WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:13.519 You're listening to wake Up Call on demand from kf I A M six forty 2 00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:23.440 k if I hand kost H D two, Los Angeles, Orange County Age. 3 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:29.679 Would you like to see something strange? I'm with the sun Lucy this 4 00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:44.159 time this fun screen. It's time for your morning wake up call. What's 5 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:55.399 Here's Amy King. This is your wake up call for Wednesday, October twenty 6 00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:59.640 fifth. Good morning, I'm Amy King. Thanks for waking up. You 7 00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:03.039 know, we're less than a week out from Halloween and playing that music, 8 00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:06.760 I can see everybody in different rooms and we've all been dancing, so maybe 9 00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:08.359 you're dancing a little bit this morning. Great way to start your day. 10 00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:12.359 And again, thank you for joining us this morning. I'm feeling very grateful 11 00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:19.560 this morning. Grateful for technology too, because I was talking to a friend 12 00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.079 of mine yesterday and I was like, Hey, how you doing, And 13 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.519 she said, oh, my husband's in the hospital and he ended up getting 14 00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:30.040 a stint put in his heart because he had a blocked artery. Apparently he 15 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.920 was exercising a couple of days ago and got that sharp pain in his chest 16 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:40.799 and his doctor convinced him to go to the emergency room. Now and less 17 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:46.120 than twenty four hours later he was in surgery and they sent me pictures of 18 00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.959 the artery. It's called the Widow Maker. My cousin had this too and 19 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:55.120 had the surgery and he's doing great years later, but he's had the stint, 20 00:01:55.159 --> 00:02:00.519 and they show that before and after pictures. It is amazing they open 21 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.280 the artery with a stint. So thankful that they've made such great strides on 22 00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.319 taking care of peoples and their hearts. And hopefully Monty is on the road 23 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:12.199 to recovery. But that's why I'm feeling grateful today. Hopefully you have something 24 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.199 to be grateful for. Two. Here's what's ahead. On wake Up Call, 25 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:20.560 a UN relief agency says it will have to cease operations in the Gaza 26 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.080 Strip if it doesn't get more fuel. Without the fuel, the agency says 27 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:30.120 it can't distribute any aid to the six hundred thousand Palestinians taking shelter at UN 28 00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:34.759 facilities. Israel says it's not letting any fuel into the Gaza Strip, fearing 29 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.319 it would just be used by Hamas in its war with Israel. As quickly 30 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.719 as he was nominated majority whip, but Tom Emmer has dropped out of the 31 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:46.240 race. For Speaker of the House. Republicans have now nominated Louisiana Representative Mike 32 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.120 Johnson for Speaker. We're gonna check in with ABC Stephen Portnoy about the musical 33 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.560 chairs of the speakership in just a couple of minutes. Time has recognized cow 34 00:02:54.680 --> 00:03:00.639 Fire and Alert California's AI wildfire detector as the best invention of twenty twenty three. 35 00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:06.360 Over one thousand cameras with AI are being used to detect smoke and stop 36 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.680 wildfires before they can grow. In the first two months of the program, 37 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:15.080 the system had correctly identified seventy seven fires before any nine one one calls came 38 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.840 in. At six oh five, It's handle on the news, Mark Meadows 39 00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:23.000 has been granted immunity that means he could testify in the federal election interference case 40 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:27.879 against President Trump. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of 41 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:31.400 the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Israel claims its latest air strikes in Gdza 42 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:37.400 have killed Hamath's commanders and hit militants as they got ready to fire rockets into 43 00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.280 Israel. There have been four hundred air strikes against Gaza in twenty four hours, 44 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:45.680 more than three hundred strikes the day before. US National Security Coordinator John 45 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:50.439 Kirby says a US special envoy is working to get the hundreds of Americans to 46 00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.639 a safe place, and he's also talking to partners, particularly Egypt, about 47 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:59.840 the possibility of others getting out through RAFA again, Innocent civilians of many different 48 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.080 nowstionalities, certainly Palestinians, that want to leave and should be allowed to leave 49 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.280 an active war zone. He says more needs to be done before a pause 50 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:11.719 in the war could even happen. A driver accused of crashing into and killing 51 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.240 four Pepperdine University students as they walked along pch in Malibu has been charged with 52 00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:20.759 four counts of murder. Legal analyst Royal Oaks explains prosecutors possible reasoning for the 53 00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:27.160 murder charges. It seems strange to charge somebody with murder involving of vehicular homicide, 54 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:31.040 But if a person knows the distinct possibility that his actions will result in 55 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.560 death, even if he didn't intend it, that justifies murder in the second 56 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:39.600 degree. The twenty two year old man was arrested yesterday, a week after 57 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:45.560 the crash. He's being held on eight million dollars bail. Actor Richard Roundtree 58 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:47.839 has died. He was best known for his role as Detective John Shaff in 59 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.839 the action thriller Shaft, as well as two sequels and a TV series. 60 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.480 He also appeared in films like City Heat and George of the Jungle. His 61 00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:00.519 longtime manager says Roundtree died yesterday at home in LA after a brief battle with 62 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:06.240 pancreatic cancer. He was eighty one. Let's say good morning to ABC's Stephen 63 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:12.000 portnoy So. Stephen. After meetings and secret votes, Tom Emmer was announced 64 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:16.000 as the next Speaker of the House nominee and that lasted about an hour four 65 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:21.639 to be precise, four hours and twelve minutes actually, but look. Tom 66 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:28.720 Emmer flamed out yesterday in part because he was viewed as not conservative enough. 