00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.839
You're listening to KFI AM six forty
wake Up Call with me Amy King on

2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:16.920
demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI and
KOST HD two Los Angeles, Orange County.

3
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:31.320
It's time for your morning wake up
call. Here's Amy King. It

4
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.320
is five o'clock, straight up.
This is your wake up call for Tuesday,

5
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:39.479
October seventeenth. I'm Amy King.
Let's see October seventeenth. That means

6
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:44.159
fourteen days until Halloween. Ooh,
two weeks till Halloween. I want to

7
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:47.679
say a quick thanks to Chris Little, our fearless leader, for taking the

8
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.600
reins of wake up call yesterday because
I had to Ugie Boogie got to go

9
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:55.119
to Disneyland for the Ugi Boogie Bash, which, as you may or may

10
00:00:55.159 --> 00:01:00.920
not know, is an after ours, separate ticketed event at Disney California Adventure

11
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:04.400
and it sells out every year.
But thanks to my buddy Nick Pola Jochini,

12
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:08.840
we got tickets this year and we
went and it was a hoot,

13
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.280
and I got to tell you it
was very cool because you know, it

14
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:18.280
actually brought back memories of my childhood
when you used to go which you don't

15
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.040
do anymore, but when you used
to go door to door to door all

16
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:25.120
around your neighborhood where your parents would
go drop you off in the nice neighborhoods

17
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.239
so you could trick or treat.
And there was just tons and tons of

18
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.239
people out and about and everybody's dressed
up and having a good time in trick

19
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.840
or treating. Well that's what they
were doing at Disneyland, although it was

20
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.400
a lot more adults. I mean, there was a lot of kids there,

21
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.000
but there was a ton of adults
and everybody was dressed up and having

22
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:45.280
fun. There were lots of Alice
in Wonderland groups, which was interesting.

23
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:49.879
I went as a Cheshire Cat there. There was a lot of beetlejuice,

24
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:56.560
saw some Flintstones, there were some
Sanderson's Sisters, hocus Pocus, lots of

25
00:01:56.560 --> 00:02:01.280
Oogie boogies. So it was really
really cool though to see everybody dressed up

26
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:05.799
in some people. There was some
cocoas and that kind of stuff. Lots

27
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.400
of Disney stuff, but a lot
of not Disney stuff too, and it

28
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:13.560
was just fun to see everybody dressed
up and having a good time. So

29
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.400
we'll let you know next year when
Ugi Boogie Bash is coming up, because

30
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:20.120
it does sell out every year,
so you got to jump on it if

31
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.360
you want tickets. Here's what's ahead
on wake up call this morning. Israel

32
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:28.639
has bombed areas of southern Gaza,
where it had told Palestinians to flee to

33
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:34.000
ahead of an expected invasion. Dozens
of people were killed. Attacks along Israel's

34
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:39.000
northern border with Lebanon also led to
concerns over a widening regional conflict that diplomats

35
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:44.680
are working to prevent. The US
and Israel are putting together a plan to

36
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:50.520
provide humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza. Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln says it's

37
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:55.639
critical aid gets to Gaza soon.
President Biden is heading to Israel tomorrow.

38
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:01.159
The Cowboys rallied in the fourth quarter
Darn It to the Chargers twenty seventeen in

39
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.520
Monday night football action at six oh
five, it's handle on the news.

40
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:08.039
LA Mayor Baths and other city officials
are in Washington, d C. Bill's

41
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:13.000
going to let you know why they're
there and what they want. Let's get

42
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.719
started with some of the stories coming
out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

43
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:20.439
About two thousand US troops have been
given prepare to deploy orders. A

44
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:24.680
defense official says they won't necessarily go
to Israel or Gaza. They'll be going

45
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:30.159
to a nearby country to get ready
to support Israel in the war against Hamas

46
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:35.039
Hamas. Those who got the orders
were on a six ninety six hour prepared

47
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.439
to deploy status, which has now
been shortened to twenty four hours. As

48
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:42.360
I mentioned, President Biden is headed
to Israel. He is expected to make

49
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:46.840
the trip tomorrow. Secretary of State
Anthony Blincoln announced Biden's plans yesterday, saying

50
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:52.360
he will make it clear the US
stands behind its ally amid the ongoing war

51
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.159
with Hamas. President We'll hear from
Israel what it needs to defend his people

52
00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:00.240
as we continue to work with Congress
to meet those needs. B Lincoln says.

53
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.960
Biden will also warn against anyone trying
to take advantage of the crisis to

54
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:09.479
attack Israel. Biden's going to travel
to Jordan afterwards to meet with Arab leaders,

55
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:14.960
including Palestinian President mak muk Abbas.
The Israel Hamas war has become a

56
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.439
major topic in the Republican presidential primary
race, mainly whether or not the US

57
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:24.800
should accept refugees from Gaza. Florida
Governor Ronda Santis says he's against it.

58
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:28.680
If you look at how they behave. Not all of them are Hamas,

59
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.839
but they are all anti Semitic.
None of them believe in Israel's right to

60
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:39.160
exist. Minnesota's A G. Keith
Ellison, the first Muslim lawmaker in Congress,

61
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.800
says the US needs to be accommodating. Most people who live in Gaza

62
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.600
are under eighteen years old. You
know, this is very important for people

63
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.240
to understand. The United States cannot
close US doors. The next Republican presidential

64
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:56.120
debate is November eighth in Miami.
A votes expected in the House to try

65
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:00.639
to elect a new speaker. Judiciary
Committee chairman Jim Jordan as won the support

66
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.399
of several previously skeptical Republicans, but
it's still not clear if he has enough

67
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:08.439
votes today to win. Jordan says
the only way to get it done is

68
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.519
the way the founders intended. With
a floor vote. You can open the

69
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.800
House and do the work of the
American people and help our dearest and closest

