We've got a lot of great news 8 00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.679 stories that we've been working on, and well, let's just jump right in, 9 00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:47.039 shall we. Here's what's ahead on wake Up Call. The big presidential 10 00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:52.159 debate is happening this Thursday between President Biden and former President Trump. We'll dive 11 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:56.479 into how the two candidates are preparing in very different ways. And more than 12 00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.479 a thousand people have died in the desert of Saudi Arabia during the pilgrimage to 13 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.760 due to the extreme temperatures, and some of those who died were Americans. 14 00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:11.519 And it's Animal Rights Week. That means we're talking about we're talking with an 15 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.760 expert who's going to share how you can help. Then at six p' oh 16 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:18.040 five, it's handled on the news. Parts of southern California are under a 17 00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:22.239 heat alert, but now there's a chance of thunderstorms. We're going to talk 18 00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:26.480 with you all about what you can expect over the next few days. But 19 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.519 let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four 20 00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.719 hour newsroom. LA police are still trying to find three people involved in a 21 00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.560 fatal shooting on a metro train in South la. It happened just before seven 22 00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:42.239 thirty Friday night at the Losienaga Jefferson station. This rider says he saw a 23 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.400 man jump onto the train as the doors close, while being chased by the 24 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:51.280 other men who were yelling snitch. The train car ends up taking off and 25 00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:55.640 then next thing you know, it stops. You told KTLA the trains usually 26 00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.840 stop to let people on, but in this case, those people ended up 27 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:04.359 pulling out a gun and shooting a guy point blake. That man was shot 28 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.959 in the head. The killers and the other two with him were said to 29 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:12.919 be Hispanic men who took off on skateboards. The fire that's burned nearly sixteen 30 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:17.159 thousand acres in the Gorman area is now eighty six percent surrounded The progress has 31 00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:22.319 allowed fire crews to be reduced to about six hundred and forty five. Firefighters 32 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:29.240 focused on protecting critical infrastructure and recreation areas throughout the fire footprint. Evacuation orders 33 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.800 were reduced to evacuation warnings over the weekend, and the fire has been burning 34 00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:44.879 since June fifteenth. One person has been arrested during a violent meeting between Jews 35 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:51.159 and pro Palestinian protesters in LA's Pico Robertson area. The protesters had gathered in 36 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.960 front of a synagogue yesterday that led to fights in the streets. Police responded 37 00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:00.879 in riot gear. The person arrested was carrying what police called a spike flag. 38 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:06.719 Mari Bass issued a statement last night condemning the violence. She called it 39 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:10.680 aberrant and said blocking access to a place of worship is unacceptable. She says 40 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:15.759 she's called on police to do more patrols in the Pico Robertson neighborhood, as 41 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:20.400 well as outside of houses of worship throughout the city. A vigil has been 42 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.039 held in Arkansas to remember the four people killed in what police say was a 43 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:29.240 completely random shooting at a grocery store. Hundreds of people gathered for the memorial 44 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.080 last night. Fifteen people were hurt in the attack on Friday, including the 45 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:39.240 alleged shooter. State Police Colonel Mike Hagar says one of those killed was in 46 00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:43.879 a hospital, was a hospital room nurse and a mom to a ten month 47 00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:50.080 old daughter. She was shot while rendering aid to another gunshot victim. Instead 48 00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:54.560 of fleeing the store, she stopped to render eight. The shooter was confronted 49 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:59.879 by police in a matter of minutes. Hagar says the man's actions were most 50 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:04.680 We're most cowardly and pathetic. Toyota is recalling about one hundred and forty five 51 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:09.879 thousand SUVs because the curtain shield airbag on the driver's side may not be working 52 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:15.639 properly during certain crashes if the driver's window is down. The recall impacts certain 53 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:20.560 twenty twenty four Toyota Grand Highlander and Lexus TX vehicles. Toyota says it's working 54 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:25.279 on a solution for the issue. All right. Both President Biden and Donald 55 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.720 Trump are getting ready for their big debate this week, and they're likely preparing 56 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.879 in very different ways. ABC Stephen Portnoy joins US Live with more on how 57 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.519 they're getting ready. Good morning, Stephen, Hey, good morning, to 58 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:39.720 you, all right, So let's jump right in. What is Biden doing 59 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:45.079 well. The President has been hunkered down at Camp David since last Thursday and 60 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:50.759 will continue at the presidential retreat in the western Maryland Mountains with a dozen aids 61 00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:59.720 