You're listening to kf I AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King
on demand on the iHeartRadio apps KFI hand KOST HD two, Los Angeles,
Orange County. It's time for your morning wake up call. Here's any kig.
This is your wake up call for Wednesday, September thirteenth. I'm Amy
King. Good morning, Thanks for waking up with us today. It's gonna
be a little bit cooler again. I'm enjoying this little trend, although it's
it was still pretty hot yesterday, but enjoying that it's going to be a
little bit cooler. And since it's going to be a little cooler, what
a great day to head to Disneyland. Going to Disneyland a little bit later.
You know why not only because I love Disneyland. Because they're serving drinks
there now, So I got it. I think it's important for me to
do a little check it out. See if they're any good. See what's
available like in the park. Yeah, so they actually you've been able to
get it at Oga's Cantina, and I think at blew By you you can
get like a hurricane or something like that. But they've added beer, wine
and cocktails. To three of the restaurants. It's not like walk around like
at Disney at California Adventure, where you can have a beer and just kind
of cruise around the park. It's it's at the sit down restaurants, and
so we're gonna go check it out. I'll let you know how it goes.
If I remember, just kidding, I would appreciate it. My wife's
trying to get me to go tomorrow. Really yeah, Oh, you totally
should. I think a day at Disney any day is a good day.
That's might just be me, but I like it. Here's what's ahead on
the wake up call. Lots and stuff going on. Former La County Sheriff
Alex Vineueva has confirmed he's planning to run for a seat on the La County
Board of Supervisors. He plans to run for the seat held by Janice Han
since twenty sixteen. North Korea's Kim Jong Oon has vowed support for Russia's what
he calls just fight. During a summit with President Putin. The leaders met
for two hours. Kim said Pyongyang will always stand with Moscow on the anti
imperialist front, whatever that means. With approval from the FDA and recommendations from
the CDC. The latest COVID nineteen shots should be available in California pharmacies by
the end of the week. At six oh five, we've got handle on
the news. A popular nasal decongestant doesn't really decongest I'll tell you about that.
Let's get started with some of the stories coming out at the KFI twenty
four hour newsroom. La County supervisors have agreed to pay nearly five million dollars
to settle a civil rights lawsuit by a man who says he was severely beaten
by sheriff's deputies after a traffic stop in Englewood. The man's lawyer says he
was struck in the face to forty four times in twenty twenty, which left
him unable to see out of his left eye. Also says his teeth were
knocked out and he had bone fractures in his face. A nineteen year old
suspected of fatally shooting a man at a Metro Orange Line bus stop in Mesita
has been returned to the US from Mexico. The deadly shooting happened on August
fourth. Members of the LAPD's Gang and Narcotics Division and The FBI Fugitive Task
Force found Angel Garcia in Mexico last week. A hit and run driver who
killed one bicyclist and injured two others in Huntington Beach may have been targeting bike
riders. We don't know the motive at this time, but Huntington Beach Police
is Jessica Cuccia did say in all three separate incidents, witnesses and the two
riders who survived described a very similar vehicle that intentionally sideswiped the bicyclists. We're
looking for a black Toyota for dorsedan with significant front passengers side bumper damage.
The calls all came in between ten and eleven Sunday night. We just need
to get this person off the streets. Investigators are asking homeowners and businesses to
check surveillance cameras for any infoback can help in Huntington Beach. Corbin Carson kf
I News, an expert, said civic leaders and the owners of old brick
buildings need to learn lessons from the earthquake in Morocco that's killed more than twenty
nine hundred people. Craig Chamberlain is the president of the Structural Engineers Association of
Southern California says, some of our buildings are similar to those in Morocco.
The masonry structures there are similar to those structures here in Sunny California in the
way that they're unreinforced, meaning they don't have any reinforcing within the walls to
resist earthquake loads, and those types of buildings are certainly susceptible to earthquake damager.