70
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.519
friend, Israel. If you don't
have a speaker. Kevin McCarthy was ousted

71
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:23.079
from the position two weeks ago.
The House has been unable to pass legislation

72
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:29.160
while the job's been vacant. Let's
say good morning now to ABC's Stephen portnoy

73
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:31.800
Is. Stephen, President Trump has
been gagged by a judge. So what

74
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.319
did the judge rule and how will
this or could this affect him on the

75
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:40.759
campaign trail. Well, the judge
made it clear yesterday that as a criminal

76
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:45.639
defendant, Donald Trump does not have
unfettered First Amendment rights, that he has

77
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:49.560
to abide by her orders and has
to understand that he has some restrictions on

78
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:55.839
his freedoms, and in particular,
what he might say that might affect the

79
00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:00.360
fair administration of justice. And the
gaggoter really touches on two things. One

80
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:04.199
any statements the former president might make
about witnesses in the case. And two

81
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:09.959
any statements he might make that would
target either the prosecutor, whom he's called

82
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:14.560
deranged and a thug, a special
counsel Jack Smith, or members of the

83
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:17.560
court staff. And she made a
note of the fact that last week in

84
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.720
New York, or in the last
couple of weeks in New York, there

85
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:26.720
was a Trump social media post that
the judge in the New York Case civil

86
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.959
case ordered him to take down because
it was a picture of the court clerk

87
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:38.720
tying her to Chuck Schumer and her
politics, and ultimately, Judge Tanya Chukins

88
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:41.959
said that she didn't want to see
that sort of thing happen in her courtroom

89
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.680
in her case. And so,
look, these are restrictions on the speech

90
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.959
of the leading Republican candidate for president
of the United States. Donald Trump,

91
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:55.120
appearing yesterday in Iowa, said he
will appeal. He sees it as unconstitutional.

92
00:06:55.480 --> 00:07:01.439
But Judge Chuckkin's argument, forcefully against
the argument that was made by Trump

93
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:05.279
attorney John Lauro, was that Donald
Trump stands before her as a defendant in

94
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:11.000
a criminal case facing four felony counts, and that no criminal defendant would be

95
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:14.959
able to call a prosecutor a thug
and expect to be able to get away

96
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:18.399
with it. He's not having any
luck with this judge. Well, she

97
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:23.519
listen, she is holding the line. And while she was able to,

98
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.199
for you know, give a bit
of leniency, she made a point of

99
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:30.920
that too. You know. She
noted yesterday that while the hearing was taking

100
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:38.319
place, she waived Trump's requirement that
he'd be there. She allowed him essentially

101
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:43.040
to continue campaigning in Iowa. She
did not say that she would restrict his

102
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:47.120
speech about President Biden or criticizing the
Justice Department. She said he can even

103
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:51.120
say that the case being brought against
him is politically motivated. She said that

104
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:57.240
he can criticize Mike Pence basically on
his policy positions, but he can't talk

105
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:01.560
about Pence as a witness in the
case or have anything to do with what

106
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.920
it is that Pence is going to
testify about, which is the pressure that

107
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.439
Trump applied on him in the lead
up to January sixth. Okay, so

108
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.920
I would imagine they're going to be
watching him like a hawk. So if

109
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:16.560
he decides to kind of blow off
the gag order or tap dance around it,

110
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.800
what could happen to him? Well, possible sanctions, this is all

111
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.720
theoretical, would arrange everything from a
reprimand to some you know things. For

112
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.959
example, no longer waiving the requirement
that he sit in attendance at some of

113
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.879
these hearings that are going to be
held on various motions. She could compel

114
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.039
him to sit in the courtroom.
She could move up the trial date.

115
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.480
Ultimately, she could hold him in
contempt of court. What does that mean

116
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:46.120
potentially finds maybe even jail time.
Oh my gosh, it just gets It's

117
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.960
just such an upseea down sea topsy
turvy world. I know you got to

118
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.080
go. We were going to talk
about the vote on the House floor today,

119
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.120
which is hopefully going to happen,
and then I guess we'll maybe be

120
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.919
talking about it to that sounds good. All right, Thanks so much,

121
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:05.440
Steven, appreciate your time. Let's
get back to some of the stories coming

122
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.879
out of the KFI twenty four hour
newsroom. Dozens of Israeli soldiers and civilians,

123
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.840
including women and children, are being
held hostage by Hamas inside Goza.

124
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.679
We've been telling you that for the
past almost two weeks. ABC's Steve Ganyard,

125
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:22.080
who served in the Departments of State
and Defense, says Hamas has had

126
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.440
years to dig underground tunnels because they've
had to stay out of Israel site.

127
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.559
He says it's likely that's where they're
keeping the hostages. So it's very,

128
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.679
very tough to these relative crack from
an intelligence perspective, and it's why they

129
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.480
will have to put troops on the
ground. Hamas claims it has at least

130
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:43.080
two hundred to two hundred and fifty
hostages. Officials in Israel say more than

131
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:48.120
fourteen hundred Israelis have been killed since
the war began. The death toll between

132
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:52.879
both the Israelis and Palestinians is now
up over four thousand. Governor Newsom has

133
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:58.279
signed a bill expanding a ban on
the use of certain types of rat poisons.

134
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.799
The rat poisons contain ca chemicals that
have killed a lot more than rodents

135
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.519
animals that eat to target animals like
bobcats. Mod Alliance Coyotes records birds of

136
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:13.720
prey affects their life and their reproduction, and their ability to haunt and put

137
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:18.320
them in bad shape. The BAILL
bands the use of first generation coagulant rat

138
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:22.720
poisons developed before nineteen seventy. In
twenty twenty, a mountain lion and bobcat

139
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.240
died from the direct effects of the
anti coagulant that they ate in north Ridge

140
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:30.399
and a Gore Hills. The most
famous mountain lion in the Southland p.

