the
bracelets again where we have the family name and phone
number on there so that we find a young one
that can't really talk or does another phone number, it'll
have it written on their wrists.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Also new this year, BPD has a bike patrol and
the main parking lot off of P Street to prevent
vehicle burglary or vehicle fafts. The police watch Tower is
back this year, giving officers a bird's eye view of
the fairgrounds.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
It has flear technology and cameras. It gives us a
high point advantage to watch the crowd and make sure
everything's going well, and it also if something was to happen,
we could have a little better view of how to
manage our resources coming in.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
And officers will be patrolling the fairgrounds as well, with
over one hundred officers at the fairgrounds during some nights.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
They fluctuate with whatever's going on at Budweiser Pavilion, So
some nights it could be one hundred thirty and forty.
Some nights it's seventy eighty. It just depends on the
events that going. Obviously, the weekends are a lot more
people here, so we will stap at a little heavy heavier.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
On the weekends.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Connor Doors seventeen News.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
This current County Fair update is brought to you by
Rodriguez An Associates.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Welcome back everybody, and it is officially a fair week
here in Kern County and I have.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
A packed crew here with me today.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
So today we're talking about the second annual Chopped Challenge
at the Fair and I cannot be more excited. I
know I'm going to be there to be a part
of it. What did y'all tell me a little bit
about it?
Speaker 9 (06:54):
We're super excited to have the second annual chat Chatlenge, right,
So this is a it's a cooking competition where our
nutrition leaders from the current high school district they're paying
up with some high school students to see who can
create the best plant based dish. But it's not that
easy because the day of the competition, the contestants will
get three surprising ingredients that they need to incorporate it too.
(07:16):
So up to now they have a list of ingredients
that are contests in scott But it's that day where
we get to surprise and to actually see what they're
all about.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
And you two were a team last year, weren't you. Yeah,
you were, so you're excited to come back. You're coming
back with vengeance.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Right here we are.
Speaker 10 (07:30):
We're ready to win. She's a senior and I want
to let her go off with the bank. So we're
there to win this year.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
And what are y all excited about for this year's competition?
Speaker 10 (07:38):
Well, I mean it's like last year, we had a
great time and it's it's really to see the students
there because they get a little nervous. They see the
crowd and it's like, oh in thirty minutes, they see
the clock. But when they get in there cooking with
us and enjoy it, you see their eyes in its. Basically,
we're finding the next new top chef in Kurrent County.
That's what that's our passion with and their partnership with
the school district is all about.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
And you were talking about that crowd feeling that little
bit of fear, Hayley, how was that for you stepping
up on stage and cooking for a crowd.
Speaker 11 (08:05):
It was very nerve wracking, but I think that I
was able to hold myself together and be able to
do it, and it was something that I got on
my comfort zone with and I just enjoyed it a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Yeah, and I love the confidence. I mean, this builds
up confidence for the contestants and also builds that relationship
and partnering with Blue Zones, you get to work on
more healthy dishes. Tell me a little bit more about that.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
So the reason that we made it a plant based
competition is because what follows our Blue Zones project principles
of plants slant. I like to also say that it's
more of like a plant forward mindset, right, And so
what we want to do is we all I mean,
cooking is already very difficult as it is, right, but
now it's adding that extra layer of difficulty to make
a fully plant based meal. But then I also think
to it's the importance of teaching our younger culinary students
(08:45):
that you can actually make some really delicious meals with
just plant based or at least you know, fruits and vegetables.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
And so that's that's what it's all about.
Speaker 9 (08:53):
It's introducing those plants, plant fruits and vegetables into our
meals to see what we can actually create, which is
at the end of the day a.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Lot more healthy, awesome.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And if people want to come out and watch y'all
compete on Friday, well, I just gave it away.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
It's on Friday.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Where they when is it?
Speaker 9 (09:06):
It's Friday at the current County Fair at the frontier stage,
starting promptly at five thirty pm.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Promptly.
Speaker 8 (09:12):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (09:12):
So we have some really exciting giveaways that we'll be
having that day. Right, So, we have an unlimited ride
racelist for students for anybody to go out into the
fair and then get onto the unlimited rise.
