You're listening to kf I AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King
on demand on the iHeartRadio apps. How about include a good call your host,
Amy King. This is your wake up Call, fourth Thursday, August
twenty four. Good morning, I'm a Me King. Okay, I just
have to say I think that was so cool as Todd lights from the La
Dodgers. As you may recall, we got to go out to Dodger Stadium
and do a little behind the scenes and got to meet Todd and he was
kind enough to do that, So I thought that was kind of kind of
cool. Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. Four people have been killed
in a shooting at a biker bar in Tribuco Canyon, Ocie. Sheriff's officials
to the shooter was a retired law enforcement officer. He was shot and killed
by deputies. Eight Republican candidates for president faced off last night in the first
debate of the twenty four twenty four campaign. We're gonna talk with five thirty
eights Elliott Morris in a minute to find out who one who lost and what
it all means. Lizzo says she's planning to file a lawsuit against the same
backup dancers who are suing her. Three or her former dancers filed suit against
the singer earlier this month, accusing her of sexual harassment. Let's get started
with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Four people in Orange County have been killed six were injured in a mass shooting
at a biker bar in Tribuco Canyon. First Department says nine dispatchers could hear
shots fired in the background as multiple people called to report a shooting at Cook's
Corner. Sergeant Frank Gonzale says call started coming in last night about seven o
four. At seven o six pm, our first deputies arrived on scene and
about seven o eight pm, our deputy's contact at a male's subject. It
was armed with a gun. A deputy involved, shooting occurred and the male
subject was pronounced to cease at the scene. Investigators say at least thirty to
forty people were witnesses at the bar at the time of the shooting. Intribuco
Canyon, Corbin Carson, k if I news A woman accused of spitting on
a security guard at a grocery store and Lancaster will not face assault or shoplifting
charges. The La County DA's office says it declined to file against jac Houston
and Damon Barnes. On June twenty fourth, the husband and wife were seen
inside of Wincofoods on West Avenue K and video shows Houston lowering her face mask
and spitting on an employee, then pushing him aside. Moments later, in
Elle County sheriff's deputy arrived and arrested Barnes, and in the process, Houston
approached the deputy while shouting at him. Then the deputy took her to the
pavement. Sheriff Luna called the deputy's actions disturbing and started an internal investigation.
Steve Gregory Knifey News Criminal charges have been filed against an La County Sheriff's deputy
who was off duty when he allegedly tried to cover up a fellow deputy's drunk
driving crash and Stevenson Ranch. Prosecutors say the deputy pulled his colleague out of
a patrol car last summer and put him in his wife's car to drive him
home. They say the deputy then tried to move the car before someone driving
past reported him. He was relieved of duty Tuesday and is said to be
arraigned on accounts of conspiracy to obstruct justice, giving false information to an officer,
and obstructing an investigation. The other deputy was charged earlier this year with
driving under the influence. The first Republican debate for twenty twenty four started with
discussions of climate change related to recent wildfires on Maui and tropical Storm Hillary here
in southern California. Former South Carolina Governor NICKI Hailey said the US has to
do its part to fight climate change, but it's not just our responsibilities.
Climate change real, yes, it is, but if you go and really
change the environment, then we need to start telling China in India that they
have to lower their emissions. She says President Biden's climate policies are helping China
buy putting money in their pockets. Another candidate, Vivic Ramaswamy, says the
climate change agenda is a hoax. The leader of the Wagner Mercenary group,
who led a mutiny in Russia in June, has been killed in a jet
crash. This was a plane that took off from Moscow and if you look
at the flight data that we can see online. Everything seems to be going
normally. It took off, it was flying, and then all of a
sudden, it pretty much just drops out of the sky. ABC's kiret Rodya
says, Russia's Civil Aviation Agency confirmed, you have Guinny Pergosian. Six top
lieutenants and three crew members were on board the business jet that crashed yesterday in
a field north of Moscow. President Biden was asked about the crash and said
nothing happens in Russia without President Putin knowing about it. The crash happened after
Russian media report at a top general link to Progosian had been dismissed as commander
of the Air Force. Krispy Kream is offering Pupkin spice Doggie donuts to celebrate
National Dog Day. Officials say the donut shaped biscuits will come in multiple flavors,
including Pupkin spice get it, Original glazed, Pupkin spice Cake, Pupkin
Spice, Maple Peanut, and Pupkin spice Cheesecake squirrel Nope, not squirrel Swirl.