141
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.720
Twenty two, who passed away last
year, was treated for rat poisoning at

142
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:39.200
one point, but he survived.
Irvine has broken ground on a one hundred

143
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.799
and fifty bed mental health and substance
abuse clinic. This will be the second

144
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.240
such clinic for Orange County you will
Ohs. The interim CEO, RICKA.

145
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.200
Foble, says, both clinics offer
crisis services and residential treatment options for families

146
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.440
of people in crisis instead of just
the emergency room or jail. Irvine campus

147
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.600
will expand on the services offered at
the Orange campus by expanding capacity, but

148
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:05.360
we will also offer new services focused
on substance use treatment for adolescents and Perry

149
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.240
natal services for women and young children. The clinic is scheduled to open in

150
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.399
twenty twenty five in Irvine Corbin Cars
n KFI News. Three people have been

151
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.279
killed in a shooting outside of Pizza
Place in North Hollywood. Police say three

152
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.440
to four men drove up in a
silver car last night and fired into another

153
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.399
car at Lancasham and Moore Park.
One person died at the scene. Two

154
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:30.240
others drove themselves to the hospital,
where they also died. A jury in

155
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:33.039
La has awarded more than thirteen million
dollars to the daughter of a man who

156
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:37.200
died in Van Eys in twenty nineteen. While in police custody. Footage shows

157
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.159
the man sitting on a curb at
a gas station, putting his hands behind

158
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:46.159
his back before LAPED officers approach him. Attorney Dale Galipo says the officers pinned

159
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:48.960
the man down and kneeled on his
back until he fell unconscious. Officers don't

160
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.000
lose their jobs, they don't get
demoted, they don't pay a dollar out

161
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.919
of their pockets, and it's business
as usual. Gallipo says. The city

162
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:01.519
and LAPD found the protocol to be
with it policy and forced the case to

163
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.440
trial. Attorneys for the man's daughter
say the man died from asphyxia, while

164
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:13.440
the medical examiner ruled the death unspecified. Chris Adler kf I News. At

165
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:18.799
least five adults have gotten into an
all out, dragged down fist fight inside

166
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:24.759
Fantasyland at Disneyland. The fight Sunday
was near the Storybook Land canal boats and

167
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:31.519
the Mad Tea Party rides. Video
shows people hitting each other and bumping into

168
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.279
an empty baby stroller. The theme
park says the group was immediately removed and

169
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:37.879
no injuries were reported. I think
that happened before I got there, Thank

170
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.879
goodness. I hate all these fights
that are breaking out at theme parks.

171
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:46.480
Hey, this song might drive you
crazy, but people must still want to

172
00:12:46.480 --> 00:13:03.720
hear it too soon? Yeah,
well, Mariah Carey is extending her Christmas

173
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.919
Day at the Hollywood Bowl. She's
added a second show. The first show

174
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:13.480
on November seventeenth sold out in just
minutes. Fans started saying, we need

175
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.679
another one, and they announced that
a second show has been added. It's

176
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.159
on November nineteenth that the Hollywood Bowl. If you haven't been to the Bowl,

177
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:24.720
it is the best place ever to
see a show. It's just fantastic.

178
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:31.679
But let's see The American Express Early
Access tickets go on sale starting at

179
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.720
ten o'clock this morning on AmericanExpress dot
com. Then the Live Nation presale starts

180
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:41.000
Thursday. The Ticketmaster pre sales starts
Thursday, and tickets for the general public

181
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:46.399
go on sale Friday at ten am
at livenation dot com. She is one

182
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:48.840
heck of a singer. I know
that's something dumb to say. I mean,

183
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.279
she's just so amazing. A vote
for the new Speaker of the House

184
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:56.519
is scheduled for today. Jim Jordan
is the nominee. Not clear if he

185
00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:58.840
can get the votes needed. He
can only lose four Republican votes to get

186
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:03.440
the two seventeen needed to be elected. Since there's no indication any Democrats are

187
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:09.720
going to vote for him. Several
schools evacuated their campuses after getting an email

188
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.720
bomb threat. The least say it
was part of a wave of spam emails

189
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:18.440
that originated overseas and were sent to
hundreds of campuses. It was deemed not

190
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.679
credible, but still affected Catholic and
private schools in La Puente, Laverne,

191
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.919
and Claremont. Yesterday, if you
missed the extended deadline to file your twenty

192
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:30.919
twenty two taxes, well you can
take a little breath because you still have

193
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:35.000
time. The IRS kind of made
a surprise announcement yesterday and said the October

194
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:41.799
sixteenth deadline was being now extended to
November sixteenth. The deadline was extended already

195
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:46.519
four fifty five of California's fifty eight
counties because of last winter storms. At

196
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.840
six h five, it's handle on
the news. President Trump has a new

197
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:52.919
gag order. What it means and
whether he will adhere to it, that's

198
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.720
coming up right now. Though.
Let's say good morning to the host of

199
00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:01.440
How to Money on KFI, our
financial whiz Lars Guard. Good morning Joel,

200
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:03.799
Good morning Amy. Hey, holiday
spending is about to kick into high

201
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:09.840
gear. What's the and I'm realizing
that because I just saw a post on

202
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.399
social media. It was Elf,
one of my favorite movies, and he

203
00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:18.240
said ten weeks until Christmas. How
did that happen? So what is the

204
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:22.399
holiday spending season sort of shaping up
to be? Well, it feels like

205
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:26.799
twenty twenty three flew by. I'm
surprised to be talking about holiday spending already,

206
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.320
but it's where we are. It's
crazy to think that it's mid October

207
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:35.399
and you know, Christmas and the
holiday season is really just a couple of

208
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:39.679
months away. And there was some
new holiday shopping data that came out and

209
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:46.639
it was talking about how much consumers
expect to spend, and especially younger consumers

210
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:50.080
millennials and gen zers, they're planning
on increasing their spending in the fourteen to

211
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:54.279
fifteen percent range this year. That's
a lot. That is a lot.