67 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:34.199 The Minnesota congressman, who is the House majority whip, was confronted with the 68 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:38.839 problem that he needs to get right with Jesus, in the words of one 69 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.560 congressman from Georgia, because he supports the right of same sex couples to marry. 70 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.720 He also found himself facing the ire of former President Trump, who said 71 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:51.360 in a social media post that Republicans would be making a tragic mistake if they 72 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:56.879 chose Tom Emmer to be their speaker. So Tom Emmer, who voted to 73 00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.800 uphold the results of the twenty twenty election, got the heave ho and Republicans 74 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:05.160 late last night rallied around a Louisiana congressman named Mike Johnson. Never heard of 75 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:10.839 him. Fifty one years old, four term congressman from Shreveport. He is 76 00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:15.279 a conservative legal mind. He came to prominence in Louisiana politics for his work 77 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:20.920 for the Southern Baptist Convention, and he is someone who worked in twenty twenty 78 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:27.199 to get colleagues to sign on to an amicus brief that he helped draft that 79 00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.839 aimed to change the results of the twenty twenty election and get the Supreme Court 80 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.639 to intervene to overturn the results from states such as Pennsylvania. The Supreme Court 81 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:43.000 did not take up that case, so Mike Johnson brought cameras into the meeting 82 00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:46.560 room yesterday to have America wake up this morning to pictures of him being rallied 83 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:51.759 around by fellow Republicans. He spoke to reporters briefly and said that the Republican 84 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:56.839 Conference is now united and ready to move forward. And so that's the image 85 00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.199 that people will have this morning of Mike Johnson being hailed by his colleagues and 86 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:05.279 being cheered. We'll see if at midday today he truly does have enough support 87 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:08.920 to win the gabble. But I will tell you Amy that this morning, 88 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:12.240 there is a lot of momentum behind Mike Johnson. There are not the kind 89 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.079 of whispers and recriminations. And maybe it's a function of the fact that Republicans 90 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.920 have seemingly exhausted all their other options and feel that they have no choice but 91 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:23.800 to settle on someone not very well known to the country, but someone who's 92 00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.920 well regarded in their caucus, someone who's a champion of the impeachment inquiry for 93 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.439 example, and other things. You know, a challenge for Mike Johnson, 94 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.160 and this will be something we'll talk about if he does win the gable is 95 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:38.160 the challenge is the difficulty that someone who doesn't have as much experience legislating as 96 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:42.879 for example, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, or Joe Biden going into negotiations 97 00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:46.360 over government spending. You know, Mike Johnson may be a principled conservative, 98 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:50.920 but he's not been around the law as long and has not perhaps seen as 99 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:54.839 much as some of these other men have, and may not know where some 100 00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:58.560 of the bodies are buried, may not know strategically how to play things as 101 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.079 well as the other men on the other of the table. Mit, So 102 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.800 we'll see. But look, Mike Johnson, as I say, has momentum. 103 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.040 He has the support of most in his conference. There were roughly twenty 104 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.519 Republicans who didn't attend last night's roll call, maybe because they were simply exhausted, 105 00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.319 so they're not yet on the record as to whether they'll vote for him 106 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.839 on the floor. But I think this morning the expectation is that Mike Johnson 107 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.680 has about a good a chance as anyone so far of actually winning the speakership. 108 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.120 Okay, we'll have to wait and see. And the vote's supposed to 109 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.399 happen like nine o'clock right your time. Yes, Okay, great, Steven 110 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.039 Portinoy, thanks for the update. Appreciate it. You got it is like 111 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:37.320 a giant musical chairs with these speaker nominees. Let's get back to some of 112 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.159 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. California is leading 113 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:46.759 a coalition of thirty three states and assuing social media giant Meta for allegedly harming 114 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:52.159 the mental health of young people. Our investigation has found that Meta has misled 115 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.039 its users and that it's putting our children in harm's way. There's a mountain 116 00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:01.480 of growing evidence that social media as an negative impact on our children. Attorney 117 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:07.279 General Rob Bonta filed the federal lawsuit against the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, 118 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:13.000 claiming prolonged use of social media results in higher levels of depression, anxiety, 119 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.279 body image issues, and other harm. We're going to be talking more 120 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:20.840 about this with ABC's Mike Debuski at five twenty. Pretty fascinating stuff. A 121 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.679 woman who allegedly stabbed and decapitated her mother in Almonte has been charged with murder. 