Speaker 11 (09:21):
Right.
Speaker 9 (09:21):
We have a gift cards to Blue Zones approved restaurant
so that they can then go try some of those
plant based recipes, and then we have tickets to come
back to the foraud or later date and then AirPods.
Speaker 12 (09:31):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (09:32):
But I think the favorite, my favorite giveaway is at
the high school with the most amount of students.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
So, Haley, you better rally up your crowd. Is they're
going to get two thousand.
Speaker 9 (09:40):
Dollars for that high school for that's all they gotta
do is just show up and cheer on Haley Well awesome.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
We will see you all at the current County Fair
this Friday the Frontier stage at five thirty. Thank you
so much for joining me today. Thank you, it was
so fun to catch up with them. And I will
be over at the Chop Challenge tomorrow night, so come
make sure and stop by. It will definitely be a
fun one. And another one of the great things about
the current County Fairs that it allows people who may
not goll or play bridge to complete something they love
(10:07):
to do. That can be anything from baking cookies to
growing pumpkins and painting pictures. It's like the Olympics of hobbies.
As seventeenth Robert Price shows us what that means.
Speaker 13 (10:17):
For a lot of Kerrent County fairgoers, the main attraction
is the midway with its colors and noise. For many,
it's the food, which in many cases we wouldn't dare
eat any other time of year. For many, it's the
fun quirky vendors selling wares you didn't even know you
absolutely must have. What can you do with my ball spot?
Speaker 14 (10:35):
I can cover it up with a pink ponytail.
Speaker 13 (10:37):
Well, bombshell hair might be better. Suited for ten year
old girls than guys my age. But the competitions, that's
a world unto itself. Baking, pickling, painting, drawing, growing, robot building,
even table setting. This is the best dressed table competition,
a highly rigorous affair that calls upon the creative and
(10:58):
spatial skills of dinner hosts. Judge Mary Lindroff says she
calls upon the spirit of the late etiquette expert Emily
Post in making her assessments.
Speaker 15 (11:06):
It always had to be perfect. The wine glass and
the water glass has to be certain link the part.
Speaker 13 (11:13):
Right right, Yeah, we have a wine glass, we have water.
Speaker 15 (11:15):
And the color of your scheme, your color scheme.
Speaker 13 (11:19):
That's important too. Although twenty five year veteran judge Shirley
Vance says they don't have to match perfectly. She said
she bears in mind that these tables aren't designed by
paid experts.
Speaker 15 (11:29):
They're not professional in the lead.
Speaker 13 (11:31):
This is the way they might design for a dinner
party at.
Speaker 15 (11:33):
Their high party at their home, or you know, birthday parties.
Speaker 13 (11:38):
Unless you think this is all trivial stuff.
Speaker 15 (11:40):
I always take it seriously. I try to be very constructive.
I write notes at the bottom of my page so
that the person or persons know why I graded them
like I did.
Speaker 13 (11:53):
Then there's the foods competition. Jams, jellies, pickled, you name it, cookies, cakes, pies.
Maybe they just want to call it the Aunt Bessie division.
If Adam Ray invites you over for breakfast, by all
means go. This is his drunken monkey butter. It's the
best to show in the jams and jellies department. Banana, pineapple, coconut,
(12:14):
no alcohol.
Speaker 16 (12:15):
Pickled asparagus, first place, pickled artichoke, hearts, pickled something else,
honorable mention something Adam Ray, the guy with the drunken
monkey butter.
Speaker 13 (12:27):
He's also pretty good apparently at salsa. Now, if you're
tempted to try and pry open one of these display
cases and steal a bite from an award winning cookie,
don't do it, not only because it's the wrong thing
to do, but because these have been sprayed with hair
spray to keep the ants off. Not so tasty. But
everything else, rest assured, is tasty. You just can't have any.
(12:48):
But I have a hunch there's plenty of delightful food
elsewhere around the fair.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
We'll leave it to.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Bob to find the quirkiest stuff with the fair table
that looks awesome, the pickled something, Yes, salsa and.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Salsa of course.