conducting formal ninety minute mock debate sessions. He is intending to remind voters of 62 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.319 what the four years of Donald Trump's presidency were like and warn of what four 63 00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:06.759 more years could be. At the same time, Donald Trump is out on 64 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:10.839 the campaign trail. He was in Washington, d C. And Philadelphia this 65 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:15.600 weekend mocking his opponent for needing to do debate prep sessions. Trump says he 66 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:21.240 doesn't have a strategy for debate prep, that engaging with audiences is his debate 67 00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:26.240 prep. But that is not the full story. We are told that he 68 00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:30.879 has been holding more than a dozen policy conversations with current and former advisors to 69 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.959 dig into some of the details and perhaps study up a bit on some of 70 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:39.199 the issues that he'll bring to Thursday night's debate. We're told specifically, he's 71 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:45.079 preparing for how to respond to questions about January sixth, and is now a 72 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.920 criminal record in addition to the charges of criminality that he still faces. There's 73 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:53.680 definitely going to be a lot to talk about. Trump said over the weekend 74 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:59.160 that this debate will be quote to the most boring because there is no audience 75 00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.199 in only a couple of news anchors there in the audience. But there's still 76 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.160 going to be a lot of anticipation to see these two on stage. Again. 77 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.480 Do you think it's going to be fireworks or do you think it's going 78 00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.560 to be boring? Well, I don't know. Look, it's certainly going 79 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.720 to be a television show, but also airing on radio stations. Hopefully this 80 00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:16.839 one from coast to coast will see. Look, the bottom line is it's 81 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:20.920 an opportunity for Americans to get engaged early on in the process before either man 82 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:26.519 formerly becomes his party's nominee. This is the race they're going to face off, 83 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.800 and it's a high stakes moment for both candidates. Will it be the 84 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:35.680 kind of tense, chaotic scrum that we saw in the first debate in twenty 85 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:40.560 twenty, I don't know. The rules would have it, and a lot 86 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:42.959 is made of the rules. Let's see how much of an impact it actually 87 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.000 has on the audience and the viewership. Do you think that Trump is going 88 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.639 to try to downplay his criminal conviction. I don't know what he's going to 89 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:54.399 say different from what he's been saying on the campaign trail. I think that 90 00:06:54.720 --> 00:07:00.319 ultimately what he has argued is that the whole thing is unfair and you know, 91 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.519 put together by his opponent, by the sitting president. Now, whether 92 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.120 he'll say that to Joe Biden's face and try to get a response from Biden, 93 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:13.560 I think remains to be seen. But I'd be surprised if we hear 94 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:17.560 something different from Trump on Thursday night. What kinds of questions do you think 95 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:21.959 Americans really want to know from these two? What are we all just dying 96 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:26.040 to hear them say at this point? Well, if I knew that I'd 97 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.519 be president. But look, I think at the end of the day, 98 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:31.399 what Americans are most concerned about, and surveys bare this out, and I 99 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:36.879 think just common sense. Americans are concerned about affordability, about the ability to 100 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:44.279 have a faith and confidence in the government that we elect. They are concerned 101 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:48.879 about a future for their children, and whether they are ideologically left right or 102 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:54.079 center. Those are universal concerns. At the same time, the question is 103 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:58.040 what's to be done about it, and I think both men will have their 104 00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:01.439 own visions, and certainly they have different styles, and that'll be on display 105 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.519 on Thursday night. But in addition to the issues, right the substance of 106 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:11.839 issues, whether it's the economy or abortion or anything else, immigration, crime, 107 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:16.000 I think that character matters too, And that's what these debates are useful 108 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.319 for, because we really do get to see these two men who would be 109 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.639 president. One is one was on the stage, and we'll be able to 110 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.759 assess as Americans which one we would prefer. Well, thank you so much, 111 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:28.199 Steven, I appreciate your time. It certainly is going to be an 112 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.639 interesting debate, that's for sure. You bet. All right, Let's get 113 00:08:31.679 --> 00:08:35.200 back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 114 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:41.799 Officials in Orange County are warning parents about a dangerous online gaming tactic some 115 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:46.240 kids use to retaliate against opponents. A recent study show six out of ten 116 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.759 kids over the age of two play video games across multiple platforms. Cyber investigator 117 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.360 Lance Larson says some kids who