122 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.960 The La County DA charged the woman with one count of murder and one 123 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.440 count of assault with a deadly weapon, with allegations that she used the knife 124 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.879 and the killing. This neighbor has lived across the street for years and says 125 00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:37.759 he's never seen or heard the family have any issues. I mean, it's 126 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.240 definitely a little scary to know that stuff can happen like that, but I 127 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:46.240 mean, just along with everything I know, anything can happen anywhere. Police 128 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.519 found the mother's body Sunday evening with multiple stab wounds and pulled out what appeared 129 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.600 to be ahead from a trash bin. The DA said yesterday. If convicted, 130 00:09:54.720 --> 00:10:00.120 the woman faces life in prison. Chris Adler kaf I News. The 131 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:05.720 DMV has revoked the license of the Cruise robo taxi service owned by General Motors, 132 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:11.279 which had just started offering rides in San Francisco. Officials determined the driverless 133 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:16.559 cars are a dangerous menace. The indefinite suspension of Cruise Robotaxis comes two months 134 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:22.120 after the Public Utilities Commission approved an expansion that authorized around the clock rides throughout 135 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:28.919 San Francisco. Also came not too long after somebody was hit by one of 136 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:35.279 the Cruse taxis. The person was actually hit by another vehicle that kind of 137 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:39.279 threw him into the path of the taxi, and the taxi drove over him, 138 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:41.639 and then the person got pinned underneath and had to be extracted by jaws 139 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:46.240 of life. Pretty bad injuries. An internal memo sent to border agents in 140 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:52.440 San Diego has warned terrorists from the Israel Hamas war may try to illegally cross 141 00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.799 the California Mexico border. Sources in the agency say the memo, dated October 142 00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:01.399 twentieth, was issued by an intelligence unit in the San Diego sector and was 143 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.960 only sent to a few people. The memo includes color photos of patches from 144 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.840 Hamas, Palestinian Islami Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, 145 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:18.799 and Hesbola. Governor Newsom has met with Chinese President Xijin Ping and other government 146 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:24.240 officials in Beijing. He signed a new climate focused memo of understanding with China's 147 00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.519 National Development and Reform Commission. Newsom's office says the governor also talked about his 148 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.600 visit to the Middle East and how China can play a role in diffusing tensions 149 00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:39.799 in the region. Hurricane Otis has hit Mexico's southern Pacific coast as a Category 150 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:45.879 five storm. Acapulco and surrounding towns have seen heavy rains and winds up to 151 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:50.039 one hundred and sixty five miles per hour. Otis was downgraded to a category 152 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:54.919 four storm and expected to weaken quickly in the state of Guerrero's steep mountains, 153 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.519 but five to ten inches of rain is in the forecast, and that has 154 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.120 raised the threat of land's slides and floods. Hey, I don't know if 155 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.799 you use Ways and Google Maps. I know I do. I don't know 156 00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.200 if you know this, but I'm actually the voice of Ways, so I 157 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:13.159 can kind of get you anywhere. When the at first started, they they 158 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:18.279 and I came to an agreement and I voiced that app. So it's kind 159 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.559 of a fun little thing for me. But you can't use it now in 160 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:24.919 Israel or the Guy's strip. This is really fascinating, I thought, but 161 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:31.399 Google and Ways, at the request of the Israeli military, have disabled their 162 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:37.120 live traffic conditions and updates and they're saying it's out of consideration for the safety 163 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:45.000 of local communities because live traffic information could reveal Israeli troop movements if they go 164 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.639 in for a ground assault. The company also did this in Ukraine last year 165 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:54.200 after Russia invaded, so kind of a cool move, very strategic. And 166 00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:01.080 also I want to tell you about Croc Cowboy boots. We talked about these 167 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.679 the other day because they just came out on Monday, the twenty third, 168 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:13.360 and they're a hit, like they're selling out, and so the Croc people 169 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:18.720 are obviously very excited because they were like Hey, we got these really weird 170 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.480 looking boots. So it's like a mix of a croc and a cowboy boot, 171 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.720 so it's basically a foam cowboy boot. And I've looked at pictures of 172 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:30.120 them online. They're kind of funky. But after the first day they were 173 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:33.480 running out. They just had certain select sizes available. And of the people 174 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:39.399 who got them, they're saying things like nothing says yeha, like having a 175 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.360 pair of spiky wheels attached to your feet, because apparently they have the little 176 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:48.200 things on the back of them. And one guy said that these boots are 177 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:54.440 like the love child of John Wayne and the marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters. He 178 00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.320 says they'll hug your feet like a country love song that's from Stylish Gambino out 179 00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:03.879 of La. I still think they're weird looking. Striking hotel workers are planning 180 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:09.879 to march through downtown La today. Workers from fifty hotels are expected to join 181 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.240 in. The union says the rally will be in protest of poverty wages and 182 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:20.000 the hotels hiring homeless refugees to replace striking workers. People won't be able to 183 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:24.759 cruise in San Francisco. The DMV has suspended the driverless taxi service, citing 184 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:30.480 unreasonable risk to public safety. A Cruise driverless car recently ran over a pedestrian. 