Construction of unreinforced brick buildings was banned back in the nineteen thirties after the
six point four Long Beach earthquake in nineteen thirty three. Let's say good morning
now to ABC's Steven portnoy Stephen. Another president, another impeachment proceeding Speaker Kevin
McCarthy's announced intentions to launch an impeachment, impeachment inquiry and President Biden's family business
dealings, right, and what he did yesterday, he stopped short of what
he said he was going to do. Kevin McCarthy repeatedly said what he was
going to do was asked the House to vote to initiate an impeachment inquiry.
What's an inquiry? Yeah, While an inquiry is a formal process, What
he has said instead is he's directing it unilaterally. He's doing something that he
excoriated Nancy Pelosi for doing three years ago when Nancy Pelosi in twenty nineteen,
in the aftermath of the release of the Ukraine Call transcript, when Donald Trump
was on the phone with Lodimerzelinsky and dropped Joe Biden's name in a conversation about
javelins and other US support for Ukraine and suggested that the only way to get
that support would be for Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden. The House Speaker then
said that there would be an impeachment inquiry. The Republicans pushed back at the
time, saying that that's not the way this should be done. There should
be a full vote on the House floor, and ultimately there was a full
vote on the House floor that they validated the inquiry that established a process that
ultimately led to the impeachment of Donald Trump the first time, and it sparked
a trial in the Senate. The second time that Donald Trump was impeached,
there was no impeachment inquiry because it was in the aftermath of January sixth,
and the House very quickly adopted articles of impeachment. There's no requirement in the
law or the Constitution that an inquiry happened in the first place. Articles of
impeachment can be drafted and approved by the House of Representatives without going through this
process. So what is this process? Right? In theory, it allows
the House of Representatives to go to the executive branch and say, we demand
that you provide certain documents that will be helpful to our investigation. And unlike
a regular commit at subpoena, which you might decide to thumb your nose at
or say that you can't provide because the executive branch has its own equities,
this is a formal inquiry within mind toward impeaching the President United States, and
the words of Kevin McCarthy, it puts the House at the apex of its
power, and the courts would be probably be more deferential to the House as
they seek particular information from government agencies. Now that works when the House has
actually taken this step, But the idea that the House Speaker himself is simply
going to say that he's initiated an impeachment inquiry. The Trump Justice Department had
an Office of Legal Council opinion that said that that's not enough. So ultimately
McCarthy may have to come back to the House and ask for a vote.
But the reason he's not doing it now is because he doesn't have the votes.
Because a number of House Republicans say that they see the smoke, they've
heard the innuendo, they've read the insinuations, but they don't believe that there's
enough to say that Joe Biden has committed treason, bribery or other high crimes
and misdemeanors. Now, how could you know that until you investigate? They'll
say, well, they'll investigate, but untiler and less there's cause to believe
that Joe Biden actually committed a crime, and the Senate should hold a trial
on those accusations. Those Republicans are going to sit on their hands. And
it's a small number, perhaps, but the margin for McCarthy's so small.
So what's going on here? Kevin McCarthy is under tremendous pressure from his right
flank to demonstrate right now at this moment that he hears what they're saying and
he and he understands that he needs to be more aggressive and doing all the
things that they want him to do. Impeach the president, you know,
cut government spending more than Democrats would ever be willing to do so much so
that so what if it causes a government shutdown on October Hurst, which at
this moment feels more unlikely than not. You know, look, the fact
is McCarthy yesterday made a symbolic statement. It was a rhetorical statement. It
was meant to assuage the members of his party who believe he's not being aggressive
enough, and it's meant to send a signal to executive branch agencies at the
House of Representatives is serious about this, and as they seek information with regard
to the Justice Department investigation into Hunter Biden, if they're not willing to comply,
well then maybe in a few weeks the House will vote to initiate an
impeachment inquiry, giving it greater than it has right now. Stephen Portnoys,
it's a huge mess, that's all I have to say. I know that
you've straightened it out for us a little bit, but boy, it's confusing,
and I just I think it's just crazy. But we'll have to wait
and see what happens. Thank you so much for trying to clarify things.
For us a little bit this morning. You guys, okay, you know
that one side does it to the other, and then the other side does
it back and says, no, you can't do this, and then they
turn around and do it. And now I think every they're going to launch
impeachment proceeding is against every president moving forward. And then the other side's going
say you can't do that, and then the next guy's going to get into
the office and they're going to say, hey, let's do that. Isn't
it fun? Love politics? Let's get back to the some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Police have tracked down the
father of a baby found alone in a stroller in Ellie's Largemont area. They're
still looking for the mom. The baby was found just before three yesterday morning.
