Thanks 5 00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:47.159 for waking up with us this morning.

Can't wait for October Ball. 9 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:11.319 Also, twenty six days to Halloween, We've got a Boop preview coming 10 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.200 up on wake Up Call today. We're gonna be telling you about one of 11 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:19.040 the really amazing, fun spooky things you can do leading up to the big 12 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:22.640 day. And we've got a four pack of tickets for you too, so 13 00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.560 you can go check it out for yourself. That's coming up at about five 14 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.680 thirty five. Here's what's ahead on the wake Up Call. Official say a 15 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.680 speeding driver likely caused a four vehicle crash on the four h five that killed 16 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:40.200 Manhattan Beach Police Officer Chad Swanson. Swanson was thrown from his motorcycle early yesterday 17 00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:44.560 morning on the four h five. Officer Swanson survived the mass shooting at their 18 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:49.519 Route ninety one Harvest festival in Las Vegas back in twenty seventeen. With Kevin 19 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:55.920 McCarthy out, Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise have both 20 00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.439 launched bids to replace him. Oklahoma's Kevin Hearn is also apparently in interested. 21 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:05.000 The House is currently on recess. A speaker election is set to happen next 22 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.719 Wednesday. Thousands of Kaiser workers will be on picket lines again today for the 23 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:13.680 second day of a three day strike in California and several other states. Official 24 00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:19.199 day progress has been made in negotiations. The workers want increased staffing, better 25 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:23.080 working conditions, and more money. At six oh five, it's handle on 26 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:27.240 the news. In a bit of an about face, the Biden administration is 27 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:32.680 now saying the US needs to build some border wall. The DHS secretary says 28 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:37.840 there is an acute need for border wall. Let's get started with some of 29 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:42.280 the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. A Manhattan Beach 30 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.439 Police officer killed in a freeway crash in Carson is being remembered as a hero. 31 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:50.360 Officer. Chad Swanson was injured during a mass shooting at a music festival 32 00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.520 in Vegas in twenty seventeen, where he helped save several people. Manhattan Beach 33 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.680 Police Chief Rachel Johnson says Swanson was dedicated to serving. I last spoke with 34 00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.879 Chad on Sunday at the can Car Show, and I watched as he lifted 35 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:07.159 one kid after another kid onto his motorcycle. Swanson was riding that motorcycle on 36 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.759 the four h five yesterday on his way to work when he crashed. CHP 37 00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.319 says it's still investigating the cause of the accident. Chris Adler kea Fine News. 38 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:20.960 The funeral service for Senator Dianne Feinstein is being held at City Hall in 39 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:25.199 San Francisco. It's no longer open to the public because of security concerns. 40 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:29.840 Her office says. The service this afternoon is going to be limited to invited 41 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:34.960 guests. Vice President Harris and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are among those attending. 42 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:39.319 President Biden has provided a recorded message for the service. Feinstein, who 43 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:44.439 was the longest serving female Senator in American history, died last week at the 44 00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:49.319 age of ninety. A new report from UCLA shows the window for prescribed burns 45 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:53.879 throughout southern California continues to get smaller. The report's lead author says climate change 46 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.039 has had an impact on the amount of time firefighters can safely conduct controlled burns, 47 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.879 especially the entire West. There are deer at least thirty days per year, 48 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.719 but there are a lot of places where you could potentially have as many 49 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:10.680 as seventy or eighty days in a given year. Doctor Daniel Swain's has prescribed 50 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:14.319 burns remain one of the best and safest ways to eliminate dry brush when conditions 51 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.720 are safe to do so, but as weather conditions get wetter or drier for 52 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:21.000 longer periods of time, that reduces the time firefighters com mitigate the high risk 53 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:26.759 conditions. Steve Goregori kaya Finos, the European Climate Agency, says twenty twenty 54 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.360 three is on track to be the hottest year on record. The agency says 55 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.519 the average temperature last month was one point seven degrees above the average from nineteen 56 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:38.720 ninety one. To twenty twenty. That's the warmest margin above average for a 57 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:44.600 month in eighty three years of records kept by the European Space Agency's Copernicus Climate 58 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:49.959 Change Service. President Biden's German Shepherd Commander is in the Oval doghouse. ABC's 59 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:55.319 David Packer says the two year old shepherd has been sent away because of at 60 00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:59.879 least eleven biting incidents, one which required a hospital visit. The First Ladies 61 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.120 communications director Elizabeth