Good morning, I'm Amy King. Did you see the moon? 6 00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:40.359 The moon was shining bright on the way and not quite full, but if 7 00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.600 you get a chance, take a peek out the window. It's very pretty 8 00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:49.079 this morning. It's National Morning Show host Day. I just found this out. 9 00:00:49.479 --> 00:00:52.159 One of our news editors told us that, so in honor of it, 10 00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.439 I'm gonna salute myself. No, actually, in honor of it, 11 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:02.359 I'm going to watch the next episode of the Morning Show on Apple TV today. 12 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:08.040 Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. The writers strike over the WGA 13 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:12.000 accepted the agreement worked out with Hollywood Studios. That means writers can go back 14 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:17.120 to work. Union members will still have to vote to ratify the new contract. 15 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:21.680 Target is closing nine stores in four states, including three in the Bay 16 00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.239 Area, because of thefts that the stores. Target says it has tried additional 17 00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:33.680 security security guards, other tactics. None of it's worked. The stores are 18 00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:37.680 going to close October twenty first. President Biden's going to be meeting with science 19 00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:41.879 and tech advisors today in San Francisco. He'll be attending a fundraiser hosted by 20 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:46.920 Facebook co founder Andrew McCollum. He was at a fundraiser last night. Tickets 21 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:52.560 for that one sold out. The pricing for those five thousand to one hundred 22 00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:56.159 thousand dollars. At six oh five, it's handled on the news. The 23 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.319 Senate has reached a deal to keep the lights on in DC. But it's 24 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:04.079 farm a done deal. Let's get started with some of the stories coming out 25 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.519 of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. As I just mentioned, the Hollywood 26 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.560 writers strike has officially ended. Two days after a tentative deal was reached with 27 00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:15.520 Hollywood's biggest studios, The WGA announced it had approved a contract that addresses labor 28 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:20.919 concerns. Actor known as G Money says he hopes sagafter can now get back 29 00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:23.599 to the bargaining table, as too many actors aren't making enough money. We 30 00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.439 go with it, but sometimes it's not just about the money. It is 31 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.840 about the reward of what you get afterwards, and you just don't know where 32 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:32.800 a project's gonna go, where a word's gonna head to Writers ended the nearly 33 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:37.719 five month long strike at twelve or one am this morning. The contract will 34 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:42.879 need to be ratified by the WGA in early October. Chris Adler KFI News, 35 00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.120 a man who spent the last twenty eight years in prison for a rape 36 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:52.879 in Southgate has been exonerated Holly County DA Gascon says Gerardo Kavanius was eighteen when 37 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.879 he was arrested by the Southgate Police Department, and because of new DNA technology, 38 00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:00.759 Kavanius was set free through the efforts of the Innocence Project. Sir key, 39 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:05.400 yes, I command you or your incredible strength and resilience. You're on 40 00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:10.000 wavering determination to prove your innocence in the face of nymarguable. The versity is 41 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:14.719 a testament to human spirit. Gasco and says another man had been identified in 42 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.599 the rape, but it's not known if his investigators will pursue him. Steve 43 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:23.520 Gregory King if I News LAPD officers have fatally shot a dog who bit a 44 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.759 man in downtown LA. The shooting happened early yesterday when officers were sent to 45 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.159 Seventh Street and Gladys Avenue. The man bitten was taken to the hospital. 46 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:37.759 The San Francisco mayor has put up a proposal that would require low income residents 47 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.840 to be screened for drugs and get treatment if they're on them in order to 48 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:46.400 get welfare. But no more anything goes without accountability, no more handouts without 49 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:52.879 accountability. Red announced the proposal yesterday, saying it's time for some tough love. 50 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.479 We have to get, as I said earlier, comfortable with being uncomfortable 51 00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:00.639 and making really hard decisions like this one ordered to get our city into a 52 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.520 better place and in order to prevent people from dying from drug overdoses on our 53 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:10.080 streets. Mayor Breed says it's time to take a different approach to solve San 54 00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:15.000 Francisco's drug and homelessness problem. Breed's proposal would need to be approved by the 55 00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.720 Board of Supervisors to become law. A judge in New York has ruled former 56 00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:23.920 President Trump committed systemic fraud lying for years about his net worth by inflating the 57 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:28.519 value of his real estate portfolio, saying Trump inflated the value of his Fifth 58 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:33.120 Avenue apartment by as much US two hundred million dollars, Also striking Trump's claimed 59 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:38.680 that Mara Lago was worth up to six hundred million dollars when it's assessed that 60 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:43.480 no more than twenty seven million. Abcsm Wins says. The judge yesterday said 61 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:47.800 Trump's fraudulent valuations were meant to reap the benefits of better loan and insurance terms. 