WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:05.360 You're listening to kf I AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King 2 00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:14.400 on demand on the iHeartRadio apps k FINE and kost HT two Los Angeles, 3 00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:37.320 Orange County. Name you ab King, Good morning, It's five o'clock. 4 00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:44.759 This is your wake up call for Thursday, September twenty eight. Did you 5 00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:49.759 watch the debate last night? What do you think We're gonna be talking about 6 00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:54.079 this a little bit more with Alex Stone in just a few minutes. I 7 00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:57.960 want to dig into it. I just thought there was there was a lot 8 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.960 of yelling and screaming and talking each other over each other, and I think 9 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.519 Dana Perino threatened to turn off their microphones at one point, and I was 10 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:11.040 like, why don't you just stop it? Act like adults. But I'm 11 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.200 fascinated by debates either side, don't care. I love watching them. So 12 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.920 yeah, I was glued to my TV set last night. Here's what's ahead 13 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.400 on wake up Call. As I just mentioned, the second presidential debate has 14 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:27.920 been held without frontrunner Donald Trump. Two of the seven candidates took shots at 15 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:33.439 him. Former or Florida Governor Ronda Santas said Trump was missing in action, 16 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:38.280 and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said Trump would rather hide behind his golf 17 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.599 clubs than defend his record. Two of the candidates are hanging around to do 18 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:47.959 fundraisers in SOCl. Former Vice President Mike Pence is holding a fireside chat and 19 00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:52.719 reception at the Lost World of State in Anaheim, and former South Carolina Governor 20 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:57.079 Nicky Hayley, also former UN ambassador, is hosting an event in Beverly Hills. 21 00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:01.239 The La City Council's committed thirty million dollars to adding and replacing bus shelters 22 00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:07.640 in underserved communities. The shelters or overhangs at bus stops that provide protection from 23 00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.319 the sun and the rain. The funding improved yesterday will pay for two hundred 24 00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:15.719 eighty shelters. Hey, we've got your BOO preview coming up at five thirty 25 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.800 five. What's spooky place are we visiting this week? Stick around if I 26 00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.680 know. At six oh five, it's handling the news. Gas prices have 27 00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:28.199 taken another huge jump in La County. Bill's going to dig into why and 28 00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.719 what's next. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the 29 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:36.000 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Sag Aftra has announced it will restart the long 30 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:40.560 stalled negotiations with the Hollywood studios next week. The next bargaining session is scheduled 31 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:46.840 for Monday. The Writers Guild says it will continue to support actors on picket 32 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:52.080 lines as a deal between the WGA and studios moves to be finalized. Writers 33 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.800 called an end to their labor strike that lasted nearly five months and cost the 34 00:02:54.840 --> 00:03:00.639 economy and estimated three billion dollars. Writer and director Monique store And says she's 35 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:04.800 elated the strike is over, but will remain on picket lines in solidarity with 36 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.759 the actors. We didn't get everything that we wanted, but we got so 37 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:13.479 much, and I do think negotiations are about ultimately compromising. Writers will have 38 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.719 to ratify their deal with studios in a formal vote in October. Sagafter says 39 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:22.000 it will continue to strike until an agreement is approved for its members. Chris 40 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:28.000 Adler KFI News Pelisamiriette have arrested a youth football coach for attacking a player on 41 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.280 an opposing team. Officers responded Saturday to reports of a fight at a local 42 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:36.080 high school involving coaches, players and parents. They say the fifty year old 43 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.280 coach punched a fourteen year old from the other team in the face, causing 44 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:42.479 an injury to a s eye and a concussion. The boy's mom says he 45 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:46.159 was unconscious for two minutes and had a seizure. The federal government appears headed 46 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:50.800 for a shutdown as lawmakers have been unable to reach agreement on a spending plan. 47 00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.400 The two sides are still very far apart. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy says 48 00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.159 he does plan to bring his proposal to the floor of the House for a 49 00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.240 vote on Friday, but as of now, he still does not have the 50 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.840 votes. ABC's Rachel Scott says hard right Republicans in the House want deep cuts 51 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:08.960 and more border security. The shutdown will begin Sunday if Congress doesn't come up 52 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:13.560 with a funding plan. Federal agencies will stop all actions deemed non essential, 53 00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.639 and millions of federal employees won't be getting paid. The Army private who ran 54 00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:23.000 across the border into North Korea and then was thrown out has been returned to 55 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.480 Texas. ABC's Jim Ryan says the plane carrying Travis King arrived this morning. 