212
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:56.200
That's a that's expecting to spend a
lot more than you spent last year.

213
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.159
It's not just a five or six
percent bump. It's not just keeping up

214
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.120
with inflation. It's like, no, I think I'm going to like splurge

215
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:06.799
a little bit more spend on my
friends and family, And I think that's

216
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:11.639
kind of the mentality that consumers are
in right now. It does worry me

217
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.080
though, because it's not necessarily like
we have as much cash as as maybe

218
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:21.120
we had this time last year.
So it concerns me that people are thinking,

219
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:23.120
oh, I'm going to spend in
a bigger way, but I don't

220
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:27.080
necessarily have the actual cash on hand
to be able to pay for those items.

221
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:32.720
I wonder if it's a pre pandemic
knee jerk reaction or a post pandemic

222
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:36.240
jerk, or a knee jerk reaction, you know, like because we were

223
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:38.559
saving and saving and now people are
like, hey, that's ridiculous. Now

224
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:41.399
we can be out and about,
let's spend. I think there's some of

225
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:45.399
that. I mean, I think
that's what the revenge travel sort of the

226
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:47.960
phenomenon is all about. It was
like, Oh, I couldn't travel for

227
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:49.840
so long, so I'm just gonna
go. I'm gonna double down now that

228
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:55.000
I can. And so I definitely
think there's something to that. The problem

229
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:56.919
is for so many people that they're
going to wake up, and this happens

230
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:00.159
every year. I get phone calls
every single year from people in January and

231
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.639
they're like, my credit card bills
out of control, and it's going to

232
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:06.680
take me months to pay this thing
off, And so I just want people

233
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:08.599
to be careful on the front end. If you want to increase your spending

234
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:11.640
and you have the cash to be
able to do so, that's one thing.

235
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:17.160
But start budgeting now, thinking ahead
about like who am I actually buying

236
00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:19.880
for how much money am I going
to dedicate to spending on each of those

237
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:23.079
people? And it now's a great
time to have a conversation as well to

238
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:26.960
say, you know what, I
actually don't have the money to spend on

239
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.839
Aunt, Susie or whatever lover.
I'll make her a great card, maybe

240
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:34.440
even homemade, but it's gonna be
one of those things where I'm not spending

241
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:38.240
as much on certain segments of the
family. And you could have that conversation

242
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:41.799
now and say, hey, listen, if I start, I would actually

243
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:44.440
be going into debt. I'd be
missing out on some of my other money

244
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:47.319
goals. And I know that that
feels like a weird, awkward thing to

245
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:51.279
say, but it helps jump start
a conversation, and I think it's actually

246
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:53.359
a really good healing thing for your
family to be able to be honest with

247
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:59.279
them and say it's probably not a
good idea for me to go into tons

248
00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:03.680
of debt to fuel this consumption oriented
holiday season. I'm gonna have to take

249
00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:07.319
a step back from that. And
it doesn't mean that I'm not here for

250
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:10.720
all the family gatherings and the pot
lucks and the turkey all that kind of

251
00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:12.039
stuff. I'm here for all that
stuff, but I just have to dial

252
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:17.119
it back on the spending. Yeah, And normally I'm a don't start with

253
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:19.359
the next with the holiday until the
last one is over, Like you know,

254
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:26.559
no Christmas before Halloween, Christmas before
Thanksgiving too. But I'm usually one

255
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:29.440
at a time holiday. But in
this in this instance, I think that

256
00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:33.319
is a good thing to start thinking
about, Like maybe have those conversations.

257
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:37.680
I would tell you our family has
had those conversations in the past, and

258
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:42.240
then we we ignore ourselves. You
just don't follow through. You keep buying

259
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:45.200
like as you're going to. Yeah, we go, oh, let's cut

260
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.559
back this Christmas. We have a
small family, like a tech nanit family,

261
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:52.680
and so we tend to overdo it
just for each other. And yeah,

262
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:57.440
maybe we'll have that conversation again this
year. So there's people are spending

263
00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:02.920
money that they might don't necessarily have
and so there's sort of it's sort of

264
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:04.640
like the new layaway, right,
the buy now, pay later thing.

265
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.279
Oh yeah, buy Now, Pay
Later has now been around for a number

266
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:14.319
of years. It's something I've not
really been a fan of since its inception

267
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:18.599
at basically letting people it is kind
of like the new layaway, but it's

268
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:22.480
different in one specific way. It's
it's lay away was one thing because you

269
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:26.160
were you were leaving the item with
the retailer and you were going back to

270
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:29.960
pay that item off, and then
once you paid the item off, you

271
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:32.519
were able to take that item home
with you. But with buy Now,

272
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:36.680
Pay Later, you get the sweet
sweet reward of getting the item shipped to

273
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:41.160
you immediately and you're paying it off
over time, and so it's kind of

274
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:45.319
like the reward is already there without
having paid the cost. And there's some

275
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:49.559
new data out that talks from the
New York Fed and they found that a

276
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:53.319
lot of buy Now, Pay Later
users are financially fragile. And it's not

277
00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:57.119
even because the people who it basically
means like, it's not because they're not

278
00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:02.279
making enough money. The folks really
do have a reasonable income. A lot

279
00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:04.519
of the folks who use buy now, pay later. But they're living paycheck

280
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:10.519
to paycheck anyway. So they might
have a six figure salary, but at

281
00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:11.920
the end of the day, they're
still turning to buy now, pay later

282
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:17.240
to buy things that they can't actually
afford, and so it perpetuates a cycle

283
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:18.839
and maybe you forget, oh yeah, still have two payments left on those

284
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.359
jeans, I'm gonna go ahead and
buy the sweater, or I'm gonna buy

285
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:25.920
this airline ticket and put it on
BNPL. And because of that, you

286
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:29.839
end up having too many payments and
your money's going in so many different directions.