This woman says, it's pretty unsettling. I can never imagine someone just
leaving a baby like that. It's absurd, It's absolutely horrible. I feel
so bad for the baby because she was left alone and God forbid, something
happened to her. Police say the mom's ID was in the stroller. Targe
Alexandre is twenty five years old, five foot eight about a hundred fifty pounds
with black hair and brown eyes. A woman's been arrested for allegedly starting a
fire at a Target store in Pointa Park. The fire last week was in
the children's clothing section. Police say the fire was set during an attempt to
steal baby formula. A man from San Gabriel's been said to life in prison
without parole for the deadly shooting of a Jack in the Box employee in al
Monte. The shooting happened during a botched robbery in twenty sixteen. The killer
was found guilty in June. He was also convicted of four other robberies and
two attempted robberies. LA County is working to get state and federal grant money
to cool schools in an effort to protect students from extreme heat. LA County
Supervisor Hilda Silis says a lot of schools are some of the hottest locations in
the county. Supervisors say children, teachers, and communities need to be protected
as the county continues to see extreme heat related events. Former La City Councilman
Mark Ridley Thomas could dodge the beginning of his prison sentence. Ridley Thomas's legal
team says it plans to appeal his conviction. In sentencing, the presiding judge
will decide if Ridley Thomas will get to remain free on bail while the appeal
process plays out. When he was sentenced last month, is Attorney Galia Omron
Setter team planned to appeal. We respect the jury and we respect the court's
decision today, but there are significant legal issues. Frilly Thomas has been handed
a three year prison sentence for a bribery scheme. He was ordered to report
to federal prison on November thirteenth, La Trolley k if I News. Five
former Memphis police officers are facing federal civil rights charges in the beating death of
Tyrene Nichols. Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clark says the criminal charges are separate from
a DOJ investigation into the patterns and practices of the Memphis PD. The Justice
Department will never stop working to fulfill our duty to protect the American people from
excessive and unlawful use of force by officials acting under color of law. Clark
says, when officers violate the constant Constitution, use excessive force, and ignore
serious injuries inflicted on people, they arrest their actions erode the public's trust.
The charges announced yesterday allege the five officers used excessive force, resulting in Nichols's
death. Hurricane leaves in the Atlantach It's forecast to remain a large day injurious
storm for the next couple of days at least. Officials say the category three
storm has sustained winds up to one hundred and fifteen miles per hour as of
late last night. They say it's likely to cause dangerous rip currents and surf
conditions at beaches along the East coast this week. Lee is forecast to turn
toward the north tomorrow and increase in speed. Dairy Queen is offering blizzards for
just eighty five cents. It's to promote the company's new fall flavors, which
include Pumpkin Pie, Snickerdoodle, Oreo Hot Coco, Reese's Peanut buttercup Pie,
and Caramel Fudge Cheesecake. The promotion runs until September twenty fourth. I think
I need to run down to Terry Queen. Those all sound fabulous right now,
Let's say good morning to KTLA tech reporter and host of Rich on Tech.
Here on KFI, Rich de muro, so rich, it's time to
talk Apple, new phone, new connector, new watch, new AirPods,
and new plans to go green. Hey, good morning to you. A
Yeah, a lot of house here in Cupertino, as Apple typically does.
You know, new iPhones. I think that's the thing that most people are
going to be interested in. You've got new iPhone fifteen fifteen plus. These
get a lot of the pro features from last year. They get that Dynamic
Island, which is that little bubble up at the top that shows you information.
They get a better forty eight megapixel camera. They come in new colors,
including pink, which I don't know if that has anything to do with
Barbie popularity, but you know it's there. And the big change here is
USBC on the bottom. This means that there will be one cable to rule
them all now, both on the regular phones and also the pro models.