They say the treats are made with pumpkin peanut, butter and carab and
are good for dogs of all sizes and ages. Dog owners can snag the
treats from Sunday through August thirty. First, it's a five or six on
wake up call. Let's say good morning now to five thirty eight. Elliott
Morris, the editorial director of Data Analytics. Big title that means he knows
a lot. Elliot, the first Republican Debate is in the books five thirty
eighths a place to go to break it all down. So break it down
for us, who won, who lost doesn't mean anything. Well, unfortunately
for the numbers point of view. My answers that people have to wait,
They have to wait and see. And I know that's not a totally satisfying
answer, but I'll explain myself here. And the big things to people to
remember is that polls take a while to reflect how people feel. That's the
big that's a big lesson from our study of primary polls over the last forty
years. You'll see stuff like this Drudge Report instant poll. It's the survey
calling itself a poll, but it's really just the Drudge asking readers at Drudge's
website how they felt about the debate. So it's important for people to know
that these surveys aren't super representative and that they have to wait for better data
later. And again, I know no one like to wait, but it's
just the best thing to do if you don't want to wait one or two
weeks, which is what I normally recommend waiting after a big debate to look
at the polling averages. Five thirty eight partner with IPSOS and the Washington Post
on a survey of the same group of Americans. We have them pre and
debate how they feel the candidates did, if they've changed their vote intention for
them, or if they've considered voting for someone they weren't considering before, that
sort of thing. I mean, those results come out today around midday,
around two o'clock. Hopefully they're as interesting as I'm promising that they'll be.
Okay, So from your initial observations, do you traditionally see the needle move
at all after a debate like this. I know we have to wait for
the results, but just traditionally, oh yeah, the biggest there are two
big events in primary election campaign. There's people actually voting, like an Iowa
caucus or a New Hampshire primary that sort of thing, and then there is
a debate, So last night's performance is bound to be really important for at
least one candidate. We should have to wait before we make any proclamations about
who actually won or lost. There are a couple of theories based off of
original polling data. Before the debate, It's like sixty percent of Republicans told
us they didn't know who the Vekee Ramaswamy was. He's an entrepreneur running for
the Republican nomination, and he was in the center of the debate last night,
both physically and metaphorically. He was attacked a lot by his opponents,
and he definitely did his own fair share of attacking them as well. Very
young, he as an outsider, so he drew those sorts of punches quite
frequently. Really, all he had to do was get up on that debate
stage and say I'm vig here's what I stand for. And he did that.
So I think we'll see him rise in the polls if I had to
guess, And I think Ronda Santis also will end up coming out of this
debate looking pretty well. Also, he didn't make a whole lot of news.
He avoided I think any disastrous performances against the other candidates, and honestly,
part of the name of the game of the primary elections just not making
any blunders. And he didn't do that last night either. So I'll be
watching those two candidates for sure. Do the ones who delivered the zingers tend
to score well or is it the ones who provide substance or is there no
clear delineation there? Yes, I don't really think we have enough information to
tell. I mean, on the one hand, the zingers can can really
matter. People always remember the Walter Mondale Ronald Reagan zinger, where you know,
a Reagan says he's not going to make his bigponent's inexperienced part of the
campaign. That's a really good singer. And there are a couple of one
liners at the debate last night that could emerge. There's Nicky Haley saying to
the Veke he doesn't have any foreign policy experience. There's the Veke telling Chris
Christie he's running for a show on NBC, not to beat Brad, not
to be president of the United States. So the only you know, the
only thing is people already knew all this stuff about these candidates. So there's
not necessarily new information. It's it's just sort of repeating of their talking points
in the campaign so far. So okay, Really think it's all about the
eyeball in the end today, because what's to do? Well? I bet
okay. And if we want to get the early results from the Washington Post
IPSOS poll, where when is that going to be out again? At noon?