Speaker 17 (13:06):
I'm proud to be part of the Bakershial community, the culture,
the arts, and the music. I'm so glad my parents
taught me to speak Spanish and to honor our heritage
by singing traditional music. As an attorney with Rodriguez and Associates,
I'm proud to work in harmony with our community, helping
(13:28):
others and celebrating what makes us unique at Rodriguez in Associates.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
When you need us, we'll be here for you.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
And news around the nation, the Federal Reserve has officially
cut interest rates for the first time in nine months.
Our Washington DC correspondent Raquel Martin reports on the Fed's decision.
Speaker 11 (13:51):
The interest rate cut was widely expected. Federal Reserve has
been avoiding cutting interest rates as it drawings to tame inflation.
But when day things changed. It's the day business leaders
have long awaited.
Speaker 18 (14:03):
Today, the Federal Open Market Committee decided to lower our
policy interest rate.
Speaker 11 (14:08):
Wednesday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Pale announced the Federal Reserve
is cutting interest rates by a quarter percent.
Speaker 19 (14:15):
That is recognizing that there is growing weakness in the economy.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
Been great.
Speaker 11 (14:20):
Financial analyst even Kate says the Fed is responding to
a slowing jomb market. Should consumers see today's announcement as
something positive for their bottom line?
Speaker 19 (14:29):
I think that this is not the all out victory parade,
But for consumers, this is a lowering of borrowing rates.
You know, overall, that's probably a welcome thing for people
who are trying to refinance their homes or would love
to get into a home.
Speaker 11 (14:42):
Arguably the loudest voice calling for a rate cut the
President of the United States.
Speaker 13 (14:47):
I'd love him to lower interest.
Speaker 11 (14:49):
For months, he's openly criticized Pal for keeping rate steady,
accusing Pal of sabotaging his economic agenda.
Speaker 16 (14:56):
The knucklehead not a smart person.
Speaker 11 (14:58):
Before leaving for the UK Tuesday, the President praised the
Federal Reserve Board's newest member.
Speaker 13 (15:03):
Most of you nolners, Jury Dallas God.
Speaker 11 (15:06):
His own economic advisor, Stephen Myron. The Senate confirmed the
President's nominee Monday, well out of a figure Florid. Myron
was the only member to vote against Wednesday's point two
find cunt, pushing instead for a half a point. CUNT
Chairman Palell says the Federal Reserve is monitoring how the
president's tariff policy might impact the economy, but he also
(15:28):
hinted that two more rate cuts could come before the
end of the year. For now in Washington, Raquel Martin
back to you.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Meantime, President Trump is turning his focus to trade in
the global economy during his visit in the United Kingdom.
After a lavish state dinner in a day steeped in
historical ceremony, the countries getting to work as protesters outside
call for change. NBC's Alice Barr has the latest details
from Windsor, England.
Speaker 14 (15:56):
President Trump turning to politics today after them of a
lavish royal banquet capping a day of high ceremony in
his unprecedented second state visit to the UK.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
This is surely one of the highest honors of my life.
Speaker 14 (16:10):
King Charles and the Royal family treating the President and
First Lady to carriage rides and an elaborate military display
in a clear effort to strengthen ties at a critical moment, as.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
A tyranny once again threatens Europe, we and our allies
stand together in support of Ukraine.
Speaker 11 (16:31):
To the terror, aggression and secure peace.
Speaker 14 (16:35):
Solidarity for Ukraine top of mind as the President meets
today with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer at his country residence.
Speaker 11 (16:43):
Donald Trump yukon high.
Speaker 14 (16:45):
Away from the protests in London, focused also on the
escalating war in Gaza. Prime Minister Starmer planning to formally
recognize a Palestinian state after President Trump's visit, a move
the President opposes, looking for a common ground through commerce.
The two leaders working to refine the US UK trade deal.
Speaker 19 (17:07):
We greated deal and it's a great deal, and I'm.
Speaker 13 (17:11):
Into helping them.
Speaker 19 (17:12):
Our country is.