185 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.600 The Arizona Diamondbacks are headed to the World Series for the first time in 186 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:39.039 twenty years after winning the National League Championship Series with a four to two Game 187 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:45.480 seven win over Philadelphia that sets up a Diamondbacks Rangers World Series. Game one 188 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.200 is Friday. I hate to see it, but at least if they beat 189 00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:52.440 the Dodgers, they didn't you know, tank in the next one, and 190 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.000 they really are on a roll. At six oh five, it's handle on 191 00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:01.320 the news. Former President Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen has testified that Trump liked 192 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.960 to mess with the numbers a lot. Right now, let's say good morning 193 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:11.240 to ABC's technology reporter Mike Dubuski. Good morning, Nike, Mike. We 194 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:15.080 have thirty three states going after Meta. What's it all about. Yeah, 195 00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:18.720 that's right. So California and Colorado kind of led this effort, a total 196 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:24.960 of thirty three state attorneys general filing a joint lawsuit against Meta in the Northern 197 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:30.279 District of California. At the same time, nine more state attorneys general filed 198 00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:33.639 similar legal action in their own states and districts. Meta, of course, 199 00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.240 the company that owns Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, a few other apps. 200 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:43.919 The ags here are alleging that the company designed what they call psychologically manipulative features 201 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:50.360 into their apps, essentially inducing this compulsive behavior in its users, specifically younger 202 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:54.840 users children, tricking these kids into spending more time on the app, forcing 203 00:15:54.879 --> 00:16:00.080 them down rabbit holes of toxic and harmful contents, allege, and they say 204 00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:04.000 that Meta did this for their own financial benefit. Obviously, the more time 205 00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:07.919 you spend on their apps, the more time you spend looking at ads, 206 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.519 the better that is for Meta. The ag say this violates consumer protection law 207 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:17.120 as well as child privacy law, and they're looking for financial penalties against the 208 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:22.080 company as well as an injunction that would force Meta to shut down certain aspects 209 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:26.039 of its business. What kind of aspects would they be forced to shut down, 210 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:29.519 It's a little unclear at this point. So the lawsuit that was filed 211 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:32.799 in the Northern District of California, it's a two hundred and thirty three page 212 00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:36.759 document. It's pretty heavily redacted, which means that it's kind of tough to 213 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:41.159 get a full picture of what the ags have here both in terms of what 214 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:48.080 they're looking for and exactly what evidence they have to support their allegations. There's 215 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:51.159 two buckets here. It's important to remember amy, right. There's the manipulative 216 00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:56.320 practices bucket, which has to do with things like harmful recommendation and algorithms that 217 00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.159 Instagram and Facebook use. Right, every time you scroll through your Instagram feed, 218 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.640 the more time you linger on certain posts or if you like or comment, 219 00:17:03.839 --> 00:17:07.119 well, then the algorithm knows that you like that sort of thing, 220 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:08.640 and it's going to show you more of that. Well. They say that 221 00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:12.319 this creates a rabbit hole if you like, you know, misleading content, 222 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:17.440 it can lead to some more dangerous things down the line. They also cite 223 00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:22.599 notifications, you know, your phone lighting up with Facebook or and Instagram notification 224 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:26.240 that releases a little bit of dopamine in your brain because people want to get 225 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:30.720 in contact with you and talk to you. That could be harmful to people 226 00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:33.759 whose brains are not fully developed, children, teenagers, that sort of thing. 227 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:37.839 Things like photo filters. We're also, you know, in discussion here 228 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.799 from the AG's perspective, we usually talk about this with relation to Snapchat, 229 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:45.400 but Instagram offers them as well, these filters that change your appearance. The 230 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:51.119 ages say that this could potentially be harmful to people creating issues of body dysmorphia, 231 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:53.519 or maybe your body's not perfect enough. That's you know, another concern 232 00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:56.759 here and Amy, it's also worth mentioning this is nothing new. It's not 233 00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:02.440 like there's new information coming to light here. We remember back in twenty twenty 234 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:07.279 one, Francis Hagen, a very high profile whistleblower former Facebook executive, testified 235 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:14.119 before Congress largely about exactly this, saying that not only did Facebook design these 236 00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:17.519 features, but they knew that they were harmful to kids, and they did 237 00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:22.359 it anyway. The AGS actually began investigating this before Francis Hagan testified around the 238 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:27.400 time that Instagram was playing around with an idea called Instagram Kids, which is 239 00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:30.839 pretty much exactly what it sounds like, Amy, a version of Instagram design 240 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:34.680 specifically for people under thirteen. You know, it's interesting too, all those 241 00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:37.279 things that you're saying, I'm like, yep, been sucked into that. 242 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:41.839 Yep, been sucked into that. I mean my our producer and we were 243 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:48.160 just talking yesterday about how she will sit after work and just scroll through videos 244 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:51.920 and videos and she said, and then it knows what kind of videos I 245 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:55.240 like, and it feeds me more of them, and some are better at 246 00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:56.960 this than others. Right. I know a lot of people talk about TikTok 247 00:18:57.000 --> 00:19:00.839 as having a particularly you know, active algorithm. Right, It's easy to 248 00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:04.160 fall into those