Okay, so we're doing away with the lightning so any older phones, so
it's just from the fifteen up. Yeah yeah, sorry, but but I
mean, look, if you have one of these chargers from another device or
you you know, it'll just be much more universal. So a lot of
the you know, tech nerds like myself. If you're traveling like I just
plugged in these headphones and I will no longer need to plug in. I'd
bring two pairs of headphones, one that are USB and USBC and one that's
lightning, so I no longer need to do that, And of course all
the cables and things like that. The iPhone fifteen pros where things get interesting
because Apple is really separating these two phones now. One is much more higher
end features, one is much you know when they introduced the new stuff,
and so the fifteen Pro models have a titanium frame. They also replace the
slider on the side, the thing that switches between ring and silent that's now
programmable as an action button they call it. These phones can record three D
video later this year, and they also have on the Pro Max model,
which is the top of the line of five times telephoto zoom, which I
know may not sound like a lot for Apple folks. Are sorry for Samsung
folks because it goes up to ten times or one hundred times, But for
Apple that is a big deal because you'll be able to get closer pictures.
Samsung has superior photos. Their cameras are just wait middle or is that not
the case. There are entire YouTube you know, channels dedicated to comparing iPhone
versus Samsung. I think it really comes down to a matter of preference,
and yes, Samsung does a lot of things, right. I think that
a lot of people would agree that Apple does the best video on a smartphone.
But look, you're gonna pay for these things, these pro models.
The regular models start at eight hundred, the pro models start at a thousands.
And it's interesting because there was a rumor that Apple would raise prices.
They did not raise prices, but they did do one tricky thing. They
made it so that you can't get the same price as last year. You
have to pay one hundred dollars more, but you get double the storage,
which is what you would have paid last year. So it's a little confusing.
I'm all for more storage. I got a phone last year and it's
already full. Yeah, that happens. They also, by the way,
have two new tiers of I cloud storage. You can get six terabytes of
online storage or twelve terabytes of online storage if you ever take that many photos
or videos. The other thing I thought was interesting me, by the way,
is that all of these phones, Apple did a deal with Triple A,
so you can now get Triple A over satellite, which means even if
you don't have a cellular signal and your car breaks down, you can still
summon Triple A for help. Okay, that would be really cool because I
know that when my car broke down, I was like, I hope I
have cell service, and luckily I did. But that that's kind of a
nice, breathe easy kind of thing. Okay, So we've got the new
phone that's expensive, and we've got a new Apple Watch too. Yeah,
two new Apple Watches, the Series nine the Apple Watch Ultra. These are
largely sort of iterative, you know, upgrades, incremental upgrades. They both
get this new feature called double tap, which you know, you basically tap
your your two fingers together to select what's on the screen. So it's almost
like a gesture in the middle of you know, the work. You know,
it's just kind of like a little gesture you do, and it could
help if you have one hand, like with a coffee in your hand,
and you want to disconnect your phone call or start your phone call, you
can easily do that with the Apple Watch. Prices remain the same there,
the screens are brighter, they're faster, all that good stuff. I thought
this was interesting though, amy they are eliminating. Apple said yesterday no more
leather whatsoever in any of their products. That's it. They are done.
So they made this new leather, you know, sort of fake leather that
they're going to use for their watches. But if you think about it,
Apple makes a lot of accessories that involve leather. They say, nope,
we're going carbon neutral. We're done. Leather's not very good form, but
we're done. I have silicone or silicon or whatever it is. I like,
yeah, yeah, I think that's grippy, and I think that that's
I always that's the case that I like because it's the grippiest case. But
leather cases are very popular, you know, because it's like an accessory,
you know. Apple has a deal with I don't even know how to say
this properly, but Ormez, I think you call it right. Okay,
there you go. They have Ormez is not eliminating leather from their portfolio,
but they're no longer supplying Apple with any leather bands for their watches. So
I thought that was pretty interesting. Apple says they're going to go carbon neutral
by twenty thirty. They spent a large portion of yesterday's keynote talking about their
environmental their environmental concerns and everything they're doing to figure out better ways of doing
things in their business. Okay, and one last thing new air pay can't
say it AirPods. Yeah, So the AirPods. The thing to know about
them is they are getting a new adaptive mode, which is really cool.