62 00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.839 The state's civil case is scheduled to go to trial next week. Trump's 63 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.639 lawyers say they plan to appeal. We're going to take a closer look at 64 00:04:55.680 --> 00:05:00.360 this with Aaron Katurski in just a few minutes. North Korea, it has 65 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.600 decided to expel the US soldier who illegally crossed into the country in July. 66 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:09.800 North Korean state media saying that they have conducted an investigation and that King allegedly 67 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:15.279 had ill feelings over inhumane treatment and racial discrimination within the US Army. ABC's 68 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.759 Marcus Moore says it's not clear when Private Travis King will be returned to the 69 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:24.439 US. He was being sent home from South Korea to face disciplinary measures when 70 00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:29.160 he ran across the border into North Korea. Let's say good morning to ABC 71 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.959 National Politics reporter Brittany Shephard. Good morning, Brittany. We've got a debate 72 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:39.600 tonight in our very own backyard at the Ronald Reagan National Library in Simi Valley. 73 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:44.040 Tell us who's in it, yeah, and what can we expect to 74 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.480 see? Good morning. It's kind of a repeat of the first debate, 75 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.800 Sam as it ever was, as we say so, the candidates on stage, 76 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:56.839 it's everyone from the first debate save one person, but former Arkansas Governor 77 00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.600 Asa Hutchinson. It didn't make polling or donor fresholds. So some background can 78 00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:06.279 It seeded at least three percent support in two national polls or three percent in 79 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:11.199 one national poll as well as two polls from the four early voting stage. 80 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:15.079 That's Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina, and then there's some 81 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.519 donor thresholds too. Asa wasn't able to reach any of those. So instead 82 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:23.839 he's following former President Donald Trump, who's surprised is skipping out on this debate 83 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:29.079 as well and heading to Detroit instead to speak to auto workers, footballer workers, 84 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:33.399 essentially probably some Trump supporters too. This comes just a day after remend 85 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:40.040 President Joe Biden, who was just in Michigan yesterday striking with UHW workers. 86 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:44.120 The first time seeking president has ever done that. So some counter programming and 87 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.519 a split screen from Trump, ASA thinks, well, if I can't make 88 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.319 the debate stage, let me at least go to the guy who we haven't 89 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:53.759 been able to pin down at all. Now, Donald Trump hasn't really hit 90 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:57.600 the campaign trail in the way that of the other candidate pass so they haven't 91 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.079 had the opportunity to have that confrontation or praise and if that's what they'd like 92 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.439 to do, so that's gonna be interesting happening at Michigan at the very exact 93 00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:08.480 same time as all those other folks are on stage and Semi Valley at the 94 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.079 ray Vans are very jealous and not going to be there. It's good over 95 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:15.720 over there in California, ste's here in DC, and it's gonna be really 96 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.279 interesting to see who is able to break out because a couple of people on 97 00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:21.800 that stage really need a big moment. That's Florida Governor run to Santis, 98 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:27.160 you know, former Vice president and like Pence Worth, Dacota Governor, Doug 99 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:31.360 Burgham South Carolina sunder Tim Scott, former South Carolina Governor Nicky Haley, and 100 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:36.639 of course entrepreneur of the zach Ramaswamy. Because right now all of those people 101 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:41.959 are running about forty points south of Donald Trump, and if they're unable to 102 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:44.600 make a moment today, you know, it canna be really tricky for them. 103 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:46.160 Yeah, and I thought the last debate, I think that that it 104 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.839 was interesting. I liked to hear from some of them. But you've just 105 00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:55.800 felt like the big dog wasn't there, and I think we're going to feel 106 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.800 that again tonight. And he wasn't there, but his spirit was there. 107 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.480 If you guys remember from that first I think the audience was like Trump's Greek 108 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.319 courts. If folks came on stage and they criticized Trump, they were screaming 109 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:09.079 and yelling at the stage, and if there was something that, you know, 110 00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.920 Trump, they were trying to teut Trump's record. The audience was with 111 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.079 cheering and laughing, and so much so that the moderors a turn around and 112 00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.000 say, hey, guys, maybe quite general a little bit when you get 113 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.759 through two hours of programming. And so I'll be really curious to see how 114 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:26.399 large Trump moves. Remember the indictments for kind of Top of Mind about a 115 00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:30.480 month ago. Right now we're looking at a government shutdown in about three or 116 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.279 four days if Congress can't get something past here. We have an actual senator 117 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.480 on stage today, so I think there's an opportunity to talk a little bit 118 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.799 more about policy. Immigration is prop of mind for Republicans right now as we're 119 00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.279 seeing this migrant flux, you know, in across the southern border in eco 120 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:46.840 kinds in Texas, and that's you know, kind of been top of mind 121 00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.639 on Fox News every single day, and the flox business is moderating. So 122 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.080 I think it's really on these moderators to see how they could control how much 123 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.879 of the conversation veers into I am like Trump? Where aren't I am not 124 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:03.159 like Trump? For twys the ways instead of here all the policies through about 125 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.600 things icy and burn. Here's why you should vote for me. Yeah, 126 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.159 and then after tonight there's another debate. Is it next month? Yeah, 127 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:15.559 it's next month, and it's going to be in Miami and the pulling thresholds, 128 00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:20.240 which yeah, hopefully just go down to that one. There's one percent 129 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.159 higher, so it's used to get four percent in all of those pools and 130 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.159 one hundred thousand more donors than you had to this time and this is around 131 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:30.919 the window when people start dropping out. Asa Hudgerson says he's not going to 132 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.080 drop out until maybe November when he reassesses with the state of his campaign. 