rabbit holes where it might not be on some of the TikTok 249 00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:10.480 competitors, things like YouTube shorts or Meta's own Instagram reels. The question, 250 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:12.240 though, I think that's interesting to consider here, is is any of this 251 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:18.279 illegal technically? Right? We know that these tools are there and that they 252 00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:22.119 are addictive, but when it comes to actual evidence, right, A lot 253 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.039 of the studies that have been done into social media's effect on younger users are 254 00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:30.000 small or they're narrow, so it's kind of hard to get a full picture 255 00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:34.119 of exactly what the problem is here. A lot of that comes back to 256 00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:38.960 the fact that the data that we could use to service those studies is behind 257 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:45.319 closed doors at Meta and x and TikTok and Snapchat and others. And they 258 00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:47.720 probably don't want to give it up. Of course they don't, right, 259 00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:51.160 I mean why would they? And you know, again, this is financially 260 00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:55.640 beneficial to them. It's worth highlighting how META responded to this as well. 261 00:19:55.680 --> 00:20:00.160 They say that they're disappointed that instead of working productively with companies across the industry 262 00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.960 to create a clear, age appropriate standard, that the AGS decided to go 263 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:07.920 in this direction. They also highlighted the more than thirty tools that they say 264 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:14.119 are designed to mitigate some of the allegations that these AGS have leveled, and 265 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:17.200 that's kind of how they're pushing back against this. I think you can expect 266 00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:21.279 Meta to attempt to dismiss this case, fight it in court, but it 267 00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:25.000 is really significant Amy. I think that you know, there's forty attorneys general 268 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:27.319 here from both sides of the aisle. Total. When was the last time 269 00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:33.160 you got forty of anybody to agree on anything, let alone attorneys general from 270 00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.720 the Democrat and Republican sides of the isle. So okay, so the lawsuit's 271 00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:40.720 been filed, and when are we going to see any kind of action or 272 00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:44.039 is this going to just be played out for years? You know, we'll 273 00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:47.839 see. As I mentioned, we can expect Meta to their first step to 274 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.599 be to try and dismiss this case or make an effort to dismiss this case. 275 00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:55.680 Beyond that, it will be up to a judge to decide, you 276 00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:59.799 know, whether to go forward with this. There have been actions taken at 277 00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:06.559 the state level in this world before against social media. Some judges have agreed 278 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:08.359 with Metis, some have not. You will have to see exactly how this 279 00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.559 plays out. I think another aspect of this that's interesting to talk about is 280 00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:15.640 why we're seeing this at the state level, right as opposed to the federal 281 00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:21.359 level. Joe Biden and many in Congress have talked about the dangers of social 282 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:26.200 media in the past, but we have not seen any large scale internet regulation 283 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:29.480 from Congress. So I think that's why you're seeing this happen at the state 284 00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:33.519 level. And let's remember thirty nine states across the Union. Both the legislature 285 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:37.680 and the governor's office are controlled by a single party, which means that it's 286 00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.839 easier to pass legislation, it's easier to pass regulation. So it's an interesting 287 00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:44.960 moment here. You know, when we're talking about tech regulation, you know 288 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:47.440 it could come from the states, might not come from the federal government. 289 00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:52.119 Okay, ABC's News Technology reporter Mike Dobuski, Thanks so much, Mike, 290 00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:56.440 Compete, appreciate your insights this morning. Of course, we'll be watching that 291 00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:00.799 suit. Still lots more coming up. On wake Up Call, We're going 292 00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:03.440 to be talking to Jordana Miller in Jerusalem, and also Nick Poliochanni and I 293 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:10.000 are getting spooky. Oh and one other thing I want to mention real quick. 294 00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:15.000 Yesterday we were talking about with Joel Larsgard about the high prices of diet 295 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.799 coke and I was going, I'm not paying eight or nine dollars for a 296 00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:23.240 twelve pack. And our editor Carla did a little googling and she saw that 297 00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:26.759 diet coke is going on sale at Ralph's today for three ninety nine for a 298 00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.599 twelve pack. Thought you might want to know in case you want to try 299 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:36.640 to save some money too. It's time for Amie's on It. Aamie's on 300 00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:44.720 it, AMI's on it, Damie's on it. And since it's the spooky 301 00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:51.359 season, instead of looking at haunted houses and shows on TV, we're looking 302 00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:56.240 at actual haunted houses, hotels, towns, and even ships in California. 303 00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.920 So I've got Nick Poliochanni to get a little spooky with me this morning. 304 00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:06.920 Nice laugh. I like it, Okay, I try so. There are 305 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:12.119 several places around California that several people say they're really haunted, and you just 306 00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:15.519 went to check out one of them, and that's the Winchester Mystery House in 307 00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:18.240 San Jose. I haven't been there since I was a kid, but any 308 00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:22.559 spooky things happened while you were there, Oh my gosh. So Sarah Winchester 309 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:26.680 is the owner, was the former owner, and she bought the house in 310 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:30.759 eighteen eighty six. It was an eight bedroom farmhouse and she expanded it to 311 00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:36.680 thirty eight bedrooms and twenty twenty two dens and I think it was sixteen bathrooms. 