have lost to another player online will make a 118 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.039 false report of an act of violent crime, sending police to the other person's 119 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.440 home and bad things can happen. We've even had a death here in Orange 120 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:07.879 County associated with a swatting attack. Larson says some gamers are able to get 121 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.159 their opponents address and other information online before making the swatting call. He says 122 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:15.720 it's important for parents to talk to their kids about managing their emotions if and 123 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:20.360 when they lose. Chris Adler KFI News, Governor Newsom and Democratic lawmakers have 124 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.559 come up with a deal to cut sixteen billion dollars from the budget. The 125 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:30.919 deal will also declare a statewide fiscal emergency and pull money from the state's rainy 126 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:35.679 day reserve funds. The twenty twenty four to twenty twenty five budget will delay 127 00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:41.200 a minimum wage increase for healthcare workers until October, got more than one billion 128 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:46.000 dollars for affordable housing, and cuts seven hundred and fifty million dollars from the 129 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:50.200 state's prison system. If you're getting up there in age like myself, or 130 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.399 know somebody who is as in, well, maybe sixty over, Okay, 131 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.080 maybe I'm not sixty over. ABC's Chuck Seversine says one expert has found the 132 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:03.639 fountain of youth, and it's a heavy subject. Doctor Marcus Bammon is a 133 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.480 sort of preacher of weights resistance training. The docs a physiologists with decades of 134 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.639 research into aging lives in Tokyo. He says, while there are biological limits 135 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:16.480 on what you can handle, the bulk of age related decline in strength, 136 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.440 flexibility, and endurance is behavioral. Check with your doctor, says Bauman, 137 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.720 who tells the Associated Press that he likes to say that the fountain of youth 138 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:28.639 is the water cooler in the gym.

ABC's Karen Travers joins us live from 164 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:41.320 the White House with details. Good morning, Karen, Good morning. Okay, 165 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:45.360 So what does President Biden have to prove in this debate? Well, 166 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.039 you know, you look at kind of where we are in this campaign cycle 167 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:54.000 at this point, and the Biden campaign really believes that Americans just aren't fully 168 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:56.519 tuned into this, that they're not paying attention to the race yet, and 169 00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:01.000 they're very aware that the President needs a wrong performance on what could be the 170 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:07.279 biggest audience that they'll have this campaign cycle. The showdown is very critical for 171 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:11.559 the President to be able to make what they hope is a sharp contrast between 172 00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:16.080 his vision for America and Donald Trump's because these are two people that Americans know 173 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:22.639 very well, they've debated before. This is a familiar scene for many Americans. 174 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.799 So for the President, he is hunkering down with senior advisors at Camp 175 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:30.039 David. He's been there for several days. He's going to spend the week 176 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.000 there and we won't see him until he travels to Atlanta for the debate on 177 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:39.639 Thursday. He's doing his debate prep in kind of stages where he's refining his 178 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.799 message, rewriting talking points, working on attack lines, memorable lines, and 179 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.519 then at the end he'll do mock debates where he actually stands at a podium, 180 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.120 does a ninety minute session as if it's the real thing against Donald Trump 181 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:56.039 on Thursday. Now, because this debate is going to be very different from 182 00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:03.039 previous presidential debates, how is that affecting his preparation? You know, I 183 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:07.360 think they are very happy that they got the terms they wanted for this debate. 184 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:11.360 So first, it's much earlier than previous debates. We've never seen a 185 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:15.879 general election debate like this before the conventions, before they're even the nominees for 186 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.039 their party. But the Biden campaign, because of what I was saying, 187 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:22.720 thinking people aren't paying attention. They want to jumpstart the race. They want 188 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.919 people to see Donald Trump next to President Biden. They want people to be 189 00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:31.840 paying attention to Donald Trump's words, and they want to lay out what they 190 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:37.960 say are his plans for another four years in office for Donald Trump. And 191 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.559 so that's one big part of it. How early this is coming. Two, 192 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:45.720 it's not going to be in front of an audience like previous debates, 193 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.480 So you're not going to hear applause lines. You're not going to hear interruptions 194 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.360 or any cheering or booing or anything like that. It's going to be very 195 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.759 quiet. The Biden campaign wanted this to be a very serious, somber moment 196 00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:01.399 where it's all about the policy