It should be out around two o'clock in the at noon your time in
LA on five three day dot com. Okay, great, thank you so
much, Elliott Morris, appreciate your time this morning. Can't wait to see
the numbers. I love to see debates and all that. All right,
thanks so much. The needles moving, Let's get back to some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Former President Trump,
who was not at the debate last night, is expected to surrender in Georgia
on charges he tried to overturn the state's results in the twenty twenty election.
He posted on a social media platform he will proudly be arrested in Georgia.
Trump is expected to be fingerprinted and get his mug shot taken today. He's
already agreed to a two hundred thousand dollar bond and other release conditions, including
not using social media to target codefendants and witnesses. A parole in LA has
been charged with murder for allegedly killing a woman in Pasadena and what police call
an apparent case of domestic violence. The guy was on parole for robbery when
the woman was killed. Monday. The man surrendered to SWAT officers following an
hour's long standoff inside an apartment. A woman who allegedly admitted to drowning her
three children at an apartment in Racida has been ordered to stand trial for murder.
The kids were five months, two years, and three years old when
they were drowned in twenty twenty one. The baby was also stabbed in the
chest. The mom told a reporter she drowned her children because she feared their
abuse and sexual assault at the hands of others. Hundreds of people have rallied
outside the federal courthouse in San Francisco to protest in order banning the city from
clearing homeless camps until there are more shelter beds than homeless people. We have
found debt bodies, we have found a debt baby. In these We have
seen people in really awful congestions. San Francisco Mayor London Breed said yesterday the
city can no longer maintain safe, clean streets while trying to get homeless people
inside. Some homeless people say they agree with the injunction. They say the
city should stop forcing them to move until there are thousands more shelter beds.
The Angels show, Hey Otani has pitched his last game the season because of
an elbow injury. He left the game last night at Angel Stadium and the
second inning. It's not clear if he's going to need surgery to repair a
tear in his elbow ligament. Hey, have you noticed a lot of people
are tatted up these days? No? Do you have tattoos? I do
not, do not? You know what I don't either. We are the
rare ones, I think we well, actually, so overall, one in
three Americans now have tattoos, and the majority of the people who have tattoos
have more than one. Pew Research Center did a whole study on this,
so of that thirty two percent, twenty seven percent of men, and thirty
eight percent of women have tattoos. That's kind of surprising to me that more
women than men have tattoos. The age range that has the most tattoos is
thirty to forty nine year olds with a high school or less education, lower
income, and the sexual orientation of people with tattoos all the ratio is LGBTQ
fifty one percent and straight people fifty one percent. And as for why so
many people have tattoos, the most commonly cited reason was to honor or remember
some one or something, and I'm all for that, but I can't commit
to anything that long me neither, so that's why I don't have it.
Former President Trump's expected to turn himself in and being booked into the Fulton County
Jail in Georgia. On his truth social yesterday, he said he is proudly
surrendering this afternoon. Japan has begun releasing treated radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear
plant into the Pacific Ocean. One point three million metric tons of the wastewater
will be dumped into the ocean gradually over the next thirty years. Temperatures could
top one hundred degrees in Minnesota, and with humidity, it could feel like
up to one hundred twenty degrees from Texas to Florida. As a dangerous heatwave
blankets parts of the southern and central US coming up at six OZHO five is
Handle on the news, and he's gonna dig a little deeper into the nine
people shot at that popular biker bar in Orange County in Tribuco Canyon. Right
now, let's say good morning to ABC's crime and Terrorism analyst Brad Garrett.