312 00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:38.839 Anyway, Yeah, it's creepy, let me tell you Amy, And 313 00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.680 being up there. The whole concept was that Sarah bought the house and because 314 00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:48.640 she is the heir to the Winchester fortune, all those people who had been 315 00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:53.640 killed by Winchester rifles had followed her to this home, and so she was 316 00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:59.519 building all of these rooms and all these additions to be able to both appease 317 00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:02.920 the ghost but also to help allegedly protect her from the ghost. So the 318 00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:06.880 way the protected herself was she did a lot of really weird things, like 319 00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:10.559 she has stair she built stairways in the house, or have them built that 320 00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:14.920 go nowhere, they end it doors, or they just stop in there, 321 00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:18.480 and she slept in a different room every night because she didn't want the ghost 322 00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.640 to catch up with her. Right and better yet is the incredible door to 323 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.079 nowhere on the second floor that literally just walks out. If you walk out 324 00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:29.480 the door, you would end up on a pathway down below, just like 325 00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:32.960 right out of it. So it's wild. It's a beautiful place in the 326 00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:36.200 middle of San Jose. The city has just been built up around it, 327 00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:38.920 but it is creepy, especially as the sun goes down in that area and 328 00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:44.799 then they have unhinged. Housewarming was their Halloween overlay, which took that story 329 00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:48.279 of Sarah Winchester and made it even more so with kind of a you know, 330 00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.519 a created story around somebody that are a couple from Hollywood that had gone 331 00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:55.920 in and bought the house and what happened to them after they moved in. 332 00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:03.160 Okay, speaking of Hollywood, another spooky place the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. It 333 00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:07.519 opened in nineteen twenty seven, and the hotel used to have a lot of 334 00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:12.079 celebrity guests and apparently some have never checked out. Marilyn Monroe's even one of 335 00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:18.359 the ghosts believed to haunt the historic Hollywood Hotel. Okay, here's another one. 336 00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.480 It does freak me out. I don't know that I believe in this 337 00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.480 whole thing, but it's still is freaky. In places like the Winchester House 338 00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.960 are very they're just spooky. Here's there's a lot of energy there. Yeah, 339 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.400 it definitely feels a little heavy, if that makes sense. Okay, 340 00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:37.440 yeah, okay. So here's a whole town. It's a Body State Historic 341 00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:42.880 Park which is northeast of Yosemite, and it was a once booming little gold 342 00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:47.759 mining town, but now it's kind of frozen in time, and there are 343 00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:52.279 reports of phantom voices and ghostly apparitions roaming through the town. You can go 344 00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:57.200 for day and night tours. You can explore the preserved buildings and hear the 345 00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:03.559 tales of the ghostly inhabit tints. Here's another one. This isn't very far 346 00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:06.599 away either. If you want to go check it out, the Hotel del 347 00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:10.799 Coronado. If you've been there. Oh, did we lose Nick? Okay, 348 00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:11.480 no, oh, that was an inquiry. I didn't know it was 349 00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:12.799 me. Yes, no, no, no. I used to live in 350 00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:15.680 San Diego when I was a kid, so I did go out to the 351 00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:21.759 Hotel Dell quite often and it's a very beautiful property out on Coronado Island. 352 00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:25.319 So this is down deep in the depths of San Diego, but yeah, 353 00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:27.759 it is definitely the same. And there are many many stories in and around 354 00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:34.920 the Del Coronado that are just really creepy and people that have made it their 355 00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:37.759 final resting place, if you will, that checked in and never checked out. 356 00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:41.119 Oh yeah, they've died under mysterious circumstances. Hey, if you're going 357 00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:44.759 to go and you want to hang out somewhere for a couple of millennia, 358 00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:48.920 why not make it the Hotel Del Core. Then there's also the Queen Mary. 359 00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:55.720 And I have stayed on the Queen Mary in Long Beach and it's described 360 00:26:55.720 --> 00:27:00.240 as a floating ghost ship. Over one hundred and fifty spirits are thought to 361 00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:04.400 reside there. So when we stayed overnight, which was very cool, but 362 00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:08.799 I know that when we got out of our little the cabins at night, 363 00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:14.799 we were a little uh, here's my big word of the day, trepidacious 364 00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:18.039 and a little bit nervous. We didn't see anything, but like when you 365 00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:22.200 hear noises and little bumps in the night, you go ooh, maybe, 366 00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:26.960 And they have guided tours at the Queen Mary, including ghost hunts, so 367 00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:30.279 that's kind of a fun one. And then have you been to Alcatraz. 368 00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:33.839 I have, It's been a little while, but this is really cool because 369 00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.319 that's just out in the middle of San Francisco Bay. I didn't realize that 370 00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:42.119 I was there supposedly haunted, but apparently oh yeah, yeah, allegedly there's 371 00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:47.000 so many inmates there that may have found their demise at the hands of other 372 00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:52.000 inmates or possibly by the people who worked there. So there's a lot of 373 00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:55.839 backstory to the things there. And think about it, a prison in the 374 00:27:55.880 --> 00:28:00.119 middle of the water that you can't get in and out of without having you 375 00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:03.000 know, I mean, there's a lot of built around that. Even if 376 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:07.359 it's just legend, there's just so much a tied to that history. Yeah, 377 00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:11.839 okay, And one more also down in San Diego. It is thought 378 00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:17.400 to be one of the most haunted houses in America. It's Wayley House and 379 00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:19.839 I have not been to this, but you can go on ghost tours. 