56 00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.879 King's fate is unclear. The Army considered him a wall after he darted through 57 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:36.800 the demilitarized Zone into North Korea on July eighteenth. The White House said yesterday 58 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:44.600 King's return was organized with the help of Sweden and China. Kitty, a 59 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.000 ten week old kitten that caused a three car crash on the Coronado Bridge and 60 00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:50.360 San Diego, has been taken to a shelter and will be available for adoption 61 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:55.360 as soon as tomorrow. Apparently a driver stopped to try to help the kitten 62 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:59.480 yesterday on the bridge that caused a three car crash and snarled traffic for a 63 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.079 couple hour. One person was taken to the hospital, two cars had to 64 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.600 be towed off the bridge, and firefighters rescued the kitten, who was not 65 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:11.680 hurt. I think whoever adopts the kitten should name it Crash. Just a 66 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:16.800 thought. Let's stay Good morning to ABC's Alex Stones. So, Alex, 67 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:21.600 the goal was to break through gain momentum because they're all trailing in the polls 68 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:27.319 by forty points. So during the debate last night, did any of them 69 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.439 do it? I mean, did they? I think everybody The one thing 70 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.560 everybody's talking about today was the one moment where we all went, oh, 71 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:38.879 this line my wife isn't a member of the teachers union, but I gotta 72 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:43.920 admit I've been sleeping with a teacher for thirty eight years. We all looked 73 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.040 at each other in the room and went, no, Mike, you're not 74 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.519 allowed to say that. He's just not a Mike Pence thing. No, 75 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.360 out of everybody on stage, you're not the one that can say that. 76 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:56.360 No. I mean, it was a chaotic debate. Is it gonna move 77 00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.319 the needle at all and change anything? I don't think so. Yeah. 78 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.560 The thing is that Donald Trump is forty points ahead in our latest pulling to 79 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:09.000 his closest competitor being Ron De Santist, and he doesn't even have to show 80 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.079 up. After debate number one, his numbers went up and he wasn't even 81 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.879 there. So it doesn't do him any good to be there. And except 82 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.160 for Ron de Santists and Chris Christie, nobody was really willing to go after 83 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:23.040 Trump last night. They took him on. I mean, they had a 84 00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:27.800 couple of lines. You know. There was the line about Donald duck because 85 00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:31.120 of Trump ducking the debates came from Chris Christie. That was a stretch though. 86 00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.279 Yeah, I mean, it really didn't get in it before I got 87 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:36.279 it any reaction either in the room. He waited for it, and there's 88 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:41.160 a little bit like nervous laughter in the in the room. But most of 89 00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:45.839 what they were doing was going after each other. And you know, is 90 00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:49.879 that gonna do anything when the leader is who they're they're trying to go after. 91 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:56.040 You know that that's something that that's tactic for debate and whether Yeah, 92 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.680 they talked about guns, immigration, and abortion, but there were no new 93 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:01.360 rous sponsores. There was nothing there that you said, oh wow, that 94 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.560 really stands out now. And I asked a University of Michigan director of debate, 95 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:10.439 Aaron call who studies debate, he teaches debate. He's always in the 96 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.199 room with us, and I asked him, this, give me a grade 97 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:16.800 on this debate if you were giving it a letter grade A D, this 98 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:21.319 D this overall debate, I don't know. I thought the moderators let things 99 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:25.319 get out of hand. Yeah, I mean he says that the candidates want 100 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:27.160 to take on Trump. They got to take on Trump. But yes, 101 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:32.120 it is dangerous because Trump is so popular among Republican primary voters that if you 102 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.079 go against him, you know, others have seen their polling numbers take a 103 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:39.439 hit. The people are you know that the Trump supporters are appalled that you 104 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:43.560 would go after him, and then he goes after you as well and starts 105 00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.839 calling you names and whatnot. But Aaron Call is saying, going after each 106 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.399 other on that stage, that none of their numbers are high enough to matter. 