Speaker 14 (17:12):
Doing very well, joined today by a who's who of
top American tax CEOs, amid a Trump administration push to
increase AI exports to allies, and a newly announced US
UK Tech Pact to advance AI and nuclear technologies, forging
future ties in a long enduring alliance. President Trump and
(17:36):
Prime Minister Starmer are set to close the day with
a press conference before the President boards Air Force one
and returns to Washington tonight. In London, Alice Barr ANDBC.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
News, and also happening overseas, tens of thousands of Palestinians
are fleeing Gaza City as the Israeli military intensifies its
ground offensive in the area. As of Wednesday, nearly four
hundred thousand people had evacuated Gaza City. The israel Defense
Forces said an opposed to x on Thursday morning that
its forces are quote expanding their activities in Gaza City
(18:07):
and continuing operations elsewhere in the Gaza Strip. Before the
expanded offensive was announced on Tuesday, the military ordered people
in Gaza City to go to what it described as
a humanitarian zone in the south.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
And a reminder sevent two News is your local election
headquarters where you are officially less than seven weeks from
California's special election on redistricting, and a new price tag
has just been released. Two hundred eighty two point six
million dollars. That's how much the California Department of Finance
projects the special election will cost the state. California Elections
(18:42):
Chief Secretary of State doctor Shirley Weber and her office
will need more than thirty one million dollars to administer
the special election, while the state will need to reimburse
a combined two hundred and fifty one million dollars to
California's fifty eight counties. San Diego Republican Assembly Member Carl
Demayo says the special election is too costly for a
state already facing a twelve billion dollar deficit.
Speaker 12 (19:05):
This latest memo confirms that the costs are spiking and
financial losses that taxpayers will have to cover because of
this unnecessary special election so that politicians can try to
seize power from the voters to manipulate the lines of
their districts.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
However, Governor k Newsom and Prop fifty supporters say the
measure is necessary to fight back against red states.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Election day is November fourth.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Students at Delta State University in Mississippi say there's a
cloud of uneasiness over the school after the body of
a student was found hanging from a tree on campus Monday.
They say there's a different atmosphere at the school following
the death of twenty one year old Demitravian Reid, who
went by Trey. Reid's body was found has been sent
to the state crime Lab for an autopsy. Students now
(19:54):
sharing a sense of unease.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Quiet. It's I wouldn't say calm.
Speaker 10 (20:04):
It's more alarming, and it feels a little gloomy, even
though the sun is shining because something very big just happened.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Reid's death has sparked an out has sparked a firestorm
of online rumors. A statement from the Boulevard County Corner's
office said Reid's body had no injuries or lacerations, contrary
to online speculation. Meantime, the Delta State Police are trying
to calm nerves.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
It's a healing process. We let our students, faculty, and
staff know that we're here for them. They can come
talk to us. We are out and about making sure
we're talking to them, but we have to allow the
investigation to take its process.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
The chief says student safety is the top priority. Welcome
back to Sunrising and your seventeen Health Watch. A new
tool is out that could help speed up autism diagnosis,
Demiro explains on today's Rich on Tech.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Rebecca Berthiola noticed her three year old son, George, showing
early signs of possible autism.
Speaker 20 (21:14):
Covering ears, sensitivity to noise, and you know, not always
answering his name.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Her pediatrician warned a traditional diagnosis could take a year
or longer.
Speaker 20 (21:24):
It did seem like a longer than what I wanted
because I was seeing signs and I kind of wanted confirmation.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
That's what she learned about a new hair test called
clear Strand, available for children as young as one month
and up to four years old.
Speaker 21 (21:36):
What I like about Clearstrand is that it's not invasive, right,
It's not a blood test.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
The test requires just a few strands of hair collected
at home and mailed to a lab. Results come back
in about three to four weeks.
Speaker 21 (21:49):
Clearstrand is another tool now where we can really get
early objective data even before the official clinical diagnosis can
be made, and this can help us with early therapy
and treatments.
Speaker 18 (22:00):
Test is ninety five percent accurate and ruling out autism.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Doctor Manish Aurora developed the test partly inspired by his
own daughter.
Speaker 18 (22:09):
My youngest daughter is nero divorce, but getting the right
diagnosis for her took me two years.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
The technology uses lasers to analyze hair like growth rings
on a tree, searching for biomarkers over time.
Speaker 18 (22:21):
We're not just looking at molecules that are inside your body.
And this single strand of hair, about one inch of hair,
is like a thousand blood.