133 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:39.519 But there's a lot of people on that stage shagging. People were about four 134 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.120 and a half months away from Iowa pocket seeing. Usually there's less than seven 135 00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.840 people as an option, so probably be curious to see who kind of winnows 136 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:48.919 off and starts endorsing. Yep. Well, either way, I'm going to 137 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.480 be watching tonight because I'm fascinated by debates. Even when I don't agree with 138 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.320 everything's on what's being said on stage, I just dig watching them. So 139 00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:00.879 thank you so much for your insight and your information. In Britney Shepherd with 140 00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:05.159 ABC appreciate it, of course. By all right, let's get back to 141 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.720 some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Officials 142 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:13.799 in La say renters have accumulated more than one hundred eighty six million dollars in 143 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.919 back rent. Landlords filed around fifty thousand eviction notices from February to August. 144 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:24.200 Apartment Association of Greater Las Daniel Jugleson says one factor and back rent is the 145 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.279 major Hollywood strikes. If to look at some of these zip codes where a 146 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.320 large number of these three day notices are being issued, there zip codes that 147 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:37.600 are nearby major studios or major production facilities. Hollywood had the most notices that 148 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:43.120 nearly thirty six hundred ninety one percent of renters were given three day notices. 149 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:48.639 Blake Trolley k if I News. The Early School District has rescinded it's COVID 150 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:54.320 nineteen vaccine mandate for employees, contractors, vendors, volunteers, and charter schools. 151 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.440 The movie Yesterday ended a policy that's been in place for over two years 152 00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:01.200 and has led to several lawsuits. The district says the decision comes in light 153 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:07.240 of evolving medical data and in consultation with local health authorities. A bill signed 154 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.039 in the law by Governor Newsom is one of the package of bills that are 155 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:16.559 intended to reduce gun violence in California. San Fernando Valle Assemblyman Jesse Gabriel authored 156 00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.679 the bill. The places an eleven percent tax on gunmakers. This tax would 157 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.720 fund school safety, proven violence prevention measures, and a bunch of gun safety 158 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.720 measures that have proven to keep our communities safe, including things like removing guns 159 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:35.039 from domestic abusers. Gabriel says the law will generate one hundred sixty million dollars 160 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.200 annually. Senate leaders have announced a bill to fund the federal government through mid 161 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:45.840 November and avoid a shutdown. ABC's Stephen Portnoy says it provides additional funding for 162 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.559 disaster relief and four and a half billion dollars in aid for Ukraine. But 163 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.639 Speaker Kevin McCarthy has been warned by far right Republicans to not put such a 164 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.639 measure on the floor of the House. If he does, it would probably 165 00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:00.799 pass with bipartisan support, but it might also put his speaker ship in peril. 166 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:03.559 The White House says it's up to House Speaker McCarthy to keep the budget 167 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:09.440 deal he made with President Biden. He a NASA astronaut who broke the record 168 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.399 for spending the most time in space by an American, is back on Earth. 169 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:20.679 Frank Rubio and two cosmonauts returned home aboard a Soyo Soyo's spacecraft. It 170 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:26.159 undocked from the International Space Station this morning. Rubio has been spaced out for 171 00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:31.559 three hundred and seventy one days. They landed in Kazakhstan around seven am this 172 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:37.320 morning, Eastern Time, and it is National Chocolate Milk Day. The chocolate 173 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.360 in goodness can be traced back to eighteen sixty seven, when an Irish botanist 174 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:46.000 working as a physician to a duke in Jamaica was introduced to the country's popular 175 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.320 chocolate water. He thought the drinks were too bitter, so he added milk 176 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:52.759 to make it taste better. Then he took it back to Europe and spread 177 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.480 the word about its health benefits like calcium in protein. It's now one of 178 00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:01.159 the most popular drinks out there, with eight out of ten Americans drinking it 179 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.080 at least once a week. That's a lot of people drinking chocolate milk. 180 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.759 I haven't had chocolate milk since I was a kid. Oh well, maybe 181 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.960 I should go try it. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Semi Valley will 182 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:16.600 host the Republican Presidential Debate second one. Seven candidates will be on stage, 183 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:22.440 one less than last time because Asa Hutchinson didn't make the cut. Florida Governor 184 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:26.120 Rhonda Santis will be sitting in the or standing in the center spot. Former 185 00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:31.080 President Trump is skipping this one. LA County is going to spend fifteen point 186 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.519 six million dollars on efforts to stop organized retail theft. The La Canny Board 187 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.559 of Supervisors voted yesterday to spend the money. It's going to come from a 188 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.720 state grant. Following a rise in smash and grab and flash mob style robberies 189 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:50.000 in recent months, two men who climbed half Dome at Yosemite have been struck 190 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.080 by lightning during a storm. One guy was hit in the knee, the 191 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:56.240 other in the back of the head. Both were able to make it back 192 00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:01.639 down safely with their group after this storm passed. That's got to be scary. 