and focusing on the issues. The other big 197 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:05.960 thing is the microphones are only on when it's your turn to talk. We've 198 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.279 seen these two kind of turn into shouting matches in previous debate cycles. So 199 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.840 that's going to be interesting to see when one maybe tries to interrupt, their 200 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:18.360 microphone won't be on. So what that will look and sound like. It's 201 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:22.240 going to be very interesting. Now, even with these restrictions in place, 202 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:24.039 you know, Donald Trump is still always a bit of a wild card. 203 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.000 We never know what he's going to say, or what direction, what kinds 204 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.480 of things are they prepping Biden for in terms of like how he might be 205 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.080 criticized, Like what can they expect him to What kind of criticism do you 206 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:37.320 think he'll get from Trump? Yeah, I mean, I think you can 207 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.039 just look at Trump's rallies, it's not surprising what he will likely go after 208 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.840 him for. I think it to be fitness for office. I think he'll 209 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:48.759 go after him on you know, economic issues and numbers over the past couple 210 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.279 of years. The flip side of that, too, is that for the 211 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:56.440 Biden campaign, they really believe that people again aren't paying attention and haven't paid 212 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:00.879 attention for the last three and a half years. They've only Donald Trump in 213 00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.240 quick sound bites and not at length, and they feel that when people are 214 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:10.360 listening and tuning in for long bits of Donald Trump, they're going to be 215 00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:15.320 surprised to hear what he's saying and in their view, the dark vision he's 216 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:19.000 laying out. And to that point, how much do they really expect this 217 00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:23.879 type of debate to have an impact on voters, because it seems like people 218 00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:30.360 who are for Trump are pretty steadily still for Trump and Biden absolutely, you 219 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.519 know, it's those people who aren't really what do they call the kind of 220 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.080 the double haters, the people who aren't thrilled with either chores at this point, 221 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:41.639 and you know who are looking at this of okay, so what is 222 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.559 my best option? And you know some of those people, but also another 223 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:48.720 group of people who just truly aren't paying attention and really just aren't tuned in. 224 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.759 They've got other things going on. They don't like politics right now, 225 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:56.159 but maybe they're going to be paying attention to this week because this is so 226 00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:59.799 highly anticipated. It really is. Well, I know we will be watching, 227 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:02.799 and thank you so much for your insights. Have a wonderful rest of 228 00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:04.400 your day. Thanks you too. All right, let's get back to some 229 00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:08.839 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Governor Newsom 230 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:14.799 and Democratic lawmakers have agreed to delay a minimum wage increase for about four hundred 231 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:21.799 and twenty six thousand healthcare workers to help balance the state's budget. Healthcare workers 232 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:25.759 were supposed to get a raise on July first, and eventually have their pay 233 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:30.000 increase to twenty five dollars an hour over the next decade. The new agreement 234 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.839 is part of a plan to close an estimated forty six point eight billion dollar 235 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.079 deficit. Newsome is expected to talk about the budget in his State of the 236 00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:44.000 State speech tomorrow. Los Angeles has received a grant to help with overpopulated and 237 00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.079 understaffed animal shelters. The Best Friends Animal Society has awarded the city one hundred 238 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:52.160 and fifty thousand dollars. The money from the Utah based animal sanctuary will be 239 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.119 used to hire part time staff to help with animal care and administrative duties. 240 00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:00.799 The grant comes at a time where the city is banned breeding per and take 241 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.759 in other actions to relieve the shelters, which are two hundred percent over capacity. 242 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:07.559 The department has also launched a marketing campaign to get more people to adopt 243 00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:14.359 from the shelters in downtown La. Michael Monks KFI News. Two LAPD officers 244 00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:18.880 have been heard at a crash with another car in this city's Jefferson Park area. 245 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:22.720 The civilian driver of the other car was in critical condition last night. 246 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.000 Police say that driver made a left turn at Adam's Boulevard and Grammercy Place, 247 00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:32.559 causing the police vehicle to crash into it. After nearly forty years designing award 248 00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:37.000 winning Rose Parade floats, Fiesta Parade Floats is no longer an authorized Tournament of 249 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:42.680 Roses builder. The Pasadena Star is reporting the Tournament of Roses Association dropped the 250 00:18:42.680 --> 00:18:48.160 thirty six year old company as an authorized rose parade float builder because it did 251 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:52.920 not meet certain criteria, but a spokesperson wouldn't elaborate on what exactly that was. 252 00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:57.440 Tim Estes, He's the founder of Fiesta Parade Floats, says his company 253 00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:03.079 is in financial trouble even after just in the last three years winning seventeen awards 254 00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:07.680 for eighteen rose parade floats he's designed. As Just believes the reason Fiesta was 255 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.839 dropped is likely due to unpaid rent for the warehouse he leases from the tournament. 