287
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:33.480
I would rather see people pay for
the whole price of something upfront and

288
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:36.400
if they can't afford it, wait
and buy now, pay later. It's

289
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:38.759
just this behavioral slippery slope for people. It's not even that the terms are

290
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:44.160
all that bad or anything like that. I don't it's the behavioral element that

291
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.599
causes people to think that they can
afford something or or it pushes them to

292
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:51.960
buy something that otherwise they might avoid. And we see this in the research

293
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:55.039
that people are if you're using buy
now, pay later, the cart size

294
00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:56.799
is bigger, so people are shoving
more things into their car, saying you

295
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.880
know what, I can add more
and more to this order because I'm not

296
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:03.640
gonna have to pay for it and
full. I'm paying in for easy installments.

297
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:07.359
And that is a slippery slope too, and it's going to leave you,

298
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:11.200
I think, regretfully having bought a
bunch of things that you could have

299
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:14.799
done without. It sounds too.
So it's like a credit card without using

300
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:17.160
the credit cards. So you're like, oh, I'm not using my credit

301
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:21.720
card. Yeah, I mean basically, and credit cards to me are different.

302
00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:23.119
I think of credit cards is very
different than by now, pay later.

303
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:26.519
There's a little bit of that element. But the truth is credit cards

304
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:33.559
come with a bunch of protections for
consumers and there are rewards attached to them

305
00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:38.119
as well. And yes, there
is a certain element of not having to

306
00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:41.160
pay the full bill right at the
time, because you know you're going to

307
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:45.960
pay the statement balance at the in
full at the end when you get it.

308
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:48.240
But it's so it's different to me
than buy now, pay later,

309
00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:53.640
and I but the credit card comes
with other benefits that make them make them

310
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:56.519
make a lot of sense in my
mind. But by now, pay later,

311
00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:00.799
because it's that payment buyer mindset that
we so easy, we get into

312
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.599
as Americans. I mean, it's
we're not thinking about the total cost of

313
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.000
ownership of almost anything these days.
It's always about well, how many payments

314
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:10.759
for how long and how much are
those payments going to be. That's the

315
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:14.640
wrong mindset if you want to make
you know, progress with your personal finances.

316
00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:18.759
Okay, so B and pl those
are the new letters to watch out

317
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:22.440
for. Oh yeah, it's a
firm Klarna. After pay those guys,

318
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:25.519
you're gonna be You're gonna be inundated
at checkout this season? Do you want

319
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:27.240
to pay for it? And for
easy installments? And it sounds so good,

320
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:33.079
it sounds like you definitely want that, but in reality, it's you're

321
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:36.680
going to be paying for those things
well into twenty twenty four, and that

322
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:42.480
is not what you want. Caveat
empdoor, right, do what caveat empdoor?

323
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:48.400
Let the buyer beware, Yes,
exactly, exactly beware. Joel Larsguard

324
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.880
How to Money with Joel Larsguard Sunday's
noon to two right here on KFI.

325
00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:56.200
And if they want to follow you
you on social it's at how to Money

326
00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:59.799
Joel. Right, that's right,
all right, thank you, we'll talk

327
00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:02.880
to you again next week. Always
love our talks sounds good. Thanks Amy,

328
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:06.000
Thanks Joel. A federal jury is
awarded thirteen and a half million dollars

329
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:08.240
in damages to the family of a
man who died four years ago after two

330
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:12.519
laped officers threw him to the ground
and put their full body weight on him,

331
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:15.640
even though it was determined he had
not broken the law. The US

332
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:21.079
and Israel are putting together a plan
to provide a humanitarian aid to civilians in

333
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:26.160
Gaza. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken
says it's critical aid gets into Gaza soon.

334
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:30.519
President Biden is heading to Israel tomorrow. The Cowboys rallied in the fourth

335
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:36.319
quarter and beat the Chargers last night, twenty to seventeen in Monday Night Football

336
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:38.880
Action. Darn it. Then at
six oh five, it's handle on the

337
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:42.799
news as Israel gets closer to launching
its ground assault on Gaza. Hamas has

338
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:47.400
released video of one of its hostages, a twenty one year old woman.

339
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:49.079
At five point fifty, We're going
to be talking with Megan clink with the

340
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:55.359
Susan G. Coleman Foundation about the
la more than Pink Walk happening this Breast

341
00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:59.400
cancer Awareness month, So stay tuned
for that right now, Let's say good

342
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:03.880
morning to ab Jordana Miller in Jerusalem. Jordana ground ass all could happen at

343
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:10.160
any minute. What's the feeling in
Israel. Well, the feeling it's real,

344
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:14.400
is that you know, the country
is gearing up for war. But

345
00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:18.599
the news that President Biden will be
here tomorrow, I think is bringing some

346
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:25.640
sense of calm, perhaps before the
storm, but a sense that, okay,

347
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:30.559
we have another twenty four hours or
forty eight hours until the massive assault

348
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:36.640
that the Idea of said in the
statement it was going to carry out in

349
00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:44.079
northern Gaza, focused on Gaza City. Civilians in the Palate and in Gaza

350
00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:48.480
are continuing to move south. According
to Israel, about six hundred thousand are

351
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:55.440
on the go, but they are
pouring into southern Gaza, you know,

352
00:24:56.319 --> 00:25:00.440
into a small place that's already dense
and cramped, and it's clear that tens

353
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:04.240
of thousands of civilians will not make
it out of Gaza City before the assault,

354
00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:10.640
and that will leave many people the
sick, disabled, you know,

355
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:15.680
the elderly and poor people who simply
can't move south and leave them vulnerable in

356
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:21.720
the middle of this war. So
that is that is upsetting still the border

357
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:26.880
between Egypt and the Gaza Strip remains
closed, even though we have reporters.