Alexander saying that the Bidens remain grateful for the patients and support 62 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.959 of the US Secret Service, but didn't say where commander was being sent. 63 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:15.160 He says the Biden's first German Shepherd major also seemed to have a taste for 64 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:18.959 Secret Service workers. He was sent back to Delaware time to say good morning 65 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:26.040 to ABC White House correspondent Karen Travers. Karen, President Biden's basically calling on 66 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.319 Congress to learn to play in the sandbox together. Yeah, and you know 67 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.959 this is all related to the Ukraine funding request that the administration has been pushing 68 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:40.199 for now for many weeks. The President yesterday urged House Republicans to move quickly 69 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.279 to reorganize, as he put it, and elected News speaker, saying, 70 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.879 of course, the government's only funded until November seventeenth. The President said we 71 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:54.240 cannot and should not again be faced within eleventh hour decision brinksmanship that threatens to 72 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:59.519 shut down the government. He also gave a familiar plea for a return to 73 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.319 kind of the good old days in his view, saying that the poisonous atmosphere 74 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:08.160 in Washington needs to change. He said, you have strong disagreements. He's 75 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:10.959 not wrong, it's certainly not, but you know, he said, we 76 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.160 have strong disagreements, but we need to stop seeing each other as enemies. 77 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:15.920 We needed to talk to one another, listen to one another, and work 78 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:20.240 with one another. Notably, he was asked about his lack of listening or 79 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:25.800 talking to Kevin McCarthy, because McCarthy had indicated the other day that the two 80 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:30.399 had not spoken directly in a long time. The President defended his communications to 81 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:32.240 the former speaker, saying, you know, if Kevin McCarthy wanted to talk 82 00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.560 to me, I was available that I'm available to whoever wants to talk, 83 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:41.000 including the next speaker, whoever that ends up being. I think that's sort 84 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:43.439 of a I mean, my personal thought on that is sort of a cop 85 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:45.439 out. I mean, he's the president. If he wants to talk to 86 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.680 somebody, he can call him, you know. Yeah, I mean a 87 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.439 lot of this, you know, for the president on the debt ceiling, 88 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:54.240 we saw that in the spring. There was a waiting and waiting and then 89 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:59.639 they finally started talking and that got resolved on this on the spending issue. 90 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.720 The White House take on this was that Kevin McCarthy had walked back from the 91 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:06.240 deal that he made with the President back in June, that he had completely 92 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:10.680 ignored what the President said, you know, we agreed to and we shook 93 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:14.000 on. So if he wants to talk, we need to get back to 94 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:16.480 what we agreed on just a couple months ago. And that ultimately this was 95 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:23.279 up to House Republicans to sort out because the conflict, the sticking points were 96 00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:28.439 among House Republicans, not broadly Congress. Yeah, and McCarthy, I mean, 97 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.480 he may have walked back the deal, but he was overall in support 98 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:36.279 of funding for Ukraine. So yeah, and that's a separate Yeah. Well, 99 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.800 but the thing is he hasn't put he didn't put it forward, and 100 00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.279 that's what the White House has been frustrated by. You know, it wasn't 101 00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:46.800 included in the short term agreement to keep the government operating that they passed just 102 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.199 the other day, and that he had not in any way put it forward 103 00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:53.360 just as a standalone measure. Now, what's going to end up happening is, 104 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.240 you know, McCarthy has, at least for the White House purposes, 105 00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:03.079 had signaled publicly he was interested in moving forward on assistance for Ukraine. The 106 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.839 next people who could be coming in as speaker who have thrown their hats in 107 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:11.160 the ring are far more hardline on this, Jim Jordan or Steve Scalise, 108 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:13.879 And then it makes it even more murky as to what could happen with that 109 00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:16.759 funding request from the President. That's kind of the big question over the next 110 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.160 couple of days. Yeah, it's going to be interesting to watch because I 111 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:24.199 think overall support for Ukraine there, Like you said, there's a few hardline 112 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.399 people who are kind of against it, but overall in Congress there is pretty 113 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:33.000 strong support for funding Ukraine. Yes, if you were to take a piece 114 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.720 of legislation that just had the funding for Ukraine put it on the floor, 115 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:43.600 the expectation from the public comments we see is it would pass with just bipartisan 116 00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.720 support in the Senate, and would also pass with that in the House. 