193 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.159 At six oh five. It's handled on the news. Of course, 194 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:07.720 the writers can go back to work after one hundred forty eight days. Bill's 195 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.279 gonna tell you what they got in their new deal. But right now, 196 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:20.159 let's say good morning to ABC's senior investigating reporter, Aaron katski erin good morning, 197 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:24.879 Not a good day for former President Trump? Huh No, it wasn't. 198 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.840 Because a judge here in New York ruled Amy that he is liable for 199 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:37.240 fraud over a number of years, fraudulently inflating the value of his net worth 200 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:46.120 by overstating what his vast real estate portfolio is really worth. He has properties 201 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:52.559 all over the world. They are assessed at certain amounts, and Trump repeatedly, 202 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:58.639 the judge's ruling said, on financial statements that were turned over to lenders 203 00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:05.679 and insurance companies and the like, repeatedly overvalued his properties. He tripled the 204 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:11.879 square footage artificially of his triplex apartment in Trump Tower. He said that his 205 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:18.840 Mara Lago state in Palm Beach, which was assessed at twenty seven million dollars, 206 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.879 was worth six hundred million dollars, and all told, overstated his own 207 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:28.600 net work by as much as two point two billion dollars. And that's what 208 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:35.360 I remember a long time ago. Everybody's screaming about this, saying, you 209 00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.320 gotta let your taxes out, you got to give us financial statements, and 210 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.679 he wouldn't do it. But they've accused him of that for years and years. 211 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:48.720 So when you say that he is liable for fraud, what is that? 212 00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.440 What does that mean? Well, the ruling does have immediate consequences, 213 00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:56.320 and this is all the result of a civil lawsuit filed by the Attorney General 214 00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.279 here in New York, Latitia James, And so there will be a trial 215 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.960 schedule to start next week. That will determine how much he's got to pay 216 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:10.440 in penalties, and the Attorney General's office has asked for at least fifty million 217 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:15.279 dollars in financial penalties. But there are consequences beyond that. The judge's ruling 218 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:22.440 means amy that Trump can no longer operate in New York. And while we 219 00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:27.960 don't exactly know all of the potential fallout from that, it appears that the 220 00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:33.360 ruling means he'll have to give up control of some of his properties here in 221 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:37.639 New York. So the very smell there, his need in the city that 222 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:44.159 made him famous, he may be forced to sell. And the judge can 223 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:48.960 say, okay, you did this, and so we're taking your we're taking 224 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.720 all of your licenses away, or something like that. Well, yeah, 225 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:57.480 he granted the Attorney General's motion for partial summary judgments. So in effect, 226 00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:04.519 the judge decided the evidence of the fraud was so egregious and clear that there 227 00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:10.000 didn't even need to be a trial with evidence and testimony. Now there still 228 00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:14.200 will be to determine the discorchment and a few and a few other issues, 229 00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:18.960 but the judge has, you know, without trial even beginning, has already 230 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:23.000 decided the core of the case, and that is that the statements of financial 231 00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:29.759 condition that Trump submitted were fraudulent, okay. And so by elevating the value 232 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:34.119 of his holdings and his apartments and all of that stuff, how did he 233 00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:38.240 benefit for it? He got like better better interest rates or something when he 234 00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:45.119 did loans. That's exactly it. He duped lenders and insurance companies and other 235 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:51.680 business partners into giving him better terms than he otherwise would have deserved. And 236 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.079 the Attorney General's office says that that meant, you know, the playing field 237 00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:00.000 wasn't even Trump has always denied wrongdoing. He says that you know, his 238 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:07.559 his uh, his portfolio is worth what it's worth, because he's got he's 239 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:10.720 called up priceless or compared it to priceless works. The part he says he 240 00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:15.799 has the mona lisis of properties. Judge said, that's that's just not that's 241 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.880 it's not right according to the ruling, all right, And does this have 242 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:22.240 any effect on his campaign or his ability to run for president? Because it 243 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:26.000 doesn't, because it's civil right, it does. It does not have any 244 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:29.200 effect. It's a civil case, not a criminal case. And and you 245 00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:33.400 know, even then he could run. But but it does undercut what had 246 00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:38.279 been his central message, right, and that is he's a successful businessman, 247 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:42.960 you know, and and therefore deserves to run the country. And you know, 248 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.599 the success came on the back of a fraud according to this ruling. 