358
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:30.480
You know, ABC has reporters in
Egypt, and we know there are trucks

359
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:34.480
and convoys they're waiting to get in. They have not gotten in yet,

360
00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:41.599
and that's for various reasons. We
know the United States is trying to figure

361
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:45.920
out a mechanism by which that both
that aid could come in, perhaps be

362
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:52.799
inspected for any arms, and then
some kind of supervision when it is distributed

363
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.480
so that it doesn't get into the
hands of Hamas. Okay, and we

364
00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:03.160
had reports that there was some shelling
in to southern Gaza today where Israel's telling

365
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:06.920
people to go, what's going on
with that? Have you heard of that?

366
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:14.480
There have been some strikes in southern
Gaza and along the Rasa border club

367
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:19.799
crossing the exact crossing that remains closed. We asked the army about that earlier

368
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:26.440
today and they said that was because
there were Hamas operatives in that area.

369
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:32.200
The Israeli army says it's hitting you
know Hama's targets based on intel. Now,

370
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:36.480
so it was a few days ago
that Israel said, okay, you

371
00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:38.160
got twenty four hours to get out, and like you're saying, there are

372
00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:44.440
people that just can't get out or
it's taking them longer. Did Israel possibly

373
00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:48.559
postpone because of that to give them
more time? I know that they said,

374
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:52.799
oh, bad weather, we're going
to have to push back the invasion.

375
00:26:53.680 --> 00:26:59.319
Oh, there's no doubt that one
big factor in holding off on the

376
00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:06.200
ground incursion and the massive assault is
connected to the civilian population in the Gaza

377
00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:12.480
strip. Israel wants to see as
many civilians, innocent civilians that also you

378
00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:18.240
know, are victims of Hamas and
do not support Hamas. They want to

379
00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:23.240
help those people get south, where
as before they really go in on the

380
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:29.079
ground, you know, in the
north. That is absolutely one major consideration.

381
00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:32.799
Okay, is there a sense of
frustration? I mean, like the

382
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:37.920
people who live in Israel are having
to deal with so much after the horrific

383
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:41.920
attacks and they're still kind of reeling
from that. But from around the world

384
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:45.480
you're hearing, oh, we need
we need to cease fire, or we

385
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:52.640
need to stop the attacks on the
innocence in Palestine or in Gaza. Sorry,

386
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:59.839
but is it do they get the
feeling that people are forgetting how horrific

387
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:04.240
what happened to Israel was only you
know, a week and a half ago,

388
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:12.319
right. I can tell you the
Israeli public is firmly behind the war

389
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:18.920
against Hamas. They support the objectives
of getting Hamas out of the Gaza Strip,

390
00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:23.880
even if that means it's a one
or two or three month ground incursion

391
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:36.319
where Israeli soldiers will die. They
the horrifying evidence now that Hamas terrorists hunted

392
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:42.359
down Jews in the south of Israel, in their homes, in their cars,

393
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:48.440
on the streets, you know,
breaking down the doors of their safe

394
00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:53.480
rooms, killing parents in front of
children, killing pregnant women, killing babies.

395
00:28:55.160 --> 00:29:00.359
This has triggered something so deep in
the Israeli and really Jewish psyche that

396
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:04.880
no one here on the ground opposes
there. I mean, it would be

397
00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:11.440
a handful of people that oppose this
mission, this aim to get Hamas out

398
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:18.079
of the Gaza Strip. And you
see the civilian population mobilizing tremendously, helping

399
00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:22.279
to buy anything, you know,
fill in the gaps for soldiers, cooking,

400
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.480
taking in families, raising money,
even setting up their own center to

401
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:30.960
help locate hostages. Right, some
of the real tech whizzes coming in on

402
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:34.920
their own time to do that so
the country. It took a huge hit,

403
00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:40.640
but they are now firmly behind the
mission. Okay, Well, thank

404
00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:45.559
you for letting us know what's going
on inside Israel and for your continued reports,

405
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:48.240
and we do hope for your continued
safety, Jeordiana, and we'll look

406
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:52.400
forward to talking to you again soon. Thank you so much. Thank you.

407
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:55.880
Let's get back to some of the
stories coming out of the KFI twenty

408
00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:59.960
four hour newsroom. Several Hollywood unions
have demanded the major studios get back to

409
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.759
the bargaining table with actors. The
AMPTP suspended talks last week, saying the

410
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:08.880
gap between actors and production companies is
just still too big. Actors had been

411
00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:14.119
negotiating with the studios for nearly two
weeks before the talks broke down. Actors

412
00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:17.599
say they will stay on the picket
lines until they get a deal tailored to

413
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:22.759
their needs. A six year old
Muslim boy murdered by his family's landlord near

414
00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:27.039
Chicago's been buried. Mourner's yesterday remembered
the boy as kind and energetic. His

415
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:32.359
murder is being investigated as a hate
crime. ABC'SPR Thomas's. The boy's mother

416
00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:36.519
was also stabbed by the Landlord on
Saturday, but survived. Authorities claim the

417
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:40.440
seventy one year old Air Force veteran
attacked them because the child and his mother

418
00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:45.200
are Muslim and because of hatred Todd
to the Israeli Hamas War. The boy

419
00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:49.359
was stabbed twenty six times. The
mother remains in critical condition. A proposal

420
00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:55.400
for a library review board in Huntington
Beach is about open access to books versus

421
00:30:55.480 --> 00:31:00.240
keeping sexually explicit books away from kids. They are looking at something that's more

422
00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:03.759
of a culture war attack than something
that is real. Friends of Huntington Beach

423
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:08.160
Library Board member Carol Dawes says this
is a political non issue. All those

424
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:12.599
books the Crucible to Kill a Mockingbird
will be taken out of the young adult

425
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:17.680
section. Mayor pro Tim Gracie Vandermark
says the review board would decide if explicit

426
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:21.319
books on gender and sexuality with pictures
should be moved from the kids section.