380 00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:25.319 They have nighttime visits for those brave enough to explore. And the reason that 381 00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:27.880 they think this one is so haunted is it was built on a former gallows 382 00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:33.400 site, and that the Whalley family and other spirits roam the house. And 383 00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.960 that's an old town San Diego and it's really worth it either day or night 384 00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:40.319 to go visit and check it out. But yeah, it's a lot of 385 00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:44.039 fun. And there is still a graveyard there on site as well. That 386 00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:48.519 adds to the spooking factor. All right. So those are just some of 387 00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:53.359 the places. There are seven spine chilling haunted locations around the California around California, 388 00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:56.440 inside and out. And you still have time. There's six days till 389 00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:00.279 Halloween if you want to go get a little spooky. Thank you, Nick 390 00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:04.680 Poliochini. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI 391 00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:08.160 twenty four hour newsroom. Claremont police are trying to find a homeless man accused 392 00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:11.720 of stabbing another man at a train station. Investigator say forty one year old 393 00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:17.359 Philip Burunda should be considered armed and dangerous. The Claremont Police Department says it's 394 00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:21.920 arrested Burunda fourteen times since twenty nineteen. This man, who works in downtown 395 00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:25.720 Claremont, says homelessness has gotten worse over the last couple of years. You 396 00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:27.079 used to be able to hang out in some of the areas here, like 397 00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:30.880 the parking structure and the train station would be some areas like we would like 398 00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:34.359 to hang out, but now we don't da gas. Goode's office says Brunda 399 00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:38.000 has been hit with different sentences, including a more than one year sentence for 400 00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:42.200 burglary in twenty twenty one in Claremont Lake Trolley k if I News House. 401 00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:48.559 Republicans have chosen Louisiana Congressman Mike Johnson as their latest nominee for Speaker. Johnson 402 00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:51.960 thanked the public for their patients after he was nominated last night, saying he 403 00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:56.519 and his fellow Republicans will operate like a well oiled machine. Thank you for 404 00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:00.319 allowing us to go through the process and get to this. It was worked 405 00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:03.240 it and we are going to serve you well. Still not clear if Johnson 406 00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:06.799 has the votes needed to secure the gavel. A vote is likely to happen 407 00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:10.680 at about nine this morning. The four or five improvement project in Orange County 408 00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:15.160 is expected to be completed December first. It'll have two new regular lanes between 409 00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.359 the six oh five and Seal Beach and Euclid Street and Fountain Valley and new 410 00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:22.599 express lanes between the six oh five and Highway seventy three and OC. Work 411 00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:29.480 on the project started way back in twenty eighteen. Striking hotel workers are planning 412 00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:33.079 to march through downtown LA today. Workers from fifty hotels are expected to join 413 00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:37.640 in. Earlier this week, the union accused hotels of replacing striking workers with 414 00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:42.359 homeless migrants. People won't be able to cruise in San Francisco. The DMV 415 00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:48.680 has pulled the license of the driverless taxi service owned by General Motors, citing 416 00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:55.000 unreasonable risk to public safety. A cruise driverless car recently ran over a pedestrian. 417 00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:57.480 The Arizona Diamondbacks are headed to the World Series for the first time in 418 00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:02.240 twenty years after winning the now National League Championship Series with a four to two 419 00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:07.640 Game seven win over Philadelphia that sets up a Diamondbacks Rangers World Series. Game 420 00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:11.640 one is Friday. We're just minutes away from handle. On the news this 421 00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:15.599 morning, there's another nominee for House Speaker, the second in less than twenty 422 00:31:15.640 --> 00:31:19.599 four hours. Right now, let's say good morning to ABC's White House correspondent 423 00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:25.559 Karen Travers. Karen is Israel continues to bombard the Gaza Strip ahead of a 424 00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:29.319 possible ground assault. A lot of calls are coming for a ceasefire, but 425 00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:33.559 the White House apparently not on board. No very explicit yesterday that they do 426 00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:37.279 not support a ceasefire. The White House said they want to see all measures 427 00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:41.359 of protections for civilians in Gaza, and they want to see the ability to 428 00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:47.920 get aid into Gaza. But National Security spokesman John Kirby said yesterday a ceasefire 429 00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:52.240 right now only benefits Hamas. What the White House is saying, though, 430 00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:56.519 is that humanitarian pauses must be considered to protect civilians in Gaza and get that 431 00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:01.160 aid in. But the distinction there may be is that that's a temporary tactic 432 00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:07.400 and very targeted for where it would be in terms of moving people to safety 433 00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:12.720 or giving cover for aid to get in unfettered, as John Kirby put it. 434 00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:15.000 And this is very different, they say, than a cease fire, 435 00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:20.799 which John Kirby said several times yesterday would only work for Hamas right now. 436 00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:24.240 The President was asked yesterday, are you urging Israel to delay its