107 00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:54.600 And then it's all white noise, and still the leader continues to lead. 108 00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:59.560 So he says, if they want to be the candidate for the Republican 109 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.199 Party, they got to take down the leader. And he said, every 110 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:05.079 question you need to pivot to kind of attacking him, contrasting him, and 111 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.720 realizing that he's the major enemy that all the candidates need to deal with, 112 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.399 not those fellow ones on the stage actually showing up to debating. He's still 113 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.480 the one leading by far, and so that those contrasts even more importantly than 114 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.600 the actual candidates and stage have to be with Trump, who still has a 115 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:22.160 runaway leading this racing. He says, just kind of debate one oh one 116 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:26.120 that you know, you know, the people who aren't leading, don't go 117 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.360 after each other. You go after you cut the head off of the snake 118 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.919 on this thing and try to take that spot. But Trump's team is already 119 00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:35.879 saying Amy that he will not attend the third GOP debate in November. They're 120 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.200 saying no way, and in fact they're saying, now cancel all future debates. 121 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.679 He's already won. And you know, we'll see I did. They're 122 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.759 probably going to have the debate in November. We'll see. Maybe he did 123 00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:52.320 get bated into it last night by Chris Christie and Ron De Santis. Maybe 124 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.039 we will end up showing up. But the field was so big last night, 125 00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.879 and even some were left out because the rules. The rules will tighten 126 00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.279 going into November, so probably just naturally there will be fewer people on stage, 127 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.799 but also fundraising is going to start to run out. Money is not 128 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.519 going to come in to those with extremely poll low polling numbers and on the 129 00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:16.320 fringe of the stage. Last night, the highest polling candidate is in the 130 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.159 middle and then it goes out from there. So Mike Pence on one end 131 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.679 and Doug Bergham on the other end, they're polling numbers are not great, 132 00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.919 and likely the money is going to go away as well. That donors are 133 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:28.360 going to say, why am I giving you money when you're you know, 134 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.759 not polling very well? So can they make it to November? You know, 135 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.919 then none of them are showing signs that they're getting ready to drop out, 136 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:37.679 but that may be coming. Yeah. Well, so Doug Bergham, 137 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:43.200 who is the governor of North Dakota, I think he made some good points, 138 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.919 but he's so far back and nobody's really listening to him. Like when 139 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:50.720 he said stuff, I was like, oh, yeah, that's a good 140 00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.600 point. Yeah, and nobody. Yeah, it's just not a known name 141 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.279 for most people. And he complained afterwards that he wasn't able, and it 142 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.840 did seem like it was a little unfair. At times. He would try 143 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:03.720 to jump in and they would say, Nope, we're going to shut off 144 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:05.159 your mike if you keep talking, and he was like, what the heck, 145 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.360 I'm over here, And he was like they did want to hear and 146 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.120 maybe, you know understandably so that you want to hear more from those who 147 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.120 are polling better, and that that people want to hear from Ron De Santis, 148 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:22.320 Niggi Haley, Tim Scott, the vic Ramaswamy and that those on the 149 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.000 fringes. But Mike Pence was able to speak quite a bit and and Bergham 150 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:26.919 said he just wasn't able to get it in there. You know. The 151 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:33.320 other thing in the spin room, the biggest celebrity in the spin room who 152 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.639 hadn't been up on stage debating was Governor Newson last night. And I was 153 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.840 standing there as we were all asking questions, and you know his take, 154 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:45.879 and he said that that he thinks that Ronald Reagan would have been appalled by 155 00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:48.840 what he heard last night. And you know, most of what he was 156 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.600 saying, they were the Democrat talking points and talking about Biden and everything, 157 00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.440 but talking you know, what is he doing? Is it a shadow campaign? 