117 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.000 But it's got to get to the floor, and of course it's the House 118 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.120 speaker that controls what gets to the floor in the House. Yeah, and 119 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.320 I would agree with him on the whole thing. Can't we just all get 120 00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:03.080 along? As Rodney King said person excellently, But it's Washington, I know, 121 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.960 right. Thank you so much, Karen Travers, appreciate your time this 122 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.799 morning. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI 123 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.120 twenty four hour newsroom. A lawsuit challenging La County's new zero bail policy has 124 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:18.759 been moved to Orange County. Multiple cities joined Whittier on Friday and filing for 125 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.840 an injunction on the policy, which allows nonviolent or non serious offenders to be 126 00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:28.720 cited and released. Zero bail policy took effect on Sunday, and La City 127 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:35.240 Council committee has approved a moratorium on breeding permits to help curve overcrowding at the 128 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.000 city's animal shelters. The full city Council will consider the request later. The 129 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:45.679 moratorium would be lifted when shelter capacity drops below seventy five percent, and then 130 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:52.840 could automatically be reinstated if shelter capacity rises back above seventy five percent. A 131 00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.840 bill adding paid sick days for workers in California has been signed into law by 132 00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:01.120 Governor Newsom. The bill grants a minimum of five guarantee he'd paid sick days. 133 00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.919 It used to be three. The new law comes a decade after California 134 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:09.399 passed its original paid sick leave law. New stats show a jail snitch scandal 135 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:15.840 in Orange County has caused dropped charges, overturned convictions, and reduced sentences in 136 00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.679 fifty seven felony cases. There were a myriad of reasons as to why these 137 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.440 cases were affected, but it went on for years and years. OHSI Assistant 138 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:28.200 Public Defender Scott Sanders says thirty five homicide cases and twenty two felony cases were 139 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:33.919 weakened because, he says, allegedly, the previous Orange County DA administration illegally 140 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.840 used snitches without a lawyer present, and then that info was hidden from defense 141 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.840 lawyers. So in all of these murder cases, the person was looking at 142 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:45.120 a life sentence in prison. In sixteen of those murder cases, the defendant 143 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.639 ended up serving twelve years or less. In Orange County Corbin Carson KFI News. 144 00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.159 Funeral services are being held at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels 145 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:58.200 for an Lakenny Sheriff's deputy murdered in Palmdale. The ceremony this morning for Ryan 146 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:03.759 Clinton Brumer will be live streamed. Burial after the mass is going to be 147 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.600 private. Clinton Brumer was shot last month while in his patrol car at a 148 00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:13.679 traffic light near the Palmdale sheriff station. He had gotten engaged only four days 149 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:18.279 before he was killed. A man in Philadelphia who allegedly shot three police officers 150 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.480 responding to a domestic violence call has been killed. Interim Police Commissioner John Stanford 151 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.240 says there was an argument yesterday between a child, his uncle, and his 152 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:31.720 father, who shot the uncle. When officers arrived, he begins to immediately 153 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:37.279 fire upon our officers. Three deputies and the uncle were taken to the hospital. 154 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.559 Stanford says the disagreement in the family was over the video game the man's 155 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:46.360 son was playing. Robots will soon start helping surgeons at City of Hope, 156 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:50.759 Orange County, with a breast cancer clinical trial. Medical director doctor Jennifer Saying 157 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:56.799 says the robotic nipple sparring masectomy only uses a one inch incision instead of a 158 00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:03.320 five inch incision. This is wonderful from a cosmetic standpoint. Furthermore, we're 159 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:09.080 using instrumentation that allows tenfold three D magnification in the operating room. Saying says 160 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.240 that'll provide for better outcomes. Of the two hundred people accepted into the clinical 161 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:18.240 trial, fifty will be treated at City of Hope oc SO. In spite 162 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.799 of the strikes, the studios are still pushing out new shows, and I 163 00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:26.720 am excited about this one, mainly because one of my best friends, Amy, 164 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.919 has been trying to get me to read this thing for quite a while, 165 00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.039 and I don't read books that often. I read them every once in 166 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.919 a while, but not as much as she does. So Netflix has released 167 00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:43.039 the trailer for its upcoming World War II limited series called All the Light We 168 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:50.000 Cannot See. So. It's about a blind teenager who escapes from German occupied 169 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.960 Paris with her dad and then they try to find shelter with her uncle, 170 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.960 who works for the French Revolution and records secret radio broadcasts.