ground invasion, 437 00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:29.240 and he said, Israel has to make its own decisions. So we're 438 00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:31.720 basically saying more hands off, although there's been a lot of rumbling that the 439 00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:37.279 US is urging Israel to slow things down. Yeah, and we're hearing that 440 00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:42.359 from sources that you know, behind the scenes, or at least not publicly, 441 00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:45.400 the White House is advising for a delay, advising, I think, 442 00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:49.319 maybe a little different than urging, but saying, you know, this gives 443 00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:52.880 more time for hostages to be released, more time to get much needed humanitarian 444 00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:58.039 assistance into Gaza. But that is unlikely to be a message that the White 445 00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:01.400 House puts out publicly because of what the President said yesterday. They don't want 446 00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:06.599 to appear to be telling the Israelis what to do. The message publicly has 447 00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:09.559 been that Israel has a right and a duty to defend itself and that the 448 00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:13.519 US is going to stand with them and support them as they do it. 449 00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:16.599 Okay, And there was talk yesterday that they were negotiating for a large group 450 00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:22.920 of hostages, which could maybe make Israel take a little pause as opposed to 451 00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:28.079 like the one or two that have been trickling out. Yeah, we're told 452 00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:31.559 that talks are ongoing between the US and partners in the region, which would 453 00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:36.480 include Israel, Egypt, and Katar, to try and secure the release of 454 00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:40.440 a large number of hostages held by Hamas and Gaza. No updates on where 455 00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:44.160 that stands okay, And before I let you go, we've got a state 456 00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:49.240 dinner tonight. Yes, the Prime Minister of excuse me on Israel Australia so 457 00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:53.200 used to saying that right now Australia, Anthony ALBINIZI will be coming in about 458 00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:57.839 an hour to the South Lawn here for a big arrival ceremony of pomp and 459 00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:00.079 circumstance. He and the President will meet me over office and later hold a 460 00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:04.960 press conference in the Rose Garden and then tonight the lavish state dinner on the 461 00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:07.599 White House South Lawn hosted by the President and the First Lady. Okay, 462 00:34:07.679 --> 00:34:10.440 Karen Travers, thanks so much. The business in Washington, d C. 463 00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:15.559 Goes on, and we'll continue to watch what's happening across the ocean over in 464 00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:19.440 Israel. Thanks so much for taking some time with us this morning. Thank 465 00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:22.000 you. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI 466 00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:25.360 twenty four our newsroom. LAPD chief morses since the war in Israel began, 467 00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:30.360 hate crimes against Jewish people have spiked, Moore says, hours after the war 468 00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:35.000 broke out, his department was redirecting patrols to targeted areas. October seventh, 469 00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:38.840 hate crimes have surged forty percent, with forty nine hate crimes reported for these 470 00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:43.719 two week period first thirty five for the same period last year. That's an 471 00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:46.760 increase of fourteen additional hate crime. Moore says hate incidents against Muslims and Arabs 472 00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:50.480 have also gone up. He says there's no credible threat for a mass attack 473 00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:54.159 against synagogues or other Jewish gatherings. He says they're investigating every hate crime and 474 00:34:54.199 --> 00:35:00.679 suggesting charges. Steve Gregory kf I News. A woman who allegedly decampsitated her 475 00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:04.440 mother in Elmonte has been charged with murder and assault with a deadly weapon. 476 00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:07.360 Police responded to a home Sunday night, where they recovered what appeared to be 477 00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:13.159 ahead from a trash can and found a body with several stab wounds. The 478 00:35:13.159 --> 00:35:15.639 twenty five year old daughter of the woman killed was arrested and is being held 479 00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:21.840 on two million dollars bail. The United Auto Workers' Union has added a General 480 00:35:21.880 --> 00:35:25.840 Motors plant in Texas to its strike against the Detroit Big Three automakers five thousand 481 00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:30.920 workers walked off the job in Arlington yesterday, the day before the union went 482 00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:35.960 on strike at a Stalanta's pickup truck factory in Michigan. The action in Texas 483 00:35:36.119 --> 00:35:39.440 raises the number of striking auto workers to forty six thousand, as the union 484 00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:45.719 continues protesting for a sixth week. Japan's Supreme Court has ruled that a law 485 00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:52.400 requiring transgender people to have sterilization surgery in order to officially change their gender is 486 00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:57.320 unconstitutional, but the top court ordered the case to be sent back to the 487 00:35:57.400 --> 00:36:01.440 high court for more review of the requirement for gender reformation surgery. The sterilization 488 00:36:01.559 --> 00:36:06.840 law was passed in two thousand and three. It's been criticized by international rights 489 00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:10.760 and medical groups. Santa Anna has a new battery energy storage project that can 490 00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:15.360 power eighty thousand homes for four hours three hundred and twenty megawad hour. Santa 491 00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:21.599 Anna energy storage project is meant to reduce the risk of blackouts. Calpine's Alfred 492 00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:25.840 Torres says the project collects unused energy when demand is low. It delivers energy 493 00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:30.679 and grid reliability to the Santa Ana and Orange County communities, and it also 494 00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:37.119 helps reduce spikes in energy variability. That's because the Battery project kicks on to 495 00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:40.679 release that collected energy to relieve the burden on the power grid when demand rises 496 00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:45.239 during hot summer evenings or cold winter nights. In Orange County, Corbin Carson 497 00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:49.840 k if I News and the price of everything seems to be going up, 498 00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:54.760 but for Pizza Hut coming down.