158 00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:58.279 Is it? What? What he is it? Now? We know 159 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:03.639 he's gonna be debate de Santists maybe in November. They've set a date to 160 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.799 do it in Georgia. But he was It was unusual to see him in 161 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:09.639 that room last night, in the spin room, in spinning, but he 162 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:15.200 was there. Yeah. So here's what I There were some interesting things, 163 00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.960 like Tim Scott surprised me last night because I liked Tim Scott and I'd like 164 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:24.919 his story, but but he just keeps repeating that story and I'm like, 165 00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:28.879 come on, you got to move past your story of your upbringing, which 166 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.080 is lovely and beautiful yeah, but you got it, and then he told 167 00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.320 it again in the interviews in the spin room afterwards. Yeah, I think, 168 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:37.679 you know, it's what he's got. It's it's the relatable you heard 169 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.120 de Santists everything was, you know, I met this person and you know 170 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.960 it's the old political Oh you know that three people came up to me this 171 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.600 week and said, wow, gas prices are high, and you know, 172 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:50.440 one's name was Judy and she told me, you know, and you wonder 173 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.320 is it really even a Judy like and like, did that really happen? 174 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:56.919 Or is this a story that's being told not just from him, but from 175 00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:01.200 every candidate who you know, tells very personal stories and so there is a 176 00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:03.919 lot of that. They're kind of crutch as everybody goes back to. And 177 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.399 for Tim Scott it seems like it's the growing up, you know, in 178 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:15.399 his childhood, and for Desantists, it's the pre rehearse stories of the person 179 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.000 that he met and what they told him, and it's all meant to relate 180 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.919 to us as we're listening to it, But you know, sometimes it's just 181 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.600 kind of oh, it's, you know the same thing we've heard over and 182 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:30.440 over. Yeah, and so you were talking about how going after Trump is 183 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.279 a dangerous proposition, but I think the VEG is doing it well. He 184 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:37.960 didn't score a lot of points when when Nicky brought up the some ties to 185 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:43.320 China. But the vegu doesn't attack Trump, he said, he kind of 186 00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.120 says we need to move on for him from him. So he doesn't like 187 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:50.919 tick off Trump supporters. Yeah, but at the same time, he also 188 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.960 seems like the biggest Trump supporter up there on stage. You know, maybe 189 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.120 is he trying to get a job maybe? Look, and I mean there's 190 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.399 a lot of support for the former press it in coming from him, and 191 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:05.519 in most of his views, they're exactly the same as the former president. 192 00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:09.480 So if you were going for the former president, if you support those views, 193 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:16.639 why would you go for Swamy versus Trump? You know, it seems 194 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.480 like it's the same person, at least views wise, So that's going to 195 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.480 be a hard distinction to make that. Yeah, you may have the same 196 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:28.200 supporter who likes both of them, wouldn't they then go with Trump instead of 197 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:33.799 him? Yeah? Overall, again, I'm mesmerized by these things. I 198 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.320 love watching them, but it was disappointing and all the just the talking over 199 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:43.559 each of wee. I was like, what you know a lot? Yeah, 200 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:48.720 it was over and over again and again that's all just bickering amongst themselves 201 00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:52.879 and not going anywhere. So here's my my, my Maldia with my last 202 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:56.519 thought, Alex, I think that they should do brackets, like an NC 203 00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:01.039 double a bracket and like one person does one debate, and whoever wins that 204 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.320 one moves on to the next one. Been who votes? How do we 205 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.480 know who won? Well, there's that I don't know. I remember a 206 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:11.679 couple of years ago, they tried to do two debates. It was back 207 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:15.919 to back nights, and that didn't really work because they had the front runners 208 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.960 and then they had the secondary ones and nobody cared about the secondary debate. 209 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.919 And then they tried to do like three hours. Last time we were at 210 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:26.759 the Reagan Library and twenty sixteen that those were three and a half hours, 211 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:30.039 and I remember those, Man, your butt hurt at the end of that. 212 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.559 It was like you had been sitting there for so long. And yeah, 213 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:35.879 so they tried to draw them out to give everybody more time, and 214 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:39.679 so they keep trying to get creative. This time they've gone back to doing 215 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:41.679 it the old way and you know, maybe that's maybe that's the best way. 216 00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:43.799 I guess. Well, were you to see it again in November? 217 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.679 Right, yep, a couple more months. We'll see if Trump shows up. 218 00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.120 All right, thanks, remember that Penn's joke? All right, how 219 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:54.759 can we forget? All right? Take care. When we come back, 220 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.600 we're gonna be talking with ABC's Crime and Terrorism analyst Brad Garrett, not about 221 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:03.080 crime and terror, but about the possible government shutdown and the tie in between 222 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:05.879 the two. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom, 223 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.480 sag After and Hollywood Studios. They're going to return to the negotiating table next 224 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.440 week. Actors have been on strike since July fourteenth. They're demanding better pay 225 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:18.200 and protections against the use of AI. House Republicans will hold the first public 226 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:24.919 hearing in their impeachment investigation of President Biden today. The Oversight Committee chairman claims 227 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:30.919 to have evidence that Biden abused his public office as Vice president and as president 228 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.840 for his family's financial gain. Illegal immigrants have been taking advantage of some construction 229 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.720 on the border wall near the Ocean and San Diego. Video shows them running 230 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.440 over a fallen chain link Finch and through a construction site right on into the 231 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.879 US at six o five. It's handled on the news. More Democrats are 232 00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:50.240 piling on for Senator Bob Menendez to quit. Bill's going to tell you what's 233 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:54.559 next for him. But right now, let's say good morning to ABC Crime 234 00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.399 and Terrorism analyst Brad Garrett. Brad, we know that if a spending plan 235 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.679 isn't passed, the government shuts down on October first. Now we think of 236 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:07.679 people who won't be working and how that could affect millions of people potentially. 237 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.039 But Brad, you say a shutdown could actually pose a threat to our safety 238 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:15.600 and even national security. So lemy, look at it this way. Let's 239 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:21.720 just use the FBI for example. Many of them would be essential employees. 240 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:25.720 They would continue to work as I have done in the past for shutdowns with 241 00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:30.360 no pay, at least temporarily. But it's the underpinning under the agents, 242 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:34.200 the support employees, the people who do surveillance, who keep tech support and 243 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:41.559 cybersecurity up. Some of them may be affected. So what I'm suggesting is 244 00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:45.679 that ripples across the government, into the military, into the intelligence community, 245 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:51.120 and if you think about the number of contractors the federal government uses at super 246 00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:57.639 sensitive levels that they may not be considered essential by some person's definition, and 247 00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:02.639 they won't be at work. They also won't get paid. You know, 248 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:07.680 the federal employees will get back paid at some point. Contractors maybe not think 249 00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:12.319 about if you're in the middle of a sensitive munition systems for the new F 250 00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:17.759 thirty five, thinking about the military national security, maybe have to stop working 251 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:22.839 on that. I mean, think about the FBI and some of the supersensitive 252 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:30.000 criminal violent cases they're working, and national security esmionas slash terrorist cases they're working. 253 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:37.119 If you start diminishing their capacity through all these support organizations and entities, 254 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:41.200 it's a huge problem. And of course the biggest one is morale. If 255 00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.319 you go from days to weeks, people are going to get upsets, They're 256 00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:49.480 going to get angry. I mean, in past shutdowns, the TSA has 257 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:56.079 had more people call in sick. It's going to slow down potentially your ability 258 00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:59.279 to get on a plane. It may slow down the number of air traffic 259 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:03.880 controllers to also slow you in getting onto a plane and leaving. So the 260 00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:11.599 ripple effect of these things and then the cost of shutting the government down and 261 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.359 then starting it back up, I mean, the Treasury Department says it costs 262 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:21.599 about twelve billion dollars for Treasury to restart the fiscal side of the government. 263 00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:27.480 If you can imagine, why don't they just up and work, Well, 264 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:30.000 you can't just show up and start work. You have to shut down all 265 00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.880 of these systems. If you're going to shut the government down, you then 266 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:37.759 have to restart all of them. You have to restart programs, you have 267 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:41.519 to restart you have to reconnect the money aspect of the government. I mean, 268 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:47.400 it is a huge, huge deal, and I don't think people really 269 00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:49.359 understand that. Yeah, and then you also said that it's going to affect 270 00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:53.160 the border patrol. You know, we've got yesterday it was eleven thousand people 271 00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:57.519 across the border and they just did a story about how they're running through a 272 00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:03.400 construction site in San Diego where they're building border wall and just running across the 273 00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:07.799 border. How does it affect border patrol? So border patrol would be considered 274 