256 00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:17.440 LA has ranked a little lower on a list of best places for families 257 00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:21.039 in the US the best and Worst places to raise a family. In twenty 258 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:26.400 twenty four study by the personal finance website wallet hub ranks LA eighty fourth out 259 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.319 of one hundred and eighty cities. Last year was eighty six. Analyst Cassandra 260 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:36.039 Happy says one reason is that housing affordability is so high. That's where they 261 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:41.559 really seem to be struggling is when it comes to that affordability piece. We 262 00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:45.279 also see some of that in some of the other categories we looked at, 263 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:49.559 such as education and childcare. Fremont in the Bay Area was listed as the 264 00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:55.440 best place to raise a family. Irvine is third on the list. Police 265 00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:59.240 are still looking for three people involved in in deadly shooting on the Metro. 266 00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.519 Man was shot and killed on the Metro E Line train in Baldwin Hills. 267 00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:08.039 Buckingham Palace just released this. They say Britain's Princess Anne is in the hospital 268 00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:11.759 with minor injuries after an incident on her estate. Will update you on that. 269 00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:18.119 And Inside Out two has grossed one hundred million dollars in its second weekend 270 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:22.599 in theaters. That sets the Pixar sequel on a course to be one of 271 00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:26.279 the biggest grossing movies in history. Wow. And at six p' oh five 272 00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:32.720 it's handle on the news. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyaho says the intense phase 273 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:36.279 of the war with Hamas is about to end, and we'll have some more 274 00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:40.119 details on what he means exactly by that. Then at five point fifty it's 275 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:42.920 Animal Rights Awareness Week and we're going to talk to an expert about how you 276 00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:48.640 can get involved. For now, let's get back to some of the stories 277 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:52.680 coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom, LA police are trying to 278 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.319 find those three people involved in a fatal shooting on the Metro train happened in 279 00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:00.319 South LA just before seven thirty Friday night at the Low Sienega Jefferson station. 280 00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:04.319 This riter says he saw a man jump onto the train as the doors closed, 281 00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:07.480 while being chased by other men who were yelling snitch. The train car 282 00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.559 ends up taking off and then next thing you know, it stops. You 283 00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:15.680 told KTLA the trains usually stopped to let people on, but in this case 284 00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:21.480 those people ended up pulling out a gun and shooting a guy point blake. 285 00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:25.160 The man was shot in the head, and the killer and two others with 286 00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:29.960 him were said to be Hispanic men who took off on skateboards. The fire 287 00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:33.359 that's burned nearly sixteen thousand acres in the Gorman area is now eighty six percent 288 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:38.160 surrounded. The progress has allowed fire crews to be reduced to six hundred and 289 00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:44.160 forty five. Firefighters focused on protecting critical infrastructure and recreation areas throughout the fire 290 00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:48.319 footprint. Evacuation orders were reduced to evacuation warnings. This weekend, and the 291 00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:59.200 fire has been burning since June fifteenth. One person has been arrested during a 292 00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:04.720 violent meeting between Jews and pro Palestinian protesters in LA's Pico Robertson area. The 293 00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:10.319 protesters had gathered in front of a synagogue yesterday that led to fights in the 294 00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:15.079 streets. Police responded in riot gear. The person arrested was carrying what police 295 00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:19.759 called a spiked flag. Marabas issued a statement last night condemning the violence. 296 00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:26.240 She called it aberrant and said blocking access to a place of worship is unacceptable. 