249 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.960 Now, is that ultimately going to matter with his supporters? You tend to 250 00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:55.599 doubt it based on his standing in the polls. A lot of us, 251 00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:59.720 I think has been you know, out there for a long time. But 252 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:06.039 it is potentially, you know, financially anyway, devastating for the former president. 253 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:08.200 All Right, Aaron Katurski, thanks so much for explaining it all to 254 00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:11.720 us. Thank you, Emmie. All right, have a great day. 255 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:14.599 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 256 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.160 hour newsroom. President Biden has traveled to northern California to raise money for his 257 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.759 reelection campaign. Tickets for last night's sold out reception in the Bay Area ranged 258 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.799 from five thousand to one hundred thousand dollars. Biden today is set to meet 259 00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:30.440 with his Council of Advisors on Science and Technology in San Francisco before he heads 260 00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:36.880 to another fundraiser hosted by Facebook co founder Andrew McCollum Biden, then we'll be 261 00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:42.400 back in Northern California for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summer Summer not Summer Summit 262 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:48.480 in November. Corrections deputy with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department has been charged with 263 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:52.839 a series of sexual offenses, including exploiting female inmates at a medium security facility. 264 00:19:53.240 --> 00:20:00.559 Prosecutors say Christian Heideker recorded sexual encounters with inmates and then black mailed them. 265 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.839 Heid occur is in jail on a million dollars bail. Bailey Kenny Board 266 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.680 of Supervisors has approved a nearly two and a half two point six million dollars 267 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:12.759 settlement with a fire captain hurt when a fellow firefighter fatally shot another colleague in 268 00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:18.519 twenty twenty one. Supervisor Katherine Barger says the shooting at Station eighty one in 269 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.400 Agua Dulce left the community with trauma. It is my hope that with the 270 00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:29.519 new leadership change at our county's fire department and a greater focus on employee wellness, 271 00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.960 an incident like this will be prevented and never occur again. The injured 272 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:40.000 captain sued the county last January, alleging serious injury, including paralysis. The 273 00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:45.559 lawsuit says superiors knew the off duty shooter had a history of combative behavior. 274 00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:51.839 You heard me talking with rich de Muro about this when he was telling us 275 00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:56.799 about the launch of the iPhone fifteen, and that was that Apple has plans 276 00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:02.839 to go carbon new troll, and one of the ways that they're planning to 277 00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:07.799 do that is by introducing their new fine woven textile that they say is going 278 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:12.359 to replace all the leather that they use on like watch bands and on iPhone 279 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:18.319 cases and that kind of thing. It's sixty eight percent post consumer recycled material, 280 00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:22.440 and you know, Apple was touting it as the next great thing, 281 00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:26.640 but apparently it's a bust. So the new watches are out and the new 282 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:32.880 phones are out, and people are buying this fine woven thing that for phones. 283 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:36.799 It's a phone to a phone case is fifty nine bucks, which is 284 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:40.240 ten dollars more than the plastic or silicone versions, and of course it's a 285 00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:42.799 lot more experience expensive than one of the cases that you get on Amazon. 286 00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:49.319 But one blogger said that the holes on the case don't line up with the 287 00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:55.599 port on the phone or the speakers, and from past experience with old iPhones, 288 00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:57.319 that's a pain in the butt, okay. And then another one, 289 00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:04.079 Federico Vetici, who is a blogger and podcaster and runs the Max Stories site, 290 00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:10.680 says that it's awful. It scratches, it stains, it has this 291 00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:14.720 weird slippery feel, and he said, I honestly think this is one of 292 00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:18.400 the worst accessories Apple has ever produced. He says, I may just throw 293 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:25.119 this out now. That's not great for the environment. So Apple's new fine 294 00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:27.400 woven. I haven't tried it out yet. I haven't seen it yet, 295 00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:30.680 but I don't know that. I'm going to run to the store to go 296 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:33.400 get it after hearing the reviews on it. Right now, we're going to 297 00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:38.680 check in with our very own Steve Gregory and Iraq war veteran from Torrance is 298 00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:44.279 fighting to honor his dying parents wish. Sam Leon Junior used to work full 299 00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:48.480 time for the federal government, but he had to quit to work full time 300 00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:51.359 at home. They have to be here twenty four seven. Unfortunately, my 301 00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:53.440 father and my mother they have false and I'm the only when it's here, 302 00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:56.759 and I have to take care of him every little need that they need. 303 00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:00.079 That's what I'm here. For Sam says, things used to be okay, 304 00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.680 but all of a sudden, it seemed like everything came crashing down at once. 305 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:10.079 Well, my father beat cancer one time three years ago, and I 306 00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:14.640 guess the lack of checking up on him through the VA. He recently had 307 00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:17.720 to do a couple of ER visits at the beginning of this year, and 308 00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:21.119 we had to do a proximate. On the fourth er visit, that's when 309 00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:25.680 they determined that