Hart 179 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.720 Union High School District. The district says it is not at fault for the 180 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:48.679 shooting because it was an unforseeable terrorist Act. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorcis has 181 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:54.759 called for construction of a border wall in parts of Texas. Mayorcis cited what 182 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.039 he called an acute and immediate need to waive federal laws to build the border 183 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:01.399 wall in parts of tech Is, where I legal migration has been surging. 184 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:07.279 The Arizona Diamondbacks have swept their wildcard series against Milwaukee that sets up a best 185 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:13.799 of five National Division series against the Dodgers. The series starts at Dodgers Stadium 186 00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.159 Saturday night with Clayton Kershaw on the mound at six oh five. It's handled 187 00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.440 on the news. You're gonna want to stick around for this. Nancy Pelosi 188 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.759 got kicked out of her office space that Kevin McCarthy had given her, but 189 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.080 then you know he lost the speakership and apparently he wants that office for himself. 190 00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:35.120 Let's say good morning now to ABC's Inez de la Quetera. So Inez, 191 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.000 this is a creepy crawley ikey, itchy thing. Paris has a bedbug 192 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:45.759 problem, that's right. Yeah, So this all really started with lovely social 193 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:52.200 media videos, online seats on trains and metros, movie theaters, mostly in 194 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:56.759 Paris, but in other parts of France as well. There were two schools 195 00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:00.559 in Marseille, one in Dulence of both in the South that beca I'm infected 196 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.799 as bedbugs and then actually had to be closed down for several days to be 197 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:07.399 cleaned out. You also had the deputy mayor of Paris saying that no one 198 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.840 is safe and that there is a wide spread rise in bedbugs. No wants 199 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:15.960 safe, because of course that's prompted concerns. But then you had government officials 200 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.480 later coming out to try and calm the public, you know, reassure people 201 00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:22.279 that everything was under control. The French health minister, for instance, saying 202 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:26.399 there is no reason for widespread panics, that we haven't been invaded by bedbugs. 203 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:31.159 And yesterday we heard from the Transportation minister. He met with several transportation 204 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:35.759 outlets and he also existed there is no outbreak of bedbugs in public transport. 205 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.639 Okay, but people are showing on social media because you hear you think bedbugs 206 00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:46.360 and you think beds, but they're seeing it's in train stations and movie Oh 207 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:48.240 my god. Can you imagine going to a movie and coming out with bedbugs? 208 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:52.320 That's right? Yeah, I mean there's there's definitely a level of paranoia. 209 00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:56.919 I you know, I haven't personally seen any bedbugs, thankfully, but 210 00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.519 I will say I know a number of people who are refusing to sit now 211 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.240 in public transportation, and they're choosing instead to stay out no matter how long 212 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:07.519 their journeys, out of fear that there could be bed bugs in their seats. 213 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:08.840 So you can see on trains where people are going, oh sir, 214 00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:12.639 would you like my seat? No? No, Instead of it being a 215 00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:18.159 nice gesture, are you in you're in Paris right now, I am. 216 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.399 Yes, I'm sure tough assignment in this, okay, So what is what? 217 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:26.240 What are they planning to do about it? It may be, like 218 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:27.679 you said, if it's not an outbreak, it may just be that it 219 00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:33.080 is on social media and they're catching it. But that also makes it look 220 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.519 bad. So what are they going to do? Yeah, I'm gonna say 221 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.519 it was a very glamorous assignment up until this bed bugs issue. But you 222 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:44.080 know, as far as what they're doing, they certainly are. So they're 223 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:47.240 trying. They're really coming out in full forth, trying to reassure the public 224 00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:51.639 that everything is under control, especially because of the upcoming summer Olympics. It 225 00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:55.000 will be held next summer in Paris, so that's going to bring in tons 226 00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:57.440 of people from everywhere. So they are announcing new measures to crack down on 227 00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:03.159 bedbugs, even as theyre insisting there is no reason for widespread panic. The 228 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:08.000 Transport Minister yesterday said that they would be using sniffer dogs now on the Metros 229 00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:15.119 on trains to sniff out these bugs. And we also know the various officials 230 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:21.640 from different ministries are going to be meeting on Friday to also kind of give 231 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:23.759 the French public answers. That's what they keep saying that they're going to give 232 00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:27.400 the public answers regarding this issue. So we'll see if they announced any kind 233 00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:32.240 of new measures, then I think it's widely expected that they will well, 234 00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:36.759 and they could run into some issues too, because if they find the bed 235 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:38.759 bugs and they have to fumigate, because I worked at an office a few 236 00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:44.920 years ago that somehow or another some bed bugs got there and they bring in 237 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:52.279 some deadly stuff to wipe them out because they're not just easily killed. Oh 238 00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:56.279 did we lose in as I goes, I dropped that for a second. 