427
00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:23.680
If we repeat every detail on the
radio, you couldn't play it, but

428
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:26.599
it's okay for our children. She
says. It's about protecting kids, not

429
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:30.400
banning books. In Huntington Beach.
Corbin Carson k if I News, I'll

430
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:34.039
vote for a new Speaker of the
House is scheduled for today. Jim Jordan

431
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:37.359
is the nominee. It's not clear
if he can get the votes he needs.

432
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:41.599
He can only lose four Republican votes
to get to the two seventeen needed

433
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.359
to be elected. Three people have
been killed in a car to car shooting

434
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:48.759
in North Hollywood. Police say the
shooting happened last night outside a restaurant.

435
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:53.599
LAPD is looking for for Hispanic men
who left the scene in a silver sedan.

436
00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:59.519
If you miss the deadline to file
your twenty twenty two taxes, you

437
00:31:59.559 --> 00:32:02.079
can take little breather. You still
have time. The IRS made a surprise

438
00:32:02.079 --> 00:32:08.039
announced but yesterday and said the October
sixteenth deadline it's been extended to November sixteenth.

439
00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:14.720
The deadline was initially extended to October
for fifty five of California's fifty eight

440
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:17.640
counties because of last winter's storms.
We're just minutes away from Handle. On

441
00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:21.759
the news this morning, the family
of a man who died in LAPD custody

442
00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:27.519
has been awarded more than thirteen million
dollars. It is Breast cancer Awareness month,

443
00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:30.799
so we wanted to make you aware
of a way you can help by

444
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:36.240
taking a little walk. So let's
say good morning to the vice president of

445
00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:39.880
Susan g Cummen West Region. It's
Megan Klank. Good morning, Megan,

446
00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:46.599
good morning. Oh let's see if
we have a little bit better connection there

447
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:50.680
you are, okay, Megan,
tell us this morning, tell us about

448
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:52.480
the walk. Who is walking,
who can walk? And when is it?

449
00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:59.839
The walk is on Sunday, October
twenty ninth at Exhibition Park And anybody

450
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:05.839
welcome to join us right now.
We are expecting over five thousand individuals nice

451
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:09.279
to be on site with us that
day, yes, okay. And if

452
00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:15.720
people are interested, it's it's Saturday, October twenty ninth, right, Sunday,

453
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:20.440
October twenty Yeah, Sunday, October
twenty nine. And how do they

454
00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:23.799
get more information about signing up and
registering and all that. Yeah, just

455
00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:30.599
go to Cooman dot org and put
the Los Angeles Walk in the search bar

456
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:34.920
and all the information will come up
on how you can get signed up and

457
00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:39.240
join us for just a day of
community and connection and reminding everyone to take

458
00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:43.319
action on behalf of their breast health. Okay. And I know that you

459
00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:50.240
say that anybody is welcome, but
the focus is really on whom. Yes,

460
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:54.880
the focus is to celebrate our community
of breast cancer survivors and those who

461
00:33:54.880 --> 00:34:00.799
are living with metaphatic breast cancer and
their families and their coach and friends.

462
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:05.039
But you do not have to be
one of to stand with and so we

463
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:08.599
invite everybody to come out and join
us on that beautiful morning and just learn

464
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:12.800
more about what you can do to
help us in the fight against breast cancer.

465
00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:15.840
Okay, and I don't know what
the most up to date numbers are,

466
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:22.000
but how how many people are affected
by breast cancer each year? Yeah?

467
00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:27.159
Unfortunately, the statistic is still one
in eight women in the United States

468
00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:30.639
in her lifetime will be diagnosed with
breast cancer. And so it's so important

469
00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:36.360
to know your body and know what's
normal for you and early detections can help

470
00:34:36.400 --> 00:34:38.639
save your life. Okay, so
let's talk a little bit about the Susan

471
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:44.239
B. Common Foundation. When people
are doing things, making donations, are

472
00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:46.320
going for a walk and raising money
to that, where does the money go

473
00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:52.039
to? Yes, So we have
three distinct areas that we invest in our

474
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:55.119
mission and take a three hundred and
sixty degree approach. So we invest in

475
00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:59.800
breakthrough research because that's what's going to
get us to the cure and we're the

476
00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:05.599
love just nonprofit investor and research in
the world. And then we also advocate

477
00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:10.400
at the federal and state and local
levels so that no matter where you live,

478
00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:14.159
or who you are, or what
level of insurance you have, that

479
00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:20.119
you have access to quality, affordable
healthcare. And then we provide direct assistance

480
00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:22.400
to patients who meet our help right
now. And that's for a patient care

481
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:27.519
center. Okay. And when you
say you provide direct assistance to patients,

482
00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:30.920
what do you mean by that?
Yeah, so we provide financial assystems as

483
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:37.519
well as navigation services to make sure
that we are essentially a warm hug you

484
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:40.480
call us. We will help you
for as long as you need and just

485
00:35:40.559 --> 00:35:45.679
in terms of access to any other
local resources and to answer any questions and

486
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:51.280
help you understand and navigate your diagnosis. Yeah. Well, speaking from experience,

487
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:53.280
I can tell you that getting a
cancer diagnosis is a scary thing.