I have a chance to sample that yesterday. That basically, well, it
means that you can pretty much wear these headphones all day long, these earbuds,
and they will adapt to whether you're listening to music, whether you're talking
to someone, whether you're an allowed area a soft area. They just figure
out what they need to do to make your audio sound good and also to
make it so that you can hear other people and you're talking to them.
It's a really cool feature to hundred and fifty bucks for those and they will
have USBC on the bottom. One cool thing about that, amy is that
you can now plug your air air pods into the bottom of a new iPhone
and you can charge the case. So if you're ever out and about and
you don't have battery, that's one more way to charge. Oh okay,
that's kind of a cool feature. It's two fifty. What are they what's
the going rate for AirPods? Is that normal or did they go up?
Yeah, it's funny you say that. I had to check the price right
now that the other ones are selling for about two twenty so but that's on
a discount because they've been out for about a year now. So two fifty
is about the going rate for those AirPods. So but the big thing is
that you get that, you know, the USBC feature, so that's going
to be you know, handy, so that again you only have one cable
for everything. So phone case all good. I Watch Apple Watch. Apple
Watch is still going to charge wirelessly, so that's that's still the same facture.
Okay, all right, cool? KTLA Tech rep a Rich DeMuro,
host of rich on Tech right here on KFI. You can hear him Saturdays
from eleven to two pm. And he's so smart with all things tech and
helps decipher it so my brain can understand it. I appreciate that a ton.
You can follow Rich on Instagram at rich on Tech. His website is
rich on Tech dot tv. Right now, how about we listened to c
NBC special correspondent Jane Wells. Jane, good morning. You have inflation numbers
for US, I do they just came out. Inflation in August rose a
little hotter than expected. Now for the year, inflation is trending at three
point seven percent. The feed target is always two percent, and so this
is a big question on whether or not the feed may continue to raise rates.
People are expecting them not to when they meet next, but inflation is
still an issue, and that's why they have been raising rates over the last
year or so. If you take out food and energy, inflation for August
was up still and for the year without food and energy it's at four point
three percent year over a year. So this we still got higher prices than
certainly, man, I don't well, you've been the gas pop lately,
but wow, oh up sixty cents, Yeah, at sixty one cents in
the last fifty five days or something crazy like that. Yeah, so yeah,
it's uh yeah, why would you take food and energy out of the
equation? Those are two big things. This is always my beef to use
a food pun. They they call a core inflation about stuff that's a bit
more stable because food and energy prices are very volatile to go up, they
go down, they go and go down. So they always give two numbers,
the overall inflation and the core inflation. It's all inflation to me.
Okay, So Jane, you have a story about why promoting people can backfire
on you. This was such a huge surprise. It's from ADP, which
studies the job market data, and they looked at that job histories of over
a million Americans between twenty nineteen and twenty twenty two, so that includes the
pandemic, which may mean something. They found that when you give someone a
promotion, out of these million Americans, nearly thirty thirty percent of them quit
their jobs within a month, but within a month, but only eighteen percent
would have quit if they had not been promoted. So ADP is suggesting you
increase the chance of someone quitting by rewarding them with a new title. Now
they say, well, okay, why is this happening. They suggest two
things. One is that people who get a promotion suddenly now have a better
resume to go out look for a new jobs. Or people who get a
promotion don't get a raise in pay, or they aren't given the job skills
for the new job, and so they get frustrated, and that's why they're
more likely to quit because they're not happy. I think it's different. I
think what they have found is after about a month, if they're still on
the job, that difference between quitting whether you've been promoted or not, it
starts to narrow, so it's not a big difference. So it's only in
that one month period reach it this big difference that has me wondering if people
are being promoted as a last minute effort to keep them because they're already unhappy.
That could be it, or like you said, they get a new
job, or they get the promotion, so they're all of a sudden the
vice president such and such, but they don't get the money to back it
up. Or maybe they get a little bit of a bump, but then
they go, well they didn't give me what I wanted. Forget it,
I'm out of here. Yeah. I always say, how much you're valued
by the company is what's in your paycheck. It's not your title exact amundo.