239 00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:00.680 That's what happens when we're intercontinental, we go yeah, so, but like 240 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:04.200 so fumigating the trains and stuff that knocks the trains out of service for like 241 00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.119 a day or so, so that could cause some problems, that's right, 242 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:11.599 Yeah, absolutely, And so that's why I think there's this kind of frenzy 243 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:15.920 to try and deal with this now, you know, ahead of the Olympics, 244 00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:18.319 because there's going to be so many people, They are expecting so many 245 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:22.559 people to come in. They want people to come in. They don't want 246 00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:26.480 to have this image of being a city crawling with I mean quite literally crawling 247 00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:29.599 with bed bugs when you look at these videos, that could turn people away 248 00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:30.759 from coming in the first place. So they want to show that they have 249 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:33.440 it under control. And then yeah, they want to avoid situations like that 250 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.880 where metros need to be fumigated or you know, they have to to stop 251 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:42.000 using certain trains because they are bed bug issues. So there's I think in 252 00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:45.480 the coming weeks we'll see a push to really crack down on this issue. 253 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:51.559 I will say it's also turning political interestingly, so we saw earlier this week 254 00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:53.160 the issue made its way to the floor of the National Assembly. So even 255 00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:56.799 though this is typically an issue that's dealt with at the local level, right 256 00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:00.680 we are seeing members of the federal government talking about at this meeting on Friday 257 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:03.559 will be at the federal level. And we did see one maker on the 258 00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:08.400 floor of the National Assembly grilling the Prime Minister earlier this week and planning years 259 00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:11.519 of inactions on bed bugs. She talked about how millions of people were now 260 00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:15.559 dealing with investations, how they were leaving sleepover bed bugs and growing paranoid and 261 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:21.519 become socially isolated, and she even brought a flat filled with bed bugs with 262 00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:27.079 her of the French National sofully brad and drama. So it's it's it's certainly 263 00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:30.519 a hot topic right now and which is totally getting I think the second is 264 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:33.039 getting so much attention means that they're going to have to find a way to 265 00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:36.720 resolve it. Yep, they got a little over a year and a half 266 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:38.920 to do it. No, nine months to do it. Okay, that's 267 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:41.920 great. Yeah, and I'm supposed to ask you the question, what does 268 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:47.480 a bedbug smell like? I didn't know they smelled. I yeah, I 269 00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:52.960 have no idea, but I guess they must have spent the dogs. These 270 00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:57.839 sniffer dogs will be picking up on. Dogs are really good at sniffing, 271 00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:02.559 you know, various this is out and so these are dogs that have been 272 00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:07.079 specifically trained to pick up their dogs are the best. And as thank you 273 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:12.119 so much. I hope that you avoid any encounters with bed bugs. And 274 00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.839 thank you. That's so much. All right, thank you so much. 275 00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.680 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 276 00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:22.240 hour newsroom.

Detectives from the Sam Bernardino Police Department say they 288 00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:18.359 were tipped off that Fraser was downloading child porn.

Right now, that's better. 309 00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:57.920 Here's what we're doing. There's so much going on for Halloween leading up to 310 00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:03.359 Halloween around southern California that we thought we'd venture out and check some of them 311 00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:06.839 out for you. It's called our Boo Preview. This week, we ventured 312 00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:11.480 out to the Natural History Museum to check out Boney Island. We caught up 313 00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:15.799 with the museum's event manager, Laura Robinson and the creator of Boney Island, 314 00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:22.960 three time Emmy winning producer of The Simpsons, it's Rick Polizzi. We decided 315 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.680 not to go scary this week. It's just good spooky Halloween fun. So 316 00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:30.079 Rick walk us through what we're going to see at Boney Island. Nothing here 317 00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.920 is scary and gory, but it's got a lot of humor, a lot 318 00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:38.319 of subversive humor. Adults are going to get jokes that kids won't. Kids 319 00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:42.319 are going to get jokes that adults really aren't going to know. And I 320 00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:47.039 rely on my daughters to help me with some of that humor as well. 321 00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:52.160 