Good morning, Brad. So this was a bit of a shock. Video
shows this jet flying through the sky one second, then dropping straight to the
ground the next. On board that jet if Genny Progosian, the head of
the Wagner Mercenary group who staged a little coup against Vladimir Vladimir Putin. Before
we dig into who Progoshen was, is he really dead and was this a
surprise? Absolutely, it's no surprise. I'm actually surprised it didn't occur before
two months after his attempted coup. So if anybody thinks that this plane probably
crashed on its own, I think that's highly unlikely. Apparently there was a
wing in this sing as it was coming to the ground. My guess is
some version of an anti aircraft of weapon took it down. Does this,
I mean, does this make Putin look stronger or more weak because he I
mean, everybody's saying Putin probably orchestrated this. It'd be shocked if he didn't
orchestrate this. He was in a world of an eye for an eye,
and it's a wrong man mentality. I mean, he's not bashful about killing
off people, from poisoning to falling out of windows. I mean it goes
on and on to do this in a little bit more spectacular way. I
mean it took out at least the second in command and maybe even the third
command of the Wagner group in this plane. So he made a big statement
in that regard that if you mess with me, this is what happens.
Okay. So, and of course prog had the mutiny where he said we're
heading into Moscow and then then they backed down. So should we be sad
that this guy is gone, because I mean, he was sort of like
a I wouldn't say a hero, but everybody's like, wow, go Progosian,
you're fighting back against Putin. But he's not exactly an exemplary citizen.
He's on the FBI's ten most wanted list. Let's start with that, all
right, And then and then move on to that. The Wagner Groups been
classified by our Treasury Department as a transnational criminal organization. That's how we label
drug cartels. I mean we're talking murder, human rights, robbery, rape.
The Wagner Group is all over Africa making putin billions of dollars. I
mean quickly, they went into the Central African Republic to help the autocrats stay
in power. They fought with his military for a period of time. Then
they got the mineral rights to gold and other minerals in that country, which
apparently pull in billions of dollars. Some believe that alone is helping fund the
Ukrainian war. So all the sanctions that we've slept on Russia not necessarily that
effective because there are other streams of revenue coming in thanks to the Wagner Group.
That is correct. The question now is can the Wagner Group even continue
to function. I mean they apparently got banished Belarus next door. That's the
president of that country is a big buddy with Putin as to what they're going
to be at this point. I mean Pregos, you know, was the
kingpin here. So we'll see and where where were that money flows? It's
still going to come in like it has so, and like you mentioned,
the future of the Wagner Group, it could be in jeopardy because you know,
when he said let's go to Moscow, they followed, and when he
said okay, stopped, they stopped. So will they follow Putin? I
don't know. I mean the bigger question is ken Putin find somebody that they
will respect that will clearly have to follow Putin. I think that's probably all
up in the air at this point. I mean, for Putin to replicate
what Pregosan was doing would take him a lot of years. But I can't
underestimate the amount of money that Progo has pulled for Russia over the last roughly
fifteen years, and that's got to have a big financial bite. I would
think in the short term for Prudin. How many people are in the Wagner
Group, because it's a mercenary group, right, Yes, it's a group.
I've seen numbers of twenty five thousand. I've sent bigger numbers. I
do know that the neces fairly well published that they were running short on people,
and Progotion is even seen going into Russian prisons, recruiting prisoners and giving
him giving them a small stipend and if they've survived the war, they wouldn't
have to go back to jail. Now, so many of them died because
they just put them with the front lines. They weren't trained. I mean,
it's just awful. But the point the point being, I think the
manpower probably fluctuates from a month to month. Okay, well, we'll be
watching to see what happens, because I just was shocked when I saw that
yesterday. And then you see that plane just drop out of the sky,
You're like, yeah, not an accident. Thanks booting exact. All right,
Thank you so much, Brad Garrett for your insight and analysis. Always
appreciated. And we'll talk again soon. Sounds great, Thank you, Amy.