his cancer was back and it had spread aggressively, and that 310 00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:30.240 he was stage four type of cancer in this case, said was bladder cancer 311 00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:34.759 that spread to his rectum. You were talking about the VA not keeping an 312 00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:38.920 eye on him, so you've did Was he another one of these mini statistics 313 00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:42.720 in the VA that goes unchecked? Correct? What did the VA tell you 314 00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:48.039 when you know, faced with this? Sorry? And while dealing with that 315 00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:52.319 diagnosis, Sam was faced with even more bad news. What about your mom? 316 00:23:52.839 --> 00:24:00.200 One? Was her diagnosis? She's had delivered disease now for I believe 317 00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:04.720 about three years that we know of that dementia just happened at the beginning of 318 00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:11.039 this year as well, and it just progressively gotten worse. Sam's mom is 319 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:14.319 in the hospital going through tests, but I was able to meet his dad, 320 00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:18.279 Sam Senior. They all lived together in a modest department in Torrance. 321 00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:22.480 Sam's dad is a Vietnam veteran and it's been going to the VA for medical 322 00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:26.680 care. It was soon after Sam's dad was given the bad news it was 323 00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:29.640 time to act. He had a talk with my mom before she was completely 324 00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:33.279 gone mentally, and they both agreed that they would like to be buried together, 325 00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:38.920 which brings us now to your dilemma. So being buried together is as 326 00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:44.079 a costly venture. Did you start to research and try to figure this out? 327 00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:48.079 Yes, I went to the cemetery. I went to the service hall. 328 00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:52.960 Basically, if my dad let's the VIA take him, we don't know 329 00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:56.759 what cemetery he's going to end up in because they're all getting full. The 330 00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:02.519 LA's full, Riverside's full. Possibly San Diego he can get in, but 331 00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:04.359 since him and my mother weren't married when he was in service, and she's 332 00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:08.920 not a veteran, they won't put her with him. So it's either that 333 00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:12.240 I let them take him and then I gotta figure out what I'm gonna do 334 00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:15.559 with my mom, or in this case, I just keep them together. 335 00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:18.440 And I keep him here in the South Bay or my dad is from. 336 00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.839 Sam Senior says he's accepted his fate, but the thought of being buried alone 337 00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.200 without his wife next to him scares him. I think it would. It 338 00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:32.079 would make me feel so much better if I knew for sure where I was 339 00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:37.440 going to have my last resting spot, and being with my wife in the 340 00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:45.279 same place as she wishes would be most comforting. Have you picked a spot? 341 00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.640 Oh? Yes, long time and go back when I was a little 342 00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:57.319 boy where. It's in a cemetery called Pacific Crest Cemetery. It's located on 343 00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:03.680 one one eighty second Ingwood Avenue. I have an uncle and a grandfather that's 344 00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:11.240 been buried there since I was a little child. And you you decided as 345 00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:15.519 a boy that that's where you wanted to be buried. Yes. I loved 346 00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:22.680 my uncle quite quite highly, and my grandfather also. Sam Junior says it's 347 00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:26.960 been a hell of a journey, but he's doing his best to stay positive. 348 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:29.720 I was a machine gunner in the Marine Corps. I served in Iraq 349 00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:37.119 and Afghanistan for how long? I did a total of nine years nine years, 350 00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:41.240 so that was pretty rough. Yes, sir I was the roughness of 351 00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:45.680 that compared to the roughness of what you're going through now. Honestly, I 352 00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:52.039 think that was easier. I'm losing my parents, No, man, it 353 00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:55.160 was tough to lose brothers. Don't get me wrong, but these are my 354 00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:59.759 parents. That's all I have in this world right now, or only child 355 00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:08.079 right correct. What motivates you to get up every day? I have to 356 00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:14.039 be strong so that my dad he's strong. The minute I'm not strong, 357 00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:23.279 then he's gonna give up. I can't imagine what day to day is for 358 00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:26.599 you, getting up not knowing whether today is the day or not. You 359 00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.480 know what I mean. Yes, it's very scary because I do pop my 360 00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:33.200 head in the room every once fall to make sure if I hear him breathing, 361 00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.319 and every day it's scary when I open that door. You're watching me 362 00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:40.319 interview your son, and you're listening to a little bit of what he's been 363 00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:41.799 going through on a daily basis. What does that? What does that do 364 00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:48.039 to you? Tears my heart out. I can't. I can't fathom what 365 00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:59.359 my son has has given up just for me. I'm nobody. I'm just 366 00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:06.480 or combat veteran who did his job for his country. Who everyone should that 367 00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:11.480 can? I mean, if you love living here, by God, you 368 00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:17.839 should stand up for it. The VA is a good place, but they 369 00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:22.440 kind of dropped the ball now and now here we are with your kind of 370 00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:27.400 person helping us, trying to reach that goal so that me and my wife 371 00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:33.799 can be together for eternity, as we promised God when we got married. 