Okay. So I know that a lot of people are planning to travel
again. There's people still have the travel bug. I've got a story that
I want to do later this week about how even though we don't have the
money to do it, people are saying, screw it, we're traveling.
But if you want to travel abroad, you better plan ahead. Yes,
if you want to use Global Entry, which I am a huge fan off,
it costs one hundred dollars at last five years, and if you plan
to take more than one trip abroad over five years, I think it's so
worth it because when you come back in the country, you fly through customs.
It is I am a fan, but I'm not the only one who's
a fan. The people who have it now grown from two million to twelve
million Americans in the last decade. And the weights are so long because you
have to do an in person interview. It is taking months. Some people
are reporting they're having to wait for a year to get their Global Entry approved.
So the Wall Street Journal says, if you plan to get one,
do it now. If you need to renew yours in the next year,
get that appointment now. If you go online, I'm seeing down by Lax
they have an office for interviews on last anaca that the weight is only like
fifty days, but then they have to process it so I think it's worth
it. But it's getting your passport redue now, which it takes me a
long time. Get on it well. And even if you're not planning on
traveling in the next year, this thing is good for five years. It
is, so you might as well get on it now so that when you
plan that trip for twenty twenty four you can do it. But I don't
know Amy, if you have it or if you said I also have TSA
pre check because I play so much. But global entry when you're returning to
the country and you don't have to stand in that long line for passport control,
Oh my gosh, I feel like I'm flying first class. Okay,
well, your first class with us. Jane. Thank you. You can
find out the latest from Jane on substack at Jane Wells dot substack dot com
and you can always listen to her every week with us. Thank you so
much for your time, jan Jane appreciate it and what's you next week?
Yes, and it was fun seeing you here on Monday when you were co
hosting with Mark Thompson, though I always love to hear you on KFI.
Thank you. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour news room.
This just got just came in. The convicted killer who escaped from a
prison in Pennsylvania two weeks ago has been captured. They just got him.
We're expecting to get more details about Danello Cavalcante in the next hour or so.
Don't know where they got him, but boy are we glad that they
did. He remember he got a gun like a day ago. He's been
eluding police, he's been breaking into homes and they finally got him. So
good, good, good good. The flood death toll in Libya's city of
Derna alone not good. It's risen in more than fifty one hundred. Lap
D says more than a thousand people have applied to join the department in the
last month, shortly after La city council approved a package of pay raises and
bonuses. Apparently those the higher pay and the bonuses are working for getting the
recruitment levels up. We're just minutes away from handle on the news this morning.
I betcha he's going to be talking about that convicted killer who is now
back in custody. But Bill's also going to give us his take on the
meeting between Russia's President Putin and North is Kim John Own. So there's a
new program in Long Beach to keep women safe when they go to bars.
It's called the SIP Safe program. You may have heard about it. It
launched just a few days ago, but we wanted to dig a little deeper
into what it is and how you can use it. So let's say good
morning now to Long Beach Vice Mayor Cindy Allen. Cindy, tell us more
about the safe SIP Safe program. Well, thank you, Amy, I
appreciate you having me. You know, I introduced this original legislation just to
address the problem of folks who have been drugs by what we known you on
the street as the rape drug or GHB. And I had heard about,
you know, just incidents happening in Long Beach bars and knew that something had
to absolutely be done about this. And you know, Amy, I'm a
retired police officer and this type of crime just really just chaps my hide and
and so I knew that something had to be done, and so have work
with city council and we allocated about twenty five thousand dollars for these test kits,
and that will give us about forty five hundred or so kits and each
of them have about ten kits in it, and bars in the city of
Long Beach can just request for these test kits and it will be delivered to
them. Okay, So you mentioned that you had heard about this, and
I get you, Like, it's a scary thing when you think, oh,
I'm just going out to a bar and then you wake up the next
day and you've been raped or something and you don't even know it because somebody
slipped you a mickey, you know, which is the old term for it.