Thanks. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. LAPD officers, detectives and lieutenants have a new
contract with the city. The council voted twelve three yesterday to approve a four
year deal which helps with recruitment and retention. Council members like Tracy Park say
the contract is necessary to stay competitive with other police departments, to keep the
police officers we have and to hire the ones we need. Council members who
oppose the contracts say they're concerned with the LAPD's bloated budget and a word the
city won't be able to fully fund other necessary departments. The man accused of
killing a nineteen year old woman taken from a park in Whittier after a shooting
has been charged with murder, kidnap, an attempted rape. Andrea Vasquez's body
was found Monday in a field of Marino Valley. All seven charges against Gabriel
Asparza include an allegation that he personally used a rifle. Police have said kidnapping
or the kidnapping was random. A man convicted of stealing four hundred thousand dollars
worth of cars from dealerships in southern California has been senced to eleven years in
prison. The state Attorney General's office is the man targeted dealers across several counties
between November of twenty twenty one and February twenty twenty two. He used stolen
identities to finance high end vehicles. ATA say a lot of the cars ended
up in chop shops in Mexico, and the NCUBAA is facing a defamation lawsuit
from former USC running back Reggie Bush. Bush's lawsuit claims the NCAA falsely accused
Bush in USC of a paper play scheme. Bush has his lawsuit is about
holding the NCAA accountable, which is I think the first time maybe that at
least in my memory, that this is happening. The lawsuit calls for infractions
against Bush to be removed so he can get his two thousand and five Heisman
Trophy back. Bush's attorneys say the violations the NCAA found were minor and based
on questionable testimony at the coliseum. Blake Trolley k if I News. Right
now, What am I on? I'm on streaming shows, series, documentaries,
movies, mostly streaming, some network stuff, but a lot of streaming
because there's so much out there and who knows what you're gonna watch, So
I take recommendations from my friends. I watch stuff. I sit on the
couch for hours and hours on end. It's a good excuse for me to
be lazy, and then I hopefully share some good ones with you so you
can check them out too. Today we're on Star Wars Asoka, which you
don't hear this this particular theme but it is a Star Wars story. So
rosar Rio Dawson, most recently seen in Haunted Mansion, she looks a little
different Stars It's so they dropped the first two episodes on Tuesday night, and
they'll drop another episode each week through the first week on October. I believe
it's eight episodes for this season. And it's sort of along the lines of,
you know, it's a Star Wars story like Andor Was, or like
the Mandalorian or even Boba Fett. So it it kind of has that feel
like classic Star Wars, not like the New Batch with all the action in
the movies seven, eight, and nine. The starts a little slow as
they try to establish the story because Ahsoka, for me, is a new
character. I know die hard fans who are really into Star Wars know who
she is, and I know my my nephew Michael was so excited when they
saw her because she appeared I believe in Mandalorian and the Codo's nodding, well,
I love the Mandalorian. Okay, did see her in the Mando,
Well that's where so she showed up. But she's been in some of the
animated stuff and she's in the Star Wars stories and you find out like in
the very first episode, she said, oh, I never finished my training
with Anakin Anakin Skywalker who becomes Darth Vaders, or I'm like, oh,
there's some cool backstory that we're going to find out about. So they're they're
dropping little nuggets to kind of get you interested, but it's hard because you
don't know the characters. So the visual effects are great as always. There
is an adorable catlike thing that has dunck feet. It's kind of weird,
but it's cute. And then there's also a droid named Chopper who's a spunky
little thing and he has arms, like none of the little droids like R
two D two have arms. This guy does, so it's kind of fun.
So if you like classic Star Wars, I think you're gonna like this.
I'm gonna keep watching it. Again, it's a little bit slow,
and my nephew's response was that it's the first time they're trying to bring out
the original storytelling and storylines of Star Wars, so he's excited about it.
So I recommend it. It's on Disney Plus and again. New episodes will
drop on Tuesday. The first two are out Now let's get back to some
of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A man
who killed three people at a biker bar in Tribuco Canyon may have been a
retired law enforcement officer and may have targeted his wife. OC Fire thirty Chief
Brian Fantasy says several people were hurt last night during spaghetti night at Cook's Corner.
Paramedics treated and transported six people to a local trauma center, five of
which had reported gunshot wounds. Two of the six people we transported are in
critical condition. The OC Sheriff's Department says multiple deputies were involved in shooting the
man just four minutes after the first nine one one call came in. The
shooter is reported to be a retired Ventura Police Department sergeant. Witnesses say the
shooter was an older man with a graybeard. One person says the band was
playing when the shooting started and he saw a guy with two guns in his
hands. He says the guy ran out into the parking lot, got what
looked like a rifle or shotgun from a pickup truck, and started shooting again.