And it's just it's fun. It's the spirit of Halloween. It's an old 322 00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.759 time Halloween feeling where families are around, but we get more adults than kids 323 00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:02.240 because you feel like you're at a a real theme park. Everything's moving, 324 00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:06.440 everything's talking to you. There's jokes all around. Okay, cool, and 325 00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:11.440 we're here during the day, but this place lights up and goes to town 326 00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:17.079 at night. So as you wander through, there's skeletons everywhere. Right, 327 00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:22.319 We have a magic theme, and so we'll have stages around where skeletons are 328 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.359 magicians. They're trying to do tricks. A lot of them are messing up 329 00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:32.200 so and their assistants pay the price for that. But it's all funny things. 330 00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:36.319 So they'll be commenting on how they're messing up the magic as well. 331 00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:40.359 Tell me how did Bonney Island get started, because this is the first year 332 00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:41.960 at the Natural History Museum, but you've been around for a while. Yeah, 333 00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:45.160 we started at my house when my daughter was young. She wanted to 334 00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.039 go to a haunted house. Yep, I told her she wasn't going to 335 00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:52.160 like it because she's scared. She doesn't like scary movies, and with your 336 00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:55.559 daughter ident the right of passage, she wanted to go. She was about 337 00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:59.680 six. She invited a couple of friends. We went to a daytime lights 338 00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:02.720 on thing because I said, we'll try it, because I knew she wasn't 339 00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:06.079 gonna like it. And as soon as we walked in, they all started 340 00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:08.960 screaming, pulling on me, and I knew they wanted to get out. 341 00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:12.680 So I said, all right, we'll run through this and then we'll go 342 00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:21.359 home and we'll try to create our own display that's fun and and everybody can 343 00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:25.799 get involved with. So it was at my house for twenty years. It 344 00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:30.880 was a gigantic meeting place. Families would come by, everybody, people from 345 00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:34.680 movies and TV that you would see all the time were always there every year. 346 00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:38.839 And then it got too big. Our last year at my house we 347 00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:44.000 had about fifty thousand people over ten days. Oh my goodness. Yeah. 348 00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:49.039 So the house we got shut down by the city and we moved to Griffith 349 00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:53.920 Park and then that was yeah. And then COVID came along, you know, 350 00:25:55.160 --> 00:26:00.880 and messed all that up. So we are now at the Museum of 351 00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:04.319 Natural History. Laurel invited us over. She had been to my house many 352 00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:11.960 times, and everybody just seems to take to the spirited atmosphere absolutely. Now, 353 00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:15.400 Laurel, we are going to walk around just a little bit. Sure 354 00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:18.000 this is all an outside, that's right. Yeah. It's taking place in 355 00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.200 our three and a half acre nature gardens, which is a really fun way 356 00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.079 to activate the gardens in a new way. I know, because the gardens 357 00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:27.680 are so beautiful anyway, they really are, and I think at night it 358 00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:32.759 really transforms to this wonderland that Reck and his team have created. So we're 359 00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:37.559 really excited about how this program will be both new for our museum visitors and 360 00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.599 members, but also a new space for the loyal fans of Bonnie Island to 361 00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:45.640 come to the museum that might not have been here before. Cool and when 362 00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:47.759 you come out at night, About how long does it take to go through 363 00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:51.039 the If you're going to wander around the whole exhibit, you can expect an 364 00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:53.759 hour to an hour and a half to see, you know, everything, 365 00:26:55.039 --> 00:27:00.640 and you'll be going longer than that because there's tons of stuff you're gonna miss. 366 00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:06.960 We have little things hidden. We have skeletal hummingbirds, a skeleton butterflies 367 00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:12.160 floating around and they're moving and flitting their wings. So you're always going to 368 00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:17.240 see a lot of stuff on your second past. Okay. And right behind 369 00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:19.359 us, here's something that you might miss the first go around. That's a 370 00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:23.599 squirrel in a tree. But it's gonna be animated. Fine. The vines 371 00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:29.359 are all going up and down. There's cats chasing the squirrels in the trees. 372 00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:32.359 Love. It's fun. So you're gonna hear jokes. Yeah, I 373 00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:34.799 want to stress that we get more adults than kids. Okay, so it's 374 00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:40.359 not just for kids. You're gonna hear a lot of humor throughout the whole 375 00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:45.359 the whole display. Laurel, when can we come to Boney Island? So, 376 00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:49.759 Boney Island is open Thursdays through Sundays through Halloween six pm until ten pm. 377 00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:52.640 Okay, and we're just we're really thrilled and we think it's going to 378 00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.640 be a huge hit.