297 00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.039 She says she's called on police to do more patrols in the Pico Robertson 298 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:37.279 neighborhood, as well as outside houses of worship throughout the city. All Right, 299 00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.359 more than a thousand people have died in the desert of Saudi Arabia during 300 00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:47.160 the Haji pilgrimage due to the extreme temperatures. ABC's Tom Rivers joins US Life 301 00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:51.759 from London with more. Good morning Tom, Good morning Heather. Yeah, 302 00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:56.480 the numbers have been going up. A revised number now one three hundred and 303 00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:02.559 one people from a variety pilgrims from a variety of countries. I guess about 304 00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:03.640 half of them, if you want to break it down that way, came 305 00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:08.720 from Egypt, but you had some pilgrims dying as well from Indonesia, from 306 00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:15.039 India, dozens from Jordan, Guenesia, Morocco, Algeria, Malaysia, even 307 00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:18.839 two said to be two US pilgrims as well. So a tragic, tragic 308 00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:25.240 run of events. And everyone's pointing to the temperatures over the five days the 309 00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:30.799 fourteenth through the nineteenth of June. The lowest highest temperature on those days was 310 00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:36.400 one hundred and seventeen degrees and the hottest temperature one hundred and twenty degrees, 311 00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:38.920 and some of the elderly et cetera, et cetera, just could not cope. 312 00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:44.319 And yeah, saggering number of people die. Can you talk about what 313 00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:48.799 the Haji pilgrimage is and why it's so important to so many people. Yeah, 314 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:52.960 for the Muslims, it is something we're supposed to do once at least 315 00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:57.000 once in their adult life. It is one of the five pillars of Islam. 316 00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:03.319 And you have to go to Mecca and once you get there, you 317 00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:07.319 go around in a circle and it's something that you're you know, if you 318 00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:12.599 are a Muslim, you're you're certainly encouraged to do another interesting thing, because 319 00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:18.240 that been other problems in the past stampedes back in twenty fifteen in which about 320 00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:25.039 the twenty four hundred pilgrims died. Another stampede nineteen ninety, so the Saudis 321 00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:29.240 that put in place a lot more crowd control measures, so they got, 322 00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:32.480 you know, a lot of that figured out, but they didn't get this 323 00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:37.440 figured out. Regarding the high temperatures and the fact that those that are quote 324 00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:44.519 unquote authorized to go to the Hodge, they buy a package, they fly 325 00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:48.200 in, they have a hotel waiting, they got transportation obviously, so there's 326 00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:53.359 sheltered and they're okay. But those that come mostly from in this case Egypt, 327 00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:56.759 that are unauthorized, they get there, they got nowhere to stay. 328 00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:03.720 And the elements if you're of a certain age or a certain disposition, we'll 329 00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:07.480 get you. And that's what we're looking at numerically right now. I mean, 330 00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:11.920 this is such a tragedy on such a large scale, and you you 331 00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:15.359 know, you can't help, But wonder was something like this avoidable? Were 332 00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:19.400 people going to go no matter what if there were heat warnings? Yeah, 333 00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:22.319 Well, I mean the thing is you know it is. It is as 334 00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:26.640 I say, it's a trip you don't make very often, and you might 335 00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:30.160 have planned it. And if you go there and it's unauthorized and you have 336 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.839 a long, long walk about the only thing the Saudist can do. Because 337 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:37.240 some of the people from Egypt for instance, that were unauthorized, they says, 338 00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:40.200 no, you got to go home. We're not going to put you 339 00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:44.240 on a plane. Go home. But those that are already there, they 340 00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:48.640 might have to put up more, if you will, shelters nearby, sunscreens 341 00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:53.319 and watering areas, maybe you know, under a nice tent, something of 342 00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:59.319 that nature, just because if you can't solve all the problems of the unauthorized, 343 00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:02.359 at least, you know, give them some protection, some water, 344 00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:06.319 because they are there and you have to deal with them one way or another. 345 00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:11.960 So really the onus is on you know, Saudi Arabia to put up 346 00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:15.480 for more protections in place to prevent this from happening again. Well, it's 347 00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:17.799 also to kick people. It's like, yeah, if you're not authorized, 348 00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:22.799 what are you doing here exactly? So do you think this is going to 349 00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:27.640 kind of sway people from going again in the future or is it just like 350 00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:33.559 because they it is part of their religion. They're just going to go regardless, 351 00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:37.960 probably the latter. So hence, you know, Saudi authorities can do 352 00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:44.079 what they want or do what they can to try to bring down the unauthorized 353 00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:47.279 numbers, but they're never going to be perfect on that score. Hence, 354 00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:51.440 they can throw some money at things like they've done with crowd control, with 355 00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:56.200 stampedes, throw some money at watering stations, just because there's going to be 356 00:26:56.200 --> 00:27:02.119 some people out are there not sitting in a hotel, and then that small 357 00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:03.759 group is going to need some help, some way, shape or form. 358 00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:07.759 It's truly such a heartbreaking situation. Thank you so much for giving us the 359 00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:12.200 information. Tom tick Care, Thank you.