This man says he was there, I heard the shots. I heard
the deputy, I saw the deputies second cover, and then I saw the
much on fire, and I just ran and looked for cover myself. A
woman who'd been in the bar later posted photos on social media showing blood smeared
on the floor. A person involved in an hour's long standoff with police in
Pittsburgh has been killed. Allegheny County's Sheriff Kevin Krauss, as officers were serving
an eviction notice yesterday when the man inside became dangerous. He immediately opened fire
on our deputies. They began to take cover return fire, engaged in a
pretty significant gun battle. Kraus says they gave the guy every opportunity to surrender
before Swat moved in. He says he can't even count the number of shots
fired back and forth. The man had a lot of ammunition. A food
bank in Orange County has pulled forty eight thousand pounds of cardboard out of landfills
each month to a zero waste Where's the world's first second harvest. Food Bank
of OC's Kelly Elisi says the organization bought reusable plastic bins for food and went
digital where possible to reduce twenty thousand sheets of paper per year, all to
get certified as the world's first zero waste food bank. When we started this,
we were at fifty nine percent, and now two years later we are
at ninety five point two percent of product not having to go into a landfill.
She says. The rest is reused, reduced, and recycled in Orange
County. Corbin Carson k if I News, the man accused of killing Ford
University of Idaho students has waived his right to a speedy trial. Officials say
the judge gave Brian Coburger until September twenty fifth to make a decision, and
yesterday he officially waived his right. That means the trials start date, originally
set for October second, is postponed indefinitely. Apparent of one of the murdered
students posted on Facebook before the hearing, expressing concern over how long it would
take to begin a trial. Republicans candidates for president have debated over a national
abortion ban, among other topics. Former Vice President Penn said last night he
would push for a federal fifteen week ban on abortion if he's elected president.
Former South Carolina Governor Nicky Haley argued she is unapologetically pro life, but thinks
a national band would never pass Congress. North Dakota Governor Doug Bergham says a
ban is unconstitutional and the issue should be left up to states. It may
be a final curtain for a teacher at Temecula Valley High School. Greg Bailey
has been the entry level drama teacher at the high school for six years.
Recently, Bailey was suspended for offering the Pulitzer Prize winning play Angels in America,
which chronicles the AIDS epidemic in the nineteen eighties, as a choice of
ten plays to read for a final assignment. During a school board meeting back
in May, one parent of a fifteen year old student publicly spoke out,
saying that the content of that play disturbed her daughter. The next day,
Bailey was suspended. The teacher says that he feels like a chess piece in
a larger battle. Recently, the district has gay national attention for the banning
of textbooks that included critical race theory. Andrew Caravella k if I News okay
I saw a post yesterday on Instagram of a pumpkin with an eight twenty four
carved into it, and I was like, ooh, what does that mean?
Well I found out it means Starbucks is launching it's pumpkin spice latte products
for the fall. Today. It's still summer. We have another month to
go, but anyway, it's never too early for some pumpkin spice lattees.
All right, Okay, Kona, Then I think that you should go get
them for the group later. Today they have the Pumpkin Spice Traditional and plus
the Pumpkin Cream cold brew that's new. And then there's another one, the
Apple Crisp Oatmeal shaken Espresso. Okay, and did you know that Starbucks is
celebrating twenty years of pumpkin spice? So you didn't now Starbucks employee for and
you still didn't know that. Okay, way to be involved in your job.
Hey. So Starbucks originally, so we're gonna go back twenty years,
they wanted to come up with a new fall drink and they're like, what
are we going to do? So they had a hundred ideas for its first
fall drink, and they put together a little liquid lab and they tasted a
hundred different recipes. Big on the list was anything that had caramel and chocolate.
So a couple of the top ones were a maple pecan flavor, there
was a honey nut drink, and there was a cranberry chocolate mocha. The
pumpkin latte was on the list, but actually almost didn't even make the cut.
It almost never happened because while it scored very high and uniqueness when they
tested people and asked people about it, people had a very low likelihood of
purchasing it, So it almost didn't make it. And now look at it.