And like he was saying, he does it. It's 388 00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:33.359 not spook, it's not scary, it's not bloody and that kind of stuff. 389 00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:37.799 It's just really cool and so inventive. I mean, he's he's a 390 00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.440 producer of The Simpsons. This guy's got it going on in the creative department. 391 00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:44.200 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty 392 00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:47.880 four hour newsroom. Three people in Azusab been killed in a crash that involved 393 00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:52.480 two motorcycles and several cars. Please say the motorcycles were speeding on Errow Highway 394 00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:57.759 yesterday afternoon when they collided with cars at an intersection. One of the motorcycles 395 00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:03.200 flew and killed a pedestrian. Both riders were also killed. A man who 396 00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:08.880 allegedly spray painted swastikas on thirteen cars parked on streets across La has been arrested. 397 00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:14.279 Officials say people discovered their cars vandalized on Saturday morning. The man was 398 00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:18.359 taken into custody on Tuesday. The company that made parts for a ghost gun 399 00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:22.720 used to shoot to La County Sheriff's deputies, as settled a lawsuit filed by 400 00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:26.119 the deputies. The deputy say a background check was never done on Deontay Murray, 401 00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:30.279 the man who was convicted last month of shooting the deputies in twenty twenty. 402 00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:33.920 Claudia A pullinar on Emmanuel Pettes. Petes says they were shot with an 403 00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:37.319 unserialized Palmer eighty firearm and was originally bought as a kit in California from either 404 00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:41.480 Palmer eighty or one of its third party distributors. Palmer eighty says Murray did 405 00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:47.000 not specifically seek out their parts and the company has been mischaracterized in the lawsuit. 406 00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:49.680 Murray obtained the parts for the gun while on parole and legally not allowed 407 00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:53.680 to possess a firearm. He's facing a life sentence in prison. Steve Gregory 408 00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:59.880 King of Fine News. Norwegian author Jan Fassi has been awarded the Nobel Prize 409 00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.880 Literature. The Swedish Academy says Fanse was chosen for, as they put it, 410 00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:08.559 his innovative plays and pros which give voice to the unsayable. Of course, 411 00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:11.920 the big one. The Nobel Peace Prize, will be awarded tomorrow. 412 00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:18.160 Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro majorcis Is called for construction of a border wall in parts 413 00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:22.279 of Texas. Mayorka cited what he called an acute and immediate need to waive 414 00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.200 federal laws to build the wall in parts of Texas where legal migration has been 415 00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:30.079 surging. The parents of two teens shot and killed by another student at Saugus 416 00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:34.839 High School in twenty nineteen have filed court papers demanding fifty million dollars from the 417 00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:38.839 william S. Hart Union High School District. The district says it is not 418 00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:44.599 at fault for the shooting because it was an unforseeable terrorist act. The Arizona 419 00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:48.640 Diamondbacks have swept their wild Card series against Milwaukee. What does that mean? 420 00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.200 It means the Diamondbacks will be taking on the LA Dodgers in the best of 421 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:57.960 five National League Division Series. It starts Saturday night at Dodger Stadium with Clayton 422 00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:02.640 Kershaw on the map. We're just minutes away from Handle. On the news 423 00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:04.640 this morning, La County is looking at a plan to buy up your medical 424 00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:08.680 debt and then forgive it. Bill. I'll tell you more about that right 425 00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:14.759 now. Let's say good morning to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. With Kevin McCarthy out, 426 00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:17.480 Stephen, lawmakers are throwing their hats in the ring to replace him. 427 00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:21.079 Who's in so far? Hey, good morning Amy. Two boldface names Jim 428 00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:23.680 Jordan, the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee YEP, founding member of the 429 00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:27.759 Freedom Caucus, someone well known to viewers of Fox News, a friend of 430 00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:33.240 the former President Donald Trump. The other name boldfaced is Steve Scalise, currently 431 00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:38.000 the senior member of the House Republican Conference, the majority leader. Someone who 432 00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:42.319 has been in the leadership for quite some time, and it would be natural 433 00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:47.559 for the Majority leader to step forward and want to be the next Speaker of 434 00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:51.400 the House. There are other names that could emerge. One that's been talked 435 00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:53.400 about is Kevin Hearn, the head of something called the Republican Study Committee, 436 00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:56.799 which is a sort of a sort of a think tank or a thought laboratory 437 00:31:57.279 --> 00:32:02.440 for Republicans and perhaps others. But for the moment, the race is a 438 00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:09.240 two man race between Scalise and Jordan, and typically these sort of jockeying over 439 00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:14.599 a Republican leadership happens behind closed doors and is not often talked about publicly. 