488
00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:57.960
You don't know how to navigate,
and it's kind of like your doctor goes,

489
00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:00.559
hey, look what we found and
then you go, so, oh,

490
00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:04.559
well, what do I do next? Like who you know, where

491
00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:06.960
do I reach out to? And
that's one of the things that the Comman

492
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:10.480
Foundation can help you do. That's
exactly right, and we will that we're

493
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:15.119
there for you as long as you
meet us. Okay, And you know,

494
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:20.880
I had a friend who had breast
cancer and she relied on the Susan

495
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:24.719
B. Coleman Foundation extensively because again
she didn't know and after going through the

496
00:36:24.760 --> 00:36:29.639
treatment and then she had the masectomies
and the reconstruction and all that, they

497
00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:31.719
just kind of helped her get stuff
done. And she was like like,

498
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:35.679
go this way to do this,
and we'll help you arrange this flight for

499
00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:38.480
this and you know, I mean
they really just helped her walk through it

500
00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:44.480
and so she could focus on her
healing as opposed to focusing on how to

501
00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:47.400
get through it exactly. You know, we like to say you do not

502
00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:52.119
have to do this alone, and
it is no matter who you are,

503
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:55.920
it's so overwhelming as you're going through
treatment. And so you know, please

504
00:36:57.039 --> 00:37:00.559
use Coman as a resource because we
are truly there to help any person navigate

505
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:05.159
their treatment journey. Awesome, and
you will definitely not be alone if you

506
00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:09.880
join in the More than Pink Walk. This not this, but the Sunday

507
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:15.639
the twenty ninth at Exposition Park.
And again, what's the website to go

508
00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:21.679
to to find out more information coman
dot org and then search for Los Angeles

509
00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:23.360
Walk. You got it. Well, best of luck to you. Thank

510
00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:27.480
you so much for your time,
Megan, and let's raise a lot of

511
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:30.000
money so we can beat this thing. Thank you so much. All Right,

512
00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:34.039
you take care. Let's get back
to some of the stories coming out

513
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:38.360
of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. California Governor Newsom is speaking out against

514
00:37:38.360 --> 00:37:43.840
the Hamas attack on Israel. In
a pre recorded video, Newsom offered his

515
00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:49.440
solidarity with Jews around the world.
Hamas terrorists didn't just attack Israel, they

516
00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:52.960
attacked Jews everywhere. So let's be
clear. These acts were pure evil,

517
00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:58.800
and as we all know too well, evil can only prevail if good people

518
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:01.920
sit idly by and do nothing.
Newsom's video was played during a rally in

519
00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:07.760
West la on Sunday in support of
Israel. The US and Israel have agreed

520
00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:12.719
to develop a plan that will provide
humanitarian aid from donor nations to the people

521
00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:16.519
of Gaza. Secretary of State Antony
Blincoln says it's critical the aid starts arriving

522
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:22.119
soon. Police in Belgium have shot
and killed a suspected Tunisian extremists accused of

523
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:29.400
killing two Swedish soccer fans in Brussels. Prime Minister Alexander Ducruz says a third

524
00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:35.079
person was also injured. The perpetrators
targeted specifically Swedish supporters who were in Brussels

525
00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:39.679
to attend a Red Devil's soccer match. Amateur video shows a man pull up

526
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:45.039
on a scooter and open fire on
people before chasing them into a building to

527
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:49.119
gun them down. Prosecutors say the
man is thought to have been inspired by

528
00:38:49.199 --> 00:38:53.559
ISIS. Russia's President Putin has been
met by an honor guard in China as

529
00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:58.280
he arrived in Beijing to meet with
Chinese leaders. The two countries have forged

530
00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:01.719
an informal alliance against the UN and
other democratic nations. China has tried to

531
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:07.119
balance its ties with Israel, which
the US supports, with its economic relations

532
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:10.559
with Iran and Syria, which are
strongly backed by Russia. Russia's waging a

533
00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:15.159
new offensive in eastern Ukraine. ABC's
Patrick Reevil says Russia has been trying to

534
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:20.599
encircle a strategic city using thousands of
troops and armors. So far, it's

535
00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:24.440
suffering severe losses. And gaining very
little ground. Videos showed dozens of Russian

536
00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:30.280
armored vehicles destroyed. The scale of
the offensive suggests the Kremlin is trying to

537
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:35.199
turn the tide Trump. The city
under attack is close to the capital of

538
00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:39.440
the Russian occupied Nanetsk region. The
federal judge overseeing the election interference case against

539
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:45.280
former President Trump in Washington has issued
a limited gag order. ABC's Andrew Dimbert

540
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:50.880
says Trump is now barred from making
statements that target prosecutors, possible witnesses,

541
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:53.960
and the judge's staff. Judge Tanya
Chutkin, saying, I cannot imagine any

542
00:39:53.960 --> 00:39:59.199
other criminal case in which the defendant
is permitted to call the prosecutor deranged or

543
00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:01.519
a thug. I will not permit
it here. But the judge will still

544
00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:06.679
allow Trump to criticize President Biden and
the Justice Department, and he can still

545
00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:09.920
make claims that the case is politically
motivated. Trump's lawyers argued the order would

546
00:40:09.960 --> 00:40:15.559
unconstitutionally hinder his political speech. Hey, before we get out of here,

547
00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:20.159
got to make you aware of this
one. Did you know that shohey Otani

548
00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:23.400
is going to be a free agent
in a couple of weeks. So the

549
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:28.119
Dodgers apparently have their eye on him. There was talk earlier this season that

550
00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:31.159
maybe they were going to try to
bring him over, but then that kind

551
00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:35.559
of went by the wayside and Otani
said no, I'm sticking with the Angels.

552
00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:37.400
But then he got injured and now
it's up in the air again.

553
00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:45.159
So there are projections that he could
earn a half billion dollar contract five hundred

554
00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:51.960
million dollars. The Dodgers apparently almost
signed oh Tani out of high school,

555
00:40:51.960 --> 00:40:54.079
but then he decided he wanted to
play in Japan first, and that's when

556
00:40:54.079 --> 00:41:00.119
he really developed the hitting and the
pitching thing. Dodgers are considered front runners

557
00:41:00.159 --> 00:41:04.760
to sign oh Tawny this time around, so we shall have to wait and

558
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:09.320
see fun to have a great picture
like that. This is KFI and kost

559