I mean, it's the rage everywhere, So welcome to fall. Starbucks
is offering its Pumpkin spice menu starting to day. So if you love cars,
we have an event for you. It's the San Marino Motor Classic,
happening this weekend at Lacy Park. Adam Weiss is one of the organizers of
what's been dubbed Southern California's premiere automobile show showcase. And we got a chance
to catch up with Adam as finishing touches or put on the show. What
are people going to see when they come out to the show this weekend,
Because it's gonna be spectacular. Spectacular is an understatement. We have four hundred
and fifty cars out on the field, and it goes from the early cars
in the nineteenth century, brass and nickel cars, all the way through the
twenties thirties. There will be Ferrari's, Porscha's Corvettes, a huge group of
Lamborghinis, Woodies. So whatever your automotive interests are, they'll be out on
the field. We even have a class of thirty two through thirty four four
hot rots, and so everybody is there's something for everybody to see. In
addition, we have five dealers coming with new cars. Ooh, love to
see the new stuff, but love to see the old stuff. Here's one
of the old stuff. Now, Aaron, this one belongs to you and
your wife. Yes, tell us about this vehicle. This is a nineteen
twenty nine Auburn eight one twenty, So it's an eight cylinder one hundred and
twenty horsepower boattail speedster. And this car was predominantly what they call a halo
car. What does that mean. That means that it brought people into the
show rooms. They might not necessarily buy it, but it got him in
the door because it looked so cool. Yes, okay, and then they
put him in something from Peach a little. So it's starting with the upsell
and working down. Yeah, that's exactly right. So all of these cars
are going to be out at the show this weekend and they're just so in
premo condition. How do you keep these cars in this great condition. It's
a full time occupation. So we we clean. We have somebody whose job
is to keep them absolutely clean. Okay, So when people come out to
the show, they're going to see the four hundred vehicles from all different eras.
And you mentioned a couple of the newer cars. Of course, these
are all classics and just so great to look at and just a sampling of
what you're going to see. But what are some of the newer cars that
people are going to see. Well, they're going to see a lot of
Ferraris. There will be over one hundred Ferraris in the on the field,

There's also a link to get tickets to the show. Aaron is showing us
and telling us about more of the cars. Oh my gosh, they were
so cool looking. They're going to be on display this weekend. Plus there's
an art show on Saturday that is free, and there's a car show gala
on Saturday night that sounds really amazing. There still maybe a few tickets left
for that, so if you want to go check that out, go to
again our website KFIAM six forty dot com and check the wake up call page.
Okay, I want to ruminate on the debate for just a second.
A first look at the top eight candidates. Two of them I wasn't even
sure who they were was Asa Hutchinson and Doug Bergram, who were on the
end and they didn't get a lot of chance to talk. But center stage
was Ronda Santis and Vivek Ramaswamy. He said, who's this guy with the
funny name and skinny legs? And I think that's all people really knew about
him. But so my overall take on the debate was there there were a
lot of voices shouting, there were some good lines, but you don't really
get to dig into policy when you have that many people up on this stage.
So I have an idea. I think that when they do debates,
they should do it like they do the NC Double A tournament and do it
in brackets. So like on one debate you'd have Chris Christi and Asa Hutchinson,
and another debate you'd have Ron De Santis and Ramaswamy and whoever won the
debate would move on to the next round. I think that way you'd actually
get to dig in and hear and see what they have to say and what
they really feel about some of their their you know, their policies and that
kind of thing. I think Nicki Haley did an amazing job last night.
It was really impressed with her. I thought Vivek did a really good job,
although he kindest sounded like a petulant child a couple of times. And
I expected Chris Christie to do better because he's really good at debating, but
he looked a little out of his element and was, you know, trying
to get the zingers in there, but not so much policy stuff. So
this was just the first of many debates, and I know that five thirty
eight dot com is going to have summers results on how what people thought about
them and whether that's going to move the needle. Of course Trump wasn't there,
but we'll have more debates. And I am a total political junkie,
so I'll be watching them, all of them a lot, and then talking
about them, so I hope you enjoy them too. This is KFI and