440 00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:17.319 But there's a white hot spotlight on it now in the aftermath of this week's 441 00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:23.279 successful coup toppling Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House. Now it's been said 442 00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:30.079 that there is a whisper campaign going on around town that McCarthy is urging, 443 00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:34.759 through his aids, people to vote for Jordan and not Scalise, who was, 444 00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:38.599 in theory his lieutenant as the majority leader. There has been reported to 445 00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:45.000 be some tension, a rivalry between McCarthy and Scalise dating back several years, 446 00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:51.400 and that's one emblem of the tension that continues to linger in the House Republican 447 00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:55.279 conference. Okay, so then when you're looking at who might be a viable 448 00:32:55.519 --> 00:33:00.680 person to take over the speakership, like the one guy we hadn't hurt his 449 00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:05.480 name before this week, Does somebody who doesn't have a big national profile, 450 00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:07.880 do they even have a shot at it is. That why we're saying it's 451 00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:10.720 pretty much between Scalice and Jordan. I think it's less likely that someone who's 452 00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:15.359 not well known to the country is going to become the next Speaker of the 453 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:17.359 House, but then again, that's how someone becomes known to the country. 454 00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:24.799 I think ultimately it's a choice for Republicans to make based on how the individual 455 00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:29.079 who makes that the argument that they can thread the needle can bring people together. 456 00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:30.440 It's not just about the person, mind you, It's also about the 457 00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:35.559 policy and procedure. What was the trouble for Kevin McCarthy not that people didn't 458 00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:38.480 like him well to hear it from him, He said it was personal between 459 00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:42.920 him and Gates, but Gates would insist it was about policy and process. 460 00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:47.599 So the difficulty for any one of these individuals who hopes to not just win 461 00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:52.279 the support of the conference but also win a majority on the floor, preferably 462 00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:55.640 on the first ballot, is that they have to convince both the far right 463 00:33:55.759 --> 00:34:01.720 and the moderates looking conference that they will be there for them, and the 464 00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:07.880 moderates are going to want a rules change that would prevent the insurgents from doing 465 00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:09.440 what they successfully did this time. That's what he's just going to ask you 466 00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:15.119 about. Are they going to keep that? One person can can to vacate? 467 00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:19.519 Right, it's an open question, and it does he still wants it 468 00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:22.440 exactly and why wouldn't he, right, why would he give it up? 469 00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:28.559 And so look for the remainder of the one hundred eighteenth Congress, which runs 470 00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:36.079 for another year and change a year and four months almost this is going to 471 00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:40.880 be a real challenge for whoever becomes the Speaker of the House to have to 472 00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:47.679 worry about the potential that an insurgent could could move to oust him. And 473 00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:53.800 there really is no power that the Speaker has unless he can work across the 474 00:34:53.840 --> 00:35:00.639 aisle and convince Democrats to change the rules along with him and majority of the 475 00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:04.440 Republican Conference. And we'll see if that happens, because I'll tell you there's 476 00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:07.760 a school of thought here. The Democrats are really enjoying watching this show, 477 00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:13.079 and yet they may be sorry what they wished for, because it'll be very 478 00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:17.559 difficult for Democrats to achieve the kind of bipartisanship that they have so far in 479 00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:23.760 this Congress, getting a debt deal done, getting the cr passed that staves 480 00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:29.320 off a government shutdown through November seventeenth with a Republican speaker who's further to the 481 00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:30.559 right than a guy like Kevin McCarthy. Right, I was going to say, 482 00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:36.880 And McCarthy was somebody who actually worked with them, and everybody voted against 483 00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:40.639 him. So yeah, and by the way, begrudgingly and yet said things 484 00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:45.639 that so angered and enabled the far right to a point where it's so angered 485 00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:51.559 Democrats that they were willing to vote with the eight Republican insurgents to oust McCarthy. 486 00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:55.159 So where things go and House of Representation in terms of the proper order 487 00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:58.800 and function of it, I don't know, Okay, So just real quick. 488 00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:02.199 So we've got the main two right now. Is it likely that they 489 00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:06.320 will be running against each other when they put it up for a vote, 490 00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:08.559 or is it more likely that one of them will kind of seed and then 491 00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:13.079 we'll just put one person up for a vote. This is a race for 492 00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:16.679 the Republican Conference nomination, and ultimately the conference will make a choice. I 493 00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:22.599 think it'd be very unlikely for the contenders to continue to take that fight beyond 494 00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:25.639 the conference onto the floor. But the bigger question is where do the holdouts 495 00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:30.760 and who do the holdout support and how long will it take to elect another 496 00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:36.760 speaker? Yeah? Okay, well, next up is they're going to start 497 00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:39.440 fighting it out on Tuesday, and then they're supposed to be starting a vote 498 00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:45.239 for speaker on Wednesday. Right. If they feel they can achieve it, 499 00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:49.719 they will probably move to a vote on Wednesday. So one caveat stall. 500 00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:52.280 That's stuff, right, That's exactly right.