She is joining us now to talk 406 00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.119 about Animal Rights Awareness Week. Good morning, Katie, Good morning Heather. 407 00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:56.519 Thank you for having me. Sure, all right, let's talk about what 408 00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:03.279 is Animal Rights Awareness Week? Yeah? So, Animal Rights Awareness Week is 409 00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:08.559 established by Indefensive Animals in nineteen ninety one. It is a week that aims 410 00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:15.240 to initiate conversations about protecting animals of all kinds. So the goal is really 411 00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:21.119 to direct public attention to the needs and rights of animals, like highlighting various 412 00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:26.640 cruelties they face in our food systems, through cosmetic testing, medical research industries, 413 00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:32.519 in the captivity world, and in the wild all of the goal of 414 00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:37.680 driving unful change brands. So, what would you describe as meaningful change for 415 00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:45.799 animals? Yeah, good question. We would like to see animals treated better 416 00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:52.599 in everyday world. We'd like to see them not being abused and exploited in 417 00:31:52.720 --> 00:32:00.680 those systems I mentioned. Animals face unspeakable cruelties in our food systems, in 418 00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:07.160 research and testing, they're abused in captivity. Their animals who are not meant 419 00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:10.640 to be kept in captivity, who are and who are not cared for properly, 420 00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:15.480 and animals who are exploited in the wild, and we'd like to see 421 00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:17.880 an end to all of that. We have a lot of lofty goals we're 422 00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:23.119 working towards, and really that just starts the awareness of what happens to these 423 00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:28.640 animals and what hardships they face and trying to get people talking about that in 424 00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:35.079 more of the mainstream world now this week also it doesn't just focus on farm 425 00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:37.839 animals and wildlife. You guys are also helping raise awareness for people who have 426 00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:45.039 household pets. What are some ways that people who are pet owners can get 427 00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:51.440 involved here? Yeah. Absolutely. We have a companion Animals campaign. We 428 00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:57.319 do a lot of advocacy for companion animals. I know in the LA area 429 00:32:57.400 --> 00:33:04.559 specifically named California. We have a dog meat campaign to and dog meat. 430 00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:09.119 So we have several different rescue facilities, one of which is in South Korea, 431 00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:15.799 and we actually fly dogs from South Korea to California to adopt them out. 432 00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:22.519 So one of our biggest needs is actually for volunteers to help with our 433 00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:29.279 dog meat rescue. So we are looking for volunteers who are able to fly 434 00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:32.160 planes, or if you know somebody who's able to fly planes. We have 435 00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:37.880 volunteer pilots who fly our dogs the United States. We also need people to 436 00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:43.279 adopt and foster our dogs once they get here from South Korea, so that 437 00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:46.839 is a big need. And of course we have a lot of resources on 438 00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:52.799 our website that give helpful tips for how to care for your own companion animals, 439 00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:57.119 how to keep them safe in the heat, all of those kinds of 440 00:33:57.119 --> 00:34:01.599 things as well. And I also love that you guys provide information about where 441 00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:07.119 products are coming from and where you can find more cruelty free products. Tell 442 00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:12.559 me a little bit about those ways that people can participate as well. Yeah, 443 00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:17.239 absolutely, So, as I mentioned, there are a lot of words 444 00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:22.800 that go on behind the scenes in the cosmetic testing industry. So your makeups, 445 00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:27.519 your shampoo, conditioner, your toothpaste, all sorts of these products are 446 00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:31.000 often tested on animals first and it's really horrible. They put them in the 447 00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:36.679 animal's eyes, souse, they have reactions to them. And so there are 448 00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:43.280 little labels you can look for that will ensure that you're buying products, so 449 00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:49.679 like the leaping bunny, or there's the PETA certification. Those are both really 450 00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:52.559 good ones to look for. There are a lot of steak labels out there, 451 00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:57.519 perhaps well intentioned. They'll say not to sit on animals, but it's 452 00:34:57.519 --> 00:35:00.079 really important to look for those official labels. The leaping bunny is the best. 453 00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:05.599 So that is one way you can just be your everyday life shift by 454 00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:10.360 buying products that aren't listed on animals, and I love to got it. 455 00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:14.639 I always think of this when people talk about Spain and new to your Pets. 456 00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:16.239 I think about Bob Barker because he always used to say that at the 457 00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:21.360 end of every episode of Price is Right to spay and neuter your pets. 458 00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:24.000 You guys have a spay and neutering program, or you guys encourage people to 459 00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:30.039 support local programs. There's also volunteering at local animal shelters. Is that something 460 00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:31.320 that kids can do as well? Is there a way? I have an 461 00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:34.880 eleven year old that I know would love to get involved in something like this. 462 00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:40.039 Is there ways that kids can get involved? Yeah? Absolutely, we 463 00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:44.639 don't have too many kids programs who've been trying to build them out. Actually, 464 00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:50.039 I always doesn't help anyone in California, but I'll be hosting some Amphibian 465 00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:55.840 trivia events. And educational programs the next couple of weeks at my local library 466 00:35:57.199 --> 00:36:00.360 where I'm based out of in Vermont. There are all sorts of ways that 467 00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:05.880 kids can get involved, they can grow, they can go on our website. 468 00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:08.199 There are a lot of resources and activities and leaves to get involved. 469 00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:13.679 Also volunteering at your local shelter. They always need help and a lot of 470 00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:17.679 them have programs for kids and waves for them to get involved. That's wonderful, 471 00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:21.920 Okay, Katie, So remind us of the website of where people can 472 00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:25.880 get involved in activities this week and find out more information.