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:14.599 essential. So the border patrol agents out conducting to rest like the obviously we're 275 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:18.640 yesterday and every other day, but the support system behind them, how will 276 00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.880 it be affected the places where they house immigrants, where they process immigrants, 277 00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:26.519 where they clean. Can you imagine just keep it up with a hygiene and 278 00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:33.559 sanitation of dealing with thousands of people temporarily. I mean, it's all that 279 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.160 going to stay in place. And those are some of the lowest paying jobs 280 00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:40.440 that probably are in the Border patrol or inn the other agency, and those 281 00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:44.200 folks will live paycheck to paycheck. They may leave and go to another job. 282 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:48.400 It's because they have to survive. I mean it. It just goes 283 00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:56.000 on and on about the ripple effect. And I just don't understand why people 284 00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:00.559 I'm not talking about folks are listening to us, but politicians would even allow 285 00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:06.640 that to happen. Just get your job done, guys and gals. Right, 286 00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:08.519 well, thank you, that's it. I mean, it's it's you're 287 00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:14.200 right. I think people don't realize how far reaching it could be. And 288 00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:18.680 they've got today, tomorrow and Saturday to come up with a deal. We'll 289 00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:21.359 see, all right. Thank you so much, Brad Garrett. Always appreciate 290 00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:25.079 your insight. You're welcome to cure amy you two. Let's get back to 291 00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:26.559 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A 292 00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:30.240 man from la has pleaded guilty in Boston to federal charges of running a large 293 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:36.960 scale marriage fraud scheme that arranged hundreds of fake marriages for immigration status. He's 294 00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:40.920 the seventh person to plead guilty in the case. Prosecutors see the guy prepared 295 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.000 and submitted false petitions, applications, and other documents last year to prove the 296 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:49.119 marriages were legit. They say the man's business charged clients twenty to thirty thousand 297 00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:52.079 dollars in cash. He faces up to five years in prison and a fine 298 00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:56.720 of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Police in Baltimore have arrested the man 299 00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:03.519 they say killed a tech startup CEO. Alex Prochet from ABC says officers found 300 00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:07.599 the woman dead Monday in an apartment. They say she showed signs of blunt 301 00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.720 force trauma. A deputy US Marshall says Jason Billingsley was caught at a train 302 00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.839 station in Maryland. More details at the arrest are expected to be released later 303 00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:21.119 this morning. Police had said Billingsley was wanted for first degree murder, assault, 304 00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:25.920 reckless endangerment, and other charges. And a NASA astronaut has broken the 305 00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:30.039 record for the longest US space flight. Frank Rubio surpassed the record of three 306 00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:33.480 hundred fifty five days at the International Space Station after his capsule was hit by 307 00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:37.799 a tiny meteoroid. It had a coolant leak that required a replacement craft being 308 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:41.400 set up. That's what caused the delay. NASA's Rubio spent three hundred and 309 00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:45.000 seventy one days in orbit, setting a lot of things, including how space 310 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:51.240 flight affects the human body, both physically and psychologically. ABC Sherry Prestons's Rubio 311 00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:56.000 returned to Earth in Kazakhstan yesterday. He came back with two Russian cosmonauts who 312 00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:02.720 rocketed into space with him last September. Right now, it's time for your 313 00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:08.599 Boo preview. So what we're doing is we're going out to fun, spooky, 314 00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:15.279 haunting places around southern California as we head into Halloween. This week, 315 00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:18.759 we got to go to not Scary Farm. I got to catch up with 316 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:23.440 event producer Chris Doe, who oversees all of the scariness. So, Chris, 317 00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:27.000 when people come to Notts Scary Farm this year, what are they going 318 00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:30.759 to find? So not Scary Farm. This year, we are celebrating our 319 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:34.279 fiftieth Anniverse. We're incredibly excited about that and We have ten mazes that we 320 00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:37.440 have this year, three of them being brand new. We have some returning 321 00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.680 favorites are brand new maze that we have this year. We have Room thirteen 322 00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:45.880 that sounds scary just the name of its scary. It is a nineteen twenties 323 00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:49.240 Prohibition style of maze and it takes you through the archive hotel. Is this 324 00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:52.160 beautiful art deco hotel. You've always been told don't go to Room thirteen. 325 00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.359 So we're gonna do thirteen, you know it. So that's one of our 326 00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:00.240 brand new mazes. We also have Cinema Slasher, which is another one of 327 00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:03.039 our brand new mazes. Okay, so I have to tell you this little 328 00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:07.880 inside Baseball.