372 00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:37.799 Sam Junior says he needs help to finance the new burial plots, by the 373 00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:42.960 caskets, burial clothes, funeral costs, in any other unforeseen expenses. I 374 00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:47.359 would like assistance with the go fund me so I could get the finances. 375 00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:51.799 I could take care of everything, preferably before they pass, because once they 376 00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:56.920 pass it'll be too late. I just found out that hospice won't take my 377 00:28:56.039 --> 00:29:00.480 father unless I already have the things arranged, and by law, he can 378 00:29:00.519 --> 00:29:04.440 only be here two days once he's passed, so kind of put some pressure 379 00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:07.799 on me. He says. It's a race against the clock to do everything 380 00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:12.920 by the book while honoring the final wishes of his dying parents. For a 381 00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:17.839 wake up call, I'm Steve Gregory KFI News. To learn how you can 382 00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:21.759 help, you can go to KFI AM six forty dot com slash burial. 383 00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:26.400 It's KFI AM six forty dot com slash barre burial, so tough to lose 384 00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:30.799 a parent. Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 385 00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:36.279 The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Semi Valley is going to host the Republican presidential 386 00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:40.640 debate the second one. Seven candidates are going to be on stage, one 387 00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:45.880 fewer than the last debate because Asa Hutchinson didn't make the cut. Former President 388 00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:51.160 Trump is skipping the debate. He's going to be in Detroit today. LA 389 00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:56.079 County's going to spend fifteen point six million dollars on efforts to stop organized retail 390 00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:59.319 theft. The LA County Board of Supervisors voted to spend the money that will 391 00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:03.720 come from a state gramp grant following a rise in smashing, grab and flash 392 00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:07.519 mob style robberies in recent months. Hey, twenty five years ago today, 393 00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:14.319 Google was born. The search Giant actually started as a PhD project at Stanford 394 00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:18.839 University in nineteen ninety eight. We are just a couple of minutes away from 395 00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:22.720 Handle on the news this morning at a lot's stuff to talk about. Here's 396 00:30:22.759 --> 00:30:27.920 one speaking of smashing grabs and flash mob robberies. Target is throwing its proverbial 397 00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:32.960 hands up in the air, giving up. Theft has gotten so bad it's 398 00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:37.759 closing nine stores, including three in California. Right now, let's say good 399 00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:41.799 morning to ABC's Stephen Portnoy. Stephen, the Senate put together a stopgap measure 400 00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:48.279 that could keep the lights on for a few weeks. Yeah, it has, 401 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:49.680 but it's not going to pass the House, So I guess you know 402 00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:56.079 that's that. Look all right, thanks for calling today, Steve, Hey, 403 00:30:56.160 --> 00:30:59.119 you bet, Matt listen, I'll tell you what you know. This 404 00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:00.920 makes a government shut down a lot more likely. All right, So where 405 00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.200 are we? The Senate yesterday announced to by partisan agreement that would keep the 406 00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:08.359 government funded through November seventeenth, six billion dollars for disaster relief, six billion 407 00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:11.920 dollars for Ukraine. Last night the House Speaker said, no, no, 408 00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:18.440 thanks. Where we stand right now is Kevin McCarthy's trying to demonstrate to his 409 00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:22.240 colleagues and of the country that he has a sense of where we're going to 410 00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:26.319 go and how he's going to keep a government shutdown from happening. But he 411 00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:32.920 has no particular plan and the pressure that he's under from his hard right flank 412 00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:37.119 to avoid putting that Senate bill on the floor is intense. If you were 413 00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:40.640 to do it, it would surely pass. You'd have all the Democrats on 414 00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:42.759 board, and what you need four or five Republicans to cross the aisle and 415 00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:48.400 avoid a government shutdown. That would probably happen, But he would be handing 416 00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:52.240 his opponents in the Republican Conference a sword which they would use to take his 417 00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:57.279 gabble, and so to keep control of the House, He's going to listen 418 00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:00.079 to what his hard right members are saying, and he's going to try to 419 00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:04.599 reshape the narrative. He's going to say, listen, this short term stop 420 00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.519 gap might avoid a government shutdown, but it doesn't do what we need to 421 00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:10.799 do as a country right now, and that's focused on the US Mexico border. 422 00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:15.119 We need not just to have current funding levels, we need to increase 423 00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:17.079 funding levels for the border, and this bill doesn't do that. Instead, 424 00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:21.319 it spends six billion dollars in Ukraine. They don't need the money, he's 425 00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:27.440 arguing, and yet he isn't sure that even if he were to craft a 426 00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:31.920 short term spending measure that included additional funding for the border that it would necessarily 427 00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:37.000 have the support of Republicans to pass the House. Probably wouldn't be a bipartisan 428 00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:38.079 bill, it wouldn't get Democrats on board, and then what do you do 429 00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:43.160 when it goes to the Senate. So the traditional way of dealing with these 430 00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:46.559 problems is to have a bipartisan agreement emerge from the Senate, basically force it 431 00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:52.920 upon the House. The recalcitant Republicans in the House know that play, and 432 00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:54.680 they're trying to get ahead of it, and they're trying to say not this 433 00:32:54.839 --> 00:33:00.440 time, Kevin. And so that's where we are. I will one more 434 00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:04.200 point, and that is in past shutdowns that we remember from let's remember ten 435 00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:06.759 years ago and Ted Cruz read out of green eggs and ham on the Senate 436 00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:08.960 floor and there was a shutdown, and then in twenty eighteen there was a 437 00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:14.640 shutdown lasted about a month. Everybody who works for the government ultimately is made 438 00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:17.599 whole. But the difference in those shutdowns and the one that could happen starting 439 00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:22.759 this weekend is prior to the shutdowns in twenty thirteen and twenty eighteen, there 440 00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:27.920 was bipartisan agreement to fund the Department of Defense, and that meant that everyone 441 00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:30.119 who works for the Department of Defense, including the active duty military and the 442 00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:36.200 reservists and the National Guard members all get paid through the entirety of the shutdown. 