Governor Newsom and Democratic lawmakers 484 00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:16.440 have agreed to delay a minimum wage increase for about four hundred and twenty six 485 00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:22.400 thousand healthcare workers to help balance the state's budget. Healthcare workers were supposed to 486 00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:27.800 get a raise on July first, and eventually have their pay increase to twenty 487 00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:30.599 five dollars an hour over the next decade.

Last 497 00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:19.280 year, we were eighty six. Analyst Cassandra Happy says, one reason is 498 00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:23.239 that housing affordability is so high. That's where they really seem to be struggling 499 00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:29.280 is when it comes to that affordability piece. We also see some of that 500 00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:34.159 in some of the other categories we looked at, such as education and childcare. 501 00:38:35.400 --> 00:38:38.039 Fremont in the Bay Area was listed as the best place to raise a 502 00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:44.920 family, and Irvine is third on the list. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyaho 503 00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:49.079 says he will not agree to a ceasefire deal that ends the war in Gaza. 504 00:38:49.559 --> 00:38:53.239 Net Nyahu says he would only be willing to agree to a partial ceasefire 505 00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:59.039 that would free some of the hostages. He says Israel is committed to continuing 506 00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:01.840 the war after the pause in order to achieve the goal of destroying Hamas. 507 00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:07.360 He made the comments yesterday in an interview with a pro Netanyahoo Israeli TV channel. 508 00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:14.000 Some Republicans say President Biden should be tested for performance enhancing drugs before the 509 00:39:14.039 --> 00:39:19.159 debate. This week, Texas Congressman Ronnie Jackson claims Biden was in rare form 510 00:39:19.239 --> 00:39:22.599 during the State of the Union speech and may have been quote on something. 511 00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:24.519 As he put it, there was a Joe Biden that came out that was 512 00:39:24.840 --> 00:39:29.599 not similar at all to what we see on a day to day basis for 513 00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:34.119 the last three and a half years. Jackson tells Fox News. He says 514 00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:38.039 he's written a letter to the White House demanding Biden be drug tested. Brandon 515 00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:43.800 Wilson is the fire battalion chief in the California city of Corona. He recently 516 00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:49.320 finished his final chemotherapy treatment after a six month battle with Hodgkins lymphoma. ABC's 517 00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:52.800 Wit Johnson spoke to Wilson about the day of celebration for the forty two year 518 00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:57.559 old husband and father. Wilson, with his wife and two kids, greeted 519 00:39:57.599 --> 00:40:02.440 by more than fifty uniformed firefighters from the across southern California, tearful hugs and 520 00:40:02.599 --> 00:40:07.360 congratulations on handwritten signs. We did it because we love our brother. He's 521 00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:10.559 been with us for about nineteen years, made a dramatic impact on all of 522 00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:15.480 us and we wanted to be here and support his last day of knot fist 523 00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:21.039 bumps down the line as Wilson met with beaming faces. It means the world, 524 00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:28.079 the community support behind him. Henry Eighth's sixth and final wife, Katherine 525 00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:31.199 Parr, has taken center stage in Firebrand, the new period drama in theaters 526 00:40:31.239 --> 00:40:34.760 now. Jude Law took on the role of the famous king, and he 527 00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:39.000 told ABC he found the character through his wardrobe. I tried to look at 528 00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:44.400 shapes and silhouettes of the guy, so the shape of his head and his 529 00:40:44.679 --> 00:40:49.519 jewel and the beard. The clothes help a lot because they were wearing these 530 00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:53.079 enormous blayered outfits. They kind of wore their fortune on them, so everything 531 00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:58.199 was gold and jeweled. Alicia Vacander plays the sixth and final wife of Henry 532 00:40:58.199 --> 00:41:00.400 the Eighth. In the film, she says it was nice to play the 533 00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:05.280 wife who actually survived and was the first published woman in British history. I 534 00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:07.119 love shows like that. I don't know about you, guys, Cono and 535 00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:12.760 Ann, but I'm a big old timey British period drama nerd. No, 536 00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:15.360 you guys aren't into it, not British. I'm like old timey. I 537 00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:20.159 mean my mom got me into like Bonanza, okay, and uh my little 538 00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:22.039 house on the prairie. All right, Okay, that counts. That's good. 539 00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:27.239 Let's throwback stuff. Yeah for sure.