But how big of a problem is it, Well, listen, it's
a it's a bigger problem than I think we know. And I have I
talked to several women. One woman in particular, she said, you know,
she was going out for drinks after work and she doesn't remember anything after
you know, a couple of drinks, and she woke up the next morning
in someone's garage. And it's really you know, when this stuff happens,
it's embarrassing. People blame the women, like they drink too much, and
most women don't report. And so if I can encourage if anyone is in
a bar and they feel like a little fizzy or something that's happening. They
need to call nine one one immediately and there's no shame in doing that.
We need people to report this. We have seen that the numbers have gone
up over the last couple of years, but I can tell you the numbers
don't really indicate how how prevalent this is happening, and not just Long Beach
bars, but bars all over the state. Is this the first program like
this the ship safe program? Or are you modeling this after other cities now
where there are other cities in the South Bay that have tested this, and
so yes, this has been modeled after them. Okay. So the bars
then are the ones who would request the testing kits? Correct? Correct.
So we're trying to make this as easy as possible. You know, we
have a very diverse community here on Long Beach. We have a very diverse
bar scene, entertainment scene. So these will be available and many different languages
on our Health Department website and so any establishments so our events can go on
and request those test kits. Okay. So then if you're at a bar
and you go I want to make sure my drink is safe, you just
go up to the bartender and say I want a testing kit or how does
that work? How does that get you know, funneled down to the people
the end user. Basically, Yeah, So basically the person patron would request
a kit, and basically it's a strip. It has two dots on it
and you can either use your straw to put your you're some of the liquid
from your drink over the two dots, or you could use your finger and
and then you know there's a dark blue color. Then it's indication that there
is some type of GHB in your drink. So it would be it would
not be the bartender necessarily testing. It would be a strip that the patron
would obtain and then test their drink if they had any suspicion that they could
have been drugged. Okay, and there's no cost to the bars for this
or to the patrons for this, because the city's picking up the table.
That is correct, there's no cost. Again, it's just making sure that
as many establishments as possible that we can get their hands on these kits and
that they're behind the bar so that if a woman feels that or has any
suspicion that she might have been drugs, that this is available for her to
test. Okay, and they're available now, Yes, they are okay.
So where can if we have a bar owner or operator listening, where can
they Where can they go apply to get some of the kids. So you
can just go on the City of Long Beach Health Department website and there will
be a link for any establishments to order the kits. And like I said,
I think each there's forty five hundred kits available and each of those forty
five hundred kits have ten task kits. And now that's forty five thousand,
yes, lovely. And so when a wingman isn't enough, try the Ship
Safe program. That's right, you know what. Listen, We're going to
make sure everyone's safe and Long Beach and I'm hoping that everyone knows about SIP
safe and everyone participates. So stay safe out their women. We're looking after
you. We got your back, all right, Vice Mayor Cindy Allen.
Thanks to you, a lot more people know about the Ship Safe program this
morning. Thank you so much, Jimmy. Okay, let's get back to
some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. As
they just mentioned a couple of minutes ago, an escaped murderer has been captured
after eluding hundreds of searchers for two weeks. He hit out in wooded areas.
He broke into holmes, took food, He ran off as one homeowner
was firing shots at him after he stole a rifle. He also stole a
vehicle. He changed his appearance. But now Danello Cavalcante is back in custody.
We're expecting to get more information about how they caught him, when they
found him, and well what's next. Of course, what's next. He's
going back to prison for the rest of his life because he's a convicted murder.
But that's happening about six thirty, so we'll bring you the latest right
here on kfive. How Speaker Kevin McCarthy says he's directing the House to open
an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. McCarthy is meeting with lawmakers in private this
week. He's also dealing with efforts to pass legislation needed to avoid a federal
government shutdown. Nearly seven hundred LAPD officers have sued the city, alleging their
safety has been impacted by the release of department photos and personal information through the
California Public Records Act. The suit filed yesterday claims the department negligently at least
the information earlier this year. It was then posted to various websites. The
suit says it puts the lives of the officers and their investigations at risk,
and a government watchdog agency in France has ordered Apple to withdraw the iPhone twelve
from the French market because of claims it puts out too much radiation. The
National Frequency Agency yesterday also called on Apple to implement all available means to rapidly
fix the malfunction for phones already being used. Apple has disputed the findings.