443 00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:39.599 That has not happened now, which means for the first time in a 444 00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:44.279 long time, if ever, in the modern shutdown era, that you could 445 00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:46.599 have a circumstance where military families have tremendous uncertainty as to how they're going to 446 00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:51.440 pay their bills. That hasn't happened in the previous shutdowns. Today, the 447 00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:53.920 House of Representatives is going to take up a full year Defense appropriations bill, 448 00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:58.279 which would keep those military paychecks flowing. But I've taken a look at the 449 00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:01.480 language. It includes provisions banning the use of funds on critical race theory, 450 00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:08.519 drag Queen's story hour hormone replacement therapy, and surgery for gender affirming care. 451 00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:14.800 Particular provision that would ban the use of government funds to extend security clearances to 452 00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:17.800 people who signed the letter before the twenty twenty election that said that Hunter Biden's 453 00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:22.039 laptop was rushing disinformation. These are things that are what we'd call poison pills 454 00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:24.880 that the Democrats in the Senate would never accept that. The Democratic SIT's in 455 00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:30.119 the White House would never enact and signing the law. So until there's agreement 456 00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:32.880 between the House and Senate on how to fund the military, and there isn't 457 00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:37.199 such an agreement, those military families will be affected in they shutdown in the 458 00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:38.159 way they haven't been of late. And that's a point that needs to be 459 00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:43.199 underscored. Okay, so you said that everybody will be eventually made hold. 460 00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:45.880 So if the government did shut down and there was no provision to fund the 461 00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:52.719 military during that time, once the government turned the lights back on, proverbially, 462 00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:55.519 they would get that back pay. Yeah, that's right, but it's 463 00:34:57.199 --> 00:34:59.360 it's going to leave them. It's not like they're making a ton of money 464 00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:02.119 and probably mass amounts of money and savings that they can get through for a 465 00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:06.519 couple of months. An increasing number of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. 466 00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:07.719 Yeah, what do you do when there's no paycheck? Right? You? 467 00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:12.639 You incurred debt on your credit card and then owe to bank that interest? 468 00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:15.480 What you turn to? Friends and charities? I mean, last time there 469 00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:19.480 was a government shutdown here, there were food banks that were set up in 470 00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:22.159 Washington, DC. To see two at the government workers could put food on 471 00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:23.719 the table for their families. Because it lasted about a month, they missed 472 00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:30.000 two pay cycles. So that could happen. And look, at the end 473 00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:32.800 of the day, if you if you collect a paycheck from the US Treasury, 474 00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:37.679 you're going to be made whole once Congress gets its act together and passes 475 00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:40.159 something. But if you work for a government contractor if you work in a 476 00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:44.480 government building and you're there on the cafeteria and you don't work for the for 477 00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:46.119 the agency, but you work for a contract of the disbusiness with the agency, 478 00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:50.400 you might be, in a polite way, the most polite way I 479 00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:54.199 can put it, you might be affected, yeah by this, and until 480 00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:58.960 there's a deal, you might not be made whole. And chances are you 481 00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:00.760 will not be made whole if you work for a contractor right because you don't 482 00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:05.719 get those hours back. Okay, Yeah, it's pretty far reaching. It's 483 00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:08.519 sort of like the writer's strike was here and the sag strike here. It's 484 00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:15.000 just the tentacles of it go into every sector of the economy. So okay, 485 00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:16.679 so what happens next, Well, we wait and see what happens. 486 00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:19.800 So the House is going to vote on something that would be dead on arrival 487 00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:21.519 in the Senate. The Senate's going to vote on something, it'll be dead 488 00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:24.400 on arrival in the House, and more days get wasted. Okay, I 489 00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:28.039 hate to laugh, Stephen, because I know it's very serious, but my 490 00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:30.760 goodness, it's just ridiculous. Thank you so much for your time today. 491 00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:35.039 Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 492 00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:37.760 hour newsroom. Target says it is closing nine stores across the country because of 493 00:36:37.880 --> 00:36:42.559 crime and safety threats. The company says it's closing stores in New York City, 494 00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:46.119 in Seattle, in Portland, Oregon, and in the San Francisco, 495 00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:50.119 Oakland area.