Christo, thank you so much, absolutely wonderful chatting with 391 00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:00.680 you. I'm glad you didn't scare me. I didn't, he didn't, 392 00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:04.440 But so I don't like to be scared. Nick poly o'keany, on the 393 00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:10.720 other hand, loves to be scared. And so you actually have been now 394 00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:15.839 to Not Scary Farm during the night time. We went through that maze during 395 00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:18.880 the day and that still was a little freakish to me. So what's it 396 00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:21.960 like at night? Just real quick, it's really impressive and no in really 397 00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:26.240 quick. If you're ever been to Not Scary Farm, this was where dark 398 00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:29.799 Ride used to be, and there's some homages to that, but it's really 399 00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:33.720 a lot of fun and as Amy reference, there's a lot of scary things 400 00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:36.640 with the lights on. It's even scary at night. And there's a special 401 00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:41.039 cinema monster that may be tracking you throughout so as you're pushing through the screen 402 00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:47.000 throughout the through the specific maze. So for a cinema slasher, there are 403 00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:48.599 some creatures that are tracking you throughout the park. And if you've ever been 404 00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:52.200 a ghost town, or if you want to go I get scared through the 405 00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:56.440 scare zones, ghost Town really does come alive with some very classic, you 406 00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:00.759 know, ghost town style characters that are running around. Okay, just real 407 00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:03.720 quick, tell me with the scare zones that Chris was talking about, So 408 00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.680 there are certain areas of the park where monsters just jump out at you, 409 00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:10.359 right, And so that's the whole thing. And I think the one thing 410 00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:12.480 that we didn't touch on is boo necklaces. So these are the areas, 411 00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:17.839 especially the no scare zone things, so you cannot go into amaze with these. 412 00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:19.680 But what it is is it's a fifteen dollars purchase and you can actually 413 00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:22.880 go through the scare zones and the monsters will avoid you there, but you 414 00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:26.839 can really I mean, if you have a fear of clowns. The boardwalk 415 00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:30.400 and Carn't Evil is one of the scariest places because they are just everywhere, 416 00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:34.480 so your nightmares will come alive. All right, So not Scary Farm Mine 417 00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:38.559 Mine is not Spooky Farm that opens tomorrow and then it goes through Halloween. 418 00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:44.200 And remember the Not Scary Farm is a separate, separate Tickett event only at 419 00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:48.519 night. Yes, all right, so but yeah, now go Snoopy and 420 00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:51.000 his friends all in their Halloween costumes. That's the thing that we didn't talk 421 00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:53.839 about. Super super cute. Absolutely And next week we're going to be out 422 00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:56.599 and about again. We've got another Boo preview for you. We've got some 423 00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:00.559 really cool stuff. We've we've been to Disneyland, now we've been to Not 424 00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:03.279 Scary Farm. We're going to find some maybe a little maybe off the beaten 425 00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:07.799 path or a little bit smaller kitchy events and they're really really cool for Halloween. 426 00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:11.680 So you'll want to stick around for that. Right now, let's get 427 00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:14.839 back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news 428 00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:17.920 room. The mother of a murdered La Kenny sheriff's deputy, says she was 429 00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:22.119 not pleased with the DA's handling of charges against her son's killer. Kim Clinton 430 00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:25.720 Brumer says the first time she and her family heard about George Gascone pursuing life 431 00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:30.160 without parole against Kevin Salazar was when they were standing behind Gascon at last week's 432 00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:33.960 press conference. As a taxpayer, it just seems that the district attorney wants 433 00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:38.960 to spare a life when he didn't spare my son's life. Gascon said at 434 00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:42.519 the press conference. The death penalty is not a deterrent to stopping crime, 435 00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:48.799 and going after the death penalty wouldn't have brought back her son Ryan Steve Gregory 436 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:52.759 Canfine News. Scientists at UC Irvine have analyzed smoke particles to uncover what fuels 437 00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:57.000 are contributing to the severity of wildfire. The smoke particles collected during a ninety 438 00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:02.519 acre fire in the Sequoia National Four show wildfires are being put out so fast 439 00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:07.960 now that smaller trees and plants are flourishing, causing more fire fuel Uci researcher 440 00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:11.920 Audrey Odwar says the solution is dealing with the dead trees collected over decades plus 441 00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:15.279 thinning out new plant growth. Once we cut the trees down, get them 442 00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:18.000 out of the forest, burned down the remaining fuels. In theory, that 443 00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:22.680 creates less potential for more severe wildfires. She says, the smoke particles identify 444 00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:27.200 which plants to target for wildfire fuel treatments. In Orange County, Corbin Carson, 445 00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:30.759 k if I News, and a man is recovering from a vicious attack 446 00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:34.640 by a rabid otter. Please say.

It looks like so I'm looking at 496 00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:14.199 pictures of it and it's like you said, you did a chicken in there. 497 00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:15.280 It's got a turkey in there. I mean. So it's like an 498 00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:20.239 outdoor oven, which makes cooking more fun. Yeah, it'll do. It'll 499 00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:23.480 do anything, and it holds my fear. That the reason why I never 500 00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:27.559 moved to one. I had two fears. It's going to take too long 501 00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:30.679 to heat up, and it was going to have too big of a learning 502 00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:34.440 curve and both were wrong. It heats, I can heat it up probably 503 00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:38.599 in the same amount of time I heat up my gas grill. So it's 504 00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:45.199 just it is super fun to cook on Okay, and you can come out 505 00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:50.000 and you can see Neil doing some cooking and do some tasting. And again, 506 00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:53.559 what's the address in time and stuff on Saturday? Two to five this 507 00:34:53.599 --> 00:35:00.679 Saturday, And the address is two five five five zero North the Old Road, 508 00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:04.360 and it's the barbecues Galore there. I think they have two of them, 509 00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:07.039 so make sure you go to the right one. But we'll be given 510 00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:13.039 away stuff. They'll be all kinds of cool things and special discount in store 511 00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:17.519 that I can't even give today. I love secret secrets deal. Yeah, 512 00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:22.159 so it'll be it'll be great fun. I'm only doing two of these, 513 00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:25.360 this one and then i'll do one in October in Torrance. But I'd really 514 00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:28.800 love to meet people, because I, like you said, I haven't been 515 00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:31.679 out in a while. Okay, super and Neil come back again another time. 516 00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:35.599 I know, I would love to have you come visit us.

I appreciate the I appreciate the invitation. 518 00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:42.440 I really do, my friend, Thanks Neil, thank you. Let's 519 00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:44.719 get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour 520 00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:47.679 news room. The second Republican debate's been held at the Ronald Reagan Library and 521 00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:51.920 Semi Valley. All the candidates from the first debate last month were there, 522 00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:55.360 except for former Arkansas govern Or Asa Hutchinson, who fell short of qualifying earlier 523 00:35:55.360 --> 00:35:59.000 this week. Former President Trump, of course, wasn't there. He didn't 524 00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:01.039 show up for the first debate either. He gave a speech in Detroit instead. 525 00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:06.360 The La County Board of Supervisors has approved a motion to help support the 526 00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:09.880 entertainment industry. The motion would reduce the county's barriers for developmental space, offer 527 00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:15.079 tax incentives, and provide fee waivers for low budget productions. Supervisor Katherine Barger 528 00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:20.119 proposed the motion because she says it's vital to keep the film industry in La 529 00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:24.199 We're gonna look at what we can do within the county's bureaucracy, but also 530 00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:30.199 working with our state representatives where needed. Barger says if productions aren't filmed in 531 00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:32.679 La County, she doesn't want it to be because of financial burdens. The 532 00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:37.719 board unanimously passed the motion Tuesday, Chris Adler ka FI News, and as 533 00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:42.199 we close out wake Up Call, want to leave you with one thing before 534 00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:45.880 we head into handle in the news, and that is too bad, Senator 535 00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:52.360 John Fennerman. So the Senate unanimously yesterday passed a formal dress code requiring business 536 00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:57.519 attire on the chamber floor, including a coat, tie and slax. Four 537 00:36:57.559 --> 00:37:00.559 men all. Poor John Federman. He can't show up in his hoodie and 538 00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:05.920 shorts like he did when he met the head of Ukraine last week. So 539 00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:14.760 they introduced a plan to in to put the formal dress policy in place. 540 00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:17.280 I think it's ridiculous that they had to do it in the first place. 541 00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:22.199 But Senator Romney, set of senators, we should demonstrate a high level of 542 00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:25.760 reverence for the institution in which we serve, and our attire is one of 543 00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:31.599 the most basic expressions of that respect. I agree. This is KFI and 544 00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:37.639 kost HD to Los Angeles, Orange County live from the KFI twenty four hour 545 00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:42.239 newsroom. I'm Amy King.
